A Correspondent has favoured us with Foreign Prints to the 28th of August, from which we have extracted the following:
DUTCH AFFAIRS.
UTRECHT, August 20.
WE yesterday received an account that some Prussian troops were arrived at Cleves, and that a great number were marching towards the same Place, which is to be the General Quarters. We have this day received a confirmation of their march, and that the said troops, which do not exceed the number of 8000 to 10,000 Men, are to remain in the different Provinces of the Prussian Guelderland, without proceeding any further, and are only intended, as are those in camp of Givet, in France, to support the mediation of their respective Sovereigns. But there is little probability of effecting a conciliation, unless one of the two assemblies which call themselves the State of Utrecht, will give way, and this they seem neither of them inclined to do at present.
August 21. It was generally thought that the attack of this city was decided in the Council at Amersfort and we have been in expectation of its taking place every hour, particularly in the nights of the 18th, 19th, and 17th, from certain preparations which were observed in the Stadt-holderian army. However, nothing has yet occurred, and from the supply of troops and artillery since received in the city, we are in no fear of a surprise.
Hague, Aug. 7. Last Saturday the corps of armed citizens of the province of Holland, presented a declaration to their Noble and Great Mightinesses, by which they require the Hereditary Prince Stadtholder to be suspended from all his charges, and to be banished from the province of Holland, and not to suffer the Princess of Orange and her children to enter the said province as long as the troubles subsist, insisting that justice is sufficient to prevent tumults; and if that authority should be found insufficient, they will take care of it themselves, &c. This declaration has been rendered commissorial.
Aug. 9. A Memorial presented to their Noble and Great Mightinesses the Lords States of Holland and West Friesland, by his Excellency the Baron Thulemeyer, Envoy Extraordinary of his Prussian Majesty.
"Noble, Great, and Mighty Lords."
The underwritten Envoy Extraordinary of his Prussian Majesty has sent to the King his master the resolution which your Noble and Great Mightinesses have remitted him, in answer to his memorial of the 10th of July, concerning the outrage committed on the person of the august Sitter of that Monarch.
"It was with the utmost astonishment his Majesty learned that, instead of satisfying his just demand by the offer of a satisfaction suitable to the insult, you have supported an evasive answer by weak arguments. His Majesty will admit that the pretended ignorance of the motives which conducted her Royal Highness to the Hague, and the apprehension of a popular commotion, can ever excuse the conduct of the commission sitting at Woerden. Such a suspicion publicly announced is a new offence. The word of the Princess, her solemn declaration, that her journey to the Hague was with the most salutary views, such as to reconcile their minds, and to procure a means of reconciliation, ought to have been a full conviction to the Deputies of your Noble and Great Mightinesses. If the people, penetrated with gratitude for the illustrious House of the founders of their liberty and of the Belgic Independence, should have been misled; if the appearance of the august Consort of the Stadtholder had produced any demonstration of joy, so as to disturb the public tranquillity, the means of defending the residence of a Sovereign free from all dangers (apparently exaggerated) was ever in the power of yourselves: besides, the care with which her Royal Highness prevented the proofs of an imprudent zeal, in concealing from the public her intended arrival, was a fresh cause for the gratitude of government."
"It is at the Hague, Noble, Great and Mighty Lords, it is at the place where every citizen ought to enjoy that full liberty established by the wisdom of your ancestors, that a resolution is taken, to refuse the Sitter of a great Monarch, and the Consort of a Prince who enjoys the greatest dignities of your State, admission into the province of Holland."
"The King will not employ himself in looking into the lawfulness of the right of resistance which the commission of Woerden attribute to itself upon this occasion. His Majesty will rather fix his attention on the manner it has been put in execution. The equipage of her Royal Highness was surrounded by soldiers, and her train was more like that of a prisoner of state than of a great Princess, respectable for her illustrious birth, her noble qualities, her virtue, and for her sentiments, which she has always dedicated to the good of the republic. Scarce had her Royal Highness got to Schoonhoven, when guards were placed at every avenue of the house, and an officer even set in her apartment with a drawn sword. Such shameful proceedings have made a deep impression in the mind of the King my master, who looks on the injury as done to himself. It is by the express orders of that Monarch that the underwritten again demands from your Noble, and Great Mightinesses an immediate and proper satisfaction for the insult; and his Majesty moreover enjoins me to inform you, that he will always insist on this satisfaction, and that he will not be content with the discussion of actions, with vague excuses, nor any further delay."
