-and to be happy narsclves, is one and the same
thing. lam glad that chambers, halt, and tufted robe, con-
tinue plmse ; -and make nodoubt, that all the NINE, in their
several dopartments of charming, will sue for your love with
all their powers of enefiantn:ent. I know too well the dangee
of a i‘ezo antunr, or of a revicting pamun, not to have some 1
*ass for:your discretion. • Civc any of these alluring ladies the
meeting .by day listlit and in tiwir tarns; not becoming the
slave Orzty 'one of them . nor be irawn into late hours•by the
temptation of thcir,sweet converse. I rejoice that college is not
yet evacuated of its learned garrison ; and, I hope the gover-
nor of this fortress of sciencerthe Master, or his admirable aid-
-de-camp, the tutor, will not soon repair to their respective ex-
cursions. Dr. Brown, to whom I desire to present my. best
cornpli.-"?..nts, is very obliging in accommodating you with a
stable. I hope, with this aid, Mr. Wilson's computation may
not be out above one-half, to bring it at all near the mark. I
conclude, -a horse's allowance at Cambridge is upon the scale of
a sizar's commons. - However it prove, I am glad to think you
and he will find more convenience for riding at every spare
hour thar..offers. Stucky will carry Mr. Wilson safely, and, I
trust, not urspleasan'ay. The brothers of the turf may hold the
scud contents of -his shoulders and forehand somewhat cheap ;
b:ut lijo Dan's leave, he is no uncreditable clerical steed. No
news yet from Pitt. James is here, the flower of schoolboys.

" I write, my dearest William, the post just going out, only
to thank you for your most welcome letter, and for the affec-
tionate anxiety-yon express for my situation, left behind in the
hospital, when • our, flying camp moved to Store. Gout has
for the present subsided, and seems to intend deferring his fa-
vour till winter, if autumn will do his duty, and bless us with
a course of steady weather ; those days. which Madam de Se-
vine so beautifully paints, des jours fil4es d' oret de saye.—
I have the pleasure to tell you, your mother and sisters re-
turned perfectly well from Bucks, warm in praises of magnifi-
cent and princely Stowe; and full of due sentiments of the
agreeable and kind reception they found there. Nosless-than
two daneings,in the short tirne..they passed there. One escape
ftom a 15iasp a hest, which proved only, anadventure td talk of,
b theintomparable skill and presence of mind of Mr. Cotton,
driving CVECcarecirriage with four very fine horsea,and
no pesitiw 4bej, fell. into an • am4izscatle of wasps more
fierce than Punaoars, who beset these coursers of spirit not in=
f:erior to Xanthus and Poitarge,, and stung them to madness;
when disdaining the master's hand, he turned them short into
a hedge, thrnw some of them, as he meant to do ; and leaping
down,' seized the bridlet of the leaders, which afforded time for
you :sisters to get out sate and:sound, their honour, in point of
coutage, intact, as well as their :bones; for they are celebrated
not a little on their composure in this alarm* situation. I re-
joice that your time passes to you. mind, in the evacuated seat
of the Muses. However, knowing, that those Heavenly Ladies
(unlike the London fair) delight most and spread their choicest
charms and treasures in sweet retired solitude, I wo' n't wonder
that their true votary is happy to be alone with them. Mr.
Pretyman* will by no means spoil company, and I wish you
joy of his return. How many commons have. you lost of late ?
Whose fences have you broken ; and in what Lord of the
manor's pound have any strays of science been found,
since the famous adventure of catching the horses with such
admirable address and alacrity ? I beg my affectionate compli-
ments to Mr. Wilson, and hope you will both be aware of an
inclosed country for the future. Little James is still withhs,
doing penance for the high living, so well described to you in
Mrs. Yam's excellent epistle. All loves follow my sweetest
boy in more abundance than I have time or ability to express.
I desire my best compliments to t'le kind and obliging Master,
who loves Cicero and ycu."
"• My readers will be sorry to learn that the following is the
last Letter of Lord Chatham which 1 am able to submit to
their perusal ; it was written only seven or eight months before
his death. •

