By the Captains Scott, Callahan, Higginson, and Jenkins, arrived at Boston from London, we have the following fresh, important and melancholly Intelligence, viz. St. JAMES'S, February 8, 1772.
HIS Morning, between the Hours of six and seven, Her Royal Highness the Princess Dowager of Wales departed this Life, to the great grief of their Majesties and all the Royal Family, after a very long and painful Illness; which she bore with the greatest Fortitude and Resignation. From the LONDON GAZETTE, Feb. 11. The Earl Marshal's Order for a General Mourning for her late Royal Highness the Princess Dowager of Wales. IN pursuance of his Majesty's Commands, These are to give Notice, that it is expected, that upon the present Occasion of the Death of her late Royal Highness the Princess Dowager of Wales, all Persons do put themselves into deep Mourning: SCARBOROUGH, M.
February 10, 1772. War-Office, February 11, 1772. HIS Majesty does not require, that the Officers of the Army should wear any other Mourning, on the present melancholly Occasion, than a Black Crape round their Left Arm, with their Uniform. By his Majesty's Command, BARRINGTON. Admiralty-Office, February 11, 1772. HIS Majesty does not require, that the Officers of his Fleet or Marines should wear any other Mourning, on the present melancholly Occasion, than a Black Crape round their Left Arm, with their Uniform. PH. STEPHENS. Yesterday both Houses of Parliament voted Addresses of Condolance to his Majesty, on the decease of the Princess Dowager of Wales, the Lords to go with white staves, and such of the Commons as are of the Privy Council.
L O N D O N. Feb. 10. The Princess Dowager in her last Interview, with the King wrung his Hand very hard, and in Words to this Effect took her leave of him:— "My dear Son, you are the King of a great People, be if possible the King of a happy one; study the real welfare of your Subjects, not the Wishes of the factious; and may you gain a brighter Crown in Heaven, than that with which I leave you here on Earth." The King was shut up for several Hours in his Closet, after the Death of his Royal Mother, and appeared somewhat tranquil about twelve o'clock at noon in consequence, it is imagined, of a copious Effusion of Tears. The Princess Dowager has died extremely poor, the Charities which she disposed of being too numerous to admit an Accumulation of Wealth, and her Bounty feeding many Families who never knew the Hand that relieved them, and will now too certainly make a most disagreeable discovery. At night, a corn mill at Bromley, in Essex, took fire, which communicated itself to two others adjoining; and entirely consumed them, with all the flour and corn. The damage is computed at 10,000l. beside greatly damaging the dwelling-house adjoining. A very great man in the opposition, in its being remarked to him that the minority
seemed now to have given up entirely the public cause in Parliament, was pleased to say, "Sir, we are good subjects, and feel for the distresses of our King--the public cause is not abandoned, nor injured by a trifling Suspension—but a Man must have a Heart of Steel; indeed, not to let Matters pass smoothly on, (taking Care however, that no real Injury is offered the Constitution by a corrupt Majority) whilst his Sovereign is racked with Tortures, which a Man of Humanity would scarcely wish his greatest Enemy to suffer.
Extract of a Letter from Copenhagen, Jan. 21. All the Household of the Queen of Denmark, except only three Ladies who have been dismissed, set out from hence for Kronenburgh on the 19th Instant. Feb. 11. A Correspondent observes, that we shall now discover whether the Princess Dowager of Wales really had that Influence upon our national Councils the Opposition would make us believe. That she was a Woman endowed with a masculine Understanding; that she was an excellent Friend, a most engaging Companion, and an affectionate Parent, cannot be denied: but whether she was really busied in forming Parties to encroach upon our Liberties, or whether the Torrent of Abuse, cast upon this Lady arose only from the popular Prejudices of the Vulgar; this, adds our Correspondent, her Death, though in other Respects a melancholy event, will in some Measure bring to Light.
A Correspondent observes, that the ministerial adherents seem determined to outdo the dumb-founded Opposition in patriotic and beneficent regulations. Mr. George Onslow, having brought in a Bill for the relief of Insolvent Debtors, and Mr. Charles Fox, intending to make a motion for the repeal of the Marriage Act, so universally complained of by all true lovers of their Country.
The Queen of Denmark was pregnant at the time of the late revolution at Copenhagen, and a report is current that she has since miscarried, and that her health was in a very precarious situation when the last dispatches were sent off. The Lords of the Treasury have appointed Lauchlin Maclean, Esq; to be collector of his Majesty's customs of Philadelphia, in North-America.
The King has been pleased to appoint Soame Jemyns, Edward Elliot, John Roberts, Bamber Gascoyne, Esqrs. Lord Robert Spencer, Lord Greville, and William Jollyffe, to be His Majesty's Commissioners for Trade and Plantations.
