ELPING & VARICK, STORM & SICKLES. January 4, 1787. 60 4

From the Edinburgh Advertiser. Some account of the Comte de Vergennes, present Prime Minister of France.
HE Comte de Vergennes, formerly known by the name of Chevalier de Vergennes whilst he was Ambassador at Constantinople, is the youngest son of a President in the Parliament of Dijon (which place answers to the rank of a Judge in this country). His family name is Gra-
vier , and his ancestors, for several generations, have ranked in the province among the noblest robe (gentlemen of the law). His eldest brother, who has lately been promoted to the rank of an Ambassador to Switzerland, was himself President of the same Court, till the promotion of his brother to the ministry of foreign affairs.
Mr. de Vergennes received the first rudiments in politics from Mr. de Chavigny his uncle, a man known in the beginning of this century as the first politician in Europe. After having been employed in several embassies, Mr. de Chavigny was consulted by the French ministry in every occurrence where experience and knowledge were requisite. Mr. de Vergennes was brought up under the tuition of that celebrated negotiator, who died a few years ago at the age of 96. His nephew, Comte de Vergennes, is now about 65 years old.
Comte de Maurepas, who has lately been above 10 years the first Minister of France, after having been 25 years in exile, and before that 20 years a Minister, was the bosom friend of Mr. de Chavigny. He appointed Comte de Vergennes to the residence of Treves (Triers), which was his first appointment; then to the diet of Ratibon; from whence he was recalled after his patron's dismissal, but soon afterwards appointed to the embassy of Constantinople. Sunk in a kind of oblivion in the Turkish empire, Mr. le Comte de Vergennes employed the time he passed there in study; and has been often heard to declare, that he is indebted to that kind of confinement for all his political knowledge.
The war between the Russians and the Turks being of great consequence to France, whenever there is any dispute on the continent, Mr. le Comte de Vergennes at the breaking out of the late German war, embroiled so well the Divan and the Cabinet of Peterburgh, and has left so good instructions to his successors, that, ever since that time, the Divan has been entirely subservient to the views of France, whenever she has had occasion to prevent the joint efforts of the Northern Confederacy against her allies. Three successful attempts of Mr. de Vergennes have stamped his plans with the admiration, if not the approbation, of all the world.
During his residence at Constantinople, Mr. de Vergennes was united to a Grecian lady of great beauty and talents, by whom he has had two sons, who are both in the military line.
At the end of fourteen years, whilst Mr. de Choiseul was the first minister of France, the Comte de Vergennes was recalled from Constantinople at his own desire, and soon after chosen by that Minister, who knew the extent of confidence that could be reposed in him, to go to Stockholm, to detach certain men, by his political influence, from the interest of Russia. This negotiation succeeded so well, that the most extraordinary revolution in the government of that country which we have witnessed, was effected by that able negotiator's directions.
At the death of Louis XV. the Comte de Maurepas, who was called by the present King to assist him in the government of his kingdom, seeing he could not support long his nephew, the Duke d'Aiguillon, as Minister of foreign affairs, thought of Comte de Vergennes to succeed to his department, and pointed him out to his Sovereign as the properest man to fill that high employment. The French Monarch having an unbounded confidence in Comte de Maurepas, though he had the firmness to reject the Duke d'Aiguillon, Comte's nephew, for whom he had a personal dislike, caused a letter to be written to the Comte de Vergennes, then at Stockholm, that he was appointed a Minister and Secretary of State for foreign affairs.
All the world has witnessed, since the promotion of Comte de Vergennes to the ministry, the several negotiations which he has undertaken, and in which he has but too well succeeded for this country. The unfortunate revolution of America, and the dismembering of our empire; the detaching Holland from our alliance, and effecting an union of the States General with France; shew Comte de Vergennes's qualifications and talents for the high employment he fills in his country.
