itEIOICINGS FOR PEACE.

On receiving intelligence at Leeds, on Sour.
(lay afternoon, of the Preliminaries of Peace being
egad, and on the receipt of the Gazette on Sun-
day, confirming the fame, the bells at the feveral
churches at that place were rung, and joy appear-
ed in every countenance, on reading the pleating
information.
There was a grand illumination at Halifax on
Monday evening ; and the greatell rejoicings in
every town of the Weft Riding, in confequence of
• the figning of the Preliminaries.
1,111011, OCT. Io.—We do not wonder-at the
enthutiaftic joy which peace has produced in all
parts of the country ; but in this neighbourhood,
where the deprethon of trade; and the high price
of the neceffaries of life had funk numbers of the
middle and lower claffes of the people into beggary
and wretchednefs, the news of peace was of comic
received with unbounded rapture, anti the general
joy was expreffed not only by ringing of bells,
firing, illuminations, &c. but every heart andcoun-
tenance teemed animated bp the delightful fenti-
mem; Peate; Trade, and Plenty, Was the ene-
ral and public expedation has not been difap-
pointed.—Cons fell, and Cloth advanced ; foi a
free commerce, which will reduce the price of the
one; Soft infallibly increafe the value of the other.
The fame hopes and immediate advantage's
have ?pread to every part of this manufaduring
county, as we have letters from Bradford, Halifax,
Wakefield, Huddersfield, Otley, &c. which all
agree in Rating, that the animation and joy pro-
duced in' thofe places by the return of peace, et.
teed all defcription.
BATH', OCT, te..—The general burß of joy
which pervaded our own country, as loon as the
news of a fuccefsful negotiation was made public,
has been flifficient to convince every one of the
univerfal with for the Weft-mg 'which the country
entertained. " Neal the fore: of the land, for ill
Jhaketh," had for years been the fecret afpiratibn
of every man, to whom the welfare of his min-
try, or the interests of humanity, were dear; and
the exptelfions of delight, tin the coalition of a
war that oppofed itfelf to both, have been propor-
tionately great. In this city, there manifellationl
difplayed themfelves lag night, in a manner more
fplendid than any former occafion had ever called '
but. Brilliant illuminations, Einblematical tran-
fparencies, and appropriate mottos, covered the
fronts of the houfes of our elegant city, and ter-
tified what the temper of the public mind had
long been here on the cpietticn of war or peace ;•
and which the neighbouring villages alto of Twer-
ton, Welton, Bathealton, &c. evinced they had
felt, by limiter exprethons-of joy.—The welt front
of the Rooms, an extent of an iso feet, was en
riched with variegated lamps ; and the pediment
over the principal entrance fitted with a tranfpa-
rent painting, reprefenting Britannia feated on a
tuck, holding a medallion of his Majelly, fur-
rounded with a wreath compofed of rofes, thirties,
and tharnrock ; the Britith Lion recumbent; ap-
propriate military trophies, with fliipping in the
back ground. Above were difplayed, in lamps,
the Royal initials, and Imperial Crown. On the
fides, two tranfparencies, one reprefenting Peace,
applying a torch to a collection of inflruments of
war placed on an altar ; the other, Plenty, emp-
tying her cornucopia into the lap of Commerce.
Flambeaux, with, branches of oak and laurel,
were continued along both the north and foulli
fronts.
Mr. Metter, Grove.—A figure of Britannia
holding z lion by a ribbon : on one fide a dove,
encircled with rays of glory, with this ItAnaa :

Mr. Wilmot's, I-ant-down-Grove—A tranfpa-
rency in three divifions; the upper part contained
on a fcroll, Tea Cafar .tae; the fecond divifion re-
prefented the Temple of Janus, with the gates
eloted, and the infcription, gamin nowt ;
in the loweft &Tifton was a female figure with a
blue mantle Ruddeel with ftars, to denote Aar°.
nomy, and accompanied with the different em-
blems of the Arts and Sciences; the infcription, Es
vestres revateroit Arta; the suotations intended as
complimentary to the Kin', as the author of the
bleftings of Peace, and the acknowledged protector
of the Arts. In one of the windows, commanding
a long gallery decorated with laurels, myrtles,
&c. and lighted up refieded in a large
- pier glafs at the end extending the aparent length,
appeared Rama Saturtti4 (-row; another window,
the lafs and wood-work ...itrecif were taken out,
difplayed the appearance of an olive, myrtle, and
laurel bower, with the figure of an Angel defeend-
ins with the glad tidings of Peace, bearing a fcroll
over his head with thele words, D.-at oadie hoe
Mita* felt, the whole ornamented with the tabor
and pipe, and other paftoral inftruments, with the
fork, rake, and crook, dccoratcd with garlauds