Feb. 13. A Gentleman just arrived from Elsinur informs that her Danish Majesty is in perfect good health and in great spirits, and declares she is innocent with respect to all the accusations brought against her; and that her only crime is not having chimed in with the Queen Dowager, to make the King a mere cypher, which is her present scheme, and if it succeeds, all the power will be lodged in her and her minions hands.
Feb. 14. A Bill for explaining an Act of the 7th of his present Majesty, for taking off the inland duty of one shilling per pound on Black and Single Teas consumed in Great-Britain, and for granting a drawback upon exportation of Teas to Ireland and America for a limited time &c. and for settling certain doubts upon the said Act, is ordered into the House.
Feb. 15. The Packet for New-York and South Carolina, are detained at Falmouth till Tuesday.

L O N D O N, February 15. The CEREMONIAL of the INTERMENT for her late ROYAL HIGHNESS AUGUSTA, PRINCESS DOWAGER OF WALES, in the Chapel of King Henry VIIth, at Westminster, this Evening.
T HE body was brought privately to the Prince's Chamber, Westminster, last night, and placed a little before the Canopy the Room was hung and floored with black, and lighted with wax candles; and on each side of the Canopy were placed five high stands, with large wax-tapers. At the head of the coffin was an elbow chair for the chief mourner, and another chair on each side for her two supporters. On either side of the corpse close to the wall, were five stools, for the ten assistants, and below them, two forms for the ladies of the Bed-chamber. The coffin was covered with a sheet, and black velvet pall, adorned with eight escutcheons; and on the head of the coffin the Princess Coronet, upon a black velvet cushion. In this manner the corpse lay in state from eight o'clock this Morning, till about six o'clock this evening; when the preparations began to be made for the interment. At nine o'clock all the persons belonging to the procession were assembled at the Prince's chamber. And when every thing was ready, the procession began. At the foot of the stairs, the body was received under a black velvet canopy; and the whole proceeded, as usual, on a floor, or platform, across Palace Yard railed in, and lined with soldiers, to the South-East door of the Abbey, and from thence round the Choir, and up the North Isle to Henry the Seventh's Chapel, in the following order:
Knight Marshals Men with Black Staves. Servants in Livery to her Royal Highness. Gentlemen Servants to her Royal Highness. Pages of the Presence. Pages of the Black Stairs. Gentlemen Ushers Quarter Waiters. Pages of Honor. Gentlemen Ushers Daily Waiters. Physicians. Chaplains. Clerk of the Closet. Equerries. Clerks of the Household. Master of the Household. Secretary. Officers of Arms. Comptroller to her Highness. Treasurer to H. R. Highness. An Officer of Arms. Commissioners of the Horse to her Royal Highness. Chamberlain to Her Royal Highness. Norroy King of Arms. The Lord Chamberlain of His Majesty's Household. Clarenceux King of Arms bearing the Coronet on a Black Velvet Cushion. A. G. Usher. A. G. Usher. Supporters of the Paul. Supporters of the Paul.
A. G. Usher. Garter K. of Arms with his Rod. A. G. Usher. Supporter to the Chief Mourner } The Chief Mourner a Duchess, her train borne by the Lady of a Baronet. } Supporter to the Chief Mourner a Duchess. Ten Marchionesses or Countesses Assistants to the Chief Mourner. First Gentleman Usher of her Royal Highness's Privy Chamber. Ladies of the Bedchamber. Second Gentleman Usher of Her Royal Highness's Privy Chamber. The Maids of Honour. The Bedchamber Women. Yeomen of the Guard. Peers, Peeresse, Peers Sons & Daughters, & Privy Councillors, were Marshalled by the Officers of Arms according to their respective Ranks and Degrees. No Weepers were worn. The Knights of the Garter, Thistle and Bath were in their Collars.
At the Entrance within the Church, the Dean and Prebendaries, attended by the Choir, received the Body, and fell into the Procession before NORRY, KING OF ARMS, and so proceeded into King Henry the Seventh's Chapel, where the body was deposited on tressels; the Coronet and Cushion laid at the head, and the Canopy held over it, the Supporters of the Pall standing by it. The Chief Mourner and her two Supporters seated in chairs at the head of the corpse; and the Ladies Assistants seated on stools on each side, and the Ladies of the Bedchamber, &c. seated; and the Peers and others took their Seats in the Stalls on each side of the Chapel.
When the part of the service before the interment was read, the corpse was carried to the Vault, preceded by the Chamberlain to Her late Royal Highness; the Chief Mourner, her Supporters and Assistants following; and Garter going before them; And placed themselves near the Vault.
The corpse being interred, and the service ended, Garter King of Arms proclaimed her Royal Highness's Stile as follows: Thus it hath pleased Almighty God to take out of this transitory Life, unto his Divine Mercy, the late Most Illustrious Princess AUGUSTA, Princess Dowager of Wales, and Mother to his Most Excellent Majesty GEORGE the Third, by the Grace of God, King of Great-Britain, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, whom God Bless and preserve with long Life, Health, and Honour, and all worldly Happiness."
