Extrafl of a letter from Portsmouth, April 12.
“ Yesterday at the quarter sessions held here, a hat
ter was fined the sum of 1401. for fourteen hats fold
to one person, without proper stamps affixed to them,
that is, the stamps, which are of less value than the
law directs, were cut in two, and so artfully conceal
ed by the hat-ticket of the hatter's address being
partly placed over them, that the fraud would not
have been discovered but by one of the trade."
A lady of high rank, with a ducal alliance, in an
unaccountable paroxifm, sent for her Lord into her
AS the differences between our Republick and
that of Holland may very likely end in a war,
the utmost alacrity is using here to put our forces on
a i expectable footing ; besides the fleet under the Che
valier Emo, and that Rationed at Cofru, three more
fail of the line are ready, and will go out of port in
a few days, witu federal smaller fliips of war. There
aie besides this near 30 Sclavonian xebecks, some of
30 and 36 grins, ready to fail on the firft notice, so
that our sea forces will be in a short time in such a
state, as in case of a rupture, to annoy the Dutch
trade in the Levant very much.
S P A, April 16.
The day before yesterday a fire broke out in the
hotel of the kier Deleau, through the carelessness of
a plumber who was at work there, which in a short
time comumed 37 houses. Ihe street of Sauveniere
is but a heap of ruins. Two men perished in the
flames, and the recovery of a third is very doubtful.
L 0 N DO N, May 5.
A plan is concerting for the more speedy convey
ance of despatches over land from India; i. e. from
Bengal, through the Gurrarath; and from Bombay,
through Persia and lurky. I his butinefs has been
taken up now in the time of peace, to be prepared
for any future event.
Advice is received from Barcelona, that three
Spanish men of war had fallen in with three large
Moorish corsairs in the Mediterranean, and after a
smart engagement took them till three, carried them
into that port, and confined the ciews in prison.
According to letters from Gibraltar, by a ffiip ar
rived at Portsmouth in 22 days, the Algerines have
commenced hostilities against the British flag, by cap
ture of two ships which they have carried into port;
the English Consul at Leghorn having intelligence
thereof, made it known to comm^doie Lindsay, who
sent a sloop to enquire into the circon stances, and
to demand a restoration, but having received no an-
Rver, a second application was intended.
Extras of a letter from Paris, April 12.
d' We have accounts from Picardy, of the death of
a very extraordinary character, of the name of Cre
qui de Canape, who was possessed of a good fortune,
and lived the life of a Cynick in the country, upon
his own estate; he wore a long beard, and was most
generally dressed in the Greek manner ; he usually
lived in a pavillion, which turned upon a pivot, and
thus he could receive the light and air in what di
re&ion he pleased; he had some knowledge of me
chanicks, having some years ago invented two vessels,
which were navigated with one fail, and one person
was fufficient to manage them; in these he has been
failing in the channel several times. This singular
man was buried in his own garden, because he, on his
death bed, refufed spiritual assistance; but his friends
wished him to be allowed funeral honours in his pa
rish church, and have brought the affair before the
Parliament of Paris."
May 6. It is said that 10,000 stand of arms, 40,000
ball cartridges, and a large train of heavy artillery,
were Shipped some days ago on board an armed trans
port, destined for the Mufquito Shore.
Three regiments of soldiers are ordered to be em
barked on board merchantmen, in the course of a few
days, for the Weft-Indies.

Extra fl of a letter from Peterfiurgb, March 21^
" The Counte de Bruce, Commander in Chief at
Moscow, has informed the Court, that on the 2d of
the month, at noon, the sty being clear, Reaumur's
thermometer at 21 degrees, a very extraordinary
phenomenon was observed there. The fun Shinin*
in its greatest fplendour, appeared to be surrounded
by a very bright circle, of a moderate size. A second
larger circle interfered his disk, and in the circum
ference of that circle were seen five meteors, in form
like small funs, two of which appeared at the fide of
the real fun in such a manner, that the semi-circle
which interfered it, likewise interfered the meteor
nearest. The three other small funs were placed in
the lower part of the circumference of the large cir
cles; that in the middle was in a perpendicular line
under the fun, and the fun and the two others at a
small distance on each fide. Near the centre of the.
large circle, perpendicular under the fun, was a very
bright crescent, the horns of which turned downwards.
This phenomenon lasted till sun-set, after which it
gradually vanished; however, there remained feme
traces of the circle, as well as the collateral funs, un
til fix o'clock in the evening. According to an ac-
The defpatches received on Wednesday at the Se^
cretary of State's office, from Sir G. A. Elliott, Go
vernor of Gibraltar, contain little news, though they
are dated so late as the 20th of last month; Commo
dore Sir John Lindsay was not arrived there, the ap
pointed time of his cruise not being expired. The
Ihetis frigate had been in two or three times, which
was the only man of war that had visited them for
near two months. The Spaniards, it seems, are re
building part of the town at St. Algefiras, and all the
posts of St. Rocque thrown down during the late siege,
are nearly reinEated; the Spaniards being as busy on
their part as the General has been in repairing the
fortifications on the Old Rock..,
A letter from Amsterdam, dated April 5, fays, " It
is very true, that the reports for some time paft'have
been, and still are, much in the strain of peace, but
little dependence can be laid upon them, as the ru
mours of one day are destroyed by those of the fol
lowing. We believe, however, that the negotiations
for peace are revived with vigour at Paris, and are apt
to think they will have the desired effect, as the pow
er of the party which predominates in this country
depends upon the preservation of tranquility, and we
suppose they will Sacrifice a great deal to obtain it.
Peace at any rate suits our circumstances better than
war."
Extract of a letter from Amflerdam, March 30. %
" The states have received an account from the
Dutch Consul at Leghorn, that the Senate of Venice
has concluded a treaty of alliance, offenfive and defen
five, with the two Imperial Courts of Russia and Vi

are to keep up thirty men of war for the service of
those powers. This news is not agreeable here, con

A few days firice an attorney in the temple sent his
employer a bill to the amount of the trifling sum of
one hundred and twenty-two pounds ; the client think
ing the sum (though small) rather overcharged, ap
plied to a person properly authorized to tax such ac
counts, who made a deduction of no less than one
hundred and ten pounds, leaving a remainder of twelve
pounds only, to be paid by the client, who was per
fedly fatisfied with the reward; the more so, as' he
advanced the attorney fifteen pounds, by which means,
instead of having one hundred and seven pounds to
pay, he would have something to receive—when h^
can get it.
