SHE4RNESS, JULY ,2Z.

Tit! Trial Cutter sailed this day on. a Cruize ;
the Adder Gun-vessel is come into Harbour ; and
the Ranger Sloop of War is arrived at the Great
Nore.

We are concerned to state the loss of the past-
India Company's armed Transport, the Real Fi-
delliss;mo, Captain LIPPIATT, in her passage to
Mocha, with His Majesty's Both Regiment, from
Goa. Four of the crew died through fatigue ; the
remainder of the Crew and the Troops were taken
on board the Perseverance.

A private Letter from ,f3ontbay, by the last Ex-
press, informs us, that ,the aispatch, Captain
Ho-Tot wsoN, was safely arrived there with a cargo
of sugar, from Cochin China. The Captain stated,
that the King had issued an Edkl, by which free
ingress into all parts of Cochin China had been
granted to, all English Vessels, with exemption
from port charges, and duties of every description.
General Meeting was on Wednesday held at
the London Tavern, of the new Corporation of the
West India Dock Company. The Chairman stated
the general views of himself and brother Direc-
tors, and their reason for applying tor Parliament
fer_leave to raise a further sum of money by way
of additional Capital for the completion of the
works, and the erettion of another Dock for the
export trade, It was moved, " That it appears ex-
pedient that a further snm of 210,0001. should be
raised for the. purposes stated." This was carried
unanimously, A Resolution of the Diredors was
then read, recommending the same to be raised
at the rate of T4Ol. for each hundred. This was op-
posed by Mr. JACKSON, who concluded with intro.
ducing an entirely different proposition,- by way of
amendment, the substance of which was, that such
further sums of money as were required for the corn,
pletion of the works, should be raised in the same
manner as the first 500,0001. giving the prekrence of
the ilNrt;rtkrin to the original Subscribers, or tho:,.
who succeeded to their shares. This amendment
produced a debate of some hours. -
On putting the question, the shew of hands was
in favour of Mr. jAcKsotes amendment, 'when -a
ballot w05,-4crpiclso;. the same was taken, and after
caving up the Votes, the Scrutineers declared, for
Mr. JAcxsoN% motion 91, against .it 64. IVlaj.o-
-rity 27.

The General Quarter Sessions for Wilts were last
week held at Warminster, when the. Grand Jury
made-presentment of certain atrocious outrages lately
committed in that town and neighbourhood ; ,such
as burning ricks, barns, 4c,, and by the most atroci:.7-
ous and unprecedented attempts (in no less than five
instances within the last fortnight) to commit mifr-'.
der, by firing bullets and shot into the bedichamOers
of several individuals in the dead of 6lght.. The
spirit of discontent which has at length produced
such dreadful excesses, is understood to have been
generated by a jealousy in the workmen, at the use
of machinery in the clothing bysihess ; these people
not duly considering, that without such machinery
their labour would not merely be abridvd, but the
business be wholly lost to that part of the country,
since the Manufaeturers could not sell their goods,
if not enabled to go to market on the same terms
with those of other districts.

On the sth of this month, Citizen AutatQprr
and his wife, both aged about 70, and who had been
married in the Church of St. Laurent, at Paris, on
the sth of July 1752, celebrated in the same
Church a solemn Mass of thanks on the Anniver-
sary of their marriage. They have had eighteen
children, of whom six, as well as five. Grand
Children, and a great number of friends and strangers
assisted at this ceremony.

•
The vigilance of the Bow_street Officers, and .1
their endeavours to prevent any kind of outrage or
indecency during the present Ele6lion for Middlesex,
are such as entitle them to •the thanks of the Public.
Yesterday as a coach with persons carrying '
MAINW AR INC'S ribbons, was passing
_through one
of the turnpikes between Kensington and•ilammer_
smith, they were hooted and hissed by a' mob whiCh
stood at the gate. Two or three ruffians, not con.
tent with this indecency, threw dirt at the Cody;
they were immediately taken into custody by ;
.patrole, and sent off to town. 1. -

Ever since the suppressioil,.abOuifour years. since,
of the Fair- which had been held many years at
Mortlake," the same' Parties have succeeded in hold-
ing one on Barnes Common. La.st year the "Ma-
gistrates attended to suppress it, hut failed, ..0o
ondv, lest, being the return of the day, a number
of Police Officers succeeded in preventing its being
held ; some rural sports were-, however, permitted.

