R O M E, April 25. WHEN Cardinal York came here to compliment the new married lady of Prince Stewart his brother, he made a present to that Princess of a gold box, adorned with brilliants of considerable value, and gave her an appointment of 4000 crowns on the Mount of Piety.
L O N D O N, May 23. The important cause of Somerset the Negro is put off for the present, and probably will lie over to Michaelmas term, to give the parties an opportunity of compromising it; which, if not settled in that time, it is generally thought will go in favour of the negro.
A clergyman, under forty, who frequently performed divine service in the cities of London and Westminster, lately perished thro' want.
A letter from Rome, dated April 30, 1772, has the following passage:---"Arrived here lately the Chevalier de St. George, with his new married lady. She is a young German Princess. He has demanded of the Pope his title of King of England---and the guards to attend him as they did his father,----- and has also signified to the Roman nobility that he expects his lady to be paid the honours as Queen of England. The Pope has refused the first request, of course the nobility will do the second. There are four ladies that attend her, who appear abroad in great splendor.
All the Letters from Germany confidently speak of a design now forming between the Emperor, Prussia, and Russia, to divide the kingdom of Poland among them, and thus to terminate all disputes there.
The following are said to be the particulars of a late extraordinary elopement---The young lady (a natural daughter of Lord Baltimore's, whose name is Hartford, and who is not quite 14 years of age) was placed at a boarding-school at Chelsea, where Mr. M. had frequent opportunities of visiting her as her guardian, and from whence he frequently attended her to public places after obtaining leave of her governess, who for a long time entertained no suspicion of his intentions. At last however, his visits and applications for these liberties become too frequent to escape the prudent governess's vigilance; and she at last gave him an absolute denial, telling him that the young lady had been granted those indulgencies much oftener than was consistent with her age and situation. As Mr. M. had, previous to this refusal, planned his scheme of elopement this unexpected refusal entirely disconcerted his measures, and the only measures left him were only intrigue and stratagem---The means he adopted to effect this were not entirely honorable, for he drew in a woman of character to be unsuspectingly the abettress of his designs: He prevailed upon Mrs. V. to send a card to the boarding-school, requesting the young lady's company on a party to Ranelagh, which was assented to. Just before the appointed time, however Mr. M. sent notice to Mrs. V. that the young lady was indisposed, and could not attend that evening; and in the interim sent a carriage to the boarding-school, with livery servants, &c, as if belonging to Mr. V. and demanded the young lady in Mrs. V's name. She leapt in; and the coachman, as ordered, drove to Mr. M. who impatiently waited her arrival at a distance, with a post-chaise, &c, for the journey.
Instead of going to Scotland, (as was reported and believed) they set off for France and were joined in the Gordian Knot by a priest about 50 miles south of Calais. From thence they proceeded to Paris where they now are, and from whence, after staying a short time there, they will return to London---Mr. M. has been much censured for betraying so young a lady, who was also his ward, into so rash and imprudent a step; but when we consider that this young lady has 30,000l. besides a prospect of the reversion of Maryland; we will cease to be so severe on him for a measure which cannot now be mended.---Mr. M. was late Secretary to a patriotic society.
May 30. Lord WILLIAM MANNERS, By his will has left a legacy of 1000l. to his brother, the Duke of Rutland; to his three daughters, and a grand daughter, 11,000l. each; to his three younger sons, 15,000l. each; to the MARQUIS of GRANBY, his family estate, originally worth 600l. per ann. and the residue to his eldest son JOHN MANNERS, Member for Newark.
S O U R, [Tyer in Phenicia] February 10.
