It remains for them refpe&fully and finally to fay,
that if the abuses or former parliaments do not inspire
a distrust of thole which are to come—if the venera
ble opinions of thole illustrious men who are now no
more, and the assistance cf those whose present la
bours co-operate with you in the fame pursuit—have
no influence to awaken your fears, to animate your
hopes, and to invigorate your efforts :—this, and
every other endeavour, must fink into oblivion; and
you will shortly repose in indolent acquiefcehce, un,

The accounts of the present drought in France,
are truly singular. In the internal provinces of that
kingdom, not only ponds and lakes are dried up, so
that the peasants are in want of drink for their cat

P E T-ERSBURGH, Jan. 18.
IT is now near a year since the Empress had the
happiness to fee a part of Georgia added to her
empire, by the proceeding of Prince Heraclius, who
resigned bis dominions to her, submitting to the Im
perial crown. The day before yesterday her fatisfac
tion was completed, by Imirette being yielded also to
her by Prince David, who governed that part of
Georgia, and had succeeded his uncle Prince Solomon.
As soon as his uncle was dead, Prince David, now
czar of Imirette, lent three deputies, to,announce
formally to her Imperial Majesty hi^ accession to the
throne of Imirette, and his intention to yield up his
government to her will and protection. On the 9th
of this month they had their firft audience, and dis
charged the business they came upon in a short for
mal speech, to which a faitable answer was returned
by the Vice Chancellor, Count Oftermah, in the
name of her Imperial Majesty. They then delivered
their master's letter to her Imperial Majesty, and had
the honour to kiss her Majesty's hand ; after which
they had audiences of the Grand Duke of Russia, and
the Grand Prince Alexander. Next day they were
magnificently entertained at the expence of her Ma
jelfy. This acquisition adds new strength to her em
pire, and glory to her reign, already distinguished by
the important conquest of the Crimea, without a blow
being struck.

THE
Non omnis moriar, J. Underwood, 1733.
When the grave was filled up, and the turf laid
down, the fix gentlemen who followed him to the
grave sung the last stanza of the 20th ode of the 2d
book of Horace. Every thing was done according to
his desire ;no bell tolled-—no one was invited, but
the fix gentlemen; and no relation followed his
corpse ; the coffin was painted green, according to his
direction, and he was laid in with all his clothes on.
Under his head was placed Sanadon's Horace, at his
feet, Bentley's Milton; in his right hand a small
Greek testament, with an infeription in gold letters.
In his left hand a little edition of Horace, with his
infeription— Mufc Amicus, % U. and Bentley's Ho
race was placed under his podex."
& After the ceremony was over, they went back to
his house, where his sister had provided a very hand
some supper; the cloth being taken away, the gentle-
difpofmg of them : but the canal of Bourdeaux, be
tween San Santoinge and Chateau de Mir, is so low,
that barges cannot pass. The fruits of the earth arc
dried up; and they have a dismal profiled of grail
and the vintage, unless rain falls shortly.
In Italy, Spain, and Piedmont, there are similar
complaints, except in the provinces on the sea coasts,
where the dews are so copious, as to supply the placs
of Ihowers.
A letter from Newcastle, upon Tyne, dated May
9, fays, “ Early this morning our town was greatly
alarmed by the 12th regiment (now quartered here)
beating to arms. We learn, there is a very nurrie
rous mob assembled at Sliields, to the very great ter
ror of the town and its neighbourhood; and, if re
ports fay true, the ! 2th regiment, though one of the
completed in Europe, will find it a very difficult talk
to quell the riots existing at Shields and Sunderland,
where we understand upwards of four thousand per
sons are tumultuously collected, which makes us fear
there will be a deal of blood shed, previous to the re
turn of the 12th regiment. Immediately on their;
marching into Shields, the riot aft was read, to which
very little attention was paid; and we are forry,to
add, that there is little doubt, but before this reaches
you, many lives will be loft. Four companies of dra
goons are hourly expected here from York.
Since sealing this, we are informed, that abot@
sixty of the riotors at Shields are killed, and mor^
Avounded.”
A member (of the British Parliament) who from
principle constantly votes with the present virtuous
minifttr ! woo seems, as it were, railed up to save
them from total ruin ! fays, ' That the American ft
'gitives (or lo^lifts as they stile themselves) hold a
‘ very high tone in all their writings and demands up
6on the nation. When it is considered how very in
-6 ftrumental they were to Lord Norm's accursed war;
' that disunited the colonies from this kingdom, and
6 thereby deprived the world of feeing the fineft em
c pire the fun ever shone upon ; and now that our
6 brethren there are become an independent nation—
-6 peace established thereupon— and while his Majesty,
'in all publick transactions, styl e them " his 'good
' friends the United States of America, these incen-.
6 diaries, in all their menacing publications, are call
-6 ing them rebels) rebel states, &c. may not such pub
' lications be considered as an insult to his Majesty,
6 and to his government? Do these idle pensioners
'think to bully the nation, or ministry, into a com
' pliance with their demands?'
Very full inttrudions are preparing to be sent to
the Epglifh Ambassador at Madrid, to accommodate
the affair which has happened on the Mufquito-ffiore
with the Spanish Ministers, and to afire the Catho
lick King, that If after an impartial inquiry, the dis
turbances appear to hare originated with the Britifli
settlers, they shall be remedied, insisting that the King
of Spain observes the fame conduct towaids the Britiffi
fubje&s.
SINGULAR FUNERAL.
Whitdefea. " Last night was buried here Mr.
John Underwood, of Naffington : He was brought to
the grave at ”, and as soon as the burial service was
over, an arch was turned over the coffin, in which
was placed over his breast a final! piece of white mar
ble, with this infeription:
