The REAL GENTLEMAN described. A REAL Gentleman is certainly a most amiable character; but as that word is promiscuously applied, and generally understood, it as certainly often implies such qualities as are rather a reproach to the possessor, than any marks of intrinsic merit.
Any man, of whatever station, who with natural good sense, possesses also an honest heart, and who has these essentials polished by a sweetness of behaviour, which is better understood than expressed; this man is the true gentleman, whether he be a knight or a porter; a lord, or a journeyman taylor. Acquired accomplishments adorn, but do not constitute the gentleman.
It is true, a person runs a great risque of disappointment who should search for a gentleman among working bricklayers, smiths, and men in other laborious professions; since in those employments the mind being chained to the contemplation of the objects of their industry, is necessarily very narrow; since it contracts a rigidity or rust for want of extension, or by associating with the depraved is too often vitiated itself. There is no rule without exceptions, however seldom they appear, and true genius will burst thro' all those obstacles which overpower little minds, and choke upon ordinary capacities.
The acquirements of mankind, it is true, differ generally in proportion as their situation is more or less prosperous: thus many a good understanding is uncultivated, and many a head is filled with the sciences to as little purpose as if they were stuffed with saw-dust. But whether that be the case or not, due allowance ought to be made for the advantages of a confined sphere of activity. Let the readers of Sir Charles Grandison only change his situation, and conceive him with a leathern apron about him; the consequence would be that a great part of those bright qualities they admire in the man of fortune, would not appear, but lie dormant in the shoemaker, merely for want of opportunities for exertion. There are men in all degrees of life who merit the appellation of gentlemen.
L O N D O N, Dec. 5.
Lady Huntingdon, whose whole delight in life is in doing good, is putting on foot perhaps one of the most exemplary schemes that has yet appeared for the relief of the distressed, and has advanced a very capital sum for that heavenly purpose. The scheme is to import wheat from the nearest ports, and to let the poor have it at first cost without any charge of freight. There are about forty gentlemen & ladies who have already subscribed at her ladyship's instance.
Dec. 14. A few days since a very droll accident happened at a church in Southwark. Whilst the parson was marrying a couple, the intended bridegroom was seized with a relaxation of spirits, and frankly confessed to the Clergyman, that he had a wife and children in Berkshire. This extraordinary incident was the means of depriving him of a fine lady, possessed of a large fortune.
Dec. 15. Last night a lame Duck waddled out of the Alley for 70,000l.
Dec. 22. Sunday se'nnight the rock known by the name of the Needle or Lot's Wife, upwards of one hundred and twenty feet, above high water mark, which stood at the west end of the Isle of Wight, was by a con-
tinual washing of the sea, thrown down.— This rock will be a great loss to mariners, as it was a direction for them to steer by.
N E W - Y O R K, March 15.
Some time past, as a certain man was crossing Hudson's-River, between N. York and Albany, on the Ice, having in his hand a bottle of the good creature, he fell in, bottle and all, but fortunately got out again, when, missing his bottle he like a resolute hero, boldly ventured his life, by diving after the same, which he got, and safely took it home to regale his spirits with. A rare instance of courage and love to the juice of the vine. However unaccountable this may appear, it is a fact, and can be proved by several that saw it acted.

"This moment 5 o'clock P. M. the following piece of intelligence is made public 9 Caraib chiefs have come in to the commander in chief, among whom was the famous Jean Baptiste. Those Caraibs have agreed on the part of their whole nation, to surrender, at discretion to his Majesty; and a day is appointed for a congress at Grand Sable, where this arduous affair is to be finally settled.

PHILADELPHIA, March 17.
With Captain Robinson, arrived at Wilmington, from St. Christopher's came passenger Brotherton Dagget, jun. late mate of the brig Leviathan, who informs, that he sailed in the said brig, Thomas Lathorp, master, from Rhode-Island, December 23, 1772, bound to the coast of Brazil, on a whaling voyage; and on the 25th of Jan. they saw a whale which they pursued in their boats, leaving the brig to follow, but, it be-

