peace within any bounds, we hare thought it ne
cessary to prepare andpafs a bill with more severe
penalties, which we hope will in future deterthem
from the execution of their unwarrantable designs
and restore the public tranquility.
The hands of government being thus strength
ened, we have no doubt but your Honor will pur
sue the proper meafurcs to effect so desirable a pur
pose; and yet, that we may not seem deficient in
our duty, on so extraordinary and alarming an
occasion, which portends the greatest mifchiefs to
the province, and that those ill disposed people may
know that they are anting in opposition to the weight
of the whole government, we cannot avoid Ihew
ing ourjuft abhorrepce of their conduct, by most
earnestly entreating your Honor to give special
directions to the Magistracy, Sheriffs and other
Officers concerned in the administration ofjufticc,
to be vigilant and active in the discharge of their
duty within their refpeCtive jurisdictions, and to
exert themselves in suppressing all ads of violence,
and every illegal attempt to difpofiefs the peacea
ble inhabitants of this province, by putting the
laws in ftrid execution.
From the papers communicated by the Secre
tary we are forty to find the government of Con
necticut has given countenance to the lawless pof
feffior. of these emigrants, by resolving to prole
cute a claim not only to lands they have lately
feared themselves on, but to a great part of the
province. We do not mean, nor is it our duty to
decide on the merits of the dispute between them
and the Proprietaries. And yet we cannot help
thinking it very extraordinary that after a total
silence with refped to any claim, the most perfed
acquiefeence with the settlements made under the
royal grant of this province for the space of near
a century, and their late refnfal, when called on
by his Majesty in Council, to prosecute such claim
if any they had, we diould now find them,' of a
hidden, adopting so contrary a measure. But
what appears to us still more extraordinary, is their
declining, in their late negociations with your
Honor, after they have affomed the claim, to pro
fccute it on the merits before his Majesty in Conn -
cil, the only proper judicature where this unhappy
Controversy can be decided, as this conduct car
ries with it the appearance of a design to delay a
matter, of which the peace and tranquility of both
colonies require an immediate determination, if
not to continue their unjustifiable proceedings in
Support of their claim.
To prevent the mifebievous effeds of this un
kind and unneighbourly difpohtiop in the govern
ment of Connecticut, we beg leave earnestly to rc
queft that your Honor will pursue every effectual
measure to call the claimants before his Majesty in
Council, and to bring their claim to an immediate
decision.

Te mho amid this feverifo avorld mould mear
A body free of pain, of cares a mind;

Go climb the mountain ; from th' etherial farce
Imbibe the recent gale. The chearful morn
Beams o'er the hills; go, mount th' exulting feed,
Already, fee, the deep-mouth'd beagles catch
The tainted mazes; and, on eager sport
Intent, mith emulous impatience try
Each doubtful trail. Or if a nobler prey
Delight you more, go chafe the desperate deer;
And thro' its deepest solitudes amake
The vocal sores mith the jovial horn.

TH E fun appears: The jovial crew
Hygeia! in thy search pursue—
The sportsman Armfrong leads the van,
And views the Hunter in the Man !
Madam, your meaning's too severe
But you are something wrong I fear
Judicious folks, Physicians wife,
Extol the morning exercise—
Pronounce a chafe, at break of day,
To stir the blood, and view the prey,
To be ofmore concern in health
Than midnight labours—Thoughts on wealth.
When rouf'd by all the pleasing founds
Of early horn, and shouts of hounds,
The jovial band their sport pursue
Enraptur'd as the fox they view,
With such a joy, unknown to art,
As cordials never can impart;
They fear no sickness, know no pain.
And leap from age to youth again.
Will not the mournful hen-roost fay
One fox can eat a hen per day,
Perhaps the fineft on the farm—
Say, Madam, can a fox do harm?
But well their labour is repaid
When nature gives, their chafe, her aid.
" A gallant aft I'm sure is here,
“ And" pamper'd mortals “ ought to fear"—
By riding o'er hills, dales, and rocks,
They find their health, tho'fef a Fox.

body of H. Butzar, who died in the defence of
King Stanislaus Augustus. The cursed arrows
which were thrown by the infamous and wretched
regicides on the 3d of November 1771, to pierce
the heart of the King, he with pleasure received
in his own bread; of the fame wounds he died a
most glorious death ! For the welfare of his mo

King laments in his death the loss of so loyal and
so faithful a fubjeCt, and to immortalize this noble
deed, he erected this monument as an instance of
morality and virtue down to the latest posterity,
and likewise to the fame and honour of the de

