CONSTANTINOPLE, April 10.
The plague has again begun to rage, owing to the heat of the weather. Eight days ago it was scarcely spoke of, and now numbers fall victims to it daily. The capital, the villages around it, Smyrna, Scio, the islands even in the sea of Marmora, are infected with it. They think that two Spanish frigates which passed the winter here had the plague on board, and being obliged to remain at anchor many days amongst the islands in the sea of Marmora, communicated it to the inhabitants.
WARSAW, June 11.
Count Olszerman has written a letter from Peterburg to the town of Dantzic, advising them to conduct themselves in such a manner as not to give foreign powers occasion to take any steps to the disadvantage of their freedom. Notwithstanding this, it is said, that the majority of the people of Dantzic are against sending Deputies to Warsaw, and that they have even written to the King of Poland to refuse the deputation.
FRANKFORT, June 3.
Many private letters from Vienna talk of peace. They say, they only expect the arrival of two couriers to agree upon a truce. This conjecture is founded on the secret departure of a person employed in the Chancery of State, whose father was the Emperor's Minister at Constantinople.
MADRID, May 30.
We learn that there is not only a Russian Squadron expected in the Mediterranean, but also a Danish one, which appears very likely to be sent to the Barbary states, who are at peace with us, instead of assisting the ships which compose these fleets, as we do, are preparing to molest and attack them, to hinder their purpose.
LONDON, June 26.
The Danes are arming apace; for what purpose we do not pretend to say, but extraordinary means are made use of. We have the best reason to believe they will join Sweden against the Russians.
ANSWER of the FRENCH KING to the Representations of the STATES of BRITTANY.
My orders to the Comte de Thiers were, that he should march a large body of troops into Rennes; in doing so he has only executed my commands.
The first object of the intermediate commission of Parliament should have been to pay obedience to my will. Above all, in its refusal, there should have been no reasons assigned, tending to promote dissensions among my people.
My troops were not marched against my subjects, but for their protection; to protect the obedient and quiet citizen—to prevent his being led aside by a temporary alarm and heat—to guard him in a measure against himself.
The liberty of each individual of my subjects shall always remain sacred under the protection of my authority, as long as they do not abuse it by disturbing the public tranquility.
Since the arrival of my troops, events have proved how necessary their presence was in Rennes; they were only called in to preserve good order, and you may acquaint the people at large, when that is accomplished I shall order them to be withdrawn. If my Parliament wishes to merit my confidence in the discharge of its duty, let it take care to observe an obedient conduct. I shall not pardon those a second time who suspect my good intentions, and who insinuate my people to suspect them in the same manner.
After replying in this manner to the letter you have addressed to me, I have to add, that I am extremely displeased at what has passed at Rennes.
The Attorney General of the States of Brittany has dared to place himself above my edicts, even before he knew their contents, besides holding them in contempt.
The gentlemen of the province have assembled in large numbers contrary to my permission, though their want of authority is the least part of their misconduct.
The Assemblies have taken such measures, as I am willing only to name inconsiderate and disrespectful. The Magistrates, not content with protesting against my edicts, have, in spite of my orders, multiplied their acts of disobedience. I was therefore under the necessity to disperse them; and it is for your good, that I cannot allow them to return.
If in a work so useful, and rendered necessary by circumstances, whose chief effects have been long wished for, and which, from its importance and good tendency, should extend to the whole kingdom of France; the province of Brittany has represented to me any local inconveniences to their particular constitution, I assured you, that I would pay attention to any memorial you might lay before me. It is by moderate representations, founded on equity, that my justice and goodness should be petitioned; every other means is improper, and contrary to the allegiance due to me.
If I have been induced on the present occasion to suspend the effects of my displeasure—Go back and
tell your citizens, that the clemency of Kings must terminate the moment that public tranquility begins to suffer by it. (Signed) LOUIS.
SPEECH of the PRESIDENT ATTORNEY GENERAL of the STATES of BRITTANY, at an extraordinary Convocation, held at Rennes, on the occasion of his Majesty's marching 1500 armed men into the Town.
