A letter from Whitehaven, dated May 7, fays,
" The weather Rill continues to be uncommonly
severe ; on Sunday the hills in Scotland were ob
served to be covered with Snow, which had fallen
the preceding night ; and yesterday morning a great
deal fell in this neighbourhood
A coirefpoudent informs us, that however ex
traordinary the weather may seem at this advanced
season of the year, we have but a neighbour's ffiare
of the worst th it has ever been remembered in molt
parts, even of the Southern and midland countries
of Europe. In that fine climate, the kingdom of
Naples, the clergy and people have made religious
processions, and publick prayeis are celebrated dai
ly, to obtain the blessing of seasonable weather In
the province of Grenada and Andalusia, in Spain,
they have had severe frofts, which have almost ru
ined their olive tree: nor is their corn in a much

r H THE people having begun to murmur at the
H excessive price 10 which coffee had been
„ raised, the Grind Visor, in order to get
information of the reasons of fuqh aug
mentation, disguised himfeif as a peasant, and re
paired to one of the dealers in that commodity, and
being convinced that four Jews purchased it by
wholesale, to fell it by retail to whom they pleafcd
(which is rigorously prohibited by the Muflulman's
laws) he ordered them all to be arrested the next

LONDO N, May 14.
THE
Our last letters from the continent advise, that
the epidemical disorder which lately broke out in
the Danish dominions, has spread so universally,
and proved So fatal in numberless families, that the
phyheians have little doubt but it is that dreadful
malady called the plague.
June 11. Ihe island of Ceylon taken from the
Dutch' lies immediately in a triangle between Ben
gal and Madras, and is very convenient to us to
have taken it with all their spices, of which they
have had none home these two years; it will there
fore dillrtiS them exceedingly, and will be very va
luable and feiviceable to us; and as we have now
taken all their Settlements in that part of the world
except Batavia, we certainly Shall be in possession
of that before we have done with them; while we
have Such a fine fleet in the c d R, and so good a
commander as Sir Edwaid Hughes, whole ton
brought home the glorious defpatches, every thing
may be exposed to go well in that quarter.

The Speech of his Grace William-Henry Caven.
dilh, Duke of Portland, Lord Lieutenant Ge
neral, and General Governor of Ireland, to both
huufes of Parliament, on Monday the 27th day
of May, 1782.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
IT gives me the utmost Satisfaction, that the firft
time I have the occasion to addiefs you, I find
myfelf enabled, by the magnanimity of the King,
and the wisdom of the Parliament of Gt eat- Britain,
to affute you, that immediate attention has been
paid to your representations. and that the British
Legislature have concurred in a resolution to re
move the cause of your discontents and jealousies,
and are united in a desire to gratify every wifli ex
pressed in your late addresses to the throne.
If any thing could add to/the pleasure I feel in
giving you these acutances, it is, that I can accom
pany them with my congratulations on the impor
tant and deceive vidoiy gained by the fleets of his
Majesty over those of our common enemy in the
" eft-indies, and on the Signal advantage obtained
by his Majesty's arms in the island of Ceylon, and
on the coast of Coromandel.
By the papers which, in obedience to his Majes
ty's commands, I have directed to be laid before
you, you will receive the most convincing testimo
ny of the cordial reception which your representa
tions have met with from the Legiflatuie of Great-
Britain ; but his Majesty, whose firft and most anx
ious wish is to exercise his roy rt l prerogative in Such
a manner as may be most conducive to the welfare
of all his faithful fubjeds, has further given it me
in command, to assure you of his gracious disposi
tion to give his royal assent to ads' to prevent the
(uppreffion of bills in the Privy-Qoundl of'this
better condition. The fame dreadful weather has
prevailed in France and Germany
advice is received from Gibraltar, that an Al
gerine vessel, which had difeharged her cargo at
that port, and had put to sea to return to Barba
ry, fell in with a Spanish man of war, within fight
of Gibraltar, was taken and carrying for Cadiz,
but in their way thither the Algerines rose upon
the Spaniards, killed moR of them, and got fafe in
to l anglers.
June 6. The dissolution of Pailiament is fixed;
but it remains a very great doubt, whether the new
Ministers will be able to create republican influence
with the people, so as to have a Parliament created
that will materially innovate the old constitution.
I he present Miniflers have it in contemplation to
give up Gibraltar to Spain, as one of the terms on
which peace is to be made. They fay all our Le
vant trade is destroyed, and that the garrison of
that Sortrefs will only be a burthen to the nation.
It was Somewhat extraordinary that the late glo
rious news was announced in the ordinary Gazette.
Ministers tried every little art to smother the no
ble commander s glory, that the order for his dis
grace might appear less culpable in the conduct of
the cabinet.
