B O S T O N, July 9, 1772. Monday last arrived here His Majesty's Ship Fowey, of 24 Guns, Captain Lobb, from England. Same Day arrived here Captain White from London; by whom we have Papers one or two Days later than those by the Falmouth Vessel inserted in our last: The few Articles are as follows.
L O N D O N, April 29, 1772. C APTAIN Wilkinson of his Majesty's Ship Fowey, of 24 guns, is appointed to the command of the Winchelsea, of 32 guns, at Portsmouth.
Captain Lobb is appointed to command the Fowey in the room of Capt. Wilkinson.
His Majesty, in consideration of the present high price of provisions, has ordered one shilling per week to be added to the pay of each Labourer employed at Richmond and Kew, and also a pot of beer per day, for the better support of their wives and families.
We are assured that his Majesty has ordered an annuity of 20l. per. annum to be paid to the widow of the journeyman Slater, that was killed by falling from Kew-house, as already mention in this paper.
May 2. The Company at the Pantheon Masqued Ball, on Thursday Evening were near 2000 in Number, among the Characters was a Sultana, Lady Villars, with an astonishing Quantity of Diamonds, to the Value of 30,000l. half of which was her own Property.
By a gentleman just arrived from Paris, we are informed the Pretender, from his being so many years devoted to his bottle, had no great devotion to the deed of matrimony, but was edged on by the French Court to preserve the breed of Stuart, as a future convenience to their machinations. It is likewise said, that the French King has added considerably to the Princess's fortune.
Yesterday orders were given to several of his Majesty's domestics, to be in readiness to embark on the first notice for Copenhagen, to conduct Princess Carolina Matilda from that place to Zell, in the Electorate of Hanover, which is to be her place of residence.
The same day orders were sent to Capt. Hamilton, who is appointed to have the command of one capital ship, and two frigates, to sail to Copenhagen on said occasion, the first opportunity.
On Thursday the House ordered, that an instruction is to be given to the Committee for regulating the Importation and Exportation of Corn, that they make a provision for regulating the Importation & Exportation of Barley; and to permit the Importation of Indian Corn from America duty free.—Also to admit Wheat, &c. to be imported, duty free, from Ireland, when the Exportation thereof shall be prohibited from Great Britain and Ireland to foreign Countries.
The same day the House unanimously resolved, That no Bill relating to Religion, or the Alteration of the Laws concerning Religion, be brought into this House, until the proposition shall have been first considered in a Committee of the whole House, and agreed unto by the House; which Resolution was made a standing order of the House.
The Bill to regulate the Importation and Exportation of Corn, will be reported on Monday.
Yesterday the further hearing on the Royal Africa Committee Bill, and also the Bill for the better relief of his Majesty's Protestant Subjects dissenting from the Church of England, were postponed.
There are in Newgate for trial at the Old Bailey session which begins on Wednesday next, upwards of 160 prisoners.
Rome, April 4. A few Days ago the Duke of Gloucester went to see the Rarities of the Capitol, and from thence to examine the curious Monuments which are in the Hotel of the Conservators, and those in the Museum Capitol. The Abbe Visconti, Commissary of Antiquities, whom the Pope had sent as an Interpreter, had an opportunity of conversing a long Time with the Duke, and communicated to him many of his Discoveries, which no Person had ever made before him; among others, he demonstrated to him that the Figure placed
in the Vestible of the Museum, hitherto known under the Denomination of the God Pan, does not represent that Heathen Divinity, but the Cyclops Poliphemus, who killed some of Ulysses's Companions. His single Eye being covered to this Day, with modern Stucko, prevented its being known whose Representation it is.
Copenhagen, April 18. Last Sunday the Commission of Inquisition assembled at the Castle, and the day following the state prisoners were again interrogated with pleading the cause of the Counts de Struenfee and Brandt hath determined and obtained a delay of eight days.
There are just arrived here Three Couriers from London.
The future lot of the state prisoners continues to fix the curiosity of the public, who wait with impatience the decision of their process.
L O N D O N May 4. It is now confidently said that nothing but the customary supplies will be demanded from the Parliament; and that this advantage is owing to the prudent administration of Lord North, who, besides avoiding the imposition of any new burdens upon the subject, has paid off 1,800,000l. of the national debt in the course of the past winter.
The report of Sir Robert Keith's return from Copenhagen, as an invention of hostility against the Danes, is entirely without foundation. All matters are now finally settled between the two Courts, and if Sir Robert comes over for any time, it will be just as Sir Joseph Yorke has done, merely on his own private affairs, with a view of returning the very first opportunity.
On Sunday morning five loaded waggons with provisions and other necessaries, were sent away from St. James's for Deal, to be put on board his Majesty's Ships destined for the Baltick, to escort her Royal Highness Carolina Matilda to Zell, and this morning several persons belonging to the board of Green Cloth, will set out to embark on board the said ships for that purpose.
Carlton House is now fitting up with great magnificence for the reception of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. The additional furniture (though that in the Princess Dowager's time was very splendid) it is said, will amount to 15,000l. and the Prince will reside there the beginning of next winter, as by that time his household will be thoroughly established. Extract of a Letter from Naples, April 10, 1772.
"This Country seems to give birth to crimes unequal'd in any part of the world for their cruelty and guilt. Whether it is that this proceeds from the uncommon heat of the climate working upon the blood of the people, or from some other cause, is uncertain; but we have frequent instances here of crimes which are dreadful even beyond credibility. A few days ago two Artisans who were drinking together, quarrelled in their cups; on which one of them drew a stiletto, and laid his companion dead upon the spot. A soldier who was present, resolving to be revenged of the assassin for the murder of the deceased, who was his friend, snatched up a knife from a table, and plunged it in his heart. This latter though the blood gushed very fast from his wound, pursued the soldier holding the stiletto still in his hand: but despairing of overtaking him he took the barbarous resolution to stab every one that came in his way. He soon laid seven persons dead upon the street, and wounded many more. This monster at last exhausted by loss of blood, fell down; and a Priest coming to give him assistance, he raised his arm to stab him, but expired before he could strike the blow. This is the last of many accidents which happened lately in these parts."
The appeal between the Nobleman, and Mr. Penn, which took up several days before a Committee of the Privy-Council at Whitehall, relative to the property of a place called Mill-Island, on the River Delaware, near Philadelphia, is determined in favour of the latter.
A Letter from Constantinople, dated March 19, says, "A squadron is fitting out to oppose the Enemy's projects in the Black Sea, and several Thousand Workmen are sent
to the Streights of Constantinople, to repair the Forts and erect new Batteries and Entrenchments, in order to make those Streights as formidable as the Dardanelles. His Highness has entered into Contract with several Merchants of different Nations to furnish this Capital with Provisions, and foreign Vessels are daily arriving here with them; so then there is at present sufficient in the Magazines for the Support of an Army.
A Correspondent says the following may be depended on: Every Thing is accommodated with the Court of Denmark. Two Men of War are ordered to sail immediately to Copenhagen with several Officers of his Majesty's Household on board to conduct the Queen of Denmark to Patatz from thence to Hanover, where she is to reside during Life.
Mr. Bradshaw is appointed one of the Lords of the Admiralty.
Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman at Rome,
"His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, finding the Air so well to agree with him, will stay here till Easter at least. His Royal Highness could not be better received or more caressed in any part of the Globe than he is here. I don't know whether you would, even in England, go beyond the respectful Welcome the Pope and Roman Nobility give him: A precise Detail of all the Instances of it would go much beyond the Bounds of a Letter; but I am glad there is that charitable and human Principle now so universal in the World, that even in the Court of Rome there is not the least Idea of Dislike to a Person on account of Religion, but a Protestant Prince is received with as much Cordiality as the best Friend to the Church. There are four Pictures painting there of his Royal Highness. Mr. Dufign, an English Painter, paints two Pictures of him, one a whole Length, another half, Pompeo paints him: Mr. Hewetson has modelled him in Clay; and Signior Pickler is to cut his head in a Cameo."
P H I L A D E L P H I A, July 2. One of the People belonging to Capt. Hunt, lately cast away on Cape Look Out, is come to Town, and informs, that a Farmer looking for his Cattle, found on the Shore near Stump Inlet, almost expiring, Mary Trigleth, a young Woman, who was Passenger on board the same Vessel, and was providentially cast ashore, after being 7 Days alone on Part of the Wreck, driving at the Mercy of the Sea, without any thing to eat or drink; the Farmer took her to his House, where by kind usage she soon recovered.
N E W - Y O R K, July 2. Yesterday Morning arrived here, the Remainder of the Third Division of the Royal Americans, under the Command of Colonel Provest.
The Earl of Halifax Packet, Capt. Boulter, sails this Day with the Mail for Falmouth.
P R O V I D E N C E, July 4. Since our last Captain John Peck arrived here from the River Mississippi, with whom came Passenger Joseph Nash, Esq; of this Town. By him we learn, that since the Conclusion of the Peace the French and Spaniards had seduced seven Nations of Indians from the English, by means of Medals, Colours & other Presents, & settled them on the western Banks of the Mississippi; but that John Thomas, Esq; Deputy Superintendent of Indian Affairs in that Department, has lately arrived there, and from his former Acquaintance with the Indians, and the surprizing Influence he has over them, all the above Nations have determined to return and settle on the English Side of the River.—The warlike Nation of the Arkansas have determined to join the Chickasaws, Shashanese and Cherokees, in a War against the Kickadoos, for killing some English Settlers on the Ohio and Mississippi.
We further learn, that an unhappy Dispute having lately arisen between the Superintendent and Mr. Harris, a Merchants Clerk at Fort Bute, on the River, they both drew their Swords, when Mr. Harris was killed on the Spot, and the Superintendent, slightly wounded. He immediately delivered himself up, and was to take his Trial at Pensacola.
A few Days before Captain Peck sailed for New-Orleans, an Ordinance was published by the Governor of Louisiana, by Order of his Catholic Majesty, prohibiting the In-

roduction of all sorts of foreign Cotton Stuffs, or other Stuffs mixed with Cotton under the Penalty of such Goods being confiscated, & of 20 Bits for every Yard of such Goods that shall be seized.—The like Prohibition, we learn, will take place throughout his Catholic Majesty's Dominions.
N E W - L O N D O N, June 5. Last Thursday night the house of Mr. Joseph Way of Chesterfield Society, in this town, was struck by lightning, which came down the chimney, burst open all the doors and windows in the house, ripped off the window caps, raised the Chamber floor and roof, and removed one of the main posts of the house several inches from its place, burst down the partitions, entered a bed room where a child lay in bed, and destroyed a case and set of bottles therein, & killed a dog— although a number of persons were in the house, providentially none of them received any hurt.
B O S T O N, July 13 We hear from Providence, that the Indians applied to Sir William Johnson, for a Revenge against the white Man, who killed their Brethren, as lately mentioned; and Sir William not giving them the Satisfaction they required, they have burnt his fine Seat to the ground, and he has but just escaped with Life.
Last Week arrived the Lizard Frigate, Capt. English from North-Carolina: We have been employed in examining the Woods in the Southern District as far as Florida, in order to determine what Supply for the Royal Navy may be depended upon from those Parts of his Majesty's Dominions.
Friday last arrived a transport Brig from New-York; she sailed from thence in company with several others, said to be designed to take on Board the 14th Regiment now quartered at Castle William, in order to carry them to a Southern Climate on a secret Expedition.
We hear that Capt. Stanton of Charlestown, going to the Eastward in a large Schooner, which having but little Ballast and very crank, the Vessel overset, and two Men that were in the Cabin, and his Negro at the Helm, were drowned. Capt. Stanton got to the Rudder, and from thence on the side of the Vessel, where he held about seven Hours, when he was met by a Vessel bound to Newbury-Port, which took him up, and towed the Schooner into that Port.
