VOL. XI. VI. MONDAY, October 5, 17 67. 2367 At length Envy and. Malice were banish'd, odd rot ' em, And our Throne was again fix'd on permanent bottom. What a pox then d'ye mean now by raising this clatter, And seeking our rule with foul mouth to bespatter? Ourselves will be Sovran alone in this city, Nor attend to the cry of a factious Committee. We'll allow no fresh tax ; what with concerts and news, Balls, benefits, gardens, pump, parson and pews, Subscriptions are grievous; no new imposition Shall be laid on my subjects while I'm in commission. We have friends to support us opposing your bad aims, Who all snap their fingers at Sp le, Pr---- e, and Ad— ms : We're a circle complete, you a pitiful segment; For C— md— n, here's N- rth- ngt- n ; Sp- nc- r for Egm- t; All the prime of three kingdoms range under my banner, From Simon Lord to Simon the Tanner. Then before from our rights half an atom we'll yield, Or quit to you rebels the well- foughten field, Yon fine Gothic church, which with wonder we survey, Shall first by mad schemers be turn'd topsy- turvy ; In it's room shall an Octagon Chauntry appear, To expose some poor empty, prim, pert pulpiteer. Then quit your vain projects, your Committee- dreaming, Nor fluff your wise noddles with politic scheming ; Dismiss here at once the pragmatical pother, We'll submit to the laws of King Nash, and no other: And I charge all my slaves, by the pains of high treason, Not to open their books ' till I open the season.

Sept. 29. SCARBOROUGH, M. [ Thus far London Gazette.] Yesterday an order was sent to the managers of both theatres to suspend acting ' till farther orders. This day came on at Guildhall the election of a Lord Mayor for the year ensuing ; when the Hon. Thomas Harley, Esq; and Sir Henry Banks, Knt. were returned to the Court of Aldermen, who chusing the former, he was declared duly elected ; whereupon Mr. Harley addressed the Livery in an elegant speech ; in which he thanked them for the honour they had conferred upon him by electing him into the high and important office of Chief Magistrate of this great city, and assured them that it should be his constant care strictly to discharge the duties of it, by a close attendance thereon, and an impartial administration of justice, and that he would exert the utmost of his abilities for the preservation of the peace and happiness of his fellow citizens; He then observed, that as he had the honour of being one of their Representatives in Parliament in this sessions, and had acted on upright and unbiassed princi- ples, and done every thing in his power for promoting the welfare and prosperity of the city, he flattered himself that his conduct had met with the approbation of his fellow citizens; and therefore begged leave to inform them, that at the next general election he should again offer himself to serve them in Parliament, and if he should have the happiness of being fa- voured with their choice of him, he would discharge the trust reposed in him with honour and integrity. At the conclufion of his speech the Livery expressed great approbation. After the business of the day was over, the Lord Mayor elect, Aldermen, Sec. were elegantly entertained at the Mansion- House by the pre- sent Lord Mayor. Last Sunday the Hon. Mr. Dillon, eldest son to Lord Dillon, renounced the errors of the Romish church in the parish church of St. Martin's in the Field. On Saturday the Purser of the Mercury sloop, in the service of the East- India Company, came to the India- house, with an account of the above vessel being safe arrived at Falmouth, from Bengal. She came from thence with an express last April, and brings an account that the Nottingham, Capt. How, from Bengal; and the Anson, Capt. Lenox, from Bombay, were both arrived at St. Helena, and were to sail from thence for England in two or three days after her ; so that they are hourly ex- pected. A few days since as Mr. Parry, surgeon and apothecary, was returning from visiting a pa- tient, he was found with his neck dislocated. as supposed by a fall from his horse. He was on the point of being married to a lady of for- tune in that neighbourhood. On Saturday last Mr. Eaton, architect in this city, by means of pullies, raised the gable end of Ely cathedral to an upright, tho' it projected upwards of two feet out of the perpendicular. Wedneday last the hop- market at Canterbury was opened for this season. The prices from 7I. 1 os. on to 9I. Few sold. At last Chester assizes a cause came on be- tween a young lady of Stockport in that county, and a gentleman near Preston, for refusing to marry the young lady agreeable to promise; when in the course of the trial it was proved, both by his own hand- writing, and some cre- dible witnesses, that he was guilty of a breach of promise