TO TATE 1D

SIR,

I RAvE observed in your Paper, that you have
received information from Dover, of that place and
Deal being infected with the malignant Fever
which has prevailed in France : this; information
I find has found its way into other Journals, which
may naturally create considerable uneasiness in the
Kingdom. I beg, therefore, to contradict this Pa-
ragraph in tots, as it respects Deal ; for you may
be assured, that no such disorder has found its way
here ; on the contrary, this place is as healthy as at
any former period in the memory of man.

I remain, Sir, •
Your very obedient Servant,
B. DURBAN•

Deal, 4th March, zBO3.

DOPER, MAII.CB 4.

TK rumours of an infettious disease having been
communicated to this place from France, ate totally
void of foundation.

Coughs, attended with a slight Fever, have pre.
vailed to an uncommon degree, and have been con•
sidered as a kind of Influenza, but unattended with
any malignant symptoms, and we do not hear of a
single person having died of it.

A AVIV% MURPHY, Esq.--It is with'the highest
satisfadion we arc able to announce to a generous
Public the following
.eyent :
Mr. ADD I NGTO N haS,been induced, without anY
solicitation either from Mr. Mortrwr, or any one
of his friends, to move HIS MAJESTY to confer a
mark of Royal FaVour . upon this truly loyal, eru-
dite, and venerable man, and in consequence thereof
Zits MAJEsTic, has been pleased to grant him zool.
per annum.
This unexpeded honour comes as pure as it Psi'
bly could be conferred, to reward an Author who
has for so many years eminently contributed to the
entertainment and instruction of the Public. Vi,e,
have not the _smallest doubt but the. Public will
justly appreciate the elegant and considerate con.
daft of Mr. Apo tato rou on this occasion, and
applaud Ills MAJCSTY'S bounty, in thus most gra•
cionsly extending his. Royal Munificence to so de"
serving an object.

sublime entertainment at coVent•garden Theatre,

certainly contributed very ably to the general gm!

ROBBER! ES. Two other hackney
were robbed on Thursday night last, in the sal",
manner as stated in yesterday's paper, One of
them was taken about eleven o'clock from Covent:.
garden, by a man genteelly habited, who ordered
him to drive to Battlebridge, and when they came
there, said he wanted to go to a house up Maiden'
lane (a dirty road leading to Highgate hill, which
is only frequented in summer, except by carts.)
The coachman with difficulty drove to almost the,
end of Highgate, when the man ordered him to storo
got out, asked him what was his fare, then the
time ; and upon pulling out his watch, presented
two pistols, demanding his watch and money, when
the coachman hesitating, the robber discharged
one of his pistols at him, the ball of which
passed very near his head, and instantly taking
a kind of dagger from his bosom, stabbed it at
him, and slightly wounded him in the side. At this
time the coachman perceived another man in the
lane, at a short distance behind his .coach, and
therefore delivered his money, amounting to about
seventeen shillings, and his watch, to the robber,
who immediately made off across the fields towards
Kentish Town. Two balls appeared to have passed
through the coach. The villain answers. the de-
scription of the man who committed the robbery
on Wednesday night, but had something round his
face, which almost wholly concealed it. The other
coachman was taken on Thursday night, about the
same hour, from Town to Peckham Gap, and rob•
bed in nearly the 'same manner, of his watch and
money, so that there must be more than one pradisa
ing this extraordinary mode of depredation.
