He is very active in his profeffion, celebrates mafs, and many perfons flock to confeffion. He has already made many converts. As a convincing proof of his affiduity in office, feveral children, who were baptifed by proteftant milionaries, have been re-baptifed into the holy church. If this prieft is continued in his milion, we have reafon to believe that he will, in a great measure, counteract what our miffionaries of the church of England have been doing for many years paft; and the 840 1. per ann. which is now appropriated to the fupport of our fix miffionaries in this province, might be better applied in paying off the provincial debt." Bofton, New-England, July 27. We hear from Newport, that laft Monday the floop Liberty, Capt. Reid, brought in there a brig and a loop belonging to Connecticut, that they had feized in the Sound, which, together with the imprudent behaviour of the captain and fome of his people, fo exafperated a number of perfons there, that on Wednesday they went on board the Liberty as the lay at anchor in the harbour, cut her cables, and let her drift afhore; they then fet her on fire, but being informed a confiderable quantity of powder was on board, for fear of endangering the town, they extir guished it again; they then cut away her maft, threw her guns and flores overboard, entered the cabbin and destroyed the cap tain's and his wife's clothes, bedding, &c. broke the tables, chairs, china, and other things therein, and did not quit her ti'l three o'clock the next morning, when after fcuttling the veffel, they left her a meer wreck, and fhe now remains funk near one of the wharfs there. The brig that was feized we hear was legally difcharged on Thurfday, but that the floop made her efcape in the confufion the evening before. Charles-Town, South Carolina, July 27. The form of a general affociation, effectually to difcontinue the importation of European and Eaft India goods and negroes into this province "until the late acts for raifing a revenue in America, and for extending the powers of admiralty courts there, fhall be repealed," was framed the beginning of laft week, by a joint committee from gentlemen in trade, that were defirous of laying afide difinctions, and feeing one form only adopted, and circulated throughout the whole province; the chief object of which comInittee was, to comprize all the eflential matters, contained in the two forms before extant, into one, and to remove, as far as pofli hie, every obftacle to any man's fubfcribing thereto; which business was completed yef. terday (e'nnight.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS. RUSSIA. PETERSBOURG, Aug. 15. The court has received a courier from Prince Gallitzin, who is encamped before Choczim, with the following advices. On the 2d inftant Prince Gallitzin received advice that feveral thousands of Crim tartars under the command of their Kan, and a large detachment of Turks, were in full march with 19 pieces of cannon to attack our army, and endeavour to get a large fupply of provifions and ammunition into Choczim. Accordingly the next morning early our light troops d:fcovered the enemy, which marched fo faft, that by noon the advanced guards of beth armies fired upon each other. At two o'clock the enemy extended their line as if they intended to farround us and attack us on all fides at once: foon after they be an to attack our light troops, and though thefe fupported by the cavalry repulfed them several times, the enemy tell upon them in different places with fo much fury, that they penetrated as far as the redoubts on the left wing of our army; notwithstanding which our artillery and bombs made fuch havock among them, that they were obliged to retire. At length the Turks and Tartars finding all their attempts unfuccefsful, ran away with great precipitation about eight o'clock in the evening, and were purfued feveral werftes by our light troops, 491 During these attacks a large detachment of the beteged made a fly from Choczim, in order to favour the defign of those who came to their affiftance, but were driven back with lofs. The lofs of the enemy upon the whole must have been very confiderable, and it appeared, by the dress of those who were killed, that many of then belonged to the confederates. Our lofs confifted only of fome hufars killed and wounded. There are none of the enemy now near our camp, the light troops which were fent in purfuit the next day, not having found any within twenty werftes. Choczim continues ftill to be blocked up and bombarded. Kaminieck. Aug. 11. According to the laft advices from Choczim, that garrifon had been relieved by the arrival of the vanguard of the Ottoman army, confisting of 30,000 men; prince Proforowski, who was fent to oppofe them, was repulfed with a confiderable lofs. After the action, the Turks retired within three miles of Choczim, and the next day a body of 70,000 Turks advanced towards the Ruffian entrenchments; but Prince Gallitzin not chufing to risk a fecond engagement, retreated to his old camp at Bukowina. Since the fiege has been raised, the garrifon has joined the detachment which was fent for its relief. It is faid for certain, that this fiege, and the different actione which bave happened fince its commencement, have coft the Ruffians 20,000 men. We hear that General Romanzoff endeavours to cover the frontiers of Ruffia, and is