GENTLEMEN, At the time of our solemn protestation, made the 5th of this month against every attempt which might be aimed at the rights and liberties of the province of Brittany, we could only suspect the misfortunes and the calumnies which threatened it. To indemnify us by a faithful discharge of our duty, and to merit the confidence reposed us, was the occasion of our protest.
Charged by the unanimous wishes of the States to oppose every attempt of innovation against our sacred rights, which though they guarantee to the King the obedience and fidelity of the Britons, guarantee in an equal degree to Britons the enjoyment of their rights and liberties—charged as we are in like manner by the States, and authorized by the edict of Henry III. in the year 1579, to resist every infraction of contract which the Kings of France have so often and solemnly sworn to maintain; we should indeed have been guilty of prevarication and perjury, if we had not protested beforehand against acts which had been publicly declared injurious to the laws.
The scandalous invasion of the military, under the administration of Messrs. Duillard and de Berruyer, has but too fully justified our alarms, and the precautions we have thought necessary to take. We have seen the temple of Justice invaded by armed soldiers, we have seen them enter its sanctuary, and substitute acts of violence for the laws of justice. We have been witnesses of Magistrates being torn from their functions, and replaced by men who are become the blind instruments of oppression, instead of the defenders of their country.
Such a revolution founded in mystery—carried on by cunning and artifice—executed in short with every appearance of being armed against the enemies of the State, can only be considered as a more aggravated attempt against the sacred rights of the nation. It can only aim at the extreme excesses of despotism. It goes to alter—it goes to change—it goes to annihilate the Courts of Justice and the national legislation. It goes to shut up the Courts, and exile the Members; and under the cloak of establishing new regulations in the administration of civil and criminal justice, the most alarming disorders are introduced—the greatest violence of arbitrary power is permitted—the accustomed and revered forms which mark the law with its true character, are annihilated—the most sacred engagements are violated, and the constitution is destroyed in its basis.
Such attempts can never be legalized; it would seem as if the agents of power only made a sport in putting the finishing hand to our just apprehensions; they have taken no precaution to guard the public State Papers; they have put no seal to the records of Parliament, or archives of the Chamber of Accounts; but all are ignominiously trampled in the hands of an unbridled soldiery, who will doubtless pay no respect to the place, having been taught to despise the Members of it.
Far from taking any measures to restrict these endless persecutions and violences, the means seem only employed to aggravate them. Fresh levies of troops are called in; they are assembled as if in an enemy's country—and the citizen sees himself, in the midst of peace, threatened to become a prey to all the calamities of war.
But such abuses of authority cannot fail to have an end, the more they are revolting and unexampled, the less likely they are to have a continuance. The laws must, without doubt, soon re-assume their empire—and the enlightened justice of the Sovereign will revenge itself on the odious surprise it has been drawn into—he will soon distinguish who are the enemies of his glory and the people—and sooner or later his just indignation will fall on those advisers who shake the foundation of his authority, by forcing him to substitute arbitrary power beyond what the laws can sanction. (Signed) DE BROTHEREL.
The Court then resolved to abide by all its former resolutions, and the President returned his thanks, in the name of the Court, to M. de Brotherel, and all those gentlemen who had with so much patriotism accompanied him.

Yesterday Archibald McDonald, Esq. and John Scott, Esq. kissed hands on being appointed Attorney and Solicitor General: when, without any previous communication, his Majesty was pleased to confer the honor of Knighthood on them.
JULY 1.
Letters from Vienna, dated the 14th instant, bring an account that a strong report prevails there of a Congress being appointed to meet at Semlin the first week in July to treat of a peace, and that a cessation of hostilities is expected to be proclaimed very shortly.
The following unfortunate circumstance happened a few days ago:—A lady who had lost her husband, being left pregnant, was shortly afterwards delivered of twins, a fine boy and girl. The mother dying in slender circumstances, the male child was adopted by a gentleman, who took it with him to America, and educated it as his own. When the boy arrived to manhood, by the permission of his adopted father he came to England. He happened to take lodgings at a house in which his sister lived, but neither of them had the least knowledge of each other. In a short time a mutual affection took place, which produced a private marriage. They lived together two years in the greatest felicity, which was heightened by two fine infants, the fruit of their innocent incestuous marriage. A circumstance at length happened, by which the unfortunate husband was convinced, that his beloved wife was his own sister. This discovery had such a melancholy effect upon his mind, that the next day he put an end to his existence; and, in three days afterwards, the equally unfortunate wife followed her brother and husband to the grave, having died with excess of grief.
