LL the Letters from Trieste fpeak of the arrival of a vessel in that port on the 30th of March, . with the intelligence that the Grand _ - Sultan- died at Constanti- nople on the 16 th of March. Hamburgh, April 15. We have accounts from Co- penhagen, that an En- glish frigate, with three cutters and a sloop of the fame nation, have come' to anchor off Skagen, destined for the Baltic. This little division of light vessels is looked upon as the forerunner of the grand fleet under Lord Hood, whose paffage will he facilitated by the above fhips reconnoitring the waters and founding the diffe- rent roads. Constantinople, March 6. We are very anxious here to see the issue of the projects of England, who, in return for the fervices which fhe has rendered to oar Court, is endeavouring to obtain, among other things, the free navigation of the Black and Red Seas. By the navigation. of the Red Sea, Great Bri- tain defigns to trade from the Indies by the Streights of Suez, by tranfporting its merchandizes . from thence by land as far as the port of Alexandria, from whence they will be. forwarded to Europe in their ships. By thefe means England can not only give a greater fcope to her establishments at Candahar and Raffora, but also extend her commerce throughout Persia, as far as the Black Sea, her intention being, to establish factories on the Coasts of Asia. However, this project affords great uneasiness to our principal commercial houses, as it would give a very bad turn both to our trade, and to that, which other nations have hitherto carried on to the ladies. The English would then be able to make discoveries in the interior, parts of Africa also, and to. profit from the advan- tages resulting from them. Paris, April 24. On Thursday Evening M. de la Fayette, shocked at not having been able to main- tain Discipline among the National Guards when his Majesty proposed to depart for St. Cloud, sent in his Resignation, accompanied also with'those of the other Staff Officers. . L ; As soon as the resignation. of M. de la Fayette was announced,,- the several battalions of the Na- tional Guard assembled, under arms, to consider what was proper to be done- Forty- two .. of them fent deputations to request that he would resume the command. The Municipality, with M. Bailly at their head, joined their felicitations to thofe cf the National Guards. He appeared to be much affected, and promised to give a final anfwer in the Council General of the Community. On Friday evening, at nine o'clock, he repaired to the Coun- cil; but just as he began to speak,' he'was taken ill, fainted, and was recovered with so much difficulty, that the Council broke up/ without his'^ enig able to deliver his ultimaterefoluilon. . .'.. , . .

RESolVED, That the Thanks of this Committee be respectfully given to the illustrious Minority of the House of Commons, who lately stood forth the Assertors of British Justice and Humanity, and the Enemies of a Traffic in the Blood of Men. RESOLVED, That our acknowledgments are particularly due to William Wilberforce, Esq; for his unwearied ex- ertions to remove this opprobrium of our national . character, and to the Right Honourable William Pitt, aud the Right Honourable Charles James Fox, for their virtuous and dignified co- operation in the same caure. RESOLVED, That the solemn declarations of these Gentlemen, and of Matthew Montagu and William Smith, Esquires, that they will not relinquish but with life their struggle for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, are not only highly honourable to them- selves as Britons, as Statesmen, and as Christians, but must eventually, as the light of Evidence shall be more and more diffused, be seconded by the good wishes of every man not immediately inte- rested in the continuance oi that detestable com- merce. RESOLVED, That anticipating the opposition we should have to sustain from persons trained to a familiarity with the rapine and desolation necessarily attendant on the Slave- Trade, and sensible also of the prejudices which implicitly arise from long established usages, this Committee consider the late decision in the House of Commons as a delay rather than a defeat. In addressing a free and enlightened Nation on a subject in which its Justice, Humanity, and its Wisdom are involved, we cannot despair of final success ; and we do hereby, under an increasing conviction of the excellence of our cause, and in conformity to the distinguished examples before us renew our firm protestation, that we will never desist from appealing to the consciences of our countrymen till the commercial intercourse with T « to be polluted with the blood ° f By Order of the CoMMITTE.

