Foreign Intelligence.
[By the ship George, from Glasgow, which arrived on Monday in 27 days, we have received intelligence to the 23rd April, viz.]
CONSTANTINOPLE, February 22.
THE Grand Divan, which was assembled here on the 11th inst. came to the resolution of releasing Monf. de Bulgacow, the Russian Minister, and the Russian subjects, detained in the Seven Towers. Monf. de Bulgacow is preparing to depart by sea, and has given orders to freight ships for himself, his drugoman, and their families, for Leghorn.
Baron de Herbert, the Imperial Internuncio, and his interpreters, with all their families, departed from Constantinople the 15th inst. on board two French merchantmen, bound for Leghorn.
ROME, March 18.
A courier arrived here from Naples, informs us, that the King of the two Sicilies had lately suppressed four of the richest monasteries in Padua,
which alarmed the Pope so much, that he called a consultation of the Bishops and Generals of the regular orders, to know their opinion on this violation of the rights of his Holiness.
VIENNA, March 28.
We just hear the news that the Prince of Saxe-Cobourg made himself master of Choczim on the 16th instant, after an action in which 1200 Russians were killed, and 3400 Turks.
From the LONDON GAZETTE,
WHITEHALL, April 19.
YESTERDAY afternoon Francis James Jackson, Esq. arrived at the office of the Marquis of Carmarthen, his Majesty's principle Secretary of State for foreign affairs, with the treaty of defensive alliance between his Majesty and the States General of the United Provinces, which was signed, at the Hague, on the 15th inst. by his Excellency Sir James Harris, Knight of the Bath, his Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to their High Mightinesses, and by the Deputies of the States General duly authorised for that purpose.
L O N D O N, April 14—23.
The trial of Mr. Hastings "drags its slow length along"—and will continue to find employment for the managers for this year, at least—Erskine has been heard to say, that it may be protracted by due course of law, for four or five years—and indeed, an evidence that cost fourteen years in collecting cannot be supposed to be examinable in as many months.
Sir William Pepperel, and a committee of the American loyalists had an interview on Saturday with Mr. Pitt, at his house in Downing-street, concerning the future provision to be made by government, for those unfortunate people.
Private letters from Vienna mention, that the Austrians being desirous of returning some Turkish prisoners whom they found difficult to subsist, received for answer from the Turkish commanders as follows: "That they disclaimed cowards, who preferred being taken to dying honorably with arms in their hands; that if the Austrians did not think proper to give them provisions, they were at liberty either to cut their throats, or to suffer them to die with hunger; that it was useless ever to expect a cartel, since they were firmly resolved never to make any prisoners, nor give quarter to any whom they should find with arms in their hands."
The late action between the Turks and Austrians lasted full three hours, during which the Ottomans were not intimidated by the continual discharge of the artillery nor the fire of three divisions of infantry. As a further proof of their spirit on this occasion, they carried off three small ships to Belgrade in the face of the enemy.
The mails which arrived to day are perfectly silent as to all the amusing reports which have been for some days circulated here of the Empress's dethronement, death, &c.
April 17. The parliament of Thoulouze, who have long and gallantly stood up in the defence of their privileges, exerted themselves so much of late against the Lettres de Cachet, that orders were sent down to seize the president! This was done;—but before the officer could convey away his prisoner, a numerous multitude rose, and contrary to the remonstrances of the president himself, released him. In the evening, the president returned of his own accord to the officer, and begged he would obey the king's commands; but the officer, alarmed by the menaces of the people, who had declared that in the defence of their privileges, thus attacked, they would readily meet death, excused himself from taking the president along with him; and returned to Paris, to report the issue of his orders.
This is the first act of resistance against the military; and the disturbance is propitious.
We are assured that the Dutch treaty, which has been so long on the tapis, is at length signed, and the final ratification of it is expected from Holland on Friday.
His majesty's person was extremely endangered one day last week, by the striking of a vicious horse in the Mews, at Buckingham-house. The attendant page advised the king not to touch him, remarking he was rather vicious inclined; notwithstanding which his majesty went up to him, when the animal struck at him with uncommon violence, both heels passing within an inch of the king's head!
