Binding, fronting the Title Page, my Coat of Arms, viz.

endeavour to make its Way there, Un efs it should by Mis
take take the Road to Brobdignagg ; in either of the above
Cases, the Subscriber would be much obliged to any Per
son to flop and convey it to him or the Printer hereof, and
they Shall receive Two Dollars Reward ; indeed rather
than not have it returned ht would give Five Pounds, al
though the intrinfick Value does not exceed Seventeen

THE
Yesterday Lord Sandwich introduced Capt. Wapade, of
the Experiment man of war, just arrived from Rhode-
Island, to his Majesty, who conferred the honour of
Knighthood on him.
February 24. On Saturday, at 10 o'clock, came cn Dr„
Dodd's trial, at the Old Bai.ey. He came to the bar,
leaning on the arm of the Rev. Mr. Butler; pale, weak,
and in an universal tremour, he excited the compassion
of the whole Court. Lord Chefterfield was present, and
examined. The evidence was clear, and Mr. Justice
Wills, in futiiming it up, made use of every merciful ob
servation in his power. The Jury withdrew, and in tert
minutes returned. The verdift being demanded, Mr.
Elliot, the foreman, was a few moments 'unable to fpeak^
tears prevented his utterance ; but he was obliged at length
to pronounce, the fatal word ! The rest rtf the jury were
equally diftrefred, and the wretched convict funk down,
until supported by his friends. At this awful, melancholy
period, while a thousand hearts bled, one infernal spirit, in
the left hand gallery, rejoicing in human thifery, elapt his
impious hands ! General indignation soon checked his in
human joy, and the savage was obliged to depart, followed
by the abuse of the whole assembly. In the evening the
Jury presented a petition, recommending the Doctor to the
royal mercy ; it was received with great fatisfa&on, and
backed by the Aldermen Sir Charles Afgill, Wooldridge,
Plomer, and Newnham, who all applauded their humanity.
One evening last week a master of the ceremonies of *n
assembly not many miles north-weft of the metropolis, fate
a plump pair of Cork rumps lying in the middle of the
room, after the conclusion of a cotillion by a buckforae city
party ; As many enquiries as decency would permit were
made after the owner, but all in vain, though the losing;
party was guessed at, by a visible decrease of bulk from a
certain lady's outre to her exit.-—^o one owning the well
turned expletives, they were hung over the fire-place at the
head of the room, by order of the master of the ceremo
nies, that the real owner may know where to apply for
them, when the gets the better of her present emtarrafr
ment.
The following is an authentick lift of the officers of the

In the next picket tor New York, the following 'paffen
gers will go out, the Rev. Dr. Miles Cooper, President of
the College of that city, John Watts, Esq; and several

. Goffeort, Feb. at. Arrived at Spithead his Majesty's ship
Asia, Capt. Vandeptit, from Rhode-Inland, on board of
which came General Clinton.^
London, March 4. The offer which Dr, Franklin has
made to the Codrt of France, by order of Congress, is
to cede Canada to that crown; the Floridas to Spain,
to allow the importation of all forts of French manu
fa&ufes duty free, into all their ports ; to supply the Weft
lndia islands of France with provifiona and lumber at fixed
rates, full 20 per cent- cheaper than they ever were before;
and to assist France effediially in the conquest of the Bri
tish Wert-Indies. Letters from France advise, that these
propositions have been agreed to without much difficulty,
but the return for them has not been so easily fettled.
Dr. Franklin demanded a declaration of war against Great-
Britain, and a French army of 29000 men to assist the
Congress; but this has been frittered down to a fleet of
ten fail of the lirie to be manned by the Americans,
500,000 louidores, and arms, artillery and ammunition
for an army of 40,000 men, to be lodged at Martinico at
the expence of the French. This was the last Rate of the
Negotiation which Lord Stormont sent over; but there
have since arisen mans appearances which speak an imme
diate war._
THE motions of the Austrian and Prussian armies,
are so marked, and serious, that there cannot he a
doubt of a war approaching : the mercantile people,
who upon those occasions are the most quickfighted of any,
are making arrangements in the Prussian dominions, which
shew their apprehensions; for the orders last given from
Hamburgh for Silesia linens, went back unfatisfied, a new
price being fixed, as the difficulty of getting thera was cx-<
petted to increase very soon So imp< ^ir^d^lhxv^ver,
is the Prussian cabinet, that there is not the finalleft ratio
nal conjecture concerning the object of that war, which
there is every reason to believe will soon break out.
General Clinton has had several private conferences with
the King upon the cohdu<ft of the last campaign, and has
strongly assured the King, that if the Americans are well
supplied with arms, ammunition and artillery by France,
they will be able to make a very effective resistance next
campaign, Unless General Howe has a force of at Icaft
50,000 men. ,
His Majesty said but little on General Clinton's account
of the late condti& of the Hessians; but very expressively
shook his head, when he was informed of the nature and
full particulars of the ambufeade into which they fell.
The loss of the Hessians, and the immediate advantages
arising to tht Provincials, although circumstances of seri
ous consideration, are extremely light when compared to
certain suspicions which have been suggested to government.
Should the Hessians have aded upon treacherous principles,
in that circumftante there is no knowing where or how fa
tally such faithlefs policy may end, and it requires the
exertion of the utmost wisdom to defeat their intentions.
Lord Thomas Clinton will fail to America in three
weeks with his relation General Clinton, to whom his
Lordihip is appointed aid-du-camp.
