Continuation of Intelligence received per the Marg. et Capt. Blaine, from Glasgow.
L O N D O N, May 31. From the borders of the Danube, May 11. We have received certain accounts that the Grand Vizir is arrived in Servia with the major part of his army.
Extract of a letter from Elsinore, May 6. The Rachael, of Leith, to Peterborough, had the misfortune, in the night between Saturday and Sunday last, to get aground on the Swine Bottom, but came off again yesterday afternoon. She is just now arrived in our roads, and the master judges that she has not got much damage, as she makes little water. The 3d, the Good Hope, Capt. Forster, of Salem (in America), struck on the Anholt reef, where, it is supposed, she will be lost. She has a rich cargo of fruit, wine, and oil in, from Lisbon. Several sloops from hence, are dispatched to her assistance.
MAY 28. The Andromeda, commanded by his Royal Highness Prince William Henry, and the Hebe, by Capt. Thornborough, are ordered to join the Channel squadron of guardships as repeating frigates, under the orders of Rear Admiral Leviston Gower.
The circumstance of our Court having refused permission for any British ships to be sent out as transports to the Russian service, attending their fleet to the Mediterranean, has been already mentioned. Sweden and Holland have already adopted the same measure; and by late letters from Copenhagen, we learn, that the Court of Denmark hath laid the same injunction on their ship-owners, not to engage in this service: This will prove no small disappointment to the views of the Empress, as it is much to be doubted whether she can venture to send out a fleet of such consequence as is meditated, without the help of foreign officers and sailors. The powers in the Baltic, who have any share of the Mediterranean trade, think very justly on this occasion, that it will be contrary to their interest to engage with Russia in this adventure and by that lose all their advantages in the trade from the Straits of Gibraltar to Smyrna and Constantinople, and run the risk of having many of their people destroyed, and forced into the worst of slavery by the Turks.
The Parliaments of the different provinces of France, agreeable to the nature of the constitution, were formerly considered but as a body of Magistrates, assembled together at particular stated periods, to determine on criminal and civil cases of importance, and the States-General, composed of the Princes of the Blood, the Nobility, and deputies from each province, in which the Sovereign sat as President, had the sole power of enacting laws, registering or rejecting edicts, and forming such arrangements as they thought most conducive to the welfare and benefit of the kingdom. Those assemblies were discontinued ever since the beginning of the disturbances in France, which afterwards broke out into civil wars, and this was done by the advice of the Guises, who then had a most powerful party; and as there was but a weak Prince on the throne, dictated to in every thing by those Noblemen, as also by an ambitious and restless mother, the Queen-dowager, no assembly of the States could then be called to devise means to heal those unhappy divisions, nor indeed ever since that period have they been convened. The monarchs, however, indulged the Parliaments in the shadow of a power not originally belonging to them, in order to pacify the people, and to keep up a shew of the ancient constitution of the realm, as handed down from the institutions of Charlemagne.
The Dukes d'Uzes, de la Rochefoucauld, d'Aumont, de Luxembourg, de Prazin, and de Fitz-James have expressed by letters to the King their concern for his Majesty's late proceedings. The Monarch in his answer to them, haughtily attributes these letters to want of reflection and forgetfulness.
MAY 30. Yesterday a full Board of Admiralty was held, when two frigates were put into commission, several officers were admitted on the half-pay list, and divers promotions took place. At the breaking up of the Board, a messenger was sent down to Portsmouth and Plymouth.
The D. I. O. of Lady Wallace, was a joke in circulation some time ago at Bath. A silly custom took place among the affected people of fashion who frequented that place of using initials in their cards, instead of intelligible words. The card left on taking leave of the place was P. P. C. which, turned into language was "Pour prendre copie." A plain Englishman, to ridicule this affectation, left a card at every house where he had visited with the letters D. I. O. which engaged the curiosity, and exercised the penetration of the tenants at the tea table for a whole week, when the gentleman soon, in a letter to a friend, condescended to tell them its meaning, viz. "Damn, I'm off."
Deoxy Ducks. We read, says a correspondent, every other day, in the papers, of "a gentleman being decoyed into a house of bad fame by two women, and his pocket picked of a certain number of his guineas, or perhaps his watch."
