Difpatches were on Monday night, at 12 o'clock, fent off exprefs to Portfmouth, to be forwarded to the Mediterranean by the Eats ST. VINCENT Cut ter. We are lorry to (late that Capt. MARKHAM (one of the Lords of the Admiralty,) is very ill at his houfe in the Admiralty. Admiral Biatistr, in confequence of bad health, is about to return to England from the EAR Indies. Laft Wednefday four companies of the Rifle Regiment, commanded by Colonel MANNINGHAM, completed their route from Weymouth to Bletch ingtrm Barrack. Saturday laft, one troop of the 18th Light Dra goons marched from Bright:On to Lewes, to be Ra tioned for further orders. The Eaft Kent Militia, commanded by Sir Nut. 111010 , OH D'Arrit, are on their march from the Ile f Virzht for Lewes barracks. Wednefday the volunteers for the navy were paid uff and difcharged from on board the Expe dition Tender, Waterford. It is Paid this veffel, and others fimilarly employed,. will be ufed in taking back to France the prifoners who are to be given up in purfuance of one of the preliminary articles of peace. At the time the above men were difcharged, the flags at the boufes of rendezvous were Ilruck, but the ptefs•gangs have not yet been difmiffed. Some idea may be formed of the prefent extent and population of Dublin from the following cir cumftances: there are now in that city 6000 mer chants, traders, and fhopkeepers of different deno minations; of thefe there are 311 wholefale mer chants free of the 6 and ro per Cents. in the Cul tom-houfe, as regulated by At of Parliament. There are 267 principal Grocers and 1 so Bakers. Friday laft an elegant entertainment was given at Twickenham, by NATHANIEL WEBB, Efq. at which all the people of diftinetion in the neigh bourhood were prefent. Among the fafhionables were Lady Vifcountefs Hows, Lady ELIZABETH COLE, the Hon. Mr. GEORGE PETRE, &C. &C. — The charms of the treat were heightened by the exertions of Dion UM and other profeflional fingers. Lady ELIZABETH Cots, who has great mutical powers, Tung feveral airs with great tafte, accom panied by the profeffiomd fingers. Mr. BENJAMIN GOLDSP4I9, on Saturday laft, gave a fuperb entertainment to his numerous fa mily and relatives (confining of upwards 8o per fons) and a few feleft friends, on account of his con's entering the age of adolefcence, which, ac cording to the Jewifh canon, is the age of thirteen years and a day in the male fez, and twelve years and a day in the female fez ; it is ufually termed the Bar Miy'vah, i. e. a fon of the commandments ; and, according to the Jexvifh notion, the youth on that day becomes refponfible for the oblervai.ce of the ritual and Ceremonial law, and the day is ge• nerally celebrated with folemnity as well as felli vity. A temporary room was erected on the oc casion, ornamented with flowers; and the whole company, exceeding one hundred, fat down to a very elegant breakfall, confifting of the choiceft fruit, ices, &c. &c. At three o'clock they parted, to prepare for a ball and (upper in the evening, which, if poftible, were more grand than the morn ing treat. At twelve o'clock dancing finifhed— not wishing to give offence to his neighbours on the Sunday morning—and they retired to a net ol rooms, where a moll fumptuous nipper was laid out in a magnificent ftyle, with moll exquifite wines, fuch as Champagne, Hock, Burgundy, kc. kc.

