MEMOIRS of the late Marquis of ROCKINGHAM.
THE most noble Charles Watson Wentworth, Marquis of Rockingham, Earl of Milton, Viscount Higham, of Higham Ferrar, Baron Rockingham, of Rockingham, Baron Malton, & of Worth and Harowden in England, & Earl of Malton in Ireland, was born on the 13th of May, 1739. He took his seat in the English Parliament on the decease of his father Thomas, the first Marquis of Rockingham, on the 22d of May 1751, and on July 9 following, was constituted Lord Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of the North and West Ridings of the county of York, by the late King, to whom he was one of the Lords of the Bedchamber, in which post he was continued by his present Majesty, at whose coronation, Sept. 22, 1761, as Deputy to the Duke of Norfolk (Lord of the Manor of Worksop) he presented him with a right hand glove, before his receiving the sceptre with the cross from the Archbishop of Canterbury, and afterwards occasionally supported by his Majesty's right hand. His Lordship also, after the King was enthroned, and whilst he received the homage of the Peers, Spiritual and Temporal, held as deputy aforesaid the said sceptre with the cross, and which having re-delivered, pronounced the words of the homage for all the Marquises. He was elected Knight of the Garter, with Earl Temple, on Feb. 4, 1760, and installed the 6th May following.
His Lordship, in 1763, resigned his offices of Lord of the Bedchamber, Lord Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of the aforesaid Ridings of Yorkshire, on account of the system of the Earl of Bute; but he was appointed First Lord of the Treasury, in the room of the Right Honorable George Grenville, on July 20, 1765, and was again appointed Lord Lieutenant of the West Riding of Yorkshire, &c. and during this administration, the characteristic of which was the repeal of the Stamp Act, he displayed such sound principles, such an enlargement of mind, such clear and sagacious sense, and such unshaken fortitude, as to bind a most extensive and honorable party of men by an invaluable attachment to him from that time forward. Mr. Burke, describing the conduct and circumstances of this great measure, concludes thus: "The question of the repeal, was brought in by Ministry in the Committee of the House of Commons, at the very instant when it was known that more than one court negotiation was carrying on with the heads of the opposition. Every thing upon every side was full of traps and mines. Earth below shook; heaven above menaced; all the elements of ministerial safety were dissolved. It was in the midst of this chaos of plots and counterplots; it was in the midst of
this compleat warfare against public opposition, and private treachery, that the firmness of that noble person (the Marquis of Rockingham) was put to the proof. He never stirred from his ground; no, not an inch. He remained fixed and determined in principle, in measure, and in conduct. He practised no managements. He secured no retreat. He sought no apology."
The intreagues of that faction, which were then in opposition, growing violent, the Marquis resigned his place of first Lord of the treasury, on August 1, 1766; and during the whole of the Ministry of the different men who resumed the measures of the coercion, he acted a zealous and decisive part; but, unhappily for this country, neither the influence of truth nor policy were able to move, or turn aside the impetuous torrent of that mad system, which bore down constitution, and all before it, and it was not terminated until it had well nigh involved the empire in irraparable ruin. The noble Marquis was, on the late important revolution, called again to the place of first Lord of the Treasury; and, to the great and alarming misfortune of his country, they are thus suddenly deprived of his services, when their consequence and value were just beginning to be felt.
His Lordship married on February 20, 1752, Mary, daughter and heiress of Thomas Bright, Esq. of Badsworth, in the county of York, and uncle to Lord Ravenworth, but has left no issue.
ORIGIN of the title of DAUPHIN, as applied to the HEIR of the Crown of FRANCE.
HUMBERT II. lost his eldest son at the battle of Creci; and anno 1331, while playing with his second, in the palace of Grenoble, in the province of Dauphine, accidentally let him fall from the window, by which misfortune the young Prince unhappily lost his life. Humbert, thus bereft of his two sons, retired into a convent at Paris and resigned his dominions to Philip de Valois, on condition that the eldest sons of the Kings of France should thenceforward bear the name of Dauphin; which accordingly took place, and has ever since been observed.
