The following is the two last Stanzas of the Order for his Majesty's Birth-Day as it was performed before his Majesty on the 4th of June last.
Loveliest of months ! bright June again Thy season smiles. With thee return The frolic band of pleasure's train, With the Britannia's festal morn, When the glad land her homage pays To George, her monarch and her friend, "May chearful health, may length of days "And smiling peace his steps attend !
"May every good" Cease, cease the strain ; The prayer were impotent and vain ; What greater good can man possess Than he, to whom all bounteous Heaven, With unremitting hand, has given The power and will to bless ?
NEW-YORK, August 29.
A Stranger, lately arriv'd here, who calls himself Dr. Anthony Yeldall, and sells Medicines from a Stage ; who by his Harangues, odd Tricks of his Merry-Andrew, and the surprising Feats of Activity of his little Boy, highly diverts the People, has for several Weeks past exhibited at Brooklyn, on Long-Island ; to which Place, it is said, several thousand of People, mostly from this City, have flock'd to see and hear him every Day of his Exhibition. On Monday last a great Multitude, as usual, having attended him ; on their Return to cross the Ferry, the Boats being insufficient to
carry them all, were prodigiously crowded : every one got in as soon as he could, and when the Boat was full, they put off, without waiting for Ferry-men. One of the Boats thus put off about Sunset, having on board 110 Persons, Men, Women and Children. Before they could well fix themselves for rowing, the Rapidity of the Tide drove the Boat upon and over a Rock, by which the Rudder was beat off, & the Bottom shatter'd, through which the Water rushed in Sluces. Before they could think of any Measures for their Preservation the Boat was driven upon and over another Rock, which increased the Leaks, together with the Confusion & Dismay of the People on board, where the Water rapidly increased every Moment. The Tears and Cries of the Women and Children, the Looks of Astonishment & Terror of the whole Company, at the Prospect of immediate Death, from which no Means of Deliverance appear'd, produced a Scene of Distress, that Words cannot describe ; The Men were thrown into a Stupefaction, that hindered them from attempting any Thing for their Preservation ; and their confused Noise and Gestures, were by the People on shore supposed to be the Effects of Mirth and Jollity. At last some of the Boys on board began to lade out the Water with their Hats, which being observed by the People on shore, and in Boats at a Distance, convinced them that those distressed People were in Need of Assistance, which was given with all possible Expedition, by several Boats which arrived just in Time to save the People in the leaky Boat, which was upon the Point of sinking, the Water being above the Knees of the Men, and up to the Middle of some of the Children, and the Edge of the Boat not above a Hand's Breath above Water.
To such a Number of People in present Health & high Spirits, this striking Prospect of immediate Death, and providential Deliverance from it—whereby many Families have been saved from Mourning, Lamentation and Woe, should not fail of making a strong lasting Impression, and having a good Effect, not only upon the Persons who were the immediate Actors in the Scene, and their near Relatives, but upon all who were Witnesses of it.
NEW BRAintree, August 1771.
On the 24th of July last, the Widow Mary Ayres of this Town, returning about Sunset from a Visit to one of her Neighbours; went into the Yard in order to assist in Milking, when she fell down and expired instantaneously. She was a Person of a sober Life, has left two Brothers to survive her, who were both born with her at the same Birth, and who had in June last compleated the 74th Year of their Age.
BOSTON, September 5;
Tuesday last died very suddenly Mr. JOHN GORE, jun, Merchant, aged 26 Years. During his very short Intercourse with Mankind by a peculiarly happy Deportment he gained a very general Esteem.
The Circumstances of his Death in some Measure aggravate the Distress of his Friends : The Attack was sudden, the Event amazingly rapid ; —He arose on the Morning of his Death vigorous and chearful, having designed an Excursion into the Country with some Friends : at 10 o'Clock his Company having just set out, as he was going to step into the Carriage, he was seized with a Fit of an Apoplexy, the loss of his Senses was instantaneous, and notwithstanding every Effort to relieve him he expired at four o'Clock in the Afternoon.
The Beginning of this Week died here aged 64 Years Captain JOHN MC KOWN. His Remains were decently interred last Evening.
At Long-Island, Capt. Francis Koffier, he had the Command of several Privateers out of
New-York last War, and acquired great Hon. by his Bravery and Resolution in the several Engagements he was in.
