NEW-YORK, Aug. 22.
By his Britannic Majesty's Packets Sandwich, and Queen Charlotte arrived yesterday, we have received London Papers to the 4th July.
EAST INDIES. CALCUTTA, December 6.
Late accounts from the Northern Circars mention, that the eldest son of the late Ibrahim Beg, Nabob of Nirmul, was encamped with 15,000 men on the banks of the Krishna; but whether with any hostile intention or not could only be conjectured.
Tippoo, after considerably alarming the borders of the Carnatic, has suddenly changed his route, and has taken Chittatore, belonging to the Mahrattas, on the borders of the Nizam's country. His late hostile appearances, it seems, were merely meant as a feint to deceive the Mahrattas.
DECEMBER 29.
Late advices received from Agra say, that a smart skirmish has taken place between Scindia and Ishmael Begh, in which the former was worsted and obliged to retire. Scindia's force consisted of 30,000 cavalry and 30 pieces of cannon; that of Ishmael Begh of about 12,000 and 80 field-pieces. From the very small distance at which they were encamped, a decisive engagement was hourly expected to take place. We have since received accounts of a very complete victory being gained by the troops of Ishmael Begh over those of Scindia, at a place called Kinhurrah; it happened on the 2d of Rubbee-ul-owul. Four companies of a battalion, commanded by a Mr. Dubois in Scindia's service, were cut to pieces, and the elephant on which Scindia himself was mounted, was killed during the engagement. Ishmael Begh had not at this time received any of the promised succours, and fought with a great inferiority of numbers; in the engagement his two principal sirdars were killed, namely Hussein Aly Khawn, and Muckfoud Aly Khawn, persons as much distinguished for their courage, as they were respected for their fidelity and prudence.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 27.
Our frontier places are provided with provisions and ammunition for 30 months, and furnished with a sufficient number of troops and cannon. Since the Grand Vizir's departure, every thing is quiet here; but the plague has re-commenced its ravages.
Yesterday a courier arrived here from Servia, with advice that 4000 Austrians having passed the Save to post themselves on our territory, were repulsed by our troops, and obliged to return, but their bridges being broken down by the troops who guarded the opposite shore, and who were afraid our troops would pass the river, they were all killed and made prisoners—when the Caïmacan, or Grand Vizir's substitute, was congratulated upon this advantage, he answered, that the Infidels had drawn this punishment upon themselves by breaking a peace which had lasted fifty years.
A Spanish frigate is arrived here with an envoy from the King of Morocco, with 35,000,000 florins, sent by his African Majesty to the Grand Signior to defray the expenses of the present war. The Dey of Algiers and Tunis, and even the Sherif of Mecca, and many Arabian Princes, have sent a large supply in money to his Highness for the same purpose.
MAY 22.
On the 20th inst. in the morning the Grand Fleet, consisting of 100 sail, with the grand fleet, for Sinope in the Black Sea.
STOCKHOLM, May 25.
Since the accounts we received the end of March, that the Russians were assembling forces and forming magazines on the frontiers of Finland, all our troops are in motion; they are arming all our galleys in haste, and most of our regiments are already on their march. On the 27th the King will go to Carlscrona to inspect the fleet, which has been augmented with some frigates and which is to be ready that day. The Senate assembled yesterday, and entirely approves of all the measures taken by the King, and has intreated his Majesty to continue his dispositions for the defence of the kingdom.
TRIESTE, May 17.
Two Turkish ships of war lately appeared in the Adriatic Sea, which visited one French ship, and pillaged two others. As soon as it was known here, our two cutters went in pursuit of them.
LEGHORN, May 28.
Letters from Spain confirm the accounts of the armaments making in all the ports, as may be gathered from the following paragraph out of a letter from Cadiz.
"The ships of war which are ready for sea, including those of the line, amount in all to 62 sail, which will form a respectable fleet; it is said that the Chevalier de Langara will have the command of it. The land forces are also augmenting, all the fortifications are repairing, and our garrison is to be augmented with six battalions of infantry; besides this, several corps of cuirassiers are upon the coast, to prevent any landing that may be intended. Similar orders are sent to all the ports in the kingdom."
WARSAW, May 17.