IT appears that the repeated Advertisements requesting all persons indebted for this Gazette, to make payment of their arrearages, has not had the desired effect: Those, therefore, who have taken no notice of them, are once more requested to settle up to the last of this month; after which time, no papers will be sent to any person who shall not have settled up to said period, and renewed his entry for the year 1783.
Those in the country, will particularly take notice, that provisions, or wood, will be taken, in all this month, of those who find it most convenient to make such payment.

P A R I S, August 19.
The Count de Grasse arrived here on the 16th instant, at night. On the 17th he went to Versailles, where, being presented to the King by the Marquis de Castries, Secretary of State for the Marine Department, he had a private conference with his Majesty for a quarter of an hour; and at half past six in the evening he returned hither with a chearful countenance; all his officers, prisoners from England, as himself on parole of honor, justify him entirely.
Aug. 23. The treaty which we have made with the Americans, is as lucrative to us as it is prejudicial to our enemies. It is certain that by the list of exportations from France to America, since the treaty, we have exported to that continent goods to the value of 73,843,200 livres tournois; and that during the course of last year only, the third of that considerable sum has been exported in merchandizes of the manufacture and other productions of this country.
L O N D O N, August 10.
Congress sticks upon its national faith, by which America is bound to France, whom she cannot abandon without dishonor. Honor bids us be as mindful of our national faith, and not shamefully desert those brave Americans, whose loyalty made them renounce every thing for us: Gratitude, justice, honor, national faith, all bind us to the loyalists; nor can we, without a violation of all those sacred ties, acknowledge the independence of America, without stipulating conditions for those gallant men, who have so faithfully adhered to, and so bravely committed murder for us.
August 20. The state of affairs between this country and Ireland is exceedingly delicate, scarcely a day passing without giving rise to some new alarm. Should the sister kingdom persevere in her design of opening a trade with the East Indies, and carry that great point in despite of the powerful opposition that will assuredly be made by the company, it must follow, that the people of this country will insist upon enjoying the same commercial privileges, or that they will traffic under the protection of Irish bottoms; so that in either case, the monopoly of the produce of the East in a few years will, in all probability, be wholly abolished.
Sept. 10. The following is said to be copies of two letters, which lately passed between the Duc de Crillon and Gen. Elliot:
"S I R,
Camp of Buenveista, Aug. 19, 1782.
"His Royal Highness, Comte d'Artois, who has received permission from the King his brother to assist at the siege, as a volunteer in the combined army of which their Most Christian and Catholic Majesties have honored me with the command, arrived in this camp the 15th instant. This young Prince has been pleased, in passing through Madrid, to take charge of some letters, which had been sent to that capital from this, and which are addressed to persons belonging to your garrison: His Royal Highness has desired that I would transmit them to you, and that to this mark of his goodness and attention, I should add the strongest expressions of esteem for your person and character. I feel the greater pleasure in giving this mark of condescension in this August Prince, as it furnishes me with a pretext which I have been anxiously looking for these two months that I have been in this camp, to assure you of the high esteem I have conceived for your Excellency; of the
sincere desire I feel of deserving yours; and of the pleasure to which I look forward of becoming your friend, after I shall have learnt to render myself worthy of the honor of facing you as an enemy. His Highness the Duke de Bourbon, who arrived here in 24 hours after Comte d'Artois, desires also that I should assure you of his particular esteem. Permit me sir, to offer you a few trifles for your table of which I am sure you must stand in need: As I know you live entirely upon vegetables, should be glad to know what kind you like best. I should add a few partridges for the gentlemen of your household, which I presume will not prove disagreeable, in the excessive heat of this climate, at this season of the year. I hope you will be obliging enough to accept the small portion which I send with this letter. I have the honor to be, &c.
His Excellency Gen. Elliot, &c.
The A N S W E R.
"SIR, Gibraltar, August 20.
"I find myself highly honored by your obliging letter of yesterday, in which your Excellency was so kind as to inform me of the arrival in your camp of His Royal Highness the Comte d'Artois, and the Duke de Bourbon, to serve as volunteers at the siege. These Princes have shown their judgment in making choice of a master in the art of war, whose abilities cannot fail to form great warriors. I am really overwhelmed with the condescension of His Royal Highness, in suffering some letters for persons in this town to be conveyed from Madrid in his carriages: I flatter myself that your Excellency will give my most profound respects to His Royal Highness and to the Duke de Bourbon, for the expressions of esteem with which they have been pleased to honor so insignificant a person as I am.