The Duchess of Grafton was chief mourner, and her two assistants were the Duchess of Bolton, and Duchess of Queenborough.
The Household (i. e. Lords and Ladies of the Bedchamber, Grooms, Maids of Honour, &c. &c.) of both King and Queen attended, by command; and most of the Scotch.
Her Royal Highness the Princess Amelia's health, we hear, is in so critical a state, that her physicians have recommended a warmer climate to her, as the most salutary measure that can be taken in her situation.
Last night it was currently reported that the Earl of Chesterfield was dead.
The ladies of the bed chamber, with the maids of honour, four at a time, attend the body of the Princess Dowager.
The marriage said to be in agitation between Prince Frederick of Denmark and the King of Prussia's niece, a daughter of Sweden, furnishes such a clue to the political labyrinth, as will possibly soon lead the public out of their present maze of perplexities.
Her Majesty's mourning consists of two bombazine sacks, a bombazine suit of cloaths, and a suit of white crape; the last the deepest mourning of all, and the Queen intends wearing it the first month in her drawing-room.
February 15. The reason of the interment of her Royal Highness so soon as Saturday is that she had particularly requested, that her body might not be opened or embalmed, and therefore it could not with propriety be kept longer.
The Earl Marshal's order for the present general mourning is more strict than any former one; for it lays, it is expected all his Majesty's subjects, will put themselves into deep, instead of, into decent mourning, as was the term generally used on such occasions, even for crowned heads.
Her late Royal Highness the Princess Dowager of Wales recommended three of her domestics to his Majesty, in a most particular manner, with her dying breath, and some days before her death, made the Prince of Wales a present of a fine enamel picture of his grandfather, richly set with diamonds.
There will be no address of condolence from the Court of Aldermen, notwithstanding what has been mentioned in the News-Papers; there was no address of that kind when the late Prince died, nor is there any precedent upon the city books for such a ceremony on the death of a Princess Dowager since the establishment of the Corporation.
The Right Hon. the Earl of Chesterfield lay last night at the point of death; it is thought he could not survive many hours.
We hear their Majesties will go to Richmond this day, and continue there till Sunday, on account of the Interment of the late Princess Dowager of Wales, the proper orders being given for that purpose yesterday.
CRAPES, which used to be but 3s. 6d. a yard, are now advanced to 12s. 6d. and a five shilling cap is raised to a guinea and a half at our fashionable milliners.
Last Sunday proceedings at law were by agreement stopped between Lord and Lady Grosvenor: the 12,000. a year mentioned by the news-papers to be granted as a separate maintenance to her Ladyship, is the fact, together with 1000. in hand, to answer immediate disbursements; and we hear that, if possible, every paper relative to the divorce will be taken from the file, to remove the judicial traces of so disagreeable a transaction.
Lord and Lady Grosvenor had each an arbitrator to terminate this remarkable process; Lord Camden kindly undertook to be the husband's; Lord Ashley condescended, at the request of the Lady's family, to be the wife's. These illustrious sages of the law knew that a retrospect could never produce an accommodation they looked therefore entirely forward, and in a little time agreed upon the conditions which we have already communicated to our readers.
Lady Grosvenor's alimony during the pendancy of the suit in doctor's-commons was 2000. a year; but as the event of the suit is uncertain, and if ended in a divorce would necessarily leave her without a shilling, her friends judged the permanent 1200. a year a very prudent ground for accommodating matters, and therefore complied very cheerfully with the first overture.
Authentic advice came by the last mail from Lisbon, that a treaty was going forward between that Court and Madrid, by which the Portuguese were to furnish the Spaniards with ten sail of the Line, and several smaller ships immediately, in consideration of a loan to be advanced by his Catholic Majesty.
Messrs. Ogg and Lawson are the messengers gone to Denmark. Ogg set off on Thursday the 30th of January, and Lawson left London on Sunday February the second. Neither of them are returned yet.
We are informed, that a nobleman has been busied, during the recess of Parliament, in framing a bill calculated to stop the impressing men for his Majesty's sea service.
Her late Royal Highness the Princess DOWAGER of WALES was youngest Daughter of FREDERICK II. Duke of Saxe-Gotha; born on the 30th of November 1719, N. S. She was married at St. James's, on the 27th of April 1736, to FREDERICK, late PRINCE of WALES. Her Children were,
1. AUGUSTA, born July 31, 1737, O. S. married to the Hereditary Prince of Brunswick. 2. GEORGE, born May 24, 1738, O. S. now KING of Great-Britain. 3. EDWARD, Duke of York, born March 14, 1739, died September 9, 1767, at Monaco in Italy. 4. ELIZABETH, born Decemb. 30, 1740, died Sept. 4. 1759. 5. WILLIAM, Duke of Gloucester, born Nov. 14, 1743. 6. HENRY, Duke of Cumberland, born October 27, 1745, married the of October 1771, to Mrs. HORTON, Widow, Daughter to Lord Irnham, and Sifter to Col. Luttrell. 7. LOUISA, born March 8, 1748. Dead. 8. FREDERICK, born May 13, 1750, died Dec. 29. 1765. 9. CAROLINE, born July 11, (after the Death of her Father) 1751; married Nov. 3, 1766, to CHRISTIAN VII, KING of Denmark.
