L O N D O N, Jan. 12.
The report of the probable dissolution of the Family Compact between the Houses of Bourbon is now done away. The fame supremacy of French politics, which has so long governed the Court of Madrid, still subsists with unabated effect; nor is it in the least likely to diminish during the life of the present King. No difference of opinion has occurred; on the contrary, the utmost harmony subsists. And on a very late occasion, on an application of the French Ambassador at Madrid to that Court, to know what their intentions would be, should the late negotiations which the French have attempted, be brought to a completion, the answer was, that they would abide by whatever the French Minister should judge most proper for the general interest.
Extract of a letter from Paris, Jan. 4.
"The Archbishop of Thoulouse is not dead, as has been reported for some time past, but is still in a bad state of health; and his complaint may suffer him to linger for some time yet to come."
On the 18th ult. a mob assembled at the house of Van Bleiswyk, the late Grand Pensionary of Holland, and broke all his windows, after which they proceeded to the houses of some other patriots, and did considerable damage; since which the States of Holland have issued a proclamation offering a reward of 1000 florins for apprehending any one who shall insult or commit any outrages whatever on the persons or properties of the inhabitants of the Hague.
Extract of a letter from Havre, Jan. 1.
"We have had for some days past blowing weather; but the 27th ult. bore witness to one of the most tremendous storms ever known here, attended with lightning and heavy claps of thunder during great part of the night. A new frigate launched here, and bound to Brest, is on shore, and much damaged. The mouth of the Seine is covered with wrecks of small craft. Numbers of people, it is feared, must have perished. The Iris of 44 guns, guardship here, broke from her moorings, but luckily received no damage."
Accounts from Yass, one of the principal towns in Moldavia, are very dismal. The garrison, which was composed of 2500 Janissaries, and 2000 Spahis, were reinforced on the 19th by 8000 Turks. Between these troops a dissention broke out, which has occasioned the most terrible outrages and disorders. On the night of the 23d of December, they fell upon each other, and then set fire to the town, after having plundered all the Greek merchants houses, violated their wives, and carried off their children. Fortunately the fire consumed no more than forty houses; but the streets are filled with dead bodies. In this fatal catastrophe, the greatest part of the Christians took flight, and have escaped, some to the Buckowine, and others to Gallicia. The Consuls also thought it necessary to make their escape from the violence of these assassins.
The progress of the fire was stopped by the exertions of a corps of 5000 Turks, who had just entered the town. The quarrel was between the Spahis and the Janissaries. The Hospodar has sent an express to the Emperor, entreating that he would direct his army to march into that province.
L I T E R A T U R E.
THE press is at present employed in several works of distinction; among which, may be mentioned, Mr. Gibbon's three additional volumes, containing the History of the Byzantine Empire, from the period of its total overthrow, to the time of the Turkish invasion. Mr. Gough's splendid and laborious edition of Camden's Britannia, and Mr. Douglas's continuation of his ingenious Nenia Britannica, or History of the most ancient sepulchres discovered in Britain; so far antiquity. Polite literature is greatly interested in the undertaking of Shakespeare, from the first edition, printed fac simile : our most eminent artists are deep in study and execution, to exhibit designs, to render the work a monument of national respect to their immortal poet, who has opened to them, in wonderful conception of intellectual powers, the great book of nature.
Mrs. Piozzi's letters of Johnson, will appear in a few weeks; and till they appear, Mr. Boswell withholds his life of Johnson; with these two works, the Doctor closes his account current with the world.
Dr. Priestly, who has "the pen of a ready writer," is employed in an Ecclesiastical History; an Address to the Legislature and Bench of Bishops; besides other things. He has changed his plan of answering his minor antagonists; and intends to publish a volume annually, containing answers to every thing that appears against him. This volume, which is already published, is entitled, Defences of Unitarianism, for the year 1787.
The late Dr. Stebbings's Sermons are nearly ready for the public eye.
Dr. Campbell's Translation, and preliminary Dissertations on the Gospels, are in the press, a work, which has engaged the Doctor's attention upwards of 30 years, and cannot fail to be acceptable to biblical critics.
Some of our first literary characters have been debating on a plan to render the Society of Antiquaries more copious, and deeply investigating, in its researches after ancient knowledge; also more useful, in respect to obsolete records, peculiar to British history.
N E W P O R T, April 3.
Result of the proceedings in this State on the New Constitution.
New-Port, Providence and Westerly, did not poll, but gave instructions to their Deputies in General Assembly, to have the Constitution referred to a Convention, where it could be legally and properly determined.
