PARIS, Dec. 13.
A collection of the most interesting articles in all the news-papers will be published here in the English language, under the title of "General Advertiser for Great-Britain, Ireland, and the United States of America," the beginning of next January. This paper will appear every week on a Monday, and the subscribers are to pay two Louis d'or for the 52 numbers. Such is the reigning passion for the English language that the Editors are almost sure of success. Besides, those who indulge their fancy, for only one English news-paper, are obliged (now that the franking exists no more) to pay, postage included, about 10l. sterling per annum. "In the affairs of the United States," say the publishers of the proposals, "genuine American papers will be consulted, and not the English daily publications concerning those rising republics, which seem by no means to be written by impartial hands."
LONDON, Dec. 14.
According to letters from New-York, the Congress are engaged in making a treaty on a very broad basis with the Court of Madrid; it being not only of a commercial kind, but of the same kind as that with France, offensive and defensive; and it was expected that it would be signed in less than six months. They are also negotiating treaties with England, Portugal, Naples and Venice.
Friday evening Lord George Gordon was apprehended at Birmingham, and on Saturday evening was brought to town and taken before Mr. Justice Buller, who committed him to the custody of the Marshal of the King's Bench Prison; but it being too late to be admitted that night, he was taken to the Grand Hotel, Covent-Garden: and on Sunday morning, at 10 o'clock, was delivered into the custody of the Marshal of the King's Bench. His Lordship is at present lodged over the lobby of that prison.
PHILADELPHIA, March 10. The following is a copy of a letter from the Chevalier de la Luzerne, read in the General Assembly of this State.
Paris,
SIR,
I HAVE received the act of the Assembly of Pennsylvania, and the letter you have honored me with, from which I learn that that State has condescended to give my name to one of its newly erected counties. It is impossible for me to explain the grateful sense I have of this distinguished favor. Having the advantage of a long residence in Pennsylvania, I have been witness to all the acts of patriotism and valor performed in that State, and which have so much contributed to the American Independence.
I have had the further advantage of a personal knowledge of the different Members of your Government, and the opportunity of judging with what wisdom, prudence and firmness they have succeeded in establishing one of the best Governments in the world.
Lately, Sir, my long residence, my inclination, and the honor just conferred on me, are the ties which bind me inviolably to the State of Pennsylvania.
Be pleased, Sir, to assure the illustrious Body you preside over, of my veneration and respect; and permit me to renew the assurances of the attachment with which I have the honor to be, SIR,
Your most humble and obedient servant. The Hon. the Speaker of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania.
On Monday last pursuant to his sentence for piracy and murder, John White, alias John Tracey, was executed on the Commons. James Thomson, alias James M'Alpine, is respited for 21 days.
NEW-YORK, March 13.
The Triumph, Capt. Stout, was well at St. Jago, Cape de Verd, on the 7th of January, on her way from Ostend to Bengal. The ship Columbia, from Bolton, with a consort, had been there some time before, bound on a voyage round the world.
It is the policy of the King of Prussia, (says an Irish paper) to promote and encourage every infant attempt for establishing the useful arts and manufactures in his dominions, and even to advance large sums of money, in order to give vigor and energy to such undertakings; and as soon as they are brought to a proper degree of perfection, and have become extensive, this wise Monarch immediately prohibits his subjects from any importations of such articles or fabrics from other countries. In these very important regulations, he has been uniform, since the commencement of his reign; and his people have, in consequence, been rendered thereby much more flourishing and happy, than at any former period. It seems, indeed, to be the general mode of all the States and Govern-
ments of Europe at present, (his Kingdom only excepted) to render their subjects as prosperous as possible, by adopting every plan of commercial arrangement and encouragement, to their internal fabrics, that may best conduce to that very important purpose. They make use of no temporizing expedients, but speak out boldly such plans, as will best and most decidedly conduce to give them proper efficacy, and ensure them success. Here, nothing will be entered into whatever, without previously considering, whether it might in the remotest degree, clash with the trading interest of those at the other side. Should it have the most collateral or distant tendency to such a matter, the proposition is either entirely set aside, or mutilated in such a manner, as totally to destroy the salutary effects, which might originally have been expected from it.
The following LAW lately passed the Hon. Legislature, which we thus early publish for the information of our readers.