A gentleman who has long pradifed the Vaccine Inoculation with uninterrupted fuccefs, having heard of the rniflakes of others, cannot refrain from thus publicly mentioning what he is certain has been their chief fource. Placing an implicit confidence in the rules laid down by Dr. JINNER, he has never taken the virus from the vaccine pithily after the Bth or 9th day, reckoning from the time of inoculation ; or at leaf' after the efflo refcence furrounding the puflule has been com pletely formed, however inviting for the purpofc the puftule might at that time appear. By ad hering rigidly to this precept, the inoculation has fucceeded admirably. No ill fymptom has been excited ; and fo perfeElly fecure from the Small pox have his patients been after it, that neither in oculation with variolous matter, nor repeated ex peffure to thofe who have laboured under the dif cafe in its molt infectious (late, has produced any ea& ; not even putting the vaccinated children to bed with others covered with it. While our neighbours, on the Continent, fo in dulltionfly avail themfelves of the means of eradi cating the Smallpox from their territories, he can not but lament our c omparative tardinefs in adopt ing the fame mealures here.—Were the Vaccine In itimi but general, we thould foon be con i:iced that the Smallpox would be known by 1 name only ; and every nation on earth w ould ha ve I caufe to rejoice at this happy dilcovery. At Mark-Lane this morning, the market was very dull, and with little variation in the prices of Monday laft. Amax or Brien.—Yefterday the Mailer and Wardens of the Company of Bakers waited on the Right Honourable the LORD MAYOR, at the Man fion Houfe, to fet the Mize of Bread ; and it ap pearing, upon a arid examination of the returns of the two Mealweighers, that between the sth and toth init. 11,975 quarters of Wheat fold at the Corn Exchange, and between the loth and 16th init. 15,262 tacks of flour, fold at the fame place, forming averages upon the whole quantities of 645. mid. per quarter Wheat, and 635. Bd. per fact- Flour, which being 9s. 9ld. cheaper is the Park of flour, his Loralhip had the fatisfaetory pleafure of ordering . the Bread to be lowered three affizes, or fixpence in the peck-loaf—to take place tomorrow. The quartern-loaf will then be fold for eleven•pence halfpenny wheaten and ten-pence houfehold. We learn that when his LcrJfhip faw the Re turns, he expreired great difapprobation at them, as he conceived fome unfair means had been em ployed to create afalfe or nominal encreafe average price. Two quartern loaves were produced be fore his Lorcithip, one of which came from New berg, and the other from Oxford, of the fineft white Sour, which colt but Bd. the loaf. His Lordflip was of opinion (as we believe every other perfon mull be) that there is a fcandalous combination fomewhere, to keep up the price of flour beyond its fair value and proportion. Wheat on Friday, in Dublin, was from 3os. to 405. the barrel, middle price 355. tod. ; oats from its. 6d. to 16s. 6d. the barrel, middle price 13s. 6d. ; oatmeal •from Its. to 16s. the cwt. middle price 12s. Bd. ; barley, from 1 ts. 6d. to 245. middle price 19s. rod.; flour from 265. to 365. the cwt. ; wheat and flour colleftively 475. the barrel, confc quently the twelvepenny leaf is two ounces heavier for the next week—fales 6466 —receipts 8562. , Citizen MALOUFT, the much celebrated oratrr of the National Airembly, and the Ready friend of his ill-fated Sovereign, is allowed by the FIRST CONSUL to return to France ; and it is thought that Bosermura, in his magnanimity, will grant him a decent provifion for life. Mr. Coons, in Richard the Third, has availed himfelf of a hint given him in this Paper loon after his fiat appearance lait feafon, in making an ad dition to the chefs of the character which the text requires, but which has hitherto been omitted. Richard (peaks of &riling on his armour, but has never appeared in armour. Coons, after the tent fcene, appears with a breaft plate and gauntlets, which confiderably improves his martial afpeet. One of his fpurs caught in the trappings of the tent, on Monday night, and threw him down, but the fall was of no confequence. One of the principal Defaulter: at the Stock Ex change went through his firft examination yeller day. There appeared gg,oool. to pay, and only 30001. on the contrary fide. The Committee were much difpleafed—a propofition was made to make up the difference equal to gs. in the pound, which was not accepted, as the Broker refufed either to give up his principals or books. The Clerk of a parifh in Scotland, being crm plained of to the Minifter, for being very free in giving people the lie, he was fent for, and reproved for it.—" Maifter," fays Jamie Wallace, " what maun I do, when fowk lee ?" " Why," rays the Minifter, "it would be mair difcreet, for inflance, to whujile." Jamie remembered this, and a few Sundays after, the Minifler, in his difcourfe, made ufe of this expreffion—" And the LORD formed man o'the clay of the yerth, and fet him on a dyke to dry." Jamie, who was fitting in his box below, on hearing this gave a loud whiffle. " Wha's that that whullles ?" called out the Minifler. "Maif ter," replied Jamie, turning up his eye, " WHA MAD{ THE DIKE ?" ALARM OF MURDLR.