Mr. Whitchnrch, Ironnsonzer.—A neat tranf-
parency, divided into two conlpArtments, over the
centre of which appeared the Eye of PILOVIDIINCE.
In one was reprefented the fall of the God of War;
his car, with the wheels and 'reins broken, the
horfes running away, and the God himfelf (truck
by lightning, in the aft of fallirt. Underneath
the tiAlowing appropriate lines:

Commerce. On the right was Britannia, with a
wreath of laurel round he fpear, and other proper
iymbols, fated on a rock : the Union flag flying
from a flag-gaff over her head. On the left flood

COVENTRY, Ocr. Monday evening
we had a brilliant illumination all over Coventry,
ringing of bells, fheep-roalling, and bonfires, on
the happy return of the bleffing of Peace; but on
the arrival of the Ratification of the Prelimina-
ries, every heart teemed again to be overjoyed,
and wilhed to exprefs it in the moll public manner.
The Mayor, having had many priaing applica-
tions, called a general meeting this morning, to
confider of the molt proper mode; when it was
determined, that on the day of Thankfgiving there
fhould be a general proceffinn of the Corporation;
the Military Affociation; all die Companies, with
Itreamers flying; the Clubs, and the Town at
large, inviting the. friends of Peace, in the country
around, to come in and join them on fo happy an
occaflon, recommending to all to wear cockades,
as an encouragement to the ribbon trade. The
colours are to be (icy-blue and mazarine. The poor
ribbon-weavers have not been Co happy as they
appear to be thefe feven years pall. May Peace
long continue, and happinefs pervade the whole
country !

CHE3TRR, OCT. 111:-The Mayor Wiled orders
yefterday to all the Citizens to illuminate on ac-
count of the return of peace, but forbidding at
the fame time the ufe of all manner of fire-works.
Several of the houfes exhibited appropriate Iran
fparencies. The Exchange was particularly no-
ticeable. In the centre of three windows appear-
ed the full length figure of the King, fupported
by Britannia on the right, and on the left was a
figure, furrounded by the emblems of Peace, crown-
ing him with an olive wreath, and furmounted by
a fcroll, on which appeared the words " Long may
be reign.," In the left window was a figure of Lord
Nelfon, acid over his head Fame with her trum-
pet. On the right were the Prince and his horfe,
' taken front Gainfbormigh's pleture. The morning,.
which was uncommonly fine, was ulliered in by
ringing of bells, &c. About one o'clock, a troop
of General Valaticey's regiment of Dragoons, a
company of the Chefhire Militia, and two com-
panies of Invalids, formed on the Race Ground,
ind fired a fen de j-ie, which was anfwered from
the Caftle by a difcharge of twenty-one pieces of
artillery. The Volunteers did not affemble until
the evening, on account of the fair, which com-
menced here on Saturday, and will tali a fort-
night.—The whole was concluded In extreme good
order, and amidli many thoufands of fpedators.
Salt EWSIS UR Y, OCT. 14.—0 n Saturday laft there
were great rejoicings at Hatvkllone, the feat of
Sir RICHARD HILL, B.trt. M. P. for this county,
on account of the Ratification of the Preliminaries

and expreffed his vviihcs to fee them all the next
day, attending divine fervice, ha; morning and
afternoon, to teftify their gra:izaci:, and to return
thanks to GOD, for the doubt.: blefling of Peace
and Plenty with which a nev• c -.-tury had Lgun.
All the Ladiesand Centlemen thza proceeded to
the °flagon Tower on the T..vrr.ce, which was
illuminated for their rceep; ion : here they drank
tea, whilft a Band of Miific, with two French
horns, clarinets, &e. fliyeti fcveral loyal tunes,
among which God lave the Xmg and Rule Britannia,
had the pre-eminence.
Tea was juft finiflted, when the difcbarge of a
cannon announced that the Grand Obelifk, which
Rands near the VtrhiteTower on the very fummit of
the Terrace, was lighted up, and that the Fire-
works were going to be let off ; which was then
done, nein a tremendous roar of cannon, which,
from the advantageous fituation, amongft high
rocks and woods, echoed in a molt aftonifhing
autism from all quarters; but the principal tract:.