We are likewise told that the Captain of the cor- vette refused to be released, and that, notice has been sent to the National Assembly, There has been a violent revolution at Chandera- gore, one of the French settements in the East- Indies, in which the Commandant has been driven from the place, and since made a prisoner by the in- habitants. The last and best intelligence from India gives us reason to hope that Lord Cornwallis journey to the Coast will be productive of the most happy effects; It is confidently stated, that Tippoo has made overtures of peace, and to pay. the expences of the war. Lord Cornwallis's demand was seven crores of rupees, or 7, ooo, oool. sterling, which is about the expence ' which has been already incurred in the war. Be this as it may, the presence of the Governor General near the scene of action is. on every account pro- per. Spain is busy in augmenting her naval power; the fleet at Cadiz, under the command of Admiral Boira, is ready for sea, and when joined by that at Algesiras and Ferrol, will consist of about twenty- four sail of the line If the present rupture with Russia should end ami- cably and soon, the session of Parliament will pro- bably not continue more than a week, Or two, after the Birth- day. The Canada Reform bill, the busi- ness of the Unclaimed . Dividends, and that of Mr. Dundas's Budget, are the principal objects remain- ing for the attention of Parliament. It is remarkable, that England was the first mari- time- European power, with whom the Russians ( formerly the Muscovites) entered into a commer- cial treaty. About two hundred and fifty years since, some vessels, sent on, voyage of discovery, passed the North Cape, and arrived at Archangel, then belonging to the territories of the Grand Dukes or Czars of Muscovy, when intelligence being sent to Moscow, then the capital, a Treaty, of Commerce was almost immediately agreed to between them. Several other treaties to the same purpose have been since formed, and till the present time a constant amity and friendly intercourse has been kept up, unless we may except the period of the armed neu- trality, in which measure the Court of Petersburgh was joined by those of Stockholm, Berlin, and Co- Sir Harry Featherstonechaugh has got a new travel- For particulars apply to Mr. Lee, Attorney, in.

The baking and brewing, are short ened, and the shipwrights are taken off a tide a day; the manning goes on extremely slow, and the officers provide for nothing but- dismantling, Friday the funds got up above one half percent, though the Dutch mail brought intelligence which looked more hostile than pacific;. The various accounts, from India, saving that published from authority, seem to be full of suspic- ous circumstances; no news therefore can be relied on till the arrival of the Rodney, which left Madras above four months ago, and is daily expected. From the dispatches of the Rodney we may expect the arrival of Lord Cornwallis in Madras, with his determinations, whether to bring about a peace with Tippoo, or take the field against him in person. The expence of the India war is rated at thirty lacs of rupees per month, which is three hundred and sixty thousand pounds sterling. ' A report was 0n Friday current, that some British sloops of war fired ball at a French Corvette in Ben- gal river in October last, and with armed boats, forced some prisoners away who were bound to the ding carriage, which is to preclude the necessity of stopping at inns.

In Lower Sloane- street, Chelsea; a few days ago, was witnessed a most afflicting sight :- -- An elderly lady reduced in her circumstances, lived on a small annuity As she was dying, she told an only child, a daughter, about sixteen years old, that if she ex- pired a few days before the quarter was run out, it would be prudent to conceal her death, otherwise the money would not be paid and her body be unburied. One morning as the woman of the house passed by the chamber, door, where this wretched mother anf child lodged, and smelling a horrid stench, she looked in, and discovered the dead body, and that it had been in a putrid state above a week, although the forlorn young creature had slept in the bed with it every night! The poor girl was taken up - and carried before a Magistrate, under suspicions of poisoning her, when the whole truth came out. Every heart that heard the story was moved with commisseration for the wrechedness of the girl, who could adhere to parental command, though attended with such horror in the compliance. A whimsical occurrence took place on Thursday — - as- Mr- L-—--, a respectable attorney of Lyon's Inn, was going into the city on business, he was ac- costed in Fleet- street, by a person apparently from the country, who addressing him by name, told him he was going to his. chambers to consult with him about commencing, an action to recover a conside- rable sum of money of a person in Hertfordshire. Mr. L. informed the stranger, that be should be at home in the course of two hours, and would be happy to see him the stranger begged they might go to some neighbouring house, and he would state the case in ten minutes, he being obliged to leave town in an hour. Mr. L. consented, and they adjourned to a public- house adjacent, and were immediately ushered into a back parlour, in which two persons were playing at cards. After relating a very clear story af the injury he had sustained, the stranger re- marked to Mr. L. that one of the gamesters appeared to be a very foolish fellow, and lost his money freely, and proposed for Mr. L, and himself to take a hand, and share with the successful winner : this gave Mr, L. the first hint that his companion was a cheat, and the confederate of the Other Men ; he resolved, how- ever, to humour their intention, in order to see what length they would proceed--- he accordingly con- sented, and a game at whist for five guineas a corner was agreed upon;-- Mr. L. directly laid the sum agreed upon on the table, which his worthy client in- stantly seized, and ran out of the house followed by the others..; Mr. L, fortunately laid hold of the lat- ter one in the passage, and called for assistance; this alarmed the swindler, who put his hand into his pocket, and thrusting the contents into that of Mr. L. escaped. found he wasa gainer by the adventure, having got seven guineas instead of the five carried off by his hopeful partner. _ A correspondent remarks, that many are the ac- cidents attending arsenic or mercury, from its re- semblance to sugar ; but would the druggist only co- lour it, no one could easily poison another, as in meat or drink the colour would detect it ; not to say, if it came in the way of children, they from its ap- pearance must be supposed to avoid it. It is the prac- tice, he says, of some of the trade to colour it dark, and wishes it was general, as the trouble is but tri- fling, and in medicine, it would answer equally as well. An Insurance Office- keeper, near Clerkenwell, at the clos'e of the lottery, in the profusion of thanks to his customers, observed, that to accommodate them, next year, he should still keep to his old shop, between the- Pawnbroker's and. the Workhouse!