The COMPLAINTS of the several Counties against the Valuation.
Suffolk exclaims against her Portion, Essex joins with great Devotion; Poor Middlesex is not behind, And Worcester cries, alas, unkind; Hampshire is roused as from a Dream, And sings Oppression for her Theme; Berkshire is roused like a TRYON, Bristol sounds like a thundering Lyon: Lincoln cast down, and quite dejected, York is serious and much affected, Sorrow caught hold of Cumberland, Plymouth is struck beneath the Sand; Barnstable in Sorrow is dumb with Grief, Nantucket sues for some Relief: Dukes-County now brings up the Rear, O'ercome with Grief, bequeaths a Tear.
P O R T S M O U T H Messieurs Fowles, Please to insert the following.
Love defended.
Love, the most noble Passion, rules the Soul. IT is common for Men to ridicule what they do not understand, and despise what they never felt; hence it is, that so many affect to ridicule the most agreeable Passion in the human Mind, LOVE. When a noble Object is presented to View, which is in it's Nature suitable to Man, not to love it, discovers Insensibility and Meanness. To hear a Gentleman discourse with, or about an amiable LADY, with the same Air of Indifference as if conversing about a Marble Statue, is an infallible Mark of want of elevated Sentiments and delicate Passions. He that can behold a blooming Fair, in whose Breast the most shining Virtues meet, where the noble Passions reign, and give to Beauty every Charm, unmoved, and feel no Transports of Joy, no Emotions of Pleasure in his Mind— is little better than a Block, scarcely more alive than his primeval Dust! O! ADAM! look down and scorn thy degenerate Sons, who cease to love thy fair and lovely Daughters!
In vain Man seeks for Happiness in Gold, in Power, Titles, Equipage or Sound, all is empty Air, — he can taste no solid Bliss 'till Heaven gives him a joyous Nymph, one to his Wish, exactly to his Heart's Desire, to bless his circling Years, and fill his Cup of Pleasure full! Then sweet as the rosy Morn, bright as the burning Noon, serene as the smiling Eve, his Life rolls on! — Like the Sun and Moon, the King of Day, and Queen Night, the happy Pair shine in their Orbits, scatter Blessings in their Spheres, and glance propitious Smiles on all around!
Ye Sons of Science, who ken the planetary World, and trace the Stars in their winding Maze, to please a curious Mind, turn from those distant tasteless Scenes, and fix your Eyes on your Kindred Fair, made for Man's Delight! — Ye ruddy Swains, who till the Soil or plow the Main, to find the shining Dust, give o'er your vain Pursuits, and seek the Fair, who far outshine all glittering Things beneath the Sun, and are the Source of sublunary Bliss. All ye that sit on lofty Thrones, or move in humbler Spheres embrace the virtuous Fair, and find the solid Joy unknown before! — In this delightful Circle spend thy golden Time, and know this important Truth, LOVE, and BLISS, are one. MARS.
On FRIENDSHIP. Friendship is Love from all it's dross refin'd The chaste enjoyment of the immortal mind;
A passion warm, benevolent, sincere, 'Tis such as Angels do to Angels bear. Unmix'd with wanton thoughts and loose desires, The purer flame to nobler heights aspires; To ease the bosom that is deep distress'd, And raise the transport of the joyful breast; This gift divine the power supreme bestows, To aid our joys, and dissipate our woes.
From the LONDON-MAGAZINE. Praise of AGRICULTURE.
A GRICULTURE began with our World, and was the Employment of its first Inhabitant, who was to get his Bread in the Sweat of his Face:
When Adam dug and Eve span, Who was then the Gentleman?
The second Parent of our Species enter'd upon the Renovation of it with an Act of Husbandry and Planting. His Descendants, the greatest Princes and the wisest States, have ever made this the Object of their Inquiries, Studies and Injunctions: — They practis'd it themselves, and made it a principle Point of their Politicks, to reward the Improvement and punish the Neglect of it.