Extras of a letter from Gibraltar, Sept. 20.
" By a French Gentleman just arrived here
from Mequinez, we learn the following account
of the rebellion which the eldest son of the Em
peror of Morocco had spirited up against his father.
The Prince was at one time the favourite of the
old Monarch, and having been educated under
some white eunuchs in the Seraglio, gained a much
greater insight into literature, and the ufeful arts,
than the Eastern Princes generally do. He was
always remarkably fond of military difcipline,and
much endeared himfelf to all the troops, especially
to the Black cavalry, which body has been the only
one the Emperors rs Morocco have placed any de
pendance upon Since those of the Negroe family
have been on the throne. With the assistance of
this body, he formed a design of dethroning his
father, and usurping the throne. Accordingly,
he gave out a report, that the Emperor's affecti
ons were estranged from him by infiduous arts,
and that his Imperial Majesty meant to imprison
him, and put out his eyes (a barbarous custom
pradifed in the Eastern Courts) in order to ad
vance a younger son. Under this pretence the
Prince fled the Court of Mequinez, and repaired
to the city of Fez, where he put himfelf at the
head of his Black troops, took poSTeffion of the
city, and was proclaimed Emperor. His father,
who was informed of his lon's intention, had col
lected a large army, with which he met the rebels
on a plain, as they were advancing towards Me
quinez, when a general engagement ensued, and
was fought a long time with great obstinacy; but
near four thousand of the rebels going over to the
old Emperor, turned the day in his favour, and
the young Priace, with a small body, fled back to
Fez. The Emperor proceeded in triumph back
to Mequinez."

In the course of last summer all the forts on the

Offers have been made to his Grace the Duke of

which, it is said, he replied, " He could not offer
so gross an indignity tothe memory of his father."
Wagers are now taken up, with considerable

A petition from Ireland, of an extraordinary

Letters, received on Tuesday from Madrid de

Arbitrary as the King of Prussia may be thought
to reign, certain it is that he is fearful of putting
any thing into execution contrary to the opinion of
his Ministers and Counfellors: As a proof of this
ever Since the close of our last war he has been
forming some scheme or other to compel England
to discharge the arrears he fays are due to him ;
but never could get the concurrence of those about
him. Now, it seems, he is bent upon seizing Ha
nover at all events, having by some Stratagem art
fully drawn from his Ministers their consent.
We have received very authentic intelligence
that the French have actually at this time in com

