informing them, that unless the half of the sum re
vired be immediately paid, the City must expect
a fresh garrison of 10,000 men ; and that it wag to'
bo.hopt-o, the payment of the other half would be
excused, and also that the number of Troops now
lying here would be diminished, and even the plan
for ere&ino- an Hospital for 4 or.s9o_sick be given up.

have had recourse to a forced loan, in. which all the
inhabitants, without dislinttion, must take a part,

FEB. U.---Ther: Council of this City has received
the iollowing Leiter :
".Gentlemen-1 am charged by my Sovereign, the
EMperor of the French and King of Italy-,.t0 de-
mand a ecintribution of four millions of francs from
the 'City of Frankfort. Gentlemen, as I by no
Means doubt of your good-will, I request,"that as
soot, as possible you will pay the-said sum into the
hathis .of .the General Cashier-of the Grand Army.:
and in.:pee-tor of the Revenues, who will transmit
this Letter to you, and is charged to confer with the
Council upon the necessary measures .or fulfilling
the objc.6l of his mission.
" I have the honour to be, with great esteem,
" The Marshal of the Empire, Command-
dant in Chief of the 7th 'Corps' of the
Grand Army, .

AuGERE Mu."

Hereupon the Council immediately nominated
three of its Members to go to Paris to solicit the
Emperor to rescind his orders.. In the -meanwhile
the Coin-161 haVe published a statement of the de-
mand, addressed to the Citizens, in which they ex-
press their hopes, that the Emperor will lend
gracious ear to the representations. of their inability,
as the payment of the sum demanded would plunge
the City in the deepest distress. Tn case of-failure
in this application, they recommend a submission
to the *ill of the Supreme Disposer of events: nand
finally- console themselves under the idea, tbat this
will probably be-the only storm that will break over
their heads, as one of the last consequences of the
late unhappy:War. They conclude with expressing
a hope for better times, and. that Frankfort may yet
recover its former prosperity.
ROUE, .TAN. latest. accounts from Na-
ples confirm the reports of the-re-embarkation of
the Russians; and add, that the Royal Family went
on ship-board for Palermo, though the wind at'the
time was unfaVourable. This measure was the re-
sult-of a Council of State, which had deliberated a
long while on the subject. The Hereditary Prince
was much against: the measure, but was compelled
to assent to it by the Queen. A very warm scene
between the mother and,son is spoken of upon this
occasion. Before:the Court withdrew, a 'Govern-
ment and a Guard of Citizens were formed: The
King of Sardinia has likewise left 'the Continent of
Italy.

HAGUE, FEB. O.—Besides the Batavian Corps
-that have joined Marshal AuGERE.II4 we now learn,
that another part of our Army, under General NI-U
.51°NT, has received orders
:to march to venetian
Dalmatia.

SEM L I N, JA N . 27 .---TheTroops which the,Emperor
of Austria has ordered to cover the Frontiers of his
States on the side of Servia, begin to arrive,• and
most opportunely ; for latterly the Turks at .Bel- I
grade have passed the narrow harriers whieh Separate
us, and carried oft` several ;boots loaded w4h 'corn
and tour. The Austrian Commander having.pre-
ferred his complaint to the Turkish. Governor at
Belgrade, the latter returned„for answer, that he did
every thing in- his power to prevent these excesses,
but that the Austrian Officer could not be ignorant
of the dreadful' situation of the City,, which wiis in
want of every thing, and hard pressed by the Ene-
my at the same time; that he muSt'imputt•to ex-
treme necessity the seizure of a few boats, the value
of which should- be paid into the Iniperiar treasury':l
as soon as tranquillity should be 're-established in:
the Country. Unfortunately there, islittle hopes.
that these bloody scenes will soon' b'sterniiicalett: A
desperate battle lately took place under the walls
of:Schabatz, which the Servians took by assault;
the massacre was general, and all the Muss:Wl-nen
were put to the sword. On the other side, a num-
ber of losnians, who attempted to pass the Drina
in boats, were all destroyed.

