N A PL E S, June 6, .
BY accounts from Sicily we learn,
that on the 19th of last month, Mount
YEtna began to difeharge a Lava from a
new mouth, between three and four miles
from its Crater. The Lava had divided
into three-branches, ,the length of which
was about a quarter of a mile in breadth ;
and had run about fourteen miles, and
had destroyed a fine wood and two vil
lages. As its dire&ion was towards Ca
tania (from which it is only about twelve
miles distant) and as it advanced a mile
in twenty-four hours, the inhabitants of
that city, so often destroyed by eruptions
ofYEtna, begin to be alarmed. The earth
quakes had not ceased, which makes it
probable the eruptions of Mount jEtna,
will still be more considerable. The in
habitants of Medina have been forced to
quit the town, and encamp in its neigh
bourhood.
<Constantinople, May 16. It appears now,
that the Ambassadors of the belligerent
powers are much disposed to second the
precautions taken by the Porte,to prevent
their privateers from disturbing in future
the neutral ships in the gyfph of Smyrna,
where tranquillity is now entirely restor
ed. We learn, that the plague continues
to carry off several people in the quarter
of the Greeks at Smyrna ; but hitherto
we,have not heard that it has manifested
itfelf here,
Leghorn, June 7. On Monday last ar
rived in our road the Wafo, an English
privateer, end has brought in with her a
(hip from Baftia, under French colours,
which he had taken, with seven French
officers, including a Colonel on board ;
there were also found in the vessel, seven
hundred and feventy.fix french silver
crowns, which the captain of the privateer
has generously reflored to the commander
of the ship, and also returned to the offi
cers every thing belonging to them.
LONDO N, July 8.
This day his Majefly went in state to
the House of Peers, and, after giving his
assent to such ads as were ready, proro
gued the Parliament, after a most gracious
fpeeeh from the throne, to the following
purport :
That it gave him the greatest fatisfac
tion to find himfelf able to determine this
long session, that they might be at liberty
to return to their several counties, and
attend to their private affairs, after so
laborious a difeharge of their duty in the
public service ; and that he took this oc
casion to express his sincere acknowledg
ments for the frefh proofs they had given
him of their affectionate zeal for the sup-
port of his government, and of their just
estimation of the real and permanent in
terefls of their country.?
That their magnanimity and perfeve
ranee, in the prosecution of this just and
necessary war, had enabled him to make
such exertions as would, he trusted, dis
appoint the violent and unjust designs of
his enemies, and bring them to listen to
equitable and honorable terms of peace.
That these exertions had already been at
tended with success, by sea and land ;
and that the late important and prospe
rous turn of affairs in North-America, af
forded the faireft profpe& of the return
lng loyalty^ard affection of his fubje^s
in the Colonies, ar,d ofc their happy re
union with the parent state.
1 That he felt himfelf under particular
obligations to the House of Commons,
for the ample supplies they had so chear
fully granted ; and that no attention
should be wanting, on his part, to render
them effectual, and to fee them faithfully
applied. £
That he earnestly recommended to the
members of both Houses to assist him, by
their influence and authority, in their
several counties, as they had done by
their unanimous support ja Parliament,
in guarding the peace of the kingdom
from future disturbances, and watching
over the preservation of the public fafery.
To make his people sensible of the hap
piness they enjoy, and the distinguished
advantages they derive from cur excellent
couftitution, in church and state. To
warn them of the hazard of innovation.
To point out to them the fatal conse
quences bf such commotions as have al
ready been excited ; and to impress on
their minds this important truth, that re
bellious rofurre^ions to resist or to reform
the laws, must end either in the destruc
tion of the persons who make the attempt,
or in the fuDverfiun of our free and hap
py constitution.
Notwithstanding many of the papers
continue to assert that Mr. Penn has re
ceived letters from his friends in America,
relative to the infurrettion (so industri
ously put forth by the fenners of Admi
nidration to answer infiduous purposes)
we have authority to contaidi& the report
totally, and to assure the public that Mr.
Penn has no letter whatever from Ame
rica, There are passengers in the ship
lately arrived from New-York (which
had only twenty-two clays paff^ge) as
well as MfoDuche, who left Philadelphia
the end of April, who heard no such re
ports, and which to all appearance, ori
ginated in Rivington's New-York Ga
zette.
