L O N D O N, Jan. 22.
The whole Navy of Spain consisted, at the commencement of the present year, of 126 vessels, of which 66 are of the line, as follows:
 1 of 112 guns.  1 of 110  2 of 96  6 of 80  40 of 70  16 of 60 to 66 
His Majesty has received intelligence from Captain Phillips, on his passage to Botany Bay, dated from the Brazils, which states, that he has had a prosperous voyage, and has only lost seven of the convicts since his departure from this country. He states his plan at large, which is founded in good sense and observation. He does not mean that any of the convicts shall be sent ashore, till a strong fortress is erected, in order to keep them in proper subjection, which the more effectually to confirm, the provisions are to be administered to them daily in proportion to their industry in the cultivation of the island. The Captain writes in the most sanguine terms, as to the probable success of his enterprise, and hopes to see the time when the place shall be of more use to this country, than merely draining it of its degraded inhabitants.
The establishment at Sierra Leona is said to have entirely miscarried: Mr. Irwin died there, and his family have since returned to England; the Rev. Mr. Frazier as yet continues, but expects to leave it in the spring with the remaining white people that may reside there at the time.
Extract of a letter from Constantinople, November 6.
"The Captain Pacha arrived here the 3d inst. His return has spread universal joy, and especially in the heart of the Grand Vizir. He was immediately presented to the Sultan, who received him with open arms, and showed how greatly he was satisfied with the services he had rendered the Empire, especially in the present circumstances. As a proof of the firmness and courage of that faithful officer, we shall mention the following discourse, which he addressed to the Grand Signior."
"If I had been at Constantinople in August last, when the declaration of war against Russia was in agitation, and my advice had been followed, the Porte never would have agreed to such a rupture; it is evident how much the forces of Catherine II. are superior to ours, especially if we consider her as the ally of the Roman King; the Divan then would have had time to have reflected, and not have dared the fury of two such powerful enemies. But since it is so, and the Almighty has permitted the peace to be broken, remember, O Abdul Hamid, the happy reigns of Solyman and Mahomet, who not only lowered the pride of the Infidels, but likewise considerably extended the frontiers of the Ottoman empire, at the expence of our neighbors, who provoked us to it. The blood that flows in the veins of the faithful Mussulmen is still the same as it was then, and the examples of their Chiefs alone will rouse their courage; for the rest we have nothing to fear. As for me, I see no other means, in the present circumstances, of saving the honor and dignity of so illustrious and extended an empire as ours, than to engage. I come from conquering and dispersing the Egyptian rebels, though powerful and remote from the capital. I feel myself still strong, though far advanced in years, and worn out by the battles I have fought against the enemies of the empire. I advise you to lose no time, and instead of charging me with the affairs of this capital, as the Grand Vizir desires, I think it much better for your Highness to give me the command of the fleet in the Black Sea; for I desire, and have courage enough, to engage the enemy; and a subject capable of rendering the most important services by engaging the enemy should not be kept here merely to quell a popular tumult. I assure you, that if I am placed at the head of all the fleet, including the vessels which I have brought back from Egypt, which are not less than 60 ships, 30 at least of which are of the line, the Russians shall find whom they have to deal with. We know their forces in the Black Sea are much inferior to ours. The enemy's fleet can only oppose us with 400 guns at most, whilst we can meet them with above 800. I will succour Oczakow, and endeavor to succeed in an enterprise against Kinburn, which, besides, has only a little fortress scarce able to hold 300 men in its garrison. I am in hopes of beating the Russians in the Black Sea. All our maritime forces may re-unite there before their fleet can descend by the Baltic. It would be bad to form our plan so as to be obliged to divide our forces to defend ourselves in the Archipelago, as it happened during last war, in which fate ordained the Ottoman empire to lose the chief and best part of her naval forces by the fire of Tschehme."
Letters received over land advise us of the total defeat of Shaich Twiney, by So-
liman the Pacha of Bagdat, in October last, near Agra, on the banks of the Euphrates. The usurper, after a desperate conflict of several hours, was fortunate enough to escape with a few followers. The Pacha shortly afterwards made his triumphal entry into Bassora, and re-assumed the government, without any disturbance, where every thing remained in the utmost tranquillity. Shaich Twiney took possession of Bassora the 6th of May last; his usurpation has not therefore been of long duration. His reign, short as it was, has not been stained by any acts of cruelty or rapacity: to the English he was ever most friendly, respectful, and attentive. As a man, and as a Prince, for he was a Chief of the Mon-tific Arabs, a powerful tribe, take him for "all in all" he was deserving of better fortune: his enemies allowed him courage, enterprize and liberality. His usurpation he defended on these grounds:—"That his ancestors had enjoyed, for a long period, the quiet possession of Bassora, then a distinct Pachalic, with the very honorable title of Pacha of Three Tails! That although circumstances had deprived his family of so distinguished an honor of more than a century, yet the moment capricious fortune placed him at the head of his tribe, he had so far suffered the general good to overcome his pretensions, as to strain every nerve in procuring the separate appointment of Pacha of Bassora for Soliman, whose ingratitude, and total inattention to the duties of his office, had determined him to take upon himself the reins of government."
