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.

It may probably be rememberd by a
number, that about a year ilnce the friends
of a certain Mary Canaan vrho had loft
her hufcand and a child on the western
frontier by the hands of the savages, and
who wa9 herfelf made prisoner and detain

of thepublic, that they might be enabled to
effedl her redemption—The benevolent
who generously opened their hands on that
occasion will be happy to learn that their
contributions have been fuccefsfully ap
plied to a valuable purpose. Mary Canaan
has returned to the embraces of her friends
—For this amazing kindness she desires
firft to give glory to a companionate God
whose providence has wonderfully appear

From the General Ad-vertifcr,
A certain class of paprs in the Unit
ed States have obtained he appellation
of Britilh prints. Thejdo not deserve
the title: many of th independent
Britilh papers would fcor to pursue the
political line of condt>& th y have adopt
ed. They can-be com'par.-d 10 Kritifh
minifkerial prints only, for the r .me ca
lumnies on the French resolution, '.he
fame doctrine of paliive obedience and
non-refillance are preached by "both.
The Englilh papers last alluded to, it is
well known, are only supported by be
ing paW by the government of tVat
country, the good sense and spirit
the nation at large wtould not prolong
their existence a moment if that support
was withdrawn. It is only surprising,
how among us the advocates of princi
ples so subversive of popular govern
ments find encouragement.—There i«
undue influence fomtwhere.

LONDON, August 1.
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.