with her, the court adjudged him to pay 500I. damages, and all costs of suit. Monday, at an adjournment of sessions, at Bristol, Sarah Lankford was tried for assaulting and imprisoning Jane Bryant in a box, wherein she was found naked in June last, reduced to a deplorable condition; and she was found guilty, and ordered to suffer twelve months imprison- ment, and to pay a fine of 13s. 4d. Mr. Page's resignation of the borough of Chichester, which he has represented in several Parliaments, winds up with the following hand- some conclusion : " How I have behaved on my part, and how well I have deserved these distinguished favours at the hands of my fellow citizens, I humbly submit, gentlemen, to your own impartial de- termination ; after having assured you, that I never sought a title, above that of your servant; nor preferred my own interest to yours, and that of the commonweal. I found you free, and masters of your own choice ; and so, for any act of mine, you remain. " If neither you nor the public have reaped any benefit from my long service, and faithful endeavour to promote the true interest of both, I have lived much of my time to little pur- pose; since my own family has not been gainers by them. " However I think not with regret on that circumstance, nor on some others which I pass over : but feel myself amply rewarded in the strong, repeated, and unquestionable marks of your good will, which I have experienced. " In this sentiment, gentlemen, I take my leave of you, as a public man ; but shall have the honour to remain, during the closing days of my life, in my private capacity, with all possible gratitude and respect, Gentlemen, and fellow citizens, Your most faithful, obliged, and Ever obedient humble servant, Sept. 26. _______ J. PAGE." Some time ago we laid before our readers the celebrated letter from Lady Jane Douglas to the late Mr. Pelham, which has appeared with such great and just applause ; we now give them Mr. Pelham's answer to her Ladyship, which does honour to the humanity and gene- rosity of that statesman. Letter from Mr. Pelham to Lady Jane Douglas. " MADAM, Aug 1750. " I have the pleasure now to acquaint you, that his Majesty has been graciously pleased to approve of the humble request which I laid be- fore him ; and to order me to pay you 300I. a year, as long as your Ladyship's situation shall make such an assistance from his Majesty's bounty necessary for your support. This method will, I flatter myself, be most agreeable to you, as the whole sum will come to you without fees or deductions: and no further trouble now re- mains to your Ladyship than to authorise your agent to receive it from my hands ; the first half- year of which I shall be ready to pay to your order at any time after next Michaelmas. Whatever share I may have had in procuring to your Ladyship this mark of the King's goodness, cannot but be very pleasing to me, as it fur- nishes me with an opportunity of testifying the great respect with which I have the honour to be, & c." ROWLEY'S BRITISH HERB SNUFF and TOBACCO from St. PAUL'S COFFEE- HOUSE, LONDON, ( the only genuine Sort) are still sold by Mr. THOMAS STOCK, Grocer, in GLOCESTER; Mr. WILLIAM HINTON, in CIRENCESTER; and Mrs. MARY COLE, in COWBRIDGE, Glamorganshire. THE Tobacco is not only superior in the Elegance of its Flavour; but is also far more efficacious in all Disorders of the Head and Eyes, in strengthening the1 Nerves and Stomach, and in healing and comforting the Breast and Lungs, than any Thing of the Kind ever yet dispensed. For besides the common Ingredients of Betony, Coltsfoot, Eye- bright, Lavender, Thyme, and Rose - mary, there are several other Medicinal Herbs, Woods, Barks, Gums, & c. all approved Medicines ; and are recommended both for their Effluvia and for internal Uses, by the most celebrated Authors and Physicians both ancient and modern. The Smoak of the Tobacco, and the essential Parts of the Snuff, yield a most fragrant and delicious Smell, being impregnated with the volatile and active Particles of the finest aromatic Ingredients ; whose subtle pervading Quality passes all Obstructions, mixes itself with the Juices, and co- operates with the animal Spirits. This, as it braces the Nerves, cheers the Heart, and gives an Air of Briskness to the whole Oeconomy, is the surest Antidote against Palsies, Apoplexies, Epilepsies, and many other Disorders arising from the Relaxation of the Nerves and the Viscidity of the Fluids, and even against the Decay of Sight. There are many Imitations of this Tobacco and Snuff, but the only genuine Sort is to be had as above : But be careful to observe that the Name of JAMES ROWLEY be signed on one Side of the Copper- Plate Print on every Packet, the Price of which is js. is. 6d. and is. 3d. as usual.