It is no Wonder, Agriculture has been the Business and Amusement of the World in every Age and Part of it, since it forces itself upon us, on Account of its Necessity, in Consequence of the divine Appointment. Other Arts and Employments may serve for the Embellishment of human Life, this is requisite, for the Support of it.
Happiness seems to have fixed her Seat, in rural Scenes: — The Assembly, the lighted Room, the Equipage, the Embroidery, do not sooth and entertain the Mind of Man in any Degree like the verdant Plain, the wavy Field, the artless Stream, the enamel'd Mead, the fragrant Grove, the melodious Birds, the sportive Beasts, the open Sky and starry Heavens. And the LADIES, must excuse my Want of Taste or Manners in thinking, the clean, tuck'd-up nimble Lass makes a more pleasing Figure, than the Dutchess, who sweeps half the Mall with her enormous Petticoat; and that the industrious Housewife, who has made nine thousand Cheeses, and bred up half a Score lusty Children, is more amiable to the Eye of unprejudiced Reason than the finest SHE, who has made two Millions of insipid Visits, and propagated Tittle-tattle from one End of the Town to the other.
The Labours of the Country Life will rise in our Esteem, if, besides their Agreeableness to our Nature and Frame, we consider them as the Source of all the Wealth of a Nation. Trade and Commerce, which are esteemed the two great Fountains of National Wealth cannot have a Place, but on the Foundation of this original and natural Employment.
Agriculture not only furnishes Wealth to a Nation, but Hands also able and willing to defend it, and is perhaps the best Nursery of a good Soldier in the World. And the Country-Lite, which thus qualifies Men for necessary Defence, naturally introduces a Disposition averse to civil Tumult, and offensive War: The Occasion over, their Swords easily convert into Ploughshares, and their Spears into Pruning-hooks.
Agriculture was, perhaps, the Parent of all those Sciences, Arts and Employments, which have since carried their Heads so far above her. But it rises still higher, and reads continual Lectures, not only in speculative, but practical Philosophy; it conducts to Morality and every social Virtue, and enforces a due Regard to, and Dependence on the supreme Being, in which consists the Essence of RELIGION.

L O N D O N, May 1. Extract of a Letter from an European, settled at Macao, a small Island on the Coast of China, to his Correspondent at Lisbon, dated September 23, 1771.
"Some Usbeck Tartars, called Nogais, who according to the custom of those People, had travelled far from their own Country to seek Pasturage for their Cattle, came in great Numbers into the Dominions of the Mungale Tartars, where was great Plenty, in the Beginning of the Summer of 1770, but did not think proper to leave it, as is customary, and return to their own Country after staying the Summer. This was resented by the Mungale and other Chinese Tartars, and Deputies were sent to them to request their Departure, but the former thinking themselves strong enough, refused to leave the Country; after several Altercations they came to Blows, when the Usbeck Tartars were driven away, leaving 7 or 800 killed and wounded, besides carrying off some who were wounded on Carriages. This happened at the End of September; but in the Spring following they returned, in Number about 200,000 headed by their Kans. The Chinese Tartars being informed of it, and being joined by some of the Emperor of China's Troops, went out, gave them Battle, and defeated them, after killing and wounding upwards of 5000, among whom were several Kans; they likewise took a great Number of Waggons: The Chinese had about 2000 killed and 2500 wounded. This Battle was fought on the 28th of August, 1771."
M A R S E I L L E S, (France) April 1. The Sieur de Gran, a Dutchman in the Russian Service, is employed in searching for Antiquities in the islands of the Archipelago, and hath discovered in that of Nio [Nio] the tomb of Homer, who was always supposed to have died there. This officer writes, that he found a Greek inscription on the Sepulchre, which contained the skeleton of that poet, the most celebrated of all antiquity, but that it crumbled to dust immediately on being exposed to the air. He has made many other discoveries of coins, medals, &c. at Naxos and Milo, as well as in the island of Nio.