And it is pected that Mr. Dillon, whose- Claim to the title of Earl of Roscommon is now before the House, will be equally successful. The Irish Fishery is improving, and promises to become an object of great national advantage. The rode of curing the roe of the cod, as practiced in Spain, has been adopted with much success.

The letter from the French King to his Ambassa- ors at Foreign Courts is written with a frankness, nobleness, and an energy, that does credit to the sincerity. of the Monarch. His Majesty declares that he will cherish, love, and defend the Constitution; he recognizes the sovereignty of the people; he ac- nowledges that he derives his powers from them; he thinks it honourable to be the first Magistrate in the State; in fine, he speaks like the King of a free People. The President of the National Assembly was fre- quently interrupted while reading this Letter, by repeated acclamations of Vive le Roi ! which resound- ed from the patriotic side of the Hall, while the Aristocratical party, overwhelmed with shame and confusion, remained in silence. It has been rumoured, that the following Gentle- men will be created Peers shortly after the present recess; Lord George Lenox, Sir William Lowther, Dr. Drake, Mr. Rolle, and Mr. Morton Pitt.

When Lord Lovat was about to be taken from the bar, after his condemnation, the old Lord High Steward, who was just married, asked his Lordship, " If he had any thing further to say?" " No, my Lord, ( answered. Lord Lovat), Nothing, except to wish you joy of your young wife!.— I am going to a place of rest.' ' A person at Whitehaven has returned to his house, which he left on the ground's giving way, with only reason to complain, that he is about three feet lower in the world than before. A fine spring of water is inclosed in his kitchen, and the walls that were cracked before in many places are perfectly closed, except in one place, where, in their Attempt at a re- union they have inclosed a bundle of sticks, which were before in an upper appartment. MASSACRE AT AVIgNOn. following particulars of this infernal Butchery were received in a Lettter from Avignon, dated April 19. Vaison is a small city in the Comte Venaissin, and about thirty miles distant from Avignon, the capi - tal. The National Assembly have been three or four months deliberating about incorporating this terri- tory into their kingdom ; a fatal decision, which is expected to have an end this week. A troop of assassins from Malaucenne, Sablet, and Seguret, headed by Messrs. de St. Croix, d'Hugues Colonel of the National Guard of Malaucenne, and Count Robins, presented themselves at Vaison, on the night of the 16th of this month, with an inten- tion of putting to death the principal inhabitants.. The sentinel at the gate of the town was previously gained- They, immediately surprised the Corps de Garde, both at the gate and at the Hotel- de- Ville. They then first assaulted the house of the Mayor, a Mons Lavillasse, who defended himself a conside- able time, his people calling out from the window; with a speaking trumpet upon the Patriots his neigh ' alas! where included in thi6 horrid and* were themfelves beljeged. in taeitf hours, who proscription, houses , The unfortunate Lavillasse at length fell into the hands of these assassins, who cut his limbs in pieces, and hung his entrails at the gates of the city. His wife, big with child, was shot through the breast. They then assaulted the Major of the National Mili- tia, who made a vigorous resistance. He had five fusils in his house which he discharged with such rapidity, as to. keep off his assailants till he had an opportunity of leaping through a back window; and escaping out of the Tower, by favour of the night. As soon as morning, appeared, the Bishop of Vaison ( we hope this part of the relation is exaggerated) came into the midst of these fanatics, with a Cruci- fix in his hand, leading them on to murder. The Patriots, as they were called, were pursued in all quarters, and a great number of them slaughtered, and their cannibal enemies danced round their pal- pitating bodies. They led the Abbe Thalet, the Cure of Vaison, up to the remains of his friend, , whose limbs were cut in pieces. Voila ton ami ( said they), tu vas le suivre aux enfers. They then pre- pared to shoot him; but by a refinement of cruelty, they bethought themselves of leading him to the banks of the river Aigues; they there murdered him with their bayonets, mutilated him, and threw his scattered limbs into the stream. After these atrocities, the bells of the cathedral were rung, to celebrate their success and victory over the enemies of religion. The murderers assisted at the re- installation of the Chapter, which had been suppressed, conformably to the decrees of the National Assembly, and Te Deum was sung; the Bishop presiding in this impious profanation of reli- gion. While I am writing, the same blow that has re- plunged the city of Vaison into the ancient system. u said to be taking place at Malaucenne, its neigh- bour, from whence the party called the patriots is fled. The federation of Saint Cecile, composed of the remains of the late Assembly of Carpentras, which gave rise to so many criminal attempts, are now put- ting numerous troops on foot, with the intention of defending themselves against Government. It is a new Camp de Iales; five thousand men are said to be already enlistcd. Carpentras is also fortified. Extract of a Letter from Warsaw, April 13.