I am, GENTLEMEN, With the utmost Respect Your most obedient Servant, HARPTON, Sept. 15. JOHN LEWIS. The- ADDRESS made, by Mr. DERRICK, to the Committee of Inhabitants, & c. assembled in Mr. Wiltshire's Rooms in Bath, on Saturday Noon, Sept. 19, 1767. GENTLEMEN, ON what I have to say, I shall be very brief. I was chosen Master of the Ceremonies ( in which place and character I have now the honour to address you) in the midst of a most brilliant season some years ago, with the unanimous approbation of the company then here, under the protection of some of the most illustrious and able characters in these three kingdoms. By the means of low cun- ning, and ever waking fashood, I was, for a short time, ejected. The impartial public saw the injustice with which I was treated, and re- stored me with unanimity and eclat, which I shall always gratefully remember, and have zealously studied to deserve. My public conduct seemed to give general satisfaction : the amusements of this city were allowed to be as well conducted as they ever were: there were no clamours, no disputes of any kind, until a committee started up, and took upon themselves, last year, to reform every thing : they began with overturning the music. The cabals and dissentions THEY occasioned, you all remember; I was every day insulted and menaced with a deprivation of my place and property, while busy scandal, incapable of hurting my public, flew to my private cha- racter, which indeed was most miserably and wickedly mangled. This was undermining the very foundation of my being. The generous public saw my distress, and relieved me again, by a third time investing me with an absolute power over every amuse- ment in this city; and by their charge ( the charge of 300 people, with some very illustri- ous persons among them) I shall abide. I de- clare against all innovations, I will not agree to any new burthens that some people may think of laying on the public. My subsidy and support in office depends at present on voluntary donations, that will and must increase or decrease, according as I be- have to the public. I will never willingly, nor did I ever willingly, behave myself amiss ; when I do, let me be called to an account for it in a full season; at present there is no season. I will consent to no new rules. I shall deport myself with due respect to every body. I stand here a public officer, under the nomination of more than 3000 people, with the approbation of some of the greatest personages in the three kingdoms. I will abide by no authority, no direction, but those of the subscribers assembled in full season. I hope no person will deem me obstinate if I assure you, I will not give up an atom of my authority ; were I to do it, I should offend many of the noblest and ablest persons in Eu- rope ; to whose consent and approbation I owe my office. My duty, my inclination, prompt me to please; I wish I could please you all. You, gentlemen, that are masters of these rooms, I order you, as minister of the public, influenced by no private committee, to permit no books or subscriptions to be opened in these rooms, but what I lay down myself, I shall, on Tuesday next, as usual, open the books for the winter season, as Mr. Nash used to do, at two guineas each subscriber.

