By the brig Good Hope, in a short passage from Russia, which arrived since our last, we have received the following Extract of a letter from Cronstadt Male, (Russia) dated July 31, 1788.
"I find here nothing but war and preparations for war—the Swedes and Russians are earnestly engaged—there hath been one battle with their fleets, and another with their armies. The Russians brought in here a ship of 63 guns, with the rear admiral of the Swedes; and the Swedes have taken a 74 from them; the report is that the Russians have lost four sail of the line. I expect soon to hear of another engagement, for I fell in two days ago, with seven ships of the Swedes, and the port where their fleet is, is not above 35 leagues from this place, and it is said their fleet is superior to the Russians. Yesterday I passed thro' the Russian fleet, commanded by admiral Greg, consisting of seventeen sail of the line, and four frigates, they were not above ten leagues apart, and if the rest of the Swedes come out, there must be a severe action. Which of the armies got the better, am not able to inform you, but by what I can learn, both were willing to retire."
The general Court are to meet on Wednesday the 29th inst. agreeably to prorogation. President Langdon, has, by proclamation, required the meeting of the general court of New-Hampshire, on Wednesday the 5th November.
PORTLAND, October 9. [In the Salem paper of yesterday, is the following note to a paragraph in our paper of Wednesday last, respecting the Alliance Indian, viz.]
S A L E M, October 14. "We feel a degree of pleasure in laying, that Robert Morris, Esq. is not the only individual in America, of sufficient ability and enterprise to own an Indian and cargo. Elias Hasket Derby, Esq. of this town, has been solely concerned in several voyages to the East Indies: The ship Grand Turk, Capt. Wells, finished the first voyage made from New-England to Canton, in May, 1787; the ship Three Sisters, Capt. Nichols, sailed from this port in December, 1786, and was sold with her cargo in India; the bark Light-horse, Capt. Tucker, sailed for that quarter in January, 1787, and returned in January, 1788; the ship Grand Turk, Capt. Derby, sailed in December, 1787; ship Juno, Capt. Elkins, in January, 1788, but foundered a short time after her departure; ship Light-horse, Capt. Nichols, last August; and the ship Atlantic, Capt. Elkins, last month: These vessels, with their valuable cargoes, were all the property of Mr. Derby: And perhaps instances of equal enterprise in an individual, is scarce to be found in Europe or America. Thus far Salem paper, we add, that alderman Macauley, of London, is the only individual in England, who is the sole owner of an India ship."
C A R L I S L E, (Pennsylvania) Oct. 1. On Thursday last, about noon, were seen, by a lover of philosophy in this town, to the westward of the sun, those two most beautiful planets, Jupiter and Venus, not very distant from each other; and the moon almost directly between them. Venus was very plain to the unassisted eye; and when viewed through the telescope exactly resembled the moon, as then appearing to the naked eye; being in the same position, and of the same shape. The telescope was necessary to a distinct view of Jupiter, the air not being very clear, and then he appeared as a full moon. Early in the morning, three of Jupiter's moons were also to be seen, on that side of him on which our moon was placed; so that the prospect then was pleasing in the highest degree.
Some, perhaps, not versed in astronomy, would wish to know how these and other appearances of the planets are to be accounted for. Let such, then, imagine that there is before them an extensive plain, surrounded with a circular and lofty wall, painted blue, and ornamented with artificial stars; and also divided into twelve equal portions. Round a centre in this plain let seven circles be described, to represent the orbits of the seven primary planets. On the circles let seven persons be placed, to move round the common center in the same way, but with different degrees of celerity; for instance, the person on the third circle to move about twelve times round, while the one on the fifth moves but once round. Let each of the seven have a globe placed on his head, which he can make to move on an axis, as he goes along. Let the first be called Mercury; the second, a woman of great beauty, called Venus; the third, the American Newton, Rittenhouse, of modest mein; the fourth, some hero, called Mars; the fifth, a prince-like person, named Jupiter, with four attendants moving round him at different distances; the sixth, a like person, with five such attendants, and his name Saturn; and let Hercules himself, in his immense circle, move on with his two attendants, eagerly contemplating the system at the verge of which he stands. Let the attendant youths carry in their hands, raised to a proper height, much smaller spheres than those above-mentioned. Let the Newton of the new world, who has the earth on his head, instead of a youth to wait on him, carry in his own hand a globe to represent the moon, making it to revolve around his head in the exact manner.
Here now are globes, and powers to move them; but they are all involved in the shades of night. Let us then next imagine that a candle of vast size and brightness is placed in the center to illuminate the whole. How glorious the scene! How many grand objects now strike the eye! The globes, small and great, are half enlightened; nor can they at any time be more by the direct rays of the central luminary. An eye, at the centre, would always see these several globes fully illuminated; but this could not be the case any where else. Now let R. with his globe in his hand, look around him, and relate his observations. Let him walk round the great candle, completing a circle. The candle will seem to touch the wall, and to describe a circle upon it. (This explains the sun's apparent annual motion in the heavens.) Let him at any place turn round upon his heel, looking at the objects before him; and if he could forget that he moved, he would suppose that the wall, with all upon it, has made a revolution. And if he thus turns repeatedly, the candle will appear and disappear in turns. (This accounts for the rising and setting of the sun and other heavenly objects.) Let him hold the globe in his hand, between his eye and the candle; then the dark side alone is towards him, and the candle may be partly hid. (This explains a solar eclipse.) Let him place his head between the candle and globe; he then sees the whole enlightened face, or perhaps the shadow of the globe on his head may conceal the whole or part of the globe in his hand. (This is a lunar eclipse.) And when he looks at Venus or Mercury, which are sometimes on the right, sometimes on the left of the candle; now between him and the candle, again beyond it; he sees the reason why they exhibit the same appearances as the moon in all situations.
observer and the candle. He sees them all as appearing on the distant wall, moving in a seemingly irregular manner; sometimes they are going backwards, sometimes at a stand, and then resuming their wonted course. But the curious observer sees plainly that all this irregularity is only apparent, and is the strongest possible argument of the perfect harmony of the system.