An Act, Supplementary to the Act, entitled, An Act to prevent the Exportation of Unmerchantable Flour, and the false Taring of Bread and Flour Casks.
BE it enacted by the People of the State of New-York, represented in Senate and Assembly, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That the act, entitled, an act to prevent the exportation of unmerchantable flour, and the false taring of bread and flour casks, passed the sixteenth of March, 1785, and every section and article therein mentioned, except the fifteenth and twenty-first sections thereof, shall extend, and it is declared and enacted, to extend to rye and buck-wheat flour, in as full and ample a manner, as if the said several articles had been expressly named, or mentioned in the said act, any thing in the said act to the contrary notwithstanding.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That every cask, containing rye or buck-wheat flour, shall, (besides the marks and brands, directed by the said act, to be put by manufacturers, on casks, containing wheat flour) be branded on one of the heads, with the words, RYE-FLOUR, or, BUCK-WHEAT FLOUR, as the case may require.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That no meal made of Indian corn, shall be exported from this State, unless it be inspected by one of the Inspectors, appointed pursuant to the act, herein before mentioned, and unless it shall appear to the satisfaction of the said Inspectors, that the corn, of which the said meal was made, had been sufficiently dry, or had been kiln dried; and such as has been kiln dried, shall be branded on the casks with the letters KILN DRIED MEAL, or with the initial letter of the Miller or Owner's christian name, and his surname at full length. And the casks containing the same shall be of the following dimensions, to wit: twenty-seven inches in length, and the diameter of each head sixteen inches and one half, and the casks made nearly straight, for the convenience of stowing in vessels; and each of the said casks shall contain one hundred and sixty-eight pounds of meal, which weight shall be branded on each of the casks, and the tare marked thereon with a marking iron: provided nevertheless, that nothing in this act shall prevent the packing of Indian-meal for exportation, in hogheads; but all such meal shall be inspected and branded as if packed in barrels, and the Inspector shall be entitled to receive for inspecting each hoghead the sum of three-pence, and for each barrel the sum of one penny, halfpenny, and the weight of meal in each such hoghead shall be marked thereon.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That if any person or persons shall mix any un-inspected buck-wheat, flour, rye-flour, or meal made of Indian corn with such as has been inspected, and shall offer the same for sale as inspected flour, he, she or they so offending shall forfeit for each barrel so mixed and offered for sale, the sum of twenty shillings, and for each hoghead so mixed and offered for sale, the sum of three pounds. And if any person or persons shall export any Indian meal, that has not been inspected, and branded, as herein before directed, he, she or they shall forfeit for every barrel, so exported, the sum of ten shillings, and for every hoghead so exported, the sum of thirty shillings; and the said Inspectors appointed, or to be appointed, pursuant to the said herein before mentioned act, are hereby directed, not to inspect any wheat flour, but what shall be packed in new casks, not before used for any purpose.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That it shall and may be lawful for the inspector or inspectors of flour and meal in this State, and they are hereby directed to brand or mark the word bad, on the head of each cask of condemned flour or meal.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That on the head of each
cask or barrel, in which flour commonly called midlings or cornell, shall be packed for sale or exportation, the initial letter of the owner's or miller's christian name with his surname at full length, shall be branded, and also the word midlings or cornell as the case may be, and every person who shall sell or export any midlings or cornell in casks not branded, as herein before directed, shall forfeit for each cask so sold or exported, and not branded, the sum of ten shillings.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the standard weight of wheat, brought to the city of New-York, for sale, shall be sixty pounds nett to the bushel, and in all cases of sale of wheat in the said city by the bushel, if the same shall exceed the standard weight, the buyer shall pay a proportionably greater price, and if the same shall be less than the said standard, the buyer shall pay a proportionably less price, provided that this regulation shall not extend to any special contracts respecting the sales of wheat, whatever may be the weight thereof.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that every baker of any of the kinds of hard bread, commonly called ship-midling water, butter or milk biscuit intended for sale, shall cause the initial letter of his christian name, with his surname at full length, to be impressed on each biscuit so baked, and that upon the head of every cask or keg, in which any such biscuit are packed for exportation, shall be marked with a marking iron the tare of such cask or keg, and that the initial letter of the baker's christian name, with his surname at full length, shall be branded thereon with words, expressing the kind of bread or biscuit contained in the same, and the name of the city or county where such bread or biscuit was baked, and such biscuit as is commonly sold in small kegs, shall contain either seven or fourteen pounds of the said bread, and if any person or persons shall sell or ship for exportation any kind of hard bread not marked, and marked as herein before directed, he, she or they, shall forfeit for each hundred weight so shipped or sold, the sum of five shillings, and so in proportion for a greater or less quantity.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the several measurers, appointed or to be appointed within this State, shall be entitled to receive and take for measuring flaxseed, salt, wheat, rye, corn, buck-wheat or any other article commonly sold by the bushel, one halfpenny per bushel and no more; and for all coal measured, at and after the rate of two shillings for every chaldron and no more, the one half to be paid by the buyer, and the other half to be paid by the seller, unless a particular contract is made to the contrary.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That this act shall be in force from and after the first day of July next, and that all forfeitures mentioned in the same, shall and may be received in any Court, having cognizance thereof, with costs of suit by any person or persons who shall sue for them respectively by action or debt, bill, plaint or information, the one half thereof to be for his, her or their own use, and the other half for the use of the people of this State.