EIGN AFFAIRS. Berlin, April 14 THE peace between the ' Porte and Russia seems to advance; at least powers have thought fit to interfere in the matter, and| not leave the Settlement of it entirely to the original mediators. The influence of Denmark and Spain seems to be efficacious; Russia, by calling in those two Powers, will be able ( with- out letting herself down) to temper the haughtiness of her original terms, and come more into the views of the other Powers of Europe, who, on, their parts, may a little relax from their former conditions. It is said that the last Declartion of the Court of London to that of Petersburgh was very strongly worded, and contained in substance, that ' if the Status quo was not accepted as the basis of a peace with the Turks, it would be looked upon as a de- claration of war; and that if once the fleets sailed, and the armies marched, peace would not be con- cluded but upon condition of payment for all the' expences of fitting out the same. LONDON, TuesdAY, May 3. The political aspect of affairs seems again to be changed. Whether it be that the Empress of Russia will not make peace but on her own terms, or that the two mediating powers have gone too far to re- cede with honour, matters now bear somewhat of a hostile appearance. Ships of war are getting toge- ther in the Downs, with an intent, as it should seem, to form a fleet there for the North Seas. Lord Hood's bedding, and other baggage is gone for Portsmouth, and warrants are issued to the She- riffs of the different counties for impressing seamen, wherever they can be found, in their respective dis- These proceedings seem to indicate. some The election of a Member of Parliament for Lug- gershall ended on Thursday, after a three days poll, when the numbers were, for Samuel Smith, Esq;. 88, Mr Alderman Newnham, 51; whereupon the for- mer was declared duly elected. This morning;: was married at St. Swithen's Church, Mr John Tart, of Stoddeston, Shropshire, to Mrs. Pardoe of this city. : A few days since was married in London, Mr. Minshall, shoemaker, to Miss Lloyd, both of this city. Monday se'nnight was married at Stratford- upon- Avon, in Warwickshire, Mr. Thomas Smith, At- torney at. Law, of that town, to Miss Dorothy Par- sons,( of the same place, Friday evening last, about half past seven o'clock, Mr. Knowles, an elderly man belonging to the Hos pital in Fryars- street, in this city, as he was eating at the City- Arms, suddenly dropped down, and expired immediately. A few days since, a man in endeavouring to take a Rook's Nest, at Eye, near Leominster, fell from a. lofty tree, and was killed on the spot. . On the 20th of April died at her house at Evesham, in this . county, Mrs. Ann Courand, relict of John Couraud, Esq; of Downing- street, London, who for several years served as Under- secretary - of State, joint Decypherer, Latin Secretary, Keeper of the Records, & c. & c. and in the years 1740 and 1741, as Secretary to the Regency of the kingdom-- Her re- mains were interred on the 26th in the family vault at Southampton. - Sunday se'nnight died at his seat at Penpark, In Gloucesterlhire, Harmer, Esq; ,..,.- Wednesday last died, Mr. Aaron Daffey, of Col- wall, Herefordshire, an eminent grazier. . Shirehampton, the Rev. Walter Chapman, D. D. senior Prebendary of Bristol Cathedral. Monday what of a serious design to assist the Turk; who is also making such preparations on his part as become the Sovereign of a mighty and spirited empire. Yesterday at noon a full Board of Admiralty was held at the Office, Charing- Cross, which sat three hours; at the breaking up of which, press- warrants were issued and sent off express to the Sheriffs of the different counties in England and Scotland. Prussia at length seems desirous of entering into a war with Russia. They are now transporting the heavy artillery from Magdebourg into Pomerania; the army in that Province has been lately augmented by six battalions, and the royal suite were to depart on the 20th of last month for Konigsberg. The King himself is to set out for the army in two days after, accompanied by the reigning Duke of Brunswick and Gen. Mollendorf. Jussuf Pacha, the new Grand Visir, is making im mense preparations in Bulgaria and Romelia. At Adrianople and Schiumla, magazines are also form- ing for the maintenance of an army of 200,000 men; which it is said will be commanded by the Sultan in person. A separate corps of 30,000 men is to cover Warna, as that fortress will probably be attacked by the Russian sqaudron, which is expected to sail imme- diately. It is also asserted, that the Sublime Porte, is so far from consenting to the Status quo, that it will attempt to re- conquer the Crimea. For three months past, the inhabitants have not had a drop of rain in Seville, Cordova, Castile, Mur- cia, or Valencia, so that they neither expect corn nor wine at the ensuing harvest. To add to this calamity, their sheep have been so affected with the rot, that their fleeces are entirely spoiled. Such a drought has not occurred since 1768, when the House of Thomez and Co. failed for 63 Millions of Piaistres. A certain great Female Personage is reported to have last week given 100,000l. to her three eldest sons, 40,0001. a- piece to the two eldest, and 20. oool. to the other. This is acting with true tenderness, and every one must praise her for the deed.—- Sic vos, non vobis! The infidelity of the wife of a most respectable Law character, as it has given much pain to her amiable husband, must affect every good mind with sympathy. We know not what it is in the present day that causes it, but a great revolution certainly appears in female morals; which even a long course of conjugal felicity cannot secure. The total amount of the several branches of the public revenue, under the heads of Customs, Excise, Stamps, and Incidents, for the week ending April 29, 1791, is 122,362l. 6s. 11d.

