Vicena, Feb. 27. Letters of the 19th inst. from the Imperial army in Croatia, mention that after having taken the fort of Drenick the troops were stationed on Korona, near the fort, with their right wing extended to the foot of the mountains Plislim 21, by which means the roads and passes to Bihach are opened.
That during the attack of Drenick a detachment was sent to summon the Turks to surrender. They invited the Commanding Officer to approach within fifty paces on parole, when they made so brisk a fire on the detachment as to kill fifty men, which so enraged the Imperials, that they put the whole Turkish garrison to death.
That the imperial troops had made an unsuccessful attempt on Dubitza, in which they suffered a loss of eighty-two killed, 349 wounded.
The emigrations of Turkish families into the Austrian territories, with their cattle and effects, were very frequent; and the Turkish troops had endeavored in vain to prevent them.
By advice from Slavonia of the 11th inst. it appears that 130 boats belonging to the Turks had been taken or sunk in the Sava.
L O N D O N, March 19-27. On the 19th of Feb. the sixth day of the proceeding of the trial of Mr. Hastings, Mr. Burke finished his scene of the corruptions in India, and depicted the horrid cruelties exercised upon the inhabitants by means of Gombal Sing, and Devi Sing, his agent. The cruelties and tortures he described, and the desolation which followed, in such glowing colors, that the whole court were filled with horror and astonishment.
Mr. Burke, in recapitulating the heads of the charges, the terms which are infinitely too strong for publication in this stage of the impeachment, made a solemn appeal to the House, of which the following is a faint idea:
There let it be judged in this august assembly, the Heir apparent to the Crown, with Princes of the Royal blood, who are dear to their country, and whose honor is their country's best treasure. The hereditary Nobles of the land, who as they inherit the virtues of their ancestors will consequently feel an anxiety to transmit them to their posterity. The Rev. Prelates, in whose hands are entrusted the dispensations of the Gospel, that sacred word, on which we all rely for our real happiness, they will not violate a trust committed to them by the Father of mercies. And lastly, the heads of the Law, who are ennobled for their superior knowledge, they will no doubt see, that the law is justly and impartially administered. To all these orders of nobility, in the name of the Commons of England; in the name of all the subjects of the empire; in the sacred name of humanity; and in virtue of the eternal laws of justice, I make by appeal and impeachment against Warren Hastings, Esq. I impeach him of cruelty and oppression. I impeach him of deviating from the duties imposed on him by a solemn oath—I impeach him of a breach of faith in almost every engagement he entered into—I impeach him of receiving bribes, which he turned to corrupt and oppressive purposes—I impeach him of betraying his trust.
Mr. Burke was nearly exhausted on his sitting down. The time of speaking was one hour and forty minutes.
Among the curious bets of the day, may be reckoned the following:—The Duke of Bedford has betted 1000 guineas with Lord Barrymore, that he does not eat a live Cat! It is said his Lordship grounds his chance upon having already made the experiment upon a Kitcat. The Cat is to be fed as Lord Barrymore may chuse.
CAT-EATING.
THERE has been some conversation lately on the subject of Eating a Cat, and which has been the occasion of the bet between two Noblemen—the Duke of Bedford, and Lord Barrymore. We beg leave to mention a thing of which happened eleven years ago, in Yorkshire. For a bet of five pounds, a Shepherd was produced, who was to devour whole, a living Cat;—the one produced, was a large black Tom Cat, which had not been fed for the purpose; but was chosen, as being the largest in that neighbourhood; the day appointed, was the Fair-day at Beverly;—the parties met;—the man produced, was a rawboned fellow, about forty;—the Cat was then given to him, on which he took hold of his fore legs with one hand, and closing his mouth with the other, he killed him by biting his head to pieces immediately, and in less than a quarter of an hour, devoured every part of the Cat, tail, legs, claws, bones, and every thing. The man who laid the wager gave the fellow two guineas for doing it—and the Shepherd appeared perfectly satisfied with the reward. After he had done it, he walked about the Fair the whole afternoon and appeared neither sick nor sorry. He took no emet-
ic—not had this repast any effect upon him whatever.
