:We forMerty mentioned that the Childers sloop of
war had arrived at Leith, after having had a severe
action with a Dnnish privateer. of superior strength,
in the North Sea. The LOrds of the Admiralty have
approved•of Captain DILLON'S Fonduct on this oc-
casion, and lave promoted him to the rank of Post
Captain. He' trill .remains in Leith, in consequence
of his wound.
Tucker, the bankrupt, who had been tried and -at
quitted in London, on the charge' of embezzling his
effects, and not appearing' to his commission, was
indicted at Exeter for Ceroniously and fraudulently
tearing or getting off the stamps from three bills of
exchange, with intent fraudulently to use such stamps
on other bills of exchange : he was acqu;tted.
From what fell, a few days since, in Parliament,
from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, respecting pri-
I rate Lotteries, it is pretty clear that, after the City
1 Freehold Schemes are terminated, no more private
1 Lotteries will be granted. This sensation so exten-
sivcly operates, as to have excited a great increase of
interest towards the momentous City Scheme, which
is now so near of issue. In consequence, a -great por-
tion of the Public appear dkermined not to let such
an opportunity of productive adventure, for a titling
1 stake, escape them.
Rex. J. GAMBLE'S BRIT'S!' Tht.—The health and
interest of the Inhabitants of this Country, it is well
known, have been long and d:eply injured by the in-
troduction and great use of Foreign Tea, the produc-
tion of a poisonous plant, and prepared in a most
dangerous manner, so often to be blended with tinc-
ture of copper. This intimation would be of no use
against the prevailing taste for this article, could not
the Proprietors of the British Tea offer to the Public
a Beverage, from productions of their own growth,
equally gratifying to the palate as the Foreign Tea,
and being at the same tine different from the other,
and highly beneficial to the health. The British Tea is
a composition of the finest aromatics of this island,
prepared in a mo,t attentive and laborious manner, in
order to preserve their delicacy and virtues. It has
been proved a most effectual remedy to these atilicted
with ;Nervous Hysteric, or Hypochondriac Disorders,
indigestion, Weakness of Stomach, DeT?ressien of
Spirits, and Windy and Bilious Complaints. By its
use, those in the very last stage of the aiove maladies,
have been restored to perfect health. Sold, wholesale
and retail, at Mr. Butler's,. No 4, Cheapside, corner
of Paternoster-row; and may be had of mast Country
Booksellers and edichte Venders, is packets, at