Warwick and Greenwich, no yeas were given, the Federalists having entered a protest against the alteration of the mode of decision, as illegal and unprecedented .
Bristol and Little-Compton, there was a majority of votes, for the New Constitution.
The other towns generally negatived the Constitution—their majorities will appear larger, as the Federalists generally declined giving their votes in Town-Meeting upon a question that is resolvable only by a Convention of the people.
It is therefore presumed that the Legislature will consider this act altering the mode of decision as abortive and nugatory—and not offer to the United States and to the world a partial decision of the Constitution, as being the voice of the people of this State; for it is an indisputable truth that the nays returned do not form a majority of the free-man and freeholders of the State.
Adherence to the Confederation.
The State of Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations yet remains unrepresented in the Congress of the United States of America—any order to the contrary notwithstanding.
On Friday last the Town-Meeting of this town convened, agreeable to their adjournment, to hear the report of their committee appointed to draft instructions to our Representatives for the calling of a Convention and repealing of the Tender and Limitation Acts—the report accordingly was read, and unanimously received.
The public will have a just estimate of the principles of the Antifederalists in this State, by recurring to the principles of our domestic government for two years past—the opposers of the New Constitution being uniform supporters of an iniquitous tender of a depreciated paper-money at par.
N E W - Y O R K, April 18.
On Wednesday arrived the Schooner Bradshaw , from North-Carolina; sloop Jenny , Schermerhorn, from Savannah; and sloop Sally , Hooke, from St. Thomas; and

The sloop Mary Ann , belonging to Middletown, Connecticut, John Ingraham, master, from Cape Francois, bound to New-London, put into Cape Cod the 25th March, having met with very bad weather; out 55 days, hands all well.—On the 21st, on George's Banks they spoke with the sloop — , Capt Bishop, belonging to Newhaven.
Extract of a letter from Baltimore, dated April 10.
"Our election for Members of the State Convention commenced on Tuesday last; the Federalists were likely to be taken by surprise; but Doctor M c Henry and Dr. Coulter have carried by a great majority for the town, both federal. Luther Martin for Richmond County, though it is supposed he is not eligible. Judge Hanson and Nicholas Carroll for Annapolis, federal. The Hon. Joseph Gilpin, Col. Hollingsworth, Col. Samuel Evans and James G. Heron, Esq. for Cecil County, all federal. So far as returns have come to my knowledge there will be a large majority of this State Convention federal."
On Sunday the 30th ult. the Right Rev. the Bishop of Connecticut preached a Charity Sermon in Trinity Church, Bolton, before the Episcopal Charitable Society.
And on the Thursday following he, in the same place, ordained the Rev. John C. Ogden, of Portsmouth, N. H. a Priest. At this solemnity attended his Excellency Governor Hancock, several Members of the Council and General Court of Massachusetts, most of the Clergy, and a large number of gentlemen and ladies of different denominations. The Bishop delivered a much admired sermon suited to the occasion, and explanatory of the ordination service used by the Church. On Saturday morning he set out on his return to his diocese in Connecticut, having met with every mark of deserved respect, from the Governor and other citizens of Boston, as well as from the Church in Marblehead, where he preached on Easter Sunday to a crowded assembly, and administered the apostolic rite of confirmation to one hundred and thirty persons.
Sir William Hamilton, from whom a circumstantial account is expected of the late eruption at Vesuvius, visited Mount Etna in 1769. He counted from the highest point of the mountain, 44 other mountains in the middle region on the side of Catania, and many others on the other side, which had been evidently raised by explosion!—The eruption here in 1766 buried a noble amphitheatre, an aqueduct, and many other monuments of ancient grandeur. As to Vesuvius, we find that its first eruption was in the time of Vespasian, when its ashes and smoke were not only carried to Rome, but into Africa, and even into Egypt!
A medical correspondent observes, that several very eminent men in the faculty have died through absorbing putrefaction, in handling dead bodies. He also remarks, that it appears wonderful to him, that such learned people, who have fallen victims to putrid dead carcasses, should not have known that an actual cautery is all that can be depended on in such cases, to be immediately laid upon the wound as soon as discovered. Even a poker made red hot and applied, will at any time hereafter do better than soap and water, or sweet oil. This hint is earnestly recommended to all and every of the faculty who study and practise so laudable an art as anatomy. Lond. Chron.
Married, last night, by the Rev. Mr. William O'Brien, THOMAS STOUGHTON, Esq. Merchant, of this city, to Miss LYNCH, of Ferrol, in Spain.
