CONSTANTINOPLE, March 20. The first division of the Turkish fleet, consisting of 12 sail of the line, six packet boats, and 30 gun boats, failed from the port of this capital the 6th of this month, for the Black Sea; the second will soon follow; the third is destined for the use of the army.
V I E N N A, May 10. In the subsequent accounts received from Prince Lichtenstein of the late attempt to storm Dubian, he bestows great commendations on the bravery and ardor of the Austrian troops, declaring that had not Major General Schlum, on whom the command of that detachment devolved, upon Major General Klenau being wounded, been mortally wounded himself, he would certainly have forced his way into the town. In the general action, which followed this unsuccessful attempt, the Turks advanced so near the bayonets of the Austrians as to be able to reach them with their spears. Neither side seemed inclined to give way, till the arrival of Major Schurinstein, with a Squadron of the Kinsky Light-horse, when the Turks were totally routed.
The loss of the Austrians in these actions amounted to two Lieutenant Colonels, one Captain, 117 non commissioned officers and privates, and 67 horses, killed; and three Lieutenant Colonels, two Captains, four Lieutenants, 391 non commissioned officers and privates, and 67 horses, wounded. Ten privates were missing, and two pieces of cannon were taken by the Turks during the attack.
The loss of the Turks is computed at upwards of 920 men killed, and the Austrians took one Turkish standard.
Advices from Lieutenant General Fabricius, who commands the army in Transylvania, mention that on the 20th, 26th and 27th of April, several bodies of Turks, amounting together to 2500 men attacked different parties of the Austrian troops, posted in the neighborhood of Terzbourg; but finding they could gain no advantage, they retreated, leaving 46 men slightly wounded.
Frequent skirmishes also happen between the Austrian volunteers posted at Croaka, in the Banat, and the Turks, in one of which the former lately made 12 prisoners, and took a standard.
May 14. The letters from Semlin of the 7th instant, give no certain information of the Austrian army having passed the Save; nor has any account yet been received here of the siege of Belgrade having been commenced.
Four squadrons of the Waldeck dragoons marched from hence on the 6th instant to reinforce the army under the command of Prince Lichtenstein; and this morning one of the seven battalions of infantry, designed for the same army, also began its march.
P A R I S, May 19. The Chatelet, a court of justice of Paris, after sitting almost thirty-six hours, have unanimously agreed to the following arrest:
May 16, 1788. "The court, deeply affected on seeing repeated acts of authority against the different seats of magistracy of this kingdom, the seat of justice invested by armed troops, the liberty of suffrages wantonly violated by arresting and committing magistrates who could not be personally responsible for deliberations essentially distinct in themselves; magistracy itself debated, and all order overthrown, under a monarch who has declared that he never would reign but according to the tenor of the law, and whose beneficent intentions are the sure pledge of the happiness of his subjects; considering that the edicts and declarations reported by his Majesty's Attorney, have not been deliberated upon by parliament, who have a certain undoubted right, acknowledged by the monarch himself, to address their remonstrances to him (a right they cannot possibly make use of at present, on account of the forced suspension of their functions); the court declare unanimously that they cannot, and ought not to proceed to the reading, publishing and registering the said edicts, declarations and orders." They allude to the arrest in the late Bed of Justice.
The King's officers of justice, after having perused the above arrest, having adhered to the contents of it,
Some deputies were sent to Versailles from the Parliament of Brittany, with remonstrances, &c. and they received the following answer from his Majesty:
"I will not withdraw my edicts, the law being general for the kingdom. If some objects should be found contrary to the rights, franchises, and liberties of the Provinces, I will receive the representations of the States of Brittany, and pay proper regard to those that shall appear well founded to me. If the number of forty-eight judges is not sufficient, it may be increased. All new imposts that shall be registered by my Plenary Court, shall not be levied in Brittany, without the previous assent of the States, and the lawful registering of the Parliament. All laws regarding particularly the Province of Brittany, shall be registered by its own Parliament as heretofore."
L O N D O N, May 10-27. We are sorry to hear, that in consequence of the late principal failures, there were no less than the names and firms of 37 houses handed about on Saturday night last, that must unavoidably follow them, if not immediately relieved.
MAY 27. In Bretagne a measure of exemplary spirit has been almost unanimously taken. The Noblesse have made a solemn resolution, that any person of that province who shall accept of any office in the Cour Pleniére, as devised by the King, shall be for ever infamous and incapable of holding any office, or enjoying any privilege of rank to which he might otherwise be entitled in that great province.