The loss the French have suffered by the destruction of their ships in the gale of wind which lately happened at the Mauritius, is computed at 14,400,000 livres; and it is singular that this dreadful gale was confined to the island, at least it was not felt ten leagues from it.
The late dismissal of the Duke of Brunswick from the command of the Prussian forces, immediately after his important services in bringing about the revolution in Holland in favor of the Stadtholder, augu's something weak, unsonud, and unsafe in the politics of that court; the precipitate execution also of Prince Henry to Versailles, immediately upon the event, looks as if Prussia was sorry for what has lately been done; and that a proper submission must be made to that court, for the late expulsion of their good friends, the patriots, out of Holland.
All the reports about the death and the abdication of the empress of Russia come to us from Paris, where these reports may be more easily credited than here. The French with most ardently for the accession of the grand Duke, who has been thoroughly initiated in their politics, and had shewn a strong predilection for the Gallic nation.
It is said that what principally retards the completion of the treaty with the states general of the united provinces, is the accommodation of our interests in India.
The article in the treaty with Holland, which causes the present demur, is that which allows a free navigation to the Dutch Spice Islands. If the minister can accomplish this, it will make his peace with the East India company, and reconcile them to all his usurpations.
The final signature of the treaty between England and Prussia, will, it is confidently said, be immediately followed by a marriage between the two Royal houses.
The republic of Venice now holds the balance between the belligerent powers. In time of war, she can equip 26 ships of the line; the materials for which are always kept ready in her arsenals. In time of peace she employs about 12 or 14,000 seamen, whom she can augment to 30,000.
The regency of Algiers are fitting out seven large vessels for the service of the Porte. One of them is commanded by Sidi Abdallah, an English renegado, who is said to be the best and most intrepid seaman in the service of the Dey. He has but one arm, yet is very expert on board of ship, and has signally proved his valour on several occasions.
It is believed at Vienna, that the imperial internuncio, after having taken refuge with the Russian Ambassador in the prison of the Seven Towers, was secretly conveyed, by order of the Divan, on board of a neutral ship, and landed at Leghorn.
The Venetian senate are said to have assured his imperial majesty, through their ambassador at Vienna, that they will not suffer any Turkish squadron to enter the Adriatic.
The letters which accompanied the mails of Wednesday, confirm the dismissal of the Duke of Brunswick from the command of the Prussian forces, but do not account for this extraordinary affair, although perhaps it may not be of any alarming tendency. It is to be remembered that this
Duke of Brunswick is brother-in-law to our sovereign.
Extract of a letter from Vienna, March 24.
"Pressing orders have been received from the Emperor, for 19 battalions of infantry, posted in this capital, to be marched immediately for the grand army. They are getting ready of course, but will not be at the place of destination till towards the end of this month."
"Accounts lately received from Constantinople, by the way of Ragusa, have quieted those alarms for the safety of the Imperial Internuncio, which his family and friends before entertained. It now appears that he was suffered quietly to depart, after communicating the declaration of war."
"The Gazette Extraordinary of the 2d of April mentions the defeat of a body of 500 Turks, near Targueill, by Major Kinner of the first regiment of foot."
"Lieutenant Suillerad, posted with 32 men of the first regiment of Wallachians behind Reskur, was attacked on the 16th of March by a body of 1235 Turks; the assault began in the morning, and was sustained with astonishing bravery. The advantageous situation of the Austrians enabled them to repulse the enemy in eight vigorous attacks made in the space of four hours. About two o'clock the next morning, the Turks were obliged to retire with the loss of thirty men, the Austrians having only five killed and three wounded."
"At Chatim, a party of two thousand Turks were repulsed in an unsuccessful attack upon our troops."
"A party of Turks embarked at New-Orlova, with a design to surprise one of our advanced pickets, but were repulsed with loss."
"Count Wartenstieben detached a body of Turkish volunteers, to attack a transport of two hundred ho's loaded with provisions, and guarded by one thousand of their countrymen. The volunteers acquitted themselves well, took part of the provisions, and obliged the Ottomans to retreat precipitately with the remainder."
Extract from the Supplement Extraordinary to the Vienna Court Gazette of the 2d of April.