From the Philadelphia Evening Post.
Mr. Editor,
IN the 13th century, there arose a fanatical sect in Germany, called Whippers ; they used to run about the streets naked, whipping themselves and one another; thus punishing their bodies for the good of their souls. Smoller, speaking of this sect, says, that it never made its way to England, for, says he, the English were never fond of mortification. We may also remark, that of all the numerous religious sects that appear among us, not one of them seems fond of the discipline of the Whippers: on the contrary, some of them promise themselves the gratification of all their inclinations and passions in this world, and in the world to come, pleasures evermore. Comfortable doctrine, truly; and worthy to be embraced by every glutton, drunkard, epicure, and lecher, on the face of the earth.
But, sir, though we have no religious Whippers among us, we have political ones in abundance. Our newspapers may be filled the place of correction, where discipline is exercised on every rank, from Washington and Franklin, down to Folwell and Cooke. We read of a statute, of Henry the VIII. that was called the Whip with Six Strings; but our political whipsters make use of a scourge of six times six, and yet seem dissatisfied with the strokes they give; though some of the strings are enormously large, and fetch blood at almost every lash.
Let us examine this political whip a little: what a convenient handle it has got! It suits either the right or left hand:—malice, revenge, envy, or ill-will, are never at a loss to grasp it, under pretence of public justice or public good. What a number of strings hang to it! Let us count them; villain, scoundrel, wretch, reptile, liar, hypocrite, defaulter, jackall, tool, conspirator, embezzler, old midwife, excrescence, deserter, Margery, mustard-prinder, fidler, Jefferies, parasite, slave, devil—twenty-one large, besides a great number of smaller ones, which we cannot stay to reckon. What an unmerciful stroke it must give!
Look at that fellow there; he has got the whip, and is coming slyly up behind yon unsuspecting passenger; thwack, he comes across his back! see, how the man writhes with pain! while the whipster has hid himself up a dark alley. Observe that man with the mask on his face; he has pick'd up the whip; he thinks he is now disguised, and so he comes crack, over the face of one he had just before caressed in the most friendly manner; the poor man is now almost ashamed to shew his face.—
Look at that old sinner there; he seems a grave as a Judge, and yet he is putting the whip into the hands of that stout young fellow; see, they hide themselves behind that wall: aye, there the you-gster sneaks out, and falls unmercifully on that gray-headed old gentleman. What a scuffle ensues! Crack, crack, crack, goes the whip every one at his neighbor. Hey-day, what a hubbub! How they go, helter skelter, heels over head, topsy-turvy! Why, they will tear the whip all to pieces among them! Well, let them; it will give more employment to the whip-makers. Who are the whip-makers? There are, William, and Francis, and Eleazer & Daniel, and one lately begun, whose name is John: good men in the main, only blameable in making their whips too large and heavy, in tying too many strings to them, and not being careful enough to whom they fell or lend them; for when the whip gets into the hands of a bully, or a bruiser, or a madman, as we have seen, they not only fall on the wicked and ill-deserving, but attack the innocent and the righteous; to the great annoyance of the neighborhood where they live.
Well, the scuffle, you see, is almost over; and those mischievous fellows that began the fray have been found out; and, deservedly, have got a sound flogging, with that very whip, with which they wantonly attacked others. So, good bye.

THE FEDERAL TICKET. To the CITIZENS of NEW-YORK. A Number of your Fellow Citizens deep- ly impressed with the importance of the crisis, and convinced that it is your and their interest to be represented at the present juncture, by men unequivocally attached to the establishment of a firm national Govern- ment, beg leave respectfully to recommend to your support and choice, the following persons as
Delegates to the Convention. JOHN JAY, RICHARD MORRIS, ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON, JOHN SLOSS HOBART, JAMES DUANE, ALEXANDER HAMILTON, RICHARD HARRISON, ISAAC ROOSEVELT, NICHOLAS LOW.
As Members of the Senate. ISAAC ROOSEVELT, EZRA L'HOMME DIEU, PAUL MICHEAU.

In the nomination of persons, to be de- puted to the Convention, no difficulty oc- curred. We flatter ourselves the characters proposed, will unite the suffrages of all those who sincerely have at heart, "That "which appears to be the greatest inte- "rest of every true American,--the conso- "lidation of our Union, in which is in- "volved, our prosperity, felicity, safety, "perhaps our national existence."