A question here occurs, not of law, nor of gospel, but of common sense. How is this decoying performed? and which of the parties are most to be blamed or pitied? A gentleman, "whose brains," as Dr. Johnson perhaps would have said, were fluffed, and his reason abashed by the juice of Sir John Barleycorn, in his way "homewards reeling," sees some of these good natured damsels who fell pleasure like merchandise; and he feels an inclination to purchase a little of this commodity, of which every drunken man has the highest sense. Accordingly he addresses a female, who persuades him to give an extravagant price. Next morning, when reflection returns, he sees the Police, and gravely tells the Public "he was decoyed and robbed," &c. So much for gentlemen being decoyed into houses of bad fame!
LANSAMBERGH, August 4. We learn from Balfour, that a number of the inhabitants of that district assembled on the 30th ult. at the house of Capt. Uriah Gregory, to celebrate the adoption of the constitution by this State, that, after dinner, eleven truly federal and patriotic toasts were drunk, accompanied by a like number of volleys from the musketeers detached from Capt. Gregory's company—that the day was happily spent, and that at an early hour the company retired.
NEWPORT, July 31. A correspondent congratulates the Paper-Monies upon a return of sensibility—Hard truths and keen taunts have long been bluntless weapons; but repining highly irritates them (witness the Old Testament and West Indian riot)—Let us then continue our remonstrance and make the rogues feel—for that justice we once asked as a favor we shall now have as a right.
There are daily taking place among the Paper-Monies—'Tis, however, hard that not only the flesh is weak but the
ANTICIPATION. It is more than probable that the Assembly will be called to meet this month, in order to pay off the remaining State debt with the paper money at par—after which a scale of depreciation will be made, at the lowest value—and then the paper money junta will be ripe for adopting the Federal Constitution.
MOONCURSING. By the Man of the Moon we are informed that a waterman, in attempting to steal an Ox that was roasting on Federal Plain, in that planet, was caught in a steel trap that was set to catch conies. The Moonites drummed the rogue out of their festive encampment, the march, "He's caught in the Trap Boys."
AUCTIONEERING INTELLIGENCE. GOING JUST GONE. The Rev. Mr. Chouffling to the greens of Vermont, as a Missionary from the Society for propagating Fraud and Anarchy.
HEALTHS AND TOASTS. They order the matter better in France; each one drinks when he pleases, without diverting the attention of his companions, or obliging any to join when they are not athirst—"They order the matter better," as the rules of hospitality not only excuses the patron from intoxicating his guests, but the practice is viewed as highly shameful. It is a maxim in the world, that if a man drinks in private he is a sot.—In France every man at the table is equally free as if he was in his own chamber.—A Frenchman therefore feels his national honor wounded when he sees his countrymen in foreign parts inebriated in circles of conviviality; at home he would spurn him from his room as a brute.
Why then don't we order the matter as well in America? For what custom is more ludicrous? What more debasing than our unmeaning Healths and Toasts?—At our entertainments 'tis an unhappiness for a man to be distinguished in life; at best he is but the puppet of the dinner, and nods at the deceitful wishes of folly.—In the midst of eating he experiences the truth of that saying, "There is many a slip between the knife and the lip." If unhappily he should be an epicure, what efforts must he make when saluted, to gorge the mouthful and calcule his thanks.—At the close of the feast, when toasts upon toasts are given, how changed are the guests; their eyes projected, their tongues swollen, and their countenances reddened with intemperance.—'Tis the palace of folly and the lazar house of disease.—Strange that we should dare a revolution in our government, deliberate on a reform in our police, and have not the courage to throw off any British shackles of ancestral manners.
A gentleman from Edenton, North Carolina, informs us, that the Convention of that State was to meet on the 21st of July, not on the 4th, as has generally been supposed.
NEW-LONDON, August 2. THOMAS ALLEN'S Marine List.
