VOL. IV. THE' N* 196. EDINBURGH ADVERTISER. From TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12. to FRIDAY, NOVEMBER L • 765. The BANK- NOTE ; or, T^ THREE FRIENDS. An Oriental Talc. . " N that mediocrity of condition ' which, Iin thefe times, Virtue principally chuf- es for her refidence, equidiftant frem the two clafles of the low and the high mob, '. tere were three friends, Philibert, Lionel, and Anfelm. Philibert, on a time, under a pecuniary embnrr ailment, after fome hefitation to • which of his two friends he fhould apply, and lefs afraid of being denied by either than of offending him to whom he fhould not have re courfe, was, at length determin- ed, rather by a neceffity of determining than by any caufe of preference, to fend to Lio- nel. Juft at that junfture, Lionel was actual- ly on the point of paying away a bank- note of an hundred pound, which was all that he had in readinefs by him, and which he neverthelefs fent away, without demur, to the relief of his friend. Philibert, on receipt of it, was preparing fo get it changed, when a meiiage come? * to him from 4' ifelm, on an occafion of much the fame nature ; upon which, with- out ftanding to coofider his « SR ut. d n I it, he difpatched away to him the bank- f kettle drums belonging to the artillery note he had that inftant received. As it was once intended that the funeral of his late Royal Highnefs the Duke of Cumberland, ihould be conducted with all military honours, we think nothing can give our readers a better idea of it, than the following account of the funeral pro- ceffion of the Great Duke of Marlbo- rough, in the reign of George I. THE ninth of Auguft, about half an hour after twelve, the proceffion began, and paired along the road, thro' St. James's Park, and the Upper Park, to Hide Park corner, thence to Piccadilly, down St. James's ftreet, through Pall- Mail, and by Charing Crofs, thro' King- ftreet, to Weft- minfter Abbey. A proper difpofition had been made of fuch of the forces, as were drawn from the camp in Hide Park to attend the funeral. The firft regiment of his Majefty's foot- guards was drawn up in the Upper Park, with their right next to Buckingham- houfe; the reft, both foot and horfcguards, and horfe grenadiers, were drawn up facing the road thro" that park, oa the left of the firft regiment of foot- guards, in the order* thCy were to file off after each other.

Upon this Anfelm al- fo giving to his friend's wants the prefer- ence over his own, away flies the bank- note, in this third circulation, to its firft owner, who was not a little furprifed at this return of it to him, as, by the number, Lionel knew it to be the identical note that he had fent to Philibert. How then came it back to him by the way oi An fit Im ? Ay, there was the myftcry. To clear up which, away he polls to Anfihn, who naturally told him the caufe of his having received it from Philibert. To him they im- mediately proceeded together. The ' explanation you may be lure could not be very unfavourable to the drawing ftiil clof- er, if that had been needful, the ties of their commutual friendfhip. Nay, I would . not fwear, that, in their having given each other fuch proof of their iincerity, they did not enjoy almoft as great pleafure as fome more fafhionahle friends would have taken • while hugging themfelves on the having- eluded an application of that kind, efpecial: ' Iy if it fhould have been to the getting thereby rid of a friend capable of fuch a horrid unfriendly action, as that of at- tempting to borrow money of a friend. train of artillery, confining of fifteei; piec£ § ,.

