ALEXANDRIA, December 11.
A few nights since the house of Dr. Thomas Marshall, Prince George's county, Maryland, was broke open and robbed of household furniture, &c. to a considerable amount. The same night the house of Mrs. Chapman, in that neighbourhood, was set on fire, and entirely consumed. It is conjectured the villains concerned in the above robbery and incendiary, were the perpetrators in robbing Mr. Robey's store.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 24.
On Monday arrived the ship St. James, Collins, in 44 days from Cadiz.
Yesterday cleared out at the custom-house, the ship Adventure, Wadsworth, for Montego-Bay; sloop N. S. De Bohania, —; Oporto; brig Mary, Burnham, Madeira; schooner Camnett, Prince, —; sloop St. John, Hayden, Halifax; and Indurtry, Tinker, Norwich.
On Monday night last, a seaman, in attempting to get on board a vessel lying at Murray's wharf, unfortunately fell betwixt the sides of two vessels into the river, and instantly disappeared—search was made after him that evening, but in vain. Yesterday morning his body was discovered floating in the river, and was brought on shore. It is said a woman was with him when he was going on board, and when the accident happened immediately alarmed some of the crews of the neighbouring vessels with her shrieks—however, it seems she soon after went off, and has not since been heard of.
Such has been the severity of the weather since last Thursday, that we are informed the North-River above Tappan is frozen over; also the Delaware opposite Philadelphia.
The North-River being impassable from the prodigious quantities of ice floating in it, prevented any communication of intelligence from our legislature at Albany by the last post.
A curious production has been submitted to the Academy of Sciences at Göttingen, entitled, — Decouverte intéressante, Bureau Chirographique , in which is the following description of the Bureau. It is about 15 inches in length, 12 in breadth, and 4 in height. It is perfectly secret in all its parts, and no person can open it, who has not been first instructed in the means.
This mechanical invention has six different effects. I. A person may write his thoughts, without the spectator being able to read the characters, the same thing may be done by blind men. Those who see may use it in the night time, with or without candles, and have no fear of committing an error in the writing. They may, at will, leave off where they began, and at the same time abandon it to the public curiosity without entertaining any apprehension that what they have written will be known. II. We may write the wrong way, so as to read what we have written by reflection. III. All characters may be imitated, the hand-writing formed after the best models, and plans and designs copied with the greatest exactness. IV. Music may be copied with perfect correctness and celerity. V. We may throw on paper our thoughts by night as well as by day; we may efface and change them at pleasure, and write with the greatest quickness a discourse rapidly pronounced. VI. This machine has still another effect, which the artist reserves for the knowledge of sovereigns and ministers, whenever the secret shall be necessary.
To the preceding description is annexed the report of the royal academy of sciences at Brussels. Mr. Hubin, watch-maker, of Fuy, (in the Bishopric of Liege) is the author of this invention. The academy, having praised its simplicity and use, remarks, that the first effect may be advantageous, the second amusing, the third subject to many inconveniences in the practice, the fourth and the fifth exaggerated; that the methods employed by the inventor have merit, and that the machine may be brought to perfection.
Arrivals at Baltimore—Brig Louis, Denny, from Cape Francois; Counsellor P—Gahler, B. T. Clafien, Alicant; and sloop Sally, Alydyett, Roanoke.
Arrivals at Wilmington (Cape Fear) N. Carolina.—Snow Vulcan, Potter, and sloop Liberty, Hatch, from Rhode-Island; schooner Good-Hope, Hunter, Boston; sloop Phoenix, Bartlett, and Nancy and Polly, Bransbay, New-York.
Arrivals at Edenton, N. Carolina.—Schooner Sally and Betsey, Wallace, Boston; Deane, Bullock, Rhode-Island; Success, Whitmarsh, Digbron; Sophia, Baum, and Saucy Jack, Mann, Baltimore. Sloop Friendship, Brown, Boston; Betsey, Brown, Rhode-Island; Sally, Burr, Connecticut; Tantalus, Pennock, and Rambler, Deshon, New-York; Betsey, Warring, Philadelphia.
The following are true copies of letters which passed between the Duchess of Kingston, and Mr. Foote, the celebrated comedian, with respect to the publication of a comedy called the "Trip to Calais." In this piece the character of the Duchess was admirably drawn, and the real design of Foote, was to obtain a considerable sum of money from her, for suppressing the piece: however he did not succeed.
To her Grace the Duchess of KINGSTON.
"Madam,
A Member of the privy council, and a friend of your grace's (he has begged me not to mention his name, but I suppose your grace will easily guess him) has just left me; he has explained to me, what I did not conceive, that the publication of the scenes in the "Trip to Calais," at this juncture, with the dedication and preface, might be of infinite ill consequence to your affairs.
"I really, madam, with you no ill, and should be sorry to do you an injury.