We need not remind our readers, that, by his being instrumental in the peace concluded between the Emperor and the King of Prussia, Comte de Vergennes rendered those Sovereigns neutral spectators of our unfortunate contest with America; that, by his exertions, the Turkish empire and Russia have been twice prevented from going to war within these few years; that the armed neutrality was planned by that Minister, and their commerce greatly protected by it during the war. The extent of the commercial concerns of France since Comte de Vergennes's accession to the ministry, is a farther proof of his great abilities; his pacific dispositions, and his talents for inspiring with the same dispositions those he negotiates with, are peculiarly remarkable, of which the commercial treaty just concluded with Great-Britain is a decisive proof.
Retired in a small but neat house near Versailles, Mr. de Vergennes is constantly occupied in the duties of his office, and every day is in conference with each of the first Clerks in the several departments intrusted to his care. Unawed by intrigue, he looks no farther than the line of his duty to remain in place; and with all its strength, a renowned party at the French Court has not been able to lessen him in the opinion of his Sovereign.
It has been observed that Mr. de Vergennes is rather slow in business; but when it is considered that slowness is perhaps the cause of his constantly keeping to business, and that his perspicacity to judge is the result of mature deliberation, that defect itself will appear as a qualification in a place of that consequence.
Healthy, strong in constitution, exceedingly temperate, Mr. le Comte de Vergennes rides and walks every day for above two hours, and devotes all the rest of his time to business, or to the private enjoyments of domestic life. His circle of acquaintance, which might be the most extensive in the kingdom, is exceedingly circumscribed by his own choice; and that indefatigable man is seldom to be seen any where but at his own house or office. The Minister with whom he is upon the most intimate foot-
ing is the Minister of finance (Mr. de Calonne) being himself the superintendent of the council of that department. With the other Ministers, Messrs. de Calvies and de Breteuil, he is upon a very cool footing. It may even be said, that, in respect to the last, their dispositions are in some degree hostile; the Baron, on account of the neutral part Mr. de Vergennes took in Cardinal de Rohan's affair, having been exceedingly offended. But Mr. de Vergennes fears no enemy, and his Royal Master listens to no reports either against him or against Mariscal de Castries, looking upon them both as the most honest men he could put at the head of his councils. This discrimination of the French Monarch is equally honorable to his Majesty and the two Ministers who have the confidence of their Sovereign.
THE New-York Society for promoting useful knowledge, request communications from such gentlemen in the country (as are practically acquainted with the subject) respecting the insect destroying the wheat. As the wish of the Society is to obtain the most accurate history of the nature and progress of this insect, in hopes to be able to discover some effectual remedy against its ravages, it is hoped that all persons, capable of giving useful information, will freely communicate it.
The Society particularly request to be informed, When the insect first made its appearance in any particular part of the country?
Whether it continues to increase, is on the decline, or has left that part of the country?
What other kinds of grain, besides wheat, it is known to attack?
Whether it has ever been known to attack any kind of summer grain, and what kinds?
At what seasons of the year it appears in its several states of fly, worm and chrysalis, and how long it continues in each state?
How often in a year has it been seen to assume the fly state?
Has it ever been observed in its fly state after a severe frost, such as we frequently have in September and October? Has it not been found that wheat or rye, sown after such frost, has escaped the fly?
Does it equally attack grain sown in rich or poor soil?
Have any remedies been discovered against it?
Communications upon this or any other useful subject, directed to the Secretary of the Society, will be thankfully received.

