French and Imperial couriers are continually paffing through our territories with a frequency and (peed of which there is no example. They are continually furrounded at the places where they Rap by the curious in politics, in the hope of hear ing from them Come good news in regard to peace. One of there couriers is Paid to have declared that Prince CHARLES was on the point of figning the Preliminaries; and in proof of this affertion, it is (tared that be had given orders to break down none of the bridges on the rivers which his army croffes on their retreat.

This day the Great Seal of Great Britain being delivered up to his Majefty by the Right Honour able ALEXANDER Lord LOUGHBOROUGH, Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, the fame was defaced in his Martsvv's Prefence ; and his Maissry was thereupon pleated to deliver to his Lordfhip a new Great Seal for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and to dine that the fame be made de of (pro revere) for feeling all things whatever which pat's - the Great Seal. The KING has been pleated to grant the dignity of a Marquis of the Kingdom of Great Britain to the Right Honourable HENRY Earl of EXETER, and to the heirs male of his body lawfully begot ten, by the name, ftyle, and title of Marquis of EXETER.

The deer, after being fet off, made a double to return back again, and leaping into the Paddocks near Swin ley, he was fecured. Another deer was then turned out, which running through the inclofures of BreckneU and Benfield, by the Camp Ground, the animal got into a large pond of watcr on this fide Swinluy, where he was taken, and the day's (port terminated, It is reported that his MA/ lISTT has determined to immediately raife another Regiment of Life Guards, the command of which well be given to Lord CA R HAM PTON.

We are gratified in being able to Rate a gene ral redation in the price of grain in Ole metropo lis ; Englifh wheat is from as. to ss. cheaper, and foreign wheat from ss. to 14.5. lower, and there is every reafon to expea a 11111 greater reduetion. " READING, JANUARY 3. . . " Fearing that the rapid fall of 205. per quarter in the price of wheat in our laft market, might not be permanent, we declined noticing it in any other way, than in our ufual hate of the markets: We have now, however, the gratification of in forming our readers, that wheat this day further declined in price full 205. per quarter on the aye rage."—Reacfing Mercury. The importations of wheat in the lafi week, were, Pillau 5660 qrs. ; Holland 4561 ; Dantzic 4000, Hamburgh 2050, Bremen 750, and Kon-1 ingfberg 530, in all t 7,641 quarters. The fupply l of - barley comprifed 6342 quarters ; of oats 113,430 quarters ; and of peafe 2840 quarters.— There were betides about ion tons of potatoes from Holland, Hamburgh, and Bremen. At Oxford, where a new mode of regulating the affize was adopted on Thurfday, the averaged price of wheat was 18s per buihel ; the preceding week it fold from 18s. 3d. to 235. 3d. being a reduaion of at leaf' 16s. per quarter. At Wifbeach the averaged price of wheat has fallen within the week from t 2 is. Bd. to loss. rod. An Devizes and Louth wheat has fallen 6s. per quarter; at Worcefter and Cambridge 45.; and at Sherborne as. ; at Stamford, Lincoln, Leicef ter, and Warminfter, there has been a temporary advance. Government has advanced 2,5001. to the Cor poration of Hull, for the purpofc of promoting the fale of herrings through that town to the inter for of the kingdom ; and to cover any expence which may arife in the profecution of this zneafure, the Corporation has fubfcribed wool.