"On the 13th of March the Prince of Saxe-Cobourgh advanced with his whole force in four columns, into the country of Moldavische in Galitzia—The first column took post at Borya, the second at Littenmare near Suczawa and Seret, the third near Dorogore, and the fourth near Horeza; by which all the corps posted in the seven mountains, and near Okna, can either assist him or be assisted, as necessity may require; and the Prince has also made himself master of the great salt works at Okna."
"The Prince writes, that a body of 2000 Tartars had assembled near Choczim, and had sent out 700 men to keep up a continual Parole, and to watch his motions, but that he had provided a body of men to oppose any attempts they might make."
"Lieutenant General Wartenstieben reports, by advices from General Phillis, dated March 11, that at day-break in the morning, a body of Turks sallied out of the fortress of New Orlova, and made an attempt on the Imperial pickets, in which they failed, and were obliged to retire again to the fort, with the loss of four killed, and about forty wounded. The Imperialists had only four wounded."
"The General adds, that, in consequence of his being informed of 200 ho's loaded with flour, and escorted by 1000 men, intended to succour Belgrade, he ordered a party out to meet them, and they had so far succeeded as to take all the horses and their loading, after killing 200 Turks and the Tesserday who commanded them, besides wounding a number; the rest of the corps fled to Tupna."
"Immediately after this, 900 Turks, who came from Jagodina, with a view of assisting those who had been defeated, appeared in sight, when after a slight action, in which they lost a number of men, they retired also."
New-York, June 19.
ARRIVED in this port the Schooner Success, Tullock, New-Providence; Sloop Betsey, Woodman, Bonavista; ship Ann and Susan, Newry; brig Betsey, Ablin, Dublin, in 9 weeks and three days.
Captain Ablin brings no papers.
The ship Fire-Brand is on sho'e at the Narrows.
Captain Sinnott arrived at Dublin in seven weeks from this port.
Yesterday passed by this city up the North-River, a ship and a brig, names unknown.
It is said, that our Hudson neighbour's ship, the Columbia, Captain Bunker, which arrived here on Tuesday (having touched at St. Bartholomew) in 5 months and 17 days from Canton, in China, has on board a considerable quantity of Hyson Tea, which comes to a good market. We have not yet learned any particulars respecting her voyage.
In our last meeting of the Virginia convention, and the appointment of their president on the second inst. was noted—since which we have been favoured with the proceedings of that honorable body from their first setting to the present, inclusive, which consists chiefly of the appointments of officers, and resolves respecting the mode of procedure upon the great subject of the proposed constitution.—The interesting paragraphs in these proceedings are as follows:—
IN CONVENTION (Virginia)
MONDAY, June 2, 1788.
On motion, Ordered, That a committee of privileges and elections be appointed;
And a committee was appointed of his Excellency Governor Randolph, Messrs. Benjamin Harrison, George Mason, Henry, George Nicholas, John Marshall, Paul Carrington, Tyler, Alexander White, Blair, Bland, Grayson, Fisher, Matthews, John Jones, Wythe, William Cabell, James Taylor, of Carolina, Gabriel Jones, Corbin, Innes, Monroe, Henry Lee, and Bullitt.
On motion, Ordered, That Mr. Augustine Davis be appointed printer to the convention, and that he cause to be struck, forthwith, two hundred co-

mes of the plan of the federal government, also two hundred copies of the resolutions of the general assembly of the 25th of October last, to be distributed among the members of this convention.
TUESDAY, June 3.
The convention met at the New Academy on Scholock-hill, pursuant to adjournment.
The resolution of Congress of the eighteenth September last, together with the report of the federal convention, lately held in Philadelphia, the resolutions of the general assembly of the twenty-fifth of October last, and the act of the general assembly, entitled, "an act concerning the convention to be held June next," were read; whereon
Resolved, That no question, general or particular, shall be propounded in this convention, upon the proposed constitution of government for the United States, or upon any clause or article thereof, until the said constitution shall have been discussed, clause by clause, through all its parts.
THURSDAY, June 5.
The convention, according to the order of the day, resolved itself into a committee of the whole convention, to take into further consideration the proposed constitution of government for the United States; after some time spent therein, Mr. President resumed the chair, and Mr. Wythe reported, that the committee had, according to order, again had the said proposed constitution under their consideration, and made a farther progress therein; but not having time to go through the same, had directed him to move the convention for leave to sit again.
