It is with the most sensible concern we announce to the public the capture of three boats, on the Ohio, near the Big Miami, by the Savages. Familiarized as we have been for several weeks past, to murder and robbery, at almost every point of our frontiers, the sympathy of all ranks has been excited in an extraordinary degree by this deeply affecting catastrophe. Among the
passengers in these boats, it is with great regret we mention Samuel Purviance, Esq. of Baltimore-town, Mr. Ridout, of Maryland, Mous. Raquaut, and two other French gentlemen, one a mineralist, the other a botanist, destined to explore the natural products of this country, a Mr. Pierce, of Maryland, and a Mr. Ferguson, a trader; besides these gentlemen, there was a Mr. Gray, Garland Simmons, five other men, and a Negro woman. The three French gentlemen and Mr. Pierce, who alone occupied one boat, were attacked on the 26th ult. from circumstances we are authorised to conclude, that the other boats were taken on the 21st, as they passed Limestone on the 19th. The Savages had in their possession a flat, in which eight or ten of them gave chase to the French gentlemen, who, finding they could not escape, determined to present a white handkerchief, with other demonstrations of friendship, and surrender without resistance; for this purpose Mr. Rigaut took post at the stern of the boat, and when the Savages had approached very near, he offered his hand, and in return received the barbarian's tomahawk; at the same instant the botanist was shot dead, and the mineralist badly wounded; the boat at this time had drifted near the shore. Mr. Pierce and the surviving French gentlemen jumped overboard, and the current being rapid, the Savages past them, whilst they were butchering and plundering Mr. Rigaut and the other victim. They with difficulty gained the shore, and under cover of the night made a circuit, and fell in with the river below the Savages, where they were, the next day, taken up by a boat, and conveyed to the Rapids the day after. These are all the circumstances we have been able to collect on this melancholy occasion. There remains no doubt that the two boats first mentioned have been captured, as one of them has been taken up at the Rapids, and the other was seen in possession of the Savages, but the fate of the captives is uncertain. Two boats, a few hours in front of Mr. Rigaut, under the directions of Capt. Ballard Smith and a Mr. Hinds, were attacked at the same place from the shore, but they returned the fire, and escaped without further injury than two horses wounded; and it is said two Indians were killed in this attack.
An exact Copy of the Declaration of War against the Porte, as delivered at Vienna, to the Foreign Ambassadors.
ALL Europe have been witness to the good faith with which the Court of his Imperial Majesty has for many years cultivated peace with the Ottoman Empire; the sincere disposition it has manifested on every occasion to preserve their good neighbourhood; its disinterested and indefatigable endeavors to avoid any interruption of their mutual harmony, and its readiness to lend every office of mediation, to prevent any rupture between the Porte and the neighboring Courts.
These pacific intentions were lately displayed in the differences which arose between the Porte and the Empress of all the Russias, when the Emperor, uniting his endeavors with those of his ally the King of France, omitting nothing which was likely to effect an amicable adjustment of their disputes. And whereas the grievances and demands of the Court of Russia did not exceed a requisition, for the just execution of the existing treaty between them and the Porte, and whereas the former Courts shewed the most favorable disposition to accommodate the differences, his Imperial Majesty was not without hopes that his endeavors, joined to those of the Court of Versailles, would succeed in preventing a rupture, and the calamitous consequences that must inevitably attend it.
But the Porte soon shewed the inefficacy of this attempt in the United Courts, and shutting their eyes against their salutary advice and pressing exhortations, had the injustice to refuse the Russian Envoy the necessary delay for a courier to return with fresh instructions from Peterburgh, and required him to sign a formal deed, revoking and declaring void, the treaty of commerce concluded between the Porte and Russia, as well as every stipulation respecting the Crimea. And in consequence of his refusal to accede to a proposition, which, independent of its impropriety, exceeded the powers of an Envoy, the Porte did not hesitate to confine this Minister, contrary to the most sacred laws of nations, in the prison of the Seven Towers, and declare war against Russia at the same time.
By so violent a proceeding, things were brought to the most critical extremity; yet the Emperor did not lose hope, that hostilities might still be prevented. He flattered himself that the Porte, yielding to the representations of all the foreign Ambassadors residing at Constantinople, would be persuaded to release the Envoy, and give her Imperial Majesty a satisfaction proportionate to the violation of the law of nations offered to the person of her Minister, and thus a possibility occur of renewing conciliatory negotiations. But all these hopes were entirely destroyed
ed by the Porte commencing open acts of hostility against all remonstrances, and obliging Russia to have recourse to arms in her own defence.
