YORK-HOUSE&---.The DUKE of YORK has dispos-
ed of his house in Piccadilly for the sum of 35,0001.
The purchasers are a company of builders, who in-
tend forming it into a Tavern, upon a similar plan
to the London Tavern. A house of this descrip-
tion has long been wanted at the West End of the
Town. The two drawing-rooms are the most ele-
gant in London, and the lower apartments very
numerous and extensive.—The reason why the.
DUKE of YORK disposes of the house, is owing to
the Dutchess's residing so little in town. Her
Highness has been for several months in a precarious
state of health ; we are now• happy to state to the
Pulic, that her health is mending daily, but the
opinion of the Physicians is, that country air is in-
dispensably necessary to Her Royal Highness's per-
feet recovery.—The DUKE will reside in future,
when in Town, at his apartments at Whitehall.
A discovery has lately taken place, in a most re-
speetable family,• that is truly affliding to ever-y
friend of morality and virtue. The Lady, who is
the daaghter of a most respeEtable Baronet, and
the mother of seven children, has hitherto passed
for a model of modesty and good condu&, and
the charaler of her husband and all his family
was as amiable as any 'this Kingdom boasts of.—
His situation is peculiarly cruel, the scandalous
commerce of Mrs. M. with his most intimate friend,
a Clergyman, having commenced five years back,
since which period it is impossible to filiate the
children.

The discovery was made by a female servant, who
assigns remorse as her motive; The Lady fled to
her worthy Parent, already broken-hearted with the
loss of an amiable Son ; but he refused to behold
her. She is at present under the proteaion of her
cousin, Lady B-, the rest of her relations hav-
ing declined to receive her.
On Wednesday se'nnight the Margrave of AN-
st. AcH gave the Poor of the parish of Benham,- a
fat bullock, and one hundred loaves of bread. On
Christmas4air, the whole of His Highness's la-
bOurers, with their wives and families, dined at the
mansion.

On Sunday last died, at Winchester, Mrs. DES
CHAmrs,telia of the late Rev. JoHN DES CHAMPS.
It is an old saying, that a Prophet never re-
ceives honour in .his own Country. As proof to
the contrary, Belcher, the Bristol Hero, has been
engaged by the Managers of, the Theatre, at that
place, at a salary of ten guineas per week, to exhi-
bit the Science of Boxing on the Stage. He has
taken with him his old antagonist, iladreav Gam-
ble, who is to have three guineas per week, being
only a second rate Performer.

An unfortunate girl in the neighbourhood of
.Soho-square, who had once been in the custody of
a Sheriff's Officer, and had smarted under his lash,
contraaed a fresh debt, which rendered her liable
to a visit from the same quarter : one of her as-
sociates called upon her a few mornings ago in a
great hurry, and told her a Sheriff's-officer was in
pursuit of her. The communication so affe6led the
girl, that she flew to a back.window, out of which
she leaped, in order to escape, when she fell on the
flags, and was killed upon tie spot,

§, The Details were received froin Paris, of the operations
Of the French Army which led to the dilemma in which
Austriani were obliged to sue to. the French Genseral

a cessation Of "hostilities, as their centre was much en-
dangered by haVing pushetl.tott far beyond their wings.

centre, how dial-exit might have been4the circumstances
