MADR I D, March 21. :
AUTHENTICK letters from Tunis announce,
that the plague makes the most violent ravages
there. Eighty thousand persons are already
dead of it, in that city alone ; and three hundred thou
sand, at least, in the country.
LOND O N, April 15.
The learned Dr. Lind, F. R. S. has lately made
trial of medicine which has effectually and instantly
removed the gout from the stomach in five different
patients. The medicine is the Vitriolic Ether, a tea
spoon full of which Dr. Lind gives in an ounce of
camphorated julep, with half ah ounce of pepper-mint
water.
The fafhion now is, a large horse for a little man ;
both are cut and Shorn close, so that the equeftrian
and his beast look like a steeple and a jack-'daw. The
ladies have got red flockings, in imitation of mag
pyes; and bonnets that resemble that bird's nest.—
There is no one to lead the fafhion this season, and
so every body sports their own whim and fancy.
At Coach-Maker's half, Foster-Lane, Cheapfide,
this evening the following question will be debated :
" Are not more women made abandoned, by the con
tempt of their own sex, after the flighted deviation
from virtue, than by the inconstancy of the men ?"—
The chair to be taken at eight o'clock. Ladies and
gentlemen admitted at 6d each.
A literary phenomenon has, for some time past,
engrossed the attention of the polite circles at Bath:
A poor woman (Mrs. Yearfley) about the age of 30,
who has from het childhood been employed as a
milk-woman; but who, notwithstanding, has found
opportunities of improving herfelf by a few works of
the best English poets, to such a degree, that she has I
written several ingenious pieces in prefe and verse.—- I
The primate of Ireland, the biShop of Salisbury, the|
Hon. Horace Walpole., Mr§. Montague, and other!
diftinguifhej characters, have taken this extraordinary 1
genius under their patronage, and are raifrag fubferip
tions for fettling her in a boarding-school, for which
her talents have entirely qualified her.
The following, we are allured, is a faCt :—About
three years since a fherifT's officer and his follower
@rrefted a gentleman of the navy at Portsmouth, but
were soon after seized by a party of sailors, and car
ried on board a transport [hip, being charged with
having deserted from the Conqueftadore man of war,
at the Nore. In spite of their remonstrances they
were taken to the coast of Africa, and enrolled in an
independent company, where they continued till the
conclusion of the war. The bailiff lately found his
way home, and has brought an action against the
officer, which will probably occasion some curious in
vestigations in Westminster-hall.
, A Short time since a person was difniiffed from the
custom-house, owing to some dispute; and soon after
his dUmiflhl he petitioned the board, stating, that if
they would replace him, he would point out how a
saving of 60001. per annum might be made, without
any injury to the publick business. The Commiffion
'ers pledged themselves to reinstate him, on condition
of his proving the allegation set forth in his petition ;
on which he addressed them as follows:
" Gentlemen,
" There are nine of you, each receiving a salary
of 10001. per annum ; seldom more than three of you
attend, and the business might with care be done by
three; therefore my plan is, to dismiss fix Qf you,
which would be a clear saving of hoopla
The above Simple prescription has instantly relieved
the complaint, when ufquebaugh, brandy, opium, and
other medicines commonly used, had failed; it Was
found also efficacious when no other medicine had
preceded itg exhibition. As this practice, mentioned
by some writers, is far from being generally known,
Dr. Lind communicated it to Sir Joseph Banks, who
has occasioned it to be published, for the. benefit of
those afflicted with that dangerous and painful dis
order. > » t ..

On Monday lafi arrived at New-York the flip Men
tor, Captain Nicholl, in eight weeks from Lon
don; and the foip Nancy, Captain White, a!fo
from London, via Halifax ; by whom we have re
ceived the following particulars :
L ON D O N, May to.
The following petition was yesterday presented to the
House of Commons, by George Deippfler, Efq.^
To the Honourable the Knights, Citizens, and
Burgesses, in Parliament assembled.
The Petition of the undersigned agents for the Ame
rican Loyalists, in behalf of themselves and their
Constituents,
Humbly Sheweth,
THAT your Petitioners are fubje&s of the British
Empire, and in common with their fellow-citizens,
entitled to its protection and justice.
, That by the immutable principles of natural equi
ty, and the fundamental laws of all civil Societies, the
expences, burthens and facrifices, neceflary to the
common benefit and fafety, ought to be equitably
borne by all the citizens, in a just proportion.
That the duties of allegiance and protection, which
form and Support the union of Society, are reciprocal
between the fubjeft ard sovereign, and mutual con
siderations for each other; and tlierefore the fubje&
who fulfils his duty of allegiance in times of publict
danger, is cCT^inly entitled to publick protection anZ
indemnity.
Those who pretend to be in the secret, positively
affirm, that certain advices have been received from
the continent, of peace being concluded between the
Emperor and Holland; or, which comes to the fame
thing, that the principal conditions are fettled to the
mutual fatisfa&ion of both parties ; they add, that of
ficial information of the treaty being Signed is hour!
expected, and that the publick may depend on being
in a short time gratified with an authentick copy of
the Articles.,
The depredations made by the Algerine pirates will
soon be so notorious, as to convince the other powers
of Europe, that instead of laughing at the Spaniards
for their attempts to extirpate a detested- race of pi
rates, they will find it their interest to assist them in
this undertaking. And as the cause would not be that
in which a nation was involved by the caprice of mo
narchs, or the intrigues of Ministers, but the cause
of justice and humanity, there is no reason to doubt
their success. , . ;
May 5. By the mails from Holland we learn, thai
the ultimatum of the Court of Lisbon refpeCling the;
Irish trade, and explanation of the Methuen treaty,
is expeded by their Portugal merchants in the be
ginning. of June : when, if all obstructions existing
against any of the manufactures of Ireland, not in
force against those of Britain, or the most favoured
nation, are done away, the additional duties laid this
session by their Parliament on the fruits and wines of
Portugal, will of course subside, they being only con
ditional imposts. {
The Irilh people in general insist, that they should
import ten times the quantity of Manchester good©
they do at present, if the heavy duties were taken
off—fo widely different are opinions on this head 011
the two different sides of the water.,•
Establishing a permanent fund of a million yearly
for the purpose of reducing the national debt, gives
tiniverfal fatisfa&ion ; it is a measure of wisdom, and
proves this fad, that it has the approbation of his
Majesty. ,
It is now the opinion of many moderate and well
informed politicians, that without a general union of
parties, no Minister can stand longer than two feffions<
Lord Thurlow is said to have given it as his opinion,
that.no Minister could long withstand Mr. Fox.—.
What pity that such abilities, instead of being profit
tuted to the yileft interests, cannot be employed to
the advantage of the country !
'I he East-India Company are buying up all the tea
in Europe, at Lisbon there are very considerable,
quantities, which will Shortly find their way to Eng
land.