Last Friday Afternoon, a Negro Boy belonging to Mr. John Goldsmith, was found drowned at the North Part of this Town.
MIDDLEBOROUGH, Sept. 3, 1771.
On Friday last died Mrs. SARAH CONANT, in the 43d Year of her Age ; the agreeable & virtuous Consort of the Rev. Mr. CONANT of this Town.
By the New-York Journal, received last evening, we have the following TRAGICAL ACCOUNT, (which was taken from a North Carolina Gazette of the 2d of August ; it was tranfacted after passing their resolves at Newbern, and before they wrote their letter to the printer of the Massachusetts Spy) viz.
THE last SPEECH, CONFESSION and Dying Words of ISAIAH THOMAS, PRINTER of the Massachusetts Spy, (No. 17) in Boston, and his two co-partners in iniquity, LEONIDAS and MUCIUS SCÆVOLA, who were executed at Newbern, on Wednesday the 13th of July 1771, for the heinous crime of slander.
THE criminals having been drawn to the place of execution, appeared with dejected ghastly countenances, and so confounded with guilt, and the terrors of an approaching ignominious death, that they had not the least power of speech ; wherefore the Sheriff, in their names, pronounced the following declaration.
"Good People ! "WE are now become, through our crimes, wretched spectacles to heaven and earth ; just objects of divine and human vengeance ; whose indignation we must speedily experience. "We acknowledge our guilt ; and that not having the fear of God before our eyes, but being moved and seduced by the instigation of the Devil, who is properly the father of lies, we did, daringly, maliciously, wantonly and wickedly, utter, print and publish, the most audacious lies, bitter invectives, & scurrilous epithets, against a distinguish'd gentleman, of the most exalted character. "We have calumniated the Innocent ; we have traduced the upright of Heart ; utterly regardless of this Sentence of Holy Writ,—"Woe be to him by whom Slander cometh."
The above Speech being finished, the Criminals (still mute) were turned off ; and after hanging a few Minutes, cut down and cast into a Fire, prepared for that Purpose, amidst the Shouts and Acclamations of a large Concours of reputable Inhabitants : who made the Air resound with—"Long Live Governor TRYON, Prosperity to the City and Province of New-York, &c."
In the Afternoon, the Gentlemen met at the King's Arms Tavern, where they spent the Evening in social Festivity, drinking several loyal Toasts ; nor did they forget their Excellencies,
"Governor Tryon and Martin."
The following Epitaph, wrote in large Characters was tendered to the criminals, for their perusal, just before their execution, but they continuing silent, would not read a single word of it, wherefore, as a further punishment on their contemptuous taciturnity, it was affix'd before their faces, to the gallows.
E P I T A P H.
Beneath this gallows three traducers lie, Who for their crimes were justly doomed to die, Leonidas, with Mucius of ill fame, (die, And

And we the third, Isaiah Thomas, name. Sworn foes to honour, virtue, truth they fell, And where they now reside we cannot tell.
OBSERVATIONS upon the Progress of LEARNING in AMERICA.
*** GREAT Objects naturally attract *** our Minds and fix our Attention, * G * and when they afford a Prospect * * of Happiness, the Mind dwells * * upon them in pleasing Contem- * * plation; especially when they promise Felicity * * to one's Country, a Love for which is a natu- * * ral & noble Passion in the human Mind: Hence * * we are led to contemplate with delight many * * important Scenes that are unfolding by the * * creative Hand of Time in America.—As the * * rising Dawn extends our Prospect, and with * * increasing Pleasure presents new Objects to * * View, the growing Day of America opens * * an ample Field for sentimental Delight, ever * * blooming with new Objects, which lead the * * contemplative Mind (judging of the future by * * the present) through successive Periods, until * * American Glory shall arrive to its Meridian * * Grandeur.—A splendid Object which now * * catches our Attention in this Part of the Con- * * tinent, is DARTMOUTH-COLLEGE in * * New-Hampshire; this presents a pleasing * * Prospect to every Lover of his Country, who * * knows the Connection between LITERATURE * * and LIBERTY, and that LEARNING is, under * * Providence, the great Fountain of human * * Happiness: like the Sun in the Firmament, it * * at once warms and enlightens, shews Men * * the Paths of Honour and Interest, and ani- * * mates them in every worthy Pursuit—as it lets * * in the Beams of Knowledge, it touches the * * Springs of Action, and leads noble Minds on to * * every Thing good and great.—The Patriot * * being thus enlightened by this Candle of Hea- * * ven, he surveys with a godlike Pleasure the ex- * * tensive Field of Action that opens before him, * * sees the Connection of his Conduct with the * * Happiness of Multitudes now on the Stage, as * * well as Thousands unborn; views with paternal * * Pity Human-kind exposed to Evils great & in- * * numerable, and to the Curse of Tyranny, the * * most consummate Calamity, and is stimulated * * by that heavenly Passion which Patriotism * * inspires, to pursue with unremitting Ardour * * the Welfare of mankind, guarding against the * * Inroads of Evils, and laying Foundations for * * Public and universal Happiness.
