FRESH ADVICES.
COPENHAGEN, April 12.
SOME particulars of what passed in the assembly of the Great Commission, the 6th of this month, have at last transpired. That day will be ever memorable in the history of this kingdom. Queen Caroline has been condemned to perpetual imprisonment, and in consequence, her marriage with the King our august monarch, is annulled. Although the court has not yet published this sentence, the affair, however, is not less true. Counsellor Bang read the different accusations against the Queen, which appear to have been pretty numerous, since they filled four sheets in writing. The Attorney-General Uldahl spoke in favour of the party accused. He displayed for the Queen all his eloquence, and drew tears from the whole assembly. The Queen had recommended her cause to him with tears in her eyes; and had promised him an ample reward in case he served her well; but that Princess having heard some hours after, the contents of the sentence, was struck, and she could not forbear expressing her resentment in very strong terms. There were sharp debates among the Judges on the five following questions, viz. 1. How to proceed to the divorce? 2. What title should be given to the Queen after the dissolution of the marriage? 3. How the young Princess should be treated? 4. What annual pension should be allowed to the Queen? 5. What place should be fixed upon for a prison for the Queen?
The three ladies who are to accompany the Queen in her prison, (which is perhaps to be the castle of Alburgh) must bind themselves on oath, never to absent themselves from that place after eight o'clock at night in summer, nor after six o'clock in winter.
The greatest part of the court cannot help lamenting the fate of that Princess, who, scarce twenty years of age, is condemned to perpetual imprisonment. 'Tis assured that the King is going to make a tour to his German dominions, and that his Majesty has fixed his departure to the 23d of this month. We are very impatient to learn the fate of the other state prisoners the present circumstances augur no good to them.
Sir Robert Keith having signified his intention of retiring, was answered he might depart whenever he thought proper. A courier was dispatched at the same time to London, to recall Baron de Dieden. It is reported that this minister has orders to declare to the British Court, that the Queen will be permitted to return to her own country, provided she gives security never to set foot again in Denmark.
Paris, April 17. The Porte has consented to the following conditions; 1. That the holding of a congress should be no longer delayed. 2. That this congress should be
held in Walachia 3. That the Danube should serve as a boundary to both armies during the congress. 4. That in case the negotiations for a peace should prove fruitless, the armistice should continue for the space of three months, reckoning from the day of the breaking up of the congress.
Warsaw, April 1. Yesterday the Russian Ambassador, received an Express from Jassy, and we hear the congress will soon be opened there, as several great houses are already taken for the ministers. The Turks would have rather had it at Bucharest; and they seem now to be in earnest about this great work.
LONDON, April 27,—28.
Advices from Copenhagen, dated the 11th of this month, inform us, that Sir Robert Keith, the British Minister, departed from that city on Thursday the 9th instant for Elsinour.
They write from the Hague, that his Prussian Majesty has at this time an army consisting of 50,000 infantry and 7,000 cavalry, fit for immediate action.
A company of foot, intended for the youngest son of Lord Holland, who is at present a Cornet of horse, was among the commissions from Ireland that were rejected by the King, and sent back unsigned.
The Duke of Cumberland wrote a very spirited letter to an august personage requesting he might be sent with the squadron lately fitting out for sea; and, as far as lay in his power, acquit himself of the service owed to his country; but his request was rejected at the instigations of Lord Sandwich in conjunction with the Mansfield Juncto.
On Wednesday afternoon one of the flators at work at the top of Kew house, unfortunately fell and was killed on the spot; His Majesty being a spectator of this accident, has ordered his wife with several children to be taken care of at his own expence, and to be properly provided for.
We are informed from good authority, that peace, in the east of Europe, notwithstanding the late cessation of arms, is far from being so certain event as has been imagined. The Empress of Russia, will not permit the Tartars of Crimea to return to their dependances on the Porte; and the Turks if they permit the Russians to navigate the Black Sea, may give up, at once Constantinople.
The court of Berlin has undertaken to join the Russians in reducing the Confederates, and in restoring the tranquility of Poland.
It is affirmed that the court of France lately signified at St. James's, by their ambassador, that whatever turn the affairs of the rest of Europe may take, we may rely on their strict neutrality.
Of forty-two commissions in the army lately sent over by Lord Townshend, only five were returned, signed by the King. The rest were rejected.
They write from Falmouth, that a Dutchman of War is lost off the Land's End, and all the crew perished.
Late on Sunday night an express arrived from Ireland at St. James's, said to contain more disagreeable accounts than any that has yet been received from that Kingdom.
An order has been lately issued out by the French commandant at Dunkirk, which obliges all the English subjects, many of whom are of good character and in capital business, to leave that place immediately.
A few days ago the King dictated to Lord Rochford, the words of a letter to Lord Townshend, censuring that Lord's conduct in Ireland. The orthography and passage relating to the military, were afterwards corrected by Gen. Harvey.
From Venice, March 26, they write, that all their houses, streets, & fields are drenched with a shower of blood. This phenomenon has been accounted for upon the principles of natural philosophy; there having been one wind reigning there for two months together, which had brought the red sands of the Istrian mountains thither, and great quantities of rain falling at the same time, had actually dissolved those red sands into a fluid state, having the external appearance of blood.
Col. Pens is appointed Grand Master of the Household to the young Queen of Denmark; and his regiment of cavalry is ordered to be stationed in the neighbourhood of the Castle of Alburg, the place destined for the residence of that Princess.
We are informed that it is stipulated, that the sum determined to be annually allowed the Queen Consort of Denmark, (which is 40,000 dollars) shall be expended within the dominions of his Danish Majesty; and in case she should return to England, that she shall be presented with 10,000 dollars, and the annual appointment cease.
Many a man has made his fortune by marriages. If the King of Denmark goes on as he has begun, he will probably do the same. He got if we remember right, 100,000, with his wife. He now offers her in return 10,000 dollars, that is about 2000l. so he will clear by the match 98,000l. a pretty round sum! Few men, we believe, however averse to matrimony, would refuse to take a wife for two or three years upon the same conditions.
The advices from Copenhagen say, that six spacious apartments in the castle of Alburg, are to be allotted for the Queen of Denmark, and that there is to be a kind of Court kept up there, under certain limitations.
May 2. With regard to the Fate of the Queen of Denmark, it is now with Confidence asserted, that she is to be sent to Zell, and to have a Pension, in lieu of her Portion from Denmark, equal to 4000l. per Ann. Sterling; also that her loose Behaviour in the Court was too notorious to be in any Manner vindicated; but there were other Crimes of a blacker Dye laid against her. Our Court say, that the Fleet which they had ordered prevented any other Punishment being inflicted upon her than a Divorce. — This is, however, doubted by many, who say, that upon a Fleet being ordered to be fitted out, the French and Prussian Ministers interferred, which so effectually frightened our Court that they gave private Assurances, the Orders for fitting out the Fleet should be countermanded if they would join in an Application to the Danish Court to deliver up the Queen to the English Minister, who would conduct her to Zell; which has been complied with. Without Metaphor or Exaggeration, she may be justly called the Messalina of Denmark.
We hear that the divorce which has taken place between the King and Queen of Denmark is very satisfactory to the latter and to her family; and that no farther punishment will be inflicted on her; and there will be no rupture between this Kingdom and that of Denmark, provided no farther ill treatment be offered to the Queen Mathilda.

Charlestown, South-Carolina, June 16.
The Board of Commissioners at Boston, have appointed George Roupell, Esq; Collector of his Majesty's customs for this port in the room of the late John Hughes, Esq;
N E W - Y O R K, June 25.
We hear from Brookhaven, that on Thursday night last about midnight, a barn belonging to Mr. Samuel Davis of that place, was discovered to be in flames so that the fire could not be extinguished till the barn was burnt to the ground. The persons who assembled on this occasion, perceived another barn hard by to be on fire at both ends, it being but lately kindled it was soon suppressed and while they were about it, they perceived a third barn, at a little further distance, to be also on fire which they suppressed. These fires were supposed to have been designedly kindled by a runaway Negro, who had belonged to Mr. Davis.
We learn from South-Haven, on Long-Island, that last Monday afternoon, Samuel Brewster, Esq; of that place, being in the woods with one of his Negroes, attempted to correct him for some misdemeanour, which the Negro resented, & wounded his master, by giving him several violent blows on the head with a billet of wood, that he expired next morning, first relating the matter as above-mentioned. The Negro was tried the next day and being found guilty, was hanged the Friday following.
Last Saturday arrived the Schooner Thomas, Captain Gilbert, in 35 days from Hispaniola, who, on the passage the 31st of May, lat. 21. long. 74. met with a Sloop loaded with Lumber full of water, without any Person on board. Capt. Gilbert saw at the Mole the Captain of this Sloop, and understood that she belonged to Virginia, had lately sailed from New-York, and was cast away on the Plate-Wreck Rocks, where the people left her; but the sea had driven her off from the Rocks.
Capt. Green in 13 days from Providence, informs that Capt. Lloyd sailed for Boston a few days before him, and that Captain Clark was to sail for the same place a few days after him.
Capt. Nehemiah Odell, a noted Coaster from Fairfield to Boston, who fell overboard and was drowned the 27th of January last, was taken up the 11th inst. at Ship Hand-Point, in Stanford, with all his Cloaths Watch, Buckles, &c.
The General Assembly of this Province is further prorogued to the 8th of September next.
Capt. Gwynn, from Jamaica, on the 2d of June, in lat. 23. long. 76. met with Captain Sawyer in a Sloop from Casco Bay for Jamaica who, tho' only 26 days out, had no kind of provisions on board, and but ten gallons of water.
Captain Hammond from the Coast of Africa informs that he left Serailoon about three months ago, where he heard there had been a very sickly time in the River Gambia, that Governor De Berdt, and all the Traders at James's Fort, on that River, were dead, and that the Doctor was the only white man living belonging to the Fort. Also informs, that a few days before he sailed, Capt. Sarvey, in a Brig belonging to London trading at Camarano, having got about 65 Slaves on board, they rose upon the white people, killed the Captain, Mate, and all the Crew. The Vessel was afterwards retaken by Captain Cleveland a trader, who recovered about 20 of the Slaves, and intended to send the Brig home for the benefit of the Insurers.
Captain Lowndes in 16 days from St. Croix, informs that on the 18th of June, in lat. 33 40. long. 72. he spoke with the Schooner Rebecca, a Whaler, John Kendrick, master, eleven weeks from off Vera Cruz bound to Martha's Vineyard, who had taken 13 small Spermaceti Whales in the bottom of the Bay of Mexico, from which he had only made 120 barrels of Oil, but found the Whales to be very plenty there, but being short of provisions, he was obliged to quit his station. He also informed him, that on the 8th of May he was in company with the Brig Minerva, Captain Burk, bound to London, Capt. Davis in the Ship Marquis of Granby, and Chambers in a Schooner from Providence, all from the Bay of Honduras, who being becalmed off Swan's Island, went ashore in their boats with a view of getting some fresh Prog, but the current running very rapid, & a gust arising, soon drove the Vessels from the adjacent Shore; the next day they reached the Island again, when the remainder of the Crew went on shore in search of their Captains, but to their great surprize found only a few Turtle turned, and two powder horns, which they brought on board, and set sail immediately for Rattan, in quest of the Masters and People, but having no intelligence of them, they entered a Port, and proceeded on their passage to Europe. Captain Kendrick, off the Bay of Hunda, took on board from the Minerva, John Burk, son to the about Capt. Burk, whom he proposed to put on shore at Rhode-Island, as the Brig belonged to Mr. Aaron Lopez there. On the 12th of May Capt. Kendrick went on board a Spanish guarda costa, a Snow of 12 guns, Don Totius Francisco, from Port Mahon, who supplied him with 100 wt of bread and other little necessaries. The next morning he saw the said Snow ashore off the Coxcombs, and the people very expeditious in getting on shore, as the Vessel soon went to pieces when the sea breeze set in.
N E W - P O R T, June 29, 1772.
By a gentleman from New-York we learn, that 1800 tons of shipping are taken up at that place for transports, & the same number at Philadelphia: Which, it is supposed, are designed to carry troops to some parts of the West-Indies.
Capt. Cockrun, in 26 days from the Mole, informs that no Vessel can be entered there with Flour and Candles on board, till the Captain gives Bond not to sell any of those Articles.
B O S T O N, July 2: 1772.
Tuesday last a person applied to the printer hereof, for a Number of Types, and said they were for printing some lines to go to the bottom of a Family Coat of Arms, 5 of which had been done for as many Brothers by the Name of Sutton. There was about a Dozen Lines, ten Words in a Line, and did not seem applicable to any Arms; upon Enquiry, he said he came from the Borders of New-York Government, by which it was suspected he wanted the Types for some other Design, and was dismissed.
We hear from Oxford, that as one Mr. Joseph Davis, was digging in a Cellar in a dry Gravel, dug up a Bushel or more of Frogs four Feet under ground, in a cloudy Day they would live to jump some Rods
from the Cellar, but when the Sun shined upon them they died; they continued coming out of the Ground till the Cellar was stoned, and then there was a Croaking some Rods from the Cellar in the Ground for some time. The Cellar has been improved for a Year and has never had any water in it, but always proved very dry.
M O N D A Y July 6.
We are assured that the Hon. House of Representatives, by a majority of eighty-five out of one hundred and four members, did the last week, pass a number of decent and manly resolves, respecting the Governor's having and receiving a support independent of the General Assembly.
Last week the wife of Mr. Remington Kinyon, of East-Greenwich, was safely delivered of three children, viz. two sons and a daughter.
P O R T S M O U T H, July 10.
Extract of a Letter from Falmouth, (Casco-Bay) July 4, 1772. "Yesterday was tried at the Superior Court setting here, one Solomon Gooding, for the Murder of David Wilson, at Bowdoinham, as mentioned some Time ago in the Papers. The Trial was fair and solemn, and the Jury brought him in Guilty. I never saw any Thing so affecting as the Jury appeared to be, when they brought in their Verdict --- a melancholly concern appear'd in their Countenances, and by their dejected looks every one judg'd of the Prisoner's Fate, before the Verdict was given in. The Judges I am told spoke highly of the Jury. I never was at a Capital Trial before, and cou'd not help making this Observation, That if a Tribunal of Justice of Men, produces such Awe, Honor and Solemnity, where Men are punished for Offences, against an equal --- how much more terrible, awful and solemn, must that Tribunal be, before the Judge of all the Earth, at whose Bar, Man the most inferior of rational Beings, is arraign'd for Offences, against an avenging GOD, who is in superiority to Man, Infinite."
