June 17. We have advice that the Resolution and
Diicovery had arrived at Mackow, and we are ex
tremely sorry to add, that Capt. Clarke, who fuc
cceded Capt. Cook in the command, is also dead, af
ter having made many ufeful difeoveries in the course
of his navigation, and in regions which he visited.
parable injuries which had taken place," he only fe
derally replied, " That he had not forefeen thufe ef
fects in all the degree to which they had extended,
did not mean them, and was sorry for them." But
againlt this it was urgec, " Why did he, in all his
letters, convey an implied approbation of these dil
turbances, if such were his ditpolition of mind as he.
then represented." His Lordship made no good an
swer to this home put oblcrvation. Alter he had un
dergone an examination of upwards of an hour at St.
James's, he was then carried to the Horse-Guards,
where Lord Amherst fat in his capacity of Command
er in Chief, and proceeded to a farther scrutiny into
this dark and diabolic I business. Here farther tefti
mot.y appeared ; several persons were brought who
swore to ertain exprJiions of a molt inflammatory
tendency indeed, which had been used by his Lord-
Ihip on the day winn the petition was originally pre
sented to the Home of Commons; his harranguing
the mob from the lobby of the House was dwelt up
on, and his expressions with relpeCt to Mi. Burke par
ticularly swore to. His preparations for immediate
departure into Scotland, as soon as ever the poliibihty
of farther mifehief was precluded by the imerpofitiou
of the military, was alio proved as a collateral cor
roboration of the nature of his views, and at about
eight o'clock his examination finally closed.
No perlons whatever are permitted to visit Lord G.
Gordon in the Tower; his brother Lord William,
and a friend with him, are said to have been there on
Sunday last ; his Lordfliip appeared at the window of
his apartment, from which a reciprocal falutc took
place.
Lord G. Gordon was last night in perfect health,
but remained a close prisoner, not being permitted
the use of pen, ink, or paper.
On Saturday fume of the Committee belonging to
the Protestant Association waited on Lord North, and
were politely received, offering, if they had done any
thing contrary to the laws of this realm, to lelign
themselves up. And we are happy to find his Lord
fliip told them, no charges whatever were deligned to
be brought against either the Secretary, Committee,
or Association. This, it is hope,, win help o abate
the wrath that has been poured on the AHociators in
general. They also Thewed his Lordfliip the copy of
a letter designed to be printed, fitting the matter in
a true light, and which received his Loruilnp s ap
probation.
The following advertisement was published yester
day by the Protestant Association: " The Protestant
Association think it their duty, as loyal lubjeCts and
members of civil society, in the most pubnc manner,
to disavow any connection with thole lawlcfs rioters,
who have for several days pad, under pretence ofop
poling popery, and promoting the tuccels of the pro
testant petitions, committed the molt flagrant and
dreadful depredations in and about the metropolis.
They cannot but feel the deepest concern tor the dis
tress that has been brought on many individuals by
such unprecedented and illegal proceedings; and hcic
by publicly declare their utmost abhorrence of such
atrocious conduct. By order of the Committee,
JAMBS FISHER, Sec."
The only similar infurreCt ons and tumults in any
refpeCt comparable to the present, in the annals of
our history, are those in Richard the Second's days,
,377, under Wat Tyler and Jack Straw ; and in the
reign of Henry the Sixth, under Jack Cade. The
firft was supposed to be carried on by above 50,000
rioters for many days, when every outiage of burn
ing and deftru&on was committed, until the rebel
himfelf was at last dispatched by William Walworth,
the then Lord Mayor of London.
As the insurance offices are not obliged to make
good the loss occasioned by the rioters in the many
houses they have set on fire and entirely destroyed,
with their furniture, it is proper to inform the pub
lic in general, and particularly those unfortunate peo
ple who have luffcred by such outrageous proceed
ings, that the county in which they reside is obliged
to make good any loss or damage by fire, or ut^cr
ways, which Ihall happen by an invasion, foreign e
nemy, or any military or usurped power whattoever.
