By the Duke of Cumberland Packet, Captain Goodrich, arrived at New-York from Falmouth, we have the following
EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, June 1.
M R. Ernst, who now has the care of the British affairs at Copenhagen is a young Gentleman of Saxony but educated in England, under the Rev. Dr. Dodd; he is not yet twenty years of age, but possesses abilities of such magnitude, and a solidity so uncommon, as sufficiently entitle him to the distinction he has received, and promise, at some future period, to shine with extraordinary lustre in the political hemisphere.
Letters from Paris say, that 15,000 muskets of a new invention, are finished at Vincennes; they fire 15 times in a minute, carry 900 paces, and weigh nine pounds.
June 11. The Madman who formerly cut trees in Kew gardens, made an attempt, as it is supposed, to assassinate his Majesty, in his way from one garden to another at Kew. He was, however, fortunately discovered by a treasonable paper he had put into the key hole of the garden door; and being apprehended, three loaded pistols were found upon him, and a clasp knife, with which he wounded one of the keepers of the madhouse, (from whence he made his escape,) in the belly.
June 19. Authentic letters from Paris declare, that the Sieur Dionis, Member of the Academy at Bourdeaux, has lately invented a vessel to be rowed with eight oars under water, and that the persons in the boat are prevented suffocation by means of a kind of aetherial liquor, which (when the vital air is become unfit for respiration by the closeness of its confinement) restores it to its original salutary state, by dissipating the grosser exhalations, and throwing them, through a spiral tube, into the water. An experiment was made, on the 28th of last month, with this extraordinary machine, which, we are assured with ten persons in it, was navigated four hours and an half, under the water in the Bay of Biscay, during which time it proceeded five leagues, without any of the parties receiving the least support from the common air.
June 24. The day before Mr. Fordyce stopped payment, he called on a Banker, who is a Quaker, of whom he desired the loan of 20,000. On being refused, and going away dissatisfied the latter called him back, and said, "Harkee, friend, Two Dice have hurt many a one, but I promise thee, Four-dyce shall never ruin me."
June 27. The men began to work again yesterday on the Adelphi buildings, to the great joy of every good man.
The Rev. Dr. Wilson, Master of the Joiners Company, has addressed the Independent Livery of that Company, in a Card as follows:
"The Master of the Joiners Company presents his best respects to his brethern of the Livery, and entreats the favours of those who have not yet polled, would immediately repair to Guildhall and poll for Mr. Alderman Oliver & Watkin Lewes, Esq; Brother Joiner, as they are gentlemen of known honour and integrity, and will upon all occasions stand forth in defence of your liberties and franchises, which have lately in a most notorious manner been violated by some of your magistrates, under the baneful influence of a venal and corrupt administration who have tried every means to ruin the once noble constitution of this nation, and to bribe and corrupt the Livery of London in the election of their magistrates. Shew yourselves my brethern, upon this occasion, that you are above temptation and that the Joiners Company will set an example to all other companies, of an inflexible and noble resolution, that you are determined to be FREE.
THOMAS WILSON."
Extract of a Letter from Copenhagen, June 16.
The fate of the remaining state prisoners is determined: The Colonel Falkenskiold is to lose all his employments and honour, and to be imprisoned for life at Munckholm. Counsellor Struensee is to retire to Leignitz where he was formerly Professor of Mathematics, first giving security never to do any thing against his Majesty's interest. General Gahler is set at liberty, and has a pension of 500 rix dollars, and his lady 500 more.
June 30. The Moors have commenced hostilities against the Dutch, by taking a merchant ship from Amsterdam within sight of Gibraltor. Other accounts say, they have taken above forty ships belonging to the Dutch, and carried the crews into slavery; and that a formidable squadron from Flushing is just upon the point of sailing in order to make reprisals.
CHARLESTOWN, (South-Carolina) July 30.
