L O N D O N, March 11. Extract of a letter from Paris, Feb. 25. "A very scandalous pamphlet, under the name of 'Arriere des Provençaux,'" has been severely forbidden by the Police. In it nothing less is proposed to the French nation, than to imitate the United Provinces of America."
The project lately suggested in the House of Commons of Ireland, for removing the burying places without the town, reminds a correspondent of what M. de Voltaire says on the same subject, in his Catherine de Vade's Preface to the tales of William de Vade.
The corruption of so many corpses that are buried in Paris, in or near the Churches, necessarily infects the air, and, as young Poley says, much to the purpose, when deliberating whether he should grant Pompey an asylum. "Their purifying bodies taint the air, And with the living wage perpetual war." "This ridiculous and odious custom of paving the churches with the dead, occasions in Paris, every year, epidemical disorders; and all the deceased contribute, more or less, to infect their company. The Greeks and Romans were much wiser than we; their burying-places were without the cities; and even now there are many nations in Europe where this salutary custom prevails."
Advices from Constantinople of the 10th ult. say, that a report generally prevailed in the capital of that empire, that the English government would be inclined to permit the Russian fleet (which is expected to proceed next from the Baltic to the Mediterranean) to anchor and take in provisions in their ports; and as it was supposed that the English would undertake to escort this fleet as far as the Archipelago, the Ottoman minister demanded of the English envoy an explicit declaration relative to the resolutions of his court on the subject; to which the minister refused to give any reply, until he should receive the formal orders of his court on that head.
On Saturday the 1st instant, the twenty guinea prize sword, given by the society of fencers, was adjudged to Mr. Lynch, a young gentleman from Ireland, and student in the Inner Temple. There were four candidates, who all displayed vast skill, dexterity, and scientific knowledge on the occasion. The spectators, to the number of three hundred, were composed of many Noblemen, Foreign Ambassadors, and gentry of distinction, of both sexes. Madame La Ch valiere D'Eon presented Mr. Lynch with the sword, and at the same time complimented him in French on his skill and success; to which Mr. Lynch replied in French, "that though highly fortunate in having gained the sword, it was the most fortunate circumstance of his life to have the honor of receiving it from her." The Duke of York's band played between the assaults. The fencers, and a great number of their friends, afterwards dined at the Thatched-house, St. James's-street, and concluded the day in the most cordial and convivial manner.
N E W - L O N D O N, April 25. The Rev. Dr. Whitney, of Pomfret, is appointed by his Excellency the Governor to preach the sermon at the ensuing election. Last Sunday, a child of Capt. John Wilson, of Preston, aged 5 years, was drowned in the river near Jewett's Bridge. Died at Lyme, on the 14th inst. Mr. John Lay, in the 92d year of his age; who has now living, five brothers and sisters, the youngest of whom is past 70.

To THOMAS GREENLEAF. INSTEAD of addressing yourself to the Citizen, who in the Daily Advertiser of Saturday last, made some animadversions on your conduct, respecting the surreptitious publication, which issued from your press last Tuesday, I perceive you are disposed to turn the merits of the question betwixt you and the public, into a low, personal attack upon the Printer. Little disposed as I am, to have any altercation with you, yet as you have called for assistance to unravel this strange transaction, accept then, sagacious Thomas, my moiety of information on this subject.
When you published Woodridge's puffs, you may recollect that you told us the ASSERTION OF THAT GENTLEMAN!!! was your authenticity. As the following affidavit may tend to throw some light on this dark affair, it is much at your service; it is my authenticity.
State of New-York, ss. PERSONALLY appeared before me Richard Morris, Esq. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Judicature for the State of New-York, George Knox, who deposeth and saith, that he called on Thomas Greenleaf on Wednesday, the 30th day of April last, and asked him what authority he had for publishing the paragraph, announcing that Thomas Woodridge was appointed Vice Consul for the four eastern States; he hesitated a little and then replied he had it from the eastern papers; this deponent then asked him, which of the eastern papers? he answered the Boston papers; to which this deponent said he had seen all the late Boston papers, but there was no such paragraph in any of them: The said Thomas Greenleaf then said he got it from Mr. Woodridge: This deponent then asked him, when it was printed? he answered on Tuesday; that this deponent then went home and examined his (Greenleaf's) paper of Tuesday, but found no such paragraph in it: that this deponent called again and asked for one of those Tuesday's papers; a young man who attends the shop of the said Greenleaf, gave this deponent one, and at the same time mentioned that if he (the deponent) wanted to see the paragraph respecting Woodridge's appointment, it was not in that paper nor any he had in the shop, as the carriers had taken them all out.