Great Encouragement will be given to a good Te- nant Enquire of Mr. Franklen, of Cowbridge, in Glamorganshire. ' The Cause and Manner of the extraordinary Dismission of Lord EDGCUMBE from the Post of Treasurer of his Majesty's Houshold. [ From the Political Register, No. V.] TO form a clear idea of the true causes or motives for this extraordinary dismission, it is necessary to take a short retrospect of the principle upon which Lord C m formed his administration. He determined to make himself the first and only man of importance in it, and therefore he collected a number of the most weak and needy men he could find to fill the offices of government, whose venality, or whose ignorance would make them perfectly obedient to his will. Men of ability, honour, and property, he took particular care to avoid ; he therefore quarrelled with his nearest rela- tions, his best friends, and all those who had talents to support his administration. With a vanity and presumption that was equally inso- lent and ridiculous, he deemed himself, alone, all- sufficient. With respect to this particular dismission, he had a mind to make a vain and wanton display of his power, and to exhibit a fresh mark of his proud, habitual insolence, in order to terrify the whole Court into an ab- solute and slavish submission to his will. So much for the motive.— The particulars of the dismission itself, which follow in the manner that they have been related within the circle of a few friends, are curious, new, and in- teresting. About the 20th of November, 1766, the Minister sent a note to Lord Edgcumbe, ac- quainting his Lordship, ' That a Great Per- sonage had determined upon making fome alterations in his servants; and that he [ the Minister] should be glad to see Lord Ldg- cumbe in Bond- Street, or would wait upon his Lordship in Upper Grosvenor- Street. Lord Edgcumbe directly waited upon the Mi- nister in Bond- Street. The Minister began with highly commending his Lordship's abilities, his virtues, his integrity, and recited the con- tents of his letter. Then, after many pauses and inarticulate sounds, he said, ' He was very sorry for it, was extremely concerned it should happen so— but — a— it was necessary— a—.' Here Lord Edgcumbe stopt him short, and bluntly demanded ' If his post was destined for another?' The Minister, alter a little pause, and uttering a few more broken sentences, ac- knowledged that it was, and that it had been so for some time. Lord Edgcumbe then pro- ceeced to remind him of the measures of the late opposition ; ' that he had, for four years, steadily and uniformly supported those mea- sures; measures which he [ the Minister] had approved and adopted ; and which were now happily effected : that he had never deserted any of the great questions upon the subjects of the liberties and interests of his country; and expressed his astonishment that this treat- ment should be the reward of a conduct that had manifeftly the approbation of and was agreeable to the spirit and principles of the Minister, while in opposition.' The force of these truths, and this conclu- sion, obviously made an impression upon the Minister; and he said, ' That however un- willing a Great Personage was to encrease the number of his Lords of the Bedchamber, yet he [ the Minister] would nevertheless venture to place his Lordship upon that list." Lord Edgcumbe immediately made answer, That however willing he really was to hold some place, in order that he might continue in office with his friends, and support the measures of government, yet, after this , usage, he would not take any place, nor resign that which he held to any but the Great Personage himself.' And added, ' that it was extremely impolitic thus to turn out persons of rank ; persons of great parliu- mentary interest.' The Minister burst out, ' Oh!' said he, ' if that be the case, let me feel myself! I despise your parliamentary in- terest ! I do not want your assistance !' And added, ' That he trusted to the uprightness of his measures, for the support and confidence of the King, and the favour and attachment of the people; and acting upon these prin- ciples,' said he, ' I dare look in the face the proudest connections of this country ! ' They parted. Two days after, Lord Edgcumbe received a note signifying a Great Person's desire of his staff. On Monday the 24th of November 1766, he waited on the Great Person, who said, That he was very sorry to part with his Lord- ship, of whose services he had a very high opinion, as well as of his Lordship's abili- ties, and attachment to his person, and espe- cially because his Lordship had no mixture of factious principles in his disposition. But, says he, ' My Ministers tell me it must be so;' and added, ' That the idea of the Bedchamber was purely his own.' ' Lord Edgcumbe returned the Great Person his sin- cere and most humble thanks for the good opinion he was pleased to entertain of him ; and expressed the great obligation he