The Cape-Fear Mercury of the first instant, tells us; - Last week passed through this town, in her way to Charlestown, a Lady, who left her address as follows: SOPHIA CAROLINA AUGUSTA, Princess of B---, and Marchioness of Waldergrave. Another paragraph in the same paper, says, - "Last week arriv'd here, in her way to Charlestown, a Lady of the first distinction, being no less, it is said, than a German Princess, though she travels under the title (being her lowest) of Marchioness of Waldergrave or Waldergrave. This Lady was truly inog, as she had neither carriages, horses, or attendants." Some remarks were added to the paragraph, which we shall pass over in silence.
The Lady in question, it seems, has travelled over land from Philadelphia. She arrived in this town the 7th inst. it is said she intended here at her first leaving Europe; and has furnished abundant employment for the naturally curious and inquisitive, as well as the ill-natured. Among other malevolent suggestions, to prejudice this Lady it is said she is natural Daugh-
ter of the Pretender, by the celebrated Jenny Cameron, and her tour through America, is made to solicit interest in behalf of her unhappy father."
Aug. 7. We hear from different parts of this province, that there are great prospects of large crops this year.
NEW-HAVEN, Aug. 14.
We hear from Goshen, that last Wednesday se'nnight, a Lad belonging to that Town, named Parmelee, was accidentally wounded with a pitchfork, of which he died the next morning.
The beginning of this week, a girl about 14 years old, belonging to Say-Brook, hung herself in her bed chamber. We are told, that the occasion of her committing the unnatural act, was, her having been corrected for a fault.
PHILADELPHIA, August 17.
We are informed from Chestnut Level, in the lower part of Lancaster county, that a few days ago, two young women, daughters to Mr. Daniel McFerlin, went in the evening to milk the cows, when a heavy shower came on, attended with thunder and lightning, they took shelter under a large tree, which was unfortunately soon after struck by lightning, and they were both killed on the spot.

Hampton August 18. 1772.
Jonathan Moulton of Hampton
HAVING resigned his Business of Shop keeping to his Sons, requests that those who have Accounts open with him to settle them immediately, either by paying or giving their Notes for their respective Balances, which he must insist upon, as he purposes to confine his Business principally to the settling and improving the Lands in the several Townships in which he is interested; if any meet with trouble for neglect they must only reflect on themselves. He would also remind those that are still indebted to him by Notes or otherwise of long standing, that unless they respectively settle, they may expect to meet with Trouble, for he is determined, (if Health permit) to have all them Accounts settled in a short Time.
August 25, 1772.
A Quantity of Grenada RUM, MOLASSES, COTTON WOOL, and COFFEE, just imported, and to be sold By JOHN EVANS, at his Store on Capt. Janvrin's Wharf in Portsmouth.

L O N D O N, June 19.
A Letter from Dublin, after reporting the Emigrations from different Parts of that Kingdom, concludes thus: "Let a humane Spectator take a View of our depopulated Country, and it cannot fail in his Breast to raise the most melancholy and affecting Reflections; Villages without Inhabitants, Farms without Tenants, cultivated Lands running wild, and all originally owing to the cruel and oppressive Landlords. Our People throng to America; and who can blame them? Totally unable here any longer to exist by the exertion of industry, they prefer a Land flowing with Milk and Honey to that of famine and abject Slavery."
Pride, Laziness, and an inordinate Love of Riches, prevailed over the Spaniards to forsake their native country for the mines of Mexico and Peru; a very different and far more reasonable motive induces the British emigrants, viz. to labour and to eat. [These People certainly do not credit the Accounts in some of the American Papers---of the Colonies being in a State of Slavery.]
June 20 Lord Mansfield in the Trial of Mr. Townshend and Mr. Hunt, Collector of the Land-Tax, after hearing Council on both Sides, told the Jury, the Question before them was in fact, no other, than, "Whether there was any Legislative power in this Country?" If they acknowledged there was, then they must find for the Defendant; and, in less than two Minutes after his Lordship had done speaking, the Jury found for the Defendant accordingly.
Mr. Townshend said, the Matter of the Land-Tax should end there.---Had he never BEGUN it, he would have shewn himself a much wiser man.
June 22. The Court of the Kings Bench gave judgment in the case of Somersett the slave, viz. that Mr. Stuart his master had no power to compel him on board a ship, or send him back to the plantations. Lord Mansfield stated the matter thus; The only question before us is, Is the cause returned sufficient for remanding the slave? If not, he must be discharged. The cause returned is, the slave absented himself, and departed from his master's service, and refused to return and serve him during his stay in England; whereupon, by his master's orders, he was put on board the ship by force, and there detained in secure custody, to be carried out of the country and sold. So high an act of dominion was never in use here; no master was ever allowed here to take a slave by force to be sold abroad, because he had deserted from his service, or for any other reason whatever. We cannot say that the cause set forth by this return is allowed of by the laws of this kingdom; therefore the man must be discharged.
Many of the Friends of Liberty look upon Alderman Kirkman as a CONVERT to the Cause of Freedom.---Let the Friends of Liberty adopt the Jewish Maxim, Beware of a Profelyte, even to the tenth Generation.
Mr. Alderman Plumbe has regularly and constantly opposed every Remonstrance, Petition, &c.---This is saying more for the Alderman than can be said for some of our Patriots. Plumbe is at least CONSISTENT in OPPOSITION.
Mr. Wilkes's political existence is said to depend upon the election of Sheriffs; if Mr. Oliver is chosen, he becomes annihilated in the City, and Mr. Horne obtains a triumph over that Livery, whom he last year insulted for daring to refuse his Patron.
June 26 Came on before Dr. Battersworth, in the Perrogative Court, Doctors Commons, the final pleadings relative to the citation of Lady Warren against Sir George her Husband for cruelty, and thereby requiring a separate maintenance, and separation, a mensa et thoro; when after a hearing of 11 hours, the Judge thought fit to dismiss the citation, in favour of Sir George Warren, the Defendant.
It is reported at the west end of the town, that in some conferences which one of our Secretaries of State had lately with the Ministers of two Great Northern Powers, his Lordship having pressed closely for certain explanations, could obtain no satisfactory answer. And we are assured, by a respectable correspondent, that no intimations on our part, will have the least effect on that quarter. These powers having determined to persevere in such measures, as will be the means of establishing the peace of that part of Europe, on the most permanent & respectable footing---as they are pleased to term it.
Whatever may be asserted to the contrary, there are letters in town which say, that military and naval preparations in France are by no means suspended. At Brest in particular, there are at present 12 men of war of the line, several frigates and bomb vessels, most of which have undergone a thorough repair this spring and summer, and may be made completely ready for actual service within a fortnight.
Extract of a letter from Amsterdam, June 23. "Your two last favours of the 16th and 19th instant, like many more advices, bring us terrible work among the principal class of merchants. No wonder, indeed, they should avail themselves of whatever valuable effects they can get at, in order to convert them into money. Such are the precarious consequences on all occasions of distress and stagnation of paper credit. Yet, alarming as your accounts appear, the principal houses here are determined to weather the storm, especially now we find the GREAT PILLARS on our exchange stand their ground very coolly and firmly. This material circumstance, when known on your side the water, will, no doubt, operate towards mending the stocks, seeing the fall in your funds, which seem to have been occasioned by some groundless reports respecting a certain house here. I have sent you the prices of your stocks, as they were done this day on our Exchange, by which you will perceive that we are not sorry that some rotten sheep in your pastures have been forced to fly away, and no longer infect the found flock.---India. 22 1/2 4th, Aug. Bank 15 1/4 4th, dit. South Sea, 100 1-8th dit. 4 per Cents, 94 1-8th, dit. and three per Cents, 90 dit."
May 21. Some Time before the Benefit of a celebrated Opera Dancer, a Noble Lord (Lord C---e) being very lucky the Night before, at Almack's, enclosed a good Bank Note to the Lady for a Ticket, in consequence of which his Lordship received the following Billet next Morning.
"My Lord, "If your Note was designed as a Compliment to my Stage Abilities, I think it too much; if as the Prelude to a Connection, I think it too little; either Way you see, I am induced to return it, which I do, however, with many Compliments, for your good Opinion, I have the Honor to be, S-----k-Street. H-----"
May 23. It is of certainty known, that a North-East Passage to China has been discovered by the Russians upwards of two Years ago.