"I return a thousand thanks to your Excellency for your handsome present of fruits, vegetables and game: You will excuse me, however, I trust when I assure you, that in accepting your present, I have broken through a resolution, which I have faithfully kept since the beginning of the war; and that was, never to receive or procure by any means whatever, any provisions or other commodity for my own private use; so that without any preference, every thing is sold publicly here, and the private soldier, if he has money, can become a purchaser, as soon as the Governor. I confess I make it a point of honor, to partake both of plenty and scarcity, in common with the lowest of my brave fellow soldiers; this furnishes me with an excuse for the liberty I now take of entreating your Excellency not to heap any more favors on me of this kind, as in future I cannot convert your presents to my own private use. Indeed to be plain with your Excellency, though vegetables at this season are scarce with us, every one of us has got a quantity proportioned to the labor he has bestowed in raising them. The English are naturally fond of gardening and cultivation; and here we find our amusement in it during the intervals of rest and public duty.
"The promise which the Duc de Crillon makes to honor me, in proper time and place, with his friendship, lays me under infinite obligations: The interests of our Sovereigns being once solidly settled, I shall with eagerness embrace the first opportunity to avail myself of so precious a treasure. "I have the honor to be, &c."
His Excellency the Duc de Crillon, &c.
B O N M O T.
THE celebrated Michael Angelo having received some insult from one of the Cardinals of Rome, in revenge painted a most striking likeness of his enemy, and placed him among the damned, suffering the torments of hell. The satire had its effect. It was the topic of general admiration and merriment. The Cardinal, stung with the bitterness of the caricature, complained to his Holiness. Pope Leo X. was too much the lover of the fine arts to gratify the Cardinal's desire, and he therefore told him, that he had it not in his power to punish the offender. "If," said he, "the insult had been laid in Heaven, or the E - h, or even in Purgatory, I could, perhaps have redressed you, for I have something to say in all those places; but have no interest in hell."
N E W Y O R K, November 23.
We are informed, that a Court of Oyer and Terminer was lately held at Newtown, Bucks county, in the province of Pennsylvania, when John Tomlinson was convicted of fearing God and honoring the King (high treason) and was executed the 17th ultimo. [ It was for high way robbery ]
Copy of an Order of Congress releasing
Capt. Asgill.
By the United States in Congress assembled, November 7, 1782.
On the report of a committee to whom was referred a letter of the 19th of August, from the Commander in Chief, a report of a committee thereon, and motion of Mr. Williamson and Mr. Rutledge, relative thereto, and also another letter of the 25th of October, from the Commander in Chief, with a copy of a letter from the Count de Vergennes, dated the 29th of July last, interceding for Capt. Asgill,
Resolved, That the Commander in Chief be directed, and he is hereby directed to set Capt. Asgill at liberty.
CHARLES THOMSON, Sec'y.
Copy of a letter from General Washington to
Capt. Asgill, covering the above Resolve.
S I R, Head Quarters, 13th Nov.
"It affords me singular pleasure to have it in my power to transmit you the copy of an act of Congress of the 7th instant, by which you are released from the disagreeable circumstances in which you have so long been. Supposing you would wish to go into New York as soon as possible, I also inclose a passport for the purpose.
"Your letter of the 18th came regularly to my hands, I beg you to believe my not answering it sooner did not proceed from inattention to you, or a want of feeling for your situation. I daily expected a determination of your case, and I thought it better to await that, than to feed you with hopes, that might in the end prove fruitless. You will attribute the detention of the enclosed letters which have been in my hands about a fortnight, to the same cause.
"I cannot take leave of you, Sir, without assuring you, in whatever light my agency in this unpleasing affair may be received, I never was influenced thro' the whole of it, by sanguinary motives, but by what I conceived a sense of my duty, which loudly called upon me to take measures, however disagreeable, to prevent a repetition of those enormities which have been the subject of discussion, and that this important end is likely to be answered, without the effusion of the blood of an innocent person, is not a greater relief to you, than it is to,
Sir, Your most obedient, and humble serv't, (Signed) G. WASHINGTON.