A Number of gentlemen of reputation having associated themselves for the purpose of enquiring into the circumstances of persons confined in the gaol of this city for debt, and affording such relief as their necessities require, invite the charitable disposed citizens of New-York to deposit such sums, as they may be willing to contribute for that purpose, in the hands of the Rev. Dr. ROGERS, Rev. Mr. BEACH, Rev. Mr. LYNN, or LAWRENCE EMBREE; and they may rest assured that the same shall be faithfully applied for that purpose.
The several Printers in New-York are requested to insert the above in their respective papers, and continue it so long as shall be deemed necessary to answer the design of its publication.

EDINBURGH, October 3.
It is with the greatest concern that we lay before our readers the following letter, giving the melancholy account of the loss of the ship Mercury , Capt. Davidson, which sailed from Leith on the 21st September for Gibraltar, with artificers for the garrison there:
Extract of a letter from Dunkirk, to a gentleman in Leith, dated Sept. 26, 1785.
"We are extremely sorry to inform you, that your ship Mercury , Thomas Davidson, master, was wrecked on a sand-bank, about six miles off this coast, last Sunday, about 7 o'clock in the evening; at nine she went to pieces, and we apprehend all the people on board, except John Paterson, carpenter, and Walter Montgomery, a passenger, were drowned. These two men floated all night on part of the wreck, and yesterday morning, about 10 o'clock, were taken up by our pilot-boat, and brought on shore here, having their legs and other parts of their bodies much bruised. The moment we were informed of the dismal accident, we flew to the assistance of these unfortunate men, got them conveyed to a convenient lodging, where we ordered them a supply of every thing they stood in need of in their distressed situation, and a doctor to attend them, who assures us they are in a fair way of recovery. We are just now told, that two others were taken up, and carried to a village called Mar-dyck, about three miles to the wellward of this port, that one of them is since dead, and the other is not likely to recover. We have not yet been able to learn their names. Some pieces of the wreck, and other trifling articles, have been cast on shore, and some taken up by boats which went out on purpose. These articles are deposited in the Admiralty ware-house."
The following is a list of the unfortunate persons who were on board the Mercury when she was wrecked:
  Passengers, men, - 59   Ditto, women, - 28   Ditto, children, - 14   Captain and crew, - 12   Total, 113 
These unhappy people were mostly artificers and tradesmen in the prime of life, from Edinburgh, Leith and the neighbourhood, and have left a numerous list of friends and connections to lament their untimely fate.
By a vessel arrived in the Frith from the sound we learn, that a great number of vessels had been put on shore on the coast of Norway, and in the Cattagate, in the gale of the 14th. No particulars are yet received.
UNITED STATES.
NEW-YORK, JANUARY 19.
We are told that several of the inhabitants of the county of Worcester in Massachusetts, who had opposed government, took the oath of allegiance previous to the first of January inst. Happy should we feel, could we inform the public, that the commotions in these western counties of that State had subsided; that peace and harmony were again restored; and that a redress of any real or supposed grievances, would be sought for hereafter only in a proper channel, which could not fail to produce unanimity among all classes of people. We still pray for the peace of our Jerusalem—still hope for the restoration of public tranquility—and with the time not to be far off, when we shall with pleasure take each other by the hand, and with rapture say, "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for BRETHREN to dwell together in unity."
Extract of a letter from Cassell, to a gentleman in this city.
"On the 30th of July, arrived at Cassell, Lord Dalrymple, as extraordinary envoy, with two heralds, who brought the insignia of the Garter to the Present Landgrave, William the Ninth; and on the 14th of August, his Serene Highness was invested with that most noble order, with the usual solemnities."
"It is said the deceased Landgrave, Frederick the Second, has left 58 millions of rix-dollars."
A letter from Taunton, of the 21st ult. lays "While I am writing I am informed, that Mrs. T—— has made a piece of cloth, for blanketing, out of the hair from the hides which her husband tans. This is a laudable example of industry and frugality, and deserves imitation."

SIR,
I HAVE the honor to deliver the Sword directed to be presented to you by the United States in Congress assembled, the 29th of October, 1781.
The approbation of your country will, I am persuaded, be peculiarly grateful to a mind like yours formed for honorable pursuits.
The satisfaction I experience in the performance of my duty in this instance is enhanced from the consideration of your connection with the corps of Artillery, and with my highly esteemed friend the late General Greene.
The expectation of your arrival in New-York, in order to take your seat in Congress, prevented the Sword being forwarded to you in Georgia immediately on its reception at this office.
I am Sir, With great respect, Your very humble servant, H. KNOX.
The Hon. Major Pierce. New-York, Jan. 13, 1786.
SIR,
My sincere thanks are due to you for the polite manner in which you have been pleased to deliver me the Sword directed to be presented by the United States in Congress assembled, on the 29th October, 1781.
I will preserve it as an honorable testimonial of public notice, and whilst it serves to express the approbation of my country (the greatest reward a soldier can experience) it will likewise serve to awaken in my mind, the remembrance of that great man General Greene, in whose service I obtained it.
Was it possible, Sir, to heighten the gratitude and pleasure I feel on the present occasion, it would be from your consideration of my connection with the corps of artillery, and in the reflection that I once held a commission in that department of the army over which you presided with so much honor and propriety.
I have the honor to be, Sir, With great respect, Your most obedient, and Most humble servant, WM. PIERCE.
On the authority of a gentleman, just arrived in this city, who was present at the conflagration, we communicate to our readers the melancholy intelligence, that, on Monday the 8th instant, at four o'clock in the morning, a fire broke out at Richmond, Virginia, in a store near Mr. Anderson's tavern, in that part of the town called Shokoe; which in a short time made such dreadful progress, as to baffle every effort to extinguish it. Before it ceased, 72 houses, on each side of the street, fell victims to its fury; as also the State Ware-house, laid to have contained at the time 800 hogsheads of Tobacco, 170 only of which were saved. It is very astonishing, that in so capital a town, and where wooden buildings are so numerous, the only efficacious mean of extinguishing a fire, is one engine, which, on the above occasion, was little used, supposed to be owing to the individual exertions of the inhabitants to remove their property.