Returned into port, Brig. Hope, Nathan Sage, master, from lat. 31. long. 64. where, on the 20th ult. he met with a severe gale of wind or hurricane, from E.N.E. to W.S.W. which continued 12 hours, carried away his foremast and fore-staysail. In this time his vessel upset, and lay on her beam-ends about an hour; when he cut away her main mast, which went overboard, with sails, boom, &c. he also lost five horses overboard. After being cleared of the spars, &c. the vessel righted, and the gale soon after abated.—He saw a ship the next day, which had lost her mizen-mast and part of her main top-mast, but could not speak with her. On the 22d, spoke Schooner Hatch, outward bound from Say-Brook Platform to Jamaica, who had met a heavy gale in lat. 33. long. 63. at S.E. but no shift of wind.—On the 28th, in lat. 37. spoke a Brig, Morgan, master from Philadelphia, bound to Jamaica, who in lat. 36. on the 23d, met a severe gale of wind at E.S.E.—On the 29th, in lat. 37. spoke a Bermudian Sloop, outward bound from New-York to Bermuda, which had met a gale of wind in lat. 38. blowing all round the compass, in which the bad lost her deck load. In lat. 40. spoke the Sloop, Mansfield, a whaleman belonging to Bedford, who had lost his mast, and was upset three times during the gale, in lat. 35. on the 23d, and who on the 24th, saw three other vessels which had lost their masts, but could not speak with them.—On the 25th, he spoke Capt. Benj. Reed, from Rhode-Island, who had lost his masts, and had no sail left on board but a fore-sail. Also saw a number of wrecks, spars, &c. &c. And so we go, poor Sailors.
July 24. Arrived, Schooner Grampus, Guyon, from Trinidad and St. Ruffina, in 15 days; who, on the 21st inst. in lat. 29. 40. long. 68. experienced a severe gale of wind, which continued with equal violence, until the 23d, shifting from W.S.W. to S.E. and at 4 o'clock A.M. the Schooner was struck by a very heavy sea on the starboard quarter, which laid her on her beam-ends, in which situation she remained sometime, the hold shifted, the boat and caboose washed overboard, &c. when he was obliged to cut away his main-mast, boom &c. all which were totally lost.—On the 24th instant, after the gale had abated, Capt. Guyon saw three dead bodies floating a long side, within 50 rods; from which circumstance, and the long continuance of the gale, it is apprehensive many vessels must have suffered. On the 25th, he spoke three whale-men, one of which (Capt. St. Ut, belonging to Bedford) supplied him with bread, his being all damaged.
July 30. Arrived, Sloop Betsey, E. Snow, from Cape Francis.
On the 29th, Capt. Snow, spoke a Sloop bound into Rhode-Island, who had in tow a Schooner, dismasted in a heavy gale of wind, of Hatteras—on the 23d inst. had the captain, mate, and five men washed overboard, who were lost; she belonged to Boston, and was from the coast of Brazil, where she had made a successful cruise, and was returning to Boston.
BOSTON, August 5. Last Friday was tow'd into Bedford, (Dartmouth) the Schooner Nancy, fitted out of this town by Capt. Houle, Mr. Stackpole, and Mr. Sturges—in a late gale the Master (Winlow) and seven other men were drowned.
Sunday arrived the brig Cumberland, David Alden, Master, from Aux Cayes, in four weeks. In lat. 37. long. 72 1/2 W. was overtaken with a violent hurricane, which continued to lat. 36, in which he lost his main mast, all his sails, long boat, &c. In lat. 37. spoke a brig from Philadelphia for Statia, belonging to Providence, William Reed, Master, whose humanity led him to provide Capt. Alden with sails, stores, &c. Capt. Reed had been out 3 days, and had lost one man in the same gale. Capt. Alden put into the Vineyard, from whence he failed last Friday: two vessels had put into Old Town, dismasted.
N. B. On the 21st ult. the gale commenced, and on the 22d the damage ensued. Motes Smith, who failed from hence, Master of the Cumberland, died on the 30th June, in Aux Cayes, of the small-pox. The brig Cumberland belongs also to Portland.
PHILADELPHIA, August 6. On Monday last the Rev. Dr. Colin delivered a sermon in the Swedish Church, from the follow-
ing words, "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning, if I do not remember thee let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy." Psalm 37, verses 5 and 6. In this discourse the Doctor enforced the duty, and displayed the advantages of PATRIOTISM in a most elegant and original manner, and concluded by taking notice of the present happy situation of the United States in the adoption of the Federal Government.