Extract of a letter from Venice, Dec. 16.
"An order of the Senate has just been given for reinforcing the fleet now on a cruise among the Islands at the mouth of the Adriatic, with six men of war, three of which are to be of 60 guns. This extraordinary demand has been occasioned by advices received, that a Turkish squadron has entered into the Levant, and seems bending its course this way, and though no hostile intentions are expected, the government are determined to provide for the worst, and not permit any surprise. A Turkish fleet is never suffered to enter this sea."
Extract of a letter from Paris, Jan. 4.
"The edict, in favor of the French Protestants, has not yet passed; new obstacles have arisen, which will, at all events, delay the enregistrement of it for some time to come. The Parliament of Paris, no longer ago than yesterday se'nnight, passed a decree, by which they bound themselves, and insisted on the recal of their exiled Members, as an ultimatum to their passing the Protestant Bill. The King has expressed great dissatisfaction at their proceedings."
"The exile of the Members of the Parliament of Paris, has not deterred others from making use of the same liberty of speech. The States of Brittany, with the Bishop of Dol at their head, waited on his Majesty last week, with a warm remonstrance against the edict in its present form. The Bishop, who was the speaker on the occasion, at first entered very warmly into all the advantages and evils which might arise from it, to the political state of the kingdom; and when the other Members withdrew, he requested a private audience of his Majesty, which being granted, he then entered into the matter, as interesting to the established religion of the country. He spoke for a quarter of an hour, with a warmth and zeal for the Catholic church, which carried him beyond the bounds of that respect which was due to his Majesty; observing, that instead of proposing an edict which might weaken the true Catholic faith, and thereby endanger the throne of monarchy, the King ought to pass an edict, enjoining the Clergy, Bishops, and even the Archbishops, to be more vigilant and active in their spiritual concerns, and leave to the laity, the more temporal affairs of state; that the negligence of the Ecclesiastics of every class, in every branch of their duty, had already brought the Catholic church of France to so low a state, that that it might be doubted, whether in a few years, even the name of a Catholic would be known in the kingdom. He concluded with saying, that he had heard of the exile and imprisonment of some, who had virtue and courage enough to advise his Majesty to better measures; that for his part, he feared neither the one nor the other, he spoke the dictates of his conscience, and the duty of his functions. He had been long exiled from the vanities of the court and the world, by a close and religious observance of the duty which he owed to the diocese committed to his care; and as to imprisonment, his conscience and faith, he doubted not, would support him under any affliction. After dinner, the Bishop received an order to retire to his diocese."
"We hear, that two of his Sicilian Majesty's galleys, being on a cruise off Mogadore on the coast of Algiers, pursued and took a pirate of 20 guns and 100 men, who had come out of port that very morning. The prize was sent to Naples; and while the vessel was lying at the mole, under a guard of 300 soldiers, a young Nobleman, then bathing, was seized with a cramp and im-
mediately sunk, in the presence of numbers, who attempted nothing for his relief. A Moor, who happened to see this unfortunate accident from the gunwhale of the prize, instantly jumped into the water, swam towards the place where the Nobleman went down, and in his rise caught him in his arms, tied a handkerchief round his shoulder, one end of which he fastened to his own, and thus embarrassed brought him safe ashore. The drowned person soon recovered, and was carried home in his father's carriage, which waited on the bank. The Marquis de Balucchi, whose son was thus preserved by the Barbarian, would not be outdone in generosity. He immediately went to the palace, and being introduced by General Acton, an English gentleman in the King's service, fell on his knees, and begged the liberty of the gallant Moor. "Your request, replied his Majesty, is both reasonable and humane, the Moor is yours, and you may dispose of him as you please; the remainder of the crew are mine, and perpetual slaves by the laws of war, but they are free from this moment. Ten righteous persons would have saved Sodom from the wrath of the Almighty; and shall not one gallant and virtuous man, who has risked his life for his enemy, and rescued a fellow-citizen from imminent death, merit the pardon of a few companions from an earthly Monarch?" Next day an order was published for releasing the vessel, which failed for Algiers amidst the acclamations of the populace; and by way of thanks, saluted the palace with twenty-five, and the city with twelve guns."