AMERICA appears conspicuously wise in the Attention paid to this grand Concern, in almost every Province there is a COLLEGE for the liberal Education of Youth, and some of those Seminaries have long been eminent Seats of Learning, whose Sons have adorned many important Spheres, and been extensive Blessings to their Country. In the Constella- tion of American Colleges, Harvard in Cam- bridge is the most distinguished, was the first Seat of Learning in this new World, and the Blessings that have been derived from it to A- merica are not to be named or numbered they are so many and great—More than one hun- dred and twenty Years have rolled over the venerable Head, and the Number of her Sons already exceed two Thousand three Hundred; many of whom have been Ornaments and Bles- sings to Mankind and an Honour to human Nature. Many Colleges in America have done worthily, but Dartmouth bids fair to excel them all; its Situation is vastly advantageous to command a large Circle, and be very ex- tensively useful; it is near the Centre between the Sea and Lake Champlain, is convenient for the whole Province of Canada, for the greatest Part of New-York, the upper Part of Connecticut and Massachusetts, and the Ea- stern Country, besides the Province of New- Hampshire. It is richly endowed, has many powerful Patrons whose Activity and Zeal in promoting its Prosperity is indefatigable—If natural Advantages united with human endea- vours, can produce a great Effect, the nume- rous concurring Causes which now conspire in Favour of Dartmouth College, must soon make it glorious, and by a rapid Progress raise it to the Summit of literary Fame.
None of my generous Countrymen will envy any particular Province or University, which excels its Neighbours, for we are all a Band of Brothers in America, with whate- ver Province or Society we are more immedi- ately connected, and the flourishing of any
one Member strengthens and enriches the whole Body, therefore every Individual should extend his Views to every Part of the great Whole, which ought equally to partake of his good Wishes and Efforts—our Interests are so happily interwoven that one Province ever re- ceives an Advantage from the Prosperity of another, we are all embarked in the common Cause of Liberty, and our Success in this im- portant Concern depends upon our UNION, which together with the Cultivation of Learn- ing, is the grand Barrier to keep out that in- ternal Fiend Tyranny, which threatens to ra- vage and desolate these delightful American Climes!
May all who are in Power and Trust in A- merica imitate the Fidelity and Vigilance of guardian Angels in watching over the Rights and defending the Liberties of the People, and advancing their Interest and Happiness— And a noble Ambition warm and animate e- very one to promote the glorious Things we have been contemplating, that Religion, Li- berty and Learning, with all their bright At- tendants may reign in America, through suc- cessive Eras until sublunary Things are no more.
Last Saturday arrived at Boston the Ship Sally, Capt. Gustavus Fellows, in 7 Weeks from Lon- don, by whom we have Advices to the 20th of July.
L O N D O N, July 4.