A dispensation has passed the great seal to enable the Rev.

Friday was married, by special Licence; at the Hon. W. Tollemache's, the Right Hon. the Earl of Dysart, to Miss Lewis, sister of Henry Greswold Lewis, Esq; of, Malvern Hall, Warwickshire. Tuesday se'nnight was married at St George's Church, Hanover- square, London, the Right Hon Viscount Fielding, Member for Newport, and eldest son to the Earl of Denbigh to Miss Powys, daughter of Thomas Jelf Powys, Esq; of Berwick House, near Shrewsbury. •'": - • Monday se'nnight. was married at St. George's Chapel, London, by the Lord Bishop of Bristol, Thomas Tyrwhytt Jones, Esq. of Stanley in Shrop- shire, and Member for Weymouth, to Miss Harriet Williams, youngest daughter of Edward Williams, Esq; of Eaton, in the same county.

On Saturday last Ann Wytham, was committed to our Castle Gaol, by Virtue of the Coroner's Warrant, charged with the wilful murder of her female bastard child, at Ardley in this county. On Sunday last a melancholy accident happened at Abingdon. Seven young men going up the river on a party of pleasure in Mr. B's Wherry, in passing the Abbey Lock, which was drawn, the boat by the force of the water was drawn down, and dashed to pieces. One of the party, Francis Baker, was drowned, the others were providentally saved, some by clinging to the Rhymers of the Lock, others by swimming, and one by jumping from the boat as she was going down The body of Baker was found sometime after, but all attempts to restore him proved ineffectual.

