THEIR MA j E ST I ES have commanded, at the Thea-
t►e this evening, the Comedy-of he Inconstwit:

Mr. CHAKLES PINCKNEY, the new American
Ambassador to the Court of. Spain, arrived, some
days ago, off the coast of Sussex, in the fox, which
Vessel being bound to the Port of London, he
shifted his baggage on board another Vessel, bound
to ljamburgh, whither he is gone, on his way to,
Madrid. _

It is stated, that the Cabinet, of Berlin has an.
pounced to our Court the intention of his Prussian
Majesty to Nvithdraw Ms Troops from the Etec.c.to.
rate of Hanover, as soon as the Indemnities on
the Rhine are adjusted. -
In consequence of the circulation of a great number
of forged Notes of the Bank ofAltona, the Bankers,
Merchants, and Stock-brokers of Harnbuth have
agreed not to accept any Notes issued by tliai Bank,
whether real or counterfeit. This measure has been
caused by the inatlivity, of the Direlors of the Al-
tuna Bank in finding ottt the authors of the forgeries,
aid.is intended to make them more diligent in their
researches.

JACOB PRESTON, Esq. was on Sunday se'unight
elated Mayor of. Yarmouth. The ceremony of
choosing the
,Mayor is curious—Six Members of
the Common 'Council and six - Freemen of -the 80.
rough, areiticked up-in the Great Hall, near the.
Church, until-tine are •iihanimous in the choice of
one. person,, The Elafbrs were this year_ .thirty_
three hours in, coming, to their determination. They
have, howeVer, been known to sit niuc days.—
Neither. food nor light should be adniitted into the
room .during the election, but the parties left .to
watch and starve each other out.

Mr. PATTON, who is appointed to .succeedsGo-
vernOr BROOKE as Governor. of St. Helena, is like-.
wise to rank as a Colonel in the servke, and're--

The following is an Ordinance issued at 'Vienna,
`relative to the new fashions r—His Royal Highness
the ARCHDUKE CHARLES, having learned with, the
greatest displeaSure, that several young men in ser-
vice.dishonour the duties confided to them, as ser.
yams of the state, in following.the most ridiculous
fashions, such as hats without a leaf, cropped heads,
neck,-handkerchiefs enveloping the chin, pantaloons,
and slippers scarcely covering the toes of the feet.—
His Highness havineOrdered in the strictest manner
that all the pc/sons belonging' to the Council of
War do leave off; from this moment,' this indecent.
fashion,'.and dress themselves as becomes men in the
service of the State 4; the Direction of the Protocol
of the Council of Waris.charged to notify this or-
der to the' persons in employment under it, in . or-
der that -they may 'conform thereto, and that His
Royal Highness may-not see himself constrained to
have recourse to- rigorous, measures against those
Who should farther violate this -regulation,"
The theatrical prophets already predid great feuds
at Covent-Garden, resulting from the rivalry of
BILLINGTtIN and STORACE. They are likely, how.

it became a question which 9f the two ,armies_ was
vid:Aious. :The battle of -ifekliopp/is...,,which took
place two months afterwards,, sufflqiently prored_it.
The Con vention
.concluded ,by , Ge _I7,E LL;ARD,
pn' the 28th pf:June, is precisely the s4ane_as that of.
Ar;sb. If Admiral KEITH, were not to keep
good faith, anti to forbid the•passage by sea, as he
after the treaty. of E4Arisb, we should soon see a
new battle d• Liefiop/is.

If the Eng had some success. on ,the day of
the .21st of March, it i 3 because all the General
Officers did no: behave there like the brave LA-
NussE, and did not shew those heroical eriiitnents
which alone command victory. A cannon. ball
took off his 'thigh in the beginning of the battle :
he lived, however,. eight days. The chief surgeon,

CHARACTER."--TEe Charaaer which I would
recommend, is the modern Full Round Hand, as the
most eligible, on account of expedition and general
use; independent of the' certainty of expression ;
which, in the Old Text Hand, was frequently ren-
dered indefinite by the diced assimihztion of va-
rious consonants, as also difficult from the .oceur.:
rence of several letter-si which formed an .appearance -
of indentations, and could only • be well understood
by professional persons If an error should be
made in any Record, I would not,.have an.y'erasure
made, but the word or words to remain with a line
drawn through. them to notify the error ; as an era-
sure being written on might create a doubt whether
it might not haVe been an alteration. made to an-
swer
some private or sinister purpose.
INK.—There'are many modern met:•Jds of mak-
ing Ink : the best I have hitixrto found, for the
space of forty years, is that made of simple ingre-
dients, viz. a due proportion of-galls and copperas,
and .clear gum arable, having the soft water pre-
viously boiled, and when cold, oarefolly poured off,
leaving, every particle Of sediment behind.

occurs :

and heavy; bruise them, afterwards put them into
