LONDON, July 12. Extracts from the MADRAS COURIER of the 9th of January, 1788.
By the Yarmouth, lately arrived from China, we learn, that the disturbances which have been for some years fermenting in the Island of Formosa, have at length ripened into a revolt. The Islanders, intent on their darling object, after having encountered innumerable difficulties, determined on making the effort that was necessary to destroy the shackles of tyrannic oppression, and obtain the inestimable blessings of liberty. Thus resolved, they assembled all the forces they could collect together, and rushed on to engage their despotic masters, the Chinese. The contest was unequal—the Chinese were greatly superior in point of number, but they wanted the animated ardor that glowed in the breasts of their adversaries. The Islanders prevailed—ten thousand Chinese were left on the field of battle—numbers were made prisoners, and the remainder have retired to some secure sea-port, there to wait a reinforcement, or to embrace the first opportunity of returning to the Continent.
The latest, and most authentic advices from the Prince of Wales's Island, give the brightest idea of the encroaching prosperity of that infant settlement. The inhabitants of the adjacent islands have deserted their native lands, and placed themselves under the government of their present patron, Governor Light; so that the inhabitants are become extremely numerous; the people on the Continent are in the most friendly habits with the English, and as they are generally exasperated against the Dutch, they will give us the preference in all commercial transactions, which will alone give an uncommon splendor to this favored island.
January 16.
We are favored with the following account of a mutiny in the fort of Osoor, belonging to Tippoo Sultan; and situated near Bangalore. The fort was garrisoned by a body of troops known by the name of Chaylals. These are the young captives taken by the Musselmans in their barbarous wars, driven from their own country, and forced by the cruel policy of their conquerors at once into their religion and service. They are seduced however into a sort of willing submission, by particular indulgencies and privileges. Among others, the grand temptation of the Mahometan religion is not forgotten. The most beautiful women are not wanting to solace the servitude of the Chaylals—Unfortunately the fame of some eminent beauties of Circassia, within the walls of Osoor, reached the ears of the tyrant Sultan. He issued his mandate, to bring by force the female victims to his palace. When the order was communicated to the garrison, instantly to surrender the women, they on the instant resolved to disobey, and stand on their defence. They seized on the officer who gave the order, and put themselves in possession of the fort, and enjoyed, with every possible rejoicing, their momentary triumph—Alas! of too short duration. The troops of the Sirear appeared, and soon overpowered by numbers the unfortunate garrison; who, conquered, however, in effect, and snatched in death the object of the victory from the tyrant—sacrificing the women with themselves in one common ruin.
JULY 15.
A letter from Havre de Grace, by the last mail, says, "We are all at present in the utmost confusion here. Two regiments this morning laid down their arms, when the magistrates interfered, and a great scuffle ensued, by which the chief magistrate and seven men were killed on the spot, where this will end no body knows. At Bretagne they are equally riotous, inasmuch that many of the inhabitants have left the town."
JULY 16.
The Stock Exchange are exceedingly alarmed at the present posture of affairs. They dread least the threatened conflict between Russia and Sweden, should involve Prussia, in which case Great Britain must, by the late treaty, take a part. In the contingency of events this is possible, but it is not likely. The Russians will scarcely dare to bully Prussia; and it is so much our solid and permanent interest to preserve Russia from the effects of her own folly, that there is no doubt, but through her means, Prussia will become a mediator, rather than an enemy.
JULY 17.
A meeting of the Bank directors and monied men in the city was held on Monday last, to consider of means to prevent the further inconveniences of the late very numerous bankruptcies, and to establish credit on a basis not to be easily shaken in future. The scheme has been laid before the treasury board.
Extract of a letter from Shrewsbury, July 9.
"Just as the chimneys had done going this morning at four o'clock, near the whole of St. Chadd's church fell, that is from the gable end near Chadd's hill to the communion table. The organ is beat to pieces, which cost 500. Only part of the tower is standing, and that expected to fall every minute; the ten bells are buried in the ruins. Providentially no lives were lost, as it happened so early in the morning."
