Vol. LONDON, May iS. Ycftcrday the Subscribers to the lliniiter's second Loan this year ot * ! 0 0,0001. made good their payments oJ’jol. per cent, at the Bank. The expences of government, for t.ie 1-106, will be found to amount to •u moderate sum of a million a week ! We may fay, with the man in the Play, -Y <u/eJurvlve tbit, we are immortal! J UN t 9. We are now enabled to state fome par molars refpeaing the late difagrceable news from India. We are not yet in pof feilion of the detail, although we have received the Madias Gazettes down to the qth of January last, which probably may be precluded from pubhthing any such news. . . , According to private letters received from a gentleman high in the company’s service in India, we learn, that the 25th battalion of Sepoys, commanded by capt. Grant, having been ordered to Batavia, the troops refufed to embark ; on which the governor general and coun cil ordered this corps to be disbanded. The troops refufed to deliver up their arms ; the 29th battalion of Sepoys was ordered againit them, and at length fired m them,~by which several men were killed. Some days after, four other battalions of native troops were ordered to Gan jam, on the coast, but refufed to pro ceed, until the 29th battalion was pun ished for having fired on their compan ions. The narive troops remained in this Hate of mutiny when the latest ac - counts left Bengal; and it is even re ported, that the governor had ordered all the artillery from Dumdum (not far distant from Calcutta, and where a great quantity of ordinance is usually kept) .into the fort of Calcutta, as a place of fafety. But we cannot vouch for the truth of this latter intelligence. Private advices from India also men tion, that several of the Britilh officers of the company's establishment were in a state of mutiny ; that an officer of high rank afts as their president, and that they have a regular chain of correspon dence throughout India. We (hall be very happy to be enabled to contradict these rumours,which are truly alarming, but there is fome consolation in knew ing, that the ship which carried out the * regulations of our government, for pla cing the company's officers on the fame footing as the king’s, wasfeen going up the Bengal river, as the Major Pinck ney American ship was coming away. PARIS, June 5. It appears that the directory is about to form several camps in the departments of the low countries. It is reported al so, that a canal is about to be made for the junction of the Scheldt and the- Meuse, which will facilitate the carri age of merchandize. Thecardinal Coftad’Arignano, arch bishop of Turin, is just: dead. We are allured that.his death was precipitated bv the dread which he entertained of feeing the French arrive as conquerors at Turin. The pope who is older than he, would do well to try the fame kind of fate. Our letters from Milan dated the 22d of May, announce that the caftlc isclofe ly invefled by the French army. A proclamation confuting of ten arti cles, publilhed at Milan by Buonaparte *nd Saiicetti, annihilating the Aultrian sdminiftration of Lombardy,has afforded also to the former place anew magistra cy entirely composed of plebiens, excr cifing all the functions of government in the name of the French republic, lin ger the vigilance and authority of the military agents, to whom the magiflra cy is accountable. BOSTON, July 14. Letters from Paris state, that it was 11 oped, through the intercession of Mr. Munroe, that the decree of the Conven tion, ordering foreigners to quit Paris, be ameliorated so as to allow A- to continue in that city. At present they are removed. July 19. By our last accounts from the Wcft- Indies, it appears, that 16,000 troops have lately arrived there from Europe. On Friday arrived here the French PNyateer Amour de la Patrie y from a ruifc. She has sent in a prize. SALE M, July 5. Mr. Carlton, by a recent letter from Jamaica, I learn, and with pain report, !,. at there are now on board the different JJ‘PS of war in that and the adjacent milh ports, upwards pf an hundred Jtamaiiy who are unlawfully - cl in bondage, and who are treated in , that mu ft be truly degrading tit fouls of freemen. Several of Columbian jEufeum, them have died in consequence of the floggings they received by command of the officers in order to compel them to enlist. Often times they are put in irons, and continued so for many days in order “ to cure them of their obfhnacy ,” to use the Britilh adopted pharfe.