May 26. This Morning between ten and eleven o'clock, about a Thousand Journeyman cabinet-Makers, chiefly North-Britons, assembled in St. James's Square, and proceeded from thence in a Body to Col. Lutrell, the spurious Member for Middlesex, who lives in May Fair, with a Petition to be by him presented to the House of Commons, complaining, that some foreign Ministers have imported large Quantities of Goods from abroad, to the injury of the Cabinet making Business.
May 30. Colonel Lutrell in his Speech upon the Cabinet-maker's petition, declared that the Charge of harbouring smug-
gled Goods did not stop at certain foreign Ambassadors, but reached some of the Officers of State about the King's Person: That they had become a Set of avaricious Men, who would descend to the most paltry Peculation: That the Prince of Wales was not safe in visiting at a certain House, which the indignation of the People might level with the Ground, from its being filled with French Furniture. Upon Lord North's desiring private Information who these Persons were, the Col. in a low Whisper, which all the House heard, named Lord H-----effe.
June 2. The young Lady lately carried off by a certain Gentleman, it is said is only twelve Years and six Weeks old.
The foreign Ministers have, we hear, had a Meeting to consult upon the preservation of their Privileges, which they suppose attacked by the Petition of the Cabinet-Makers to parliament, but Lord North coolly declares, that he knows they are too equitable to desire any Immunities, repugnant to the established Laws of those Countries in which they happen to be resident.
To the great Honor of Prince Masserano, we are assured his Excellency declared at the above Meeting, that he would not keep company with any Ambassador who degraded himself from the dignity of a regal representative, to the infamous state of a rascally smuggler.---"We came here (said the generous Castilian) to preserve the rights of nations, not to invade them; and those States should never send a Minister to any Court, if their country is not able to furnish them with a Gentleman.
The agent who went from this country in pursuit of Lord Baltimore's natural daughter, lately carried off by her honorable guardian, was armed with an order from the French Ambassador, empowering him to demand assistance from the military of France wherever he should judge such an aid necessary; and requiring all of his Most Christian Majesty's subjects, as they should answer at their peril, to give every possible expedition to his pursuit. When the agent therefore came to Lille, where he found Mr. Secretary Morris had put up, he was instantly placed upon the child stolen away to prevent the guardian from recovering her.
At a meeting of the officers who served during the last war under Admiral Boscawen, held on the King's birth-day at Will's coffee-house, Spring Gardens, above twenty gentlemen were present, who served above twenty years in the Navy, and are now most nobly provided for on three shillings a day, which enables them to live almost as well as any journeyman shoe-maker or taylor within the bills of mortality.
June 25. On Monday near 200 blacks, with their ladies, had an entertainment at a public house in Westminster, to celebrate the triumph which their brother Somersett had obtained over Mr. Stewart his master. Lord Mansfield's health was echoed round the room, and the evening was concluded with a ball.---The tickets for admittance to this black assembly were five shillings each.
A N E C D O T E.
THE Great Henry the IVth of France being asked by one of his haughty Favourites, why his Majesty gave himself the Trouble to return the salute of so many Beggars, who made their Obeisance to him in the Streets, replied, Because I would not have my Beggars in the Street exceed me in Complaisance.---The above may serve as an Admonition to many Haughty, self-important Gentry.
E D I N B U R G H, June 25.
Our Lord Chief Baron, in his Charge to a Jury on a late Trial, after stating the Law and Evidence, left it to the Jury to judge both of the Law and the Fact, and to bring in a Verdict for the Plaintiff or for the Defendant, as their own Judgment should direct, without endeavouring to Bias, or even influence them, as has been of late too often the Practice in South-Britain, to the Scandal of those Judges who have endeavoured to render useless that great Bulwark of the Constitution, the Trial by Jury.
L O N D O N, June 12.
Yesterday Morning the Statue of William Beckford, Esq; was fixed in Guildhall. It is of the finest Marble, in the Attitude he stood in when he spoke to his Majesty; and under the Pedestal is his Speech on a Tablet of black Marble, in Letters of Gold.
