L O N D O N.
Jan. 24. The following extraordinary instance of fidelity in a dog, occurred within these few days at Margate. The wind blew very high and a high spring tide was coming in: a little boy, thinking it was going out, ventured on the Strand under the Cliffs, and did not discover his error till it was too late. In this horrid dilemma, he contrived with his stick to dig out some steps in the chalk of the Cliff, and by this method got out of the water's reach. A dog he had with him, followed him to the same place. The water came high enough frequently to wash them both. The dog, very uneasy at his situation, plunged into the sea, and left his companion; who gave him up, after an hour's absence, for lost. It appeared afterwards, that he swam round the Cliffs, and got at a distant part upon the shore, that he then ran above a mile, where the father of the child was at work in a field. He ran up to him, he howled, went to the Cliff, then barked, and pulled the man by the skirts of the coat. But all his efforts were ineffectual: the father of the child did not understand him. The dog, wearied out with these attempts to make himself intelligible, again plunged into the sea, and swam back to the child, who was almost dead with the cold. The sea, however, retiring by this time, the life of the boy and his faithful companion were both preserved, and he remains to authenticate this extraordinary story.
Extract of a Letter from Vienna, Jan. 21.
On Saturday the Aid-du-Camp of the Prince de Coburg, arrived here with the important intelligence, that the Turkish troops in Yassi had set fire to their own magazines in the neighbourhood of that town, which were contrived to subsist 10,000 men. The fire lasted for three hours, and could be discerned at a considerable distance.
The last letters from Constantinople make no mention of any declaration of war. It will probably be announced by hostilities only, and there is every reason to imagine that the war will not be terminated in one campaign.
The Turkish Divan received, on the 18th of December, by a Janissary dispatched from Belgrade, the first intelligence of the attempt made by the Austrian forces upon that fortress. It is not known in what manner the Pacha represented the affair, but the effect has been, that ever since the arrival of that dispatch, there are daily extraordinary assemblies of the Divan; a circumstance unknown before in the recollection of any person in Constantinople.
The French Ambassador is straining every nerve to effect a pacification. The moderation of the Divan, and the deliberation of their councils, give him hopes of succeeding in his mediating plan.
The army of Count Romanzow is to take the field in the mouth of March, about which time it is thought that some attempt will be made on Choczem, Bender, Oczakow, and Belgrade.
The Turks, in this last mentioned place are extremely alert. At night the works are illuminated by torches, and the sentries are practised in the European method of passing the word perpetually from one to another.
It is said, that the Emperor will, about the end of next week, set off to visit the frontier garrisons and the grand Cordon, which, at the present moment, is provided with no less than 215,000 men, and 2846 pieces of cannon.
By the accounts which have been published in Paris, of the population of that city for the year 1787, it appears there were 20,378 baptisms, 18,139 deaths, 5,912 infants found, 5,505 marriages, and 107 who took the veil, so that there were 2236 baptisms more than deaths.
Extract of a letter from Plymouth, to a gentleman in London, dated Feb. 9.
On the night of the 30th ult. a boat went on board his Majesty's ship Druid , from the Busy revenue cutter, with information, that they had seen a large smuggling lugger off the Ram-Head , and which they supposed meant to land her cargo in Cawfaw Bay ; but that they were afraid to go near her, on account of her being armed. In consequence of this, the Druid manned her twelve-oared boat, under the command of Mr. James Fegan the master, and on his getting down to the Bay, he perceived the lugger just coming in, and on her discovering the man of war's boat, she began a very smart fire upon it; regardless of which she rowed under the smuggler's guns, and immediately boarded her. After gaining the deck, a smart contest was maintained on both sides with great spirit and resolution for upwards of thirty minutes before the smugglers were conquered. During the action the smuggler cut their sheets haul-yards, rigging, and also the anchors from the bows, which caused the vessel to drive on shore near Causand , where it is since lost; but the cargo, consisting of 400 ankers of spirits, and about 2000 l. value in dry goods, is all lodged in the Custom-
house here. The lugger was reckoned the fastest sailer in England, was pierced for 16 guns, and had six mounted, together with four cohorns and 26 men, her name the Hind , commanded by the noted Carter (commonly called the King of Prussia ). Mr. Fegan had 16 men, one of whom was killed, and six wounded; the smuggler had five killed, seven wounded, and ten taken prisoners; the Captain though much wounded made his escape with the remainder of his men, when the vessel went on shore. Much credit is due to Mr. Fegan and the boat's crew for their spirited exertions."