—l with not to accuse our government of negledllng this worthy class of citizens, but their Just rings have been almolt too long injufferable. Yours, &c. AN OLD MARINER. Salem, July 4th, 1796. SPRINGFIELD, (Mass.) July 5. Mr. Jabez Hendrick, of South Wil braham, (Mass.) has formed a model of a machine to calculate longitude with the greatest exaftnefs. Also a Dial to tell the time of night by Stars—wc think his dilcovery worthy the public patronage, and trull, therefore, that in this enlightened age, when fciencc is re ceiving its lalt polish, they will not be fuffered to expire in oblivion. NEW-LONDON, July 14. Capt. P. Benjamin, of the Brig Nan-’ cy of Norwich, had his velfel and cargo condemned at Grenada, on the 2d of June last, as American property ; cargo value at 50,000 dollars ; expences 350 dollars; but as capt. Benjamin was from De.nerara, they made him pay 700 dol lars. Captain Benjamin loft his mate and all his people with the putrid fever, while he lay at Grenada. PHILADELPHIA, July 22. The intelligence from Martinique an nounces that the fleet with which the Engliffi promised themselves the con quelt of the windward islands, is about to fail for St. Domingo, which island they entertain the expectation of reduc ing entirely under their dominion. They are momentarily expected at the Mole, where they are without doubt actually arrived ere this. They may poliibly possess themselves of the coasts, but the interior of the country will nev er be in their poffeiiion, and they will expole themselves by the meafuic they have taken to the mortifying case of ren dering useless all the forces sent to the Antilles. N E W-Y O R K, July 19. We are informed from good authori ty, that in the month of June part, 219 beats palled the canal and locks at the Little Falls, on the Mohawk river, from which toll was received to the a mount of 1751. os. 2d. RIOTS IN AMSTERDAM . By the arrival of the ftiip Three Friend?, yesterday afternoon, in 48 days from Amsterdam, We learn that tire in habitants of that city were placed in a disagreeable situation. There was a body of citizens to the number of about 8 or 900, called cannoniers, of the lowed class in the society, who were allowed to wear lide-arms. They had lately aflembled every night in gangs, and ranged about the city like mad-men, in several instances commit ting murder. The municipality, justly alarmed at these proceedings, gave or ders on the 11 th of May for them to assemble in front ot the Stadthoufe, and surrender their arms. The cannoniers aflembied on the day appointed ; and the light horse, and the rest of the militia, were ordered to surround them in order to disarm them. Thc cannoniers, how ever, remained firm, determined to sur render only with their lives. With this di(pofition they remained from 12 o’- clock at mid-day until 12 at night. At about half pad 12 at night, they entered the Stadthoufe, and forcibly lib erated 3 or 4 of their party, who had been confined for murder ; who were next day seem to parade the ftreet* of the city unmolested. A body of h rench troops had been sent for to keep the peace of the city. Letters by the Three Friends men tion a report having circulated in Am sterdam of an engagement on the Rhine, in which the Austrians were defeated with considerable loss. CHARLESTON, August 3. On Monday evening last, between the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock, a mod daring attempt was made by fome ill disposed person, to let fire to the house of Mr. Nathaniel Jones, in Tradcl street, by putting a handful of (havings in the fide of the house, and setting fire thereto ; bur by the timely assistance ol the citizens it was prevented from doing any material damage. August 6. A gentleman in this city received, by yetterday’s poll, a remittance af 4000 dollar*, from the Committee of thc Ci- tizens of Baltimore, who opened a fob feription in that city for the relief of the fufferers here by the fire of the 13th of J une last. SA VANNA H, August 12. By the ftiip Hunter, Tibbet, from Havre-de-Grace, arrived at Boston, Pa ris papers are received there to the 18th May. They contain no account t any battle on the Rhine. Provisions were high at Tobago in June —Pork fold for 22 dollars per bar rel—Bee( 16 to 1 7 per barrel, and no flour nor bread in the market.