Since that time, the man, whose name this deponent does not know, and who says he works at Greenleaf's press, confessed to this deponent that all the newspapers intended for that day were wrought off before the paragraph was inserted, and that they had to put up the first form, in order to print off the papers intended for Woodridge. Sworn this 5th day of May, 1788, before RICHARD MORRIS. Mr. Woodridge received the whole of that edition.
The discerning public, by comparing the above, and by combining circumstances, will be at no loss to judge of the intention of the quondam Alderman, nor of the motives which induced you to publish the paragraph. Permit me, Thomas, before we part, to assure you, that you have neither satisfied every liberal mind, as to the uprightness of your conduct in this business, nor indeed have you attempted to do so. The particulars relating to the subject, which were touched upon by me, in this paper of Saturday last, you very wisely pass over. In your brilliant address of this day, which is annexed as a masterly piece of composition, you have spluttered, and blustered, and threatened, and all to very great purpose. You talk of my quibbling on an error in the date of your apology; you have not yet put it right, should it be April 30, May 1, or May 2! All those days passed on
before your "decent" publication made its appearance. Say what you will, it appears that even in this, you had deception in view; you wished to make the public believe that you had contradicted the paragraph in season. To be serious, you had as good say nothing further on this mysterious business, unless you tell the truth, and make an honest concession. But I would really counsel you, as a friend, to be quiet; for I suspect if you go on, (to use a scrip of language, with which you appear to be conversant) "the more you stir, the more you'll stir-k."
A CITIZEN. May 5. * TO FRANCIS CHILD. EVER averse to a party spirit—never willing to be carried away upon the wings of mad enthusiasm on any subject—and striving always to measure my conduct by the philosophic square of reason and justice—I have hitherto, notwithstanding many Billinggate attacks, preferred a clear coast, and a peaceful haven. I would even now, continue peaceful, but the ebullition, published in your paper of Saturday, is of a kind that demands particular notice, the sole intention of it being, to destroy my credit and reputation, both as an editor of a public newspaper, and as a man of probity.
The circumstance of a late publication was apologized for to the public, in Friday's Register, in a decent, and faithful manner. Believing that address satisfactory to every liberal mind, and being perfectly satisfied with the uprightness of my own intentions, I shall make no reply to your quibbles respecting a wrong date, or your villainous falsehoods in several respects, but proceed to observe further—that failing on the scale of politics to hurt me, you have now recourse, as the last resort, to this little subterfuge;—thus convincing me and every candid reader, that you are capable of every littleness—that your soul is fraught with every baseness; and of consequence, that every philanthropic and liberal sentiment is a stranger to you; otherwise you would not have presumed thus to attack me. I aver, that you cannot bring a single charge against me, of a wilful and criminal nature. I therefore demand, that you inform the public (or abide by the consequences) that your sole intention was, by those publications, to invalidate my reputation; destroy my credit; and hurt my interest, that your own establishment might be the more permanent. These are the more eligible features of those publications, for which every liberal mind must condemn you, and with which I charge you, proving your conduct inexpressibly contemptible. THOMAS GREENLEAF. May 5, 1788.
THE above attack on the PRINTER of this Paper is intended to introduce a personal controversy with him, and call off the public attention from a most infamous attempt to impose upon the Citizens of New-York, and to assist a base and designing character in the most nefarious practices; the subject matter of which has been the town-talk for several days, and very justly excited general indignation: But this is too stale a trick to be of any service to Mr. Greenleaf. And, besides, all politics are out of the question. His proper business was to remove the stigmas that were fixed upon him by two Pieces in our Paper of Saturday last; from his silence on that head, we are to suppose, that "through multiplicity of business he had forgotten it"; and the charges are left against him in full force. He did so once before, with respect to some news laid to be brought from Virginia by an honorable gentleman; as if the standing rule of his conduct was to shuffle, and to evade. He intimates that our intention was to "invalidate his reputation, destroy his credit, and hurt his interest;" we know not that he possesses either reputation, credit, or interest; but this we know, that he is an object only of our pity and contempt, and that we feel ourselves dishonored by being brought in contact with him. We never refuse Pieces which detect villainy, even in a Printer; and notwithstanding his mean artifice in attempting to change his object of attack, and infamous scurrility in conducting it, if he can, with decency and truth, exculpate himself, we shall, even yet, to evidence the strictness of our regard to justice, allow him the opportunity of that general and extensive circulation for his defence, which the same sense of duty gave to the charges exhibited against him.

