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 ition infu'ited every chaste and refined ear by using 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! THE [No. L.J 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 is every thing but a warrior V* so far from i% that he is known to turn pale at the very idea of war fate. His friends attribute this disposition to * general philanthropy, and a desire to promote the happiness of his people by the arts of peace; which others who pretend to know more of tie matter* round!) alien that he has a delicacy of ue/ves that fits him mote for the cabinet than the field. The following extraordinary circumfiance hap pened at Naples on the Bth of January, at a con. cert befoie the royal family The famous finger D.

Letters from Conflantinople advise that the Em* pr«f« of Rufiia, who is attended in hei journey to 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 flie intends to take all those countries under her proteftion. Catherine 11. has also notified to tho Divan, that they mnft fend her a Turk of distinc tion as Ambaflailor extraordinary, to be the pacific 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 clares that he prefers war to the humiliating ftep# 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. The Parliament of Paris entered on their journals on the 31st of March, the letters patent which abo lith the Dro ts d’Aubene ; and by which all Eng lifit fubje&s dying in France, are to be coufiJered as natural born fubjeds. 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. A letter from Dingle, dated March 14, fays~ “ A night or two since a vsflel from America, witt» flax-feed and ftaves, was in a violent gale of wind stranded near this town ; the crew and paffengcra were Caved, ex*ept two or three, and so would t © cargo, but for the brutality of the country people, who, before any afliftance could reach the wreck, plundered it (as it is supposed of 350 hoglheads of fax feed.