Before and after the sermon several Federal Odes, which had been previously set to music, were performed by a band, accompanied by voices. The whole of this sacred and patriotic entertainment was conducted in such a manner as to give the highest pleasure to a crowded and respectable audience. Too much praise cannot be given to the Rev. Dr. Colin, for this contribution to the order and happiness of the United States, in addition to many others which he has given during the late controversy upon the subject of the Federal Government.
The alterations (not amendments) of the Federal Constitution proposed by the Convention of New-York, says a correspondent, are so numerous, that if it were possible to admit them, they would annihilate the Constitution, and throw the United States not only back again into anarchy, but introduce poverty, misery, bloodshed and slavery into every State in the Union. The authors of these alterations would do well to put on match coats and associate with the lawless Indians who inhabit the borders of the western lakes. They have not sense enough to frame, or understand a system of government fit for a civilized nation.
On Thursday last, about five o'clock in the afternoon, the powder-mill belonging to Mr. Thomas Roberts, in Lower Merion, supposed to contain about 65 lbs. of powder, was blown up, occasioned by one Richard Sills taking a chisel to empty the mortars, whereby he was driven up to the roof, and was so much hurt that he lived but 12 hours after. All his clothes were burnt, and his flesh was as black as a coal. It is remarkable, about four weeks ago a mill that stood on the same spot was blown up, with 150 lbs. of powder. Luckily there was no person near it at that time.
It is with singular pleasure that we inform the public, that a child that had been fifteen minutes under water, a few days ago in our river, and was taken out apparently dead, was perfectly recovered by following the Directions published by the HUMAN SOCIETY of this city. A circumstance deserving to be mentioned here, that contributed chiefly to the recovery of this child. Many respectable merchants, whose stores are on our wharves, have consented to have these Directions of the Society hung up in their counting-houses. It was by procuring suddenly a copy of these Directions in the counting-house of Mr. George Latimer, and strictly following them, that the life of this child was saved, by Mr. Latimer and others, without the assistance of a physician.
WINCHESTER, July 30. On Monday last a violent storm of rain, attended with loud peals of thunder, caused a sudden inundation, in the small runs and rivulets, in this town and vicinity, which greatly inconvenienced the inhabitants, by rendering the streets in many places impassable, overflowing cellars, kitchens, &c. but we do not hear of any material damage being sustained.
FREDERICKSBURGH, July 31. Considerable damage was done last Wednesday night, at Port Royal and Hobb's-Hole, by a violent gale of wind from N. E. which continued most of the night.
We learn, that there are a number of vessels on shore, near the mouth of the Bay, among which is a Sloop, Capt. E. Rofs, from the West-Indies, belonging to this port.
BALTIMORE, August 5. It is with great pleasure we learn, that the loss sustained by the storm of the 24th ultimo, did not amount to near so much as was calculated at that time; for by the care and unremitted exertions of the merchants, a considerable quantity of sugar, tobacco, and other articles, were saved from the threatened destruction.
PETERSBURGH, July 31.
We learn from North-Carolina, that the Convention of that State are now examining into the principles of the New Federal Constitution—but that there appeared to be a majority who were inflexibly determined either to reject the government, or to adjourn to some future day—rather than be admitted into the Union under the idea of obtaining subsequent amendments.
In the night of Wednesday the 23d inst. we had a most violent storm of wind and rain, which increased during the night to such a degree, as to blow down many very large trees, unroofed several houses, destroyed a considerable quantity of Indian corn, fruit, and did other material damage. The destruction among the vessels in Elizabeth river and Hampton road surpasses any thing of the kind ever known to have happened in this country. Many were driven a considerable distance on land some are totally lost, and hardly one but what has received such damage as to be rendered incapable of proceeding to sea. We have received an account of the following vessels:—Ship Favorite, John Hughes, entirely lost; ship Mermaid, Hunter, on shore, but her cargo has since been taken out, and we are informed she has been got off, with the loss of her masts, &c. Brig Commerce, Wilson; brig Hero, Denney; and Two Pollies, Brown, on shore—brig Tortola Packet, Alcorn, and a Schooner, ragged out the storm, but we are informed the latter cut away her masts. The above vessels were in Hampton road. Brig Neptune, Wallace, on shore at Alameda Point; lost her bowsprit, and sprung her foremast—A new brig drove into the Main street of Portsmouth: Schooner Sincerity, White, on shore near the distillery; state Schooner Patriot, on shore near Portsmouth. Several other vessels that were driven on shore, have been got off.