It is a fact that Frederick William the Second, the new King of Prussia, has signified publicly his desire, that every one should understand that they had liberty to speak openly their sentiments upon the Government of the State; and consequently that the shackles which hitherto had restrained the press, should be destroyed. He reads all the public examination of new establishments.
Extract of a letter from Paris, dated January 18.
Last Friday, the day fixed for the verification of the edict concerning the Non Catholics, the Parliament assembled at the hour ordered; the Prince of Conde and some Peers came there in a much grander stile than usual, on account, without doubt, of the grand object which brought them together. The deliberation, as was expected, was very long and warm. Messrs Robert de St. Vincent, the Abbot de Coignieux, Epremenil, Ferrand, &c. made some very fine speeches. The registering of the edict, with the most extended exception of the word Non Catholics, was resolved on; but it was first decided that remonstrances should be made to the King, to represent to him that many articles of the edict are not admissible, and to beseech him to modify some others. It was half after eleven at night when this decision was resolved on; in consequence of which the Commissioners assembled at five o'clock on Saturday, to draw up these representations. We do not doubt but that the King will answer them in the session, and that the edict will be registered immediately.
The following are some slight alterations which are proposed to be made in the preamble of the edict:
"That the Catholic religion shall be the only public worship; that all offices of the Magistracy shall be prohibited to Non Catholics, and likewise public instruction; and that all the penal laws against Non Catholics be abrogated."
"Restitution of the confiscated effects in the King's hands."
"The article of baptisms to be modified, and the patronage suspended."
"The banns of marriage not to be published from the pulpit, and only fixed to the doors of churches."
"A dispensation of the Catholic religion for a number of arts and trades."
"Free liberty to the Non Catholics to be bankers and merchants."
"It seems most of these proposed alterations are rather in favor of the Non Catholics than against them, and that decision does infinite honor to the Court of Peers; and when it was announced that the registering of the edict was passed, the crowd which filled the halls applauded it with the most lively acclamations."
The King, last Thursday, answered those who came to ask him the day and hour when he would receive the deputation of the Parliament for the representations resolved upon in the Assembly last Wednesday, "that he would inform them of his intentions."
The Lord Hyde Packet, Capt. Jones, from New-York, in lat. 48 1-2, long. 20, spoke with the brig Wade , from Virginia to Whitehaven, laden with tobacco, &c. having lost her masts, bowsprit, and rudder, and two men washed overboard. Capt. Jones imagined, that soon after he left the brig the Captain and crew would be under the necessity of quitting her. He gave every assistance in his power to the Captain of the Wade , advised him and crew to leave the vessel, and take a passage to England with him in the Packet. But as the brig was then very light and making no water, the Captain resolved to remain on board.
Part of the Spanish fleet, with an immense treasure, is arrived at Cadiz; and advice is received of the rest being within a few days sail of that port. They are under the command of Don Salerno . This advice further says, that at the Havannah they are continuing to build men of war with the greatest alacrity.
We are happy to mention, that the treaty with Russia is in a fair train of being soon, and prosperously settled; on Tuesday evening last fresh advices were received which give the most flattering hopes relating to that subject. The particulars have not yet thoroughly transpired; but we are assured, that the Czarina has, of late, become much more pliable than she appeared to be some time ago; that the talks not in so high a tone of some articles in her first proposals, particularly that of the carrying
trade; and that there is every reason to expect, that the firmness of our Ministry, joined ultimately to a sense of her own true interest, will in a short time bring her to terms equally advantageous and honorable to this country.
A private letter from Constantinople mentions, that the city of Jerusalem had been visited lately by the plague, and that calamity followed by a scarcity of provisions. Besides these immediate and awful visitations from the Almighty, the incursions of the Empress of Russia upon the territories of the present Governors of Judea, operate as secondary causes of alarm to the afflicted inhabitants of the Holy City, for should the Empress, and her ally, the King of the Romans, prevail in the project to dispossess the Sultan of his dominions, Jerusalem and the Holy Land would certainly be laid at the feet of the Pope and their Confessors, and divided for inheritances to the Imperial Croats and the Crusaders of St. Petersburg.
S A V A N N A H, March 20. Extract of a letter from Col. James Maxwell, to Brigadier General Jackson, dated 16th March, 1788.
