Yefterday morning the King took the diver- fion of hunting a deer. He was itarted near Afcot, and after a chafe of four hours, was taken on the Salifbury road. The Earls of Chefter- lield and Beaulieu, Lord Vifcount Hinchinbroke, with feveral other attendants, accompanyCd his Majefty to the ground. Yefterday his Royal Highnefs the Duke of Glouccftcr arrived at Glouceiier- Houfe, in Upper Grofvenor- ftreet, from Cranlxiurii- Lodge. Yefterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet- Council was held at the Secretary of State's Office, White- hall, which was attended by Mr. Titt, Dukes of Richmond and Leeds, Marquis of Stafford, Em 1 Cf Chatham, Earl Camden, Mr. Dunda?, and Mr. Grenville.

Yefierday afternoon his Excellency the Pruffian JMiniRer, and Mr. Ewart, lately arrived from Ber- lin, had interviews with the Cabinet- Miiiifters, at the Duke of Leeds's Office.

Lord Amherft vvas fent for to town on Saturday from his houfe at. Montreal, in Kent* and con- futed by Mr. Pitt, it is fuppciid, on the fubjeCt of fome projected expedition. The brigade of the third regiment of foot guards, who we Oidsfed for foreign fervice, will undergo a general infpeCtion to- morrow in St* James's park, when they will receive orders from their commanding officer to keep themfelves in readinefs, as their marching orders will foon be iffued out from the War- Office. Monday Captain Malcolm, of the 65th regi- ment, embarked on board his Majefty's Ihip the Excellent, of 74 guns, at Portfmouth, commanded by Captain Gill, to do marine duty, with a party of recruits belonging to different regiments from Chatham. The fituation of the Navy Lieutenan's is fo hard, that it is not to be doubted but the humanity of Government will interpofe in their favour.— Their income is very fmall, while the neceffaries of life are very expenfive ; befides which, many of them have large families to fupport, and are, according to their rank, obliged to maintain a proper dccency in drefs and appearance. The dread of expenfe prevents many of thetn from of- fering their fervices on the prefent armament. Ext rait of a Letter from Portfmouth, Nov. I. " The two men of war feen laft night in the Ofling were the. Valiant, of 74 guns, his Royal Highnefs the Duke of Clarence Commander, and the Hebe frigate, Captain Hood ; the former from. Plymouth, and the latter from Guernfey, with liquours for the fleet. " This morning another exprefs for Lord Howe was received from Government; but as the wind is very high, the fleet cannot get under way, or make the neceffary preparations. " The Commander of every fhip in the grand fleet has had two fealed packets, to be opened in a fixed latitude, the one marked " Rendezvous," the other without any writing on the cover." Extra!} of a letter from Plymouth, OB. 31. " Laft night arrived here his Majefty's fhips Vengeance and Hannibal, of 74 guns, which failed from hence on Sunday the 24th inlt. after encountering a very heavy gale of wind at Eaft, which continued for fqur days. The Vengeance has carried away her fore and main- top gallant malts, and fprung her main top- maft, which fhe is getting repaired as fail as poflible in the Sound, and when done, .{ he Will fail again for Spithead. The fquadron. were all in fight of the lfle of Wight, when they experienced the feverity of the gale, which drove them down Channel many leagues Weft of th^ s port. The Valiant of 74 guns, his Royal Highnefs . the Duke of Clarence fuffered conftdeiably, having loft her fore and maintop gallant malts, and fplit her fail, and was obliged to make a fij » nal of diftrefs to the Ven- geance, on which fhe immediately bore down, and rendered every affiftancC. This morning the Han- nibal failed again. " The wind blew very hard at E. S. E. at the time Admiral Corniih's fleet paffed this port to the Weftward on Wednefday, and indeed it conti- nued fo till yefterdny morning, when it became more moderate. If this fleet is really bound to the Weft- Indies, they muft, by this time, be a great way out of Soundings." Poor Powell, the pedeftrian, loft his laft, wager by falling feveral times, and once into a ditch, as he paffed over Blackheath; the night proved re- markably dark and wet: the inhabitants of Can- teibury, however, made a fubfeription of 40I. which they chearfully beftowed on him. ExtraB of a letter front Vienna, OBober 12. " Prince Potemkin's army, which has paffed the fummer in a ftate of defence only, begins now to be in motion, probably with an intention of Itriking fome important ltroke in the Autumn, a feafon in which the Turks may be attacked to ad- vantage, as at that time it is cuftoraary for many of their troops to difband, and go to their homes for the winter: that this is the intention of the Ruffians appears from the whole army under Prince Potemkin in Moldavia being preparing to pafs the Danube, and Generals Repnin and Su- vvarow are marched With detachments to take pof- fcflion of Ifmadcw and Bradow. The plan of Prince Pot^ mkip. feems to be the fame as that which GeneralRomanaow put fo fuccefsfully into execution in 1774, namely, to pafs the Danube, and ptiwhe Graad Viiir between two fires; to cut off hit' communication with Conftantinople, and, if ' poffible, to bring him to an engagement.-—* ' This plan, if it can be brought to bear, and is at- tended with fuccefs, will be fuch a ftroke as will give a material, turn to any negociations that may take place during the winter. " We have accounts from Belgrade thatthe two principal fubarbs of that fortrefs are entirely de- lcrtcd ; the Gieeks having, during the time that fortrefs wa3 in the hands of the Auftrians, carried away whatever they could ; infomuch that fcarce a houfe has either a door or a Window left in it." By a gentleman lately arrived from Cadiz, we learn that the whole of the Spanilh fleet has been rcr victualled fince itsdaft return into harbour ; and tjiat one divifion of the fleet, for reafons unknown when, he tame away, took in three months'provi- fions morethan the others. On ' Mopday evening, at a meeting of the Royal Academicians, for the purpofe of choofing an AffociatSj'Mr. Wheatley was eleCted by a confi- deSriMe majority of votes. Previous to the eleition, Sir Jofhua Reynolds addreffed the Academicians, avowedly by the Royal fanCtion, in favour of Mr. Lawrence, re- prefenting i'nat his Majefty had expreffed a high fenfe of Mr. Lawrence's talents, as an artift, and a wiflt to fee hia name in the lift of the Royal Academicians. Some Members feemed to think, that whatever was th « pleafure of bis Mnjefty, the Prefident had taken an improper time of conveying it formally on the moment of an eleftion ; as it appeared to have been announced at that period for the pur- pofe of influencing the event, which it was fup- pofed the Prefident wilhed to render favourable to Mr. Lawrence. Some indeed feemed to have doubts whether Sir Jolhua had not fuffered the warmth of his friendfnip to exceed the exaCt import of the Royal declaration. Confidering, however* the fituation in which Sir Jolhua Reynolds ftands, as well as his private character, there can hardly be a doubt but he was fufficiently warranted in all his proceed- ings upon this delicate point. Judge Wilfon is in fo alarming a ftate of health that his phyficiatls think it impoflible he fhould re- cover, unlefs he remains in the country during the whole of the winter ; he is therefore gone to Cornwall, and the Courts will be deprived of an able and important pillar of the law for fome time, though vre hope not finally.