Their MAJESTIES went to Carlton-house on Friday about One o'clock, and remained there till an Hour after her Royal Highness's Death. Lord Bute was likewise at Carlton-house at the time her Royal Highness died, and had afterwards a Conference of an Hour with his Majesty.
Upon the above melancholy Occasion, St. Paul's great Bell, on which the clock strikes, was tolled from 11 to past 12 o'clock, when the Clapper, which weighed upwards of an 100lb. weight, broke into two pieces, and of course the tolling ceased, which was to have continued until one o'clock. The Play-houses, the Opera-houses, and Places of public Diversions will be shut up for some time.
Her ROYAL HIGHNESS had, by an Act of Parliament of the 10th of King GEORGE II. a Revenue of 50,000 l. per Ann. for Life, in case she survived the Prince, which was to be paid quarterly, and the first Payment took place five Days after his decease: 40,000 l. of that Annuity was to be paid out of the Revenues of the Post-Office, and the other 10,000 l. out of the Duties of Excise.
Feb. 10. The Household Surgeons began embalming the BODY of the Princess of Wales on Saturday.
By the Death of the late Princess Dowager there is a Saving in his Majesty's List of 16,000 l.
The Mourning for the Princess Dowager of Wales to be four Months. Two Months deep Mourning; a Change for a Month; and a Change again for another Month.
Jan. 1. This day public prayers were offered up, in all the churches throughout the Dutch provinces, for a cessation of the sickness among the cattle.
Jan. 2. Powell, Burch, and Martin were executed, pursuant to their sentence; the two last for forging the will of Sir Andrew Chadwick. Some means were used to bring Powell to life again, but without effect.
Jan. 6. Being twelfth day, the offering was made at the altar by the Lord Chamberlain. Their majesties did not go to bear di-
vine service at the chapel royal. Their majesties, not being accustomed to play at hazard, order'd a handsome gratuity to the groom porter; and orders were given, that, for the future, there be no card playing among the servants.
About half after nine in the morning, three powder-mills on Honslow-heath blew up, by what is not known. The explosion was felt throughout the cities of London and Westminster, and the inhabitants were greatly alarmed, supposing it an earthquake. It is said to have been felt likewise at an incredible distance, viz. in Gloucestershire, and the adjoining counties, more than a hundred miles off.
About the time the explosion was felt at London, some families at Stockwell were terrified with the rattling and breaking of their china, which they attributed to a preternatural cause. A lady of fortune was so firmly persuaded that some invisible agent was concerned, that she discharged her maid, whom she suspected of having an intercourse with the wicked spirit; and, when she was gone, as no more mischief ensued, consoled herself that she had got rid of so dangerous an inmate.
Jan. 8. The following remarkable affair happened lately at Fulham. A gentleman having hired a house there, accidentally found a key of uncommon construction, and was determined to find out the place it belonged to. After searching for some time, he discovered a small door, in a dark corner of one of the garrets, which he opened with the key, and found a place resembling a well; it proved to be a winding staircase, twelve feet deep, but with no other way of descending than by going backwards. On coming to the Bottom, by means of a candle, he discovered a complete set of implements for coining. The smoke from the melting furnace was artfully conveyed to the main chimney by means of a flue, artfully concealed. By the dyes, it seems were counterfeited the old broad gold peices; and, as near as can be conjectured, it is about two hundred years since this curious place was first made.
The Princess of Brunswick is preparing to return home. In all probability she will never visit this country again. Her situation is truly pitiable. She is unhappy at home; and if possible, has been made more so here. Upon her coming over, she was obliged to get apartments at a private house in Pall-Mall. None were allotted here in the palace. She asked the (only favour perhaps she ever asked) to be chief mourner to her mother. She was refused. The Duke of Cumberland is to be pursued with vengeance; while the Duke of Gloucester is dying, not of a consumption, as hath been artfully and designedly propagated, but of a broken heart, because his marriage with Lady Waldegrave is not to be acknowledged. Such are the politics of the Earl of Bute and his little faction, consisting of Elliot, Jenkinson, Dyson, &c.