The casting up the poll books yesterday for the election of Sheriffs, the numbers were as follows, viz. for Alderman Wilkes 2515; Mr. Bull 2194; Mr. Plumbe 1895; Mr. Oliver 119: whereupon the two first were declared duly elected which was received by a very numerous con- course of people in Guildhall, with long and loud acclamations; Mr. Wilkes afterwards addressed the Livery to the
following purport:
Gentlemen of the Livery and Fellow Citizens,
Thank you for the honor now confer'd on me; and I con- gratulate yourselves upon the victory which you have gained over the united efforts of public enemies and treacherous friends. The base seed of bribery and corruption practised on this occasion, and nobly spurned by you, must convince the most profligate and abandoned administration, with which this nation was ever cursed, that the City of London is not to be sold or enslaved. It is to be hoped that the same happy union will enable us to baffle any fu- ture efforts of the common enemy. In return for so distinguished a mark of your favour, you may be assured, that I will not be wanting in any part of the duty of my office, but that I will dedi- cate my time and application to the public service. One part of the business, however, I must decline, and leave to my worthy col- league: I mean petitions to the House of Commons. These I cannot carry up, as I am at this Moment a legal member of that House. Being chosen a Representative by the freeholders of Mid- dlesex, I hold myself as essential a branch of the British Legislature, as any individual of which it is composed; and I here pledge myself never to relinquish their or my right. I will seize every Opportunity of doing justice to them and to the whole Nation in that capital point. [Here he was interrupted by a form of applause.] Gentlemen, the highest praises are due to the Sheriffs; their con- duct on this occasion has been remarkable for candour and impar- tiality, and it is impossible upon the whole their general conduct can be exceeded in publick spirit, integrity, and independence. I hope however, that it will be at least equalled by that of their Successors.
Then Mr. Bull spoke nearly as follows:
Gentlemen of the Livery and Fellow Citizens,
I think myself the more indebted to you for the honour now conferred upon me, that it was on my side entirely unsolicited, and that you thought proper to join me with so able and worthy a Colleague. I am not a Man of many words nor do I chuse to deal much in professions. Let me, however beg leave to assure you, that I will do my best endeavours to discharge the duties of the im- portant Office of Sheriff; and that, as I never had, so I never shall have, any other object in standing forth upon the public stage, but the peace, the prosperity, the honour and independance of the City of London.
A correspondent says, that Mr. Wilkes's arm, on the Sheriff's Chariot will be adorned with two Supporters, Lord North and Par- son H-rne.
On the night of the election of the Sheriffs, the principal Streets of the City were illuminated.
A great Personage is said to have declared, that he will, on no account, admit the popular Patriot into his presence, but that, when he comes in his magisterial capacity, upon any public occa- sion, he must expect to be received only by the Lord in waiting.
A considerable Merchant has lost 7000l. by the event of the late election.
On Tuesday night the young Prince was christened by the Arch- bishop of Canterbury by the Name of Ernest-Augustus.
An account of the death of the late King of Sweden has been delivered by the Envoy Extraordinary to his Majesty.
A motion was made last Week by the Livery, and universally agreed to, that the Common Council be desired to present a Silver Cup to the Right Hon. Lord Mayor, of the value of 200l. with the City Arms engraved thereon, and to Mr. Alderman Wilkes and Oliver one each, of the value of 100l. as a mark of their gratitude for their upright conduct in the affair of the Printers, and for sup- porting the City Characters.
The late poll for the election of Sheriffs has cost Mr. Bull not less than 718l. and the Sherivalty of himself and Wilkes will amount to 300l. more.
It is said a motion will be made the next Common Council for allowing Mr. Wilkes 1500l. out of the Chamber of the City, to- wards defraying the expence of his present office.
Messrs Wilkes and Bull have given orders to Mr. Wright, of Long-acre, for building two very elegant chariots.
In the very height of the poll on Monday at Guildhall, a young woman about sixteen decently dressed, made her appearance there, leading in her father, an aged man, of about four-score to vote for Alderman Wilkes; when they approached the hustings, the Hall resounded with the shouts of the People, and after he had given
his vote, they were re-conducted by the populace, with that affec- tion and veneration which so much public virtue deserved.
A correspondent says, the Ministry are using every art to conceal the true destination of the fleet now fitting out on account of a fresh insult received from the Spaniards in America.
It is confidently asserted that the T-----ry Board have sunk about 20,000l. within this month in secret service.
The prophecy of the Earl of Chatham seems now veryifying a- pace. When speaking of the conduct of the present Ministry, he said, "You have made Mr. Wilkes your Master; you will soon made him Sheriff for London and Middlesex, and afterwards Lord Mayor."
One of the intentions of Mr. Wilkes as Sheriff, is to displace Serjeants at Mace, and Bailiffs, after being one year in office.
The two following toasts are now drank.
"May the Sheriffs white wand triumph over the Ministers black-rod."