MONTMORIN.
THIS TOWN, laid out at the solicitation of several Gentlemen, is delightfully situated on the north bank of the Ohio river, on a beautiful plain that is not liable to be overflowed, in a healthy and fertile country, about 18 miles below Fort Pitt, on the road to Fort McIntosh, in Westmoreland county, in the State of Pennsylvania, and at the ancient settle- ment formerly called Logstown, which was abandon- ed previous to the peace of 1763, where an extensive trade was carried on many years.
MONTMORIN commands an extensive view of the river; the soil is equal to any on the Ohio, and a- bounds in coal; the navigation from thence down the river is superior to that of Fort Pitt, as the wa- ter is at all seasons much deeper at this place, and where provisions, boats, &c. may in a little time be as well furnished. It is on the great communi- cation or route from the Haltern and middle States to the Muskinghums, Miami and Kentucky settle- ments; as well as the Illinois, Mississippi, &c. and will probably become the new country seat: the great emigrations to the Western country render it a very desirable spot, and afford a flattering prospect of its speedy establishment. The streets are spacious, be- ing all 66 feet wide; except Great George, Wash- ington, Hancock and Clinton-streets, which are 90 feet; the squares are divided into 20 lots, from 44 to 47 feet front, and 220 feet in depth, and all the lots are accommodated with lanes. Five squares, or 100 lots, as distinguished in the plan, will be vested in suites for public use, and to accommodate schools and religious societies of every denomination. The town lots will be numbered, and arranged draught to prevent any kind of preference; and to facilitate the settlement, they will be sold at the moderate price of TEN DOLLARS each, to be paid on the del- ivery of certificates of purchase. Those who buy ten town lots, will be entitled to a five acre outlot, gratis.
The appropriation of the lots will be made under the superintendence or direction of the Honorable Thomas M'Rean, Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, Gen. Muhlenberg and Heister, Matthew Clarkson and Richard Bache, Esqrs. on or before the first of June next; after which, on application, indispu- table titles in fee simple, agreeably to the said appro- priation, will be delivered gratis to the purchasers, their agents or attorneys. Certificates for lots sold, and the plan of the town to be seen at the house of Mr. Levi Hollingsworth, Mr. Mark Wilcox, Mr. Tho- mas Bradford, and at the Coffee-House, Philadel- phia; Mr. John Delafield, New-York; General Heister, Reading; John Hubley, Esq. Lancaster; Mr. Heckenvelder, Bethlehem; Major Isaac Craig, Fort Pitt; and Colonel Stephen Bayard, Elizabeth-Town, Westmoreland County. ISAAC MELCHER. Philadelphia, Sept. 1. 1787.
EXTRACT. Page 10, Colonel Bouquet's Expedi- tion, 1764, Friday, Oct. 5. "In this day's march the army passed through Logstown, situated seventeen and a half miles fifty-seven perches, by the path, from Fort Pitt. This place was noted before the last war, for the great trade carried on there by the En- glish and French; but its inhabitants, the Shawanese and Delawares, abandoned it in the year 1750. The lower town extended about 60 perches over a rich bottom to the foot of a low steep ridge; on the summit of which, near the declivity, stood the up- per town, commanding a most agreeable prospect over the lower, and quite across the Ohio, which is about 500 yards wide here, and by its majestic easy current adds much to the beauty of the place. Pro- ceeding beyond Logstown we passed through a fine country, &c."
* * Those who are desirous of further information respecting the soil and situation of Montmorin, are referred to Governor St. Clair, General Irvine, Geo. Morgan and Matthew Clarkson, Esquires, or any o- ther gentleman acquainted in the Western Country. Ibid. April 5.
