L O N D O N, March 1. It is pretended, that the States of Holland and West-Friesland have resolved to wake all the corps of armed citizens, tradesmen, and other inhabitants, take the oath for the preservation and support of the established Constitution, and the hereditary Stadtholdership in the house of Orange and Nassau, with all the dignities and prerogatives annexed to it.  Extract of a letter from Bourdeaux, Feb. 18. "The public discontents in this city do by no means decline; nor are they likely to be settled till the affairs of the parliament are put upon what we now conceive to be a constitutional footing. The rage of absolute monarchy is rapidly declining; and, though a Frenchman will probably never lose his favorite maxim of Vive le Roi , yet we begin to conceive that slavery is a badge too galling for any but the most abject of the human species."
March 2. By the Dutch Mail, which arrived last night, we have received accounts, that several skirmishes had already happened between the advanced parties of the Austrians and Turks; that the treaty of alliance between the King of Prussia and the Stadtholder had been approved by the seven provinces; and that a report prevailed at Vienna, of the Imperial Minister at Constantinople being sent to the prison of the Seven Towers.
The political hemisphere at present is extremely clouded: — The Empress preparing a large fleet for the Mediterranean — The Spaniards in equal preparation to watch the motions of the Russian fleet, or to oppose it. The French inclined to assist the Turks, and Great Britain compelled to provide for the protection of Gibraltar. The language of the Admiralty is, that we shall have an equipment of six or seven sail of the line, very early in the spring.
A genuine and circumstantial Account of the Death of General MATTHEWS.
General Matthews died on the 7th of September, 1783; and, at the time he departed this life, he was in irons. He had not changed his linen for 20 days, on account of his knowing that the Keeladar had mixed poison in the victuals he daily sent him. It appeared, indeed, from the treatment that the General had at first met with, that Tippoo meant to use unfair means with him. Had he intended to use him agreeable to his rank, he ought to have allowed his staff to accompany him during his confinement; but so far from that, that he first broke a solemn treaty with the General and his Officers. The General was then separated from the whole of his captive army, put under a strong guard, thrown into a filthy Dungeon; his baggage, cot, and every thing of the smallest consequence taken from him; his servants removed, and he himself thrown into heavy irons; and at last, to put a finishing stroke to the horrid scene, was dispatched by poison.
The General, when he learnt from a combination of suspicious circumstances, as well as hints let fall from those that were about his person, that it was the Sultan's intention to cut him off by poison, refused to taste of the victuals that was sent to him, at stated times from the Keeladar's. Some of the guards, and even the servants who carried the poisoned victuals, took compassion on the General, and gave him now and then a little of their's.
The Havalder, who had the charge of the General, connived at these acts of humanity at first, and manifested symptoms of uneasiness and dissatisfaction with the part assigned to him in the scene going forward. But this officer, when it was found that General Matthews still protracted his miserable existence, was sent for by the Keeladar, who told him that the General's life, if much longer continued, must be paid for by the Havalder's death. Upon this the Havalder communicated his orders, with the threats that accompanied them, to his unfortunate prisoner, who had now no other alternative than that of perishing by famine or by poison. The anxious love of life maintained, for several days, a struggle with the importunate calls of furious hunger. These however, prevailed in the issue of the contest. He eat of poisoned food, and he drank too, whether to quench the rage of inflamed thirst, or to drown the torments of his soul in utter insensibility of the poisoned cup. — Within six hours after this fatal repast he was found dead.
This is a faithful and true account of the death of Lieut. Gen. Matthews, which has been set forth in various ways. The manner in which these particulars were brought to light was this: — The death of the General being reported to the Keeladar, it was mentioned, on that occasion, that a brass button was found in his prison, with some writing on it; which must have been done with a fork he had with him. This was brought to the Keeladar, read and interpreted by an European, who had engaged in the Sultan's service.
