Yesterday morning, John Wilkes, Efy at Chamberlain of
London, waited no Sir G. B. Rodney, at his'houfe in Albe
marle-ftreet, with the honorary freedom of the city in a gold
box. He was attended by fcveral other gentlemen, and they
were all very politely received. Sir George Rodney intended
intended to gave gone into the city, and taken up his freedom
as a citizen of London, in the fame manner as Admiral Vernon
did; he was prevented by hi; indisposition, but will, as soon
as he is well, go through the forms, and become a real free
man of the city of London.

Ambufcade' Juno
Alarm Narcissus
The above squadron is said to be dtftined for the Weft-Indies."
November a\. They write from Hanoverthat another body
of the troops of that electorate, exclusive of the troops in the
East-India Company's service, are ordered to be in readiness
to embark for America on the firft notice.
November 22. Advice is receiv d from Bergen, in Norway,
that the Dutch flips which lay there have taken out their car
goes, being obliged to winter there, as there are no men of
war arrived from Holland to convoy them home; and they
Have received intelligence that if they had failed there were
privateers cruizing In the north sea ready to intercept them.
INTELLIGENCE EXTRAORDINARY from PARTS.
THE Grand Monarque, with his Royal Consort, and a few
favourite Lords am' Judies of the Court, were lipping their
coffee in one of the private appartments at Versailles, when a
loud huzza ^faulted their ears.
The Swiss guards curled up their whiskers, and fixt their
Bayonets—the Duke D'A entered the apartment—a courier
is arrived from Brest and plcafe your Majesty, said the Duke
D'A . And what's the news, interrogated the Grand Mo
narque ?—
The combined fleets, answered the Duke D'A , are in
the English channel—the Grand Monarque smiled —his Royal
Consort fm[led —all the Court failed, except Count de Guig
nes, who had been Ambassador to Great Britain—Count De
Guignes Jhook bis bead.
A second huzza, and a second courier from Brest—The
combined fleets are burning Plymouth, said the Duke D'A—,
the Grand Monarque laughed —his Royal Consort laughed, anti
all the Court laughed — Count De Guignes laughed in bis Sleeve.
A third huzza, and a third courier from Brest—The Eng
lish Weft-India fleet is captured with their convoy, said the
Duke D'A , the Grand Monarque grto^/—his Royal Con
sort grinned —all the Court grinned —Fudge !—faid Count De
Guignes to himfelf.
Count De Guignes was guilty of a breach of Court Etiquette
in faying fudge at a time when be should have grinned: for at
the Court of Vcrfailles, when the Grand Monarque /miles,
laughs, grins, figbs, fobs, cries, &c. all the Court are bound,
by the laws of French faflrion, to sympathize, or pretend to
Sympathize, with the Grand ' Monarque; so that at Court every
thing appears to operate upon the senses and paffmns of the
fubjed exactly as it operates upon the senses or passions of the
Grand Monarque -conversation is echo and chorus cho
rus and echo.
While the Grand Monarque was laughing, M. La S-—
came in drowned in tears M> La S—— had just loft his
HOUSE of COMMONS of IRELAND.
Friday, November 2.
AFTER the Committee of Accounts adjourned, fcveral
paners were called for, and petitions presented, when upon a
motion that Mr. Eden fhouk! be added to the C(mmittee ap
pointed to prepare heads of the Habeas Corpus Bill, Mt. Eden
zirofe to explain his sentiments on the fubjed. He run Shortly
into the nature of the British Acts of Charles 11. on the fubjed,
mid to the parts that were necessary to be adopted in Ireland.
He said, that from the usage of Ireland, which was the com
mon law of the realm, and from the conduct of the Judges,
the Habeas Corpus was in operation there, though not under
the authority of itatute ; and that he Ihonld be happy in having
that security to our liberties established by a positive Law,
whth only depended upon the force of ctiftom; aud^he was
the more desirous to be joined with the committee for intro
ducing this Bill, as he understood that the Honourable Baro
net, who moved for it, had introduced ^ clause, granting a
power to suspend its operation in cases of actual rebellion and
invasion in Great Britain or Ireland; such a clause he thought
of real benefit and advantage to Ireland, and with the annexa
tion of such a clause to the Bill, he would give it his support,
and hope for its final success. He congratulated the able and
learned Recorder upon his Bill. He would not tear the laurel
from his brows. He had won, and entitled bimfclf to wear it;
he would only strive to preserve its leaves from fading.
