YEsterday was the Anniversary of the Birth- Day of the Prince of Wales, when his Royal Highness entered into the 41st Year of his Age: On which Occasion he was complimented in the Morning by the Lord justices, and by a great Number of the Nobility and Persons of Distinction. The Day was with ringing of Bells and other Rejoycings: At One in the Afternoon the Guns were fired ar the Tower- and at Night there were Bonfires and Illuminations in divers Places' and fine Ball at Liecester House. ' The same Day the Prince gave a Purse to be distributed amongst the poor of St- Anne's Parish. Yesterday at three in the Afternoon died his House in Lincoln's Inn Fields, Sir James Montague, Knt. Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer; Last Night was inter'd in the Chappel in Stretton's Grounds, West- minster, a Person of such prodigious Parts, and eminent Gravity, than there were eighteen men to carry his Corpse on a Bier, which tho' it was made for that purpose, it was apprehended, would break before they, got to the Chappel ; The Grave was with Steps at each End, it being im- possible to let it down with Ropes. The Corpse and Coffin are reproted to have weigh'd 17 hundred Weight, and were of so exorbitant a Bulk, 1 not being able to get them out at the Door, they were forc'd to take the Sashes down, and let them by Tackles out at the Windows. - _ FOREIGN < 4 > FOREIGN NEWS. petersbourgh, ( a new Town and Fortress founded by the Muscovites in 1703.) Oct, 5. The Czar's Conquests in Persia are new Jo well je* cured as to be in a Condition, to bafle all Insults and Enterprises which Meriweis may form against them; besides, that our governour there, after having recei- ved another Reinforcement, and join'd the Sophi's Armyt which consists of 40000 Men, will be enabled to venture a Battle with Meryweis. The Designs ef the Turks in the present Juncture, seem only to send Assistance to Meryweis. and not to come immediately to an open Rupture with us. Paris, ( The Metropolis of France) Nov, 3. They write from Madrid, that the King of Spain has ordered 9 Men of War to be built in his Yard's in the Provinces of Biscay and Guipuscoa; and that his Catholiek Majesty has made the Marquis de S, Michael a Lord of his Bed- chamber, in Reward for the new Settlement he has made in the Philippines, of 240 Leagues in Circumference 5 for building four Forts at his own Expence; for reparing six of the Missionaries Churches, and building three new ones.

Monday last died at his Seat in Fair Lane near Seven Oak in Kent, in the 70th Year of his Age, the Right Honourable Christopher Vane, Ba- ron Barnard of Barnard Castle in the Bishoprick of Durham, who was created a Baron july 8. 1699, by King William III. of Glorious Memo- ry. The Vanes, his Ancestors, were anciently a Family in Wales, and from thence settled in Kent, where they have continued many Years. The first of them mentioned in History wAs Sir Henry Vane, knighted by the Black Prince at the Siege of Boulogne, whose Brother John left two Sons, Henry, from whom the Deceased Lord descended, and Richard, from whom descended the present Earl of Westmorland. Sir Henry Vane, who was Grandfather to our Lord Barnard was in the Time of King Charles I. Ambassadour Extraordinary, first to the States of Holland, and after to the King of Sweden and at his Return Home was made first Comptroller, and then Treasurer of the Houshold to his Majesty, and af- terwards Secretary of State. Sir Henry Vane, his Lordship's Father, was made Treasurer of the Navy by Patent for Life, by King Charles I f 7 J and in the Dutch Wars, his Fees at 4d per Pound ammounted to no less than 20 or 300001. per Ann. which he looked upon as too much for a private Subject, and very generoucly gave up his Patent to the then Par- liament, desiring but 20001. per Annum for an Agent he had bred up to the whoce Buisness, and the Remainder to go to the Publick. This was done, and the Method of the whole Salary has continued ever since in that Office. The Deceased married the Lady Elizabeth, eldest Daughter to Gilbert Earl of Clare, and Sister to John Duke of Newcastle, by whom he has Issue two Sons, viz. Gilbert Vane, Efq; now Lord Barnard, who succeeds to the Honour, and an Estate of 10 or 12000I. per Annum and married Mary, Daughter to Morgan Randyl, Esq; of Chilworth in Surry, and William, who married Lucy, Daughter to William Joliffe, Esq; of Carse- mell in Staffordshire ; also one Daughter named Grace. We hear that Mr. Murray in Covent- Garden, who about three Months since drew the Picture of Queen Philippa Mother of the Black Princess, and Foundress of Queen's College in Oxford, and which is since placed up in the Hall of that College, has lately finish'd a fine Whole- Length Pic- ture of Robert de Eaglefield, the Confessor of the said Queen, in the Priest's Habit of that Time, who contributed largely to the Foundation of that College, and is esteem'd a Co- Founder with her. Which Picture is shortly to be sent down and placed up in the aforesaid Hall, next the said Queen's Picture. MONDAy's POST, From the British Journal, LONDON, November 2. N Friday last Week, as the Lord Chancellor was hearing Causes at his House in Lincolns Inn Fields, a Rogue had the Boldness to steal away the Porters Staff, headed with Silver, from behind the Door, and carried it off undiscover'd. On Tuesday Night about 12 o'Clock, when the Company were gone home from the Lord Mayor's Feast at Fishmonger's Hall, a Fire happened in a little Room, where they sat making Coffee. It was happily extin- guish'd before it came to a Head. From our Portsmouth Letters of the 29th Instant. " According to my Promife I now send you an Account of some of the *• Loffes of the Smugglers here this last Fortnight. " On the 14th Instant four Hogsheads of Wine were taken at Wicklam " by Mr. Clapp; but ' tis believ'd he will not make this appear to be a good Seizure; nor the five Hogsheads seiz'd by him at Titchfield the last' Day of September: The team taken at the same time has been return- « c / ( ed. Tis difficult being on the Square with the Smuglers when they have room to bring any thing to a Tryal. " Two Wherries, with two Hogsheads of Wine in each, were taken in " the Harbour the 17th Instant. About the same time another Wherry " was seiz'd with five or six Anchors of Brandy in it. Eight Anchors of Brandy were found conceal'd in the House of a " small Dealer in that Liquor at Gosport the 18th ^ and the Penalty of " keeping it in an unentred Place, will equal the Loss of the Brandy. " Three or four Anchors of Brandy were taken at so many several Houses " there about the same time. " The Beginning of last Week five Anchors of Brandy, and one of Wine, <! were seized in one House at Gosport, and three Anchors of Brandy in " another, besides two or three Anchors picked up at others. " Last Saturday two Hogsheads of Wine were brought to the Custom- " House, that were taken in Titchfield. " In fine, never was the Smuggling Buisiness ( especially what concerns ft Brandy under so many Discouragements here as now. From the London Journal, LONDON, Nov. 2. We have an Account from the West of England and other Parts, that several Persons who have been Nonjurors all his Majesty's Reign, have now taken the Oaths to the Government, pursuant to the late Act.