[On the 7th the convention again resolved itself into a committee of the whole; resumed the subject, made farther progress, Mr. Wythe in the chair, who moved for leave to sit again; on which it was resolved, that the convention adjourn until Monday (the 9th) and then to sit again in committee.]
Just as this paper was going to press the following interesting intelligence was received.
Extract of a letter from Poughkeepsie, dated June 17, 1788.
"At 12 o'clock this day, 51 members of the Convention assembled at the Court-house. His EXCELLENCY the GOVERNOR was appointed President. They then proceeded to ballot for a committee to prepare rules for their government as deliberative assembly, and thereupon Mr. Lansing, Mr. Jones, Mr. Haring, Mr. Duane, and Mr. Richard Morris, were chosen. They then adjourned till to-morrow 10 o'clock."
We have not yet learned any thing important from New-Hampshire whose convention was to have met at Concord on Tuesday last, the same day as that of this State at Poughkeepsie.
None of the debates in the convention of Virginia have yet transpired, but we are informed, that many of the most brilliant speakers in that assembly, have been two and three hours upon their legs. From the subsequent authentic extract some ideas may be formed respecting the prevalent opinion.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Richmond to his friend in this city, dated June 9.
"It affords us matter of great consolation to find that the sentiments of a vast majority of Virginians, are in unison with those of our northern friends. I am satisfied four fifths of our inhabitants are opposed to the new scheme of government. Indeed in the part of this country lying south of James River, I am confident nine tenths are opposed to it."
"The friends and seekers of power have, with their usual subtlety, wriggled themselves into the choice of the people, by assuming shapes as various as the faces of the men they address on such occasions."
"I can assure you, that North-Carolina is more decidedly opposed to the new government than Virginia. The people there seem ripe for hazarding all before they submit."
"We learn, that the legislature of Virginia are to convene, by special proclamation, on the 23d inst. to debate upon the subject matter addressed to them by the court of appeals."
"Eight states have ratified the proposed constitution—There is now in session the conventions of Virginia, New-York, and New-Hampshire; North-Carolina will meet next month; Rhode-Island—mum.—This may, therefore, be considered, on all hands, as a most interesting era. "Peace—be still—the God of America has issued his awful mandate"—Whether to obliterate from the recording page of American history the name of Freedom, or to establish her upon the basis of everlasting liberty, seems to be the subject of the present interesting disputation."
A Shelburne paper of the 29th ult. has the following paragraph: "Yesterday arrived the Schooner Sally, Capt. Hare, from Liverpool, last from Lisbon. Just before Capt. Hare, left Lisbon, notice was put up in the British vice count's office, of letters being received from the governor of Gibraltar, informing that the emperor of Morocco was about to declare war against Great Britain, and that there was reason to apprehend some Moorish vessels had already got cruising commissions. At the same time sailed from Lisbon, under convoy of a Portuguese squadron, a large Moorish ship, which had been lying there unemployed a very long time."
Extract of a letter from Richmond, June 2.
"It was to-day agitated whether the short hand gentlemen should be suffered to take down the business of the house, for public information. Opposed by Henry, Mason, Grayson, and White, with success. Mr. Mason rested his opposition upon this ground, that these gentlemen were strangers, that it was an important trust for any one—for not only the people at large might be misinformed, but a fatal slip might be given to a gentleman of the house from a perversion of his language—that it was a breach of privilege, and had been frequently determined to by the house of commons—that to shew the member who moved this question, that his objections proceeded from those principles, and not from a wish to be again a member of another conclave, he had given his voice for an adjournment to the theatre, where, surrounded by his countrymen, he would endeavour to speak the language of his soul."
"Mr. Nicholas was up several times upon this subject, and had been the first mover of it; but at last relinquished it as not tenable."
Every patriotic man must pour out incessant execrations on the devoted heads of those who machinate, advise, aid, abet, or assist in laying sacrilegious hands upon that most invaluable blessing, the freedom of the press, that palladium of all the rights, privileges, and immunities, dear or sacred to any body of men worthy to rank above the brute creation!—That dispenser of the till then impenetrable clouds, which overspread the world for ages anterior to the auspicious era of its discovery!—That scourge of tyrants, whether monarchs, aristocrats, or demagogues!—Should any wretch pollute the air with a proposal to restrict the liberty of the press, may the plagues of Pharaoh await him—may he wander a vagabond about the earth like the murderous Cain! and may he be accursed, sitting, standing, lying, and in every action of his detested life!