On Tuesday, the 30th ult. the election for Aldermen and Assistants, was held in the respective wards of the city of Albany, and at the close the polls stood as follows:
Table with 3 columns: Ward, Candidates, Votes. Includes names like Peter W. Yates, John Price, Mr. Jochim Staats, etc.
A scrutiny was applied for on the polls of the first and second wards. In laying down the principles for governing the same, debates arose in the Common Council, on the question "Whether persons who had resided here a number of years should be considered inhabitants, and entitled to vote, without the freedom of the city;" on taking the division, there appeared
For the affirmative: Thomas Hun, Robert M'Callen, Leonard Gansevoort, jun. For the negative: John Price, Henry Ten Eyck, Peter W. Dow. The board being equally divided, his worship the mayor, gave his casting vote in the negative.
On the 3d inst. the scrutiny commenced between Peter Lansing, esq. and John Price, esq. for the office of alderman, and James Fairlie, esq. and Mr. Arie Lagrange, assistant, in the first ward, and on Monday evening the scrutiny was finished, when Mr. Price was declared alderman, and Mr. Lagrange, assistant.
The board, on Friday morning, proceeded to the scrutiny between Theodorus V. W. Graham, esquire, and Gylbert Marcellus, esquire, for the office of alderman of the second ward, when Mr. Graham entered his protest—1st against the power of that board to make such scrutiny—2d. against the principles laid down as qualifications for the inhabitants to make them electors, and retired. After which, the board having heard the evidence produced by Mr. Marcellus, resolved that he was elected to the office of alderman.
To the PRINTER. S I R, You informed us in a late paper, that the "Convention of the Presbyterian Churches" met in this city, which has led me to enquire into the difference between the two denominations included in this general name. By publishing the result of my enquiries, you may satisfy some of your readers, and oblige your friend and customer, SPECTATOR. The difference between the Dutch and Presbyterian Churches. THE respective confessions of faith and catechisms differ only in words and form. The government of both is presbyterian, and so nearly alike that the people may properly be called Dutch and English presbyterians. The judicature of a particular church or congregation, the Dutch call a Consistory; the English, a Session. Among the Dutch, the elders and deacons who form the consistory continue in office for two years, when their places are supplied by a new election, one half retiring every year. Among the English the elders and deacons continue for life, or during good behavior. The consistory manages both temporal and spiritual concerns, has the power of calling a minister, with the advice of the general consistory, which is made up of all those who have been from time to time in office. The session manages only spiritual concerns, the temporal being committed to a number of trustees, members of the church. The next church-judicature the Dutch call a Classis; the English a Presbytery. It consists of a number of ministers and elders, more or less, from several churches, is a council for those churches, receives appeals and references from the lower judicature, and has the power of ordination to the ministry. The third church-judicature both call a Synod, to which the Dutch add the title of High Reverend. Among the Dutch it is composed of deputies from every classis, but among the English every minister has a seat. From this circumstance of deputies, on as well as the consistory being self-elected and ex-
ercising the power of inducing the minister, the government of the Dutch inclines more than that of the English to aristocracy. The English have lately divided into four Synods, and constituted a still higher judicature called a General Assembly, which consists of deputies from all the presbyteries in their churches. In the mode of worship the Dutch and English essentially agree. There are two denominations of the latter, which differ from the very same denomination differ from one another. From this brief view of these two denominations of Christians, it appears that they do by no means differ so widely or so essentially as the Jewish and Gentile converts in the primitive church, whom the apostle exhorted to receive one another as Christ also received them. The fears, however, of some left an union should take place, discover their ignorance of human nature. The prejudices of education, added to imaginary interest in a few, will keep them some time a part. The people of America are, perhaps, not as jealous of their religion as their civil rights, nor as well instructed in them. With respect to the Dutch, many of them are unacquainted with their own constitution. While other denominations have reviewed their constitutions, adapted them to this country, and published them to the world, the Dutch continue in a myleious connection with Holland, and hide every thing from the public eye. As far as I can discover, the advocates for union never thought of such a one as would remove all distinctions between these churches. This is not practicable, nor perhaps advisable. They thought, I am informed, that there might be a bond of union by which the minister and people might receive and treat one another as brethren; the ministers inviting one another to preach when convenient; the people, when mixed in a settlement, uniting and calling a minister of that denomination, the majority might chuse; but the two churches, at the same time, remaining entirely distinct, retaining each its own name, using its own modes, and holding forever its own estates or funds.

COAL TAR.
A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by
Charles Wilkes,
No. 12, Hanover-square. The sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company.
THE superior excellence of this Tar in pre- serving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the Bri- tish Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public. New-York, April 26, 1788.
WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van Tuyl's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, one payed over with lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other, two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we after- wards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said wharf.
That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grass and barnacles, the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as sound and fresh as when put down.
From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bot- tom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. Signed) John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Crossfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander
