LONDON, Jan. 2,
A letter from the Hague by the last
Mail, mentions, that the French Court
has entered into a Subsidy Treaty with
the Court of Denmark rind the Republick
of Genoa, which is to continue in force for
five yearri......
There is a certain young Lady living (or
rather miterably exiting) in this city,who
falling affeep with pins in her mouth, swal
lowed feveralofihefojwhich are now work

The following Extra& from a lake Magazine is
thought not to be unseasonable.
THE practice of duelling has of late so greatly
increased through a?moft every rank of life,
that fidler's, barbers, and shoe blocks talk of the
point of honour. When it has defee^ded so very
low, it may probably make gentlemen co sider it as
ridiculous, and prove a more effectual remedy, than
ail the reasoning that ever was urged against rt. The
only plausible excuse that can be offered in favour of
this practice is that It brings the strong and weak,
the athletic and the deformed upon a level ; that a
giant cannot insult even a pigmy with impunity,
and that, therefore, it preserves good manners and
polyenefiin feciety : But in the name cf wonder
what have lackeys, p mps and porters to do with
good manners and politeness I Common civili y is
the most they can lay claim to, or frame an idea of
and when they talk of fettling their deputes like men
of honour, they put honour to the bluffi, and turn
even valour into ridicule.
The ar. of cutting throats according to the eti
quette of good breeding, was unknown to the Greeks
and Romans, and yet they we<e not fafpeAed of
wanting courage; but they exerted it a,infl the
enemies of their country, not atainft their fellow
ci izens. This barbarous exertion of fk'll and va
lour was left for modern refinement ; aid >key who
are considered as models in sash oas and manners,
carry it to the greatest height, and regula e the va
rious degrees of an affront, with as much nice y as
a thermometer does the degrees of heat and celd.
I have been told by a gentleman, that from great
application and incessant ft dy. he had found out
the various degrees of insults, and the reparations
necessary upon every occasion, and having favoured
me with a copy, I lull lay it before your readers.
put into Torbay, arrived at the Admiral
ty, with an account of the fleet under his
Lordship's command having been diiperl
ed in a violent hurricane; and that his fliip
was the only one he knew of that put in
to Port. ,
A Gentleman of undoubted veracity so
just arrived from Spain, and affens, that
there were thirty eight fail of Spiinifh
men of war of the line riding at anchor
in Ca liz Bay, befidts frigates, when hd
left that city a few days ago.
Yesterday arrived express at Gofoort;
the Endeavour, in thirty^hree day , from
Jamaica, being dispatched by Governor
Dalling; and Sir Peter Packer, jointly,
with the difagreeabie news, t^at they had
received undoubted intelligence from L ,rd
Macartney, thar the French Were directing
their whole force against that important
island ; that they (Sir Peter Parser and
Governor Dalling) had laid a general em
bargo, flopping every vessel fiom going
out of any port, whereby upwards of fifty
fail of merchant ships and vessels, and three
frigates, designed to convoy them, were
prevented coming to England : That the
whole island was under arms ; every in
habitant and free negroe, capable of bear
ing arms, was in arms. But their misfor
tune was to have not quite fire hundred
regular troops, and only one (hip of the
line. And their greatest misfortune wa%
not to have upon the whole island above
five thousand pounds weight of bread.
So defencelefs has ths capital island been
left, and so indifferent have certain boasters
been to the real welfare of our most valu
able dependencies. Will the people of
this country neverwakeftom their lethargy.
By the above ship we learn, that Sir Pe
ter Parker has lately taken 20 failof French
Blips, bound from Cape Francois,and their
convoy confiding of two frigates.
Private letters by the Endeavour fay,
that 15,000 men are the number to go a-
gainft Jamaica.
It is the opinion of the most judicious,
thata plan is fettled between the ameri
cans and France, to secure to themselves
the possession of all our Weft India Islands;
and this is foppoted to be the partition
treaty mentioned lately in the House of
Lords, by Lord Stormont.
The didrefs of the Weft India merch
ants is inconceivable, on the news from
Jamaica, the most valuable island belong.