The Lord Mayor Eletl was attended by an uncommon number of Aldermen, and the Sheriffs; who were afterwards elegantly entertained by his Lordihip, at Stationers'' Hall, with the Court of Affiftants of that Company, and feve- ral other friends, amonglt whom were Dr. Farmer Sir Jofhua Reynolds, Mr. Bofwell, and many more gentlemen eminent for polite and literary aceomplifhments.— Numerous as the company was, his Lordfhip paid his perfonal refpeCts to every individual in the moftcondefcending and po- lite manner. The Lord- Mayor appeared yefterday in anew coach, which, as might be expeCted, is of Angu- lar tafte and beauty. The ground of the panaels confi. fts of horizontal ftripes in blue and gold, the collar of SS, which is a part of the City regalia, forming a very rich and appropriate border, The arms of the City, and the Lord- Mayor appear in two diftinCt fhields, properly connected, enriched with official emblems, and guarded by the city fupporters, beautifully painted. Indeed we never remember to have feen a carriage, in which the convenience of private ufe, and the dignity of publick ftaucn, were fo happily affueiated. Mrs. Eften is the daughter of Mrs, Bennett, the authorefs of two novels, entitled Anna and Juvenile Indifcretions. Her brother, Thomas Pye Bennett, is a worthy young officer in the Navy, through whofe introduction her hufband, Mr. Eften, firft became known to her. She is very your- g, and married early. She pof- feffes a deal Of good fenfe; is naturally affable ; though, for one of her time of life, folid and grave. Mrs. Eften only turned her thoughts on the theatre within the laft three or four years: The ill fucce. fs of her hufband in fome bufinefs he had engaged in, was her " motive.