The public will learn, with great fatisfa&ion, that Lord NELSON is about to be employed on a Secret Expedition, and will hoift his flag in the courfe of a very few days. His inftrations will not be opened till be arrives in a certain latitude. Sir RICHARD STEHLE was early in life employed as Gazette writer, and he defcribes with great truth the nature of the labours of that fituation. He lays, " I worked faithfully according to order, without ever erring again(} the rule obferved by all Minifters to keep that paper very innocent and very infipid." The Gazette, to this day, is con dueled in this manner ' • and in the relation of bat tle there is no danger of any body being able to dircoverficrea! On the 111 inftant, died, at Blithfield, Stafford fhitt, the infant daughter of Lord Becor. Died, on Sunday September 21, at Port Royal, Jamaica, after five days illnefs, mon fincerely amented, and regretted by all who knew him, Mr. Jon,. BROMLEY, Pinter of his Mijelly's thip LOWErrorrs, third fon of Mr. BROMLEY, Surgeon of the chef} at Chatham, aged twenty-three years. —He was a molt dutiful fon, an affeCtionate bro ther, and a firm friend. The pod old Laefr, known by the name of the Eigkertstb Century, who refigned all fublunary cares on Wednefday night lail, was quietly buried in the family vault of Eternity. Her ?hiring, all of whom were cut off at the fame time, confifted of toe Cons, who were known by the name of rears ; 36,500 grand-fons and grand-daughters, called Days and Nights; 376,00 e great grand-children, married into the family of the Roars • 52,560,000 great great grand-children, named Mimics; and 3,153,600.000 great great great grand-children, of the pigmy race of the Second:. By a diary of the weather, kept at Norwich, dur ing the laft Tear, there appears to have been 214 dry days, viz. so in January; 23 February ; 14 March ; 7 April • 23 May s- ;6 June ; 28 July ; 16 Auguft ; 24 S eptember; 17 October ; ;5 No ,vember ; 21 December.—ln the preceding year there were only ;73 dry days. A circular letter had been fent in the beginning of laft week, to all the Fire Offices Rating that a plan was formed for fetting fire to different parts of London on the night of New Year's Day : it occafioned confiderable alarm, and every meafure was projected to defeat fuch a horrid defign : but probably the whole was a hoax. New York papers to the 26th have been receiv ed.—They do not bring intelligence from the feat of Government fo late as that which we received laft whk. We find, however, by letters from Lancafter (Pennfylvania) of the loth, that the Se nate of that province has paired by 13 to t t the Bill prefented by the Houfe of Reprefentatives, for concurring in the eledion of Prefident and Vice Prefident. The Senate introduced feveral important amendments in the Bill fent to them. Several fi'uitlefs conferences had been held be tween the two Honks, on the fubjed. By the Bill which has at 'aft been paired, it is enacted that the eledion for the electors (who are afterwards to vote for Prefident and Vice Prefident) 'hall be on the 22d of November. The number of Elec tors to be ;5. To form this number the Senate is to nominate Eight (the Houfe of Rcprefenta fives wifhed to allow them only five), and the Houfe of Reprefentatives Eight. They are then to chufe from thefe Sixteen the fifteen Eledors ; the fifteen having moft voices to be appointed.— The Sense to vote firti, and then the Houfe of Reprefentatives. We are not fnfficiently acquaint. ed with the intrigues in this province of Penfyl vania to fay how far this arrangement will affect the interests of the refpedive candidates for the Prefident's dignity. The Province, however, fe cures Come weight in the decifton. Some of the newfpapers calculate that ADAMS and Placznar will have 68 voices. it/711MM and Buss SiS ; but this calculation throws Pubfyl tania out of the queflion. IRELAND. DUBLIN, JANUARY i. • The Ad of Legiflative Union becoming thi- day an operative Law, the Imperial United Stand. ard was !mined at twelve o'clock, on Bedford Tower, Dublin Cattle, and at the fame time a Royal falute was commenced at the battery, Plice. nix Park. The Union Flag was alfo difplayed the morning by the Royal Tyrone regiment, then on duty at the Cattle, and by the regiment which relieved them. A fimilar adoption of the Imperial Arms took place in all the Forts, Garrifons, &c. in the United Kingdoms, and was alto difplayed by the feveral fquaclrr,,,s of his tlajefty's Navy. Tuefday laft, his EXCELLENCY gave audience, and held a Privy Council at the Callle._ A proclamation was direited to be iifued by the Council, entirely prohibiting, until the 25th of March next, the making malt of any corn or grain whatfoerer. Another proclamation was alto ordered to be publiffied, taking off quarantine fromveflels coming from the ports of Virginia, or Maryland, it appear. ing that the epidemic lickncfs which had prevailed in thole places, was now fubfided. Thurfday night, Mr. F . 