"I therefore give up to that consideration, what neither your grace's offers, nor the threats of your agents could obtain; the scenes shall not be published, nor shall any thing appear at my theatre, or from me, that can hurt you; provided the attacks made on me in the newspapers do not make it necessary for me to act in defence of myself.
"Your grace will therefore see the necessity of giving proper directions.
"I have the honor to be, "Your grace's most devoted servant, "SAM. FOOTE.
"North-End, Sunday, Aug. 13, 1775."
To Mr. FOOTE.
"Sir,
"I WAS at dinner when I received your ill-judged letter. As there is little consideration required, I shall sacrifice a moment to answer it.
"A Member of your Privy Council can never hope to be of a Lady's cabinet.
"I know too well what is due to my own dignity, to enter into a compromise with an extortionate assassin of private reputation. If I before abhorred you for your slander, I now despise you for your concessions; it is a proof of the illiberality of your nature, when you can publish or suppress it as best suits the needy convenience of your purse. You first had the cowardly baseness to draw the sword, and, if I sheath it, until I make you crouch like the subservient vassal, as you are, then is there not spirit in an injured woman, nor meanness in a slanderous buffoon.
"To a man, my sex alone would have screened me from attack; but I am writing to the descendant of a Merry Andrew, and prostitute the term of manhood by applying it to Mr. Foote.
"Cloathed in innocence as in a coat of mail, I am proof against an host of foes; and conscious of never having intentionally offended a single individual, I doubt not but a brave and generous public will protect me from the malevolence of a theatrical assassin. You shall have cause to remember, that though I would have given liberally for the relief of your necessities, I scorn to be bullied into a purchase of your silence.
"There is something, however, in your pity, at which my nature revolts. To make me an offer of pity, at once betrays your insolence and your vanity. I will keep the pity you send until the morning before you are turned off, when I will return it by a Cupid, with a box of lip-salve, and a choir of clitorists shall chaunt a fave to your requiem.
"E. KINGSTON.
"Kingston-House, Sunday, Aug. 13. "P. S. You would have received this sooner, but the servant has been a long time writing it."
To the Duchess of KINGSTON.
"Madam,
"Though I have neither time nor inclination to answer the libelous attacks of your agents, yet a public correspondence with your grace is too great an honor for me to decline. I can't help thinking but it would have been prudent in your grace to have answered my letter before dinner, or at least postponed it to the cool hour of the morning: you would then have found that I had voluntarily granted that request which you had endeavored, by so many different ways, to obtain.
"Lord Mountstuart, for whose amiable qualities I have the highest respect, and whose name your agents first very unnecessarily produced to the public, must recollect, when I had the honor to meet him at Kingston-house, by your grace's appointment, that instead of begging relief from your charity, I rejected your splendid offers to suppress "The Trip to Calais," with the contempt they deserved. Indeed, Madam, the humanity of my royal and benevolent master, and the public protection, have placed me much above the reach of your bounty.
"But why, Madam, put on your coat of mail against
me? I have no hostile intentions. Folly, not vice, is the game I pursue. In those scenes which you so unaccountably apply to yourself, you must observe, that there is not the slightest hint at the little incidents of your life, which have excited the curiosity of the grand inquest for the county of Middlesex. I am happy, Madam, however, to hear that your robe of innocence is in such perfect repair; I was afraid it might have been a little the worse for the wearing; may it hold out to keep you warm the next winter.
"The progenitors your grace has done me the honor to give me, are, I presume, merely metaphorical persons, and to be considered as the authors of my mule, and not of my manhood: a Merry Andrew and a Prostitute are no bad poetical parents, especially for a writer of plays; the first to give the humor and mirth, the last to furnish the graces and powers of attraction. Prostitutes and players too must live by pleasing the public; not but your grace may have heard of ladies, who, by private practice, have accumulated amazing great fortunes. If you mean that I really owe my birth to that pleasant connection, your grace is grossly deceived. My father was, in truth, a very useful magistrate, and respectable country gentleman, as the whole county of Cornwall will tell you. My mother, the daughter of Sir Edward Goodere, bart. who represented the county of Hereford; her fortune was large, and her morals irreproachable, till your grace condescended to stain them; she was upwards of fourscore years old when she died, and, what will surprise your grace, was never married but once in her life. I am obliged to your grace for your intended present on the day, as you politely express it, when I am to be turned off. But where will your grace get the Cupid to bring me the lip-salve? That family, I am afraid, has long quitted your service.
"Pray, Madam, is not J—— the name of your female confidential secretary? and is not the generally clothed in black petticoats made out of your weeds,
"So mourn'd the dame of Ephesus her lover?" "I fancy your grace took the hint when you last resided at Rome; you heard there, I suppose, of a certain Joan who was once elected a pope, and, in humble imitation, have converted a pious parson into a chambermaid. The scheme is new in this country, and has doubtless its particular pleasures. That you may never want the benefit of the clergy in every emergency, is the sincere wish of
"Your grace's most devoted "And obliged humble servant, "SAMUEL FOOTE."