Two of the ewes were only yearlings. . Uncommon increase.— A cow, the property Mr. Richard Dewey, of Pickworth, near Melton, on Saturday last brought forth four calves, three of which are now alive. It is remarkable, that the same cow had three calves the 26th of April 1790, all of which were fatted and sold ; so that she has produced seven within the space of one year. Last week a person of the name of Pitt, a shoe- maker, of Birmingham, slipped backwards off the flagged way opposite the Castle, in High street, in that town, and a coal cart going by at that instant, went over his breast, and unfortunately killed him on the spot. He was returning with his wife from St. Martin's. Church, and a child whom they had just christened, when the dreadful circumstance hap- pened.— It is supposed he was seized with a fit at the time he fell, as he did not make, when down, the least exertion. On the morning of Tuesday se'nnight, an indu- strious man of Newton- Poppleford, Devon, the father of a large family, who had lately discovered symp- toms of melancholy, after having most tenderly em- braced his youngest child, retired to an upper room - and hanged himself. His wretched wife very soon discovered him in the dreadful situation, but not- withstanding he was immediately cut down, and ma- , nifested signs of life by opening, his eyes and other circumstance, s, be expired at seven o'clock in the evening. , There are now Worsted Goods in the hands of dif- ferent Merchants at Norwich, to the amount of above 100,000l. ready to be shipped for Russia ; the Exportation of which is at present, prevented by the expected rupture with that empire. ' Monday last was committed to our Castle, by the Rev. Mr. Cartwright, Thomas Bennett, for stealing two iron pots, one brass kettle, and an iron bar, the property of Joseph Hodgetts, of Dudley, in this county. At our fair, on Saturday last, there was a fine shew of Cattle, Sheep, and Hogs, which sold well; but few good horses, which brought very high prices. ; Price of, grain— Wheat", fs,' - M. lo 6s « fo'd.— Barley j js. 6d. to ^.--- Bfians, j?.. to 4- s White Peas, 4s. 6d, to 56.-— Grey diftSv, 5s. 6tl. to 4- s. id,— Oats, is. id. to.'^.--- Veteheji - 6' 3.' 6d. to 7s. per bushel. . • ' Price of Hops— New, + 1. to 5I. fojp;- 01d, + 1. to $ 1. i » g. per cwt. ; ' ' CITY of WORCESTER.

His heart was untainted, his looks were devout. And the Bucks of the town all proclaim'd him— A Lout. Resolving to wipe off this scandalous name, And soar like a Buck oft the pinions of fame, He ventur'd to take a trip over France, Where he learnt to take snuff, swear, lye, fence, rake, and dance. . .".'-' { more, Thus improved, he returned to old England once Here he bought a Toledo, and hired a w--- e, , Well lin'd were his pockets, elate was his heart; And the Bucks of the town all proclaim'd him-- A Smart. His daddy now dy'd, and he squeez'd out a tear, Tho' he left him as good as one thousand a year; His acquaintance increas'd, and he gain'd vast renown By seducing three girls, who are, now on the town ! He could drink, stab a character, roar out a catch, Break a lamp, beat the constable; bully the Watch; Thus he mounted the climax with monstrous luck, And the Bloods of the town all proclaimed him - A Buck. At length his estates were all mortgaged and seiz'd, His mem'ry decay'd, and his body diseas'd Deserted by those who had liv'd at his cost, His companions were sharpers, and knights of the post: He learnt to pick pockets, pack cards, cog a dye, Pass'd his nights in a brothel, and Sometimes a stye ; By a Friend was arrested„ and thrown into jail, Where like a true Blood, he laughs at this tale.

DR. WATSON's COMPOUND BALSAM OF AMBER, For Cough's Ashmas, Difficulty of Breathing, Hoop- ing Coughs, Spitting of Blood, and Consumptions. OF this excellent Medicine, a Compound from the prescription of that great and worthy Physician Dr. WATSON, too much cannot be said ; but it. would be injurious tor his memory, to exceed the diseases he recommended it. for, by vauntingly puffing it as the Panacea ( or universal remedy) for all complaints; far from it: The Proprietor, while he pledges himfelf for its specific qualities, confines it solely to those disorders classed, by medicinal wri- ters, Thoracic and Pulmonary, or Diseases of the Breast and Lungs. The benign effects of this Balfam in Asthmas are such, as almost instantly to relieve those distressing suffocations invariably attendant on that disorder when confirmed, rendering an immediate composure to the whole frame in those dreadful paroxysms of agitation. In the Hooping Cough, the anxious parent will experience an immediate alleviation of the fits, and by a strict attention to the directions, a happy termination of that dreadful disease in a very short time it is also infallible in those destructive Coughs, arising from Measles, neglected Colds, & c. In Consumptive Cases it is very efficacious, in the Cough, difficulty of breathing, spitting of blood, pains in the breast and side, profuse nocturnal sweats, and relieves the whole train of symptoms which at- tend a disease of the lungs; numerous are the in- ftances of persons recovering from the most deplo- rable situations, by taking a few bottles of the Balsam. after all other medicines, attended by the most judi- cious advice had failed.