We received the following extraordinary Narrative from Berlin May the 25th:---In the Year 1770, a Neapolitan young Man settled at Warsaw, and set up a Merchant, but finding that his Industry was not rewarded with Success he made Love to a Polish young Lady of Fortune, and after a Courtship of six Months, gained the Heart of this beautiful young Lady and Married her; but a few Months after this Marriage, a Venetian young Lady came there and proved her Lawful Marriage with him, with a Fortune of 20,000 Chequins.---Scarcely was he accused by this Venetian young Lady, but there came a Provençal young Lady, and proved her Marriage with him, and that she had brought a Fortune of 30,000 French Livres. In the same Week, an Austrian young Lady from Vienna came and proved her Marriage with him, and that her Marriage Portion was 20,000 Florins; he then was by the Law of that Country Condemned to Death; but according to the Custom of Poland, the Night before the Execution, all Condemned Persons are put in a fine Room, and are at Liberty to have a Conference with all their Friends. On this occasion the Polish young Lady came to see him for the last time, and was struck with a strong Compassion on seeing his Melancholly situation; and at last found the way, by the means of a Jesuit, to save him. The Plan of escape having been agreed on, she resolved the same Moment to fly with him; accordingly she went home immediately, and took all her substance in ready Cash and Jewels, and thus they both set off together; but this inhuman Wretch of Naples was not 10 Polish Miles from Warsaw, when finding himself quite out of Danger, and in a dark Forest, he took this amiable young Lady, bound her Hand and Foot with strong Ropes, threw her into the Forest, and set off with all her substance. In this most unhappy, Miserable state the young Lady lay 48 Hours, but luckily was discovered by a Peasant who saved her Life and brought her to Warsaw. When this Story was known at Court, the King compassionately granted her 100 Ducats per Annum, and the Jesuit and Jail-Keeper were sent to Prison.
One Judith Whalin, who had been some Days in Prison for the Murder of a Shoe-Maker, found means to Hang herself in Newgate, with the Fillet that bound her Hair. The only provocation the Deceased gave her was, that he refused to mend her Shoes, on which she snatched at a Knife, and stabbed him to the Heart.
June 26. A Traveller lately arrived from Poland, gives this account of that unhappy Country: "The first five Miles from Warsaw, the Country is Cultivated, but all the rest of it, as far as Rava (including 55 Miles) is one continued Desert, nothing to be seen but ruins of Villages, Cottages, & Noblemen's Seats. From Rava to Sniatyn a Tract of 100 Miles, formerly cultivated, and now containing no more than 3 Villages uninhabited; all the rest burnt, and the People gone. From Sniatyn to Silistia is about 40 Miles, one continued scene of Ruin. In a Journey of 200 Miles, through a Country formerly well Cultivated and Peopled, there are not now to be found above 5000 Souls. See here the Genius of the Roman Catholic Religion in perfection! This fine Country is reduced to this Miserable and shocking state,
wholly by the furious zeal of some Popish Bishops, who would never be satisfied without the total Destruction of the Protestants and Greeks."
July 2. We learn from a Correspondent at the West-End of the Town that a very extraordinary Requisition was made a short time since to our Ministers, from a Quarter where they least expected. The French Ambassador waiting upon Lord Richmond, laid before him in the strongest terms, the critical situation of affairs in the Eastern part of Germany; and, after explaining how much the Balance of Power was concerned in it, concluded with pressing, that the Arms of Great-Britain might be joined with those of his Master, to preserve the general System from being overturned. The Proposals were, that the King his Master would immediately march an Army into Germany, and that two British Fleets should be sent to the Baltic and Mediterranean, to make a powerful Diversion, and to lay the Territories of the inimical Powers in those parts under Contribution. This proposition alarmed the British Minister, and occasioned the warm Conference he had immediately afterwards with two foreign Ambassadors on this Subject.
N E W Y O R K, August 31.
Saturday last Major Etherington arrived here from Detreitz and Niagara, with 6 companies of the second battalion of the 60th or Royal American regiment; a detachment of the first battalion of the same regiment sets out from hence for New-Jersey in a few days.