"The King does not forget the regard due to the Republic of the United Provinces, and to the illustrious Assembly of the States-General, which represent the Sovereign of the State; his Majesty
is pleased to applaud with gratitude and sensibility the visible disavowal their High Mightinesses have manifested with regard to the measures adopted in Holland concerning the affair which has given occasion to the present memorial. The testimonies of friendship which the King and his august predecessors have always shown to the Republic of the United Provinces on many interesting and critical occasions authorize His Majesty to expect a just return of regard and satisfaction for the insult in question, which the underwritten is charged again to notify to you. It is, from your prudence, Noble and Great Lords, and from the renewal of your further deliberations on this subject, that the King expects an immediate and satisfactory answer."
(Signed) DE THULEMEYER. Hague, Aug. 6, 1787.
August 14. The following Memorial was presented to the States-General by Sir James Harris, Envoy Extraordinary from his Britannic Majesty:
"High and Mighty Lords,"
"The King, animated with the truest and most sincere sentiments of friendship for your High Mightinesses, cannot without extreme pain see the continuation of the unfortunate troubles which subsist in the republic of the United Provinces; and which by their continuation threaten the most grievous consequences."
"The memorials which the underwritten Envoy-Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary has presented to your High Mightinesses since he had the honor to reside here, have shown that the King his master, as a good friend and neighbour of the Republic, has never ceased desiring to see peace re-established; and his Majesty will be always disposed to co-operate, on his part, in such manner as your High Mightinesses may judge proper."
"His Majesty having observed, that the States of the Provinces of Zealand and Friesland have declared their disposition to ask the mediation of some neighbouring powers (in case that your High Mightinesses judge such intervention necessary) and that that of Zealand has called to mind, on this occasion, the repeated assurances which the King has given of his friendship for the United Provinces: The underwritten has express orders to assure your High Mightinesses that his Majesty has constantly strongly at heart the re-establishment of the tranquillity of the Republic, the preservation of the true constitution, and the maintenance of the just rights and privileges of all its members. His Majesty feels the greatest satisfaction in having reason to think that the internal means, furnished by the constitution itself, have power sufficient to accomplish so salutary an object. But at the same time, if your High Mightinesses are decided, that it is necessary to recur to a foreign mediation, and to invite his Majesty: then, in natural consequence of his affection, and of his good will for the Republic, the King will be eager to prove to your High Mightinesses, his sincere desire to employ all the care that may depend on his Majesty to bring the negotiation to a happy, solid, and permanent issue."
JAMES HARRIS.
August 19. Yesterday we received an account that the auxiliary camp at Woerden had struck their tents, and were marching down by the Rhine. In the evening we received further accounts that they were pursuing their march, apparently towards the Hague, upon which ten men per company were ordered to be under arms, and a detachment sent to Hoornbrug, with strict orders not to let any armed men pass, and to repulse force by force.
This morning the council committee assembled, and resolved to cause the militia to encamp round the Hague, and to leave the detachment at Hoornbrug, with orders to let the Auxiliaries pass but not towards the Hague.
A considerable part of the garrison, both horse and foot, are encamped in the mall, and several detachments posted on the road. All these precautions clearly show the general ferment that prevails. The Magistracy have been assembled and the Burgher Captains have requested to have their different corps under arms, and they were accordingly all ordered to be ready at a moment's warning, and furnished with a good number of rounds of ball cartridges. Various are the reports spread upon these circumstances, and the populace seem quite ripe for the commission of excesses.
We learn that General Vander Dussen, Governor of Bois le Duc, sent a letter to the Council of State, informing them, that for some days past many French soldiers, in troops of ten or twelve, furnished with passports from M. d'Esterhazy, General of the French artillery, and furloughs, to go into a foreign country for a year, have passed through that place in their way to Gorinchem. Upon this four provinces have resolved not to receive the above men; at the same time four provinces resolved to put a stop to the enlisting of men for the province of Holland, and to give notice to that province to cease enlisting as being a concern which only regards the generality.
Leyden, Aug. 21. On the 18th, in the evening, there happened at Zeyt another accident by an explosion of powder, which blew up several houses.
Vienna, Aug. 8. The Count Trautmanstorff is ordered here immediately from the circle of the Upper Rhine, where he fills the charge of Imperial Ambassador, the Emperor having appointed that able Statesman to succeed Count Belgioso as Plenipotentiary in the Austrian Netherlands.
Givet, Aug. 10. Messrs. d'Esterhazy and de Laval are here making preparations for a camp. They have sent their plans to Versailles, which
have been approved, but are not yet executed. We expect every day more of the artillery. Many have been sent incog. from hence to Holland, after receiving four florins each for their journey.
Paris, Aug. 6. The Parliament of Paris sat on Tuesday, and entered on their Journals a formal Protest against the edict for the Stamp Tax, specifying, "That it had been registered the day before by the express command of the Parliament; that it neither ought nor should have any force; and that the first person who presumed to carry the edict into execution, should be adjudged a traitor, and condemned to the gallows." The other Parliaments of France have formed, as it is said, the same resolution.
L O N D O N, August 18.
The King of Prussia's last Memorial is worded in such a manner as to convince the patriots that he is in earnest; and that they have nothing now to depend on but the friendship of the French Court. Comply with the King of Prussia's Memorial they certainly cannot, and he does not appear to be one of those whom fine speeches and delays will have any effect upon.
By the treaty offensive and defensive, which was concluded between France and the States-General, the contracting parties are bound to furnish to each other, when demanded of them, troops and ships of war, when either shall be engaged in a war. This treaty was ratified at the conclusion of the year 1785, upon which Sir James Harris presented a memorial to their High Mightinesses, offering the friendship of his master and the British nation to the Dutch. After distributing the advantages that must accrue to each of the countries from their local situation, the British Envoy exhorts the States not to involve themselves in any engagement with any other power that could obstruct their mutual interests. This treaty is how made the pretence with the French Court for assembling an army at Givet in favour of the refractory States of the United, or rather disunited Provinces. Although the Province of Holland acts against the sense of the majority of the States-General, that is the power in the confederacy with whom only foreign powers can transact any business.
The utmost that France engaged to do for Holland by their last treaty, was to furnish 12,000 troops, 11 ships of the line, and six frigates.
Nothing can be further from the truth than the report of the Dutch Governor at the Cape of Good Hope having ordered all the English to retire in 48 hours: On the contrary, all the ships lately arrived, which have touched there on their passages home, have been treated with the usual civility and respect, and provided with necessaries of every kind that they required or stood in need of.
Yesterday the Committee of ship owners, ships husbands, insurers, and others concerned in East-India shipping, a properly sent out in the East-Indiamen, had their appointed interview with Mr. Pitt, at his house in Downing-street, Westminster, with whom they entered into a conference on the subject of the present alarming mutinies among the sailors, by which they represented the very heavy losses they had sustained. The result on the part of Mr. Pitt was a recommendation that there should be a meeting of the merchants and ship-owners in general for the purpose of considering and planning a bill, which, he said from its universality, might be expected to be still more generally attended to in the Grand Council of the Nation, and might be termed the Merchants Naval Mutiny bill; in which case, he said, gentlemen might depend upon the whole aid and support of Government to give it effect.
August 28.