was. under for it, and the more so, added he, for not pressing the Bedchamber upon me ; all which more than pay me for the ill usage of your Ministers.' The staff was given up, and Mr. Shelley appointed Treasurer of the Household. Next day the Earl of Bessborough, who was one of the Joint Postmafters, offered to make room for Lord Edgecumbe, by resigning that post in favour of his Lordship, and taking the Bedchamber, which had been offered to that Lord. But this obliging offer was re- jected. Upon which the Duke of Portland, the Earls of Bessborough and Scarborough, and Lord Monson, resigned the next day, which was Wednesday November the 26th, 1766. And these resignations were immediately fol- lowed by those of Sir Charles Saunders, Sir William Meredith, Admiral Keppel, & c. * Words which he afterwards repeated in another place. LONDON, October 2. Some letters from Rome mention, that the Pope has lately had the misfortune to lose the finest set of medals in Europe : they had been collecting many ages, and were deposited in his chamber for their security ; but it seems some person of taste found means to remove them. It is added, that his Holiness has offered his plenary absolution and a reward to the Vir- tuoso who stole them, in case he will bring them back. On the day the dividend on Bank stock was agreed by the Proprietors to be raised, a gen- tleman immediately set out for Holland, and, before the news reached that kingdom, pur- chased 100. OOOI. of that stock, by which he, the next day, obtained near 12,0001. profit. Extract of a Letter from Exeter, Sept. 27. " The great west window of the cathedral church of this city is now completed in painted glass, by that ingenious artist Mr. Wm. Peckitt, of York ; and is a pleasing specimen of the perfection to which Mr. Peckitt has brought the art of staining glass." The Birmingham Gazette of Sept. 28, says, " We can assure the public, with great plea- sure, that Lord Clive is perfectly recovered of his late indispostitiOn: his Lordship, who has been at Dr. Ash's since Wednesday last, will, we hear, set out this day on his return to his seat at Walcot, in Shropshire. And his L0rd- ship's father and brother, who set out for Lon- don last Monday, returned here last night." At the anniversary meeting of the College of Physicians, held on Wednesday, Sir William Browne resigned the chair, : and proposed Dr. Thomas Lawrence to be President for the year ensuing, who was accordingly elected; as were also Dr. Askew, Dr. Munckley, Dr. Thomas.

I am, with the greateft Esteem, GENTLEMEN, Your most obliged And faithful humble Servant, PRESTEIGN, Sept. 30. HO. GWYNNE. To the Gentlemen, Clergy, and Freeholders of the County of GLAMORGAN. GENTLEMEN, THAT generous and uninfluenced Support, which at the late general Meeting manifested itself so greatly in my Favour, by a Superiority confessed in the Actions of my Opponents, though palliated in their Expressions, demands from me my warmest acknow- ledgments : The like respectable Appearance on a late public Occasion , and the vigorous Diffusion of so spi- rited a Conduct through the whole County ( so amply experienced by my Son on his late Canvass, which you were so indulgent to me as to permit) give me the fairest Assurances that the same laudable Spirit of Freedom, which hath so often marked out and distin- guished the County of Glamorgan in its Choice of Re- presentatives, will on this Occasion also secure to me the Continuance of so honourable an Influence ; and though my late Illness hath given me the sensible Mor- tification of being prevented from paying you my per- sonal Respects, yet the very Occasion hath, from the Activity of my Friends, happily brought forth a more powerful Assistance than my own Assiduity could have flattered me with, and hath added that essential Mark of their Favour, which neither Time nor Ill- ness can eradicate out of the Heart of one who hopes his past and future Conduct will speak his fixed Atten- tion to the welfare and Interest of his Constituents, and of his being at all Times, GENTLEMEN, Your faithful and much honoured Friend, Countryman, and Servant, EDMOND THOMAS. WENVOE CASTLE, September 16. To the Gentlemen, Clergy, and Freeholders, of the County of Glamorgan. GENTLEMEN, IShould but ill deserve the many repeated and essen- tial Favours I have received from my Friends, if I omitted any Opportunity of returning my warmest Acknowledgments. The very great Success I met with on my Canvass has been amply confirmed to me on all Occasions, and every fresh Encouragement de- mands my sincerest Thanks. The Spirit of Freedom and Independency has been, and ever shall be, the Characteristic of my Conduct, which, I flatter myself, will entitle me to the continuance of your Interest and Support at the next Election. I am, GENTLEMEN, With the most unfeigned Respect, Your most obliged, and Faithful Servant, GEORGE VENABLES VERNON. BRITONFERRY, Sept. 24. The PRIORY near Hereford, Sept. 5. MESS.