C O L O R K, March 20.
Some particulars of the horrid murder lately committed at Tallow, in the County of Waterford:—
A woman in labor sent for her gossip, who on coming, instead of affording relief, took out a knife, and declared with dreadful imprecations if she did not immediately confess where her money (which she had to pay her landlord) lay, she would immediately disencumber her of the cause of her illness, by ripping her open, and severing her head from her body. The poor woman, being naturally terrified, delivered her a key, and told her that all the money that she was possessed of lay in the opposite chest; but no sooner did she stoop down into the chest to search for the cash, than the sick woman (tho' in a painful delirium) hoisted her bodily into the chest, and having locked the same, sent out her child, a boy about seven years of age, to alarm some distant neighbours; but unfortunately the first he met with was the husband of the woman in the chest, to whom the child related the matter. The husband, who, as is supposed, was coming to assist his wife in the robbery, took up the boy in his arms, advanced to the door, and demanded entrance; but the sick woman knowing his voice, refused; whereupon he swore he would murder the boy, which he did, by curving his throat across with a knife, and then threw him over an adjacent hedge. The insatiable delinquent, anxious to liberate his wife and accomplish the robbery, got on the top of the house and endeavored to go down the chimney, but was prevented by the smoke and blaze of some straw which was burning below. Luckily a gentleman and his servant passing by, seeing the man on the top of the house, and the smoke issuing, imagined it was on fire, but hearing the shrieks of the woman, and the reason, secured the fellow.
W I N C H E S T E R, April 23.
From the number of families which have passed thro' this town for Kentucky, since the opening of the Spring, we may venture to predict, that the emigrations to that country in the year 1788, will exceed those of any former year.
A L E X A N D R I A, April 29.
A few days since a Schooner arrived here from Halifax, with a number of families, some of whom had been settled there for upwards of 20 years.—They complain that the insults of the refugees, joined with the poverty of the country, were insupportable.
N E W - Y O R K, May 12.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New-Orleans, to his friend in Philadelphia, dated 25th March, 1788.
"The misery of this place I shall not undertake to describe; suffice it to tell you, that New-Orleans, which consisted of 1000 houses, was on Friday last, in the space of five hours, reduced by conflagration to 200. The rapid progress of the fire was such, that but little merchandise, household furniture, or cloathing have been saved."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Greenock, dated Feb. 18, 1788, to his friend in Philadelphia.
"I am certainly informed, that some of your neighbours in Philadelphia, have advised Lord Sydney, in London, that you are promoting a cotton manufactory in Philadelphia, and that you had given orders to your correspondents in this country, to send out tradesmen and utensils for that purpose, by the ship Alexandria. Lord Sydney has wrote to Provost Riddle, in Glasgow, and Provost Riddle has wrote to his correspondents in Greenock, respecting the above. This is a serious matter, which I do not believe, and it would be attended with very dangerous consequences to have any hand in sending out manufacturers from this country."
Extract of a letter from St. John's, Antigua, dated April 4, 1788.
"Yesterday morning about four o'clock, the inhabitants of this island, were alarmed with a very smart shock of an earthquake."
London newspapers of a recent date, speaking of Warren Hastings, Esq. mention, that six waggons load of papers, relative to his trial, would be conveyed from the India-house to Westminster-hall, in the course of a few days.
Arrived at this Port. Brig Hero, Cof-fin, from St. Croix; sloop Sally, Lacy, Shelburne; sloop Sally, Bidder, Halifax; Schooner New-York Packet, Barnard, Boston.

From the Virginia Independent Chronicle.
RICHARD HENRY LEE, Esq.
[Continued from Thursday's Paper.]
S I R, March 28, 1788.