Hayes, Sept. 22, 1777.
" How can I employ my reviving pen so well as by address-
ing a few lines to the hope and comfort of my life, my dear
William? You will have pleasure to see, under my own hand,
that I mend every day, and that I am all but well. I have
been this morning to Camden-place, and sustained most man-
fully a visit, and all the idle talk thereof, for above an hour by
Mr. Norman's clock; and returned home untired to dinner,
where I ate like a farmer. Lord Mahon has confounded, not
convinced, the incorrigible soi-disant Dr. Wilson. Dr. Frank-
lin's lightning, rebel as he is, stands proved the more innocent,
and Wilson's nobs must yield to the pointed conductors. On
Friday Lord Mahon's indefatigable spirit is to exhibit another
incendium to the Lord Mayor, foreign Ministers, and all lovers
of philosophy, and the good of society; and means to illumi-
nate the horizon with a httle bonfire of twelve hundred faggots
and a double edifice. Ilad our dear friend been born sooner,
Nero and the second Charles could never have amused them-
selves by reducing to ashes the two noblest cities in the world.
My hand begins to demand repose; so with my best compli-
ments to Aristotle, Homer, l'hucydides, Xenophon, not for-
getting the civilians and law of nations tribe, adieu my dearest
William. _ _ _

" CHATHAM."

Extract of a letter found on the Maudlin Stairs,
a the City of Durham, on Friday last :

" I have fixed Tuesday for my m-t—ti, that you may have
the opportunity, by means of an express from York, of obtain-
ing an advantage over our troublesome opponent, the printer of
the College Gazette. Nothing perhaps for many years, not
even the trial of our, irtuous and much-injured Queen, has
excited so much interest as my forthcoming speech. For al-
though I have let out a part of the secret—there is one very
important proposition yet to be divulged—one that is of the ut-
most consequence to me,-and in fact to you also, for my.ability
to support you will depend in a great measure upon its suc-
cess. It is a proposition to remove expences frosn my own
shoulders, and throw them- upon the county. This you will
say. is good. Superior talent and services should be paid for.
Print my speech in full,- and circulate it through the county
with the utmost speed." . Signature not legible.—(Durham Ad-
vertizc.r.) .

BRIGHTON, APRIL 22.—At the Pavilion, on
Good Friday, Divine Service was performed in
the presence of the KING, Suite, and Household,
by the Dean of HEREFORD and the Rev. HUGH
PEARSON ; and again, this day, Easter Sunday,
at nine o'clock in the morning, and two in the
afternoon. His MAJESTY has not appeared in
public since our former report to that effect, but
has daily taken pedestrian airings on the Palace
Lawn.—The Princess AUGUSTA, and other com-
pany, are expected at the Pavilion to-morrow.

HAWKERS AND PERLA RS.—Io a former journal
we intimated the intention of the trade in this
town to, form a Society for their mutual protec-
tion against the-unlicensed sales of Hawkers and
Pedlars: .Several meetings of the principal trades-
men in the- town have been held for this purpose,
and an associat►on Fs now formed upon the above
plan. A fund was immediately raised for the
purpose of-carrying into effect the object of the
Society ; and prosecutions are to be immediately
instituted against every hawker or pedlar who
shall attempt to carry on an illegal traffic in the
town, to the injury of the inhabitant tradesman,
as well as the-public, who are in general most
grossly imposed upOn by persons of this descrip-
tion. To effectuate the object of the Society, a
Committee- has been also appointed who are to
meet regularly for
.the dispatch of business, and
active officers are-upon the look out to detect
these piratical invaders.—Sirnilar Societies are in
existence in.many parts of the kingdom, and the
inhabitant traders of this town have been now
compelled to adopt the same measures for the
protection of their rights.--(Hampshire Tele-
graph.)

The abolition of The Free Mart at Portsmouth
in July, will be productive of great benefit to
the inhabitants of the -three towns, and we are
much surprised, that the Corporation of Ports-
mouth have never applied to Parliament to be
authorised -to do it.