On the 16th inst. Capt. Stirling of this regiment, received intelligence of a party of Indians collecting stock over the river Alamacah, whereupon he ordered five picked horsemen, well mounted, to cross the river. They lay that night at the evacuated fort called Williams's, and on Saturday morning proceeded up the South side of the river, and at Phin Holloway creek found their trail, which they followed, and about two o'clock came up with them, twelve in number, with seventeen head of cattle and a drove of hogs. The white party immediately charged and drove the Indians for a considerable distance, until they gained a bay, where they resolutely faced about, and finding the small number of whites entered into a spirited action, which continued for some time, during which two of the Indians were killed; but the superiority of numbers obliged the white party to retreat, after losing one of their horses killed, another so wounded as to be of little service, one of the men wounded through the hand, and another slightly in the neck. I make no doubt but they will leave the stock and make off, as this is the first check they have had in this part.
The names of the five brave men who fought so superior a number, almost three to one, and who would certainly have destroyed the Indian party but for the swamp, are, Green, Harvey, King, Waggoner, and Corker; Green was slightly wounded in the neck, Harvey rendered unfit for action by a shot in the hand, King's horse was wounded, Waggoner's horse was killed on the spot, and his rifle choked almost the first fire, and Corker lost his only flint in the action, yet, with all those disadvantages, they made a safe and secure retreat. Waggoner, a poor man, lost his horse, bridle, saddle, and blanket. I hope his country will make him whole. Capt. Lewis, whose corps is very valuable, has scouted as far as the Ohoopie without finding a sign. Most of the settlers on the frontier have removed to their plantations. A white man was with the party, but kept aloof during the action."

Maxwell to present his warmest thanks to Green, Harvey, King, Waggoner and Corker, the five brave men of his regiment who so gallantly engaged so superior a number of Indians over the Alamacah on the 6th instant, and to assure them, he will make a point of acquainting his honor the Governor, and the honorable the Executive, of their conduct. He hopes their example will be followed by every party who are fortunate enough to fall in with our savage enemy.
JOHN LUCAS, Aid de Camp."
A U G U S T A, March 8. Our accounts from the Frontiers are truly distressing. The savages, who are very numerous on the other side of the Oconee, frequently cross over and commit theft and murder in the settlements on that river. Last week they killed a man near Williamfor's swamp, burnt three houses, and drove off a number of cattle.

N E W - Y O R K, April 15.
We learn from Philadelphia, that the following gentlemen, John Nicholson, Henry Drinker, Tench Coxe, Mark Wilcox and Tench Francis are appointed Commissioners by the Honorable the Executive Council of Pennsylvania, to open the roads from Easton and Bethlehem to the carrying place between the Delaware and Susquehanna, and to the mouth of Tioga, and that they have engaged Andrew Ellicott, Esquire, (late a Commissioner to run the New-York and Pennsylvania line) to lay out the same. The astronomical and mechanical knowledge, and the skill in surveying which that gentleman possesses, will probably render those roads as excellent as they are important.
We learn by a gentleman from Tarry Town, that some time last week near that place, a certain woman was delivered of two fine female children; and one of their milk cows had three calves; eleven ewes had each of them two lambs, which increased the family and flock in one week, to seven and twenty heads.
On Saturday arrived the brig Betsey , Meneard, from London; snow Union , —, Antigua; schooner Sally , Marschalk, St. Croix; sloop Industry , Denning, ditto; sloop Betsey , Martin, Antigua; sloop New-York Packet , Bailey, Philadelphia; and sloop Sally , Dunscomb, from Bermuda.

The FEDERAL TICKET. To the CITIZENS of NEW-YORK. A number of your Fellow Citizens deep- ly impressed with the importance of the crisis, and convinced that it is your and their interest to be represented at the present juncture, by men unequivocally attached to the establishment of a firm national Govern- ment, beg leave respectfully to recommend to your support and choice, the following persons as
Delegates to the Convention.  JOHN JAY,  RICHARD MORRIS,  ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON,  JOHN SLOSS HOBART,  JAMES DUANE,  ALEXANDER HAMILTON,  RICHARD HARRISON,  ISAAC ROOSEVELT,  NICHOLAS LOW. As Members of the Senate.  ISAAC ROOSEVELT,  EZRA L'HOMMEDIEU,  PAUL MICHEAU. As Members of the Assembly.  COMFORT SANDS,  WILLIAM GILBERT,  ALEXANDER M'COMB,  NICHOLAS HOFFMAN,  BROCKHOLST LIVINGSTON,  GULIAN VERPLANCK,  NICHOLAS LOW,  RICHARD HARRISON,  JOHN WATTS, Jun.