Prospects on the Rubicon:
OR, An Investigation into the Causes and Consequences of the Politics, to be agitated at the Meeting of Parliament.
LONDON: Printed for J. DEBRETT, Piccadilly, 1787. [Said to be written by the Author of Common Sense.]
[Continued from Monday's paper.]
BUT independent of all civil and moral considerations, there is no possible event, that a war could produce either to England or France, on the present occasion, that could in the most distant proportion recompence to either, the expence she must be at. War involves in its progress, such a train of unforeseen and un-supposed circumstances, such a combination of foreign matters, that no human wisdom can calculate the end. It has but one thing certain, and that is encrease of taxes. The policy of European Courts is now so cast, and their interest so interwoven with each other, that, however easy it may be to begin a war, the weight and influence of interfering nations compel even the conqueror, to unprofitable conditions of peace.
Commerce, and marine strength, are now becoming the fashion, or rather the rage of Europe, and this naturally excites in them a combined wish to prevent either England or France encreasing its comparative strength by destroying, or even relatively weakening the other, and therefore, whatever views each may have, at the commencement of a war, new enemies will arise as either gains the advantage, and continual obstacles ensue, to embarrass success.
The greatness of Lewis the fourteenth, made Europe his enemy, and the same cause will produce the same consequence to any other European power. That nation, therefore, is only truly wise, who, contenting
herself with the means of defence, creates to herself no unnecessary enemies, by seeking to be greater than the system of Europe admits. The Monarch or the Minister who exceeds this line, knows but little of his business. It is what the Poet, on another occasion calls—
"The point where sense and nonsense join."
Perhaps there is not a greater instance of the folly of calculating upon events, than are to be found in treaties of alliance. As soon as they have answered the immediate purpose of either of the parties, they are but little regarded. Pretences, afterwards, are never wanting, to explain them away, nor reasons to render them abortive. And if half the money which nations lavish on speculative alliances, were reserved for their own immediate purpose, whenever the occasion shall arrive, it would be more productively and advantageously employed.
Monarchs and Ministers, from ambition, or resentment, often contemplate to themselves, schemes of future greatness, and set out, with what appears to them the fairest prospect. In the mean while, the great wheel of time and fate revolves unobserved, and something never dreamed of, turns up and blasts the whole. A few fancied or unprofitable laurels supply the absence of success, and the exhausted nation is huzza'd into new taxes.
The politics and interests of European courts are so frequently varying with regard to each other, that there is no fixing even the probability of their future conduct. But the great principle of alliancing seems to be but little understood or little cultivated in courts, perhaps the least of all in that of England. No alliance can be operative, that does not embrace within itself, not only the attachment of the sovereigns, but the real interest of the nations.
The alliance between France and Spain, however it may be spoken of as a mere family compact, derives its greatest strength from national interest. The mines of Peru and Mexico are the soul of this alliance. Were those mines extinct, the family compact would most probably dissolve.