At Besançon an incident happened, which touched the sensibility of the citizens, and confirmed their resolution more than the most tumultuous uproar could have done. M. le Count de St. Vaux, the Commandant, went to the assembly, who were met to oppose the Registry of the Edict, while the House was surrounded by an indignant people. He went in this scene without guards, without assistance of any kind, and having ordered the King's arrest to be read, he burst into tears, and left the assembly.
Every province of France, and every court concur in the opposition. Even the Chatelet protested against the orders, and the Edict was registered by force.
The consequence of this begins to manifest itself. We have good authority for saying that a negotiation is actually begun between the court and the leaders of the opposition, to give to France what it always claimed, but never truly enjoyed, an independent Representation in the Cour Pleniére. The outline of the plan has transpired, and its aspect is good, though undoubtedly like all other compacts, where the strength of the parties is not equal, it is defective in reciprocity. According to this scheme, the House of Representatives would consist of about 200, and it would be composed of
The Princes of the Blood Royal, } Of eight. The Duke and Peers, Le Ministre Principal, in virtue of office. — de affairs étrangères, ditto. — de la Maison du Roi, ditto. — de la Guerre, ditto. — de la Marine, ditto. Controleur Général, ditto. Garde des Sceaux, ditto. Grand Chamberlain, ditto, — Ecuyer, ditto. — Maître de la Maison du Roi, ditto. The 18 Archbishops to choose four of the body to represent them. The 118 Bishops to choose ten. The Marechals to choose four. The Knights de St. Esprit to choose eight. The Provincial Assemblies each two members. — Parliament each, two. The Conseillers d'Etat d'Epée, in all two. — de Rope, two. Maîtres des Requetes, four.
The Parisian Ordinance, on the administration of Public Justice, pronounced by Monsieur le Garde-des-Sceaux, consisted of sixty one articles. At Dijon a protest has been entered against all the late proceedings of the French King.
On the 9th inst. for the first time, the Court Pleinière was held by his Majesty at Paris.
The Parliament that were banished to Liburne, have protested very vehemently against the French King's proceedings.
The letters addressed to the French King, by the different Peers of France, mention his late proceedings, "as a total subversion of the established Constitution!"
The two great commercial houses, whose stoppages has occasioned so much distress in the capital and elsewhere, have, after a laborious application to the state of their respective concerns, settled matters in the following manner: one of them offers 15s. in the pound, at stated periods, which it is thought, the creditors will not hesitate to accept, rather than take out a statute of bankruptcy; to the other, the creditors have agreed to grant a letter of licence for two years, it appearing upon minute investigation that there is a considerable surplus in their favor.
Saturday arrived the mail from Holland, by which we learn, that Duke Louis of Brunswick died suddenly on the 12th of this month, at his palace at Eylenbach, in the 70th year of his age; and that the disturbances still continue at Bretagne to such a degree, that the Bishop of Rennes arrived himself in the night of the 8th, express at Versailles, to communicate the news to his Most Christian Majesty. The good Bishop had travelled with such expedition, that he had performed the journey from Rennes on horseback in thirty hours.
D U B L I N, May 28. When the edict of Nantz was revoked by the Court of Versailles during the last century, near two millions of the inhabitants quitted their native country, on account of the arbitrary and intolerant measures that had been pursued. Should the French be now reduced to a state of slavery, and deprived of all their constitutional rights and privileges, by their monarch, and every vestige of their ancient free mode of government entirely done away, the most liberal and noble minded among them, will in like manner, quit a land of gloomy despotism, and enjoy the immunity of citizens in some other country.
A correspondent on whose authority we can depend, finds a singular pleasure in recommending a remedy always at hand, for the extirpation of poison taken into the human body, or a bite of a mad dog. It is only common WRITING INK , which a short time since M. Toussaint Navier, the King's Physician at Versailles, discovered, that mixed with soap and water, taken inwardly, or rubbed on the outward wound of the bite, did not, in any instance where tried, fail to effect a cure.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, July 23. Serious apprehensions, says a correspondent, have begun to take place in the minds of many of the friends of the federal government, at the great delay in putting the new government in motion, and fixing the time, &c. of commencing proceedings under its authorities. This circumstance is more alarming, as it appears that on the 2d July Congress appointed a committee to report an act for that purpose, and notwithstanding the recommendation of the convention, that as soon as Nine States had assented, an efficient league should be formed betwixt them, yet we find some obstacle prevents the operation of the intended arrangements, and the federalists throughout the Union are kept in a state of anxious suspense.—But a point of most essential consequence to attend to, is, that there are many hundred families, we are told, in different parts of Europe, who are now waiting with much impatience to hear of measures being taken to assemble the states under the operation of this government, in order to embark for this country, and their correspondents are desirous of imparting the important intelligence.