In the nomination of persons, to be de- puted to the Convention, no difficulty oc- curred. We flatter ourselves the characters proposed, will unite the suffrages of all those who sincerely have at heart, "That "which appears to be the greatest inte- "rest of every true American,—the conso- "lidation of our Union, in which is in- "volved, our prosperity, felicity, safety, "perhaps our national existence." In the determination on Members of the Senate and Assembly, some embarrassments have been experienced; the distance at which the Legislature are next to meet, calls for a sacrifice on the part of those who may be elected in this city and county, which few have it in their power to make. To fix upon persons qualified for the station, and possessed of the public confidence, who are at the same time in a situation to be able to serve, was a task of some difficulty: we shall be happy to find that you agree with us in opinion, that the persons now sub- mitted to your consideration, are worthy of your confidence and approbation.
Those who have in view the same object with ourselves, cannot but be sensible of the great importance of unanimity on the present occasion, and will consequently be on their guard against the artifices which already begin to be practised for the pur- pose of dividing them. In supporting the present nomination, let
ONE and ALL be our MOTTO. It is not only of consequence, that men of proper characters and sentiments should be chosen, but that the sense of the citizens should also appear in the choice. This will give weight to the exertions of your representatives, and manifest to the world, that no considerations of state influence and state interest, can induce the Patriotic and Independent Electors of this city, to betray the cause of the Union. By Order of the Meeting,  THOMAS RANDALL, Chairman. New-York, April 8, 1788.

SLENDER, WILL cover for the Season at Sans-Souci, Col White's seat, 6 miles from New-York on the East-River, at Ten Dollars, and a Dollar to the groom, the money to be paid before the mares are covered. Slender covered last season in Savannah, Georgia, at Twenty Guineas, but as his owner wishes to give an opportunity to those that are desirous of owning his colts, has advertised him at only Ten Dollars. Slender is a fine bay, 15 hands 3 inches & 1-2 high, his blood, make, activity, movements, strength and speed are superior to any horse ever imported from England. He was bred by the Duke of Queensberry, who took three prizes with him at New-Market, and one at Stockbridge, as appears by the sporting calendars of 1782 and 1783. Slender, when 3 years old, at New-Market, the second spring meeting, 1782, and at the July meeting following, took both prizes, and beat 25 of the best colts then in England, which are mentioned in the racing calendars as follows: Duke of Grafton's Peeres; Mr. Stevenson's Laurel; Mr. Vernon's Virgil; Mr. Pulney's Straight-leg; Sir John Lade's Maypole; Mr. Panton's bay colt got by Herod; Mr. Tattersall's bay colt got by Eclipse; Mr. Parker's chesnut colt got by Juniper; Duke of Northumberland's chesnut colt got by his Arabian; Lord Egremont's bay colt got by Herod; Lord Clermont's bay colt got by Mark Anthony; Lord Grosvenor's chesnut colt got by Sweetbriar; and Mr. Gollings's chesnut colt got by Sweetbriar, were the thirteen that run for the first prize. The twelve that started for the second prize with Slender were Lord Ossory's Coxcomb; Mr. Col. Ing. J. Gilliflower; His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland's Apollo; Lord Fitzgibbon's Countess; Mr. Pulney's Straight-leg; Duke of Grafton's Haring; Lord Clermont's Ceres; Mr. Peggot's Maypole; Mr. Vernon's chesnut gelding got by Eclipse; Sir Chas. Bunbury's bay colt got by Alexis; Lord Grosvenor's chesnut gelding got by Sweet William; Mr. Tattersall's bay colt got by Metaphysician. At New-Market, the first spring meeting 1783, Slender, at 4 years old, took the prize, and beat Lord Derby's Oliver Cromwell, Mr. Napier's Gimcrack, and Lord Grosvenor's Tacer; and at Stockbridge, the July following, he took the prize, and beat Mr. Delly's remarkable noted running horse Slasher. Slender is full brother to High-Flier, now thought one of the best horses in England. Slender was got by Herod, who was the sire of ninety-three running horses, in the years 1782 and 1783, 32 in number more than those got by the great Eclipse, that ran in the same years, and Herod's colts have generally been superior to Eclipse's whenever they appeared on the turf together, which is declared in the racing calendars. Slender's dam was got by Blank, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; Blank is full brother to the famous Old England, and got Paymaster, Paoli, Centinel, Cyclops, Ghost, Commodore Prag, Dizzy, Granby, Juniper, and Cyrus, all of which were