ing calm, she was 3 or 4 leagues a-tern, when the boats came up with and killed the whale: It then being 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the Capt. & People, in one boat set off for the brig leaving the other boat, with the said Mate and five people, a-long-side the whale; when, it soon after growing dark, they were so far parted, that, in the morning, they had entirely lost sight of the brig: Being thus left without provisions or water, they staid by the whale, feeding on such parts of the raw flesh, as they could come at with their knives, till the 27th, when being in the lat. of 27, 94, long. 21, they were taken up by Capt. John Dessel, in the ship Augustus Cæsar, from London, bound for Jamaica, who treated them very kindly, and on the 14th of February landed them on the island of St. Christophers.
A short Time before the Troops landed at St. Vincent's, his Excellency Governor Leyborne published the following Proclamation, (which the Caribs would not comply with,) viz.
Whereas his Majesty's Island of St. Vincent, upon the first Discovery of it, and for a long series of years afterwards, was claimed and ever considered as of right belonging to the Crown of Great-Britain; which Right has never been relinquished on the Part of his Britanick Majesty; and by the late Treaty of Peace concluded between the Crowns of Great-Britain and France it has been Guarranteed by the high contracting Parties thereto, and the Sovereignty and Dominion in and over the said Island of St. Vincents acknowledged to be solely vested in the Crown of Great-Britain: And whereas at the Settlement of the Island since the late Treaty of Peace, His Majesty, from Motives of Benevolence and Humanity, was graciously pleased to direct, That his Commissioners for the Sale of Lands should set apart and give to the Caribs of St. Vincent a reasonable Allotment of Lands for their Subsistence, Comfort and Accomodation; and that upon their taking the Oaths of Allegiance to his Majesty they should even be adopted and received among the Number of his Subjects, and enjoy the Benefit of his Laws and Protection; but notwithstanding these humane Intentions of his Majesty, these infatuated people, either insensible of the King's Grace and Favour, or instigated thereto by some evil Councillors, did some Time ago, in a most daring, insolent and rebellious Manner, prevent and interrupt the Operations of his Majesty's Surveyors, and destroy the Road which they had carried on to a considerable Distance, and did commit many other Acts of Violence: And though they have been frequently warned and admonished of the fatal Consequence of their rebellious Conduct, they have, nevertheless, not only persisted in opposing his Majesty's Instructions from being carried into Execution, but disclaim and deny the King's Right of Sovereignty to the Island of St. Vincent, and refuse all Allegiance to his Majesty. Repeated Acts of Rebellion, have justly forfeited all Claim to his Majesty's Lenity and Indulgence, and creates an Alarm for the Safety of his Majesty's Subjects settled in this Island. His Majesty highly incensed at a Conduct so insolent and ungrateful on the Part of these Savages, and equally jealous for the Honour of his Crown as he is attentive to the Security of his Subjects, has given Orders that the Caribs should be reduced by Force of Arms, if they still persisted in refusing that Duty and Submission which they owe to his Majesty; and for that Purpose he has directed a considerable Number of his Troops to repair to this Island: I therefore WILLIAM LEYBORNE LEYBORNE. His Majesty's said Captain-General and Governor in chief, in and over the Southern Caribbe Islands in America, being desirous from Principles of Humanity, to give the misguided Caribs once more an Opportunity, before it is too late, of making their Submission and of returning to Duty; being willing to prevent that effusion of Blood and the dreadful Calamity which their Obstinacy must unavoidably draw upon them, do hereby declare and proclaim, as his Majesty's Royal Will and Pleasure, That all such Ca-
raibs as shall within the Space of fourteen Days from the Date hereof peaceably and without Arms come to the Town of Kingstown, and there in my presence submit themselves implicitly to his Majesty's Pleasure, may be assured of a perfect Security as to their Persons, the Enjoyment of their Freedom, and that a reasonable Portion of Land shall be allotted for their Subsistence and Comfort; they shall likewise be received into his Majesty's Protection, under such Regulations and Restrictions as his Majesty shall think proper to direct: but, on the other Hand, such Caraibs as shall not come in and submit themselves as aforesaid, or who shall continue in Arms, or be found in any wise opposing the King's Operations in the Settlements of his Land, or otherwise molesting any of his Majesty's Subjects will be treated as Enemies. And all white Persons, free Mulattoes and free Negroes, or slaves, that shall not before the Expiration of the said fourteen Days quit the said Caraibs, but shall be found in Arms against his Majesty shall experience the utmost rigour of his Displeasure.