From the GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, for January 1772. A lad was shot dead by accident, as he was a shooting with another lad, near Gosport. The mother of the deceased dreamed the night before, that a hearse came to her door, laden with gun-powder, and that the gun-powder took fire, and blew up. She cautioned her son not to go out that day, but he disregarded her advice.
Dec. 31. Solway moss is still moving, and it is said has now covered good acres of as fine holm land as there is in England. It has stopped the road for these eight days past betwixt Annan and Longtown, and the post is obliged to boat over the river Esk.
The petition from the under graduates of the university of Cambridge was presented to the Vice-Chancellor, by Charles Crawfurd Esq; praying relief in regard to subscription to the thirty nine articles of their church of England, at taking their bachelor's degree, &c.
We hear that his Majesty on retiring from Carlton-house last Saturday Morning carried a casket of jewels with him in his sedan chair, which are valued at two Hundred thousand Pounds.
S A L E M, April 7. Yesterday Captain Jarvis arrived at Boston, and Capt. Dixey at Marblehead, both in very short Passages from London, by whom we have Prints of the second, third, and 4th of March; but they contain very little Intelligence: The following Articles are the most material, viz.
L O N D O N, March 2.
THE 60th regiment, command by Sir Jeffery Amherst, is ordered from Canada, where it is now on duty, to Jamaica. March. 3. If it be true that the Premier adopted or laid any stress on so damned an Absurdity, as that the Union could, by any Construction, be mentioned as a Strengthening of that old Pailing of the Church, the Thirty-Nine Articles, he must in fact be a greater Ideot than it was ever before just to imagine him. The most favourable Opinion of him would be, that he is as great a Divine as his Brother the Bishop, and his Brother the Bishop, as great a Statesman as his Lordship the Minister.
The following letter was lately written by the King of Denmark to his Queen:
"MADAM, I pity your present just fate. Let this prove my last adieu. I wish you a sincere and Christian repentance.
"CHRISTIAN, Rex." Yesterday a motion was made by Mr. Montague, to repeal an act of Charles the Second, for observing the 30th of January as a day of humiliation and prayer, as being the martyrdom of King Charles the first; after some debate it was carried against the motion by a great majority; the numbers on the yeas 97, noes 125.
The House of Peers were sitting last Night at Eight o'Clock, in great debates on the Royal marriage bill.
We hear that a Red-Ribband is to be conferred on Mr. Keith, the British Minister at Copenhagen, as a mark of his Sovereign's approbation of his spirited conduct on a late occasion.
March 4. Mr. Sawbridge's motion for shortening the duration of Parliaments will come on To-Morrow in the House of Commons.
A very spirited protest was entered Yesterday by several Lords against the Royal Marriage bill.
On Thursday last his Majesty received a Letter from the King of Denmark, under his own hand, stating the late disturbance in Copenhagen, and charging the Queen Dowager Julia, as the cause of all the mischief; his Danish Majesty, in his letter, assured our Monarch, that the sending his Queen to the Castle was merely for her personal safety, that she might be preserved from the effects of the violent party rage which then disturbed his capital.
Feb. 13. By private letters arrived from Dr. Jebb, we have a melancholly account of the Duke of Gloucester's ill state of health. His Highness, it seems, is afflicted with an abscess in his side, on which account the Faculty have given over all thoughts of his recovery: the Duke is only occasionally seized with a flux. The Dr. however, adds, that his Royal Highness bears his illness with a manly fortitude, and seems prepared, with all the serenity of a Christian, for his approaching fate. It is remarkable that the late Prince Frederick died of an empyema in his lungs.

HIS Excellency the Governor intends to go into Mourning on Sunday next on Occasion of the Death of Her Royal Highness the Princess Dowager of Wales.
We hear Sir Francis Bernard, Bart. was lately taken with a light paralytick Disorder at Lincoln in England, and by Advice of his Physicians was gone to Bath to drink the Waters, and that if he did not recover his Health, intended with his Lady to go to Italy or the South of France in the Summer.
Extract of a letter from London, Feb. 7.
"I purposely deferred writing 'till the opening of the sessions, and never was any one in this or the last Reign more peaceable. The faction is no more, Lord Temple will have nothing to do with them: Lord Chatham stays at Somersetshire: Lord Shelburne is going abroad, and Barry on the motion for 25,000 Seamen, spoke for the Motion, and is manifestly Triumphant and seeking out for a new Master on the failure of the old one, all are desponding; the only Appearance of Life is in the Common-Council and in the News Papers: these are written by Wilkes and his desperate Printers, who are courting a Jail in order to lift them into public notice, and to keep themselves from starving. As to the Common-Council it has long been sinking-but is now fallen upon the very lowest of the inhabitants. Nothing can be conceived of meaner than the bulk of the present Majority; Men of the most contemptible understandings, whom no one would trust with £. 20---Think of a Blacksmith and an old Clothman standing for a Common-Council-man,---the latter carried, and the former's Father in Law complained to a Friend of him, that he had just been forced to pay a Debt of five Pounds for him to prevent his being arrested; yet this Blacksmith stood a pole and a scrutiny against a Man of £ 30,000 Fortune. But such low people are the proper Men sought out for by Wilkes and his Associates, whom they can lead as they please; nor would any but such have voted Honors and Cups to a ----- and a -----.