In the determination on Members of the Senate and Assembly, some embarrassments have been experienced; the distance at which the Legislature are next to meet, calls for a sacrifice on the part of those who may be elected in this city and country, which few have it in their power to make. To fix upon persons qualified for the station, and possessed of the public confidence, who are at the same time in a situation to be able to serve, was a task of some difficulty: we shall be happy to find that you agree with us in opinion, that the persons now sub- mitted to your consideration, are worthy of your confidence and approbation.
Those who have in view the same object with ourselves, cannot but be sensible of the great importance of unanimity on the present occasion, and will consequently be on their guard against the artifices which already begin to be practised for the pur- pose of dividing them. In supporting the present nomination, let
ONE AND ALL be our motto. It is not only of consequence, that men of proper characters and sentiments should be chosen, but that the sense of the citizens should also appear in the choice. This will give weight to the exertions of your representatives, and manifest to the world, that no considerations of state influence and state interest, can induce the Patriotic and Independent Electors of this city, to betray the cause of the Union.

To be SOLD, An excellent FARM, lying at that noted place called Kinderhook Mills, a mile and a half from town, and six miles from the landing; con- taining 150 acres of choice land, part thereof is intervalle and extraordinary fine meadow, where there is yearly cut thirty ton of good hay, with a beautiful young and old orchard of about 200 trees, part thereof grafted, and the whole excellent fruit. A good FRAME HOUSE, with 4 rooms on a floor, one story and a half high, a fine cellar, a large store ready fixed for a merchant, a good Dutch barn a fine hand for trade or any public business, there having a store been kept for upwards of thirteen years, commands the trade from several districts and eastern towns back; it is very pleasantly situated where three roads meet, and is the best land of trade, I dare say, of any in the country, as all the produce that goes to landing from the eastward, must pass by the door. Also, the convenience of a GRIST MILL, with a fine stream of water, and the half of a new Dutch SAW MILL, adjoining the door, where good logs can be sawed in a season, and plenty of timber. The above place has been let a number of years for about $800. a year, and will now be sold lower than any person can expect, the situation and value considered. Also, a large and elegant BRICK HOUSE, situated at Schock, on the bank of Hudson's river, 57 feet in length, and 31 in breadth, two stories and a half high, 4 rooms on a floor, with a kitchen and cel- lar under the whole, and a fine water lot, the best in Schock, commands a fine prospect up and down the river of several miles distance, and a fine stand for trade; a new barn, fine well of water, and a beauti- ful garden spot. Any person chusing to purchase either of the above places, on paying one quarter of the money down, may almost have their own time of payment for the remainder, or goods will be taken at cash price, and a good title will be given for either, or both places. For further particular enquire of the subscriber, living at Kinderhook, or to GEORGE and WILLIAM LUDLOW, New- York. CORNELIUS SEBRING. Jan. 28. tf. raw. tf.
To be Sold Cheap at private Sale, THE place which William Provost formerly occupied, which for elegance of situation is perhaps equal to any in the State of New-Jersey, it lies three quarters of a mile from the church of Hackinack, and extends from the river up the road towards Paramus, being intersected by the road leading to the New Bridge: On the Lot next the river is a Stone DWELLING-HOUSE, two sto- ry high in front, and three in rear, having a fine dry Cellar and a Dwelling-Room underneath on the ground floor, (being built on the declivity of a hill) with a large Kitchen adjoining: Also, a Poultry- House and a new Barn; in the rear of the Dwelling-House is a beautiful Green, ornamented with Fruit-Trees; between which and the river, lies a valuable piece of Meadow, yielding about twenty-four loads of English hay yearly: to the rear of the meadow is a spacious and substantial Dock, newly made, on which is a Store with a large quantity of ashes, an extraordinary Spring and Well at the Dwelling-House, from which the Meadow may be watered: There is also a Garden with a variety of the best Fruit-Trees: On the Lot on the opposite side of the road stands a commodious Store, commanding the trade of the back country; also a young Orchard of good Fruit-Trees. The whole of the place contains about thirty-four or five acres, twelve of which are Wood-Land: the Land has been well manured with ashes: the whole of the Land inclosed with a new substantial fence. The beauty of this situation, and its advantages for trade, make it eligible either as a Country Seat or a place of business. To be Sold in three dif- ferent Lots, or the whole together, as may best suit the purchaser. For terms, apply to DIRCK LEF- FERTS, in Maiden-Lane, No. 21, New-York, who will give a good title for the same. The conditions of payment will be made easy to the Purchaser.