Mr. Forbes' rose, and objected to the idea of such a clause as
highly unconstitutional, and as delegating the rights of Parlia
ment to another body, which was done by the Mutiny Bill,
and which for that reason amongst others he had so strongly
opposed. The Hon. Gentleman, he said, had offered to sup
port an unconstitutional Habeas Corpus Bill, but he had said
nothing refpeding a Judges Bill, which was of as much con
sequence. Here he was called to order by Col. Conyngham,
which produced some little altercation, when Mr. Grattan got
up, and falling into the fame error, was called to order likewise.
A very warm dispute took place between Mr. Eden, Mr.
Grattan, and others, when Mr. Grattan fill proceeding, Mr.
English called him to older, and shortly after was called again
to order by Sir Boyle Roche, who obfcivedthat he made use of
language which was totally unparliamentary. Mr. Grattan im
mediately cried out, from Shakefpeafe,
“ How I could applaud thee, thou gallant-bearing Ilarry
“ But that the Name of Bravo stains the Soldier."
Upon this, Mr. English cried out, that the Hon. Gentleman's
Insolence was not to be borne with. Mr. Grattan, attacked on
all sides, felt himfelf hurt, and was thrown off his guard—Sir
Boyle whispered him—the Houle took the alarm—and, as is
usual on such occasions, was cleared; when the Speaker called
the Gentlemen to him, and infilled that the matter should
subside, which they having promised, the House adjourned to
n.xt day.
only son; but perceiving benm^ of pleasure emanating from
his Sovereign's eyes— Five le Roi! exclamed Monsieur La S —;
the smile of his Sovereign exhaled his tears, and apparently
Monsieur La S forgot his son.
The countenance of the Grand Monarque is the barometer
and thermometer of his Court The mercury and f,trits of
tifc French courtiers rife and, 11 by its influence.
A fourth huzza, and a fourth courier fiom Breft#-Cor^e was
taken ahd destroyed.
A filth huzza, and a fifth courier from Brest Admi al
Darby was defeated, and eight Englilh fail of the line were
bringing into Brest harbour.
A sixth huzza, louder than any of the former—Guichen
himlelf was arrived at Verfailles—Guichen threw himfelf upon
his knees before the Grand Monarque—Rife Guichen, said
the Grand Monarque, taking Guichen by the right hand—
Rife Guichen, said the Grand Monarquc's Confort,,taking
Guichen by the left hand—every courtier, m le and female,
followed the royal example ; each took hold of a part of Guicheir
to raise him up—Lucetta the Queen's favourite caught hold
of Guichen by the queue.
The Grand Monarque threw himfelf upon Guichen's neck—
my hero ! my soldier ! said the Grand Monarque, you are
welcome—Let a crown of laurels be prepared for him—The
chief Gardener Hew to cut the laurels—Let him have my belt
diamond ring—l he grand Almoner flew to the jewel office—
Let a peuEon ip made out for him—The Lord High Treasurer
flew to the trejfury.
For this day, Did the Grand Monarque, Guichen shall fit
in my presence ; and hr placed Guichen upon a feat.
The courtiers would have kissed his feet —
And you have destroyed Plymouth, said the Grand Monarque,
Thaking Guichen's hand.
No Sire! answered Guichen.
The Grand Monarque let fall his und^r jaw —the Grand
Monarquc's Consort let fall her under jaw —ail the Court let
fall their under jaws.
But you have taken the English Weft-India fleet, with their
convoy, said the Grand Monarque.
No, Sire, answered Guichen.
The Grand Monarque flared and.farted —the Grand Mo
narque's Consort fared and furfo—all the Court ^/^ and
farted.
You have, however, taken and deftroye'd Corke, said the
Grand Monarque.
No please your Majesty, answered Guichen.•
The Grand Monarque roll'd bd eyes —his Royal Consort rol
led her eyes —all the Court rolled thef eyes.
Well, Guichen, said the Grand Monarque, the grand fleet
of England is defeated, and you have brought eight fail of their
men of war into Brest la bour.
No, Sire, answered Guichen.
The Grand Monarque bit his under so—his Royal Consort
bit her under lip —allthe Court bit their under li r s.
And where is my Weft-India fleet ? and where is the Fnglifh
WcfhJnd.a fleet? and where is the English grand fleet? and
where isthe Spanilh fleet ? said the Grand Monarque.
Alas! answered Guichen, your Mfefty's Weft-India fleet
are on the Atlantic Ocean—the EngliL Weft-India fleet arc by
this time at home—the English grand fleet arc in their channel —
and the Spanifli fleet are gone to Cadiz.
And you may go to the Devil! said the Grand Monarque,
bouncing from his feat in a rage, and, frowning upon Guichen,
he left the room—The Grand Monarquc's consort followed
the errand Monarque; frowning on Guichen —all the Court
oliowed the Grand Monarque frowning on Guichen. —Guichen
was left a'one.