The pacifick appearance, which affairs on the Continent had begun to assume, has changed greatly since Friday last. Forty thousand soldiers are now said to be at Minden. Another report says, that a very large body of French troops is embarking at Cherbourg, and the other ports on the north of France. In addition to the intelligence relative to the disturbances at the Hague, it is now positively asserted, that the Emperor refuses to join in any pacifick mediation, from which it is concluded, that while professions of friendship have been making to the Court of Vienna, to the Stadtholder, and the King of Prussia, the Emperor has determined to join France, in order to frustrate the peaceful intentions of the Courts of Berlin and London. To this his Imperial Majesty may not have been a little induced by his own views. He has long looked with a jealous eye on the power and prosperity of the House of Brandenburg, and has been flattered by the Cabinet of Versailles into the persuasion, that the time is arrived for him to exert himself. We remember the extraordinary secrecy observed in the Cabinet of Vienna, when the march of the Imperial troops was first determined on—a secrecy altogether unnecessary, if there were not other views than those of merely quelling the disturbances in the Austrian Netherlands.
Other accounts relative to the Dutch affairs say, that a large body of French troops are already safely garrisoned in the Hague; that they were clandestinely conducted thither by night, in small numbers, from town to town, which are in the interest of the patriotic party, habited as Peasants, and in smock-frocks, &c. that immediately on their arrival they were recoinoitered, in true military array, with commanders in their front; that large warehouses were opened, well stored with accoutrements and clothing, and from these the troops were immediately furnished on their arrival.
The Patriottick Party had encamped behind Sir James Harris's house at the Hague, where his person and property being in the most alarm-
ing situation, and his life threatened, most of his State papers, with some other articles of value, have been conveyed to London, and are now safely deposited in the house of his sister, the Hon. Mrs. Robinson, in Park-street, Westminster. It is added the Patriots have also taken possession of Delft—that Monsieur de Verac, the French Minister at the Hague, has declared, that an army treble the number of the King of Prussia's, shall be immediately marched to the support of Holland, if his Prussian Majesty presumes to make any further advances the frontiers—and that the forces in Utrecht in the patriotic interest, are now known to be much more numerous and powerful than had been before suspected, and seemed to be gathering strength every moment.
Mr. Pitt was preparing for a journey to Burton Pynsent, on a visit to his mother, his carriage at his door when this news arrived. His attendance in the Cabinet, being too essential to admit of such indulgence, he has of course been detained in town ever since.
Such are the reports at present in circulation, rumours of this sort could not fail of having some effect upon the stocks. Accordingly they have undergone, since Saturday morning, a fall of near two per cent. Many of these reports, indeed, may be nothing more than Publications for this purpose. We hear, however, that every Lieut. in the navy has received the strictest orders to hold himself in readiness, and upon no considerations whatever to be absent from home; and we do not think it improbable, but that they may speedily be wanted.
PHILADELPHIA, October 10.
On Saturday last John Franklin was brought before the supreme court, to shew cause why he should not be committed upon a charge of high treason. The chief Justice stated, that many depositions and proofs of his treasonable practices, were in possession of the executive council, besides the affidavit upon which issued the warrant for apprehending the prisoner, and several other persons whose names it would be improper at this time to divulge. In this affidavit it was sworn, that Franklin and a number of the Luzerne malcontents, had assembled for the purpose of opposing the authority and laws of the commonwealth, and that a paper subscribed with his name, and in his hand writing, was posted up in different places by which the people were invited to throw off their allegiance to the state of Pennsylvania, and to erect themselves into an independent state. It appeared likewise, that the insurgents had appointed a court, consisting of three judges, which was vested with jurisdiction in all cases, criminal and civil, whether capital or otherwise. These facts being read, the chief justice observed, that if proved they would clearly constitute the crime of high treason, but that the lenity of the government had prevailed upon them to institute a prosecution for misprision of treason only; and the prisoner being accordingly asked, if he could assign any reason why he should not be committed to take his trial for that offence—he answered respectfully, that he was not guilty of the practices with which he was charged, and referred his defence to Mr. Daniel Clymer and Mr. James Biddle, his council. Mr. Clymer then moved, that the sum should be specified, in which the prisoner should give bail; but the chief justice observed, that, however inclined he might have been to consider that subject yesterday, the information which had been since received from Luzerne was a conclusive bar to the application; for it appeared that the insurgents, of whom Franklin was the leader, had proceeded to acts of open rebellion, in consequence of his imprisonment, that they had surrounded the house of Col. Pickering and seized his family as hostages, and that Mr. Montgomery, one of the commissioners, had escaped with difficulty, after suffering the greatest personal violence. Upon this the attorney general stated, that as the circumstances were now essentially altered, it became his duty to pray, upon the part of the commonwealth, that the prisoner might be committed for the crime of high treason, which was incontrovertibly charged in the deposition that had just been read. The judges unanimously agreed to make out the warrant accordingly; and as the commitment is by the whole court, a single judge will not, of course, admit the prisoner to bail during the vacation.
