a. The following is an Account of the Manner the Mediation of France, Great-Britain, and the Srates General, was fettled, to uegociate a Peace between the Grand Signior the Empcrorpand the Czarina. The Griffier Fagcl read in the 'Affembly of the States General a Letter from M. Swart Refident of their High MightineflTes at the Court of Ruffia, wherein that Minuter lays, Count Ofterman had acquainted him, that the Era-peror of the Romans had communicated to the Czarina by his Minifter, that the Grand Signior had recmcftcd the Mediation of the Court of France, which his moft Chriftian Majefty had readily accepted, in cafe the Emperor and Czarina would agree to fuch Mediation i his Imperial Majefty did nor hcfitate to accept thereof, and earneftly follicited the Court of Ruffia to do the like. The Em- prefs, in anfwer to thefe Sollicitations, (aid, fhe heard wirh Pleafure that France would ufe her good Offices 4to terminate the Differences which fubfift between Ruffia and the Porte, to which fhe would readily concur, pro vided the Emperor would at the fame time ask the Medi ation ot the Maritime Powers, with whom her Imperial Majefty had always liv'd in perfeft Friendfhip and good Underftanding.

That Count Ofterman had rcceiv'd Orders to acduaint tne Dritiin ana uurcn lYiinutcrs ncrewitn, ana to tea tnem, the Czarina hoDd. from the ftrifl: Fricndfllio which had always fubfiAed between her and thofe Powers, that nicy wouiu rcaany grant ineir aeur a mcuiauun, ana mat without Loft of Time they would fend proper fto tneir Ambaliadors rending, at tne forte, to act in con cert with that ot trance.

That their High Mightineffes look upon it as a new Inftance of her Majefty Fricndfhip towards their Republics, and for Tthich they fhall not be wanting on all Occafions to majce the moft fuitable Returns.

That the States General had taken all Opportunities to obtain an; Accommodation be tween Kuliia and the Porte, but that they had liict with Jnfiirmounrable Difficulties therein, notwithstanding which, they had renew their Orders to M. Kalkoen their Am-baffador at the Porte, to take Advantage of the Icaft favourable Difpofition which might appear inthe Porte towards' Peace, That their High Mightineffes finding that their good.

ERY, TRIAL having been lately publifhed in Great-Britain and. Ireland, with 0 an extraordinary Applaufe, I thought proper to A ftnd you thc-following taken from erai Pyate letters here in town, which give a particular accounc of, the reception It met with in: London. Every true Lover of Pennfjhania receive a fenfible pleafure, when he is' informed that Mr. Hamilton has acquired a high Reputation at borne, on account of his learned and generous Defence of the of Mankind at New-Fork: For nothing can reflect greater honourj)n this Government, than the Praifes which our Mother-Country has fo liberally beftowed on a Gentleman, who has annually prefided in our Affemblies for above thefe 3iw Years paft. His Charafter is now raifed much a-bove the reach of igndrance, envy or malice fhereore of whatever fixe or denomination, they be, who have fignalized themfelvcs in the Mercury, and without daring to own their names have hitherto fpit their poifon in the dark, That they map from henceforth and at all times hereafter, peaceably arid quietly Ctatal out of their holes even in open day, and CHJfcfxi Him in their ufual Jargon, and Gibbcrifh; Without the Let, Suit, Trouble, Moleftation or Denial of any pcrfon or pcrfons whatfaetfer.

As it would be highly imprudent in any man of fenfe to defcend fo low, as to take the leaft notice of. fuch feribling Reptiles So it would be altogether, impertinent to offer any thing ih juftification of a Cha-rafter that ftands in need of none hotwithftanding that it has been fo joften attacked by every infamous method that Rage, or Spite, or Envy, or Cowardice could fuggeft For THE EFENDER OP HE LIBEEL-TY OF THE PRESS, by the Strength of his own Genius, has, on the nobleft Foundation, that of promoting the Good of Mankind, erefled to himfelf a Monumenr, which will tranfmit his Memory with Honour, to lateft Posterity.

1 W7 haVC bce" amucci NG R's Vy TRIAL, 'which has become the common Topic of 4 Convention in all the Coffee-Houfes, both at the Court- End of the Town and in the City. During my Qbferva-c tion, there has not been any piece, publifhed here, fo gree- dily read and fo highly applauded. The greateft Men at the Bar have openly declared, that the Subjeft of 4 Libels was never fo well treated in Weftminfier-Hall, as at New-Tcrk; Our political Writers of diffe- rent FaSions, who never agreed in any thing elfe, have men-1 tioned the Trial in their public Writings with an Air of 4 Rapture and Triumph. a Goliath in Learning and Politics gave his opinion of Mr. Hamilton's Argument in 1 thefe terms, If It is not it is BEIIER than $2 ID, it Ought to be Jg, and mil Always be Wm Jujttce prevails.

The Tryal has been reprinted four times in three months, and there has been a greater demand for it, by all ranks and degrees of People, than has been known for any of the moft celebrated Performances of our greateft Geniufes. We look upon Zengers Advocate, as a glorious Affertor of Public Liberty and cj the Rights and Privileges of Britons. I had almoft forgot to tell youl that there has been alfo lately printed here fome Remarks on Zenker's Defence. It is laid the preface) that they were wrote by two minent Lawyers in one of the Plantations. But withftandinff a good Book generally make a bad Anfwer 4 fell) It has fo happened thar the few Perfons, who out of curiofity bought the Remarks, have been ill-natured e- nough to damn the piece as a Jtupid, Jenjelejs performance fo that the greater part of the impreffion remains to the no fmall mortification of the Bookfcllcr, .1,.