Extract of a letter from Leghorn, June 2.
We are assured that some Deputies from Val-teline have presented themselves to the Government of Milan, and offered to submit themselves to the House of Austria. These people two years hence made great complaints to the Milan Lords, and threatened to detach themselves from their government if they did not immediately remedy the disorders occasioned by the consuls who governed their bailiwicks. Whether the House of Austria, in the present circumstances, accept this offer, which may excite the jealousy of the other powers, we know not. That fine country is extremely fertile, especially in excellent wines, and the possession of it will unite Tyrol to Milan, and will be an agreeable acquisition to the sovereigns of Austria, should they reap no other advantage from it than that of uniting the States of Italy to those of Germany, and thereby have no occasion to pass through the Venetian Estates to go into the country of Milan, and the Valtelines will thereby be under the dominion of a government to which it belonged in the times of the Dukes of Milan.
Extract of a Letter from Reims, May 21.
A singular matter has happened here, which gives occasion to a variety of conjectures on education. A man who followed the business of a sieve-maker, a Grifen by nation, lost his wife about 17 years ago, by whom he had left a daughter aged two years. He retired to the upper story of a small house, where he shut up the poor innocent in a little garret, leaving open to it only one small window, through which he gave the child food, without ever speaking to her, or giving her any instruction. In this manner she passed more than ten years. The man then falling ill, was carried to the hospital of the Holy Ghost, where two days after he called a servant to him and begged him to carry something to eat to his daughter, describing to him the place where she was shut up. The man went to the house with the victuals, where, after searching all over it, he happened to find her before the window, on which he called her, in order to see whether it was she or not. He now saw advance towards him a savage figure, in a dirty shift, all in tatters, her hair thin and standing on end, and the nails of her hands and feet very long. When she saw the man, she set up a crying and mew like a fierce wild cat, then fell a running and beating the wall. The servant, astonished at the adventure, and seeing nothing but straw and filth about the entrance, threw the victuals into this confined place, and withdrew. He then went directly to the priest of the parish, who, accompanied by some other persons, repaired to the house, where they forced open the garret door, which was nailed up, took out the girl, who was deprived of the use of speech, and had nothing humane in her but her figure. Having cleansed and clothed her, the priest put her under the care of a good lady, where, by order of Government, they are now endeavouring to instruct her, and to make her speak if possible. Her father died a few days after in the hospital. The multitude of curious persons who go to see this little savage is so great, that Government has been obliged to place a guard before the door of the house where she lives.

Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, May 26. On the 14th arrived here an English ship from Deptford, of 850 tons burthen, having on board 68 pieces of cannon of 32 pounders, besides a great quantity of bullets, shells, gun-powder, and other warlike stores, destined for Constantinople, the Porte taking from Britain all they are in want of to carry on the war against Russia.
The Portague squadron, which cruized in the Straights is at present at anchor before our road; and the Spanish squadron belonging to Cadiz, consisting of seven ships of the line and two frigates, have been cruising for some days in sight of this port.
Extract of a letter from the British Consul at Effingham, dated June 14.
The Swedish fleet (16 of the line and four frigates) was seen three days ago off Gotland, supposed intended to escort above 50 gallies, and double the number of transports, with about 40,000 troops, towards the borders of Finland, where the Russians seem pretty much unguarded, and not advancing very fast with their fleet at Cronstadt, only three ships of the line being hauled out of the Mole, and so sickly that they bury 40 men every day.
Extract of a letter from Plymouth, June 30.
This morning at nine o'clock, Admiral Gower made a signal for the fleet to get under weigh, when the men of war under his command, consisting of the following ships, weighed anchor, viz. Edgar 74 Admiral Gower; Colossus 74, Magnificent 74, Cullen 74, Crown 64, Scipio 64, Andromeda 32, His Royal Highness Prince William Henry; Hebe 32, and Trimmer brig.