THE progress of the HESSIAN FLY has become a very alarming matter to the middle states. It appears highly probable, that the eggs of this destroying insect are laid in the grains of ripe wheat, and sowed with them. The following method of avoiding them is therefore earnestly recommended to all who are concerned.
1st. Let every farmer carefully avoid sowing any grain raised on farms, or in neighbourhoods where the Hessian Fly has appeared.
2dly. Let every farmer in and near such places be careful to sell his whole crop to millers or others, who will promise not to sell any of it for seed, that the fly may not be propagated.
3dly. Let the farmers procure their seed from places that are certainly not infested with the Hessian Fly.
4thly. When the millers get parcels of good grain from distant places, which they believe are quite free from the fly, let them take great pains to inform the farmers, that they may be easily supplied with seed, which does not contain any eggs of these insects. The millers will do well to be particularly attentive to this easy matter, as all their business depends on a plentiful supply of good grain for their mills. A LANDHOLDER. Philadelphia, June 13.

At a court of Probates of the State of New-York held at the Probate office in the City of New-York, on the seventeenth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight.
P R E S E N T, The Honourable PETER OGILVIE, Esquire, Judge of the said Court:
WHEREAS Isaac Tuttle Reeve, administrator of Ebenezer Sopher, late of Southold, in the county of Suffolk, fadler, deceased, hath by his petition, presented to the said judge, set forth, that the said Ebenezer Sopher was at the time of his death, seized of a real estate within this state, that the petitioner had made a just and true account of the personal estate and debts of the said Ebenezer Sopher, as far as he had been able to discover the same; and that thereby it appeared, that the personal estate of the said Ebenezer Sopher, was insufficient to pay his debts; and therefore requested the aid of the said judge in the premises, according to the directions of the act, entitled, "An act for the relief of creditors against heirs, devisees, executors, and administrators, and for proving wills respecting real estates;" and the said petitioner hath delivered to the said judge the account in the said petition mentioned; thereupon it is ordered by the said judge, that all persons interested in the estate of the said Ebenezer Sopher, do appear before the judge of the said court of Probates, at the Probate-Office, in the city of New-York, on the ninth day of August next, to shew cause, if any they have, why so much of the real estate whereof the said Ebenezer Sopher, died seized, should not be sold, as will be sufficient to pay his debts: PETER OGILVIE. 25th 4thw.

American Printed Books.
This Day is published, and to be Sold, By ROBERT HODGE, No. 237, the Corner of King & Queen-Street, The Miscellaneous Works
OF PHILIP FRENEAU.
Containing his Essays and additional Poems.
THIS second volume of our American Author, is replete with the highest sentimental entertainment. Humour, wit, and satire, flow in copious streams.—It requires only to be read to be admired.
Such gentlemen, in this city and state, as honored this vol. with their subscriptions, will be pleased to send for it as soon as convenient.
THE MESSIAH,
Attempted from the GERMAN of MR. KLOPSTOCK.
To those who are acquainted with
the merits of this work, little need be said to recommend it.—It is calculated to inspire every pious, every virtuous sentiment:—to fill the mind with an awful reverence and love of the Great and incomprehensible GOD and FATHER of all;
with the sublimest and most fervent gratitude to our gracious REDEEMER, and a perfect detestation and abhorrence of all vice. In a word, it claims the patronage of ALL who do not blush at owning themselves Christians, and at paying a humble obedience to the King of Kings.
This piece of religious and moral painting has obtained Mr. Klopstock the honor of being esteemed the Milton of Germany, and is considered as having completed what that favorite son of the British muse had left unfinished.—The beauties of the Messiah equal Paradise Lost:—Paradise Regained, though far from being destitute of merit, is universally allowed to fall much below this work, and is acknowledged to be deficient in that unbounded invention, that beautiful machinery, and variety of characters, which distinguish the rigorous efforts of Mr. Klopstock's genius.
The Messiah is formed upon an extensive and important plan, and includes the sufferings, death, and resurrection of Christ.
