Tlx deputed CounfelWs of the province of Holland, to prevent the ill effects that may be produced by the fer ment among the people, which more than ever at the Hague, have given orders to the High Bailiff and the troops to be particularly watchful over the public tranquility, and efpecially that the latter do not fuffer more than two pople to Hop and talk together in the streets.

Letters from Conftantinople give infurmati on, that the Divan is now framing a new clan for the fuccetlion to the empire. In the reign of Amurat, a law was enacted, 'which in failure of the Ottoman fami ly, called to the throne that of Sahim Gueray.

It is 1 this law that the Grand Seignior's Council mean to repeal, on account of the Tartarian family of Gurray having been the caufe of the Porte lofing Crimea, which I a Prince of that name had betrayed into the hands of the Emprefs of Ruffia. 1 WednM'Jay came on before the Lords Commiflioners i of' appeals, two caufes againft Lord Rodney, General Vaughan, and the oihrr captors of Euftatius Mr. Lin don and Mr. Ingram, appellants the firft to the amount tf about lioool. the latter 1000I.

It is daily more ind more apparent that the affairs between the two Imperial Courts and the Porte becomes tenons.

A law of the Englilh parliament fays a writer in the Newport MercUry of laft week) tjat fhould make paper rrtoney upon the lame principles that it has been made in this country, and then make it penal to complain of it, would immediately light up the torch of rebellion. If laws are made to look back and deftroy the authenti city of notes, bonds, and other legal obligations In tbs name of all that is facred in government, what have we been contending for fo many years with Britain Was it only to (hew our courage, fpill our blood, impoverifh our citizens, and thenfhifta worfe fcene intoourbofoms? To feel is a drinciple of life, and to complain of ini ry is the birth right of Americans. To be deprived of what alone ts valuable in government, and then ordered to (hut our mouths, is adding infult to iniuftice. Penal laws to prevent the difcuffion of public grievances is the offspring of ignorance and barbarity, difkrace to the philofophic era, and a fcourge to the true principles of Lhnftianity. The treedom of the prefs wants now only to be flopped to put us on a footing with the South Americans.

WORCESTER, Auguft 19.

By a gentleman from Woodllock, we are informed, that on WednefJay the 13d inft. a part of that town was much injured by a tornado, or hurricane, more extraordinary than has been feen in that place at any time before. About five o'clock, P. M. a very dark cloud appeared in the weilern hemifphere, which whirled and moved with unufual velocity to the eaftward.

The whole horison was foon obfeured, and the darknefs equalled, if not exceeded, that of the dark day in 1780. The temped was fudden and exceffive, and the devallation truly diftreffing. A mong other accidents that took place, divers hams were blown down, and many had thejr roofs taken off; trees were proftrated in every direction, and whole orchards fwe pt away. We hear of only one human life that was loft, which happened by the (form's lifting two large elm trees out of the ground, and placing them on the roof of a houfe, where 1 woman was, thereby crufhing the fa brick upon her; a child was taken up and carried to a great dillince, and much bruifed. Many cattle were killed.

One Angular accident deferves notice, a waggon was lifted from the ground and lodged on an apple tree. There is no defcription that can equal the appearance of this very extraordinary temptft. A houfe was burnt by lightning at Canaan, and (lack of hay at Windham. The darknefs was nearly as great at Windham as at Woodftock. We further lean) from Woodftock, that thoufands of acres of orcharding, fields of corn, with fome hundred (lacks of hay, were raifed from the ground and drove in great confufion.

More than one hundred buildings were either unroofed, mattered, or wholy deftroyed. PROVIDENCE, Auguft j6. On Wednefday afternoon fome rain fell here, attended by (harp lightning, and an unufual darknefs, fome what refemhling that of the memorable 10th of Mav, 1780. The air was feiene, but confiderable quantities of leaves having fallen here, and in Rehoboth, from a great height, having reafon to fear that the country id luffered from a violent commotion of the elements. We fince learn, that much damage was done in the towns of Woodftock, Pomfret and KiUinely, Connecticut, where many dwelling houfes have been greatly damaged, barns, fences.

Sec. blown down, and large quantities of com and other grain deftroyed; many orchards and fome groves of very large timber were alfo levelled to the ground. A new houfe belonging to MrOthiniel Brown, of Kil linglv, was entirely deftroyed, and the boards, Timber, Furniture, tie. carried to a confiderable dittance, his wife was unhappily killed by a piece of timber, but five other perfons who were with her in the houfe fortunately efcaped. The tornado, it is extend? about a quarter of a mile in width, and took a South Eail direction from the North parilh of Woodllock to Chefnut Hill, in Killingly, which we learn was iu neareil aporoach to i MEW.YORK, September The foots on the fun, called MacuU and Facu'at are at this time many; the dirk fpots may fome of them be Viewed with the affiftance of a very common tekfeoc, Jjfing alfo a black or fmoakrd gtafs to defend the eye.

By thedepofitionof Ifaac Champlain, mailer, and the crew of the fchooner Venus, from Aux Cayes, in Hif paniola, arrived at New London, taken before Jofhua Colt, Efq; it appears That there came paffenger with them in faid fchooner, a French gentleman of the name of Jan Douillard Faubaine, a man between 40 and 50 yeafs of age, who faid he was bound to New London, with a view to go from thence to New York, and take paflage in the packet for L'Orient, having nothing with him but what was contained in a fmall trunk, etcept his matrafs, bedding, and a few clothes. Nothing remark able happened on the paffage until the 10th of July, when they fpoke a brig, Captain Rings, of Rhode Ifland, from the coaft of Cuinea, bound to Charlefton, South Caro lina.

On the ieth July, in the evening, he fhaved and drefled him felf in his bedclothes it blowing pretty hard, all hands were on deck at about one o'clock; the Mate having been below till twelve, the paffenger had turned in, and as he thought, was afleep; and about one o'clock, go ing down to light a frefh candle, faw him juft going out of the cabin windows on which, calling to him, he went out, the Mate fpringing forward at the fame time to catch him, but was too late. Immediately on this they put the veffel about, feeing the paffenger at the fame time fwimming from the, vclfel. They heard him for fome minutes hollowed to him, and were in hopes to have taken him in, but about twelve minutes after he was ver, they heard a loud fhriek, and faw and heard no more of him. After (peaking with the Guineaman aforemen tioned, they had feen two fharks following the veffel and prefume that one of them caught him.

They dood on for fome time, until fatisfied thry had pad beyond where he went overboard, they put about again and continued on their voyage, and arrived at New London on the 16th of Auguft lad.