We hear from Rochester, that last Saturday one Jonathan Young of that Place, was drowned by going into the Water to cool himself.
Oftimes innocent Persons suffer by the bad Conduct of others, perhaps the following is an Instance thereof, for we have from a London Paper the Reason of the Spaniards imprisoning English Seamen.
By a Letter from Jamaica, it appears that the late Accounts of the Spanish Insults and Depredations in that Part of the Globe, arises from the following Causes, viz. The South side of the Island of Cuba lies opposite to Jamaica, and in sight where there are large Tracts of uncultivated Lands, containing for many Miles but few or no Inhabitants. Nevertheless, the Lands do undoubtedly belong to the Crown or Subjects of Spain though many of our People take Liberty to think otherwise. On this Land grow several Sorts of Wood, Mahogany, Cedar, &c. Articles in some Estimation; and, as the Land belong to nobody, somebody, that is, any body has a Right to take them: This is the Doctrine of those Wood Collectors; for they are not always content with what they cut themselves, but will modestly take all they find ready cut. Hitherto all goes well no Complaints of violated Right, injured Property, or national Insult. The Government of Spain have long known this Practice, have proclaimed Edicts against it, but made no spirited Remonstrances. At length seeing their Coasts invaded by whole Fleets, open Plunderers robbing them in the most shameful Manner, they did at last send out a Ship or two, made free with a Number of them, carried them off and condemned the Vessels and imprisoned the Crew. The Owners complained and remonstrated, but Government would not interpose; and as they were so notoriously violating all Laws and Treaties, they must submit to the Consequences, which they had not even the Merit of ignorance to plead for incurring; notwithstanding which they will have both redress for their Grievances, that is, the Loss of their Vessels, and Satisfaction for the national Dishonor sustained by the capture of them. The first object is to be obtained by sending armed Vessels to continue the Trade, and repel Force by Force, which is actually done: The other by representations at home of the Injuries they and the Nation have suffered: It may be asked, perhaps, if on no colour of right they take this wood? the following is the best bad one ever heard of. They agree with the first ordinary Spaniard they can find, who, for a Dollar will sell them all the wood that grows on as much land as they can see in every direction round them. The Bargain is struck, and to work they go. Thus the Purchase is made; it would be both loss of time and indecent to require this Landholder to produce his title Deeds. The faith of an old Castilian is proverbial, and their Descendants no doubt inherit their virtue with their Possessions, and Want of confidence on our Part would be both rude and unprofitable. The above Account is strictly true, --- and is the whole Foundation of the Outery of Hostilities being commenced, Captures made, Subjects imprisoned, Property invaded, Flag insulted, Throats cut, &c. &c. and no less than eighteen Sail of British Ships seized, taken and condemned, their Crews imprisoned in the West-Indies by the Spaniards.
Ladies Caps, Hats, Bonnets and Cloaks; and all Kinds of Millinary Ware, made in the neatest and most Fashionable Manner, may be had at the House of Mr. Livermore on Spring Hill near the Market.

From a late LONDON Paper. To the P R I N T E R.
S I R,
P RIDE and folly generally some time or other, meet a just reward. One of our modern fine ladies, alias a farmer's daughter, was very desirous of dressing her hair in the tip of the present ridiculous mode. For want of better materials she made a rowler of new hay, and placing it on her head, turned her hair up over it; after which the necessary quantity of powder, &c. &c. was puffed on, and she rose eminently superior to her butter-making sister. Thus attired, forth she went exulting and exalted, to pay a visit to another fine lady of the same rank, who sold bread. On her arrival at the door, hung the baker's horse, loaded with paniers. These obstructed her passage, and she had no other mode of entrance but to stoop, and go under the horse's neck. she did so, but when her head approached the chin of Rosinante, the effluvia of the hay made a sensible impression on his fancy, he therefore immediately fastened his teeth on that part of the towering structure whence the grateful odour came, and instantly dislodged the rowler of hay, together with a considerable quantity of hair that covered it, to the no small pain, and great mortification of the lady, whose head now appeared as destitute of ornament without side, as it really was of sense within.
I relate this anecdote, as a warning to that part of the creation, to which nature hath been so profuse in adorning with real comeliness and beauty, that they may see the folly of attempting to improve it, by ridiculous modes of dress, and the idle fopperies of fashion. The charms genuine nature has given infinitely surpass those of art, and can receive no assistance from them.