Williams ; the Levantine, Capt. Thomas, and the Assiento Capt. Tyzar. The Person mention'd in the last, to be of a vast bulk, was Mr. George Martin, a noted Brewer in Westminster, who died in the 40th Year of his Age ; he was judged to be the fattest Man in England, and was got to such a Bulk, that he thought he had the Dropsy; so that the Day be- fore he died he was cut several Inches in to be tap'd, but it was all through Fat, which choaked him. On Monday last his Body was interred in the Chappel in Stretton's Grounds, Westminster. His Coffin was two Yards f Inches long, an Ell and a half wide, and 3 Foot 2 Inches deep. It has been published by some, that there was 18 Men to carry his Body on a Bier, which though it was made for that purpofe, it was apprehended would break before they get to the ChappeL From St. James's Evening Post, November 2, Rome, ( the Metropolis of all Italy,) Oct. 16. Cardinal Alberoni re- ceives frequent Visits from the Persons of Distinction who are in his Inte- rest; and, ' tis said, the Pope has declar'd. that he will give him the Hat in the first Consistory after the Holidays. The Cardinal Vicar has caused a Decree to be published against Whores that live in the Streets near the Quirinal, and others of the Pope's Palaces, enjoyning them under severe Penalties to depart immediately, and get Lodgings elswhere. But pas- Quin takes the Liberty to say, That if this Order be not suppress'd, the Pope's Domesticks will seldom be in Call when he wants them. Florence, ( One of the chief of Italy) 0ct. 12.

LONDON, November 2: Some Days ago two of the King's Messengers, having Orders to search for Letters on Board a small Vessel at Gravesend, bound for France in searching an old Frenchman that was returning to that Kingdom, found .! seven - — - * '( 9) seven hundred and eighty odd Guineas quilted in a Broad Leather Belt- round his Middle, and next his Skin, which they carried to the Custom House. Some Persons of Distinction which arriv'd in Town on Thusday last from Calais, have brought an Account, that a remarkable Accident hap- pened at a small Village, called Beaulieu, situate on the Road between Calais and Paris; where a Captain and private Gentleman of the French King's Guards happened to set up at an Inn in the Evening of November < j. N. S. Having taken to their Chamber, they supp'd, and going to Bed, one of the Maid Servants inform'd them that there were seven dan- gerous Ruffians in the House, who would assuredly murder and rob them before they went out.: In these dangerous Circumstances the Gentlemen consulted what was proper to be done, and finding no possibility of get' ting out of the House without meeting their Fate, came to a Resolution, * ro force there Way out, Vi & Armis, & c. Whereupon they loaded two Pistols each, came down Stairs, and were going our, when the Villi* ans, who were at Supper, get up to oppose them: The Captain dischar- ged both his Pistols in an Instant; as did likewise his Companion, which killed four of them on the Spot; the other three fell on their Knees, and begged their Lives, who, together with the Master of the Inn and his Wife, were secured, and committed to Prison. The African Company received Advice by an Express last Night from Portsmouth, that his Majesty's Ship the Centurion, cruising off the Coast of Guinea, has taken a French and English Pirate, the first commanded by Capt.

Thursday last seven of the Persons commonly call'd, the Berkshire Blacks, were brought up in a Waggon to this Town, by a Habeas Corpus, from Winchester Goal, being all in Irons, and link'd together by an Iron Chain, and guarded by a Detachment of the Duke of Bolton's Blue Guards, They were first carry'd to the Cockpit while their Excellencies were sitting in Council, and order'd to proceed from thence to Weftminster- Hall; and the Grand Jury for Middlesex having found Bills' of Indictment against them them for Felonies, they were araign'd at the King's Bench Bar, and all pleaded, Not Guilty. Mr. Attorney General having moved the Court, that a Day might be set for their Tryal, Wednesday Sev'night the 13th Instant, was accordingly appointed for it. Then the Court committed them to Newgate,' whither they were carry'd in the same Waggon, and under the same Guard.