ing of the feith of January with some companions
Who were not altogether strangers to the joys of
Bacchns, and about one in the morning was return-
ing- home, when he met the unfortunate Prisoner,
in the Strand. PreliminarieS were soon settled, and
they adjourned to the house, of the other Prisoner,
in Marygold-court, where the Prosecutor paid half-as.
Crown for his edmisSion. They were shown to a
morn up stairs ; but in aboilt twenty minutes after-
wards were uuseasonably\interrupted by the thirsty
landlord, who was extremely solicitous to have soine-
thing warm. He therefore dunned the Prosecutor
for money to get gin, the grand specific in such
cases. But the Prosecutor, either not willing to
part with his money, or intent on higher game, told.
him he had none ; wheiT the Landlord and his ihir •
partner immediately collared hiin, and rifled his
pockets of the treasure in !question., They offered
hiin-half-aeguineaeand a sixpence back, -but 'this 'he
indignantly refused, wishing to have all or
,nothings
'Words being the. necessary consequence of this pecu-
niary- transa6tion, they both 311 lied forth With
solution to go to. some• neighbouring Justice, but
quarrelled b the way, and gave each other in charge
io the Watchman.
The Prisoner, Ann Wolstencroft, stated, in her

'several places in vain, they went to the house of the
other Prisoner, Where they got admission; and the
Prosecutor paid a shilling for the use of a room; the
landlord was with them, and on proposing to have
•gin, the Prosecutor took a handful of halfpence out
of his pocket; among which she obserVed some gold
and-silver ; she therefore took the money from his
hand, observing, that he was foOlish, and separated
the gold from te copper, both of which she laid on
the table. The landlord and the Prosecutor then
:wept out together, as she thought, for gin, but leav-
ing the money as she had laid it. Upon their not
returning she Wept to bed, the table being exadly
in the same state they had left it. The latter 'part
of this testimony was further corroborated by the
watchman, who Went to the lidusrs after having
taken them into custody, and fountt things exadly
he the same state as represented by'ihe Landlord et
the watchhoUSe, and as stated by the Prisoner.
.The money, besides the halfpence, was only half-a-
guinea and a sixpence. The Prosecutor, on being

the worse for liquor, but that he was not insensibly
'drunk.

R4PORT.

'COURT OF KING's BENCH, F. iB.

ANDERSON V. NEWMAN.

TH rs was an Aftion brouglit to recover the amount
of an Apothecary's bill ; and the principal question
between the parties arose from a-charge of six guineas.
for inoculating the Defendant's' wife and child with
the vaccine `atter.
To prove thegeneral charge made for this opera-
tion, a Surgical Gentlethan was called, who eluci7;
dated the .subjeCt with great -perspicuity. He con-
sidered the charges were to be computed from .the
circumstances of rank of the patient, and theccle,
brity and eminence of the physician (or rather ope 7
ratio). Whether he kept 'his' carriage or not, Nyas'a
good criterion to form' a judgment upon.; Hi the
former, the fee was ,generally five
_guineas,. and
sometimes much more, according.to.the progress of
the disease ; if the latter, it consequently was
much less. It appeared, however, that the patients.
in question went to the shop of the Plaintiff, where
the operation was performed Without any further
trouble of either medicine or attendance; and that
thiee guineas had been offered in the first instartce,
and refused: The Defendant, it •also appeared,
•was not above the middling rank in life; and some
Gentlemen of the Faculty, on his behalf,. proved, that
it frequently happened, that where the Professor of
Physic was in the habit of attending the family, no
extra charge was made ; but, at all events, the
sum of three guineas was a very sufficient compen-
sation under the existing circumstances.. The de-.
claration,' in, furtherance 'of the Plaintiffs ease,
also averred, that there were divers certain visits
and attendances; which averments not being sup-
ported 'in evidence, the Plaintiff- was Nonsuited: .