ON the 28th ult. arrived at Cadiz the Dragon from Vera Cruz and the Havannah, with the Marquis de Cruillas on board, late Viceroy of Mexico. She has brought home 4,616,000 piastres, besides a great quantity of cochineal, indigo, and other merchandizes. When she sailed from the Havannah, she had five vessels under convoy, but only one of them, the Aurora, is yet arrived. and Dr. Brooke, Censors; Dr. Hinckley, Trea- surer ; and Dr. Askew, Register. The differences between the pupils of Galen and Hippocrates are not yet subsided. The Fellows had a meeting at the College in War- wick- Lane on Wednesday, the gates of which have been lengthened by a stout chain a- cross, and an iron prop to support them : a number of constables were also drawn up in the yard. Between four and five in the afternoon the Li- centiates came in procession in hackney- coaches, and demanded admittance, which was not com- plied with. Upon various consultations among themselves, it was then thought proper to make an orderly retreat. Some people imagine that a masked battery, under the form of an engine for extinguishing fires, proved a great damper on this occasion. —' Tis said for truth, that a smith was offered ten guineas, and an indem- nification of 3000I. to force the gates, which he refused. Thursday an apprentice to an Apothecary in the Borough crossing Clapham Common, was attacked By a highwayman, who demand- ed his money. Sir, ( replied the lad) I have not money, but if you'll please to accept of a Draught or two, ( producing a basket of medicines at the same time) ' you are wel- come.' The highwayman then rode off laughing at his witty reply. Among the many schemes proposed for ef- fecting an union of the east and west seas by a navigable canal, there has been another for the same purpose formed, the ground surveyed, estimates of the expence and of the advantages, & c. made, and a plan nearly perfected, which is by a canal from York to Preston. We hear that a certain noble Lord, of Nor- folk, intends very soon to exhibit on New- maket Heath, in a chaise of most delicate structure, drawn by a brace of deer that are now in training. The vehicle holds himself only, and weighs one hundred weight: the deer are already very tractable, and easy in their harness. ' Tis expected his Lordship's example will strongly recommend this swift and Laplandic method of conveyance, and that this refinement of the antient Olympic games will rouse a spirited emulation among the brisk members of the turf. Hence the breed of deer will become more choice and valuable, and the progeny of Childers and the Godolphin ob- jects of less interesting attention. Two notorious informers have lately been travelling round the counties of Cambridge and Lincoln, informing against several inn- keepers for not having the word Wine put over their doors : the penalty of which, according to act of Parliament, is 30s. Among other places they went to Wisbich, where they in- formed against several persons; but were met on the bridge by the populace, who obliged them to refund the money they acquired by this reputable traffick, and afterwards ducked them in the river. On Monday last two persons were convicted before Major John Spinnage, at his office in Argyle Buildings, in the penalty of 5I. for wearing Chintz gowns, otherwise legally term- ed a printed, painted, stained or dyed Callico, and paid the penalty; and on Tuesday a man was convicted before the said Magiftrate, for wearing a waistcoat with buttons covered with the same stuff as the waistcoat was made of, contrary to the statute of the 7th of Geo. I. and was fined 20s. for six buttons, which he paid accordingly. Last week a person was convicted at the sitting of justices at Exeter, for having in his possession a quantity of partridges and hares, and was fined 2581.