I was dxty- three years ago, but BOt having been in town fome years, I cannot get out of my head thofe beautiful lines of Dr. Young, wherein he likens man's life to a river— " For ever changing— unperceiv'd the change." for I find the fame crowds of people palling through Leiceller- fields ; I fee the fame wheel- barrows piled up with oranges and apples, the fame baliad- fingers, buckle- fhops, and Ihoe and " boot warehoufes, which were there near feventy years ago; yet, in faft, perhaps fcarce any thing remains, either animate or inanimate, except the dwellings of the various inhabitants; and they too have been changed over and over again ; yet we continue to move on in the fame crowd ; for " we call the crowd the fame, thefame we think our life, nor mark the mark irrevocably lapfed, and mingled with the fea." I wifhed to pour out thefe thoughts upon your paper, in ordtigHo re- move them from mine, as. it is already too full ot the marks of a long life, which, between you and me, Mr. Baldwin, is but a filly affair, whatever we are.

SIR, JT is an tftabliihed maxim, than riches are the natural foil for arrogance and, defpotick pbwer, • rid that in the individual who poiicU'es, them, it feldom fails of producing an ample crop of both. Providence deligned riches for the difFufion of kappiuefs and comfort; but man makes them the inftruments of- unlawful power, and authority.— I was led into thefe reflexions by living in the neigh- bourhood of one of thefe defpots, whofe conduft verifies and confirms the. maxim. I was further led to confider a fccondary or vivifying caufe, by which means the crops are more abundant and made perennial. Thefe great men in general have livings to beftow, and to the difgrace of human nature,, and particularly of men, who, from their education, ought to be exempt from fuch mea- fures, the body of the Clergy can aKyays furnifh afefficient number who will debate themfelves by their fervility and adulation ; and fo obtain " the promifed land," will fubmit to wear their patron's collar as terms of acceptance. It is this that gives the Great improper ideas of themfelves; and it is this that" makes them deport themfelves to an independent man, who will not difcoyer a ftmilaf abj. eftnefs of mind, with contumely and aver- fton. Whenever bad habits are countenanced ( and efpecially by men who hold a facred office) they become inveterate, nay incurable ; and it is a faft to be depended on, that whereever a Clergyman is of that conformable mould, it follows, as natural as the effedt froiri a caufe, that the great ' Squire is a defpot. Rochefeucault, who underft. ood human nature well, tells us why the fycophantis not difcerned in fuch charadters— " Flattery is like falfe money ; and if it. were not for our own Vanity, would never pais in payment." What pre- cminence is there in riches f They are adventitious; and another- revolution of the ivhcci might have turned the rich ' Squire into a Shoe- black ! They are inherited by forrte who have no other litle torefpeft; and acquired fraudulent- ly by others. I was early taught, that nothing , is efiimable in man but Virtue ; and rhat doflriiii I adhere to without afpiring to be acquainted with thofe who poffefs it not; and without being mor- tified at their infolence, but not without aliening the privileges of my nature, " and dtfpiniig the pimp and the parafite. FIRMtJS. MAXIMS on GOVERNMENT; From Mr. B V R K E'S Letter. f o confirm tie, olfcr- natiou which we made in our Review of Mr. BURKE'S PrcduH- ion, that it might ha ve been, called An EfTay cm Govern- ment, we now prefent cur Readers with fucb fentences as f; tm to us to, merit attention in the light of Political Maxims-, They are extraSi. ld frem various parts of the work, and arranged fo as to fhow their coincidence with each other. ELIGION is the bafis of civil fociety, and JFV. the fource of all good and all comfort. ' I'henatural p'rogrefs of the paffions, from frailty to vice, ought to be prevented by a watchful eye and a firm hand. When men are habitually convinced that no evil can be acceptable, either in the aft or the per- million, to hitaWjiofe effence is good, they will be the better