LONDON, March 24.
Newspapers are fully acquainted with the views of the Russians and France, in the present contest with the Turks, and still less of the immense importance it is to this country. It must be remembered, that from that country, which borders on the Black Sea, Russia draws almost the whole of those naval stores with which she supplies all Europe; but not having a free navigation down the Archipelago, a circuitous trade is obliged to be taken up the large rivers to the height of the land; hence down to Petersburg, exclusive of a long sea voyage by the Baltic and the English Channel. That the Empress should have a free passage to the Mediterranean, is of more importance to Russia than to France. Hemp and naval stores for Toulon and Brest, exclusive of their coming two-thirds cheaper, could at any time be procured, and on the shortest notice, without being exposed to the double risk of a long sea voyage, and our armed cruisers. This being literally the fact, they know much of the matter, who assert, that the present Turkish war is of no consequence to this country. But there is another, to which it is of full more, Spain!—In the event of the Empress gaining her point, what shall prevent her having transatlantic possessions, and what security will Spain and Portugal have against such towering ambition, at present animates all the Russian politics? The truth is, we are determined to support the Turks; first by mediation, and if that won't do, our Ministers are likely men to try other means. In the mean time, Spain is arming in all her ports; for notwithstanding the reports to the contrary, she is determined to oppose the entrance of a Russian Squadron into the Mediterranean.
From a combination of circumstances the public tranquillity seems by no means so permanent as every good citizen wishes it. Clouds are gathering; and it will require more than ordinary temperance and prudence to prevent their bursting in storms.
We learn that the Dey of Algiers, has ordered all the coir airs of that Regency to keep in port, and to prepare themselves for joining in a fleet, if thought, to attack the Russians, whenever their fleet comes into the Mediterranean; the same preparations are making at Tunis and Tripoli.
It is pretty generally known, that the Cabinet of Madrid have resolved to assist the Porte with no inconsiderable naval force, and that they have declared their intention to our Court, and so accounted for their present armament.
The intention of the Spaniards, and the account of their armament, are so far from being unsatisfactory, that it has been noticed to the Court of Madrid, that no obstacle would be thrown in the way of such intention being carried into execution by the British nation.
All the advantages that can be justly expected by the Empress of Russia from Great-Britain, on the present occasion, must be confined to those which may result from the Neutrality of Great-Britain, which from many circumstances promises to be an Armed Neutrality. But should the din of war spread wide, that Armed Neutrality must cease, and England, in justice to herself, take that part which policy, expedience, and an attention to her interests may require.
PHILADELPHIA, May 19.
From a CORRESPONDENT.
On Friday last, came to this city, with her retinue, the famous, or rather infamous, Jemimah Wilkinson, a person who professes that she is our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ come again into the world a second time. Any event happening which is expected to be told in sacred writ, distinguishing the age in which such event does happen, and it ought to be noted. So singular an event, as a fulfilling a prophecy of our Lord, in a person appearing prophetess to be him himself, distinguishes the present day in a remarkable manner, as it is one of the signs which shall precede the real coming of the Son of Man in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And Jemimah Wilkinson made her appearance a century or two ago, she would then have been especially punished, probably with death; but, to the honor of the present age, though the blasphemy of this person and her disciples has been long known, the mildness of our law; and the good sense of the people are such, that no injury or even insult has been offered to any of them; but, consistent with the spirit of christianity, they leave the Deity himself to punish all fins which are committed against himself alone.

TRIAL OF MR. HASTINGS.
Perhaps a scene of greater enormities never was exhibited to mankind, than is unfolded in the charges against Mr. Hastings, whom Mr. Burke styles, "the Head, Chief, and Soul; the Commander and Captain General of the enormities in India." To give some idea of his cruelties—for his peculiarities are without number, and description would lack in the recital—we shall lay before our readers some extracts from the speeches of Mr. Burke, made on the three first days of the trial. After describing the villainies of the infamous Congo Burwant Sing, a Secretary employed by Mr. Hastings to assist him in his wicked works—a person whom the friends as well as the enemies of Mr. H. agreed was the most atrocious villain India ever produced—Mr. Burke proceeds:
"NEXT in infamy to Congo Burwant Sing, and second only to him in villainy, was Devi Sing; one of the most shocking monsters that ever stained the page of history. This villain, driven on account of his infamous administration from one important station which he held, was able to obtain, through his partner in iniquity, Congo Burwant Sing, a most lucrative situation under the company; he was admitted at a time when he was a bankrupt, and owed 210,000. to farm the revenue of a very large district. One part of his instructions was, that he should not raise the rents or impose new taxes upon the inhabitants; but such instructions did not weigh much with a man, who knew that if he broke through them, he was sure of impunity, through the powerful influence of Congo Burwant Sing."