At Brentwood Fair, on Monday and Tuesday
last, there was but sniall show -of cattle, and
though there wet but few buyer,
.the stock was
soon taken up at high prices; good cart horses were
also.scarce, and dear.

VIENNA, JULY 3.—Letters from Cr,wfatit state,
that PAsswAN OG Lou has completely defeated a Corps
of 3000 Turks. He has published a Proclamation, in
which he orders the Inhabitants of Wallachia to re-
turn to their habitations, and to pay the Contribtition
which he has imposed. The Courts of rienna and
Pociiburgh have ordered Troops to march to pro_
tea their Territories from any attacks. If eAsswAN
OcLotr does not return to order, the Russians and
Austrians will at the same time enter Wallachia,
and drive him from that Province. This measure,
which has been concerted between the two Courts,
will be preceded by a Declaration addressed to the
'Porte, who will probably pay the, expence of ,the
War with some part of her European Dominions.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM PARIS", JULY 19.
" I have been to the Opera. Tragipe, called '
Le Theatre des Arts. The Singing is very bad.—
It is neither like our taste, nor that of Italy, and the
Performers, for that reason perhaps appear, indifFer..:
ent, but the Dancink compensates fully for the defi-
ciency in the singing. I had no idea it was possible
to reach such perfettion in that art. The Figu-.
ratites: dance -neirly as well as some of our best
Dancers. I was extremely pleased with it. Last
night I went to the Opera Comipte, which I like
much better than' ours—the style of the Music is
delightful, and the Performers excellent. The Pa,,
lais Royal has much disappointed me—it swarms:
with the dirtiest set of men, and the vilest
Objects of the other sex, I have ever seen. Thei
women of all sorts are difficult to be distinguished,.
from their dress—they all dress extretwly- open,
even to disgust ; but I am told much improvement
has taken place in that respeet—they must have
been absolutely naked a few months ago. They'
have an ugly way of wearing their hair over their ~.
face in ringlets, while they do not seem to keel*
it very-clean—it has a disgusting appearance to at,; .
Englishman.
" I have been to the o,tero. 13t#1, or Italian
Opera, which is indeed 'very- infaior to ours. -It
seems to me that they have more of the French
style than the Italian, and there is no Oancing.-
However, it boasts of better company, and better. '
dressed people than the other places of public'
amusement. After the. Opera I•went. to Frescati,
where there was a. Fae, and' very good fireworksc

the women were very pretty indeed, but tnostlir
brunettes.—Prtocati is an humble imitation of our ,;
Vauxhall. It is open every nights, add excepting,
on particular- Fetes, gratis. The. expellees are sups

T-t-ure,as is ustial with us, and the *lick ceremony
is eXadri--th-i--iline:
,His Box, which is richly"
decorated with crimson and gold, is private, and
he has a private way into it. One thing I particW,
lady remarked, that the Audience ckapped the Per.:
formers much more than they did the chief Consul
on his entrance.
" The People here seem pettedly satisfied. 'net
say very wisely, that they have had enough of
troubles, and as the Laws are now executed, anti.
the Chief Consul fills his situation wish great pro 4
priety, they are content."

A Gentleman, some years ago, was travelling
through a wood in France, with his servant, when
he was attacked by a young man who robbed hila
of so louis d'ors, his watch, and a gold seal. The
robber also took both their horses. The Gentle..
man and his servant wandered about the wood for
some time, and at length perceived a house of verf
respeClable appearance. Upon going to it the Gen.,
tleman found that it belonged to an oid Brother
Officer, with whom he had served many years be.
fore, He was received ‘vitli.the greatest kindness
and hospitality. When they were at supper, the
.son of the owner of the house came in, and was in'
scantly recognized by the Gentleman to be the
person who robbed him. He however said nothing,
lilt after supper retired to his chamber. His servant,
who also recognized the robber, and who was in the
greatest alarm, told him, that both their horses were
:in the stable. His pilaster desired him not to say 0
word about it ; and the next morning very early,
he went into his .friend's apartment, and acquainted`
him the disgraceful and dangerous practices
his soh. The agony of the Father upon this intele
ligence was such, that he fainted. Upon his reco-
very, he ivent to his son's room, who was, or pre"
tended to be asleep. On the table he found the