ROSEAU, (Dominica) August 25.
On Thursday last, early in the day, the weather began to wear a very threatening aspect; at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon came on a very heavy shower of rain, which was succeeded by flying drift, when the wind began to blow with much violence from the north west, shifted round to the south west, and presently came in gusts from all quarters of the compass, and continued with great violence till eleven o'clock at night, the latter part chiefly from the westward: The sea rose a great height, beating with great violence against most of the stores on the Bay. The ship Jenny, consigned to Messrs. Brades and Co. fortunately got under way about nine o'clock at night, and stood to sea; a condemned brig, belonging to Stephen Breyes, was driven on shore, but fortunately little other damage was done in town, except to goods in several of the cellars, which were filled with water.
We have already received some melancholy accounts from the country: All the provisions destroyed, the canes, coffee, &c. much injured. We are informed that the dwelling house of Thomas Anketell, Esq. on his estate in the Heights of Soufriere has been entirely blown away, not a vestige to be seen; the Barracks at Cacherou, we are informed, are also destroyed: in short this recent misfortune added to the already distressed state of the colony, casts a gloom upon its citizens and planters which the beams of hope would vainly dissipate, and adds a new claim to the fostering attention of the parent state.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman on the Windward of the Island.
"On the morning of the 15th the body of a Negro was found to the northward of my house; he was a well formed man, had remarkable fine hair, and wanted some of his fore teeth. The wreck of a vessel supposed a Schooner appeared near the same place; part of the cable has been brought to me, it measures about 5 1/2 inches. The timbers are of oak and cedar, from four to five
been found are twenty-four, to thirty inches. The plank or ceiling is also cedar. On one piece there is a horse-shoe nailed. There are several hides floating in the Bay, and some bags with grains of corn have been found. The letter T. on one of them is distinct. A fine cambric neck handkerchief was picked up by one of my people, marked A. P. with silk in the corner. I mention these circumstances as they may tend to the discovery of the unfortunate owners of the vessel."
August 23. Since our last we find our apprehensions but too fatally verified. The possessions of our planters in most parts of the island unhappily exhibits a melancholy picture of devastation, particularly in the provisions. We have, however, perhaps the less to repine when we consider the losses of our neighbors at Martinique:—There a scene of horror presents itself which was never before experienced. The storm far exceeds the dreadful one of 1766. Whole parishes are laid waste, and lives lost to an amount which we are cautious of mentioning, in hopes that from a more accurate recital, they may prove to have been exaggerated. From the Presbyter to Grenada, at La Trinite, four readers must excise our imperfect acquaintance with the geography of the island, and we write without a map before us, an extent of coast, as we understand pretty considerable, not a building is to be seen. At Grenada the sea rushed in, and destroyed all the buildings; carrying out with it, or crumbling with the fall of the houses, upwards of sixty negroes. Most of the plantations lost many slaves.
The gale seems to have taken a northerly direction, and to have been but of a small extent, (perhaps not above ten or twelve leagues) as Saint Lucia did not, as we understand, suffer:—We apprehend from its direction, the S.W. end of Saint Christopher felt it, and are under some apprehensions for Barbadoes.
NEWPORT, Sept. 4.
The examination of the youth under the tuition of Mr. Rogers was attended to the last week, at the academy, in this town.—Their proficiency the last six months, in the English, Latin and Greek languages, and other branches of learning, as it evinced the attention of the instructors, and application of the youth, gave pleasure to the committee of the academy, and met the approbation of the gentlemen of literary abilities who attended on the occasion.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 24.
Yesterday arrived the brig Fame, Trowbridge, from St. Croix, in 17 days.
At Edinburgh, in Scotland, the Rev. Mr. ADAM GRAY, minister of the gospel to the Associate Congregation, departed this life on the 18th of June last, aged 75 years. He was the oldest member of the Associate Synod, a warm friend to the American Revolution. Few divines in the present age possess a greater share of theological knowledge, or inherit more of the heroic spirit of the Reformers, than he did. The eulogium pronounced at the interment of Mr. John Knox, the Scots Reformer, may with great propriety be applied to Mr. Gib. "Here lies a man that never feared the face of man."