PHILADELPHIA, April 21. We learn that a dignified and Honorable J — of this commonwealth will shortly hold a special court, for the purpose of trying about 60 or 70 members of the Maryland Convention, on a charge of Conspiracy against render laws, against the Shayites, against the present administration of R — e Island, and against all the evils which lately threatened the honor and happiness of the United States. By the last vessels from Charleston was received the ticket for that place, containing the names of 32 gentlemen proposed to be elected members of the State Convention. Among them are members of the Federal Convention, members of the Assembly, several of their Governors, Speakers of Assembly, and private gentlemen of much worth, and friendly to the proposed Constitution. Things were the most promising appearance in that patriotic and important state.
NEW-YORK, April 30.
We are requested to notify the Electors of the East Ward, that the Poll stands open at the house of Mr. Rattoo, Fly-Market.
Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, dated April 28, received by last post.
"A gentleman in this city has received a letter from Baltimore, dated the 24th instant, from which the following is an extract: —"
"Our Convention has met at Annapolis. The Antifederalists wished to debate the New Constitution by paragraphs, but the Federalists declared off (lay 58 against 37); and to-morrow we expect to hear of its being ratified without a dissenting voice, except 8 or 10."
"So you see Luther will have no chance of giving any more genuine information."
Extract of a letter from Baltimore, dated April 23.
"The Constitution will be adopted by a majority of 5 to 1. It is in agitation to have an illumination on Saturday next, before which time it will be ratified, and I shall with the greatest pleasure light my candles on the occasion."
The Sally, Wallace, from Havre-de-Grace, is arrived at Annapolis.
The brig Eleanor, Capt. Jamieson, which arrived at Cork the 8th Jan. from Baltimore, on the 6th, off the Old Head of Kinsale, spoke the brig Catherine, Capt. Roxbury, from New-York, bound for Clyde, out six weeks, in very great distress, having lost her boats, sails, main-mast, and some of her hands. Part of her cargo was thrown overboard, and by the course she was at that time steering, it is thought she might be for Milford, or some port in the Irish Channel. It then blowed a hard gale at North.
A letter, dated Whitehaven, Feb. 4, 1788, says, "We have had very melancholy accounts from all quarters, of the loss of shipping this winter, and yet have had what may be called a mild winter. It is said that not less than 16 vessels, belonging to this and the neighboring ports, have been wrecked or entirely lost in the course of the last month. The Brayton, Harrison, is arrived at Cork, having lost her masts, bowsprit, and every thing off the deck (the two bower anchors excepted) and one man. The —, Borrowdale, arrived at Liverpool about the same time, with the loss of either one or both masts; but an account which came to hand a few days ago, of the Wade, Capt. James Grayson, loaded by Messrs. Robinson, Sanderfon and Rumney, of Alexandria, for this port, demands a particular recital: In long. 30, a sea struck her, and carried away every article that was above the level of the deck, and also her rudder, bowsprit, &c. with two men; and what still adds, not only to the horror of the situation, but strikes with the utmost surprize, was the loss of one of her lead pumps; how this could be effected appears almost beyond conception. In this forlorn condition they remained 18 days, when chance very happily threw them in the way of the Potowmack Planter, from George-town, from which ship they procured spars, &c. for jury masts, and by whom Captain Grayson writes home the melancholy account; when they fell in with this ship they had drifted till long. 18, and two days after they fell in with the New-York Packer, from whom they got some further assistance, being then in long. 16." In another letter, Feb. 7, from Whitehaven, from the same, "No news has yet reached here of the Wade, so it is much to be feared, should not a few posts bring intelligence of her, that she has been beat to the Northward, as the winds have prevailed from the South-East quarter, and often blown hard."
For the DAILY ADVERTISER. Mr. PRINTER, I FIND, after an interval of four days, an impotent sprout of nature, has invited
himself to a few remarks or criticisms upon a late, or, as he has been pleased to style it, singular production, which appeared in your Daily Advertiser of the 23d inst. Our wonder, at this gentleman's imbecility will cease, when we come to examine his signature: a solution of Gum Arabic, has certainly been his constant diet for some considerable length of time, or he would not have appeared in this debilitated shape. The whole of his emphasis wears the countenance of enervation in the highest degree; and a constant repetition of the person's observations, whose production he endeavors to expose, constitutes by far the greatest part of his splenetic piece. So much so, that whoever peruses it, cannot fail of pronouncing it a complicated incoherent mass. The first thing that invites his animadversions, is, a reiterated stress on the word procataretic , the propriety of which is very apparent, and implies previous or antecedent: it does not please the author; why? because it is of Greek origin, therefore a very foreign word, and one, whose etymology is abstruse, and articulation difficult. I hope the uttering of it has not caused a division of his lower jaw; if so, and he will permit me, my charity shall extend so far, by transmitting him a contribution, most excellently adapted to the purpose of bringing about safely, and without the smallest degree of pain, a coaptation. For certainly, the separation of a part so essential to the organ of voice, must prove a great impediment to the expectations he had formed of entertaining his friends with the elegance of his sarcasms, and the beauties of his satirical observations; in extolling their propriety, and the justice of his criticisms. It must be admitted, that the deprivation of his right hand, would be attended with more serious consequences, (provided he makes use of it in this contingency) as he would thereby be rendered incapable of exhibiting to public view, any more of his sublime compositions, the nature of which will, no doubt, have a tendency to the improvement of mankind. Mr. Arabic, for so I shall with humility speak of him, calls me a young physical Tyro; and charges me with bearing a personal enmity against our immortal Esculapian professor, who, I suppose, is ready at hand to administer him consolation in his arduous undertaking; and tells me moreover, I harbour a prejudice against him, caught from my betters. Who can these betters be? This will cause a little cogitation. Oh! he alludes to the gentlemen on the other side of the Atlantic, whose tuition he knows me to have been under. He certainly cannot suppose himself to be my superior; if his self-importance should influence him to form too great an opinion of his abilities, and thereby induce him to place himself in competition with me, he must certainly be totally ignorant of my signature; for I can assure you, Mr. Printer, I do not even acknowledge the professor for himself to be my superior in any point of view. This altercation, Sir, will be a means of convincing the world, how far he stands above me: he may out-reach me, be able perhaps to extend his upper extremities to a greater height. In another part of his jargon, he advises me, as a young Logical Bolus, if I wish to allay the volatility of the people, or promote scientific erudition, "that I do not any farther traduce the character of a gentleman, who is too much my superior to take notice of my spleen." In the first place, the observation is applicable; of its being impossible to traduce from that, it never was possessed of. Secondly, the word spleen, is a very bad one, and which I most earnestly solicit a demonstration of, from our infallible author. The definition given to it as a word, by the first etymologists, is spite, anger, hip, melancholy; all these my heroic antagonist seems to have a sufficient quantity of. The anatomical definition of the above word, signifies a gland, situated in the left hypochondrium; whose use, as an appendage of the human body, I am not acquainted with; it conveys a defniment, repugnant to that given to it by the compilers of English dictionaries, which I hope to have accurately described in your next. You have, if we may believe your own account, a most excellent aid to assist you. Celsus himself, whose motto was, morulos secando, vivos sanare docemur , could not be a better. We are told by anatomists of the first observation, that the spleen, or milt, has an artery and a nerve going to it, a vein and absorbents coming from it; but what its utility is, as an abdominal viscous, say they, we are not able to inform you. Now, probably, as our anatomical professor has been so recently versant with a number of minute anatomical investigations, he will be able to afford me, and the surgical world, many new ideas, respecting the use of this said gland, denominated milt, or spleen. If you do, most learned senior, I shall be infinitely obliged to you, and board them up, as the most valuable acquisition to the profession, of which you are so conspicuous a member. Procataretic to my taking leave altogether of this interesting subject, I will endeavor
to shew, how far my exertions will tend to induce my readers, to suppose me to be neither a little boy, nor a great blockhead. April 29.

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 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 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 20 lots, from 44 to 47 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 vetted in rupees 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 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 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 Delafeld, New-York; General Heister, Reading; John Hubley, Esq. Lancaster; Mr. Heckenvelter, 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."