"He therefore resolved by plunder and rapine of every sort, to make the most of his bargain. He immediately raised the rents, contrary to his instructions—he threw the people of quality as well as others into prison, and there made them give bonds to what amount he pleased, as the purchase of their liberty. These bonds he afterwards put in force—first, he put their demesne lands up to auction, and they were knocked down at one year's purchase, though the usual price of land in that country was ten. The real purchaser was himself. Next he sold the lands they held by lease; next the lands given by the then owners or their ancestors, for the pious and humane purposes of providing for the sick and infirm—lastly, he sold even the very ground destined for the burial of the owners; and this was to them, from the nature of their education and religion, the most heart-rending of all their losses. This, however, was not all—he made use of a species of pillory, which in India, is more dreadful than death, because it drives people from their cast; those who have been disgraced by this pillory, no matter whether with or without a just cause, are as it were excommunicated; they are disowned by their own tribe, nay, by their own nearest relations, and are driven out into the society of the outcasts of society. This pillory is a bullock with a drum on each side, and the person who is once fastened on it, is ever after disgraced and degraded, and his posterity. Devi Sing had this tremendous bullock walking through the villages—at his approach the inhabitants fled—and so general was their detestation of their habitations, that an Englishman travelled 15 miles without seeing a fire or a light in any house."
"The poor myots, or husbandmen, were treated in a manner that would never gain belief if it was not attested by the records of the company; and Mr. Burke thought it necessary to apologize to their Lordships for the horrid relation, with which he would be obliged to harrow up their feelings. The worthy Commissioner Patterson, who had authenticated the particulars of this relation, had wished that, for the credit of human nature, he might have drawn a veil over them; but as he had been sent to enquire into them, he must in discharge of his duty, state those particulars, however shocking they were to his feelings. The cattle and corn of the husbandmen were sold for less than a quarter of their value, and their huts reduced to ashes!—The unfortunate owners were obliged to borrow money from usurers, that they might discharge their bonds, which had unjustly and illegally been exacted from them while they were in confinement; and such was the determination of the infernal fiend, Devi Sing, to have these bonds discharged, that the wretched husbandmen were obliged to borrow money, not at 20, or 30, or 40, or 50, but at six hundred per cent. to satisfy him! Those who could not raise the money, were most cruelly tortured; cords were drawn tight round the fingers, until the flesh of the four on each hand was actually incorporated and become one solid mass; the fingers were then separated by wedges of iron and wood driven in between them. Others were tied two and two by the feet and thrown across a wooden bar, upon which they hung with their feet uppermost; they were then beat on the soles of their feet, until their toe nails dropped off."
"They were afterwards beat about the head until the blood gushed out at the mouth, nose, and ears; were also flogged upon the naked body with bamboo canes, and prickly bushes; and above all, with some poisonous weeds, which were of a most caustic nature, and burnt at every touch. The cruelty of the monster who had ordered all this, had contrived how to tear the mind as well as body; he frequently had a father and a son tied naked to one another by the feet and arms, and then flogged until the skin was torn from the flesh; and he had the devilish satisfaction to know that every blow that missed him, had fallen upon his son; his sensibility was wounded by the knowledge he had, that the blow had fallen upon his father; when the same torture was felt by the father, when he knew that every blow that missed him, had fallen upon his son."
"The treatment of the females could not be described; dragged forth from the inmost recesses of their houses, which the religion of the country had made so many sanctuaries, they were exposed naked to the public view: The virgins were carried to the court of justice, where they might naturally have looked for protection; but now they looked for it in vain, for in the face of the ministers of justice, in the face of the spectators, in the face of the sun, those tender and modest virgins were brutally violated. The only difference between their treatment and that of the mothers, was, that the former were dishonoured in the face of day, the latter, in the gloomy recesses of their dungeons. Other females had the nipples of their breasts put in a cleft of bamboo and torn off: What modesty in all nations most carefully conceals, this monster revealed to view, and consumed by fire flows; nay some of the monstrous tools of this monster Devi Sing had, horrid to tell! carried their unnatural brutality so far as to drink in the source of generation and life."