SHIPNEWS.
Nassau August 16. The Schooner Federalist, Lowry, from Charleston for Teneriffe, on the 5th of July last, the day after leaving port, sprung a leak, but not so great as to occasion putting back. On the 19th, at ten, P. M. met with a severe gale in the neighbourhood of Bermuda, which laid her down four breaks of the deck upon her starboard side, and had not the cabin doors been well secured, must have foundered. Cut away her mainmast; after getting clear of it, veered righted—in about an hour after, by great exertions at both pumps, freed her—found, that by heavily pitching she had sprung the bowsprit—Every thing on deck was washed away except the boat, which had been previously secured by lashing to the scuppers.—About five next morning the gale began to abate. As soon as the weather would permit, got up the main-boom for a jury-mast, and bore away for this port. On the 7th instant received a supply of water from a Frenchman, and on the 11th arrived here in great distress, the crew being much exhausted by continually working at the pumps.
From Turk's Islands we are informed, that intelligence was received there of the gale of the 19th of July, being severely felt at Bermuda, where the wind blew with such violence, as to destroy several vessels on the stocks.

Extracts from the Journal of Congress.
MONDAY, Sept. 1, 1788.
Resolved, That the Secretary at war be, and he is hereby directed to have a sufficient number of the troops in the service of the United States in readiness to march from the Ohio to the protection of the Cherokees, whenever Congress shall direct the same; and that he take measures for obtaining information of the best routes for troops to march from the Ohio to Chota, and for dispersing among all the white inhabitants settled upon or in the vicinity of the hunting grounds secured to the Cherokees by the treaty concluded between them and the United States, November 28, 1785, the proclamation of Congress of this date.
Resolved, That copies of the said proclamation, and of these resolutions, be transmitted to the executives of Virginia and North-Carolina, and that the said states be and they are hereby requested to use their influence that the said proclamation may have its intended effect, to restore peace and harmony between the citizens of the United States and the Cherokees, and to prevent any further invasions of their respective rights and possessions; and in case Congress shall find it necessary to order troops to the Cherokee towns to enforce a due observance of the said treaty; that the said states be and they are hereby requested to co-operate with the said troops for enforcing such observance of that treaty.
Resolved, That the papers which have been transmitted to Congress concerning certain hostilities alleged to have been committed by John Sevier and others on the Cherokee Indians at Chota, be referred to the executive of North Carolina, and that the said executive be and they hereby are earnestly requested to cause enquiry to be made into the said hostilities, and to take measures for having the perpetrators thereof apprehended and punished.
WEDNESDAY, September 3, 1788.
On a report of a committee consisting of Mr. Clark, Mr. Williamson and Mr. Maddox, to whom was referred a memorial of John Estlin, of Bethlehem, president of the Brethrens Society, for propagating the gospel among the heathen.
Whereas the United States in Congress assembled, by their ordinance of the 20th of May, 1785, among other things ordained, that the towns of Gnaden-hutten, Schoenbrun and Salem, with lands adjoining to the said towns, be reserved for the
settled there, or the remains of that society; and by an act of the 27th July, 1787, directed the board of treasury to except and reserve out of any contract they might make pursuant to an order of the 23d of the same month, a quantity of land around and adjoining to each of the before mentioned towns, amounting in the whole to ten thousand acres, and ordered the property of the said towns and reserved lands to be vested in the Moravian Brethren at Bethlehem in Pennsylvania, or the Society of the said brethren for civilizing the Indians and promoting Christianity (or, as they are called, the Society of the United Brethren for propagating the Gospel among the heathen) in trust and for the uses expressed in the said ordinance, including others, as mentioned in the said act of 27th July, 1787; and whereas it has been agreed that the plat of each of the towns should be estimated at 666 2-3 acres, so that each town and the reserved land adjoining, shall make a tract of four thousand acres; and whereas the remnant of the said Christian Indians are desirous of returning to their towns as speedily as possible, and the united brethren to facilitate this without loss of time, have offered to advance the expenses of surveying the three tracts on condition they be repaid either in money or land.
