1. letter from Paris informs, that there is a po
al projed said to be on foot which causes some
here : it is to give the illand of Minorca to the
valiers of Malta, from the port of which, that
:r may set out armaments with success to cruise
nft the Barbarians, who infeft the Mediterra
i. It is well known, that the port of Mahon
V nature formed for the anchorage of veifels of
largest size. It will be more for the interest of
uguefe, Italians, and Spaniards, to employ the
Ithefe marine against the Africans th?n in war
againft the Turks, a more civilized nation than
Africans, and one that hurts nobody. It is at
ent actually in agitation to perfoade Spain to
: the illand of Minorca, as Charles the Vth
:d the itland of Malta, to the fugitive knights
ie order of Jerusalem. It /hould feent that the
nitics of Madrid are particularly interested in the
iove arrangements, of which the Baron de Suf
ieign is the negociator.
An elderly maiden lady, of extreme delicacy,
n being solicited to fubferibe to the charity for
ie propagation of the gospel, refufed to do so,
ecaufe the directors of that pious and noble infti

word so very gross as the term “ propagation.”
We hear that a new work is preparing for the
refs, and in considerable forwardnefs, entitled,
[ Au Hiftory of the Corruptions of Christianity
ince the Reformationin which will be clearly
(roved, among other things, that Luther and Me
andhon, in Germany; Calvin, Viret, and Bcza,
put Geneva; Cranmer, Latimer, and Ridley, in
England; and John Knox, in Scotland, were Uni
fcfluians ; and that they held precisely the fame prin
«copies, opinions, and tenets, refpeding the Tri
nity, with the Unitarians of the present day, com
monly called Socinians. It is said the work, which
33 the fruit of much reading, refledion, and an
'xiety -for the improvement of religion, may be
fconfidered as a proper supplement to the learned,
'pious, and illustrious Dr. JPrieftly’s Corruptions of
|Chriftianity.
A letter lately' received from the continent,
Intentions, amongst the extraordinary instances of
'longevity we foinetimes meet with, that a rasa
now living at Paris, who for a criminal offence
was fenrenced to imprisonment for a hundred years.
This term has adually expired about three months
since, and he completed it in the fame prison,
where at his own particular request, he still conti
nues, and intends to /lay in his old. and familiar
residence during the remainder of his existence.
A letter from Algiers, dated Feb. 20, fays,
“ The plague, which has so long desolated this
plate and its environs, has at last disappeared, but
the small pox rages in its Head with a rnoft equal
violence, that disorder having, in the comic of a
few months, earned off 35>0c0 persons. The
Dey has feur a dragoman toConftant : nop!e to make
the ufnal presents to the Divan, and to renew the
treaty with the Grand Signior.
Ex trail oj a later from Venice , March Z.
“ The naval armament which has been for some
time in preparation by order of the Senate, it is
now well known, is to join aSpauifti fleet, for the
bombardment of Tetuan, in order to take some e
venge for the behaviour of the Morifco cruizers
against the veffeis belonging to this republic, which
they have lately captured in every part of the Me
diterranean, See. by which the merchants have
sustained heavy losses : this condud of the Moors
is equally rapacious and unexpected, as presents to
a very large amount have been lent fiom itic fl at «
to the Emperor of Morocco, who accepted of them,
and promised that proper orders /hould be given
to all his cruizers to pay the neceflary attention to
all fliips carrying the Venetian flag.”
It is whispered on the continent, by those who
pretend to be well read in political necromancy,
that the principal objed that occasions the inter
view between the Empress of Russia and the King 1
of Poland in Kiovia, is, to fettle the succession to
that crown on Prince Poniatofki, nephew to the
present monarch; and next to take proper mea
sures, in order to strip the sublime Port of the three
provinces, which still acknowledge the Ottoman
sway, to the northward of the Danube. To give
colour of probability to the report, it is added,
that the Emperor is making the mod formidable
preparations in the province of Gallicia.
According to the memoirs of M. Herman, there
is a new statement made of the Chinese empire.
Contrary to all past historians, the provinces are 17.
The measurement of land, 110,000 square German
miles. The population 104,069,253 on the com
putation of nine to a family. Every seventh man
is a foldier —the revenue 200 millions of roubles.
According to the fame memoirs, which have all
the authority from M. Herman, being a Counfel
lor of the Court of Ruflia, Tobol/ki is about a fifth
part of the Ruffian empire—the revenue of it, about
a million of roubles per annum, the number of in
habitants —510,000.
One lingular part of their traffic is in the sale of
children.
Extrail of a letter from Paris , April 4.
« A reform will be made in the royal /table, by
which there will be 2000 horses fewer to support
than heretofore; and as each horse costs the King
a pistole per diem, it will be a saving of 7,300,000
livres. The household will in future only be
dothed every two years.”
Amidst all the combustions of the New-England
ers, we perceive the fame spirit of devotion that
aduated them 100 years ago. One of the regi
ments called out by their government, was lately
reviewed before their march to join General Lin
coln against the insurgent. On the appearance of
the reviewing officer, the whole went to prayer;
they then “displayed their columns,” and per
formed other military evolutions; and concluded
the bufiaeft of day by again resorting to prayer!

A gentleman of this kingdom who is now on his
travels, wntes from Vienna, that our politicians
need not fear a war in Germany during the life of
the prefeut Emperor, if there is auy possibility to
pi event it, for fays the writer, “ the great Jofepb

Letters from Conflantinople advise that the Em*

Taurida with 150,000 men, has notified to the
Grand Signior, that be muff order the Bathaws of
Oczakow, Armenia, and Bella;abia, to.etire, as

proteftion. Catherine 11. has also notified to tho
Divan, that they mnft fend her a Turk of distinc

witness of her coronation in Taurida. A second
letter from Conflantinople announces the answer of
the Divan to the Einptefs The G < and Signior de

required of his Highness by the Autocratrtx of all
the Ruffians. Our politicians are actually betting,
that some fiiots have been exchanged on bo'h fidea.

DUBLIN, May 1.
By a letter from London to a principal trading
town in this city, receive 4 by the last packet, we
learn that on Werinel'day last his Majefly received
a letter from the French King, written with his
own hand, containing the strongest assurances, that
whatever ifiue the affairs between the Porte and
Russia may take, and however his Chriflian Ma
jefly may be obliged to take part in the threatened
war, fltould such an event occur, nothing therein
ftiall in the ieaft disturb the amity ofGreat-Britain
and France. This afthr&nce, the account adds,
had the most falntary tffefls in London, in quiet
ing the apprehenfiems of the merchants, that the
breaking out of a war upon the continent, would
involve England in a quarrel.