The War Department has sent General Potocki orders to post the troops of the Republic so that they may not be placed between the Russians and the Turks.
The account of a skirmish between a detachment of Russians and another of Polish troops, is confirmed. The Russians wanted to force away 200 Polish youths; General Potocki, hearing of this arbitrary proceeding, sent Colonel Bielak with seventy cavaliers to hinder that violence; they came to an engagement, the Russians fell on the Poles, and killed their Colonel; this enraged them, and they attacked the Russians so warmly that they killed a great number, and put the rest to flight.
VIENNA, June 7.
Letters from Ragusa mention the arrival of the Grand Vizir at Sophia, where he remained at the head of 80,000 men.
By the last accounts from Semlin, it appears, that the principal Austrian army had not changed its position on the heights near that town, in which it remained when the preceding letters of the 29th of May were written.
JUNE 8.
Letters both from the head quarters and Semlin fully confirm the reports spread here a few days ago, that the Grand Imperial army will not pass the Save, and that the siege of Belgrade is deferred till a more favorable opportunity.
On the 27th of last month, instead of the army's receiving orders, as they expected, to pass the Save, they saw two companies of pontoniers appear, who began to break down the two bridges thrown over that river, which they finished the
same day. On the 28th they countermanded all the dispositions, and all hopes of passing the Save vanished. We are assured the grand army will remain on the spot it has occupied these seven weeks, and that they are fortifying it for that purpose.
JUNE 14.
Advices of the 3d inst. from Prince Lichtenstein mention, that a body of Turks, consisting of 3000 men, horse and foot, in three divisions, made an attempt on the Austrian lines, extending from the right side of the Glina to the redoubt of Szaro Szello. As soon as the advanced posts perceived the enemy marching in superior force, they gave the alarm, and retired under the fort, the fire of which soon obliged the Turks to disperse. A party then attempted to pass the Glina, and attacked the Austrians posted at the bridge at Kattinovacz, but met with so vigorous a resistance, that after returning three times to the assault, they were repulsed with loss. This party afterwards rejoined the main body, and returned to the charge in greater numbers, but with no better effect, finding a braver resistance from a detachment of the regiment of Szluiner, under the command of Major Knoevich, and from a company of the first regiment of the frontiers, who at length put the Turks to flight, and pursued them into their own lines.
The enemy left behind them 34 dead, with the standard bearer and several horses. They threw about 40 men into the river, and carried with them, besides, a considerable number of killed and wounded. Our loss amounts to two officers and 40 men killed, and four wounded.
By letters from Field Marshal Count Wartenleben, of the 4th inst. it appears that a detachment of his army had intercepted a Turkish convoy of provisions intended for Belgrade, and destroyed what they could not carry off.
PARIS, June 15.
The disturbances in Brittany increase daily; the resolution of government to send troops to that province, alarms the public very much; they are shocked at the idea of a civil war.
Three more Deputies are arrived here from the Noblesse of Brittany with fresh representations; they wished to speak to the King himself, but received no other answer than that his Majesty would answer them when he had taken the advice of his Privy Council.
TOULON, June 10.
The Ambassadors of Tippoo Saib, on board the orora, arrived safe in our road this morning; they were saluted by all the guns of five frigates which are at anchor in the road, and after them by the cannon of all the batteries of the several forts. They are in good health, their suit consists of 36 persons, but they have had a very long passage, having left Pondicherry the 11th of July, 1787, and have coasted all along the African shore, where they stopped at Goree; and after passing the Straights of Gibraltar staid two days at Malaga. The greatest preparations are making for their landing, which will take place to-morrow.
FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE.
LONDON, June 22.
This morning one of his Majesty's Messengers arrived at the office of the Marquis of Carmarthen, his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, with the King of Prussia's ratification of the provisional treaty of defensive alliance signed at Loo, on the 13th of June last, which was exchanged at the Hague on the 27th of June last, with his Excellency Sir James Harris, Knight of the Bath, his Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the States General of the United Provinces, against his Majesty's ratification, by M. d'Arnsleben, his Prussian Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary to their High Mightinesses.
JUNE 24.