May patriotic principles be never let out on Ministerial interest. July 5. Yesterday the Sheriffs, with the City Remonstrancer, waited upon his Majesty at St. James's, to know his Royal Plea- sure when he would receive the Address, Remonstrance, and Pe- tition, agreed upon by the Livery at the last Common hall. They attended above two hours before they had an audience, when his Majesty was pleased to appoint Wednesday next, at two o'clock, to receive the Addresses.
Mr. Sheriff Bull is elected a member to appleby's, and the Standard Tavern.
July 9. Yesterday there was a full Board of Admiralty, at which the Earl of Sandwich presided; at the breaking up of which orders were sent to the Commissioners of the different Dock-Yards for the repairing of several men of war, which on a late survey have been found to stand greatly in need thereof.
A council is summoned to meet this morning at the Secretary of State's Office, to take into consideration (as is supposed) the an- swer to be given to the City Remonstrance.
When the Aldermen were to pass sentence on Edward Twine Carpenter for the assault on Mr. Wheble by virtue of the King's Proclamation, Mr. Alderman Wilkes quitted the Court, and the Lord Mayor who staid behind was against any imprisonment; but the rest of the Bench were unanimous in their sentence of two months imprisonment.
The Venus frigate is ordered to be fitted out in the most elegant manner at Portsmouth for the reception of his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, who is going to the Mediterranean.
Extract of a letter from a Hague, July 2.
"We have just received advice here, that not only frigates, but likewise all ships of war, without distinction, of every nation, are forbidden by the King of Spain to enter into any of the ports of his States; and we are assured his motives for this step are, that it has been perceived for a long time past, that ships which are not subjected to Visitation have greatly abused the permission granted them by the Spanish Monarch of putting into his ports, by ex- posing not only a great quantity of gold and silver in money and in ingots, but also by carrying on a contraband trade with the Inha- bitants, which has greatly prejudiced the Revenue of the Crown.
July 10. It is said Mr. Bull's expences by being elected to the office of Sheriff will not be less than 4,000l.; 1000l. for the ex- pences of the Election, and 1500l. a piece for himself and Mr. Wilkes during the office, for Mr. Bull it is said is to pay the piper for both: however it is imagined that this will be amply made up to him in his increased sale of TEAS, the Patriots in town and country having agreed to a man to suffer nothing but BULL'S FINE MASON to be drank in their families.
Mr. Wilkes has been applied to by many of his friends to go in the procession this day to St. James's with the Remonstrance, but the Alderman has judiciously refused.
Yesterday orders were sent to the High Constable of Westminster, to attend this day at St. James's with a number of Constables, for the preservation of the peace, and to prevent any riots or tumults that may happen.
Bets of 500l. to 1000l. are laid at the west end of the town, that most of the articles of the Remonstrance, to be presented this day will be granted; & that an extinction of party will be accomplish- ed before Michaelmas day next.
The following is a copy of a Letter received on Tuesday night by the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, from the Earl of Hert- ford, Lord Chamberlain:
"My Lord,
9 July, 1771.
"As in consequence of the notice given of the time your Lord- ship proposes setting out To-Morrow, the Livery may be induced to attend your Lordship to St. James's, I have the King's commands to acquaint you, that it being unprecedented to admit the Livery upon such occasions, as well as impracticable to introduce so nu- merous a body, no persons beyond the number allowed by law to present petitions to the Throne will be admitted, except your Lordship, the Aldermen, Common Council, and City Officers.
I am, with the greatest respect, my Lord,
your Lordship's most obedient humble servant,
Grosvenor-Arket, 9 July.
HERTFORD."
July 10. On the Lord Mayor's coming into Council he read the Letter above-mentioned to the Livery then assembled; in con- sequence of which a Committee of ten (the number allowed by law to present a petition) was appointed from the body to attend the Lord Mayor into the King's presence.
Yesterday morning the Lord Mayor caused copies of the above letter to be stuck up in divers parts of the city, that the Livery might be acquainted with the same.
July 11. Yesterday morning his Majesty came from Richmond, and gave audience to several of the Ministry and principal Officers of State, previous to his receiving the Address, Remonstrance, and Petition of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, &c.
Yesterday the Lord Mayor, attended by the Aldermen Stephenson, Trecothick, Townsend, Sawbridge and Oliver, the two Sheriffs, &c. with upwards of 100 of the Common Council, in about 50 Carriages, attended by the committee appointed from the Livery to attend the Lord Mayor into the King's presence, with Sir James Hodges, (Town-Clerk) the City Marshal, &c. &c. pro- ceeded, amidst the greatest acclamations of the people, to St. James's with the following Address, Remonstrance and Petition, which was read to his Majesty by the Town-Clerk, viz.
"Most Gracious Sovereign,
WE your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen and Livery of the City of London, in the anguish of our Hearts, beg leave to approach your royal person, and deeply to lament that we still suf- fer, together with many others, all those Great and unparallelled Grievances, which we have before submitted to your Majesty, with the hope of a full and speedy Redress from our Sovereign, as the Father of his People.
"The same arbitrary House of Commons which violated the sacred Right of Election, and seated among themselves, as a Re- presentative of the People, a Man who was never chosen into Par- liament, have the last Session, proceeded to the most extravagant Outrages against the Constitution of this Kingdom, and the Liberty of the Subject, of which your Majesty is by Law the great Guar- dian. They have ventured to imprison our Chief Magistrate, and one of our Aldermen, for disobeying their illegal Orders, and not violating the holy sanction of their Oaths to this great City, as well as their duty to their Country. They have, by the most artful suggestions, prevailed upon your Majesty, to suffer your royal Name

to give a pretended Authority to a Proclamation, issued at their express desire, contrary to the known Laws of the Land. At length they proceeded to the enormous Wickedness of erasing a judicial Record, in order to stop the Course of Justice, and to frustrate all possibility of Relief by an appeal to those Laws, which are the noblest birthright and inheritance of all the Subjects of this Realm.
"During the unjust Confinement of our Representatives, they proceeded to a Law, depriving the Citizens of London of a considerable Part of their Property in the Soil of the River Thames, solemnly granted to them by divers Charters, and confirmed by the authority of Parliament; and, under colour of Equity, inserted in that Law an unusual saving Clause, subversive of the known and established Laws of Property; they have, without any pretence of an Abuse, superseded the Conservancy of the River Thames in the liberty which the Citizens of London have enjoyed from the Conquest."
We therefore, your Remonstrants, again supplicate your Majesty to Restore our Rights, and to give peace to this distracted Nation, by a speedy Dissolution of Parliament, and by removing your present wicked and despotic Ministers for ever from your Councils and Presence."
To which Address, Remonstrance and Petition his Majesty was pleased to return the following Answer;
I Shall ever be ready to exert my Prerogative, as far as I can constitutionally, in redressing any real Grievances of my Subjects: and the City of London will always find me disposed to listen to any of their well grounded Complaints; It is therefore with Concern that I see a Part of my Subjects still so far misled & deluded, as to renew, in such reprehensible Terms, a Request, with which, I have repeatedly declared, I cannot comply.
July 16. It is said some precedents have been found, where the Barons of the Exchequer have set aside persons who have been chosen to serve the office of Sheriff. The searching for such precedents makes it to be imagined, that there is an intention of using them, if possible, against Mr. Wilkes.
The Earl of Dunmore, Capt. Lawrence, who is arrived off Dover from New-York, completed his voyage in two months and twenty seven days from the Downs to New-York and back; the quickest passages that ever was known.
July 17. Monday some particular dispatches were sent off from Lord Hillsborough's office, for his Excellency Governor Tryon at North-Carolina, relative to the affair of the Regulators.
Yesterday was held a Court of Lord-Mayor and Aldermen at Guildhall, when Messrs. Wilkes and Bull gave bond to serve the Office of Sheriff.
We are assured, that in less than a month the preliminary articles of peace will be signed between Russia and the Porte.
Gen. Paoli will certainly leave this kingdom before the end of next month, he having received a commission from his Danish Majesty, appointing him to a command in his service.
The Lord Mayor has made Mr. Alderman Wilkes a present (for his new chair) of the two fine long tailed horses which he had when he served the Office of Sheriff.
July 18. The measures adopted by the Ministry for making the American Governors independent of the provinces, seems very well calculated to secure the dominion of the mother country: while the Governors depended entirely upon the provincial assemblies for their salary, they were always slaves to the party preponderating, & were often led into concessions, not a little injurious to the supremacy of England: the removal of the cause therefore will naturally annihilate the effect, and we shall not make the guardians of our rights the unavoidable betrayers of our prosperity.
Mis Elizabeth Knowles, daughter of Sir Charles Knowles (now at the court of Petersburg) is appointed one of the Maids of honour to her Majesty.
A correspondent says, "His Majesty told the Sheriffs, he would receive the Lord Mayor and Aldermen; by which it is supposed the Livery are to stand without side the gate as a proper punishment for their insolence in chusing Mr. Wilkes Sheriff."
July 19. We have the pleasure to acquaint the public, that the Earl of Rochford has sent a very spirited memorial to the French Court, insisting on the immediate payment of the money due on account of the Canada papers; & that a firm resolution is at length taken, that this matter shall no longer remain the disgrace of our public conduct, and a stain on the national honour.
July 20. Admiral Montague, new Commander in North-America, is appointed Rear Admiral of England, in the room of Admiral Holbourne, deceased.
It is thought that Sir John Bently, Knight, Vice-Admiral of the White, and one of the present Directors, will succeed to the Governorship of Greenwich Hospital, in the room of the late Admiral Holbourne.
Orders were on Tuesday last sent from the Admiralty Office, to the Commissioners of Chatham, Sheerness, and Portsmouth, for an immediate account to be transmitted of the number of frigates which are fit to be employed as cruizers, with their names, number of guns, &c.
Mr. Wilkes is very ill and close at present, so that it is tho' he is making searches as well as my Lord Chancellor.
Several letters from the Levant mention the continued successes of the Russians over the Turks, so that the fate of Constantinople is expected to be known before Christmas.
Notwithstanding the young king of Sweden has made the warmest professions of friendship to our court, we are well assured, that some underhand negotiation is now carrying on between him and the court of France.
Advice is received, that three Spanish men of war lately fell in with five Algerine xebecs, within twenty leagues of Malaga, and after a smart engagement, took three of them, sunk the other two, and made for Cadiz with their prizes. Upon examining them, it appeared that they had been out on a cruise five weeks; and, during that time, had robbed several merchant ships of the most valuable part of their cargoes. The three taken had on board a large quantity of French wines and brandy, which it is supposed they had taken out of some French ships. The letters further say, that as the officers could produce no authority from the Dey of Algiers for committing such hostilities, they will be dealt with by the Spaniards as pirates. Amongst the common sailors on board the xebecs were men of different nations, who have been made slaves, and, as they say, were forced into the service.
Norwich July 6. Thursday on the arrival of the post with the account of Messrs. Wilkes and Bull being elected Sheriffs of London, their friends here set the bells a ringing; and, in the evening, a painted canvas fixed on a gibbet, on one side of which were painted the portraits of the Lords M---d and B---e chained together, and on the other side, Townsh-d, H---ne, and Judas, with their names at length, was carried in procession about the town, and torn to pieces in the flesh market, under the sign of Mr. Wilkes, amidst the acclamations of a great number of persons.
Naples May 14. The lava of Mount Vesuvius, having made itself a new opening, has destroyed many hundred acres of land, and ruined several individuals.
Lower Elbe June 14. It is said that a body of 40,000 Prussians have received order to march through Poland, in order to join the Russian army.
Retzschon, [Germany] June 8. We this moment learn, that the Imperial troops are already on their march for Transylvania, where the Emperor is to assemble an army of 160,000 men, which will extend to the frontiers of Turkey in order to compel the Belligerent powers

L O N D O N June 10. In order to inculcate in the minds of our youth a true sense of religion, morality, and good manners, the celebrated letters of the honourable Mr. Wilkes and the pious Mr. Horne, will be selected immediately after they have closed their accounts and proved to the publick that they are men of undeniable characters.--- These letters (at least the abstruse passages) will be illustrated with explanatory notes by Humphrey Cotes, John Reynolds, and Robert Morris; they will be comprised in one volume, about the size of Johnson's folio Dictionary; and the Society of the bill of rights will make a law, that these books and no other, shall be allowed in any of the schools of England.--- The said laudable Society will also grant a Patent to the Printer of the Whispere to print the said books, who is to allow the two literary Champions 400l. a year each by way of peppercorn as an acknowledgment of possessing their valuable property.