"Here Mr. Burke dropt his head upon his hands, unable to proceed, so greatly was he oppressed by the horror which he felt at this relation. The effect of it was visible through the whole auditory; a lady who was in Great Chamberlain's box fainted away. Several other ladies sunk under the agitation of their feelings; among others Mrs. Siddons—albeit she is used to scenes of sorrow—fainted away. Certainly such a tragedy was never exhibited on any stage."
"Mr. Burke having recovered himself, said, that the fathers and the husbands of the hapless females were the most harmless and industrious set of men; content with scarcely sufficient for the support of nature, they gave almost the whole produce of their labour to the East-India company; those hands which had been broken by persons under the company's authority, produced to all England the comforts of their morning and evening tea; for it was with the rent produced by their industry, the investments were made for the trade to China, where the tea which we use was brought."
"He then called upon their lordships to prevent the effects of the divine indignation upon the British Empire, by bringing to justice the man who could employ so infernal an agent. Those wretched husbandmen would with those scattered hands lifted up to Heaven, call down its vengeance upon their undoers: He conjured their lordships to avert that vengeance by punishing them who had so grossly abused the power given them by this country."
"Mr. Burke was here taken ill; but he soon recovered, and was proceeding, when he was seized with a cramp in his stomach, and disabled from proceeding; he was soon relieved from his pain, but was too exhausted to be able to proceed. The Court immediately adjourned."
Our paper of the 9th inst. having furnished our readers with a description of and directions for the using the different kinds of COAL TAR and VARNISH, prepared by the British Tar Company, at their works in Shropshire, Staffordshire, and in Scotland; we are now requested to insert the following extract of a letter relative to the trial of the said tar.
Extract of a Letter from William May, junior, Esq. to the Agent for the British Tar Company at Gullers, dated Amsterdam, Oct. 22. 1786.
"IT is with much satisfaction I inform you of the result of the several trials made in this country, at different places, with Lord DUNDONALD's Coal Tar, in order to determine it's efficacy against the ravages of the sea worm, with which our seas are greatly infested, particularly in the hot summer months."
"The first trial was made by Mr. G. F. Fuiger, Surveyor of the sea dikes at Henlopen and the adjacent country, who caused several piles of wood, coated with Coal Tar, to be driven into the Zuyder sea early last spring, where the worm is found in great numbers. These piles were taken up and examined on the 4th current, and were found to have very little sea-weeds, the Tar every where where the same in appearance as when first put on, and not the least sign of the worm on any one of them."
"The next trial was made by Mr. den Berger, Director and Surveyor of the sea works on the island of Texel, and Mr. J. Swaen, master of the new harbour near the Helder, in the province of Holland, at the desire of William May, senior, Esq. Captain in the Dutch navy, and First Commissioner of the Admiralty of Amsterdam. These two gentlemen, in the months of July and August, 1785, cauled four large piles of wood, two of them of oak, and the other two of fir, to be well dried by a fire, and then covered with Coal Tar made hot, with which they were twice payed over. Each of them being twelve feet long, was driven into the new pier of 16 roeden, and in a depth of 8 to 12 feet water, where they were exposed to a strong current of the sea, which is remarkable for abounding with very large worms, as has been often experienced, to the great loss and even danger of the country, particularly in 1783, when the wood of the dikes was greatly damaged, and piles made of oak, 36 feet long, and 9 inches thick, were in less than a year's time entirely destroyed. On the 25th September 1786, the four piles that had been covered with Coal Tar were taken up, and carefully examined, when it was found, after taking off the weeds, that the Tar remained upon every one of them still undissolved by the water, and emitted a strong smell as soon as they were laid in pieces, which was done very minutely, in order to discover if the worm had attacked them in any place, but without finding the least appearance of that insect."
"Another trial was made by John Spaander, Esq. a worthy magistrate of the town of Medemblick, who caused four piles to be driven into the sea at that place, early last summer, very near to each other, where the worm bites a great deal, and suffered them to remain there until the 21st September last, and then caused them to be taken up, in presence of a great number of gentlemen, among whom were the superintendents of the four Northern Loggen and the sea dikes in West Friesland, the Burgo master of Aarlswood, and the advertising member in the states of North Holland, who, on a very accurate examination of the above four piles, found as follows."
"The first pile, which had been put into the sea in it's natural state, was very foul with weeds and barnacles, and, on being cut in pieces, was found to be full of worms, of a larger and stronger kind than have been observed since the summer of 1783; another pile, painted with white lead and oil, was next examined, and was found very foul with weeds and barnacles, and much affected by the worm, particularly at the corners."