Ordered, That the geographer of the United States survey or cause to be surveyed, as speedily as possible, without interfering with the business he is sent to execute; the three tracts of Gnaden-hutten, Schoenbrun and Salem on the Muskingum, including the reserved land adjoining each of the said towns, and return plats thereof to the board of treasury, that deeds may be issued for the same as is mentioned above; and that he also survey or cause to be surveyed, the intermediate spaces, if any there be, between the said three tracts, and return plats thereof with an account of the expense to the board of treasury; and that the said board, provided it can be done without infringing any contract they may have already made, convey the same to the said United Brethren, or the society of the said brethren for propagating the gospel among the heathen, upon their paying for the said intermediate spaces, or spaces, when the said surveys shall be returned by the geographer, at the rate at which such lands are granted to others, and also the expenses attending the surveying and plotting the said spaces, deducting the sum advanced for surveying the three tracts; provided that in case any of the above-mentioned lands shall fall within the supposed bounds of the million of acres reserved for the late army, that the said bounds shall be understood to extend so far to the westward as to include the million of acres exclusive of the above-mentioned lands.
From a little English Piper.
MR. PRESTER, The many accounts we meet with of prodigious journeys made in Eng/land, by celebrated walkers, induces me to send you a real, and well authenticated fact, of an Irish running-footman, which in my opinion, far exceeds any thing of the kind, that has since happened.
"About sixty years ago, the great 'Squire Mervyn, (a name now utterly extinct) who possessed estates in this kingdom, which are now computed to be worth 70,000l. per year, lived at the family mansion-house, Castle-Mervyn, near Trellick, being eighty-four miles from Dublin, and having occasion to send an express to Lord Carteret, then Lord Lieutenant, had a favorite running footman, one Owen McMahon, on whose fidelity and dispatch he could most depend; having given him a charge to use his utmost endeavors, he dismissed him from Castle-Mervyn, at eight o'clock in the morning, telling him, "he hoped to see him return in three days from Dublin Castle." On the second morning after, Mr. Mervyn getting out of bed at eight o'clock, saw his footman walking before his chamber windows, waiting for his arising, being naturally choleric, he immediately supposed that McMahon had lost the dispatches, and was returned for fresh ones, and running out, in a fury, to chastise him with his cane—his faithful servant dropped upon his knees and presented him with a letter from Lord Carteret, himself, dated Dublin Castle, nine o'clock, the preceding morning. Thus in forty-eight hours, was the amazing walk of one hundred and sixty-eight Irish miles performed, in the following manner, viz.—He arrived at Dublin Castle, at five o'clock in the morning, in twenty-one hours, (two of which he had spent in refreshment, on the way) and was permitted by the Castle-guard to repose himself on the guard-bed till eight o'clock, that his excellency would be up:—he was detained one hour after, waiting for his answer; left the Castle at nine o'clock, and was at Castle-Mervyn, the next morning at eight, or in twenty-three hours, of which two hours deducted for refreshment, leave twenty one hours, added to nineteen walking hours going, total forty hours, performing a journey of one hundred and sixty-eight miles (of our measure) or four one-fifth every hour—a performance, which probably no man living, in the present day, could execute, especially as the road for forty miles, going, and returning, was very full of hills, and in those times, generally rough and badly made. This footman lived to a great age, and as long as the Mervyn race lived, was always supported by their benefice.
"This account is most undoubtedly true, as I had it from Mr. Mervyn's own lips, more than fifty years ago, and thought it so astonishing, that I noted it down."

For the DAILY ADVERTISER.
IT Seems that a number of gentlemen are doubtful whether Mr. Maxwell resigned his nomination for Alderman of the North-ward at the ensuing election. The committee to whom Mr. Maxwell declared his resignation have permitted their names to be left with the Printer. It is however conceived Mr. Maxwell has too great a respect for truth to suffer the fact to be longer doubted.