FISH-KILL, December 5.
The enemy, we learn, are fortifying at Huntington. They have pitched on a burying yard for that purpose, and have dug up graves and grave stones to the great grief of the people there, who, when they remonstrated against the proceeding, received nothing but abuse in return.
We learn that Mr. Rivington received a severe reprimand for a late forgery of a letter, he published under the signature of Elliot, commanding at Gibraltar.
NEWPORT, November 30.
Last Wednesday evening arrived here a small Schooner, prize to the privateer Schooner Rochambeau, Capt. Reed, of this port; and this morning arrived an armed galley, of 8 carriage guns, and had 38 men, captured by the above privateer off the Hook after a close engagement of one glass, during which, Capt. Reed lost a prize master (Mr. Benjamin Cornell, of this town.) The galley had her Captain and one other officer killed, and several wounded.
The Captain of the above galley is said to be the noted Davenport, who has committed so many depredations in the Jerseys; the other person who was killed is one Bently, late of this State, who deserted from Col. Greene's regiment, and gave the enemy intelligence of his situation, by which that brave but unfortunate officer, with Major Flagg, were cruelly massacred.
SPRINGFIELD, November 26.
Extract of a letter from Hartford, Nov. 23.
"I have nothing new to communicate, except that our State seems determined to resent the injustice of your's in establishing so iniquitous a law as the Pine Board Act: Judgment cannot be obtained within our courts, for the recovery of any debts, due to persons within your State, and the reasons assigned for withholding it is, that no debt can be recovered from you but in the worst articles specified in the aforesaid act."
BOSTON, December 12.
About 3 o'clock on Friday morning last, a ship of about 300 tons burthen, lying off the end of long wharf, by some accident took fire, and was almost consumed, together with her cargo of masts, spars, &c. But her remains, through the vigilance and activity of the officers and men of the French fleet (which are always most apparently striking upon all such occasions) were conducted to Dorchester point, which prevented her from communicating the flames to the men of war and other ships in this harbour.
In the last week, his Most Christian Majesty's regiments of Bourbonnois, Soissonois, Santonge and Deux Ponts, under the command of his Excellency the Baron de Viomenil, arrived in town from the southward — When we reflect upon the uninterrupted harmony that has subsisted between the allied armies, the number and rank of the officers that have left their native country, to embark in the glorious cause of America, we must consider it as a happy presage of the continuance of an alliance formed upon such principles as cannot fail to produce lasting advantages to both nations.
We learn by the Southern post, that upwards of 40 head of cattle were last week taken at White Plains, destined for the enemy at New York.
SALEM, December 12.
The following notification, (copies of which the enemy have dispersed in the Eastern parts of this State) was lately bro't in here by a vessel from the Eastward.
"By Order of the General."
"ALL persons are hereby informed, that as the province of Sagadahock, from Kennebeck river to Fort Howe, is under martial law till civil government can be established: Therefore all the inhabitants of Penobscot river, Bagwaduce river, Blue Hill bay, Union river, Nalsig, the Reach, Benjamin's river, Fox islands, Deer island, Long island, Belfast, Cape Jellison, Cape Rosea, &c. &c. who have neglected to obey the different summonses, in not attending their duty on Fort George, are once more called upon to come here immediately, and work their tours. — Such as neglect this last summons, may expect to have their cattle and other property destroyed. — All persons who see this order are desired to acquaint their neighbours of it, that they may be left without excuse.
Robert Pagan,
Commissary of inhabitants. Campbell Town, Penobscot, Oct. 24, 1782."
The above Pagan, it is said, formerly appeared in the character of a Christian, and was an inhabitant with the people of that profession, in an eastern part of this State, till the Calf of Britain induced him to turn again to Idolatry, and shew himself what he was from his birth, a Pagan.

ON the 27 th of September last, one Bartlet, hired a horse, saddle and bridle, of the subscriber, to go as far as Dover, but has not returned it, which creates a suspicion that he is gone off with the same. Said Bartlet is about 6 feet high, wears his own hair, and had on a wrapper with a red velvet cape, and a blue jacket.