"Afterwards, on inspecting the other two piles that had been prepared with Coal Tar, not the least appearance of the worm could be traced, the Tar still remaining black and smooth upon the wood, which, on being cut, emitted a strong smell of Tar, and the oil of it appearing to have penetrated very deep, particularly in the fir pile, and that every person present with astonishment, who all declared that, until this time, there had never been such an important discovery made, or such an effectual remedy against the bite of the sea worm."
"Another trial similar to this was made, at the same time, by piles of oak and fir, driven into the harbor of Medemblick, and with the same success, the Tar remaining wholly undissolved in the water, and neither the oak nor fir that was covered with it being in the least affected by the sea worm."
"Mr. Spaander likewise informs me of a singular effect produced by this mineral preparation, at a place where he was frequently obliged to be present, in repairing some sluices, the ground about which abounds with sulphurous exhalations that are exceedingly noxious and oppressive to the lungs. Having covered the outer sluice with Coal Tar, himself and his men were much surprised to find that the smell of brimstone was no longer perceptible in that place, while the ground about the inner sluice, and every where within a certain distance, retained it as formerly, and were in the same degree offensive."
"The proofs of the above facts, and the memorials transmitted to the several colleges in consequence, shall be forwarded to you immediately."
(Signed) WM. MAY, Jun."
MR. CHILD'S.
THE design of these few lines is not to offer any new arguments in favor of the Greek language, which has been long out of the question; nor to oppose the awful thunder of its mighty assailant; but principally to inform Piletus of some very erroneous conjectures he has made, concerning the audacious wretch who has presumed to cope with him.
Many of his surmises are so obscure and vague, that they may be applied to almost any person; and some are so discordant with each other, that no two of them can possibly belong to the same character. With respect to those, of which he seems to be most certain, he may rest assured that his opponent is no lad, whose spirits are uncommonly elevated at having escaped correction in repeating his Greek-grammar lesson; that he is neither a tyrannizing pedagogue, an insignificant school-boy, nor one who has been disappointed in his expectations of a premium—that he is, not influenced either by a master or fierce parent, but acts independently and of himself; and that he does not look for any subsistence, partial gain, or emoluments whatever, from his skill in the Greek tongue.
Relying on his infallibility, Piletus has spent his time, wasted his pen, ink, and paper, and strained his abilities to their no plus ultra of extension, in discharging volleys of unmeaning opprobrious epithets, upon some character which he fancied would correspond to the above marks, and which never had an existence but in his disordered imagination. Yet left he might be mistaken, he seems to intimate near the end of his last publication, that the author who has been so unfortunate as to fall under the lash of his dire displeasure, wears a short coat; a very distinguishing characteristic indeed, and is almost as conclusive, as though I were to suspect that Piletus some time ago had a black patch upon his forehead, or that he wears a blue coat with an odd button upon it, &c.
In several parts of his piece, he mentions the supposed youth of his antagonist by way of derision. I never knew that youth was just cause of derision; but the more advanced blockhead, who has spent his whole life in an uninterrupted series of blunder, is deservedly an object of contempt. It is a leading trait in the character of Piletus to be inconsistent in every thing but absurdity. Happy would it be for himself were he only absurd; but he rests not here—like a raging bull, not content with foaming, he scatters mud and mire all around him. Deficient of solid argument, he can support the side he has espoused with nothing but ribaldry. When such paltry means are used in the defence of any cause, we naturally conclude, that either the cause is indifferent in itself, or is wretchedly supported. Which of these is the case, in the instance under consideration, or whether they do not unite in it, may be determined without the gift of divination.
No doubt Piletus thought, that, whilst he was thus liberally dealing out his venom, he carried conviction in every word. With portions of his own stamp, he probably has had some influence; but scurrility and abuse, when applied to men of "genuine sense," fall like pointless arrows upon a wall of brass; nay, they turn with tenfold vigor upon the head of him who used them. —It is to me a matter of regret that ever I engaged in this cause; not that I am ashamed of it—not that I find myself non-plussed and baffled; but because I have been obliged to enter the lists with Piletus. To be foiled by a noble adversary is some consolation; whereas to obtain even a victory over so despicable a foe, is almost too mortifying for an ingenious mind to bear.
Not a little comfort may, however, be drawn from the consideration, that there is no probability of being again placed in so disagreeable circumstances. Piletus (for reasons above-mentioned) has as effectually frustrated his own designs, as the most able opponents possibly could do; and they who are friendly to his cause, have reason to curse the day that he became their champion. If his production may be termed reasoning, I should recommend Billingsgate as the best logical school in the universe.—But let us not pursue the subject any further;—Piletus, poor man! has been for some time laboriously employed in digging a grave for himself. Let us therefore, in pity, permit his manes to rest in peace. Should he revive and rise again, 'twill be only to fall under an accumulated load of infamy. But before we take our leave of him, let us record one praiseworthy action of the deceased:—He seemed sensible of his approaching end; and, not at all intimidated by the horrors of death, calmly sung his own dirge, which you may find in the four concluding lines of his edifying performance.