able to extirpate out of the minds of all magiftratcs, civil, ecclefiaftical, or military, anything that hears the leaft refemblance to a proud and lawlef's domination. Government is not made in virtue of natural rights which may and'do exifl in total indepen- dence of it. It is a contrivance of human wifdom to provide for human wants; and in this fenfe the-, refiraints on men, as well as their liberties, are to be reckoned among their rights. Whatever each man can feparately do, without trefpaffing on others, he has a right to do for himftlf; And he has a right to. a fair portion of all which fociety, with ail its combinations of fkill and force, can do in his favour. But as to the lhare of power, authority, and direftion, which each individual ought to have in the ma- nagement of the ftate, that I mufl deny to be amongft the dircft original rights of man in civil lbciety—^ Ic is a thing to be fettled by convention. Society is indeed, a contraft— but it is not- a ya; tnerlhip in things lubfervient only to the grois animal exiftence of a temporary and pewfhabie nature— It is a partnerfhip not only between thofa who are living ; but between thofe who are living, thofe who are dead, and thofe who are tq be born. A perfeft Democracy is the moft ( hatttefefs thing in the world. As it is the moft fhamelefs, it is alfo the moft fearlefs. No man apprehends in his perfon he can be made fubjeft to pa- nifhment. Ariftotle obferves, that a Democracy has many llriking points of refemblance with a Tyranny. Nobility is a graceful ornament to the civil or- der. He feels no ennobling principle in his own heart who willies to level all the artificial initia- tions which have been adopted for giving a body to opinion, and permanence to fugitive efteem— It is a four, malignant, envious difpofuion, with- out tafte for the reality, or for any image or re- prefenution of virtue, that fees with joy. the un- merited fall of what had long flouriihed in fplen- dour and honour. A State without the means of fome change, , s without the means of its confervation.— But when the advantages cf the pcii'efiion and of the pro- jeft are on a par, there is no motive for a change. The evils of inconftancy and verfatility are ten thoufand times worfe than thofe of obftinacy and the blindeft prejudice. Rage and phrenzy will pull down more in half an hour than prudence, deliberation, and forefight . ean build up in an hundred years. In all mutations ( if mutations there muft be) th- e circumflance which will ferve moft to blunt ihe edge of their mifc'iief, and to promote what gcod may be in them, is, that they ihouldTTnd us with our mmds tenacious of juitice, and tender of property.. A man full of warm fpeculative benevolence may wifh his fociety otherwife conftitutcd than he finds it; but a good patriot and a trua politician always c. otifjders how he { hall inake-' the moft of < i. e exijlirig materials of bis country. A cifpo'fi- tiop to preferve, and ah ability to improve, taken together, would be my flandard of a Statefman. Every thing elfe is vulgar in the conception, and perilous in the execution. Kings, will be tyrants from policy, tvhenSubjefts are. rebels from principle. Some part of the wealth of a country is as ufe- fully employed as it cahbe, in fomenting the lux- ury of individuals—: lt is the publick ornament— it is the publick confolation— it nourifhes the pub . lick hope. Nothing is a due and adequate reprefentaticn of a State that docs not reprefent its ability as well as its property. I have never yet feen . any plan which has not beenmendedby the obfervations of thofe who were much inferiour in ucdsrftanding to the perfon who took the lead in the bufinefs.

During the whole gale, the rain poured in fu'eh abundance, that there was no poffibility of look- ing to the windward ; even large bodies of water were railed out of the fea. The violence of " the wind was fo great, that the fliip was kept in a conftant tremor by its power on the mafts and yards; all the fails were fplit, and fome blown away, fo as not to leave a remnant behind, ex- cept the main- fail and main- top- fail; even thofe that were furled were blown locfe and fplit.