actually approaching towards Bender. The Grand Vizier continues ftill in the fame pofition, but we are at prefent uncertain, whether the Poderafky of Lithuania and the Serafkier Pacha have joined his army with their troops. GERMANY. Extract of a Letter from Vienna, Sept. 6. On the 18th of Auguft, about eight in the morning, the lightening teil, at Brefcia, upon a magazine, in which were about twelve thousand rubbi of fine cannon powder, which was to have been fent to Venice. The explofion was fo great, that it overturned about a fixth part of the houses in the town, and, according to the beft information we have hitherto been able to receive, buried near 3000 perfors under their ruins. Be longing to the above magazine was a tower built of large ftones, which blew up at the fame time, and falling like hail upon the churches, houfes, and other buildings, hattered them from the very roo's to the cel lars. Several other fragments of ones, launched horizontally, unrooted the houses, pierced the walls, and beat down the mot folia butidings. One of thole fragments driven by the violence of the shock to the diftance of half a mile, there beat to pieces a houfe on which it fell, and buried five perions under the ruins. In fhort there is not 492 FOREIGN AFFAIRS. fo much as one edifice, which has not fuffered more or less by this terrible event. All the ftreets are covered with ruins of every fort, and befides the houses beat down from top to bottom, upward of 500 more threatening every moment to fall. The explofion was fo violent, that the ftrongeft faftenings, at eighteen miles diftance, were forced open: fome pieces of stone carried ten miles, and a cannon, of twenty-five cwt. driven two miles and a half. The fields near the baftion, on which the lightening fell, are entire By burnt up, and covered with the ruins of the houses beat down, which were driven there, trees torn up by the roots and shattered, and with dead bodies. All the fhops in the town were forced open by the violence of the fhock, and many of the doors belonging to the houses carried up into the air and that tered to pieces. In short, through the whole eity, not one fquare of glafs remains unbroken. The damage as yet is estimated at four millions of Philippins; and the government has appointed two thoufand men to clear away the ruins, and fave, if poffible, Rumbers of unfortunate people, who lie almoft entirely buried beneath them, making the air refound with the most horrible cries." POLAND. Warfaw, Auguft 10. Our provinces continue to be a prey to the misfortunes of anarchy and the havock of war. The confederates, whofe audacity encreases with their number, have frequent rencounters with the Ruffians, which generally turn out to their advantage. We are peftered with swarms of vagabonds, who take advantage of the gene ral confufion to commit all kinds of exceffes. Extract of a Letter from Podolia, Aug. 19. "On the 16th inft. the Ruffian army commanded by Prince Gallitzin quitted the forest of Buckowina, and repaffed the Niefter. This forest, which is fituated fome diftance from Choczim, is 15 miles in extent, and is famous in hiftory for the defeat of the Polish army by the Tartars. The Turks being informed of this retreat, fell upon the rear guard and killed a great number of the Ruffant, and the boats which they had thrown over the river breaking, owing to the very great crouds that got into them, near three thoufand of their troops were drowned in the Niefter, and upwards of thirty pieces of cannon fell into the hands of the Turks. On the 17th a large detachment of Turks croffed the Niefter, and attacked the advanced guard of the Ruffians, commanded by Prince Proforowski. This engagement proved very bloody on both fides. The fame day another body of Turks croffed the river and engaged the Ruffians near Krakos. On the 18th a third body of the Ottoman troops, confifting of 5000 men, paffed the Niefter and marched towards Stanislawow, where it will encamp, and the commander is ordered to ftand his ground, The whole Ruffian army is now in Poland, in order to take reft and cover their magazines. The different engagements they have had with the enemy have been bloody enough. The Turks always attack with great impetuofity, but without order, and when beidly refifted, cannot ftand their ground. Nevertheless they have one advantage over the Ruffiane, which is, that their cavalry is more numerous. The Turks endeavour always to avoid coming to a general engagement, and feem determined to defroy the Ruffian army by piecemeal." FRANCE. A letter from Paris, Aug. 22, says, "A arret of the king's council of ftate is just published, by which it appears, that the exercife of the exclufive privilege of the India Company to the ifles of France and Bourbon, to the Indies, to China, and in the feas be yond the Cape of Good Hope, is suspended till fuch time as it fhall be by his majesty otherwife ordered; and in the mean time all his majesty's fubjects will have free leave to trade in those parts on their own bottom." TURKEY. Conftantinople, July 17. On Monday the 10th inftant a fire broke out in this city, which raged with great fury for twelve hours. It burnt for near a mile in length, and as it happened near the Hippodrome, St. Sophie, and the Porte, it confumed a great number of the principal palaces, fome small mosques, and near fix hundred houses.