's MIER, an Englifh melien• ger, arrived with difpatches to his Excellency Mar quis CORNWALLIS. A Court-martial has fat for tome days at the Barrack, upon an officer of the City of Dublin Militia. Colonel Coors is the prefident. A number of recruits for the Weft York Fen• cibles arrived on Sunday from England. Enfign M—, of the 32d regiment, quartered at Bridgwater, lately eloped to Gretna-green with the daughter of his Colonel; on Monday Jail they returned, when the bridegroom was put under an arreft, for leaving his corps without leave, for which he is to be tried by a Court Martial. The India Company by the Monthly Overland difpatch of Tuefday, received the molt gratifying accounts of their tobacco farms in the Northern Circars ; the produce is of the bell quality, and the plantations are competent to the growth of any re. quired quantity. We have repeatedly mentioned the fuccefsful culture of Hemp in India, from whence it is highly probable we (hall derive a fupply adequate to our confumption, and at infinitely lets expence than at . prefent. Several experiments were lately made, by order of the Supreme Government, with hemp, the growth and inanufaCture of Chittagong, on board tome (mall veffels trading to the Wands in thofe teas, and otherwife, and the refult has been fuel as to confirm the Company in the projed of greatly extending the culture of this article. The cattle and effals of feveral of the adherents of Vizisa ALLY have been confifcated, and the amount diftributed amongft thofe perfons who have fuffered by their depredations in the neighbour hood of Benares--the RAJAH of JUANPORE iE amongft the number. The RAJAH of REELING has iffued a confidera ble coinage of filver rupees. The fovereignty of Rekling is neither hereditary nor eledive, but pot: felled by whoever is able and willing to take it— the prefent RAJAH inherits all the tyranny of his predeceffors, but his policy leads him to cultivate a good underftanding with the Englifh. Our late accounts from Aleppo 'late, the Arab tribe of Whabee has created in that neighbourhood, and at Bufforah, confiderable alarm, by tome hof tile movements on the borders of the Defart. There diftriets continued to be infefted by a numerous and daring banditti, and all• commercial inter courfe, excepting by powerful caravans, was in confequence fufpended. The Chinefe Tallow-tree has been carried to Bengal, where it is cultivating with every profpeCt of fuccefs. The vaR houfe nearly completed by Ardafeer Dady, on the touch front of Malabar Hill, at Bom bay, fuddenly fell in, by which 25 perfons loft their lives, and a much greater number badly wounded. We underftand, that with the concurrence of the Eaft India Company, Marquis W1LL231.62 has ellabliflied a Univerfity at Calcutta, upon an extenfive fcale, and regulated upon the moft ufe ful principles. It will contain profefors for the ancient languages, with the Perfian, Hindoo, &c. and for every branch of fcience and literature.— The profefors are to be obliged to read leCtures • in their refpeEtive departments. As the Univer fity will comprehend the different objets of civil and military education, the young men tent out from this country in both departments will be bound to attend. There are to be public exami nations yearly, and a diaribution of prizes to the pupils who excel. FICLD Aariccsay.—ln the year 1776, Lord Vifcount Townsme', the Matter General of the Ordnance, completed fome of the Britifli Battalion Guns with Limbers and Ammunition Boxes, upon the principle of the Hanoverian Field Artillery, by which means thole Pieces could accompany in fantry with so rounds of ammunition when drawn by three horfes : and when five horfes were em ployed, rapid movements could be made with four artillery men, 74 rounds of ammunition, and an apparatus to draw the gun through rivers, to dif embark it upon an enemy's coall in a rough lea, and to get it up the ileepeft cliffs that an infantry Soldier can climb. In the year 1777, the KING was pleafed to fee a light Six-Pounder difembarked from a flat boat, and drawn up a perpendicular bank upwards of 65 feet high ; the Gun was taken out of the boat and got up ready for anion, with 74 rounds of ammu nition, in 25 minutes, without any other aflillance than the detachments belonging to two Guns. On the gth January, 1782, a light Six-Pounder Battalion Gun, drawn by five common ccmtraft bodes, and attended by a fpare Limber drawn by three of the fame kind of honks, carried eight ar, tiller y men, and too rounds of ammunition, from I Charlton, in Kent, to Croydon, in Surry, at the Irate of feven miles an hour, although there was a heavy rain and a high wind blowing direly in the face of bodes aad drivers.
