Tncy lately sent 100 waggon loads of silt fremthe Palatine fah-works at Durk heim to Landau, and have given orders to continue with the utmoit. expedition in the manufacturing thereof. According to an official account from the Prussian head quarters at Flonheim, Count JLilkreuth was on the Bt!i, ad vanced as far as Gommerfoveille, but could not come up faftcr on account of the continual rains and exceeding bad roads. General Kohler, whom he had p-.ifhed forward as far as Mitternich, took 6oscet»and about 100 privates prisoners ; but the enemy having in the mcaa time forced the redoubt at Pellin gen he marched on the 9th towards Kcrmefke), and Kalkreuth tuwards Stumpfenthum, in order rot to be cut off from gaining the roaJ from Tteves to Birkenfeldt. In this pofitioa the Prussian troops remain between the Rhine and the Moselle, from Trarbach to Worms, in order partly to cover the Hundfruck, and partly to observe the further motions of the enemy. BERLIN, August 19. Nothing of consequence has happen ed in the camp before Warsaw. The bombarding of that city has been fuf petuled for a while, because another train of artillery is firft expected from Crandez and Breflaw. General LJunther, who commands the regiment of Bofniacks, which has dif tinguiihed itfelf by its bravery, took on the 15th inlt. from the confederates; 6 piece* of tanno;: and one howitz, and made 100 men with 8 officers prifou trfi and the day following he drowned, upwards of 100 men, who attempted pass tjtc riVer Narew on a bridge of to boats. According to private accounts, the head-money has been augmented tbro out the whole Ruffian empire, and a tax upon windows has likewise been in troduced, according to which they have •to pay for each window in Peteifburg and Moscow, one rouble or Spanish Dollar, but the other cities pay only une half of this. THORN, August 16. The entrenched camp of Kofciufko before Warsaw consists properly of four camps, whose beginning and end touch upon the Viftiila, and from whence they fire very brilkly, so much so that one of their fix pound balls hit the kitchen tent of the King of Prussia. Kofciulko himfclf is in Mokatow, and has Mada linflcy with him, and the Generals Dom browlky, Mokionowflcy and Zagazeck, command under him in the camps. the river Buz the Poles took from the Ruffians a whole bridge of pontoons and upwards of 100 oxen. The King's head quarters are at present in Wlochi, a little way from Wida towards Opalin. Great numbers of artillery men arrive daily from Berlin, and likewise great transports of frefli provilions from Breflau. The Ruffian Colonel Tolstoy, who palled thiongh here for the Prussian camp, informs that Prince Repnin is marching 40,000 men, with 80 pieces heavy cannon, from Srvonia against Warsaw, and that Count Romanzow is marching another army of 40,000 men into Poland. A report that the Ruf fians had taken Wilna by storm, and with the loss of a great many men or Loth fides, wants confirmation. Anothei report that the Turks had made an at tack upon Cammieck is totally ground less. • CONSTANTINOPLE, July 19, All the reports which have been spread refpedling the drawing together of the Turkilh forces are riot confirmed by a single fact ; and the negociations with the Ruffian Minister concerning the rates of imports have been fettled in an amicable manner.—They remain on the old footing, and the Ruffian fub jess are obliged to pay the impoftdu ties as they wete fixed before. The Grand Signior has prohibited all kind of public solemnities and en tertainments of the French, of which the following is the cause. Two mer chantmen lay a considerable time in this port with their national colours conceal cd. Defcorches gained the officers of the port with gold and gave a feaft in the micift of the channel, opposite the Metropolis, and caused the colours of the French Republic to be hoiftcd with great solemnity, both" vessels at the fame time firing a salute, which was answered from the Turkifli vessels. There was a great entertainment on board, where two Polish Noblemen were present as agents from Kofcii.fko. The feait be ing over and the company returning thro' Pera, they met the fir ft interpre ter of the Austrian Embassy. A French merchant's clerk insulted him, but the people came ro the affiltance of the in nocent interpreter. Strong patroles main tained order in the night, the Porte demanded fatisfadtion and prohibited all new fealls. HAGUE, August .2 The states of Holland, who must contribute more than two thirds to wards the whole expences *>f the war, and the exigencies of the Republic in general, have declared anew, on the sth infti that they will facrifice life and property in the defence of the Repub- I lie, and therefore have adopted two new , mean of finances, having opened (be sides the loans of last year and this year, which remain open) a new voluntary and unlimited loan, at 5 per cent, in terest, where bullion and manufactured frlver and gold will be acceptcd. The States moreover declare their full expec tation that every inhabitant will richly contribute towards it, it being much better to lend one part of one's proper ty to the country in order to save it, than to leave the whole property, yea life itfelf, to the mercy of the enemy, by rendering the means of defence of the Republic impracticable. The se cond means of finance is, that every one who holds an office shall pay to wards the said loan, within fix weeks, a sum equal to what their refpe&ive offi ces were rated in the lift of officer reve nues in the year 1727. These contri butions, which are known by the rame of recognitions, may easily produce 10,000,000 of guilders. The contri bution of the Great' Pensionary, being the firfl officer of state of the Republic, may amount to 2d,000 and that of the firft member of the College of Nobles 11,000.

To the CONDUCTOR as the TIMES, Sir, I have long noticed with a mixture of indignation and furptife the too ge neral and glaring instances of imposition praftifed by a set of harpies, who take houses or parts of houses and set up as Auctioneers, for the purpufe only of mpofing on th~ credulous. Tfiefe prac tices are well known by moit of the in habitants of London and Wefliriirifter unier the name of (ham auctions. It ii unncceflary to. point out to you the number of those who have been dupes to tlicfe frauds. My sole objtfl is to apprile the unwary, of a practice which loudly calls for a check. I have been into these tioufcs for half a minute together, and have immediate ly been called on to bid, or leave the room. Generally .fix or • seven persons procured for the ptirpi.fe, attend these au&ions, and alternately bid for the arti cle put up; if an'accidental'fiaflenger steps in, the article is presently run up to a great price, and the cry of bid, bid, from the auctioneer, perhaps draws a nod from the Itranger, who is persuad ed the bargain is good, from the num ber of advances in the hidding, and it is knocked down to hrm generally at tri ple its vali'e. It he threatens to seek re dress paying his moi]ey, it is not to be had,for the auctioneer is gone the next day, and his place supplied by ano ther. July 26, 1794.
