SUPPLEMENT to the Jugufta Chronicle, No. 155.
A Letter from the Dead to the
Living .
WHEREAS it is a dispute whether the
Ctlejlial world - is -interested in the
welfare of the terrcftriaf: -Xfiis if therefore to
inform them, that tfce arts so warmly attach
ed to their present and future 'felicity, that*,.-
as soon as the important intelligence of an
elertion of members to art under the two new
Confutations, reached . our '-realms, bf ans
etherial meffengey, I was inftantaneoully di
spatched with the following hints :
Patriots and Citizens , ?•'
Your laudable precedent of civil and reh
gious liberty, on so broad a basis, has en.
groflied the attention of heaven and e'aitb ,
millions of eyes are gazing on your future
condurt. * „ •
> , • .■ t
If you regard liberty, property, or the
memory of thousands whose lives becu
facrificed in the late war, be seriously cautious
in your choice of delegates; do'tfot murder
ypur confidences, and fell your vote -for a
drink of grog, or the flattery of a fop. I
have frequently attended on your alTembltes,
and from obfervatiou lhall negative three
characters.
1 ft. The Drunkard —you want rational not
irrational beings to govern so large and glo- ’
iious a people—give me wisdom said a wife
Prince—Then surely he who murders his rea
son, and levels himfclf with the brute, ought
never to occupy that venerable post.
id. The Gambler —he who is for ever
sporting with property,, cannot be a suitable
perft.-j .10 secure it; like the thief, he only
shifts it from hand to hand, and must be con
sidered 04 a level with him, if not beneath,
as one may be apprehended by law, and the
other lhamefuUy creeps tiuderr coverty and is
far more mifehievous than his brother.
3d. The Speculator —who from principles
of avarice, has often made large on the’
property of his weaker brethren, would from
the fame principles, were it as lucrative , lpe
cnlate on their liberties ; neither would lives
be secure from his- avaricious disposition.
Matters of greater importance call my at
tention. lam
Gentlemen, ’ • y >i
The ghost of one who died in the defebce of
your liberties. ;

ling great part of his,.men. ..This virtory, it
is said, has cost us 2900 men.
Field Marshall Loudohn advises, under
date the 27th of May, that on che'22da body
of lixtecn or eighteen thousand Turks, in three
columns, appeared near Uuacz a«d Grahovo,
and entered Into the a column
of about 6000 of them, with two held pieces,
immediately attacked his advanced posts at
Upper Giahovo, Rainen, Neiika, and Gra
hovo with incredible fury, which obliged the
Austrians, after making a gallant defence*
to retreat, in doing which they burnt the
Turktfti village of Unacz, and" all the larms *
adjoing in the diftrirt, although the. Turki
kept up a heavy fire during ..the time. The
other two columns of Tut ks, in the interim
made an attack on our posts at Ochigrie and
Dabina Szitana, with such fury, that our
troops, fearing to be entirely cut off, retreat
ed to Dobrozello, where they took post in
such manner as to prevent the enemy advanc
ing farther.

A corps of about 1 ico Ruffians having af
ffinbled at a village called Rulkiala, 911 the
borders ot the province of Carelia, waiting
only for the arrival of a fufficient number of
pieces of ordnance to make an. irruption in'
that province, Major Gripen'bfcfg’, who was
posted in she neighbourhood, with a battalion
of the regiment of Tavafthcup and four can
non, resolved to attack'the eneiny on the 17th,
though his whole force consisted only of about
250 men. ’ On their approach the Swedes,
werefo fortunately as to difniount some field
pieces with which the Rufiians difpvted the
entrance of the village, and soon as er, the
powder magazine of the enemy blew up, by
which a great number of them perilhed. The
battle then commenced, and continued with
great obstinacy for upwards of three hours.'
Major Gripenberg computes the loss of the
enemy at 400 killed, and a considerable num
ber wounded. He quitted the field, how
ever, though he had only 17 killed and 30
*. wounded* The Ruffians also, after the ac
> lion, evacuated Rulkiala, and retreated' to
Sordawalla. The Swedes fired with red hot
"• ihot, being informed that the Ruffians had
depoflted -their powder in one oLthe adjoin
ing houfps/ Major Gripenberg lias been pro
, - nroted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, '
every officer under him has been
one degree, and a reward of a Swedish ducat
ordered to be given to each private fuldier. :

At the time the post was set ting out, we
re/eived news thaf the Ruffian men of war
which a ftibrt time fiuce failed from hencefor
the Cattegar, had given chafe to a Swedith
frigate of 44 guns, which, direrting her
course towards the ihores of Norwav, was
overtaken by a dead calm, when the Mercury
Iltiftiau brig seized her in fight of the Swednh
fleet, and conduded her to Laveculn. . -
We continue in 4he belief that our Court '
will remain neutral in the war betweeu the
Ruffians and the. Swedes, ahd tint otrr fleet
will proced into the North leas only for the
puPpole of performing some evolutions, and
that on its return to this port it will be dis
armed.

When Lee was manager at Ediburgh, he
was determined to improve upon thunder,
' and so having procured a parcel of nine pound
iliot, they were put into a wheel-oarrow, «o
> which he affixed an oftagon/’wheel. Thi3
; done, ridges werfc placed at the back of the
-stage, and one of the carpenters was ordered
to trundle this wheel-barrovV so filled, back
wardCand forwards over theffi ridges. The
play was Lear,'and really in the two firft es -
forts the thunder had a good effect. At length
as the King was fctaving the “ pelting of the 1
pitiless storm, tlie tluiulerer’s foot flipped,
and down he came “Wheel-barrow and all.
The stage being on a declivity, the balls made
their Way towards the orchestra, and ineetiug
with but a feeble refinance from the feene, ‘
laid it flit upon its face. 'This storm was
mord difficult for Lear to ffem than the one
he had before complained of. The balls tak
ing every direction, he was obliged to skip
about to avoid them like the man who dances
the egg hornpipe. ' The fiddlers in alarm for
their catgut, hurried out of the orchestra, and
to crown this! feene of glorious confufion, the r
sprawling thonderer lay prostrate in light of
the audience, like another Salmoneus.