AGeneral Meeting of the Trustees ap- pointed to put in Execution an Act of Parliament made in the Twenty- fourth Year of the Reign of his late Majesty King George the Second, for repairing the Road from the Top of Crickley- Hill, in the County of Glocester, to Campsfield, in the County of Oxford ; and also the Road from Witney through Ensham, Cum- nor, and Botley, to the City of Oxford ; will be held on Tuesday the 13th of October Inst. at Ten o'Clock in the Forenoon, it the House of Thomas Clare, called the George- Inn in Burford, in the County of Oxford, to take into Consideration, and to answer, the several Reso- lutions of the Botley Causeway Trustees, touching an Application intended to be made by them to Parliament, for an Act to unite the said Road leading from Witney through Ensham, Cumner, and Botley, to the City of Oxford, with the Botley Causeway Trust, and the Bot- ley Causeway Trustees taking upon themselves the Re- pairs of the said Road, and the Payment of the Debt now due thereon ; and also to take into Consideration the erecting of one or more Crane or Cranes, Machine or Machines, Engine or Engines, for the Weighing of Carts, Waggons, or other Carriages, on some Part or parts of the said Road leading from the Top of Crickley- Hill to Campsfield aforesaid; and to do and tranfact such other Business as relates to and concerns all the said Roads in general. JAMES GRAY, WM. STEPHENS, Clerk to the Trustees of those Clerk to the Trustees of the Parts of the said Roads Glocestershire District. which lie in tbe Counties of Oxford andBerks. fully, the Duke was better in the morning, and therefore set forward for Monaco, the Prince of which ( who was personally acquaint- ed with his Royal Highness in his former tour to Italy) was waiting there, in expectation of the honour of a visit from him, and the Duke was rather inclined to hasten his journey thither, as in that Prince's palace he might naturally look for an assistance and accommo- dation superior to what he could reasonably hope to meet with in common places. The weather happened to be uncommonly hot, which not a little incommoded his Royal Highness : he nevertheless arrived at Monaco in good spirits, but yet feverish, and with an head- ach, the latter of which he imputed prin- cipally to the intense heat of the sun that whole day. The next day the Duke was worse, and took to his bed entirely. In hopes of a reco- very, and unwilling unnecessarily to alarm his King, his Royal parent, and relations, the Duke enjoined his attendants, 0n no account, to write concerning his illness to England. All possible advice and assistance was given, but to no purpose; the fever was unconquerable! His Royal Highness now saw the danger of his situation ; and he saw it with a fortitude and resignation rarely to be met with, where bloom of youth and dignity of station are united ! Convinced, that without some unexpected turn in his distemper he must die, his Royal High- ness, with the utmost calmness and composure of mind, adjusted every slep consequent of the fatal event himself. His Royal Highness or- dered that Capt. Wrottesly should bring the news to England, and in what method it should be disclosed. The Captain was first to wait on Mr. Le Grand, of Spring- Gardens, and with him to go to Leicester- House, and then to Glocester- House, and having commu- nicated the event to the Dukes his brothers, to proceed to their Majesties, submitting it to the king and Queen in what manner, and by whom, it should be imparted to his Royal parent.— After his Royal Highness had settled this ar- rangement, he seemed remarkably easy. He declared himself perfectly resigned to the Di- vine will; and he spoke of his dissolution with all the piety and resolution of a Christian and a man ; acting up to those exalted characters to his latest breath. His Royal Highness was sensible to his last moment; and the very morn- ing of his death dictated a letter to their Ma- jesties, his illustrious Parent, and the Royal Family; desiring the writer to expedite it, as he had but a few minutes to spare, and those he wished to employ in still more momentous concerns. We hear that her Royal Highness the Prin- cess Amelia is so much indisposed on account of the death of her nephew the Duke of York, that she is attended by two physicians. We are told the following is an authentic pa- ragraph extracted from a letter written by Col. St. John ( dated at Monaco the 27th ult.) to his Royal Highness the Duke of Glocester.— " The inclosed letter is of your Royal brother's inditing; and which he affectingly desired me to go on with as fast as I was able, lest his sen- ses should fail him before I got to the end." Extract of a letter from Southampton, Sept. 30. ' Last night the melancholy news of his Royal Highness the Duke of York's death was received with the utmost concern : the ball which was very brilliant, broke up immediate- ly ; the company retiring from the rooms; and by the general voice, all public amusements have been suspended in respect to the memory of a person who has honoured this place with so many marks of his patronage and favour." The Duke of Cumberland is to have the blue ribband vacant by the death of his brother. Considerable wagers are now depending in the city, that there will be more Scotch Mem- bers to represent the counties, cities, or boroughs in England, in the next Parliament, than has been known since the Union. Besides the strong contest for members for the county of Cumberland, the present contest for the city of Carlisle is the greatest almost ever known ; every public- house in the city having been for some time past open, either in behalf of the famous Governor Johnstone and the brave Capt. Elliot, supported by the Bute and Lowther interests; and Lord Edward Bentnick and Sir George Musgrave, supported by the Portland and Devonshire interests. In the New- York Gazette of August 10, we find the following article. " Last Wednesday Capt. Lash, in a sloop arrived here in 14 days from St. Thomas, by whom we have positive advice, that the islands St. Thomas and St. John, had been declared free ports by his danish Ma jesty, open to all vessels and commodities, of what nation or kind soever, without any restric tions or reservations, save the common fees and duties heretofore usual in those ports."