New-York, October 13.
We are happy to inform the Public that SAM. W. JOHNSON, L. L. D. has accepted of the Presidency of Columbia College, to which he was some time ago unanimously elected.
Extract of a letter from Rousseau, (Dominica) dated August 29, 1787.
"This morning, about 4 o'clock, came on a severe gale from the N. W. attended with thunder, lightning, and heavy rain, and blew with uncommon fury, till about half past five; when it abated for a short time, but about 6 came round to the S. W. and raged with additional violence till past 7. The melancholy effects of this storm are but too visible in our streets, and on the coast, to need our description. For the information of those further removed from the scene of destruction, (and we almost dread to hear the accounts from the country) we shall observe, that scarce a street in town but what exhibits several marks of its fury: Some houses totally destroyed, others unroofed; and from the want of lumber, and of vessels to send for it to the neighbouring islands, the persons and property of many of the inhabitants must for some time remain exposed to the weather, at this unfavourable season, when the rains are heavy and frequent."
"The ship Caton, which escaped the last gale,

lies stranded on the beach, near the river; the brig Henry and Eliza, which suffered so severely, and rode out the storm of the 23d, was forced from her anchors, and dismasted; we have, however, since learned that she fetched Prince Rupert's Bay: The brig Queen Charlotte got out to sea, and has since returned to port with the loss of her foremast.
The garrison on Bruce's Hill felt the storm with inconceivable severity; and perhaps none but those who were in it can form an idea of the horrors of the scene. Nothing could withstand the fury of the gale, and one block house, stripped of its covering, with another almost down, and the Magazine, constitutes the whole of the remaining buildings. We are happy to find that there is not yet no account of any lives being lost; though some of the Officers, and several of the men are severely wounded. Of the former number are Capt. Masterton, and Lieut. Gore; the latter so violently as to be for a long time speechless; and is still in a very dangerous situation. The long range of Officers' barracks gave way early; a part of the wreck of which struck Captain Breerton's horse, and killed him; having broke his back and otherwise shockingly bruised him, as did the scattered fragments several other horses on the hill.
The left of the Head-Quarters was tore off, and carried to some distance whilst M. Campbell was in it; who was with difficulty extricated from the ruins; when, to the honour of the feelings of that gentleman, his first care was with the most tender solicitude to seek for, and relieve a faithful grenadier, who had stood by, and assisted him through the whole of the scene of devastation and distress, which he fortunately effected. The hill now exhibits the most melancholy scene of desolation: It is indeed one of those objects well calculated to awaken the Sensualist from the stupor of self-gratification, to contemplate, and share in the misfortunes of his fellow-mortals; and he must be possessed of a breast of a contexture somewhat approximating unto marble or adamant, who could survey such a scene of havoc and devastation unmoved. At such a sight, the bosom of sensibility will feast in the luxury of participation of woes not immediately its own; and the conduits of sympathy will yield the tribute of a tear."
Extra of a letter from Nassau, September 15. Long-Island has shared in the distress occasioned by the late gale, but to what extent we are not informed. The injury done to the cotton plantations on Exuma is found to be trifling, compared with what it was first estimated at. The sloop Cato, John Watts, master, from New-York for Martha-Brae in Jamaica, laden with Indian-corn, flour and lumber, was, on the night of the 4th of August, in a heavy gale, wrecked on the Grand Caicos Reef.—The vessel and cargo are lost—the crew, after being 31 days on a desert island, were taken on board by one of our wreckers, and brought to this port the 12th instant.
A large French ship, name unknown, homeward bound, was cast away some time in last month, on the Hogfies—the crew, it is supposed, after getting ashore on the keys, have been taken off by some vessel and carried to St. Domingo.