A royal signature last week for granting Sir Frederick Haldimand, late Governor of Quebec, the sum of 2504l. 16s. 10d. for jaw expenses incurred during the time he filled that post.
At the same time a warrant also passed the royal signature, for granting to Evan Nepean, Esq., one of the Under Secretaries of State, the sum of 25,007l. 1s. 8d. expended in presents sent to the Indian Chiefs in Canada.
Monday the Marquis de Luzerne, the French Ambassador waited on the Marquis of Carmarthen, formally to enquire into the tenor of the articles of the provincial treaty lately concluded at Loo in Holland, between his Majesty and the King of Prussia. The same is expected to be demanded of the Duke of Dorset at Paris.
Extract of a letter from Algiers, May 3.
"The orders his Moorish Majesty has issued against the English have been executed with the utmost vigour; all their ships were compelled to depart without being permitted to take on board any species of provisions; and all communication between the fortress of Gibraltar, Tetuan, and this port, has been interdicted; at the same time that a declaration, couched in the strongest terms, was signified to the British Consul in the presence of the Consuls of the other nations. His Majesty has also made public at Tangier, that he should take a decisive part in the war between Russia and the Ottoman Porte in favour of the latter power, as appears by the manifesto or letter addressed to all the Consuls, of which the following is a translation:
'In the name of God: There is no power or puissance but that which is of God. To all the Consuls at Tangiers, peace be with those who take the right way. We make known to you, that all the Christian nations who are at peace with the Grand Signior, are also at peace with us; and that those who are at war with him, are also at war with us; that the day on which any nation shall make peace with the Grand Signior, it will also be made with us; and that on the day they may enter upon a war with the Grand Signior, it will be so with us! We order you to make our said pleasure known to all the Christian nations! Given the 23d of the month Ilhumadelula, in the year 1702, or 3d of March 1788.'
A letter from Leghorn of the 6th of June says, "The Imperial Internuncio at Constantinople is now performing quarantine here, a better situation than that of being shut up in the Seven Towers. We have no particular news, more than that the Grand Vizir is arrived at Belgrade; and it is said that the Austrians have made another attack at Dubitza, and taken it, but not without considerable loss."
JUNE 28.
By a ship arrived from Goree, at Brest, there is an account that l'Aimable Louise, Captain Dore, of Havre, being at anchor on the 7th of April last in the road of d'Albreda, in the river Gambia, where the French have a factory, the blacks which were on board, to the number of 114, revolted, and killed three of the crew, obliging the other to fly on board La Maria Victoire, of Bordeaux, Captain Girant, who happened to be laying at anchor also. The latter ship immediately began firing on the former, to oblige the captives to abandon her; but they being protected by the inhabitants of d'Albreda and the environs, who went on board to the number of 100, an engagement between the two ships ensued, which lasted upwards of three hours. The inhabitants of d'Albreda took all the blacks out of l'Aimable Louise, except five wounded, and they pillaged the ship of all the merchandise and cloaths of the crew.
The officers again took possession of her by help of the boat of La Maria Victoire, who had one man killed. The Captains, fearing some ill consequences may arise from what has happened, have thought proper to retire to Goree; and Capt. Dore advises the French traders not to send any vessels to that part of the coast, as the King of Bar has promised to destroy any French ship which may come to treat.—And the Captain adds, that the King is strong enough to effect his purpose, and to become master of any ship except ships of war.
Extract of a Letter from Warsaw, June 11.
"Intelligence is just received in this city, that the Ottoman Porte has declared war against the King and the Republic, on pretence that Poland has furnished the enemies of his Sublime Highness with the necessaries for war, contrary to the convention that subsists between the two Powers, and unless the Russians and Austrians should cut them out work enough, the Turks will certainly enter this kingdom with the sword."
JULY 1.
Accounts, it is said, are just arrived, that a large detachment of Imperial troops have had a rencontre with the advanced forces of the Republic of Venice. The object in contest was the passage of the Imperial troops through the territory of the Republic. This the Venetians refused, and the resistance was followed by an immediate action.
A Congress, it is said, is very soon to meet under the mediation of Great Britain, France and Russia, for settling the present disputes between the Imperial Court and the Turks.
