Portsmouth, 10th July 1772. Joseph Whipple, Samuel Parker.

We hear that Capt. Rogers, who is arrived at Providence, left London the 22d May, when it was generally believed the Parliament would rise the Beginning of June.
L O N D O N, May 16.
HIS Excellency General Carlton, Governor of Canada, is appointed to the Command of 47 Regiment, in the room of General Lascelles, deceased.
We are credibly informed a most noble Lord has declared his intention of providing for an old Sea Officer, who, in the course of the late war, saved to Government near 200,000l. in America.
It is somewhat remarkable, that though Lord North is as young as the Duke of Grafton, his Lordship is so far from being fond of the reigning amusements of the great, that he is never seen at Newmarket, Arthur's, Almack's, Cornely's, or even the Pantheon.
The usual time allowed for the subscription to past lotteries has been fifteen days. The subscription for the present lottery was filled up yesterday in less than five hours.
The ship Alexander, John Hastie, master, arrived at Port Glasgow the 26 ult. about 270 leagues from Virginia met with a wreck of a Schooner, called the Vigorous, William Fitch master, of and from Liverpool, in Nova-Scotia, bound for St. Martin's. The Schooner had her decks carried away by the sea, and the Captain and all the hands belonging to her, had been washed overboard excepting one Ralph Norgood, who had lashed himself to one of the timbers, and before he was taken off the wreck by Capt. Hastie he had been five days in that situation, living on raw dried fish, and rain water. Part of the cargo being dried fish, brought many sharks into the vessel as she lay on her broad side.---The poor man was almost insensible when taken up, but is now quite well.
On reading the Account of Somerset the Negro and Mr. Stuart, a Correspondent observed. If I was Council for Somerset the Negro, says he, I would take up the Matter higher than any of his Council have yet done. I would urge, and I think I could prove, that he neither now is nor ever was , the Property of his Master; that the original Vender had no right to sell nor the original Purchaser to buy him; that all Mankind, as they are born, ought to live, equally free: And that the Slave-Trade, whatever the Mercantile World may urge to the contrary, is an infamous Bartering of Human Flesh and Blood; an accursed Violation of the most sacred Rights of Human Nature.
Last week the several transports in Worcester and Shrewsbury gaols were sent to Bristol, in order to be shipped for the plantations; amongst whom was Mr. B. for stealing silver spoons at an entertainment given by Sir W. W. Wynne at Shrewsbury. He went in a post chaise, and took 500l. in his pocket.
Died at Northfleet, in Kent,---Page, Esq; formerly an eminent dealer in lime stones, and gun-flints, by which, and the most penurious way of living, he had accumulated a fortune of near twelve thousand pounds. It is remarkable that he had lived alone in a large house at the above place for several years, none coming near him, but once a day an old woman in the village, who was employed to make his bed, &c. His death was occasioned by his running a knife into the palm of his Hand in opening an Oyster, which inflamed, and at length mortified: though repeatedly requested to apply to a Surgeon, he refused, saying, all that profession were rogues, and would make a job of his misfortune. From his having died without a will, his money goes to a relation who has lived with her daughter in very embarrassed circumstances for some time past at Woolwich and whom he would never see in the latter part of his life-time or give the smallest assistance to.
April 4. On Saturday last died at Mile End, the goat that had been twice round the world, first in the Dolphin, Capt. Wallis, then in the Endeavour, Captain Cooke, she was shortly to have been removed to Greenwich hospital, to have spent the remainder of her days under the protection of those worthy vetrons, who there enjoy an honourable retirement. She had on her neck a splendid collar, on which was engraved the following distich, said to have been wrote by the ingenious and learned Dr. Samuel Johnson.
Perpetui, ambita bis terra, præmia latis Hac habet, altrici capra secunda Jovis.
A Barber, famous among his neighbours for wit, was lately examined as a witness in a cause depending before Lord Mansfield; Mr. Dunning being one of the Council employed on the occasion, asked the man several trifling questions, which appeared in the Barber's estimation foreign to the point. Monsieur Peruke therefore refused to make an answer, until he had first requested the Judge to inform him, whether he was obliged to reply to what he thought so silly and trivial. The Judge told him, that as the questions were harmless, he could not be culpable in answering them. The man in consequence complied. Mr. Dunning, after some time, put the following question:---
Pray, Sir, what trade do you follow? Resolved to excite a laugh against the ingenious Counsel, the Barber answered, I am a Wisdom Vender, Sir.---What business is that, said Dunning? Why Sir, replied the Barber. I make and sell those kind of Wigs which seem to contain all the Wisdom you are Master of.---This retort afforded a Scene of Pleasantry to the Court.---The witty Shaver lives near Lambeth.
The Lottery was Yesterday, among other Articles of the Budget, voted for the present Year, and is to consist 60,000 Tickets; the original Price of each was declared by his Lordship to be 12l. 10s.
It is said that during the Course of the Speech made by Lord North Yesterday, in the House of Commons, his Lordship prophesied a Peace for ten Years to come.
House of Commons, April 30. Sir Cha. Whitworth reported from the Committee of Supply the following Resolutions of Yesterday: That the Sum of 6580l. be granted to his Majesty to make good to his Majesty the like Sum issued by his Majesty, pursuant to the Addresses of this House: That 294l. 3s. 11d. be made good to his Majesty for the like Sum paid by his Majesty's Orders to several Persons in North Britain, for Losses incurred pursuant to several Orders of Council for preventing the spreading of the infectious Distemper among the horned Cattle.
The Committee on the Bill for allowing the free Importation of Rice from any of his Majesty's Colonies in America into this Kingdom, went through with Amendments to be reported To-morrow.
Made further Progress of the Bill for regulating the Importation and Exportation of Corn.
Lord Mansfield continues to preside in the House of Peers for the Lord Chancellor, on account of the great number of Petitions his Lordship has to hear, they amounting to upwards of one hundred and sixty, the greatest Number ever remembered.
Bristol, May 16. Yesterday morning the celebrated Jonathan Britain was executed at St. Michael's Hill Gallows here. He behaved with remarkable decency, penitence and devotion; sung, prayed, and exhorted the people with much fervor and affection; acknowledged the justice of his sentence, and declared his hearty forgiveness of all his prosecutors. The executioner being tedious in the performance of his duty, Britain assisted him: he then delivered to the Turnkey his watch and cravat, kissed him and launched into eternity, with a satisfactory hope of salvation.
May 17. On Friday evening last Mr. Heardson, of the Borough, having some duck eggs boiled for supper, on opening one of them, to his very great surprise discovered another complete egg inclosed in the middle of the yolk of the exterior: this lusus natura has been shewn to some learned Naturalists, by whom it is pronounced a very rare curiosity; they likewise add, that it is the second ever heard of in the world: the first being deposited in the Museum of the Royal Society.
May 18. This Afternoon his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester arrived in Town from Italy.
Thomas Bennet, who was cast for transportation, for stealing a number of silver spoons, at the entertainment given by Sir Watkin William Wynne, at Shrewsbury, was possessed of an estate of 200l. per annum, besides 4000l. in ready Cash, which he assigned over to trustees for his son.
General Scott lost at one sitting very lately, upwards of ten thousand pounds.
May 19. Advice is received from Sir Robert Murray Keith, that the Court of Denmark are plotting something more against the Queen, in order to take her off, but that he apprehends before they proceed any further against her, some other persons, who are no well wishers to her, will be cut off it having been noticed to the public that there will be more executions in a short time.
Orders are given for a fleet of ships to be ready to sail at a few hours notice, their destination is not known, but it is imagined they are bound up the Baltic.
B R I S T O L, May 15. The following Paragraph is a true and perfect Copy of part of the Confession of JONATHAN BRITAIN, the Evening before his Execution, in the Goal of Newgate, Bristol.
I Declare now, that I know no more about the fire at Portsmouth than any other Person whatsoever: 'tis true I was apprehensive that I might be detected for some one or more of the several cheats and forgeries committed by me; on this account I wrote several treasonable letters to the King.---I follow'd his Majesty from St. James's to Buckingham-house, intruded myself close upon him, on purpose to be observed by him, on account of the treasonable letters (which I kept copies of) I expected a reward would be offered, for the sake of which I was prepared to swear any man's life away as the writer; tho' really wrote by myself. I, in fact, never meant to shoot or hurt the person of his Majesty. I never from my heart harboured so much as an intention towards it. True, I had a loaded pistol in my pocket at the time of following him, which my fears dictated as a guard to me, and for no other purpose. I have been guilty of no forgeries that would affect my life, but the four mentioned in the indictments at my trial. In London I laid the plan of my being concerned in the fire at Portsmouth. The pardon appeared in the Gazette the day I went to Reading, there I was taken up. I declare once more I had no accomplice. In prison I sent for the Gazette where the pardon was printed, I applied for it to the Secretaries of State; the Under-Secretaries came down, and brought with them the treasonable letters, of which I produced copies.---I gave them directions to go and take up two of my pretended accomplices, which they endeavoured to do; but there were no such to be found. Now it was that repeated letters in print, and by the post, all of my own writings came to me, offering rewards if I would do so and so. If I would hold my tongue and what not. By this means the whole kingdom was alarmed. The ministry slighted my information. Thus therefore I reasoned with myself; I shall now certainly be hanged, let the case be as it will; I will now try a deeper Scheme; I will write against the Ministry; I will accuse them of course, and spread it through the nation; thousands will receive it as true; and who can tell, thought I, but somebody or other may bail me out; and by that means I may save my life. Now what sort of satisfaction can I receive upon reflecting upon it! I most unjustly accused Lord Mansfield of being a traitor to his king and country, in the Whisperer and other
inflammatory papers; I falsely accused Lord Halifax of receiving bribes; and Lord Falconbridge of being a catholic, of harbouring one of the supposed parties concerned in Portsmouth fire. Now the papers and the public can run with it like wild-fire one to another, which made me assiduous in my studies; for every night and every day was my tongue and pen employed in vilifying, traducing and defaming the Ministry; for this particular circumstance, their taking Dudley and bringing him to a public hearing, and not me, for the fire at Portsmouth. This confirmed and increased the suspicions of the public; and from that time to this the reality of it hath remained a matter of doubt."
The above Declaration was dictated and signed by Britain in presence of four credible Witnesses, who swore to the same after his execution before Henry Bright, Mayor.
Britain was in the 24th year of his age, and has left one Child, his Wife died some time ago at Reading.
CHARLES-TOWN, South-Carolina, June 11.
June 18. Last Night the Governor returned from the Frontiers; the new Boundary Line between North and South-Carolina being compleated. It begins on the Catabaw River, in Lat. 35. 8 Min. North, and runs West to the Cherokee Boundary in the same parallel 65 Miles.
Last week we had terrible storms of hail, which have done great damage in the country; some of the stones it is said, measured in circumference 5 inches, five hours after they fell.
June 18. We had a very gloomy appearance for this year's crop, as well in corn and indigo, as rice, till the beginning of this month, since which we have had the most promising season imaginable. 'Tis remarkable that from the beginning of December last, we have scarce had any easterly winds, and none that continued more than 36 hours; the like is not remembered by the oldest man here.---Rice continues to sell at 4l. 10s. per hundred; and Indian corn is at 20 to 22s. and 6d. per bushel.
June 29. From the 4th to the 11th instant, 20,000 bushels of Indian corn were imported here, and since that, about 13,000 bushels more, which sold from 20 to 22s. a bushel.
June 30. At a late muster of the 96th regiment of militia, under the command of Col. Savage, about 1000 men appeared under arms, though one company did not appear.
July 2. The last Month has proved the coolest June ever known here---and as we had moderate Rains almost every Day, there is the finest Prospect of a plentiful Crop.
Considerable Quantities of INDIAN CORN have been imported since our last, yet the Price is not lowered---and Rice still sells at Four Pounds & Ten Shillings pr. Hundred Weight.
The storm of wind and hail which fell last Thursday se'nnight has ruined many fields of wheat, and greatly damaged the young corn in several counties up James-river, as well as in New Kent and Gloucester; a number of houses were likewise thrown down on several plantations, and windows broke to pieces by the hail stones, which were remarkably large.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, July 20.
By Capt. Davidson, from Hispaniola, we learn, that Capt. All in a brig belonging to Rhode-Island, bound to Cape-Nicholas-Mole, was, on the 24th of June, cast away on the Corcasses. The vessel is entirely lost, but the Captain and crew were taken up and carried to the Mole by a sloop belonging to Providence. We further learn, that Captain Johnston, from Georgia, arrived there, and informed Captain Davidson, that on his passage he spoke a brig from Jamaica, for London, the Captain of which acquainted him, that he saw a sloop in the gulph, mounting several guns, who fired at and brought to three or four vessels and boarded them. They attempted to board him, but he fortunately got away thro' the darkness of the night. They appeared to be pirates, as they hoisted different colours.
On the 26th of June, the French General arrived at the Mole from Port-au-Prince, and declared to the English merchants and Captains of vessels, that while they conformed to the limitations and restrictions prescribed, the trade carried on by them there, should meet with his protection and encouragement.
Last week were landed at New-Castle and this place, three hundred and forty passengers, from on board the ship Rose, Captain George from Londonderry.
Saturday last arrived at Newcastle the ship Prince of Wales, Captain McKenzie from Belfast, who landed upwards of 350 passengers, all in good health.
Since our last arrived here Capt. Lawrence, from Porto Rico by whom we learn, that there were at that place a number of English sailors, and two Captains, whose vessels were seized by the Spaniards, under frivolous pretences, they imprisoned, and were dying by inches; and that one Capt. Smith, of Antigua, who formerly failed out of this port in the capacity of mate, died there in May last by the ill usage of the Spaniards.-----Query, Would it not be better for the British Ministry to employ his Majesty's ships, who are now poking into every river, creek, &c. distressing the trade of the colonies, to defend and protect the subjects of Great-Britain from the tyrannical gripe of the Spaniards, who are every day seizing some of them?
N E W L O N D O N, July 24.
We have accounts from several parts of the continent, of considerable damage being done to the fruits of the earth by extraordinary showers of hail, attended with high winds; particularly at Symsbury in this colony, on the 7th instant there fell a most terrible shower of hail, some of it nearly the size of hen's eggs, which destroyed whole fields of wheat, rye, Indian corn and grass; and many wealthy farmers who had fair prospects of a plentiful crop, in that place, will have no harvest this year. One Mr. Holcomb, who had near forty acres of English grain on the ground, had but one single blade left standing, and that was under a tree.
A L B A N Y, July 6.
On Friday last a Shower of very large Hail, accompanied with Thunder and Lightning, fell at Coaktskie: The Southern Post-Rider informs us, That he arrived there about an hour after the Shower happened, and that he lifted some of the Hail-Stones which were too large for his Fist to grasp---others Report, that square Pieces of Ice fell which weighed 4 Pound and half, that as far as the Shower extended, the Wheat and Indian Corn is entirely destroyed;---that the Hail penetrated the Roofs of the Houses and Barns, struck off the Branches and Bark of the Trees, killed some Horses and Cattle, and wounded others in so many Parts of their Bodies, that they appeared as if bath-

ed in Blood. A Girl at Schodac had one of her Eyes struck out; and two Negroes were killed.
BOSTON, July 30,
A Monument has been cut in this Town by Mr. Henry Christian Geyer, Stone-Cutter, at the South End, to be sent to Connecticut; it is executed in the Composite Order, with twisted Pillars, and the other proper Ornaments, having a Cherub's Head on Wings, and the following Label from his Mouth, Revelations XIV. 6, 7.
On the Tomb-Stone is this Inscription,
Here lies
Until the Resurrection,
The Body of
ROBERT SANDEMAN,
A Native of Perth, North-Britain,
Who in the Face of continual Opposition
From all Sorts of Men
Long and boldly contended
For the ancient Faith;
That the bare Work of JESUS CHRIST,
Without a Deed, or Thought, on the Part of Man,
Is sufficient to prevent
The chief of Sinners
Spotless before GOD
To declare this blessed Truth
As testified in the Holy Scriptures
He left his Country--he left his Friends,
And after much patient Suffering
Finished his Labours
At DANBURY,
2d April 1771,
Aged 53 Years.
Deign'd CHRIST to come so nigh to us
As not to count it shame
To call us Brethren--Shall we blush
At aught that bears his Name.
Nay, let us boast in his Reproach
And glory in his Cross,
When He appears, one Smile from Him
Shall far o'erpay our Loss.
Died at Amboy, in the 78th Year of his Age, Captain William Bryant. He was not more remarkable for having been upwards of thirty Years a skilful and successful Navigator between the Ports of New-York and London, than for being in an eminent Degree possessed of the Virtues, Sincerity, Temperance, Integrity, and Benevolence, and of a true and unaffected Piety.
A Suitable Epitaph.
TWO Neptune's Waves, and Boreas Blasts Have toss'd me to and fro; In spite of these, by God's Decrees, I harbour here below.
Where safely I, at Anchor lie, With many of our Fleet:
One Day we shall, again set sail, Our Admiral CHRIST to meet.
Sunday last a Child about 18 Months old, Son of Mr. Joseph Swan, of Dedham, fell into a Tub of Water, and was drowned.
On Monday last Col. Dalrymple, with the whole of the 14th Regiment, under his Command, having embarked on board the Transports lately arrived here from New-York, sailed from this Place with a fair Wind.
We hear from Coventry in Connecticut, that on Friday last two Houses were struck with Lightning, and considerably damaged; also several cattle were killed. A Child was struck down in one of the Houses, but recovered: The Floor of the House was ript up, and the Heads of the Nails melted; but what was very remarkable, a Woman that was standing on the Floor, had one of her Shoes tore off her Foot, and the Buckle-melted, without her receiving any hurt.
MONDAY, August 3.
Last Saturday afternoon Capt. Binney arrived here in 16 Days from St. Martins, by whom we learn, That a Fleet of 16 Spanish Men of War, chiefly capital Ships, & a Number of Transports, lately passed by the windward Islands bound to the Havannah, but that on the Evening of the 6th of July last two of them, viz. a Ship of 74 Guns and another of 40, being separated from the rest in a Squall of Wind, ran ashore at 12 o'clock the next Night on the East End of Anguilla, where they both soon after beat to Pieces; but the Crews, consisting of upwards of 700 Men, all got safe ashore, except 12 who were drowned:--They also saved what Money they had on board, and a considerable Quantity of very valuable Goods, tho' as it was blustering Weather, many Articles of great Value had drifted from them, which the Wreckers from Curacoa and other Places were very diligent in picking up as free Plunder. It was not known upon what Design this Fleet was intended. The Inhabitants of Anguilla took great Advantages of the Spaniards Distress in making them pay exorbitant Prices for the Necessaries they supplied them with; but their Misfortune being soon known at the other Islands, they had Plenty of Provisions of all Kinds immediately sent them; and before Capt. Binney came away were about engaging Vessels to carry them, with what Effects were saved, to Porto Rico.
By a Gentleman from Virginia, we learn, that a Vessel bound in there from Holland was pursued by a Cutter, and ordered to bring too, but refused, a Barge was manned, and they attempted to board her, but were beat off, upon which the Cutter fired upon her, the fire was returned with vigour, but the vessel unluckily running on a Bank was seized by the Cutter, who had four Men killed, and the Brig two. She was afterwards condemned, but the People were permitted to go at Liberty.
Last Wednesday several Gentlemen went out in a Boat to catch Mackerel, and had sailed a little way beyond the Light House, when unluckily the Boom knocked Mr. Joseph Howe, Tinman, overboard as he was slooping to haul in his Line; the Sea running very high, and the Wind blowing fresh, by the Time they
could wear the Boat, he was at a great Distance from them, and must have been drowned had they not had a small Canoe alongside, and by that Means saved his Life; he had sunk twice before they could get to his Assistance, and was sinking a third Time when they reached him. They carried him ashore at the Light-House, and by the Means used he greatly recovered in five or six Hours.
A very valuable Horse, belonging to a Gentleman in this Town, was killed at Lexington last Thursday by Lightning, just after the Rider had dismounted.