April 29th. PHILALTHEUS.
N. B. The public have been too long troubled with this dispute; it is therefore my fixed resolution, that tho' Piletus exhaust his whole magazine of detraction, he shall never provoke another reply.

To the honorable the Legislature of the State of New-York.
The Petition of the subscribers, Freeholders and Inhabitants of the Town of Lansingburgh, in the Patent of Storerburgh, in the county of Albany.
Most humbly sheweth, THAT the freeholders and inhabitants of the said town, or the major part of them, have, at great expense, purchased lots of ground in the said town, and made settlements and improvements thereon, for the purpose of carrying on an extensive trade and commerce, and promoting the population of that part of the country.
That experience has taught your petitioners, that the regulation of the internal police of the said town, by the votes of the freeholders and inhabitants, or by a committee by them annually chosen for the purpose, is attended with great difficulties and embarrassment, which daily increase and multiply.
That the said freeholders and inhabitants, for want of being incorporated, cannot obtain a grant of a considerable tract of land, which has been generously promised to them, as commons for fuel and pasture, for the use and benefit of the said freeholders and inhabitants, by means whereof their prosperity and mercantile prospects may be greatly diminished.
For remedy whereof, and in order to answer the beneficial purposes intended by your petitioners, they are desirous that the freeholders and inhabitants, residing within the following boundaries and limits, may be incorporated, viz. Beginning at a certain pitch-pine stump, standing on the east bank of Hudson's river, opposite the south end of Whale Island, and running thence S. 69. E. 178 chains, agreeable as the same was run and settled between Stephen Van Ranselaer, Esq. and Abraham Jacob Lansing. Thence N. 19. 45. E. 286 chains and 50 links, as the same was also run and settled between Stephen Van Ranselaer, Esq. and Abraham Jacob Lansing. Thence W. to the mouth of the Terberg Kill, at Hudson's river, to low water mark, as the magneto needle pointed in the year 1763 and from thence down along the river, until opposite the said stump, and from thence to the said stump.
Your petitioners thereon pray, that an act may be passed, to incorporate the freeholders and inhabitants residing within the limits aforesaid, by the name of the Trustees of the Freeholders and Inhabitants of the Town of Lansingburgh.
That the officers to be named in the said act may be as follows, to wit: Abraham Jacob Lansing, John Van Ranselaer, Jeremiah Hoagland, Flores Banker, Elijah James, Aaron Ward, and John G. Yates.
That the freeholders and inhabitants aforesaid may be enabled annually to choose seven trustees, to keep up a regular succession: That the name of Aaron Lane may be inserted in the said act, as clerk of the said town; Christopher Tillman, Esq. as treasurer; and David Henry, as marshal; and that their successors in office may likewise be annually chosen as aforesaid: And that the Legislature will be pleased to grant such powers, jurisdictions, and privileges to the trustees of the said town, and for the regulation of its internal police, as the Legislature in their wisdom shall deem meet and expedient.
And your petitioners will ever pray. Signed by AB. JACOB LANSING, And above two others, Freeholders and inhabitants residing within the limits aforesaid described. Lansingburgh, March 8, 1788.
In ASSEMBLY, March 11th, 1788. Resolved, if the Honorable the Senate concur herein, that Abraham Jacob Lansing and other Freeholders and Inhabitants of Lansingburgh, in the town of Rensselaerwyck in the County of Albany, have leave to present to either House of the Legislature on the second Monday after a quorum of both houses shall be convened at their next meeting, after the first Monday in July next, a Bill to incorporate the Freeholders and Inhabitants of Lansingburgh, provided, that the petitioners do cause a copy of their said petition, and a copy of this resolution, to be published six weeks successively in one of the public newspapers printed in the city of New-York, and in one of the public newspapers printed in the city of Albany, to the end, that any person who may conceive his interest affected thereby, may appear at the Bar of either house, and show cause against the passing such bill. A Copy. (Signed) MESSON, Clerk. In SENATE, March 12th, 1788.
Resolved, That the Senate do concur with the Honorable the Assembly in their preceding Resolution. By Order, (Signed by) ABRAHAM BANC.