N E W L O N D O N, August 28.
Last Monday sailed for London, the brig Hero, William Lovering, master; in which vessel was transported back to his own Country one Thomas Wilkinson, who was convicted of stealing a watch in this town.
P R O V I D E N C E, August 29.
Since our last five men have been committed to goal here, on suspicion of counterfeiting money. They were apprehended at Scituate, and we are told a number of others are concerned; that have not yet been discovered.
Boston, Sept. 3.
A few Days since a Child, belonging to Samuel Butler, Esq; diverting itself at a Stone-Cutter's Door, a young Negro Girl, it's Attendant, attempted to regain a Triplet that had lodged behind a large Tomb-Stone, which stood against the Shop, and imprudently leaning the Stone forward, being unable to support the Weight, it unhappily fell on the Child, and put a Period to it's Life.
Upwards of 20 Cattle, Hogs and Sheep have died at Norfolk in Connecticut, within a few Days, with the Bite of a Mad Dog.
On Saturday Night the 8th of August---At Barrington the House of Mr Benjamin Drowne was struck with Lightning and much damaged.---The Lightning struck the Ridge of the House, ran down the Gable End, tearing off the Plank and Clapboards, and entered the House by two Spikes that supported a Gun, tore the Gun-Stock to pieces, forced out a Window, with the Frame, and shattered a Bed-Post; but happily a Person that lay on the Bed received no Injury. The Plank and Clapboards were thrown six Rods, and some Splinters were stuck fast into the Chimney-Piece, others into a Fence at a considerable Distance from the House. Mr. Drowne had his Face hurt by a Splinter, and was rendered insensible by the Shock, but soon recovered.
About a Quarter of a Mile from the above, and nearly about the same Time, a Barn belonging to Capt. John Martin, of Barrington, was likewise struck: one of the Rafter was split, and a Number of Boards torn off. A very large Oak Tree, about 50 Yards from said Barn, was destroyed; several other Trees were struck, and a Stack of Hay Burnt, belonging to Major Samuel Allen.
The Lightning struck six or eight Times in the Town of Barrington, and at Palmer's River, we are told some Damage was likewise done.
We hear from Providence, Rhode-Island, that an Aqueduct is now completed there, from Mr. Field's Fountain to that Part of the Town called the Point, which was carried by wooden Pipes through Hills and Valleys, in a subterraneous Manner, the Distance of three Quarters of a Mile: The Water was conducted with such Rapidity as to deliver One Hundred Gallons in a Minute, thereby supplying the Inhabitants of the Point, (who before were destitute) by small Conductors leading therefrom, with fresh Water in their Cellars, Kitchens and Chambers, only by the Turn of a Brass Key. This affair is the first of the Nature ever attempted and effected in English America. Captain Field generously granted the Inhabitants the one half of the said Fountain for the Term of 999 Years; And the General Assembly have incorporated the Inhabitants into a Body Politic by the Name of FIELD'S FOUNTAIN SOCIETY.
Extract of a letter from London, July 2.
"The great negro cause was determined a few days ago, and the consequence was, the negro obtained his freedom. The poor fellow was present in the court at the decision, as were likewise a great many other blacks, all of whom as soon as Lord Mansfield had delivered the opinion of the court, came forward, and bowed first to the judges and then to the bar with symptoms of the most extravagant joy. Who can help admiring the genius of that government, which thus dispenses freedom to all around it; No station or character is above the law, nor is any beneath its protection. The monarch and the beggar are alike subject to it. "Pauperum tabernae regunique turres," are equally guarded by it."
The Right Worshipful John Rowe, Esq; Grand Master of Masons for North-America (in consequence of a petition of a number of free and accepted M A S O N S in this town) on Friday evening last constituted a new lodge under the denomination of the RISING SUN LODGE, to be held at the British-Coffee-House in King-street, the first Wednesday in every month, and appointed the Right Worshipful Doctor Benjamin Church jun. master of the same.