—A fingular eircumflance occurred in St. James's Park yetterday, which at traCled the notice of a great concourfe of people in the courfe of the day : About feven o'clock in the morning, one of the feats in the Park, oppofite the gates of the Palace, was difcovered almoft co. vered with blood, which gave rife to the fuppofition that fome perfon had been inhumanly murdered during the preceding night. This put the whole neighbourhood in motion, and after a number of perfons were colleted together, it was determined that a Surgeon o fhould be fent for to examine the blood, who came, and without much hefitation, pronounced it to be human. All eyes were then dire ted to the Canal, into which it was not doubt ed that the murdered body had been thrown ; but what moll contributed to that belief, was a little white dog, which was found fitting by the water fide, as it bemoaning his loft mailer. After fume trouble, permiffion was obtained to have the Canal dragged, and fo ferious became the enquiry, that feveral of the fentinels who had been on duty in the night, were put under arrelk, in or der to be examined touching this affair ; when a young fhopman came among the reit to view what was palling, and learning the caufe of all this buftle, foot' put an end to any further proceedings, by Rating that on the evening b:fore as he ss as palling that way, he ftw a butcher's man fet his balltet on the feat to reR himfell, which contained Iheeps' heads and plucks, and that it overfet and befmeared the place with blood, in the manner it then appeared. The moil important point being now cleared up, the next tun was to conlider what could have induced the little dog to have (luck In dole to the Canal'all the day; when it appeared that different people had given the little grateful animal (as it was called) a great plenty of provi lions, which was procured for him under the idea that he had talled all night, as well as mourned. It was no wonder therefore that the dog fhould continue to Ray where he was fo well treated. The dole of the evening difperfed the crowd, and I with it won Pompey.

On their way thither an accomplice come up, pit, as he Paid, to afk what was the matter: fufpicions arofe from his converfation, and he was alfo fe cured, and put into the cage. Immediately after their apprehenfion an exami nation was let on foot in the Church-yard, when it appeared that burrows had been made large enough for one perfon at a time to get into the vaults under the Church, and from which they had entered into eight different family vaults, be fides the main vault, and taken away the lead and furniture from eighteen coffins, many of which had . been depofited there for a great number of years, one as long fince as 1698, and others from 3o to 5o years back. The remains of the bodies were mangled and fcattered about by thole inhuman wretches in a manner too (hocking for us to wound the feelings of our readers with a recital of. Se veral of the relatives of the deceafed were prefent at the fearch, whole feelings may be eater con ceived than defcribcd. There fecms to have been a number of young lads concerned—tome fay 2o —chiefly fhipwrights apprentices, none of them more than 20 years old, and led on by the Sexton, Giles Martin, and a notorious receiver of flolen goods in the neighbourhood, to whom they fold the lead and furniture for twenty fhillings per hundred weight. Yeflerday the two young lads in cuftody, A'icolls aged 18, and Gilt: Martin, the Deputy Sexton, aged 23, were brought before JOSIAH DANFORD and PHILIP GOODHEW, FAITS. the two Sitting Magill trates, at Greenwich, for examination. The men who detected them in the Churchyard were firft heard, and gave a very circumftantial account of the fufpicions excited by the Prifoncrs' appearance, and their confequent apprehenfion, as well as pro ducing the lead taken upon him, which, on-being opened, proved to be part of a coffin of a (mall fize. Several perfons appeared, and proved the interment of bodies in the vaults, the locking them up, and their having been removed by means to them unknown, except by the holes made under the Church, apparently for that purpofe ; that the bones, &c. were ilrewed about in a very look way; and that in two or three intlances it feemed that the coffins had been cawed in two, as the col ref ponding parts of the bodies were found in oppofite direlions, particularly that of a female child lately depofited there. On this Rage of the bufinefs one of the P, ifo acts requefted - to fpcak to the Officers, when, we underftand, he acknowledged the fart; that he had been feduced to it by a receiver he named, who bought between three and four ton of lead, the produce of 4 2 coßin , , at 205. per hundred, of them. lie alfo named form: accomplices, on condition of being admitted evidence, wh;cll wr.s granted. Warrants were fent after them, and the parties te manded for a further hearing. The indignation of the populace was fir great, that the Officers could fcarcely keep them from being laid violent hands on.