BOSTON, April 4.
Yesterday Afternoon about 5 o'Clock a Fire broke out in a Building belonging to Mr. Alexander Edwards, Cabinet-Maker, at the North Part of the Town, which was almost wholly in Flames as soon as discovered, and the fame in a very short Time consumed, together with his Work Shop, several Stores, Barns, Sheds, &c. and a large Quantity of Mahogany and other Stock, with a Number of Articles of Furniture which were finished for Sale; the Fire likewise communicated to the Sandemanian Meeting-House, that was near adjoining, which was also entirely destroyed; and it was owing to the Alertness of the Inhabi-

tants, and the constant Supply of the Engines with Water from the Mill-Pond, that many other Wooden Buildings, which were in eminent Danger, were prevented sharing the same Fate.—The Engine from Charlestown, esteemed the best in America, with a Number of People from that Town, with their usual Activity, came over very expeditiously to assist at the Fire, and were very serviceable. Mr. Edwards's Lots is very great.
We hear that John Hinks, Esq; of the Custom House in Boston is appointed Comptroller of his Majesty's Customs at the Bahamas.

Extract of a letter from Newbury-Port, March 15.
"On the Evening of the 5th Instant the several Bells here were tolled from 7 o'Clock to nine, and two Drums muffled were beat through the Streets, and a Number of young Persons followed in Procession, with as much Solemnity as if they had been attending a Funeral. I imagine considerable Improvements will be made another Year on this Procedure."

The General Assembly of Virginia met on the 4th ult. at the Capitol in Williamsburg, when the Governor, in his Speech, informed them, "that all the Emissions of their Paper Currency, now in Circulation, are forged, and that in so masterly a Manner as to make it almost impossible for those the most knowing in such Matters to distinguish the Good from the bad." And "most sincerely congratulates them, both on its being discovered so soon, and that the Authors of coining their Silver and Gold, as well as forging and passing their Paper Money, were in so fair a Way of receiving that Punishment which is due to their Crimes as well those in a neighbouring Province, as them in that Colony." He informs the House of Burgesses that he has "nothing in Command from his Majesty to trouble them with at present."

W HAT Legends of Fables, and whimsical Tales, Pass current for Gospel, where Priestcraft prevails; Our Ancestors thus were most strangely deceiv'd & What Stories and Non sense for Truth they believ'd! But we, their wise Sons, who Fables reject, E'en Truth now a-days are too apt to suspect: From believing too much, the right Faith we let fall, So now we believe, just! nothing at all.

Jonathan Moulton
Of HAMPTON, has to Let very reasonably, SEVERAL FARMS , at a Place called MOULTONBOROUGH — One of which has been improved by Mr. John Adams for three Years past, who having got his own Lands in such Forwardness in the same Town, that he intends to move thereon in a short Time—Another of said Farms is that which Mr. Stephen Bennett has improved for several Years past, but like Mr. Adams, having Lands there of his own, has lately moved thereon.— There is considerable Quantity of English Hay cut on each of said Farms, and are got considerably into pasturing, insomuch that a Dozen of Cows may be well kept on each Farm this present Year, besides a proportionable Number of Sheep, and other Cattle. 15 Acres of suitable Ground prepared on each Farm for planting and sowing, including what was sowed with Winter Grain last Fall—Each of said Farms have a well finished Barn between 70 and 80 Feet in Length, and 32 Feet in Width, with comfortable dwelling Houses, with 5 Rooms. Said Farms may be let either on Shares or Hire very reasonably, for two Years or longer.
Also several other Farms in said Town which are not so well brought to, may be had on a very easy Lay.— And as said Moulton has found by a long Course of Experience, the great Advantages of improving New Lands; the Produce being so much greater than that of old, and the Settling of them being very beneficial and profitable to the Settlers, as well as to the Community, he is therefore disposed to give good Encouragement to such as incline to settle in the new Country. In particular to ten Families that will move into said Township, or the Additions of it; this present Year, that they may each of them have Liberty to plant this present Spring six Acres of good Land, that is already cut and cleared, and may have the Liberty of sowing the same with Winter Grain next Fall, and the next Year to plant or sow twelve Acres more of Land that is already cut and cleared. They taking the whole Produce to themselves free of any Rent. Also find them comfortable Dwelling Houses to live in said two Years, during which Time, if they are so disposed, they may have Places of their own, sufficiently prepared to move on.— Those inclined to accept the above Proposals are desired to apply to said Moulton soon, as the Season for planting &c, draws near. Those who should agree and settle themselves, may be supplied with Corn, Meat, Potatoes, &c. at the Price they are usually sold at in the lower Towns.
As red Clover, and white Honey Suckle Seeds, (so call'd) seem to suit new Lands much better than other Grass Seed, said Moulton has purchased a large Quantity of each, in Order to supply those that need it, which he will do at the usual Price, as sold in Boston.
Said Moulton would hire ten able bodied Men, to serve as Labourers for six or eight Months, for whom he will give good Wage if they apply soon.