We hear the Most Worshipful JOSEPH WARREN, Esq; Grand-Master of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons in New-England, has granted a Charter for the Election of a new Lodge at Newbury-Port by the Name of ST. PETER'S LODGE. A Number of respectable Masons there having petitioned for the same.
A Schooner from Cape-Nicholas, bound to Salem, laded with Molasses, was the Week before last cast away on Block-Island, the Vessel lost, the People and Cargo saved.
On the 21st of March, the Wreck of a two-Mast Fishing-boat was discovered on Nahant Beach, in Lynn, and the Body of one Man found,---She was from Cape-Ann---Two Men only belonging to her, viz. William Boynton and Jonathan Collins; the Body of the latter was found, being a young Man of about Nineteen Years of Age: The former whose Body is not yet found, has left a Widow and six Children.
Last Wednesday in the Forenoon, a Female Infant was found in a Well near Auchumy's-Lane: Upon a Jury of Inquest being summoned, it was found to have had a Blow on its Head, and the Throat cut from Ear to Ear even to the Back Neck Bone: Who the cruel Murderer was is not discovered. The Child was supposed to have been in the Well some Time, and that it was killed soon after the Birth.
We hear from St. Georges at the Eastward, that two Women going from one House to another about three Miles distant, perished in a Storm of Snow.
On the 28th of February one Lewis Denny, a transient Person having been to the raising a House the Day before, was found dead in an obscure Part of the Town of New-Salem.
On the 25th of March Ensign Joseph Holten of New-Salem, having been unwell for some time, but growing something better, went to do some Business in his Barn, where he was found dead soon after.
Between four and five o'clock on Wednesday Morning last the Parlour of the British Coffee-House, kept by Mr. Cordis, in King-street, was discovered to be on Fire, and before the Family were alarmed, almost all the Wood-work was entirely consumed, with the Furniture, Clock, Looking-glass, &c. and began to break through the Ceiling & Chamber Floor, so they had but just Time to save their Lives after they awoke. The Fire was first discovered by Mrs. Maxwell in the House adjoining the Room, who upon hearing a Noise ran out and alarmed the Neighbourhood, just as the Flames issued from the Windows: The Inhabitants immediately attended with Engines and Buckets, and being supplied with Water, prevented the Fire spreading. It is supposed to be occasioned by a Wooden Beam across the Chimney which must have been burning a considerable Time, and communicated to the Wain-scotting.
Extract of a Letter from London, February 7.
"The Revolution in the Court of Denmark by the best Accounts is, an Intrigue of State not of Gallantry. An ambitious Queen Dowager, taking Advantage of the King's Weakness, and the Inexperience of a young Queen, form'd a Scheme of possessing herself of the Government. The King of Denmark in the beginning of his Travels, took at Hamburg into his Train a young German, who travelled with him as his Physician, in that Capacity he was known to many of the Faculty here in London, and attended Dr. Watron at the Founding-Hospital to learn the English method of Inoculation. This Man in the Course of his Attendance became the Favourite of the King; and when he returned to Denmark raised the Jealousy of the Queen, and was very much disliked by her. In process of time the Queen found he had too great hold of the King, and therefore thought it better to agree with him, and from that time they two governed the Kingdom.---The Dowager Queen knowing the King was of too weak an Understanding to Exercise the Government himself, and must be the Property of any one who got Possession of him, form'd, with the Officers of the German Guards, a Plot to seize the King, the Queen, Count Struenzee and all their Adherents, at the same time some Suspicion of the Fidelity of these Guards had made the Queen and Struenzee enter into a Design to break them into the other Corps. This brought the Plot to a Crisis, and that they might not be broke themselves, they readily assisted (like true pretorian Cohorts) to break up the Government.
A Correspondent has sent us the following Piece of Intelligence, brought by one of the last Vessels from London, viz. "That it may be depended on that Capt. -----, before he left that Place, in Conversation with Mr. -----, was informed, that he had just come from Lord North's, who speaking of the Commissioners, said the Ministry were much surprised that they should presume to appoint Mr. Waterhouse Deputy-Collector in the Room of Mr. Sheaffe, when Mr. Harrison the Collector before he left Boston, had appointed another, in case of Mr. Sheaffe's decease, &c. and that for this the Commissioners had received a severe Reprimand. That the Ministry acknowledged they had been greatly deceived in American Affairs.--- And that the Revenue Acts would certainly be repealed, and the Commissioners recalled."
Extract of a Letter from London, February 9.