THE Federal Constitution ought to be considered, as a specification of powers, granted by the people to Congress. Had we received a Bill of Rights from that body, we should tacitly have acknowledged its superiority. But, as Congress can exercise no power, except such as are expressly given to them by the people, a Bill of Rights is not only unnecessary, but would be highly dangerous. Because, if an enumeration was made, it might then be supposed, that every right was given up but what was reserved. The experience of England proves this. For you know, Sir, that it was not until they had obtained many charters or Bills of Rights, that they found their liberties secure. The same mode of reasoning may be employed to refute your objection, that "the rights of conscience and the freedom of the press" are not secure. For, as the Constitution gives Congress no power over either, it is not to be supposed, that they will dare to exercise any. Your objection, that "the trial by jury is at mercy," may require a little more attention. Our Bill of Rights only declares, that it shall be had in all criminal cases, and ought to be preferred in civil.—The Federal Constitution declares, that the trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury, and also implies, that when it can be had in civil controversies, it is preferable. But it leaves, as it necessarily must, the drawing the particular lines to Congress, because there are many disputes, in every State, which cannot be determined by juries.
You say, "for although inferior Congressional courts may, for the above purposes, be instituted in the different States, yet this is a matter altogether in the pleasure of the new Legislature, so that, if they please not to institute them, or if they do not regulate the right of appeal reasonably, the people will be exposed to endless oppression." Can it be the learned Richard Henry Lee, who has made this remark? What do you mean, Sir, by such uncautious insinuations? Do you wish to destroy that public confidence, which is the soul of all happy governments, and to disseminate the seeds of suspicion and discontent among us? Imprudent man! Are you not aware of the injury which you are doing yourself? Do you not perceive, that you are becoming, by your indiscretion, an object of contempt to your enemies, and of melancholy pity to your friends? But tell me, Sir, does not the Constitution expressly declare, that inferior subordinate Courts must be established; and that the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction only, in disputes between individuals? How, then, can the Supreme Court determine disputes of this denomination, unless they are first instituted in the inferior Courts? Can the Supreme Court have, in such cases, original jurisdiction? You will not certainly assert it. To determine then, are not inferior Courts necessary? You will not certainly, deny it. A moment's calm reflection, must convince every unbiased mind, that the number of inferior Courts could not, properly be adjusted by the Constitution. The outlines of the plan, could only be drawn by the Convention, and the filling of them up, has unavoidably been left to Congress. The Constitutions of the different States, have not ascertained the number of inferior Courts, but have left the arrangement of this matter to their respective Legislatures. But let it be remembered, that Congress, as it will contain the collected wisdom and patriotism of the States, will, in all human probability regulate the right of appeal, in such a manner, as to distribute equal and impartial justice. Let it be remembered, that Congress, in the other cases, will never make such regulations, which would oppress an individual citizen, to benefit an individual foreigner. Let it be remembered, also, that you, Mr. Lee, have acted in this instance, inconsistent with that decent regard to candor, which every man, who writes for the information of the public, should observe.
You say, "In this congressional Legislature, a bare majority of votes, can enact commercial laws, so that the Representatives of the seven Northern States, as they will have a majority, can by law, create
the most oppressive monopoly upon the five Southern States, whose circumstances, and productions are essentially different from theirs, although not a single man of these voters are the Representatives, of, or amenable to the people of the Southern States." Here, you begin to throw off the mask, and imprudently avow your sentiments. What does your argument tend to prove? It strikes at the very vital principle of the Confederation, and proclaims in the strongest terms, "we ought to separate." The seven Northern States, you say, differ from the Southern, in circumstances and productions, and their Representatives are not amenable to the Southern States. Is there, Sir, a greater disparity, between the interest of Massachusetts and Virginia, than there is between Norfolk and Princess Anne Counties, and Amherst and Buckingham? Certainly not—And would you persuade us, that we ought to dissolve the State Government, because in the Assembly, composed of the Representatives of these Counties, a bare majority might adopt a measure, which would be prejudicial to some one or other of the Counties? Indiscreet as you are, you would not presume to give such advice.

The Inhabitants of the City of N E W - Y O R K
ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber intends 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 pains 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. with foremen, to see the business performed. 2d. To allot each a proper district, in such manner, as that every subscriber's chimneys 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. They will be the greatest attention, as it will contribute in a particular manner, to render lives secure, & prevent the destruction of property, by conflagration, which is frequently occasioned 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 office, and the plan will be begun upon the second Monday. May 9. d. STEPHEN PATERSON.