The unreasonable attachment which some men have shewed to the old confederation, and to our crude extempore state governments, reminds one of our correspondents of a story of a clergyman in London, who having combated a new opinion in religion unsuccessfully, concluded his sermon with the following words, "I tell you—I tell you—I tell you, my brethren—that an old error is much better than a new truth."
NEW-YORK, July 26.
From Poughkeepsie we learn, that on a motion made in the Convention whether any conditional amendments should be annexed to the ratification of the Constitution, it was determined in the negative by a majority of two. Ayes 29, Noes 31.
Yesterday arrived the ship George, Bondinot, in twenty-five days from Madeira;
Snow Valkin, Potter, from Port-au-Prince, in sixteen days; and
Sloop Paragon, Trimingham, in twenty-three days from Antigua.
At the anniversary of the Commencement, at the university of Cambridge, (Mass.) on Wednesday the 16th instant, the President having informed his Excellency the Governor, that the exhibitions of the forenoon were finished, his Excellency was pleased to make the following elegant address to the President:
Rev. and learned Sir, I CANNOT refrain expressing the high satisfaction and excited delight I possess on the present occasion.
The evidence of genius and learning this day exhibited by the young gentlemen who are now proceeding from hence into the world, under the great and well improved advantages of an university education, irresistibly carries my hope and best wishes with them. I anticipate with great pleasure those future years, which will present them highly ranked among the ornaments and supports of their country.
When we contemplate the pious and patriotic origin, as well as the vast advantage of this College—when we see the sons of Harvard, with those who have mediately drawn measures of useful
State, erecting and supporting a new, prosperous and powerful confederated Republic—improving the wealth and guiding the force of nations—when we see them respected in palaces abroad, and triumphing over cruel invaders at home—when we see, by the learning here acquired, religion stripped of that delusive and dangerous garb, which ignorance and superstition had wrapt her in; and exhibited, in that simple and unaffected dress, in which alone she can honor the Deity, and bless mankind—we cannot but deeply revere our ancestors, and rejoice in the fair inheritance they have transmitted us.
I am obliged, on this happy occasion, to indulge myself to be carried on the wings of imagination, to the time fast approaching, when such attention will be paid to this seminary, that new Colleges will be here erected—the useful professorships encouraged, and sufficiently endowed, while the domes shall be thronged by youths, thirst for science, and our country enriched by profound erudition, be acknowledged by the world as a principal seat of the muses.
From your learning and known ability, respectable Sir, your fellow citizens have formed the most sanguine expectations, that while you hold the station you now fill with so much dignity, you will annually send forth men formed to guide the cabinet, direct the arms, and extend the commerce of their country; and those also who, by their precepts and example, will honor our holy religion, and lay a foundation for the practice of the purest morals and patriotism, and thus perpetually transmit public and private happiness from one generation to another.
Artificial Noses not to be relied on. A CERTAIN inhabitant of Brussels, in a combat, had his Nose mowed off; whereupon he addressed himself to a very curious and celebrated Surgeon, residing at Bononia, to provide him a new one if possible; and, for a reward agreed upon, a new Nose was cut out of a Porter's arm—About thirteen months after his return to his own country, on a sudden, the ingrained Nose grew cold, petrified, and within a few days dropt off—Those of his friends who were curious in the exploration of the cause of this misfortune, discovered that the said Porter died about the same instant the Nose grew frigid.
From the NORWICH PACKET, of July 3d. LAST week arrived at Fisher's Island, the brig Nancy belonging to this port, Capt. Robert W——, (a half pay British officer) master, and landed his cargo, consisting 140 CONVICTS taken out of the British gaols—Captain W. it is said received £. 5. sterling a head from government for this job; and we hear he is distributing them about the country.—Stand to it houses, stores, &c.—these gentry are acquainted with the business.—Quere, whether a suit of T— and F— should not be provided for Captain W. as a suitable compliment for this piece of service done his country. New-London, June 30, 1788. CENTINEL.
MR. CHILDS, As Mr. Greenleaf's paper has but a very partial circulation in this city, you are requested to publish the following decent account of the Procession, which appeared in his paper of Thursday, and his mortified apology of this day, for the information of the citizens at large.—His errors and blunders you will give us verbatim—and let him know that he is in a fair way for correction, and that the potters may yet have power over his clay, which it is hoped will produce some amendments. A MECHANIC. July 25.