Tuesday last, Thomas Kilton, of Holliston, driving a cart loaded with clay, and endeavouring to keep back the cattle as going down a hill, stumbled and fell over a rock in the way, and one of the wheels went over his body, which so crushed him that he died in about an hour.---He left a sorrowful widow and two daughters.
Salem, September 8.
By Capt.

Q U E B E C, August 6.
Saturday last, Michael Due, a Canadian, was at the supreme court, tried and convicted of the wilful murder of Mr. Tobias Izenhout, merchant at Detroit, on the 2d day of September 1770, and on Monday last he was sent off, under a strong guard for Montreal, where he is to be executed.
After he had committed the horrid deed, he fled to the Illinois, from whence being brought back to Detroit, he in the presence of the commanding officer Philip Dejean, Esq; and several other witnesses, voluntarily confessed, that he had murdered Mr. Izenhout, by giving him, as he lay asleep in his bed, two strokes on the head with a tomahawk, and then cutting off one of his legs; after which he put the body into a large trunk, and buried it in a cellar: Notwithstanding this confession, at the bar he pleaded not guilty, but was convicted on trial, and sentenced to die; after which the Chief Justice returned his thanks to Philip Dejean, Esq; of Detroit for his great assiduity in bringing this wicked murderer to Justice. At the place of execution, he confessed the fact, but shewed not the least concern for it: he was executed according to his sentence.

The following Ode is finely set to Musick.
SWEET Contentment, heavenly bright, Worship'd thro' the Worlds of Light; Void of Thee, what's Wealth or Pow'r, But the Pageants of an Hour? Pride ne'er tastes thy soft Repose, Pomp and Grandeur are thy Foes; Yet within the Moss grown cell, Thou with Poverty canst dwell. See your humble Swains advance, Beat the Ground in jocund Dance Hark, the merry Milk Maids sing, All beneath thy gladsome Wing; Wide beams forth the eternal Ray, All who would be happy may; And howe'er we change the Name, Virtue and Content's the same.

The Governor has issued his Proclamation, and offered a Reward of Fifty Pounds, for apprehending one Nicholas Curlett, lately a Tavernkeeper in Winchester, who on the 27th of May last, barbourously murdered Mr. Jeremiah Beall, a Merchant, of that Place, by firing thro' his Door at him with a Rifle. It seems Mr. Beall, and some others, had been merrymaking that Day, and in the Evening, bearing a Fiddle at Curlett's tavern, they proposed joining the Company there, but upon their coming were refused admittance by Curlett, who shut the door upon them They persisting in their resolution to enter the house, Curlett went through his back door to a neighbour's for powder and ball, and upon his return, finding them still at the door, instantly fired. The ball entered on one side of the forehead of a young man, Mr. Beall's floor-keeper, which has been since extracted, and it is thought he will recover. Mr. Beall received his mortal wound by a splinter from the door.
A Considerable Quantity of Goods were stoped by Mr. John Prentice at Londonderry upon Supposition of their being stolen. The Owner may have them telling the Marks and paying Charges. The Person on whom the Goods were found offered them for Sale at less than half their Value: but he being apprehended made his Escape from the Officer.

To the PRINTER: YOUR correspondent E. F. is, in every particular, right with regard to the unlucky wretches, who were tortured to death for the crime of poverty. I was at the time in Bengal. But E. F. has forgot another ingenious mode of torturing the human species, at least such of them as are supposed, like Montezuma, to conceal their money from rapine. No less than twelve triangles are set up in the Court-yard of the Palace of Muxdavar, where the ears of our resident and our Nabob are gratified with the perpetual sound of the scourge, and the shrillness of expiring men!—If the representatives of the British nation will overlook such proceedings, let Ambayna be forgotten, and let us talk no more of the Spaniards in their conquest of Mexico and Peru! The punishment of the dogs which E. F. mentions is rather worse in Bengal than it formerly was in Cuba. I remember well, the Indians of the West were only hunted down by dogs; they had by being left alone some chance of making their escape: But our East-Indian has no such advantage. He is bound to a beam, and obliged to hear the gradual gnawing of the voracious animal. SOUJAH DOULAH.