There exists not a doubt in the mind of Spain, what part England would act, respecting those mines, could she demolish the maritime power of France; and therefore the interest of Spain feels itself continually united with France. Spain has high ideas of honor, but they have not the same ideas of English honor. They consider England as wholly governed by principles of interest, and that whatever she thinks it her interest to do, and supposes she has the power of doing, she makes very little ceremony of attempting. But this is not all—There is not a nation in Europe but what is more satisfied that those mines should be in the possession of Spain, than in that of any other European nation, because the wealth of those mines, sufficient to ruin Europe in the hands of some of its powers, is innocently employed with respect to Europe, and better and more peaceably distributed among them all, through the medium of Spain, that it would be through that of any other nation. This is one of the secret causes that combine so large a part of Europe in the interest of France, because they cannot but consider her as standing as a barrier to secure to them the free and equal distribution of this wealth throughout all the dominions of Europe.
This alliance of interest is likewise one of the unseen cements that prevents Spain and Portugal, two nations not very friendly to each other, proceeding to hostilities. They are both in the same situation, and whatever their dislikes may be, they cannot fail to consider, that by giving way to resentment that would weaken and exhaust themselves, each would be exposed a prey to some stronger power.
In short, this alliance of national interest is the only one that can be trusted, and the only one that can be operative. All other alliances formed on the mere will and caprice of sovereigns, or family connections, uncombined with national interests, are but the quagmire of politics, and never fail to become a loss to that nation who wastes its present substance on the expectancy of distant returns.
With regard to Holland, a man must know very little of the matter, not to know, that there exists a stronger principle of rivalry between Holland and England, in point of commerce than prevails between England and France in point of power; and, therefore, whenever a Stadtholder of Holland shall see it his interest to unite with the principle of his country, and act in concert with the sentiments of the very people who pay him for his services, the means now taken by England to render him formidable, will operate contrary to the political expectations of the present day.
Circumstances will produce their own natural effects, and no other, let the hopes or expectations of man be what they may. It is not our doing a thing with the design that it shall answer such or such an end; the means taken must have a natural ability and tendency within themselves to produce no other, for it is this, and not our wishes or policy, that governs the event.

The English navigation act was levelled against the interest of the Dutch as a whole nation, and therefore it is not to be supposed that the catching at the accidental circumstances of one man, as in the case of the present Stadholder, can combine the interest of that country with this. A few years, perhaps a less time, may remove him to the place where all things are forgotten, and his successor, contemplating his father's troubles, will be naturally led to reprobate the means that produced them, and to re-propose himself on the interests of his country, in preference to the accidental and tumultuous assistance of exterior power.
England herself exhibits, at this day, a species of this kind of policy. The present reign, by embracing the Scotch, has tranquilized and conciliated the spirit that disturbed the two former reigns. Accusations were not wanting at that time to reprobate the policy as tinctured with ingratitude towards those who were the immediate means of the Hanover succession. The brilliant pen of Junius was drawn forth, but in vain. It enraptured without convincing; and tho' in the plenitude of its rage it might be said to give elegance to bitterness, yet the policy survived the blast.
What then will be the natural consequence of this expence, on account of the Stadholder, or of a war entered into from that cause? Search the various windings and caverns of the human heart, and draw from thence the most probable conclusion, for this is more to be depended upon than the projects or declarations of ministers.
It may do very well for a paragraph in a newspaper, or the wild effusions of romantic politicians, or the mercenary views of those who wish for war on any occasion, or on no occasion at all, but for the sake of jobs and contracts, to talk of French finesse or French intrigue; but the Dutch are not a people to be impressed by the finesse or intrigue of France or England, or any other nation. If there has been any finesse in the case, it has been between the Electorate of Hanover, the King of Prussia, and the Stadholder, in which it is most probable the people of England will be finessed out of a sum of money.
The Dutch, as is already observed, are not a people open to the impression of finesse. It is lost upon them. They are impressed by their commercial interest. It is the political foul of their country, the spring of their actions and when this principle coincides with their ideas of freedom, it has all the impulse a Dutchman is capable of feeling.
The opposition in Holland were the enemies of the Stadholder, upon a conviction that he was not a friend to their national interests. They wanted no impulse but this. Whether this defect in him proceeded from foreign attachment, from bribery or corruption, or from the well-known defect of his understanding, is not the point of enquiry. It was the effect, rather than the cause, that irritated the Hollanders.