In a little time they all made sail, and proceeded with a tolerable breeze to the Westward on a cruise, Wind W. N. W.
The Glory, of 98 guns, one of the first ships of her class in the royal navy, is to be launched on Saturday the 5th of July. An 80 gun ship, of two decks, name as yet unknown, is to be laid down immediately, to carry 32 pounders on both decks. The Cæsar, of the same class, is very forward, being laid down when the Royal Sovereign was launched in September 1786. The Prince, of 98 guns, is expected round from Chatham, but the Invincible is to go round in her room, both to be in ordinary.
BARBADOS, June 18.
Yesterday forenoon Anne Crichow, alias Anne Boyle, stood in the pillory pursuant to her sentence at the last court of grand sessions; and it is with extreme regret, that we inform the public of a dispute that happened between some of the officers of the 49th regiment stationed here, and the constables upon duty, with the violent consequences which ensued. It is to be understood, that the magistrates had previously ordered the constables to prevent, as far as possible, any person peeping this unfortunate woman, and we understand some person of the 49th was about doing so, when he was cautioned by Mr. Kenn, the constable, and told, that if he attempted to pelt the woman, it was the duty of the constables to prevent it, and he would do his duty; some words ensued, in consequence of which the officer drew his sword, made a pass at one man, when he was seized by Kenn, who tripped up his heels, and deprived him of his weapon. Soon after the woman was taken down, and the constable (Kenn) who had the sword, carried the same to the house of Geo. Errington, Esq. one of the Justices of the Peace for this town; Mr. Errington being from home the constable waited his arrival, before which several officers called at the house of the justice, and demanded of Kenn, the sword, which he refused to deliver; and they went away; soon after Mr. Errington came home, and Kenn lodged his complaint before him; Mr. E. was unwilling to take cognizance of the matter, as he had been used very uncivilly before by some of those gentlemen, and he requested Kenn to apply to Colonel Keeling, the Chief Justice of the last sessions; this Kenn promised to do and retired, leaving the sword at Mr. Errington's house. Mr. E. now went to dinner with his family, and was soon alarmed with the cry of "the soldiers are coming," and his house immediately filled with upwards of 100, they ran up his stairs, alarmed his family, drew their swords and bayonets and with the most horrid imprecations presented their weapons to his breast, and threatened instant death if the sword was not delivered; the worthy magistrate expostulated with them, but in vain, the sword they must have, and he was compelled to deliver it; here commenced a dreadful business indeed, the soldiery knocked down the people, maimed and wounded several of the inhabitants, smashed the windows, broke open the doors, and put the whole town in confusion; indeed the lower part of the town, resembled a place besieged by the enemy, and about to be plundered. It is said, (but we hope our information may be false), that some persons were in disguise among the soldiery, with drawn bayonets, and that one of them was wounded in the street.
A soldier attempting to stab an inhabitant of the town, had his bayonet wrenched from him, which is now in the possession of a justice of the
peace. The inhabitants took up their worthy commander in chief, in hopes that some effectual remedy will be fallen upon to quiet their minds, that are at present violently agitated by this unprecedented outrage committed on their peace; and from the proofs he has already given of his attachment to the civil rights of the people, leaves them without a doubt that their expectations will be fully satisfied. We are informed that an enquiry has been made by several of the principal officers of the regiments into this disgraceful business, and that some punishments have already taken place.

PHILADELPHIA, August 31.
A correspondent says, that two Jews, one of whom is a person of distinction, have lately come to this city from Jamaica, and who have not long ago been at Hebron, which is about 30 miles from Jerusalem, and which is their usual place of residence. Their object is to collect subscriptions for some of their brethren who have been enslaved by the Turks for not producing a certain tribute at an appointed time. There are some who remember, that upon the failure of the payment of this tribute, the Jews at Hebron were seized once upon as slaves by their cruel and insatiable oppressors the Turks. It would be a laudable instance of generosity and magnanimity in the Christians to contribute according to their ability, as well as Jews, for the purpose of relieving the oppressed. It has been said, that money is twice blest; that it blesses those who receive and those who give.