AMERICA. Jamaica, Augnfl 2. Our aflembly, which was in March hift prorogued ito Septem- « her, was on the arrival of the packet from England, diftbi'ved, and a new aflembly fumrponei to rwreB the 13th inftant • and as moil- of the old members are returned, it is expe& cd the old difpute will be revived, and another d'tfrokition be the confequence. A man of War has been obtained from the admiral to fail for England the 20th, which in all probability will carry home an ac- count of the proceedings of the affembly. At prefent politics ingiofs the attention of every body. Charles- Tmvii, Sept. 4. By the proceed- ings of the aflembly of Barbadoes, publifh- ed in the Barbadoes Mercury, it appears, that letters had been received by Governor Pinfold from Admiral TyreU and Captain Knowler of the Milford, giving accounts that the faid Captain being fent to obferve what the French were doing at Cayenne and the Triangles, he difcovered feveral fiiips of war and other vcifels in the river Cayenne, and alhore a great number of tents and fome buildings, and imagined the French were laying up a very great ma- gazine fupplied from North America, Cap- tain Knowler having feized a brigantine from Philadelphia cleared out for Bar- badoes, with provilions and naval ftores, but, by the invoices and Sills of lading, bound for Cayenne, and had letters to the French governor there. The faid brigan- tine was condemned in Barbadoes for illi- cit trade, and by papers found on board it appears, that Meflrs. John Remfon and Thomas Rich of Philadelphia, have enter- ed into contrail for fupplying the French at Cayenne. Charles- Tototi, Sept. 11. The aflembly of Barbadoes hath direct- ed all the papers relating to the French en- terprizes at Cayenne and the Triangles, as well as thofe concerning the Philadelphia contratt for fupplying the French, to be tranfmitted home to the agent for that Ifland, with orders to lay them before his Majefty's minifters. LONDON. Yefterday his Grace the DukeofNew- raftle was at Richmond, and had the ho- nour of a long conference with his Majefty. As the ifles called the Triangles, near the continent of America, have always been deemed neutral by European powers, the late behaviour of the French in fettling therein is contrary to treaty; and it is faid that expoftulations will be immediate- ly made thereon - by our court. Private letters' from Breft advife, that orders had juft been received at the office of the Intendant of the Marines, to get ready for fea, with all expedition, five men of war of the line, three frigates, and feve- ral tranfports, as ftore- lhips. Yefterday there was a cabinet council at St. James's, at which his Majefty was pre- fent, but there was 110 levee. IJis Majef- URGH ADVERTISER FOR ty returned in the afternoon to Richmond. On Sunday the Hon. Capt. Weymes, of Richmond, was married to the widow of the late George Dimmock, Efq; of Barnes, with a fortune of 12,000 1. Yefterday orders were iflued out for the interment of his Royal Highnefs the Duke of Cumberland, as a Prince of the Biood Royal, on Saturday night; in confequence of which, the Board of Works began yef- terday to ereift a platform from the Houfe of Peers to tbe fouth door of Weftminfter Abbey for that purpofe. His Royal Higli- nefs's corpfe is to be removed this evening from his houfe in Upper Grofvenor- ftreet to the Painted- Chamber, there to lie in ftate till interment. Tuefday all the livery fervants, belong- ing to his Royal Highnefs the Duke of Cumberland, received notice that they are difplaced. We hear his Royal Highnefs had up- wards of ' forty livery fervants at Newmar- ket, men and boys. Yefterday the tickets for the enfuing ftate- lottery began to be cut at the lottery- office, Whitehall, in order to be put into the wheel. Several perfons were detected in ftealing the effeifts of the unhappy fufterers, by the late fire in Bilhopfgate- ftreet, who were fent to the Compters by the fitting Magiftrates. The populace having feized one of them, threw him into the flames ; but, by the interpofition of a peace officer, they dragged him to the Poultry Compter. Orders are given not to fupply the foot- guards attending on duty in the neigh- bourhood of the late fire in Bifhopfgate- ftreet, & c. with fuch plenty of liquor; fome of them being fo intoxicated, laft night be- fore nine o'clock, as to occafion many dis- orders. The Grefliam committee are determined to accommodate as many of the fufferers as they can, with part of the Royal Ex- change, above flairs. , One of the fchemes, which his Royal • Highnefs the late Duke of Cumberland had in view to accomplifh, was, that of an ad- ditional pay to the men of the three regi- ments of foot- guards: he eonfidered the prefent pay of that brave corp, as too fmall to fubfift upon in this metropolis; and, it is faid, was endeavouring to have it raifed from eightpence to one ihilling per day: which indeed, confidering the price of provifions, at the time that pay was fix- ed, and what the increafed price is at pre- fent, a fold. ier could then have fubfifted much better on his eightpence, than at prefent on a Ihilling. This day George N^ lfon, Efq; the new Lord Mayor, accompanied by Sir William Stevenfon, the late Lord Mayor, Alder- men, Recorder, & c. went in a private man- ner to Weftminfter- Hall, and after the ufu- al ceremonies were over, returned in the fame private manner to the Manfion- houfe. On Sunday laft Dr. Barnardifton, Maf- ter of Bennet College, Cambridge, refign- ed, agreeable to cuitom, his officc of vice- 176^.