June 11. It is imagined that before Mr. Wilkes and Mr. Horne have struck a balance, they will bring in by way of strengthening their cause, the names of half the gentlemen in London; such proceedings are mean, base and ungenerous; as they have already made free with the names of some who perhaps never spoke to them in their lives, and would not, upon any consideration, had their names quoted in so scandalous and disgraceful a dispute.
The Officers of Police in Constantinople lately made a sudden visit to the bakers of that city, and finding in the shop of one of them some bread short of weight, he hung the baker up instantly before his own door, as a sign hung out, as he expressed it, that people might not buy bread there.
Tuesday there was a numerous meeting of the Bill of Rights Society at the London Tavern, at which 43 Members dined, when the Lord Mayor subscribed 100l. and several other subscriptions were received, amounting, in the whole, to about 500l. Nineteen new Members were proposed for the next Meeting.

We are assured that Herman Husband, one of the chiefs of the Regulators so called, was not in North-Carolina, at the time of the battle at Alamance. It is said he is now in the back parts of Pennsylvania government.
We are told that Husband sold his estate in Carolina, before he was outlawed: so that it is possible the chief commander of the Alamance expedition may get into trouble for making devastations.
In Capt. Fellows from London came Passenger Mr. Jonathan Williams, jun. Son of Jonathan Williams, Esq; of this Town.

The figures they have brought here, shew the return of the Prodigal Son, the celebrated Mr. Whitefield, and the beloved Father of Philadelphia. Gentlemen acquainted with those admired personages confess their obligations to the skill and industry of these ladies for reviving the former from the grave, and presenting his numberless friends in Boston, with the living image of John Dickinson, Esq;
The following droll affair happened in this town last week. A Porter was conveying a large chest in a wheel barrow through a street at the south part of the town, when several boys discovered the finger of a human person through the key-hole. They immediately asked the porter what he had got in the chest. But he refused satisfying them, bidding them to be gone. However the boys still continued importuning him, and hallooing there was a woman in the chest, &c. whereupon the porter attempting to drive them away, when one unlucky rogue with a penknife cut a cord which was loosely tied about the chest, and lifted up the lid, where behold a young woman of the town, "lay as secure as a thief in a mill!"
The society at the London Tavern, at their last meeting came to the following resolutions:
"Resolved, That, it be recommended by this society, to every county, city and borough in this kingdom, that every person, who shall from henceforth be a candidate to serve as a member in this, or any future parliament shall be required to sign a declaration, and confirm it upon oath, that in case he is elected he will vote for, and use his utmost endeavours to procure a bill to shorten the duration of parliaments, and to reduce the number of placemen and pensioners in the House of Commons; & also endeavour to obtain a more fair and equal representation of the people; and that he will promote to the utmost of his power, an enquiry into the causes of the troubles and discontent which have distracted this country during the present reign."

From the First Ode of the Third Book of Horace. Odi profanum Vulgus, & arceo,
An ODE. A WAY ye little vulgar Fools, I scorn your rude unpolish'd Souls; Attend and hear The Moral Rules, I dictate to the Young and Fair. Great Kings, who terrify the wondering Crowd On Earth, themselves are in the Hand of God; Who, if he moves his mighty awful Brow In Heav'n, he shakes a trembling World below. II. Fortune Inconstant, Fickle, Blind, Is seldom to the Worthy kind; And Wit and Virtue often fail, And Pow'r, and Wealth, & Bribes prevail; But Death's Impartial Dart still levels all, And the same Way, (if Rich or Poor) we fall. III. Who sits beneath the pointed Steel, In all his State is wretched still; Pale Ghastly Terrors round him keep Their dreary Watch, and banish Sleep. For Sleep and peaceful Quiet rest Within the lowly Cottage best; But deadly Fears attend the great, And Cares annoy the Regal Seat, The gentle God from Noise, and Cities flies; To Solitary Woods, and Murm'ring Trees.
IV. Who does no more desire, Than nat'ral Wants require; Who is no Slave to sordid Gain, Preserves a Soul Unruly'd, Easy, Gay; Nor tempts, nor dreads the Perils of the Main, Nor fears a stormy Day.
V. Small, but sufficient's my Estate, My House convenient, clean, and neat; Why then shou'd I of Fate complain? Why seek unnecessary Pain; I live retir'd from Cares, and Noise; And from my lowly Cell, I pity and despise The busy, little Knaves; and Fools, that dwell With Crowds, in State, and lofty Palaces.