Capt. Russell, who is lately arrived at Philadelphia from Dominica, informs, "that Admiral Man was arrived at St Vincents, with his Squadron, on board of which were Troops, Artillery, &c. from Dominica, Grenada, and other Islands, where, with the Assistance of other Regiments daily expected, it was said, were to form a Line to keep the Indians there in Awe, and to stop their Communication with the French, who had several Times intimated to them to be troublesome to the English settled in that Island."
SALEM, August 4.
Soon after the Commitment of Sarah Golihwait to Prison in May last, on Suspicion of murdering her Bastard Child, one Abigail Rhodes, of Lynn, a Resident in the same House with her, was missing; on which the Woods, Swamps, &c. were searched by Hundreds of People, in order to find her, but to no Effect. After about two Months Absence, last Thursday se'nnight, her Remains, with the Clothing which she usually wore, were discovered in a Swamp adjacent to where she lived, little remaining but her Bones, the Flesh being mostly consumed. The Verdict of the Jury of Inquest summoned on the Occasion was, That she came by her Death in a Manner unknown. It is very strongly and generally suspected that this poor Woman was murdered; the Reasons for which Suspicion, as we have heard related, are---That she is supposed to have been knowing to the Death of the Bastard Child above mentioned; and therefore was put out of the Way that she might not appear as an Evidence in that Affair: That though she was so weak and infirm as to be able to walk but very feebly, she was found in a Place almost inaccessible, on Account of Bushes and Mire; and her Shoes, notwithstanding, found to be quite clean, inside as well as out; besides some other Circumstances which we can't particularly relate. The Jury, however, though they strictly examined a Number of Persons, could make no Discovery of Violence.
By the Captains Massey and Lander, who arrived here last Week from Dominico, the latter of whom left it on the 4th of last Month, we are informed, that a considerable Number of Troops, said to be about 5000, had sailed for St. Vincents, accompanied by a Squadron of Men of War, under the Command of Admiral Man. This Armament was designed to take and subdue the Carabee Indians on that Island, some Thousands of whom were said to have thrown up a Breast-Work a few Miles from the principal Town, determined to defend themselves, being supplied with Arms and Ammunition by the French at Martinico. Capt. Lander heard, before he sailed, of the Arrival of the Troops at St. Vincents; and they were preparing, with the utmost Expedition, to make an attack upon the Indians, who were said to be well disciplined, and were provided with several Field-Pieces. It was thought there would be a smart Contest.--- These Indians being encouraged and supported by the French, with whom they persisted in carrying on Trade, in Defiance of the British Government, is the Occasion of this Expedition.
Last Wednesday William Campbell received 15 Stripes, well laid on, at the public Whipping Post, agreeable to his sentence. He is bound over for House-breaking at the Superior Court in November next, when it is thought he will be indicted for felony, having been three or four Times convicted of Theft.
The greatest Degrees of Heat, last Tuesday and Wednesday, in Portsmouth and Boston, as observed in Farenheits Thermometer, was 91 and 92. One Gentleman in this Town saw the Mercury at 96; others no higher than 92.

PORTSMOUTH, August 7.
We hear from Exeter, that last Thursday Se'nnight the House of Mr. John Bond of that Town was struck by Lightning and Mrs Bond who was walking the Room instantaneously killed. Though the House was very low, being but one Story, the Lightning struck the Top of the Chimney and threw off 3 Bricks passed down the Roof upon the Plate broke off a Piece of it, and entered a Stud against which hung a Looking-Glass. There being a Breach in the Plaistering behind the Looking-Glass, it is supposed the Lightning was attracted in its Passage down the Stud, by the Quicksilver on the Glass, by which Means the Glass was broke into very small Pieces, though the Frame was left standing unhurt. Mrs Bond being that instant opposite the Glass, the Lightning struck her on the Temple, passed down her Body without fracturing the Skin, burst open her Shoe and passed off. There was another Woman and several Children in the same Room who received no Hurt.
On the same Day, and part of the next, and on Wednesday last, we had plentiful Showers of RAIN, which have greatly refreshed the Earth, after a long and severe Drought.