"It is with the greatest Difficulty an Admittance into either House of Parliament is obtained: I got in however the 7th of this Month, upon a Debate more general and of greater Consequence than any which it is likely will come on this Session. It was upon a Petition of about 250 of the Episcopal
Clergy, some Gentlemen of Physh and some of Law, praying that a Subscription to the 39 Articles for the future might be dispensed with; an Account of the whole Debate will be published in the Papers, so that it is needless to be particular. It is remarkable however, that not one Member stood up in defence of any of the controverted Articles, or scarcely of the Church itself, upon any other than mere political Grounds:--- Lord North even rose the second Time to explain himself, by saying he was misconceived if any one understood him to affect that the Articles could be defended from Scripture:--- In short the Articles, Church and Bishops, never had so severe a trimming.--- I sat myself very near four of the Bishops during the whole of the Argument. Even the Solicitor General (Wedderburn) was for receiving the Petition: He said as handsome Things of a late Piece called the Confessionalist, as Man could well utter; he said it was in his Opinion unanswerable, and that the Author seemed possessed of infinitely more Candour than the Gentleman, who had endeavoured at ridiculing the Performance. And although the Petition was voted out, yet the Petitioners met with more Encouragement than they expected, and are determined to persevere every Session. It will at least keep their Bishops, &c. better employed than in thinking of an American Bishop, of which I think there is no danger at present. The Presidents of New-York and Virginia Colleges are both here, but I believe totally for different Purposes, and I have good Reason to think so. I am confident America must wait for some considerable Time before the Means of her Deliverance must arise; yet the unavoidably will be relieved; I think they have nothing at present to do but to be careful to cultivate Harmony amongst themselves, and for each Colony to look upon her Neighbour as her Sister, and her Distresses as her own; such a Conduct appearing here will convince Administration that nothing further can be done with a Prospect of Effect against the Liberties of the Colonies, and Things may at length come nearly as they were. I hope I prophesy truly. And indeed Administration if they did but know it, have their Hands full at home, without fishing in troubled Waters. Our King must be in a very unhappy Situation; one Brother at a Distance in a very dangerous Way, another Brother wounding the Honor of his Family at home; his Sister the Queen of Denmark in close Confinement, under Suspicion of dishonourable Conduct, and his Mother now laying dead; add to this the unsettled Minds of his Subjects, and he must be far from a happy Monarch. How is the Scene changed from the Day, he ascended the Throne of his illustrious Grandfather!---His State is not to be envied."
Last Friday Morning, in the severe Snow storm we then had, Capt. Hood, in a Brig from London, belonging to this Place, finding he was near the Land, & the Weather so thick he could not discover the Light-House, came to an Anchor off the Back of Nantasket, and cut away his Masts in order to preserve the Vessel and Cargo; but notwithstanding which the soon after drifted ashore on the Beach there, and bilged: The Cargo is mostly damaged, and the Vessel it is thought will be lost; one of the Seamen named Paul Yendall, of this Town, perished by the severity of the Weather, the others with great Difficulty saved themselves.---Another Brig, Capt. Conner, Master, from Turks-Island, belonging to Newbury, was also drove ashore near the same Place, but it is thought may be got off again.
Yesterday Morning a Schooner sailed from hence for Beverly, but in going through Broad Sound she struck on the Rocks called the Graves, by which Means three Men were unfortunately drowned; but the Skipper and a Negro Fellow were taken out of her by a Vessel bound in here.
Portsmouth, April 10, 1772.
HIS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR HENTWORTH, intends to go in Mourning on Sunday next, on the Occasion of the Death, of Her Royal Highness the PRINCESS DOWAGER OF WALES.
We hear the Ladies and Gentlemen in Town, generally propose going in Mourning on Sunday next.
The Order for Prayer now is, Our Gracious Queen Charlotte, His Royal Highness George Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family.
By certain Intelligence, received last Tuesday, we have a melancholly Account of the Death of Captain MONSIEUR BUNBURY, of this Town, who sailed from hence the 25th of January last, in a Brig bound to the West-Indies. It appears by Letters from the People, that four Days after they left this Harbour, they met with a violent Storm, in which Capt. Bunbury was much Fatigued, and thinking the Danger mostly over had retired in order to get Sleep, leaving his Mate, Mr. David Welch, at the Helm; some time after a large Sea breaking over the Vessel, hove her on her Beams End, which with great Force brought Chests, Casks, &c. down on the Captain, as he lay a Sleep, and kill'd him instantly; at the same Time carrying the Mate, Mr. Welch, and Mr. Kitchen, with Nathaniel Barns, overboard, Mr. Kitchen only got in again; he then was the only Person capable of taking an Observation and carrying her into Port, which he, with the Assistance of the other People left, effected, and are arrived in the West Indies, with the Loss of very little of the Cargo.