THE Herb Coltsfoot, called TUSILLAGG. by the Ancients, was distinguished by them, as its Name sufficiently conveys, for its Excellence in the Cure of Coughs and more Pulmenary Complaints; and this Essence has, in the Course of a long Prac tice, been found the most safe and effectual Re- medy for Coughs, Asthmas, Wheezings; Phthisicky Consumptions, Hoarseness, Defluxions, Catarrhs, Difficulty of Breathing, and all Disorders of the Breast and Lungs, It gently opens the Breast, and immediately gives Liberty of Breathing, without any danger of taking Cold. It comfortably allays the Tickling which provokes frequent Coughing, the uneazy Senzations of acrimonious Humours, cleanses the Glands, relaxes the Fibres, and thereby enlarges the Cavities of the Vessels, Thus it regu- larly and quickly cures the most obstinate Asthmas and Consumptions of the longest standing if taken before the Lungs are ulcerated. It cures all husky and dry Coughs, dissolves congealed Phlegm in the Thorax, heals Rawness and Soreness of the Breast, Stomach, and Lungs: and gives immediate relief to those who through Age and Infirmity are deprived of Rest or Sleep, as it gently composes and contri- butes to make the Remainder of their Days com- fortable and easy.

Letters from the grand army, dated the 28th ult. at Coimbatore, mention, that they were to march the ensuing day towards Sattimungalum, where it was supposed an attempt would be made to gain. the pass which leads to the Ghauts, and where, as Tippoo's force was daily increasing, a conflict of the most serious nature might be expected to ensue. The Sultan, by way of commencing his boasts, is said to have sent word to General Medows by the Su- bahdar he found in Errode, that he intended waiting his pleasure on the north bank of the Bavanee, which has lately risen very considerably, ., The rumour of the death of the Grand Sultan, which was reported from so many quarters, as to gain a considerable degree of belief, arose, in all probability from the pretended prophecy of a San- ton, that the Ottoman Empire would change its master in the year 1791. This prognostication met with that sort of credit, that such wiid effusions of a heated imagination ever do, in a country degraded by ignorance and superstition, and was magnified into a certainty of its completion. Its unfortunate Revealer met with the terrible fate of all those who offend against despotic anlimited power ; as this Ot- toman priest was a Short time since impaled alive. A great number of Ottoman troops are assembling near Brailow,. to defend that fortress against the Russians, as it is undoubtedly in this quarter that they will make their next attack. , ' Leopold seems to shelter himself behind the States of Hungary, respecting the cessions of territory pre- scribed by the Convention . of Reichenbach".' Their Representative at Sistovia. now pretends that the Emperor was not entitled to make those cessions with- out the consent of the Hungarian States, By a Similar feint, Francis I. evaded the performance of the treaty of Madrid, by which he had engaged to cede Bur- gundy to Charles V. The states of the Province denied the validity of the Act, and the Monarch con. ceived his honour Saved by this- Salvo. ^ : The King of Naples, in the course of his tour to Vienna, killed, in Austria, Bohemia; : and; Moravia;' according to the German newspapers, 5 bears 1145 deer,' and 12435 pratridges The rivers Dnieper and Bog have their source in Poland; and pass through many provinces of that kingdom,' covered with forest, and abound in mari- time stores, which the fortress ot Oczakow alone has- prevented from being dispersed over the Mediterra- ' nean. The Southern nations of Europe are com- pelled to derive their naval Stores from the Baltic ; and as they must pass through the English Channel, their resourccs are liable to be cut of by a British Squadron. But were Oczakow, and Aikerman ( the mouths of the Dnieper, and Dniester) in the possession of Russia, this control '. on' the growth of the other nations of Europe would be in a considerable degree lost to England. For Russia might in a great mea- sure Supply France and Spain, by sending the pro- duce of Podolia and Lithuania from her harbours in the Black Sea dirctly into the Mediterranean Ports. Extract of a Letter from Berlin, April 5th, 1791. We are yet uncertain as to the event' of peace or war, though the general opinion is, that the Em- press will not make peace with the Turks without the surrender of Oczakow and its- dependencies, un- less our Court takes some Steps to oblige her. On the 1st instant, our Ministers Count Schulenbourg, with General Van Gensau, President of the War Department, had an audience of Count Hertzberg, at seven o'clock in the morning ; and soon after they all three drove to Stolpe, a short distance from Pots- dam, where they were met by the two King's Ad- jutants, Von Bischoftwerder, and Von Manstein ; and after a very long conference of two hours, they all drove to Potsdam, where they had an interview with the King. In the night of their return to town several dispatches were sent off to Prussia. Va- rious opinions' are held 0n this conference; but the most probable opinion is, that the orders have been Sent into Prussia to put the army therein motion..