The dividends of the old annuities will begin to be paid on Monday next, at the South Sea Houie; on which day the trans- fers . will alfo be made at the new Annuity- office. It is faid, that another exprefs arrived yefterday at the admiralty- office, from Commodore Pallifer, with an account of fome farther encroachments of the French, on tbe banks of Newfoundland. It' is reported, that Admiral Sir Charles Knowles will, in a few days, be created Knight of the Bath.

This week a lift of French vcfTels, feized 4 by his Majefty's cruizers, on the coaft of Newfoundland, and Gulf of St Laurencc, with their refpective cargoes, tonnage, and names, have been . fubmitted to the Privy Council : and it is faid, that his Exccllency Count Guerchy has received orders from his court to lemonftrate concerning the illegality of fuch captures. , URGH ADVERTI ft is talked, that the Hon.

Laft night Sir John Cuft, Bart. Speaker to the Honourable Houfe of Commons, came to town, from his feat in Lincoln- fhire. On Wednefday fe'nnight, a very melan- choly accident happened at Tyde St. Ma- ry's near Wifbech : A young lady who had been married but a few months, upon account of fome trifling infignificant af- fronts from her hufband, who had indulg- ed her in feveral articles of a very expenfive nature, took it into her head to Ihoot her- felf : the prepararations for doing it were very extraordinary. She had declared in public, that her life would not be long ; and in her own family, that Ihe was deter mined to put an end to it fome way or other. She wrote a couple of letters to her brothers the day before : was remark- . ably chearfui in the evening over a game at cards ; took a folemn leave of fome ac- quaintance, who were in the family, at night ; and afterwards, ' tis fuppofed, con- veyed unobfeeved,, the gun into her cliam- . ber. Early next mopning, as foon as her hufband was rifen, fhe tied on her lower garments, planted the muzzle of the picce BO her ear, and with the help of a poker drew the trigger, and blew her fkull and brains againft the cielmg, and all about the tooni. 1 he coroner's jury brought in their verdift, Lunacy.

On. Friday night laft a me danger was difpatcbed- . from the Secretary . of State's office; to his Grace the Duke of Richmond, Ainbaffador to the Court of France, on af- fairs. of confequence. It is faid that tip Marquis de. Bloffet, . S E R FOR I 765. 31- 7 who was charged with the affairs of France in the abfence of Count Guerchy, will fooa fet out for Paris, having been recalled. They write from llochefort, that the . Bricolc frigate failed the 30th ult. with difpatches for the Fren h commandant at St. Peter's, near Newfoundland. The late fall of the Canada bills at Paris, is attributed to the French court having demanded fatisfaiSion for their Ihips taken by the Engiifh men of war at Newfound- land, which has been refufed, and in courfe, a ftop put to the final liquidation of their bills. It is whifpered that certain papers, of the laft importance, have been found in the cabinet of a deceafed perfonage ; being a compleat key to many lecret tranl'aftions, during the laft ten years.

We are wall informed, that more bills have, within thefe fix months been pra- tefted, from our American colonies, than formerly in as many years.

Ihe noofe happening to flip, after Mr. Ogilvie was turned over, he fell down ; but, by the afliftance of the city fervants, he was immediately turned over again, though he made all poffible re- fiftance during this unhappy incident.

Nov. is. digefted and connefted as in real trade, and kept according to the moft approved prac- tice.

The author, by ha- ving frequent intercourfe with gentlemen in bufinefs, has ftudied to adapt all his rules to the p raft ice of merchants, as well for wholefale dealers, as to anfwer retailers; fo that, from the favourable reception this work has met with from the public, in coming fo foon to a fecond edition, he has the plea- fure to fee his labours have not been in vain. The Monthly Review for February 1765 gives the following character of this work. " Wc do not remember to have feen any ' work fo well calculated for qualifying young gentlemen for the counting- houfe, as that now heforc us. The author feems to have more comprehenfive views, more enlarged and liberal notions', than the generality of writers upon the fubjedt, as will apear to the intelligent reader, from a fliort view of his elfay on the education of a young gen- tleman intended for the counting- houfe, prefixed to the firft volume."