COAL TAR.
A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by Charles Wilkes, No. 12, Hanover-square. The sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company.
THE superior excellence of this Tar in preserving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the British Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public. New-York, April 26, 1788.
WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van Tuyl's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, one payed over with Lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other, two pieces with a font thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we afterwards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said wharf.
That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grass and barnacles, the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as sound and fresh as when put down.
From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bottom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. Signed) John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Crosfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.

Persons travelling either by land or water, may have it put up for them with printed directions, on notice of half an hour. Sept. 25.
Mutual Assurance Company of the City of New-York,
For the purpose of insuring Houses and other Buildings in the said city from loss by FIRE.
THE Directors again recommend this institution to the particular attention of their fellow-citizens, and are happy to inform them that from the encouragement it has met with there is no doubt but that it will effectually answer the end proposed—to wit, A certain relief for a very trifling consideration to the parties who shall sustain a loss by fire.
Those persons, and particularly widows, whose support is derived from the rents of houses, are earnestly requested to consider how precarious their situation is, and how soon they may be reduced from a comfortable income to absolute indigence, notwithstanding their utmost care. This institution affords a sure asylum to them in case of distress, and by availing themselves of it, they will relieve their minds from great anxiety.
Administrators and guardians of property in houses will seriously reflect whether they do not expose themselves to heavy censure in case of accidents, if they neglect to secure the property entrusted to their care by every prudent means in their power. This office presents relief to the helpless orphans, who might otherwise be totally deprived of every means of education and support. The benefits of the institution, in short, apply to every class of citizens in general, who will do well to consider that if they neglect partaking of them till an accident happens, the barefaced impropriety there would be in seeking relief from the bounty of their fellow citizens, when their own prudence ought to have secured it to them.
It is almost needless to add what is evident to every person, that the greater certainty of success depends upon the extensive number of the company, and those who are parties to it will for their own sakes use their influence to convince others of its utility.
The chief difficulties that inevitably attend the first stages of every undertaking, are now overcome, and every additional member is a sensible diminution of the risk.
SKETCH of the Rates and Conditions of Insurance.
FIRST RATE. THAT for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone, with party-walls twelve inches or upwards above the roof, and covered with tiles, slate, copper, or other safe materials, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium 3/ deposit, 12/ total, 15/.
SECOND RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other building; built of brick or stone, covered with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, but without such party-walls as above described, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 4/ deposit, 16/ total, 20/.
THIRD RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone up to the roof, but covered partly with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, and partly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 5/ deposit, 17/ total, 22/.
FOURTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, the outside walls of which are built of brick or stone up to the roof, and which are covered wholly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 6/ deposit, 17/ total, 23/.
FIFTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed house, and other buildings, with brick or stone fronts, and the sides filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 7/ deposit, 17/ total, 24/.
SIXTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed buildings filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 8/ deposit, 17/ total, 25/.
SEVENTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all wooden buildings, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 10/ deposit, 21/ total, 31/.
The expence therefore of insuring five hundred pounds for seven years, on a building as described in the fifth rate, which comprehends the greatest proportion of houses in this city, will appear as follows:
  Premium on £. 500 at 7/ per cent. £. 1 15 0   Deposit, at 28/ per cent. 7 0 0   Policy and badge, 0 10 0   £. 9 5 0 
If the amount of the premiums is found sufficient to pay the losses by fire, and the incident expences of the office, the whole of the deposit will be returned at the expiration of seven years, is 7 0 0
Which shews the expence of insuring £. 500 for seven years may not, in all probability, exceed two pounds five shillings; a small cost for securing said sum for such length of time.
No sugar-house, brew-house, bake-house, still-house, cooper's or joiner's shop, or other house or shop wherein any of the hazardous trades or businesses following are carried on, viz. chymists, ship chandlers, tallow chandlers, stable-keepers, tavern-keepers, printers, malt-driers, oil or colormen; or which are used as stores for hazardous goods, viz. hemp, flax, tallow, pitch, tar, turpentine, spirits of turpentine, rosin, gunpowder, shingles, hay, straw, fodder of all kinds, and corn unthreshed, will be insured, but on such terms only as the directors shall specially agree.
Any person applying to the secretary of this office for insurance, must deposit twenty shillings for each policy, to defray expences of survey, &c. which will be allowed in part of such insurance when made, but on default, will be forfeited to the company.
As the Mutual Assurance Company is established on principles of reciprocal advantage, without attending to the interest of any individual, it is necessary that all persons, before their insurance commences in this society, pay their premiums and deposits on receiving their policies, signed by three of the directors, and subscribing the deed of settlement.
Any person insured by this society becomes a member thereof, and is eligible to be chosen a director.
All losses or damages by fire are to be paid or repaired within ninety days from their settlement in the office.
By Order of the Directors, JOHN PINTARD, Secretary. No. 57, King-street. Dec. 2, 1788.