N E W - Y O R K, July 24. YESTERDAY the GRAND PROCESSION "in honor of the Constitution of the United States," paraded to and fro, and walked up and down, in this city, to the novel entertainment of all classes of people. The procession made a very pompous appearance, and was conducted in a regular and decent manner. It paraded at eight o'clock, A. M. in the fields; at ten a salute of 13 guns was fired from the procession ship, when it began to move down Broadway, and proceeded through Great Dock-street, Hanover-square, Queen, Chatham, Arundel and Bullock streets, to the parade des fetes champetres, where two bullocks and a mutton had been roasted whole, for their regale, together with hams, &c. &c. These were served upon ten extensive tables, which were prepared for the purpose, and which projected, in direct angles, from one common centre, where was situated, a little elevated, the seat of Congress, and civil and legislative magistrates, strangers of distinction, &c. who had a complete view of the ten seats; the seats were all canopyed with canvas, which, in some measure, screened the guests from the rain which unluckily fell at different periods of the day.
We do not attempt to give an ample account of the proceedings of this day, which, it is not doubted, will be presented the public by the gentlemen who composed the committee of arrangements; if so, and nothing of greater moment intervenes to fill the New-York Journal, before next Thursday, it (or a part, as the quantity may be) shall be published in that paper.
What added greatly to the beauty of this parade, was the ship Hamilton, the emblematical flags, and the flags—The ship made a fine appearance, sailing with flowing sheets, and full sails, down Broadway, the convais waves, dashing against her sides, the wheels of the carriage concealed. Some of the flags were well executed, and others (it is supposed through haste) as badly; and the designs were generally ingenious. The flags were of various sizes, and mostly very slight, inasmuch that the poor Potters were separated from their clay, and no longer had power over it; the stage fell! and, alas! the clay became exposed to the power of every passer-by.
It was really laughable to see the variety of phizzes on this occasion. The poor antis generally minded their own business at home; others, who were spectators at an unful distance, looked as sour as the Devil. As for the feis they rejoiced in different degrees—there was the ha, ha, ha! and the he, he!
When the Procession passed Great Dock-street, it was saluted by his most Catholic Majesty's packet; this compliment the ship in Procession attempted to return, but unfortunately, on firing five guns, the gunner was seized by a fit, which obliged the commander to apologize to the commander of the packet: it is said, that this apology was politely received.
As it redounds much to the credit of the citizens, as well as to the honor of the conductors of the day, it ought to be remarked, that there was not the least outrage, or even indecency offered to any individual, notwithstanding 6 or 7000 people (as supposed, spectators included) had collected, and that the whole company was dismissed at half after five o'clock.
In the evening a very ingenious transparent piece of painting, representing general WASHINGTON, to the life, was exhibited by Mr. Wright, in Maiden-lane, which attracted the attention and admiration of many citizens, particularly the fair.
There was also exhibited, at the corner of Wall-street, enclosed in a circle of about two feet in diameter, thirteen stars, ten of which were brilliant: one (designed for New-York) half illumina-
ted; and two almost obscure, with the initials of North-Carolina, and Rhode-Island.
We are informed, that the honorable the C-gress and gentlemen of the clergy, declined walk king at the procession, on account of this not being a ratifying state; they however accepted a seat at the table.
RECENT ANECDOTE. A gentleman, who was present at the fall of the federal ship, when she was launched, in which fall the bigend , and the right arm of Col. Hamilton (the head of the ship) holding the constitution, broken off, exclaimed, with some humour, "gentlemen, there is certainly room for amendments." July 25.
Mortified that any exceptions should be taken to the paragraphs in yesterday's paper, the editor is induced to assure his fellow-citizens, that by inserting of them he had not the least idea of giving offence or injuring the feelings of any one. As a vein of innocent humor is frequently interspersed in news-papers, he expected, where it flowed naturally, as in the case of the Potters clay, &c. it would be received as innocent, and, as not intended to reflect or censure.

The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK ARE respectfully informed, that the Subscribers are opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, at No. 21, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Rivington's. He trusts he will be able to give general satisfaction to those who may please to employ him, (signified by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join unremitted assiduity to the pain laid down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encouragement of the inhabitants of this city. 1st. To provide a set of Sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, New Chimney Office, No. 21, Wall-street, to see the business performed. 2d. To allot each a proper district, in such manner, as that every subscriber's chimney shall be regularly swept once every month, (or oftener if required) at the rate of one shilling and three pence, for every chimney. 3d. To oblige himself to pay the fine laid by law, if the chimney takes fire within one month after it has been swept, by the people belonging to this office, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house. 4th. To render the establishment of general public utility, in case of fire, the Sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them. The undertaking merits the greater attention, as it will contribute in a particular manner, to render lives secure, and prevent the destruction of property, by conflagration, which so frequently originates in foul chimneys, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of Sweepers attending at regular periods, and in others, not knowing where to apply. Subscribers will be thankfully received at the aforesaid place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf STEPHEN PATERSON.