No change has yet taken place in the French Ministry, nor are any of them exiled. The dismissal of the Prime Minister is not looked for until about the 10th of this month. It was not expected till towards the latter end; but circumstances have arisen which will accelerate the measure. The other two principal Members who go out with him, are the Comte de Brienne, Minister of the War department; and M. le Moignon, Keeper of the Seals. The latter is the person through whom all the obnoxious Lettres de Cachet were sent. The Duke de Chatelet still holds the best chance of being promoted to the head of affairs. If it is so, M. Neckar remains out. There is little probability in his favor. The Baron de Breteuil keeps his place. No further mention is made of any disturbances in the provinces.—An order was sent last week from the King to the several commandants throughout the kingdom, to suspend their former orders till his further pleasure was made known.
JULY 3.
By a gentleman just returned from France, we give the following authentic intelligence: He was at Reims the 1st of June, the day on which the Parliament was exiled, and finding that matters were coming to an extremity by the military being called to the assistance of the King's orders, he left the town by the advice of his friends; the forces at Reims were not sufficient to perform the task; expressies were sent for more troops, and a body of between ten and eleven thousand men marched for Reims, and encamped before the town, the gates being shut against them; they cut all the corn down which was grown near the city where they encamped. At eleven o'clock at night on the 2d of June, an attack was made on the city, and after throwing in a few bombs they forced the South gate, and the people defended themselves till upwards of eleven hundred were killed. He say throughout Brittany, and the Provinces through which he passed, the freedom of conversation for their liberties was such, that he began to think himself in England. In Reims and many other towns the following were posted up in different parts of the Provinces: Louis le leveur, le present Roi de France, qui a donne la liberte aux Francaux...
"Louis le leveur, the present King of France, who has given liberty to America and made his own subjects slaves." In other places through which he passed was wrote in French, "No Parliament! No King!"
The following is an extract of a letter just received from France:
"Although remonstrances innumerable have poured into Versailles without much effect, yet no civil war, an event much expected, has, or I believe will, take place. The firm behaviour of the inhabitants of Dauphiny and Brittany have rather alarmed the Court; however, the Minister does not yet seem willing to recede. At Grenoble they acted in a manner very unexpectedly, for when the Due de Clermont Tonnerre ordered the gates of the town to be shut, the peasants came down from the mountains, made a breach in the wall entered the town, and seized the courier that had the dispatches for the Court, which they opened; the second in command escaped to Valence, from whence he sent an account of the affair to Court; we since learn, that a number of soldiers, they say 300, were killed. The Bourgeois are and the peasantry keep guard in the town of Grenoble. Although all this looks very terrible, I am of opinion the King will get the better. There is no fixed plan in this country for an effective opposition."
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, dated June 4, to a Merchant in Hull.
"Matters with the Emperor of Morocco will, I have reason to think, soon be cleared up; in the mean time, there is not the smallest danger of his committing any depredation upon our shipping."
The King of Sweden has absolutely left Stockholm, in order to take the command of the army in Finland; and nine ships of the line have failed to join the Swedish fleet gone on the expedition to Finland. Admiral Wrangel failed in the above fleet to take the command of the whole.
Notice has been received, that the Russian fleet is fallen down to the lower Mole, but the want of men is so great, that they almost despair of being able to put to sea; the greatest exertions however are making for that purpose, and when the fleet is ready Admiral Greig is to have the command.
Extract of a letter from Vienna, June 7.
According to the report of Major General Count d'Alton, Major Michalowitz, Commander of the volunteers of Servia, posted in the right shore of the Save, on the 29th of May detached a parole of his volunteers, under command of M. Petrovics, with orders to reconnoitre the enemy in the environs of Belgrade; and, if possible, to seize the cannon of the new battery raised before the fortress, or to spike them up and render them useless; and in case they could not effect this, to attack the enemy's detachment, which commonly tried to escort the horses and mules belonging to the Governor of Belgrade on the road leading to the mill of Knefug Uscin. The first of these designs being discovered, and the volunteers not being able, on that account, to reach the battery, they prepared to execute the second in the following manner: Seeing 300 Turks, horse and foot, who escorted 30 or 40 mules and 31 horses, arrive at the mill and post themselves round it, they resolved to attack the enemy on all sides at once, which they did, and 60 or 70 Turks were killed directly, two Ottomans and two Christians taken prisoners, and 20 mules and 31 horses; the rest fled as fast as they could towards Belgrade, and some of the garrison arriving to their assistance, our detachment retreated; in doing which, they attacked 80 or 90 Turks posted in the rear, killed 20, and arrived at Paleles without being molested. The prisoners of war were sent to the head-quarters, and the spoil by his Majesty's order, divided amongst the troops.