The schooner Scorpion, Darvell, of this port, was cast away the 27th inst. on Heneaga.—The crew are saved, but the vessel is entirely lost. Brig Sally, Bates, from Barbadoes, arrived at New-London, in lat. 20. spoke a Spanish ship from Teneriffe, bound to La Guaira, having on board 170 ladies, carrying out the newest fashions of dres and politeness. Spoke two whalemen, belonging to Nantucket, who had taken five whales, in lat. 37.
On the 2d. inst. was married in Philadelphia, Mr. WILLIAM SHOTWELL, merchant of this city, to Miss SALLY HOPKINS, daughter of Mr. Samuel Hopkins, merchant, of that city. Married, on Wednesday evening, Mr. JOHN VAN CORTLANDT, of this city, to Miss KITTY CUYLER, of Albany.

On you, content, I'd yield my fleeting breath, And change my being for so sweet a death!

THE river communicating with the sea by the best inlet on the Jersey coast, is navigable for vessels of 200 tons, within a few miles of the Works; those of 100 tons may approach within one mile; flats and scows, carrying 10 or 12 tons, load and unload at the Works. The usual Freight to New-York or Phila- delphia is 10 Shillings per Ton. The Furnace stream affords plenty of water, in the driest season, for three or four pair of mill-stones, besides supplying the Iron Works. An excellent Dam, which has been increas- ing in strength many years, by the cinder from the furnace, is well secured from the danger of freshes, and the Works are scarcely ever injured or delayed by either ice or back-water, though the tide swells to the foot of the dam: Mills may therefore be erected at a moderate expence. This being a part of the country in which many people and many teams are necessarily employed in collecting and preparing for market the Iron and Lumber with which it abounds, and at the same time illly adapted to the raising of grain for their support, there is, and must continue to be, a demand for large quantities of Middlings, Cor- nell, Shorts and Bran, at advanced prices; and the convenience of conveying Flour, at a light expence, either to New-York or Philadelphia, or to more dis- tant markets, will not be overlooked nor considered as of small importance, especially as there are few mill seats of any considerable capacity equally adapted to the New-York market, which is not unfrequently supplied with superfine Flour from Philadelphia. A choice of the various kinds of Wheat may be drawn to this seat from Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New- Jersey, and New-York, with greater ease and conve- nience than to almost any other mills now in being.
The FURNACE, which by the extensive Lands annexed to it, is abundantly supplied with Wood and Ore, is now in Blast, and is noted for producing the best Hollow Ware in America, the Metal being pe- culiarily well adapted to the making of Castings of all kinds; as well as excellent Bar-Iron.
A FORGE, with four Fires and two Hammers, belongs to the estate, and stands about half a mile from the furnace, on another fine stream which affords plenty of water.
A SLITTING and ROLLING MILL, having been disused for the last two or three years, may want some repairs to prepare it for use; but the Fore-Bays and Gates are in perfect order, and being in the pro- per spot for Grist-Mills, may be appropriated to that use.
Two SAW MILLS in good order, and a small GRIST MILL.
The MANSION HOUSE is elegantly situated about 200 yards from the furnace, on an height which commands a view of the whole works, and of the two villages formed by the surrounding buildings belonging to the estate, such as barns, stables, coal houses, workshops, storehouses and dwellings for work- men. Adjoining the mansion house is a large and fruitful garden, affording plenty of vegetables, and will store with chosen fruit trees also a young beat- ing orchard, containing near 2000 apple trees, mostly grafted.
These excellent accommodation for extensive and profitable manufactories, are offered to sale at a very low rate and on terms of payment calculated for the ease of the purchaser, who may pay the greater part in the produce of the Iron Works at a price to be agreed upon; and they are capable of producing more in one year, than will pay the whole price demanded.
For particulars, apply to WILLIAM RICH- ARDS, at the said Works, JOHN COX, at Bloomf- bury, near Trenton, CHARLES PETTIT, in Phi- ladelphia, or WM. LAIGHT, and Co. in New- York.  95 t.f.