One Mr. Fabrigas, a resident in Minorca, on
account of some very heavy oppressions from Ge
neral Moftyn, his Majesty's Governor of that
island, last summer, brought an action against that
officer. The cause was tried before Lord Chief
Justice Mansfield, and a verdict of three thousand
pounds damages was found for the plaintiff; after
wards the defendant's council moved the Court
for a new trial, which occasioned the Governor
to be summoned before a very awful tribunal,
where the following particulars occurred:
One day last week a command was sent to the
culprit to attend immediately at Kew, his Majesty
having business with him ofthe utmost importance.
This command was immediately obeyed, and on
the ministerial officer's arrival, he Was introduced
into the royal closet, where he found Lord North
and Lord Mansfield, who had like Wife received
particular messages to attend, but were entirely
ignorant of the business on which they were sum
moned, until the entrance ofthe Viceroy gave im
mediate intimation to the noblemen, that it was or.
his account. The Great Perfonag€ soon appear
ed, and confirmed this opinion, by addrefling him
felf to Lord Mansfield in the following manner:
“ It is from you, my Lord, that we expert a
clear account of the heavy charge brought lately
against this gentleman, in one of our courts of
justice; the relations already given us have been
so partially coloured, and so indiftin&ively con
fufed, that we mutt rely on the implicit truth of
your recital, as the only means of investigating to
our own fatisfadion, a matter that so nearly af
fects ourselves, and the fafety of our fubjeds in
foreign governments. We have, my Lord, (ad
dressing himfelf to Lord North) desired your at
tendance, not alone to have the benefit of your
advice, but to shew you that we will not in the
least encourage or support any man, who, trusted
with our delegated authority, Shall use it to the
worst of purposes, that of opprefling his fellow
fubjefts. And you, Sir, (speaking to the Viceroy)
we thought proper to command your attendance,
to hear our Sincere opinion of your conduct, and
to convince you, that all reliance upon our pro
tection, assistance, or future favour is Vain, if we
find you have merited, by oppreflion and injustice,
the stigma which has been thrown on your cha
racter." Lord Mansfield then entered into a mi
nute detail of the circumstances, but eloquently
palliated the most flagrant; he recited the provo
cations given to the Viceroy, in a stile that set
them on a level with the most provoking injuries
to his person and government; in which colourings
he was more than once interrupted by Lord
North, which set them in their true light.—
When his Lordship had finished, the King de
manded his positive and real opinion, whether the
verdict given was just and adequate ? To this plain
demand, enforced by a determinate voice and ac
cent the equivocating P— was obliged to give an
affirmative reply. Lord North was then afl<ed
his opinion, who replied, that he had not the least
doubt of the justness of the verdict; that the ty
ranny and cruelty of the Viceroy were but too
palpable; though it must be confeffed, some pro
vocations were given, yet his conduct was notori
ously illegal and oppressive." “ I am afraid (conti
nued his Lordship) the gentleman's high opinion
of military government betrayed him into this most
flagrant violation of the civil power, and as to the
verdict being adequate, the injuiries sustained by
the Sufferer, no doubt, determined the jury to fix
it; yet the Viceroy's delinquency being clearly
proved, the sum given was a very inadequate pu
nishment." His Majesty thanked his Lordship for
his Sincerity, and the honesty of his opinion ; and
then, turning to the Viceroy, told him, that he
was at liberty to offer any thing in his own defence.
On which permission he gave a very drift account
of every tran faflion and laboriously endeavoured
to gloss over each circumstance. When he had
ended, his Majesty spoke to him as follows: "You
will perhaps think, Sir, that our interference is
unnecessary; but when you reflect that the power
you had, and used, we must fay so Shamefully,
originated from us, you mud allow our clear right
to fee such abuses redlified, such proceedings ' opt.
The laws of your country have in some reafuie
puniShed you; but do not tempt them too far;
you may avail yourfelf of these delays, which,
though the plague of individuals, are the fafety of
the laws; but be afTured, that our assistance Shall
be expe&ed in vain. Our continuance in favour,
or not, a future time Shall inform you." His Ma
jesty then retired, and the conference broke up.

TH E famous Doctor ADAMS,
Oculist, Auricular, &c. late of Europe,
takes this method of acquainting the ladies and
gentlemen, and the public in general, that he has
lately arrived in this city—That he cures the molt
inveterate feurvy, either in the gums or any part of
the body (which is the source of many distempers)
in the mildest, fafeft and speediest manner, without
confinement or loss of business: In like manner the
King's evil; cancers in women's breads, or any
part of the body ; leprosies ; ringworm o , or car
buncles in the face ; fiftulas ; old, malignant, or
fiftulas ulcers in the legs, or any other part; fevers,
epidemick or intercurrent ; quotidian, tertian, or
quartan agues, which he effe&ually cures in fix days
at farthest ; tympany, or watry dropsies, without
operation ; dysenteries ; inflammations of the bowels,
or fluxes of any kind; rheumatic pains in any part
ofthe body ; asthmas, or confumptiuhs, if applied
to in time ; all distempers in the eyes, either pearls,
films, rheums, or dull light, without operation or
sensible pain; deafaefs, if even confirmed; the
gravel ; flat or round worms in young or old, &c.
He cures the Venereal disease in all its stages, in a
few days, with the fafeft and mildest medicines, and
with the utmost secrecy, without confinement or
loss of business. Seafaring men can be lupplied
with fafe medicines to use on board, with all neceC
fary directions, on the most reasonable terms. The
Doctor thinks it improper to enlarge on his abilities,
which he refers to time and experience, but as a
convincing proof cf it, and for the public benefit,
he will require neither fee or reward for ary exter
nal distemper (within a mile of the city) rill the
cure is perfected. He has not been a month in this
city, and firce his arrival be has cured several per
sons, one afflicted with a fever and pains in the
limbs, another with the feurvy, another vrith the
rheumatism, loss of appetite, pain in the llomach,
and continual vopiiting, and another of the venereal
difeale, who has been under cure these nine months,
without relief, but has now been effectually cured
in ten days, and the whole time exposed to the in
clemency of the weather; these cures can be proved
by the persons afflicted, if required. The poor, by
bringing a good recommendation, will be cured
gratis. Application to be made to the Doctor, at
his lodgings at Charles Miif'C\ shop keeper, in Se
cond-street a little below (he New Market, uhere
he will give due attendance from eight o', lock in the
morning to fix in the afternoon. All letters from
the country, post paid, (hall be duly aniwered.