If they are not, they may then confider each ether as executioners, who illegally ufurp the office which the hangman would perform in a more edi- fying manner. I believe in the prefent day there is neither fuperftition nor piety enough to interefl Providence in the event; and therefore I appre- hend the motives which ftimulate are either the violence of refentment,. or the dread of ignominy. It is probable that men dare not treat with neg » left a profeifed duellift, but I think women may. They perhaps dare not countenance a man who ha, s refufed a challenge, becaufe he has a wife and family, or if ftngle, becaufe he thinks his life of more importance to himfelf and his country than to be thrown away. fo idly ( to fpeak no plain- er).

To CAUSipiCVS. AMoft lingular mark of rapacity and inhu- manity' lately attended the death of a lady, ,3t Shrivenham, in Berkfhire; which, , if jufti. fi- abie by the laws of the country, Teems to claim, the immediate attention of the Legiflamre. The; L^- jy was laft feffed of a lifehsTd. eflate by the Will of the hufband of a grear- aunt, which Will, after her de'eeafe, bequeathed the fame to the Church; but as he died within twelve months after the Will was executed, the laft bequeft to'the Church became nugatory by the flatute of MortT main. In confequence, feveral'claimants ftarted up as heirs at law to the devifee, and under pre- tenfe of taking poffeffi on of the freehold, forced tfreir way into the houfe,- whilft the body of the poor lady lay unburied, to the. number of a dozen . perfons, and were guilty of great indecorum and indelicacy ; while the relations of the deceafed, who were at leaft entitled to all the perfonal pro- perty, were utterly at a lofs how to conduft them- felves, and preferve a decent decorum till the funeral could take place. The opinion of Caujidicus is requefted, how far fu^ h behaviour in the feveral claimants, as heirs at law, vva? juftifiable, and whether they are liable to any, and what pnnifliment, for that which fe< ms to the writer of this, a grofs violation of " the decency and refpeft, iji all ages allowed, to be due to the remains of mortality, and the feel- ings of human nature. pUELLING. fo the PRINTER of the St. j.

This morning the LORD- MAYOR received a Letter from the SECRETA- RY of STATS, which he read Lloyd's and the Stsci- Exf. bangs,• • that matters are nearly fettled with the COURT of SPAIN; as a Convention was to be figiied at Madrid, on the 27th, between our Ambaffadour and the Spanifh Court, for the outlines of a PEACE.

' WHEN the Spanifh. Ambaffadour told our Miniftry, that his mafter had fixty fhips of the line, ready for fea, the declaration was looked! upon as a gafconade, and nobody believed him. M. de la LUZERNE, thedifcarded French Mini- Iter, has juft told his mafter, that he leaves him with feventy fhips of the line, and fixtyrfive fri- gates, at a time when very few here believed they could have muttered up thirty. If we do not give them credit for the whole number, let us not, at leaft, be too incredulous as to a great part of it. There is a confidence in fecurity, which is apt to betray itfelf. Our own accounts, brought by thofe who have been fent to reconnoitre the Porte of Breft, admit that the French havt now in readinefs there, twenty fhips of the line. Letters from Toulon fpeak of eighteen more. In the other Ports they have fome. Cherbourg, S. Malo, Marseilles, Bordeaux, can boaft of feveral frigates. We do not fay, that thefe are all ready manned- But the French failors are now returned tp their duty, and as they are every one regiftered, the Miniftry know where to find them. We do not mean by this to difjpirit the pub- lick. Hearts of Oak are our Ships, Hearts of Oak are our Men ;'* and were our enemies doubie their prefent number, there is no doubt, but the Tars of Old- England would give a good account of them. But it is always of fervice to know the real ftrength of an enemy ; and we h^ ve good reafon for thinking that the prefent naval force of the French and Spaniards is much greater than it has been held or generally reputed to be. It is a miftake alfo that the Spaniards have not fent out any force for America, or the V^ eft Indies. A fquadron has certainly, failed ,/ fom Ferrol, and another fmall one from- Malaga," To what parts theft are bound . will very foon. appear The Pruffian troops are xvery day drawing clofer towards Lithuania.

To prevent this, at any other partition of the territories belonging to the Republick is the intention of the confederacy now forming at Warfaw.