"Accounts from our troops posted along the frontiers of the Adriatic Gulph unanimously assure us, that in all the neighbouring countries there is not the least appear-
ance of a contagious malady, and that there is no fear of the plague."
"His Majesty, in consideration of the signal services performed by Col. Fabry, of the regiment of Erdody, in the late operations in Moldavia, and to give him a proof of his satisfaction and regard, has appointed him a Major General in the army in Galicia."
Extract of a Letter from Causland Bay, Plymouth, June 26.
"This morning at nine A.M. his Majesty's squadron under the command of Rear Admiral Gower, anchored, some in Plymouth Sound, and others in Causland Bay, all well, after experiencing an agreeable cruise during the last 19 days, most of which time we were to the westward of Scilly, from 20 to 40 leagues."
"The Admiral has shown himself expert and diligent in all his manoeuvres of the fleet, and notwithstanding the shortness of our stay at sea, our men are become very alert, and have displayed the old English seamen-like abilities. The Admiral's continuance here is not expected to be longer than four or five days, when we shall in all likelihood take our old cruising ground, and keep the sea till the limitation of our cruise is out, which was intended to be at least six weeks. We have had some variety of weather; a gale from the E. N. E. kept us under a close reefed main-top sail for three days. We have fallen in with one man of war since our departure from Spithead, and that a Dutch frigate who passed us yesterday, and who showed visible signs to salute us, but the Admiral took no notice of her. The Andromeda of 32 guns, who joined us off Plymouth a fortnight ago, and is commanded by Prince William Henry, is in great order, and has gained him much credit in all her manoeuvres. I will send you to-morrow a short sketch of our different days works. The ships who have taken their anchorage in the Sound, are the Plymouth Squadron, Culloden, and Crown, as has also the Scipio; they will be under the command of their late Admiral (Graves); those in Causland Bay remain under the orders of Admiral Gower, and are the Edgar (flag ship), Magnificent, Colossus, and Hebe."
SWEDISH POLITICS.
The King of Sweden certainly has not declared war against the Empress, as has been reported, although it is not improbable but he may do so. He has unquestionably left the side of France, by whom he was promised, of a million and a half of livres during peace, and of six millions during war, has not been paid; and the political treaty attempted to be made between France and Russia, militated so strongly against the Court of Sweden, that the King could no longer submit to be duped by their professions. The Swedish Minister at Peterburgh gave notice, that the Empress was arming on the borders of Finland; in consequence of which, the King immediately proceeded to arm. The Empress, by her Minister, presented a memorial, in which she threatened, that if the armaments were not stopped, she would fall upon Swedish Finland with 50,000 men. The King, so far from stopping, proceeded with increased alacrity, and it has surprised Europe, that the Court of Stockholm should so suddenly be supplied with money for this extraordinary emergency.
The Swedish fleet is certainly failed. In a former paper we stated, that Sweden had 16 sail of the line in her grand fleet; but we are now assured, that she has added two more ships of the line to it, and consequently the force that is now gone to Finland is 18 sail of the line and six frigates, besides galleys, &c.
They have also three frigates cruising, in order to protect their homeward-bound East-Indiamen. An account further states, that this expedition is conducted with the greater policy, it having been the object of the King of Sweden for some time, who foresaw what would be the Empress's design, in case of his refusal to furnish the force that she would demand.
This powerful armament will probably meet with some interruption in its progress to Finland, and it is not unlikely, but that a war will be the consequence between those powers.
FRENCH POLITICS.
The troubles that have for a long time past subsisted in France, in the province of Brittany, Dauphiny, Burgundy, and other provinces, on account of the new edicts of the French King, seem to be appeased by the very means the exiled Parliament have taken to quiet the fermentation of the people.