— The Officer, who carried out dispatches to the Court of London, returned here yesterday,' Since which the idea of a war prevails more than ever. An English Officer employed here in making ready some bridges on, a new constuction; but the process of his work is kept So secret, that no one is permitted to see it, not even officers, .. A stranger passed through Potsdam last week, who immediately ordered fresh horses and pursued his route towards Hamburgh. As soon as the report was given in to the King, as is usual on all strangers that pass through the Prussian territories,-- His Ma- jesty ordered that different- expresses should be sent after him, and endeavour to bring this Stranger back. Six Adjutants and four Chasseurs immediately set off on horseback, but as the stranger had-- got the Start of them by four hours; and had given a great deal of money to the post- drivers, to make dispatch he was not overtaken Until he had reached the terri- tories of Mecklenburgh, where his person was safe. It is believed- that this Gentleman must be Lieutenant Lindenau, who quitted the. Prussian for the Imperial service, and for whose ; apprehension the King last year offered a premium of two thousand dollars. The English officer above mentioned as being employed in preparing bridges,' is Mr. Sydney Smith, who served as a volunteer last year on board the Swedish fleet. A floating battery is now build- ing under his direction, fit to carry a very, heavy weight of metal. - - . Cork, April 13. A few weeks ago, one Daniel Sullivan, of Foramore, in the county of Kerry, was Shot in open day by his own brother; James Sullivan. The deceased Daniel was the elder, and James the younger brother. This James had been a considera- ble time in the practice of robbing his brother Da- niel, under the pretence that he had not received an adequate proportion of their late father's- substance. On Tuesday morning the 8th instant, about ten o'clock, Daniel . Sullivan was told that his brother James was building a house on the lands of Muckra, part of the premises, and on Daniel's going there, it is supposed some altercation muft have immediately ensued, for a shot was heard, and on the neighbours going up, Daniel Sullivan was found dead, with two wounds in his breast, where two balls had entered j and gone through the body; he had also two contu- ! sions on his breast, his face blackened with gun- : powder, and the skin torn off his chin; and from the direction the ball took, it was supposed he was lying on the ground when he was shot. I' It is hoped this unnatural villain will be brought | to immediate justice, as we hear the magistrates and : gentlemen of that county, assisted by the police, are using their utmost endeavours to have him appre- hended. truly intereting Case.— Mr. William Woodburn, of Whitehaven, in the county of Cumberland, a gen- tleman of an advanced age, was from a complication of disorders in his bowels, rendered truly miserable to himself, and equally distressing to those around him, who, after trying every thing in vain, gave him over as a lost man ; but in the moment of their despair, several members of the faculty, who had been witnesses of the astonishing effects of the ORI- ENTAL VEGETABLE CORDIAL, Sold by the Pa- tentee, B. CORNWELL, No.- 13, Conduit- street, Han- over- square, in bottles of 5s. each, earnestly recom- mended the immediate use of it, and had the hap- piness to bear testimony of a speedy cure being made in a few days, and a restoration of the patient from the brink of the grave to a state of health, that seemed more like a miracle than the effect of medicinal cordial on the human frame! We cannot omit adding how much is due to professional men for their candour to- wards the Patentee, who has to thank them for in- numerable instances of their most pressing recom- mendation in favour of the Oriental Cordial; by the efficacy of which Mr. Thomas Simson, of Fordham, Suffolk, has been intirely restored from a bilious complaint; and also Mr. William Newman, of Corsham, Wilts, of vio- lent pains in the bowels.