Stockholm, Sept. 15. Last Friday a law was published here, declaring, that in consequence of the measures taken by the states and their secret committee in the last Diet, the course of exchange should be fixed, for the year 1768, at 42 marks copper for a rix dollar, hamburgh banco, and proportionably for all other money ; forbidding any person to bargain for bills at a higher price after the 1st of January next, under the penalties prescribed by the law which fixed the exchange in 1766. Thus far Lond. Gaz. LONDON, Ocober 5. In this night's Gazette is a proclamation for proroguing the Parliament from the 7th day of October ' till Tuesday the 24th of November next, then to be held for the dispatch of divers weighty and important affairs. A gentleman of consequence has, very obligingly, favoured us with the following par- ticulars relative to the death of his Royal High- ness the Duke of York. His Royal Highness had danced rather over- much at the Chatteau of a person of fashion, and this had not only fatigued him, but occasioned a very strong perspiration. As soon as the ball was finished, the Prince gave orders for his carriages to be got ready immediately, to set off for Toulon, from whence he was distant some three or four leagues. The gentlemen of the train ( Colo- nels Morrison and St. John, and Capt. Wrot- tesley) earnestly represented to his Royal High- ness the necessity of slaying where he was ' till he was cool and had shifted himself; the Prince declared there was no actual occasion for such caution, that he would wrap himself up in his cloak, and that would be Sufficient: he did so, and stepped into his carriage. This was on the 29th of August. The next day his Royal Highness complained of a slight chil- ness or shivering, but went at night to the co- medy, and before it was over his Royal High- ness found himself infinitely worse, and was obliged to withdraw. He was feverish, thirsty, and complained of immoderate heat all over his body. By proper care, and drinking plenti- GLOCESTER, October 5. Extract of a Letter from Carmarthen, Oil. I. " On Tuesday last Mr. Higgins received a letter from a Member of a certain august assem- bly, acquainting him, that by the interest of a great Duke, a reprieve was obtained for him. The same gentleman also wrote to the High- Sheriff of this county, desiring that Mr. Higgins might have every possible indulgence, that a man in his situation could be allowed." The harvest is now completely ended in this country, and a more plentiful one has not been known in any former year. But grain keeps up to an exorbitant price.— The farmers indeed have not yet had time to thresh out for the markets, and they tell us we must expect but- little fall ' till after feed- time. We are assured that they demand 26s. and 30s. per quarter for old oats near Sodbury. Last week, W. Moore, Esq; a Justice of Peace, at Bourton- on- the- Water in this county, took an information against some persons for using a measure larger than that by law established, and the penalties thereby incurred were duly paid. Informations are also given against several others in the borough of Tewkesbury, for the like offence, where we are assured the Magis- trates intend to enforce the use of the Win- chester bushel with proper spirit. On Friday last was married at Hereford Francis Garbut, Esq; of Birmingham, to Miss Walsam, an accomplished young lady, with a fortune of 19,0001. A few days ago died, after a short illness, at the seat of Cocks, Esq; at Stone- Easton, Dr. Brent, an eminent Physician of Bath. Last week died at Bristol, Mr. John Williams, son of Mr. Williams, of the Day- House, near Chepstow. On Wednesday last the lady of John Wogan, Esq; of Wifton, in Pembrokeshire, was de- livered of a daughter in this city. *„* The new Warrants for appointing Surveyors of the High- ways may be had at the Printing- Office; of C.