NEW-YORK, April 17.
Yesterday arrived the sloop Experiment, Capt. Dean.
The brig Governor Clinton, Capt. Phoenix, is arrived at the Canary Islands.
THE CHARGE of his Honor Chief Justice MORRIS, delivered to the Grand Jury, on Tuesday, at the City-Hall.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,
ALL Offences committed within this City and County, from Treasons to Trespasses, are the objects of your enquiry; and the Sheriff's calendar will furnish you with those offenders that are in custody, and their offences.
The late public tumults in this City require your immediate and vigilant attention: common report ascribes their rise to some very indecent and impious plunder of dead bodies from their graves in the several church yards. If this report is founded in truth, which undoubtedly it is, you will readily account for the resentment that has seized the minds of the remaining relatives of such deceased persons—It is an apology for many indiscretions; but, gentlemen, our laws are competent to punish any degree of guilt, and a vigilant and minute enquiry by so respectable a Grand Jury cannot fail to fix the offence upon the real offenders, that they may be brought to justice, the laws of our country satisfied, and the minds of our good citizens quieted, in the fullest confidence, that the ashes of their relatives shall rest in peace in their graves.
Permit me, gentlemen, to press this business upon you, and to beg it may be the first you attend to, the peace and good order of the city being of the utmost importance to every good citizen.
I have the fullest confidence, gentlemen, that when the public are satisfied that you have undertaken the business, and that a careful and attentive examination will by you be made, uneasiness will cease, and order will be restored.
When this is gone through, it becomes your duty, gentlemen, to enquire into the late riot; and though it might be palliated in the first stages of it, yet, after every search was made to satisfy the wishes of the people, the attack upon the goal, and the insults offered to the Magistrates, were altogether inexcusable, and in their tendency threaten the very subversion of Government. You will therefore make it an object of your attention and examination. With these observations, and a perfect reliance on your vigorous exertions, I dismiss you.
The Grand Jury for the city and county of New-York, deeply impressed with the importance of the above charge, have requested permission of his Honor the Chief Justice to publish the same.
And being anxious to discover the perpetrators of the offences therein mentioned, do request those persons who can give any information that may lead to a discovery, will acquaint them therewith, during their present sitting, at Simmons's Tavern, in Wall-street.
By order of the Grand Jury, WILLIAM NELSON, Foreman. New-York, April 15, 1788.

By S. and R. CAMPBELL, No. 44, Hanover-square, and T. ALLEN, No. 16, Queen-street,
The American Songster:
Being a select Collection of the most celebrated Ame- rican, English, Scotch and Irish Songs. "Music has charms to sooth a savage breast," "To soften rocks, and bend the knotted oak." Virg. Price, neatly bound and lettered, Five Shillings.
To the Lovers of Music in the United
States of America. Ladies and Gentlemen,
IT has been a subject of considerable regret, that a Collection of the best Modern Songs, not only the production of America, but likewise those of Bri- tain has never before appeared on this continent.
To remedy which, the Editors have been at con- siderable labor in collecting from the most esteemed Song Books, published in Europe, a compilation, suitable in some degree to this country.
To this collection the Fair Americans may safely have recourse, without the fear of a blu upon their cheeks, or offending the most rigid virtue; nor can the gentlemen be more pleased by the particular at- tention shown to the ladies than by the compliment we pay to their good sense, in avoiding all manner of indecent song, and double entendres.
Here will be found a number of original songs, the production of the American Muse: we are only sorry it has not been in our power to collect a greater number of these at the present time. But provid- ing the present volume meets with encouragement from the Public, the Editors have it in contempla- tion to publish a second, when they flatter themselves they will be able to exhibit most of the principal songs w're in the United States. However, if in this collection we have put a cheerful and enter- taining companion into the hands of the ladies and gentlemen of America, we trust, on their part, they will encourage the rising arts of their native country, which will particularly oblige their very humble ser- vants, The PUBLISHERS.

M O N T M O R I N.
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 abundant in 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 vested in trustees 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 Delafield, New-York; General Heister, Reading; John Hubley, Esq. Lancaster; Mr. Heckenvelder, Bethlehem; Major Isaac Craig, Fort Pitt; and Colonel Stephen Bayard, Elizabeth-Town, Westmoreland County. ISAAC MELCHER. Philadelphia, Sept. 1, 1787.
EXTRACT. Page to, 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."
Those who are desirous of further information respecting the soil and situation of Montmorin, are referred to Governor St. Clair, General Irvine, Geo. Morgan and Matthew Clarkson, Esquires, or any other gentleman acquainted in the Western Country. April 5. tf.