"A pamphlet written by General Varnum, is now in the press, containing his excellent plea before the Superior Court, at Newport, as also the case of the Judges, who were called to account for their conduct before our Honorable General Assembly."
"The present is the severest winter I have experienced in New-England. The dead here and at Newport have been kept seven days for interment, owing to the uncommon severity of the weather and vast quantities of snow. Many of the inhabitants were destitute of wood, and none could be got in from the country for several days, although the inhabitants here turned out to break the roads. Some of the first small loads that arrived here from a very short distance, were dragged by six oxen and two horses."

"Our paper medium, which has made so much noise among the people, is now on a footing equal to gold and silver. The Governor and Council have determined to issue no more than will just defray the expenses of the war, and to comply with the federal requisition. This sum will not amount to more than 23,000."

"The exchange of Louisiana for a French possession in the West-Indies has never been in question, and if any thing should be again said of it, you will be pleased to contradict it formally."

THE ANSWER of the SENATE of the State of New-York, to the SPEECH of his Excellency GEORGE CLINTON, Esq. Governor of the said State, General and Commander in Chief of all the militia, and Admiral of the navy of the same.
SIR, BEING persuaded, with your Excellency, that our national honor and credit depend upon a punctilious compliance with every requisition of the United States in Congress assembled, made in virtue of the Confederation; the requisition of that Hon. Body, of the 2d of August last, for the services of the last year, will demand our earliest attention; and the additional requisition for the pay and support of the troops, as well as the discharge of such arrears as may be found due on former requisitions, will be duly attended to.
Ever disposed to pay the greatest deference and respect to the recommendations of the United States in Congress assembled, we shall take under our serious consideration, their resolutions of the 11th and 23d of August last, expressive of their sense of our late act for granting to them an impost:—At the same time, your Excellency may be assured that we conceive your conduct, in not convening the Legislature, to reconsider a subject which had so lately been decided—to have been perfectly proper, and is a new instance of your regard to the constitution, and the right of free deliberation.
It gives us the highest satisfaction to find that, while by the Divine Goodness, we enjoy the blessings of peace and good order, the controversy between this State, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, with respect to territory and jurisdiction is finally determined: Suitable provision will be made for our Commissioners, whose conduct in transacting this business, receives our fullest approbation.
We are happy to learn, that to good understanding hath subsisted between the Commissioners for running the line of jurisdiction between this State and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; this circumstance, together with the progress which hath been made in the business, and the economy with which it hath been conducted, reflect much honor on the Gentlemen to whom the trust is committed.
We are highly pleased with your Excellency's communications relative to the militia: The great attention which has been paid in their arrangement, the military spirit and ardor which they discover, give flattering expectations of their future conduct and services.
With your Excellency, we are greatly alarmed at the rapid progress of the insect, in the destruction of our staple commodity, and every means in our power will be used to avert an evil, which threatens such general distress.
We are happy to learn, that very considerable reductions have lately been made of the debts due from the public to the citizens of this State, and being sensible that our public credit, on which the prosperity of the State so much depends, can only be established by a faithful performance of our engagements; we shall therefore always be ready to concur in such further arrangements of our finances, as shall be deemed necessary to answer so important an object.
By order of the Senate, PIERRE VAN CORTLANDT, President. Senate Chamber, January 17th, 1787.
To which his EXCELLENCY made the following REPLY.
Gentlemen, PERMIT me to tender you my warmest acknowledgments for this polite answer, and the obliging manner in which you are pleased to express your approbation of my conduct.
It affords me the highest pleasure to find, that the different measures which have been carried into effect in the recess, give entire satisfaction; and to receive your assurances that the several matters recommended to the consideration of the Legislature, will meet with the attention due to their importance. GEO. CLINTON.

POET'S CORNER.
The PLEASURES of an EVENING'S WALK. TO yonder grove, where lovers true, Do oft repair to tell their tales; Without delays, let I and you Direct our course with hoisted sails. Those western walks the setting sun With radiant beams completely fill; His daily course is nearly run, Beneath the summit of yon hill. View him descend, and spread abroad His golden train through boundless space; View distant worlds, with one accord, Arise as he completes his race. Look to the east, and there behold The Moon with equal pomp arise, Encircled with a robe of gold, Full to our view, ascends the skies. View, through the thick impending leaves, The twinkling stars display their light; In opposition see the reaves Of flashing vapours clear the night. The solemn echo that resounds From ev'ry corner of this grove, Repeats the soft and pleasing sounds That pass between me and my love. Let no intruder pass this way, To listen to our private talk; Let all that we then do or say, Lay dormant in that pleasant walk. Alas! when the sad time is come, That you and I again must part; I'll see you safe unto your home, And leave with you my wounded heart.