The resistance of the execution of the edicts is become, however, so very general and unanimous throughout the kingdom, that it may be called a national cause. The exile of the Parliaments of Rennes, Toulouse, Grenoble, and Besançon, far from striking any terror among the second order of Magistracy, has only tended to unite the Members in one common cause and opinion. Those Magistrates who did accept of the duties of the new constitution, having been booed at and ill-treated by the populace at the moment they were entering on their functions, very wisely declined enforcing the orders of their commissions, and at this moment there is no part of the whole kingdom where justice is administered.
In the mean time, the nobility assembled in large bodies, even in those provinces where there are no States or Parliaments; and throughout France nothing is talked of but remonstrances to the King—some more spirited than others—the Clergy have added theirs:—In this situation of things, we are assured—that this favorite project of the King and his Ministers will be totally abandoned.
By the last dispatches from Paris, we are warranted to say, that the Prime Minister, with M. de la Moignon will be shortly dismissed. It is not quite determined who shall succeed to the head of affairs; but the most probable conjecture is, that M. le Duc de Chatelet, formerly the Ambassador at this Court, will be the new Minister of France.

B E R M U D A, July 19. Passed the Sloop Elizabeth and Mary, Cobb, from New-York for the West-Indies.
The Sloop Elizabeth, De Witt, from New-York to Curacoa, sprung a leak, and was obliged to put in here and unload.
July 26. Sunday last, in the forenoon, commenced a heavy gale of wind from the N. E. which soon got round to the E. S. E. when it blew with great violence all the afternoon, and until about 12 at night, at which time it moderated. Much damage was done by unloading houses, tearing up trees, to the boats, and destroying vegetables and provisions; two houses were also thrown down. Happily for us the gale began in the day, by which most people had time to secure their property. Since the above storm several parts of a wreck have been picked up on the south side, and we fear much damage has been done at sea by it. A brig was close up to the land the beginning of the gale, and it is supposed she wished to speak with it. The Sloop Elizabeth, De Witt, for Curacoa, also failed on Sunday morning, both of which we are under apprehensions for.
The Sloop Delight, Smith, from Philadelphia for the West-Indies, having lost her bowsprit, &c. in a gale put in here to refit.
August 2. Monday arrived the brig Lord Hawkesbury, Capt. Newbould, from New-York: she was in sight of land on Sunday the 20th of July, at the commencement of the heavy gale, in which she lost both her masts, and some lumber; after the gale she got jury masts up, and fell in with a loop dismasted, without any person on board, laden with lumber, dried cod, &c. and water lodged; it is supposed the crew were all lost; the rigging and sails were saved by Capt. Newbould. Arrived also the Sloop Welcome Return, Capt. Butterfield, from Alexandria, Virginia, which felt the gale severely, and afterwards picked up part of some wrecks: her cargo is damaged. And the Sloop Fanny, Capt. Ingham 34 days from Virginia; her cargo damaged in the gale.
We find by the different vessels arrived since the 20th of July, that the gale has been very severe to the Westward and Southward, particularly to the Westward, where the sea for many leagues from these Islands was covered with wrecks. The gale did not extend far to the northward.
The vessels which foundered on the South side we imagine was an American Sloop: as her tiller of maple, part of the vessel of oak, some of the new cabin work, &c. come ashore.

BURNS' POEMS.
Now in the press, and speedily will be published,
Poems, by Robert Burns,
The Ayreshire Ploughman.
THIS American edition of Burns' Poems will be ornamented with a head of the author, neatly engraved by Mr. Scott, of Philadelphia, and, to render the work more worthy of public patronage, will be added, without any additional expense, a number of Poems selected from the works of the celebrated R. Ferguson.
The publishers return their sincere thanks to those Gentlemen who subscribed for this work some time ago, and assure them that the reason of its not appearing sooner, was entirely owing to the extreme scarcity of Printing paper; a supply of fine paper is now received, and, as the work is in the press, they may rely on having their copies in a very short time.
Subscriptions continue to be received in New-York by J. and A. McLean, and the several Booksellers: in Philadelphia, by Messrs. Bailey, Pritchard, and Dobson; and in Norfolk by John McLean. July 11.