noted running horses, and won prizes at New-Market. Slender's granddam was got by Regulus, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; Regulus is the sire of Miss Cleveland, who is the dam of that well known son of Old Snap, Taggery-gill; he is also the sire of Tandum's dam, who, when lame, beat Fame, Bridget, Wicham, and the Rocket gelding; the late Mr. Shafto refused 1800 guineas for Tandum, when he was rising five years old. Slender's granddam was also a daughter of Sore Heels, which mare was the dam of Matchless South, and Danbar Cade, a daughter of Makeless, and was Sir Ralph Milbank's famous black mare, the dam of Hartley's blind horse. Matchless was got by the Godolphin Arabian, and was judged superior to any horse ever bred in England, for size, strength, and beauty. Hartley's blind horse is too well known to all sportsmen, and is too often mentioned in the racing calendars to need a description. It is sufficient to say he got the dam of Bahram. Matchless was the sire of Sir Ralph Milbank's famous black mare, the dam of several high formed racers, and esteemed the best bred mare in England. Sore Heels was got by Baltho, the highest bred son of the Byerly Turk, and was own brother to Little Scar, and brother to the dam of Bay Mutt, Old Crab, Black Legs, Second and Snipe; his dam was got by the Carwin's Bay Barb, and was the dam of Old Partner, and full sister to Roxbury Galloway. Slender's pedigree is signed by the Duke of Queensberry, and attested by RICH. TATTERSALL.
NABOB, WILL cover Mares, for the season, at Sans Souci, at Four Dollars, and a half a Dollar to the Groom, the money to be paid before the Mares are covered. NABOB is a beautiful black, six years old, fifteen hands high;--he was got by Frederick, a full bred hunter, his dam by Figure, his granddam by Old Britain, his great dam by a Chickasaw horse, brought from the Nation; he is in perfect health--in full toned virility, possessed of instinct, and with all a generous spirit. The above horses may be seen at Sans Souci, six miles from New-York, with their original pedigrees, certificates, &c. &c. &c. The subscriber hereby notices all his creditors, that he shall prepare his petition to the General Assembly to be held at Hartford, in the State of Connecticut, on the second Thursday of May next, praying for exemption from all arrests for any debt he now owes, by his giving up all his estate for the benefit of his creditors.

MONTMORIN. THIS TOWN, laid out on the solicitation of several Gentlemen, is delightfully situated on the north bank of the Ohio river, on a beautiful plain that is not liable to be overflowed, in a healthy and fertile country, about 18 miles below Fort Pitt, on the road to Fort McIntosh, in Westmoreland county, in the State of Pennsylvania, and at the ancient settlement formerly called Logstown, which was abandoned previous to the peace of 1763, where an extensive trade was carried on many years. MONTMORIN commands an extensive view of the river; the soil is equal to any on the Ohio, and a boundless 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 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 emigration to the Western country renders it a very desirable spot, and afford a flourishing prospect of its speedy establishment. The three lots are spacious being all 66 feet wide; except Great George, Washington, Hancock and Clinton-streets, which are 90 feet; the squares are divided into 20 lots, from 44 9-17 feet front, and 220 feet in depth, and all the lots are accommodated with lanes. Five squares, or 100 lots, as distinguished in the plans, 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 or purchase. Those who buy ten town lots, will be entitled to a five acre outlot, 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 H. Hilt, Math. W. Clark, 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 Wilson, Mr. Thomas Bradford, and at the Coffee House, Philadelphia; Mr. John Defield, New-York; General Heister, Reading; John Habab, Esq. Lancaster; Mr. Heckenwelder, Bethlehem; Mr. Joseph Craig, Fort Pitt; and Colonel Stephen Bayard, Elizabeth-Town, Westmoreland County. ISAAC MELCHER. Philadelphia, Sept. 1, 1787.
EXTRACT. Page 10, to Colonel Bouquet's Expedition, 1764, Friday, Oct. 5. "In this day's march the army passed through Logstown, situated seven and a half miles forty-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 Delaware, 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, it was open to the wind, commanding a most agreeable prospect over the lower, and quite across the Ohio, which is about 500 yards wide here, and by its majestic calm 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 M c Kean, Gen. Muhlenberg, Geo. Morgan and Matthew Clark, Esqrs., or any other gentleman acquainted in the Western Country. 5th. tm. April 5.