The Porte were not unacquainted with the bands of amity and alliance which unite the Courts of Vienna and Peterburgh. Of this occurrence they were informed as well by verbal insinuations, as by a memorial presented towards the close of the year 1783. This was accompanied by an energetic representation of the nature of this alliance, and the danger of provoking it.
The Ottoman Court have therefore themselves only to blame, if the Emperor, after so many years employed in the preservation of peace, and in his endeavours to live with them on the best terms, and after having seized upon every opportunity of amicable intervention, finds himself at length obliged by their conduct to comply with his engagements with the Empress, and take a part in the war which she finds herself so forcibly drawn into.
The Emperor, by these facts and circumstances, conceives himself authorised to rely with the utmost confidence on the approbation of all the Courts of Europe, and flatters himself that they will unite their wishes for the success of his arms against the common enemy of Christianity.
At Vienna, Feb. 10, 1788. This declaration was accompanied by a note from the Prince of Kaunitz Rietberg, Chancellor of State, repeating the same meaning as the declaration, and adding, that these sentiments were announced at Constantinople by the Imperial internuncio.

MONTMORIN.
THIS TOWN, laid out at the solicitation of several Gentlemen, is delightfully situated on the north bank of the Ohio river, on a beautiful plain not liable to be overflowed, in a healthy and the country, about 18 miles below Fort Pitt, on the road to Fort McIntosh, in Westmoreland county, in State of Pennsylvania, and at the ancient settlement formerly called Logstown, which was abandoned previous to the peace of 1763, where an extensive sale was carried on many years.
MONTMORIN commands an extensive view of the river; the soil is equal to any on the Ohio, and abundant in coal; the navigation from thence down the river is superior to that of Fort Pitt, as the water is at all seasons much deeper at this place, and where provisions, boats, &c. may in a little time be as well furnished. It is on the great communication or route from the Eastern and middle States to the Muskingum, Miami and Kentucky settlements; as well as the Illinois, Mississippi, &c. and will probably become the new country seat: the great emigrations to the Western country render it a very desirable spot, and afford a flattering prospect of its speedy establishment. The streets are spacious, being all 66 feet wide; except Great George, Washington, Hancock and Clinton-streets, which are 90 feet; the squares are divided into 10 lots, from 44 1/2 by 47 1/2 feet front, and 220 feet in depth, and all the lots are accommodated with lanes. Five squares, or 100 lots, as distinguished in the plan, will be vested in trustees for public use, and to accommodate schools and religious societies of every denomination. The town lots will be numbered, and arranged by draught to prevent any kind of preference; and to facilitate the settlement, they will be sold at the moderate price of TEN DOLLARS each, to be paid on the delivery of certificates of purchase. Those who buy ten town lots, will be entitled to a five acre out-lot, gratis.
The appropriation of the lots will be made under the superintendence or direction of the Honorable Thomas McKean, Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, Gen. Muhlenberg and Heister, Matthew Clarkson and Richard Bache, Esqrs. On or before the first of June next; after which, on application, indisputable titles in fee simple, agreeably to the said appropriation, will be delivered gratis to the purchasers, their agents or attorneys. Certificates for lots sold, and the plan of the town to be seen at the house of Mr. Levi Hollingsworth, Mr. Mark Wilcox, Mr. Thomas Bradford, and at the Coffee-House, Philadelphia; Mr. John Delafield, New-York; General Heister, Reading; John Hubler, Esq. Lancaster; Mr. Heckenvelder, Bethlehem; Major Isaac Craig, Fort Pitt; and Colonel Stephen Bayard, Elizabeth-Town, Westmoreland County. ISAAC MELCHER. Philadelphia, Sept. 1, 1787.
EXTRACT. Page 10, Colonel Bouquet's Expedition, 1764, Friday, Oct. 5. "In this day's march the army passed through Logstown, situated seventeen and a half miles fifty-seven perches, by the path, from Fort Pitt. This place was noted before the last war, for the great trade carried on there by the English and French; but its inhabitants, the Shawanese and Delawares, abandoned it in the year 1750. The lower town extended about 60 perches over a rich bottom to the foot of a low steep ridge; on the summit of which, near the declivity, stood the upper town, commanding a most agreeable prospect over the lower, and quite across the Ohio, which is about 500 yards wide here, and by its majestic easy current adds much to the beauty of the place. Proceeding beyond Logstown we passed through a fine country, &c."
Those who are desirous of further information respecting the soil and situation of Montmorin, are referred to Governor St. Clair, General Irvine, Geo. Morgan and Matthew Clarkson, Esqrs., or any other gentleman acquainted in the Western Country. tf April 5.
