BRI C TON, OCT. 14.-....0a Monday the joyful

ed the commencement of the fire-work.—At the
eonclufion of the tire-work, (which was announc-
ed by the airplay of a tranfparency, accompanied
by the hand in a felts& and appropriate piece of
facred mink), the bugle horn founded the fecond
time ; at which fignal, the inhabitants immediately
difplayed their lights.—At nine o'clock, the tall
fignal gun was fired, for lighting bonfires and dif-
playing common fire-works.
STIR,I OCT. I s.—Yefterday evening, at fever
o'clock, uearly all the military corps in this dif-
t:iß were a irembh.d on their different parades, to
fire a triple fitc-doh,e, in celebration of the Peace

Prance. Orders to this offal were iffued by Lieu-
t.nant General Staten r, and patties were rationed

Exeter City Troop of Volunteer Cavalry, the Royal
Carmarthen Militia, the Exeter Volunteer Regi-
ment of etght companies, the third corps of Exe-
ter Vnion;Ltr::, and the Exeter Volunteer Afro-

of the efreet, prittlocea by the quick fire from :l e
entifketry r:mning thruarlh the rae:ks ; v hit tie

the reF.irn•nt., Ittil.i.ig up tho:c his.cat ite
inlets, gave the whole a gand 111:;: i y

ante, truly navel and pleafing.—The fignal for

which were placed on Haldown-hill, about five
miles from Exeter, from whom alio it was receiv-
ed by the Kenton and Powderham Corps, as well

whole fires could be diitinCtly Peen from the houfes
on Southernhay Place.
LIVERPOOL, Ocr. rg.—ln confequence of the
Ratification of Peace, Tuefday was appointed for'
the celebration : The (hips in the docks and river,
public buildings, and many private perfons, dif-
played colours ; at one o'clock, his Majefly's (hip

artillery, fired vollies in Great George-kreet, and

due to the Magiftrates for the precautions they
publifhcd, to preferve the fafety and quiet of the

BOXTON, OCT. 13.—Perhaps in no place in the
Britifh Empire have the expreffions of joy, upon a
fmall fcale, been more apparent than at Buxton.
At dawn of day the drum beat, the town's peo-
ple affembled, and with a good band of mutie
paraded the greets : cockades in every hat, joy in
every countenance ! Every one Teemed emulous,
to excel in liberal demonftrations of that heart-felt
fatisfaetion which was common to all. Copious
libations were poured out to Peace and Plenty !
Loyal, patriotic, and conflitutional toafts were
drank ; and the whole cavalcade teemed infpired
with gladnefs and harmony. In the evening there
was a general and very elegant illumination, the
beauty of‘vhiell was greatly :drilled by the finenefs
of the evening. There was a hall in the evening
at,the Great Hotel, where alma all the faffiion-
ables of the place attended: and the day concluded
with the utmoß hilarity and joy.
NORWICH, OCT. t4.—On the lag mail, via rpf-
wich, coming into town, perfons with flags, &c.
infifted on mounting the coach, which the coach-
man, from a knowledge of the fpit it of the horfes,
remonftrated againft,lut in vain, and it was al-
molt miraculous that the cataßropht was not
dreadful : On the firing of piflols, and the fhout-
mg of the people,- the honks became maddened ;
and the coachman lofing his command of them,
they went full (peed down the market-place ; the
only chance he now had of preferving the lives of
the paffengcrs, &c. was to keep the horfes from
going into the inn-yard, which they attempted,
and which he with great difficulty and exertion
prevented. In this ltruggle between them, the
horfes got upon the pavement, and fell ; the car-
riage fuddenly lofing that motion which impelled
it forward, was thrown off its centre, and fell up-
on its flat fide, throwing the perfons upon it to
fome diflance,,with confiderable force; the coach-
man, the guard, and every one was more or lets
bruifed, but no bone& were broken, and it is hoped
no one materially hurt The firft fenfations felt
by this alarming accident were painful in the ex-
treme, loud Ihrieks were heard from various parts
of the market-place, and two or three ladies abfo-
lutely fainted away ; but the feelings of the mul-
titude were again roofed into fhouts of joy when
they found that no material injury had been fuf-
tained.

Dustin, Ocr. is.—The Mail that brought the
Ratification of the Preliminaries of Peace, on
Tuefday, arrived by the way of Skerrits.
It was not without juft apprehenfion of their
confequences, that we reprobated the dangerous
practice of throwing fquibs, &c. on occalions of
public rejoicing. We are concerned, however, to
fay, that neither the meafures taken by the LORD
MAYOR and Superintendant Magiftrate to keep
within fait and proper limits the demonftrations of
public joy on the bided event of Peace, nor the
very laudable and hazardous exertions of our
High Sheriffs, proved effeetual.
A patrole of the watch having taken into cuf-
tody fome perfons who were throwing fquibs and
firing piflols, &c. they were attacked by a mob,
principally confilling of 'prentice boys and inconli-
derate youths of that defcription, who, having
unfortunately and accidentally been fopplied with
mifliles in the (tones collefted for paving the flreet,
obliged the watch to retire to St. Andrew's watch-
houfe,
after feverely wounding fevoral of th,:m.
The exertions of our Sheriffs expofed them to
the moll imminent danger. Sheriff Craven, it is
laid, was knocked down three times, and it is cer-
tain that he received a fevere wound in the hand,
which it is thought was inffieled by a paol flint.
The rioters for a confiderable time attacked St.
Andrew's watch-houfe with (tones, and if it had
not been very well defended by iron plates, &c.
upon the doors, it mutt have been totally demo-
Wiled. Above fony of the perfons caught throw-
ing (tones and rioting, were yefterday brought be-
fore Mr. Alderman Rose, who, it may 'be con-
ceived, had moll troublefome anti difficult bufinefs.
Some were.difchaiged, againtt whom there were
not fufficient proof, and examinations were hedged
againft feveral.

EXTRACT OF • LETTER.—Yeflerday a letter
came to hand of a very extraordinary nature, lay-
ing, Mr. Roartr Nowt:lac, of the Etfl-India
tea ware houfe, Fenchurch-firect, carliz cold fix
years ago, which brought iin a long train of com-
plaints, fuch as heavy night fweats, frightful
dreams, Palpitation at the Heart, fixed pain in
his fide, a windy complaint in his flomach, and
decreafe of memory, with fits of Meeting, trem-
bling, and twitching of the Eye-lids, as if fpaz ks
of fire flew out of them; Mr. B. thinks he is
bound in duty both to GOD and Man, to inform
the Public, that by recommendation of Mr. Bcts-
si at: If AM, Permit Office, Fenchtirch. ect, he took
Dr. Gat ut: ER'S Pills, and applied his Plaltcr nine
weeks, he is now happily cured of all tivt
maladies! This, like all other cafes publi:hed by
J. GAlttfli FR, ought to be enquired in'o.