NEW-YORK, Aug. 11.
Yesterday sailed for London, the ship Montgomery, Capt. Buayan; and ship Four Friends, Capt. Goelet.
We learn from Philadelphia, that not more than two thirds of the quantity of spirituous liquors have been entered into the Excise Office of that city this year, that were entered last year, and that the demand for malt liquors has increased in proportion to the diminished consumption of spirits.
There were formerly, we are told, twelve breweries in Boston, and only two distilleries; there are now thirty-two distilleries, and not one brewery in that town. For shame, for shame, sister Boston!—From the age of this town, (being our elder sister) we had a right to expect the would set her younger sister a better example.
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman at Leghorn, to his friend and correspondent at Abingdon, Hertford County, Maryland.
"Through the medium of Mr. Horace Mann, English Minister at Florence, I have been lately
introduced to Prince Cooper, who has habited me his domestic chaplain.—The Prince is a great amateur of mechanics , and has made one of the choicest collections of instruments and machines in Europe. In order to compliment his favorite study, I promised to undertake an hydrostatic machine for drawing water of itself , which, after great labor and fatigue I have accomplished, to the satisfaction of myself, and surprize of all who have seen it. The use of it is to raise water from a fountain on the side of a hill, to any height, by means of two buckets fastened to a chain, which runs over a wheel and axis—both buckets fill at the same moment—the one which is to descend when full, weighs three times as much as the other, by being thrice as large, which discharges its water by means of a spring door, at the same instant below, as the other does above; which last when empty, weighs three times as much as the former, and of course descends and forces the other up with such impetuosity as to open two doors at the wake-head to fill them; and by these means continue to go on perpetually.—This having succeeded so well, I am encouraged to execute another machine, for demonstrating the cause of the Aurora Borealis, &c. &c. which will be attended with much more labor."
SHIP NEWS.
Capt. Paplay, in the ship Theresa, arrived at Philadelphia, from Newry, which he left on the 4th of June—on the 8th spoke the King George Packet, from Lisbon, for Falmouth, out 4 days.

BRACHYGRAPHY.
Mr. SARJEANT,
LATE Assistant Teacher at the PRINCE OF WALES'S MILITARY ACADEMY at Kensington, near London, proposes to give a course of instructions in SHORTHAND WRITING, after the method of Mr. GURNEY, in this city.
Of the utility of the art to Gentlemen of the LEARNED PROFESSIONS, nothing needs be asserted, nor of the superiority of this system to any other; as it is known to be in general esteem wherever the English language is spoken; and to unite the different excellencies of EXPEDITION and LEGIBILITY; a system, the result of FIFTY YEARS PRACTICE and EXPERIENCE in the different English Courts of Judicature, &c. and now reduced to such a degree of perfection, as to be scarcely capable of further improvement.
A convenient room for the purpose is already engaged, and the hours of attendance will be made agreeable to the pupils. The pay and practice with each consist of SIX LESSONS. The terms ONE GUINEA, or HALF A JOY from those who are waited upon at their houses.
As Mr. Sarjeant's avocation in the city of Philadelphia requires his return in twelve or fourteen days, he offers himself to these Ladies or Gentlemen who intend to honor him with their attendance, will be as early as possible in their application. No. 52, Smith street. August 8. 3t

EXPLAINED in a manner suited to the capacity of beginners; with Notes and Observations, calculated for those who have made proficiency in the Classics. By JAMES HARDIE, A.B. Teacher of the GREEK and LATIN Languages, NEW-YORK.
WE, the President and professors of Columbia College, whose names are hereunto subscribed, do certify that we have examined a new publication entitled "The principles of the Latin Grammar" explained, &c. by James Hardie, and that we find it an accurate and judicious compilation calculated for the last union of youth in the rudiments of the Latin language, and such as may be useful even to those who have made considerable progress therein. We therefore recommend it to all who are entrusted with the care of education, and particularly to the teachers in the different schools of this state.