Capt. Bunbury is the 60th Master, that has been lost, or died belonging to this Town within 13 Years. He was about 35 Years of Age, has left a sorrowful Widow and 3 young Children, with a great Number of Friends and Acquaintance to mourn his Loss: He was a Gentleman well respected both here and in the West-Indies.
Last Tuesday THEOPHILUS DAME, Esq; Captain in the 8th Regiment came to Town to his Family.
We hear from Orford, an excellent Town, 16 Miles from New-Hampshire, or Dartmouth-College, That on the 21st of March, the Lady of Colonel Phelps, was delivered of a Son, weighing Sixteen Pounds and an half.-----
Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in New-York to his Friend in this Town, dated March 4th 1772.
"WE hear from Newbern in North-Carolina, that his Excellency Governor MARTIN, has in Pursuance of the King's Pleasure, signified by a Letter, from the Secretary of State, published his Majesty's Royal Declaration of Thanks, to the Troops who served under his Excellency Governor TRYON in the memorable Action, which happened between the Loyalists and Insurgents, on the famous 16th Day of May. An Event, which, however misrepresented or censored by the Ignorant and Malevolent, most assuredly restored Peace and good Order to the Province, and gave Stability to the Laws and Constitution of that Country---was highly meritorious in itself, honorable to the Victors, and salutary in its Consequences to all his Majesty's American Colonies."
The Brig Nancy, Thomas Arwin, Master, after being two Days out of the Capes of Virginia, bound to the Island of Antigua, met with a violent Gale of Wind, in the Lat. 34, 10, N, Long. 71, 30 W, sprung a Leak and was wreck'd, so that both Quarters was stove intirely out, and the Main Mast carried
away, with the loss of two Seamen: The Master, Mate and three Men continued on the Wreck six Days, without any Victuals or Water, till the 19th of March, when they were taken off by Capt. William Friend, in the Sloop Peggy, from Hispaniola, bound to Newbury-Port, to which Place these unfortunate People are brought.
The 14th March Capt. Friend, spoke with Capt. Over, in the Brig Pitt, belonging to Salem, she had been out of Carolina four Days, was bound for Dominica; all well on Board. They were then in the Lat. of 32. 40. Long. 72. 30 W.
We hear from Lime, a Town on Connecticut River, in this Province, that on the 17th Day of March, a Child of one Mr. Nelson, of 5 Years of Age, fell from the Chamber into a Kettle of Beer, just taken off the Fire, and so much scalded that he lived only 48 Hours after. And,
On the 15th, a Child of Capt. Peters, of Moorestown, had his Brains beat out by the fall of a Tree.
To the Printer of the Public Advertiser.
SIR,
PLEASE to insert in your next, the two following Inscriptions from one who for many years has made it his Business to dive into the Character of her late Royal Highness the Princess Dowager of Wales.
The first is supposed to issue from the Mouth of an Archangel hovering over her Royal Corpse in the Jerusalem Chamber, and calling out to those who, from Ignorance, Levity, or Malice, have been her Defamers.
Behold! weep, and repent!
The other is supposed to be engraved on her Tomb in the following Manner:
Here lies the Body Of one of the Most heavenly human Souls That ever were refined In the Crucible of This wicked World.
I am, seldom with Pleasure to myself, often with Pity for the Public, much oftener with Indignation, if not against yourself, at least against your Employers, and at present, in the midst of my Grief, Administration, and Resignation.
One of the Readers of your Paper.
We are informed that the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor intends to put into Mourning the Sword and Mace-Bearer, the Common Hunt and Carver, with fifteen of his young Men, by giving them black Cloth Gowns, on Purpose to be worn during the Time of the Mourning as was done for the late King and his present Majesty's Father.

The Power of Innocence. THE blooming damsel, whose defence Is adamantine innocence, Requires no guardian to attend Her steps; for modesty's her Friend. Tho' her fair Arms are weak to wield The glittering spear and massive shield; Yet safe from force and fraud combin'd, She is an Amazon in mind. With this artillery she goes Not only 'mongst the harmless Beaux, But e'en unhurt and undismayed, Views the long sword, and fierce cockade, Tho' all a Syren as she talks, And all a Goddess as she walks, Yet decency each Motion guides, And wisdom o'er her tongue presides. Place her in Russia's frozen Plains, Where a perpetual winter reigns, The elements may rave and rage, Yet her fix'd mind will never change. Place her ambition in high tow'rs 'Mongst the more dangerous golden showers, E'en there she'd spurn the venal tribe, And fold her arms against the bribe. Leave her defenceless and alone, A pris'ner in the torrid zone, The sunshine there might plainly vie With the bright lustre of her eye; But PHOEBUS' self, with all his fire, Cou'd ne'er one unchaste thought inspire: But virtue's path she'd still pursue, And still, ye fair, wou'd copy you.