Chick Ottoman, one of Chick Daher's sons, who is of a most violent disposition, with two of his brothers, dared to lend his father word, that if he did not order some Egyptian troops which he had placed in the villages he had ceded as an appendage to his sons, to retire they would drive them away by force. Chick Daher, disguising his resentment, feigned as he would agree to his sons demands and desired them to come to him, that they might consult together to call the troops away; but as soon as he got them into his Seraglio, he arrested all three of them, and sent them to Egypt, with a detachment of Troops, desiring Ali Bey would inflict such a punishment on them as their revolt deserved. This action, in a man of 80 years of age, surprises every body.
June 17. People mention the failure of Mr. Fordyce as a proof of the instability of human affairs. But this is not a case in point. It is, if you will, a proof of the fickleness of fortune and who ever doubted of her fickleness? The truth is, those who depend upon her may be said to stand upon a globe of ice, Mr. Fordyce gained his fortune by gaming in the Alley: he likewise lost it by gaming in the Alley. He therefore lost it by the very same means by which he gained it: and where is the wonder of this?
We hear from Suffex, that in many parts of the country there are swarms of large black vermin of the locust kind, which do incredible damage to the fruits of the earth; scarcely any green thing escapes their ravenous teeth; they fasten upon the corn, hops, cabbages, asparagus, &c, and clear the way as they go;
they are so infectious and troublesome as to bite the cows, especially about their udders, and they get into the very milk pails; their devastations are so great, that is feared the consequences will be ruinous to the farmers, and the price of grain be too great for the poor to procure subsistence. Some naturalists who have examined them, think they are of the same species with the black locusts in Italy; and by experiments that have been made, it appears that salt water will destroy them.
We hear from the Isle of Sky, that the mortality among the black cattle (owing to the hard winter and want of proviander) is estimated at 8 or 10,000l. sterling in that alone. The mortality has been as great in most of the store farms, both in the islands and on the continent, so that the autumn market for the cattle this year, must be but ill supplied.
PARIS, (France) June 5. Lord Harcourt, the British Ambassador at this court is recalled. He is to be invested with the dignity of Viceroy of Ireland, and replaced by Lord Stormont, Ambassador at the court of Vienna.
The Marquis de Fuentes, Ambassador from Spain, having for some time past solicited his recall is on the eve of his departure. We expect here in his room the Prince de Maserino, his Catholic Majesty's Ambassador at the court of London.
LONDON, June 16. It is said the Danish Resident at this court has received letters of recall, and that he is preparing to set out upon his return home.
Extract of a Letter from Stade, dated June 6. "Yesterday evening arrived her Majesty the Queen of Denmark at the Swinge, where a sloop was ready to convey her to this city. On her arrival, she was received with all royal dignity. To-morrow her Majesty will attend divine service, and a sermon preached by Dr. Pratie, after which she will set out for Winsen upon the Luke, where her Majesty will stay over night. The British Minister Sir Robert Murray Keith, conveys her Majesty to Goede, from whence he is to return to London. Her Majesty was saluted on her arrival here with 36, 20 and 14 cannons which were answered by the frigate at the Swinge, & from the walls of this city. Her Majesty does not receive any compliments on her voyage, and it is said she will not receive any even at Goede, as she is to reside there only a short time. As soon as her Majesty went on board the English ship at Elsinour, the Danish royal flag was hoisted."
On the 30th of May precisely at six o'clock in the evening, Queen Carolina Matilda and the British Minister, Sir Murray Keith, together with her Majesty's little household, embarked on board the British ships of war. Her Majesty was saluted on her departure with a triple discharge of 27 pieces of cannon each salute. Her daughter, the Princess Louisa Augusta, arrived the same day in Copenhagen, but as the wind was contrary the British ships came to an anchor.
We learn from good authority, that as soon as the Queen of Denmark is settled in her retirement, a number of English nobility, &c, will pay her Majesty a visit, she being very desirous of having some English attendants about her.
The consumption of Malt in England during the last year, by our brewers and innholders is computed to amount to 2,54,701 quarters.

The Alderman Kirkman and Plumbe will be started as Candidates by some of Wilkes's Friends, who cannot bear that a Man they consider as an Apostate to the Cause of Liberty, and who last Year treated the Livery with a premeditated Insult, should now come with a high hand into one of the first Offices to which they have the sole Right of Electing.
A Number of the Livery of the City that met at the Half-Moon Tavern, were unanimous in fixing upon Messrs Oliver and Leeves, for Sheriffs the ensuing Election.

WILLIAMSBURG, July 30.

Extract of a Letter from Norfolk, July 28.
"All the Ladies, and almost every Order of People here, are become Proselytes to Methodism; the Church is quite deserted.---I dare say there were near three Thousand People to hear Mr. PILMORE on Sunday, in the Fields. They flock to him from all Quarters, and invite him to preach in every Neighbourhood."
N E W - Y O R K, August 20.
The two Spanish ships lately cast away on Anguilla, were part of a fleet of 16 sail bound from Cadiz for Vera Cruz: The largest was formerly an English 74, bought in England after the late war, and the smallest a French frigate of 34 guns. All the 16 were large vessels, but had no troops on board, and were entirely loaded with dry goods. 'Twas said the cargoes of the two ships cast away were worth 5,750,000 dollars, almost all of which were saved, but the vessels lost.
Capt. Shaw, in 6 weeks from Lisbon, informs, that a week before he sailed, a Portuguese sixty gun ship came in there, the Captain of which said, that off Cape Finistere, he fell in with three Turkish galleys, who engaged him for some time, but at length the man of war sunk two of them, when the other thought proper to sheer off, with the loss of some of her men.
Capt. Bogart, in 27 days from Surranam, informs us, that a short time before he sailed from thence the wild negroes cut off two plantations, and killed two white men on one of them, and that it was much feared unless succours soon arrived from Holland, great damage would be done.
Extract of a letter from Fort-Pitt, August 1.
"By a gentleman from the Illinois we learn, that Major Hamilton, with a detachment of the Royal Irish, is within a day's march of this post, on his way to Philadelphia: That Capt. Lord and about 60 men, have taken post at Caskaskia: That a party of Indians, said to be Chickasaws, entered the store of Messrs. Rumsie and Company, near Fort Chartres, and behaved in a very turbulent manner, upon which a SCUFFLE ensued between them and the white people attending the store when one of the latter was murdered: and that the commanding officer ordered a party out to apprehend the murderers, who, being joined by some of the French inhabitants, soon got up with and engaged the Indians, three of whom were killed, and one wounded."

Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in LONDON to another, in Boston, dated June 11th, 1772.
"How can we be sufficiently grateful to providence, for the enjoyment of that lovely amiable blessing peace; she flourishes in BOSTON; she sits smiling in the mother country, England. Our prudent Minister has banished almost even the idea of faction, by the gentle acts of universal benevolence, and the returns of good for evil. In a word, perhaps this island never in any age experienced more profound tranquility, either in respect of foreign, as well as domestic connections."

Last Sabbath day towards evening a gentlewoman sat by a window fronting the street, eating Bread and Milk---a bold fellow observing her, waited for her finishing, in hopes of seizing the porringer and spoon which were both silver-----he succeeded in the latter, for as she put the spoon down on a table which was handy and by the window, he reached his hand in, while the person stooped to give the cat what remained in the porringer, and carried it off---Had not the cat been by, and she had put the porringer and spoon on the table, he would probably have stole them both---there was no man in the house, the woman cry'd stop the thief, in which chorus he loudly joined and escaped.
Aug. 31. We are inform'd that the Judges of the Superior Court have a salary settled on them by the crown; as also the Attorney-General and Solicitor General.
The following paragraph is taken from his Excellency Governor Franklin's speech to the general assembly of the province of New-Jersey, Aug. 22d, 1772, viz. "In providing for the support of government, I would wish you to consider how greatly inadequate the usual salaries allowed the public officers of this province are to the encreased expences of living, and to the encreased abilities of the inhabitants, since the time they were first established. An ill-judged parsimony has hitherto prevailed in this respect! but I should think myself wanting in real regard to the province, if I did not warn you at this time against a conduct, the continuance of which will most probably be found to be as impolitic as it is unbecoming the honour of the province you represent. On this head I am to inform you, that it has been signified to me, that the Chief Justice having been under a necessity of representing the insufficiency of his support to the King. His Ma-
jesty has been graciously pleased to give him an adequate salary; and independance of that officer, it is hoped, will give great satisfaction;---and as it is his Majesty's pleasure that he should no longer accept any allowance from the Assembly, the province will be relieved from any further expence on account of that establishment."
