LpKDON", April 10. ' PHE rnncedeCont; having returned to Paris -I will induce several others of the French fugitive Princes to follow his example. Theab fence of many of the French Nobility from their own country, is one cause of the great scarcity of ready money. In the ]alt letter from the King of Prnffia to the Bishop of Liege, his Majesty fays, that if the Prince does not accede to his propofuions, heMhall with draw his forces from Liege, which he is well af iured will produce a civil war. 1 he new King of Hungary brings with him to Germany, what was much wanted in the lad months of his brother's reign,.a great supply of money. I c is said that his Majesty, whiKt Grand Duke ofTufcany, was able to lav byannuallyfo contiderable a sum of money, that he found bim lelf, on the day of his brother's death, pofleUed of a capital of eighty millions of florins. I he states of flanders and Hatmati, have both declared themselves strongly in favor of returning to the allegiance of the new King of Hungary, on the terms proposed by his Majesty. Every pru oent citizen would w:fli to do the iame, for it is inipoiliblenow to miltake the motives and actions o' the clergy of Brabant, whole foleview is to ag grandize themselves at the facrifice ofthe country at large. J Very few of the fugitive Noblefle of France, i endent in this country, can procure remittances trom home, and the lituations offeveral are in consequence diftrefsful in the extreme ! The Duke ofLuxembourg is to be reckoned among the unfortunate, as though he was left without a re source, he has found|a friend from whom he ex periences an ample lupport. He had conciliated the friendfhip of the Duke of Marlborough by hispolitenefs/hewn to the latter when in Paris, and his Grace has, in return, given him permissi on to draw on his Banker without reftrit r tion. This instance of munificence does honour to the country. Among the foremoit ofthe lafe Emperor's good qualities, was that of attending to applications w hen from the meanest of his fubje<fts ; and it is to the honor of his memory that in no instance •where rcdrefs of grievance was demanded in juf t*ce or equity, it was ever refufed. His firft'bu finefs every day was to read over and investigate ail petitions and memorials, and to give orders accordingly. By recent accounts from China, we l#arn that every part of that vast empire is defaced and torn by civil diflenfions, which rage with the molt ungovernable fury ; the fame accounts also des cribe, in the moll pathetic terms a mortality oc casioned by famine through inoftof the province; particularly in that of Canton, where the mise ries of the people are indescribable. Such were the calamities occasioned by famine in the province ot Canton, that contrary to the jealous fpiric of the people, the Engliih then at that port were invited into the town, and per mitted to explore the adjacent country, that they might behold, and report to the British I'ettle ments, the diltreiles which reigned there ; but unfortunately for their own preservation, the settlements were compelled to deny them that relief which at any other time humanity would afford and dictate. T.ie inhabitants the river, who are prodigioully numerous, felr much less the eff«<fts or this famine, than tliofe in the country, the .ormsr having a supply of fifli, of which necefli ty obliged them to refufe the participation with their unhappy countrymen. So sacred is the liberty of the Press confulered by the French National Aifembly, that they will overlook even libels upon themselves and their j*oeeedings, rather than attempt to check the freedom of wriring and of priming. Declaration of the Sovereign Congress of the United Provinces of Flanders. Dated Br.ujfili, April 7. The said Congress being informedthat a report is (pread abroad, that regulations are about to take place with foreign powers, contrary to the rights and liberties of the Republic and United Provinces, positively declare that no engagement whatsoever has been entered into with any fo reign power, neither do they mean to enter into nny which can in theTeaft afFeOl the liberty, in dependence, or commerce of the Republic in ge neral, nor any particular province! The Con gress exhort, therefore, every individual, to be cautious of giving credit to every insinuation of the kind, which can proceed only from evil-mind ed people, with a view to check the ardour of patnotifm among the people—to foment divifi 011s, and to check the confidence of the nation placed in their representatives. Given in Congress, April 6th, 1790. (Signed) Baron de Havetikerke, Pref. H. C. N. Vandernoot, P. S. Vaneupen, Sec. Doctor Blair, of Edinburgh, hasreceived eight hundred pounds for the copy of a third volume r.T Jermons. Jpril |6. PHILADELPHIA, June 10. As the derivation of the term Merry A/idrtwis not generally known, it may not be amiss tp men tion, that it arose from one Andrew Borde, a droll physician, who used to attend market towns, and liarrangue the populace in a facetious manner. He was in great repute, and much followed in the year 1574. BURLINGTON, June j. A correspondent begs leave to suggest to the farmers of New Jerl'ey, the great advantages that would flow from (hearing their early lambs. The custom is generally adopted in England, and furnifhes a valuable materiaHn the impor tant manufacture of woolen hats. The ui'ual time for (hearing lambs is about five or fix weeks after that of llieep /hearing ; this will allow fufficient time for the fleeces of the lambi to grow before winter ; and instead of injuring, rather promotes the grovfth of the wool. Many judicious farmers in this country have tried the experiment with fuccels, and found the averaged quantity ot wool obtained by these means, to be a pound and a quarter from each lamb. BOSTON, JUNK y. Mr. Si'eliexd, for many years Quarter-Mas. ter in the i6th,or (Queen's) Regiment of Ligln- Dragoong, known by the nameofßurgoyne's,and who wn captured with that General and Lord Cornwallis, in this country, has lately arrived in this town, from Gibraltar ; and is an instance of the good effects that the exercise of walking has upon the health. This gentleman is considered as one of thefirft walkers in Europe—he has late ly walked through every county in England and Ireland, through France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and a great part of the Barbary Hates, particu larly from Tangiers to Meqinez and Fez, in Motocco, and through the Arab's country he has also walked above 790 miles since his arrival in America—What most remarkable is, that se vere snow storms never deter him from fettiii" upon a journey on foot, from which he seldom ieels the inialleft inconvenience.