the violence of the wind, ,Which at fo great an
height extinguifhed the torches as fart as they wise
lighted, and tore the tranfparent materials to
pieces: this, however, did not prevent the general
effea from being truly fuperb.
Before nine o'clock the company and moll of the
fpeftators went down to the bottle, the whole song
front of which was brilliantly lighted up, and ex,
hibited a moil beautiful fpeaacle, which was
heightened by the illuminationi in the neighbour-
hood, among Si`r RICHARD'S tenants, particularly
in the Village of Welton, where Hawkftone Inn,

for in a manner that would have done honour to
a. regular corps. After the field ezercifes they

ed at various places ; in the evening the town was
fplendidly illuminated ; the guns from the different
veffels in the harbour were fired ; joy beamed in
every countenance, and the horrors of war were
bitriefl in oblivion, by the certainty of what will
heap bleffings on our country, and diffufe happi-
nefs to millions of individuals. This evening, if'

zers at the Berry Head Forts will be dircharged at

Britith thunder, hailed once more the return of
Peace to Albion's happy ihores.

DUNDFF, Ocr. 9.—The news of Peace ocea•
finned the greateft joy here. On Tuefday morn-

fplendid entertainment to the officers and a few of
the principal inhabitants, in Hunter's Tavern; and
the town was in every part moft brilliantly illu-
minated.

Dr. 1, Fot.t Ex, of Upper Brook-ftreet, London,
with the liberality and humanity which diflinguith
many others who have retired, after a life of ex.
tenfive praftice, has communicated to B. D. PER-
INS, of Leiceder-fquare, London, fome important
obfervations on, and experiments with, his Patent
Metallic Tractors; on the final merits of which he
thus concludes :
" 1 have aced the Traders its very numerous inftances with
great fuccefs, and have the firmeft confidence In their utility,
among fuch as have a pleafure in the poffeffion of the means of 1
relieving the fuffaings of their fellow-creatures"—After
tailing feveral cafes of Tooth-ach, (welled Faces, Sprain, and
itheumatifm, he recites the foftuvring decifive expert:tient
" A Lady, aced 60, whom the Tradors relieved of a Rhea- ,
matifm of tong Itanding in the Ihnulder, found a great warmth
during the application, and which was extraordinary, felt tbs.
burning fenfation continue for fever,' days. This Patient being
fa fuleeptible, I thought bcr a proper fuhjeft on•whom to try
the comparative merit of the TraCtors with other fubftances
and thereby akertain what concern the imagination had in the
cards. I accordingly drew the points of forts, wood, &c. twr
the part affeCted, ast had before ufei the *Fraattrti, but,from
neither was there produced the lead cifse. The Traelors,
however, on being applied a (mond time, immediately mess
fleeted the heat, and gave exactly the fume raid a at

This experiment was made sander cirsutullanets which ren-
dered it very &alive."

C 1111131• HOSPITAL.-011 Saturday fe'uniglit
an inquifition was held at the Royal Hofpital, '
Chelfea, before Gso. gODGSON, Efq. Coroner for
the County of Middletex, on 'view of the body of
William Lamb.
The Jury, after having received the ufual charge
from the Coroner, prceeeded to view the body uf
the deceafed, who appeared to have come violent- •
ly by his death ; a perfon of the name of James
Legge, was in cuflody, charged as the author of ft. •
The follinving evidence was produced to the Jury :
John Forger, a penfioner in Chelfea Hofpital,
laid, he had known the deceafed about (even years
previous to his death, and had alto known James
Legge for fometime ,
_• they were both Captains,
and petitioners in the Hofpital. They had had a
quarrel about two or three years ago, and were
going to fight with fwords : but were prevented by
Major Bulkeley, through whole interference their
difference was made up, and they continued ap- •
patently upon terms of friendfbip with regard to
each other. On the Friday morning, he heardthe
report of a pilled in the apartment occupied by
thedeceafed and James Lcggc ; in confequence of
which he went there, and found the deceafed lying
on his back, in his own room, dead, and bloody.
Legge was in the outer apartment, which divided
his from the deceafed's ; he faid, he had done it,
or to that effea. The witntfs afked hint, why he
had killed his companion ? he replied, he bad done
his duty, and was well pleated. A piftol (the fans*
i now produced to the Jury), with the flock broken,
was lying ott the cheft of drawers ; he took it, and
he alto feized the piflol in Legge's hand, who
wanted it back again ; the flint of the cock was
down, as if it had been fired ; he put the ramrod
into the barrel of the broken piftol, and holding
it downwards, a piece of paper dropped out, and
the leaden bullet; now produced ; but he did not
find any gunpowder in it, and was of opinion,
there was very little priming in the pan. • •
Charles Coates, fervant to General Dalrymple,
Lieutenant-Governor of Chclfea College, depofed,
that on the preceding morning, in conlequence of
hearing the fcreaming of women, he went into the
Ward Where the deceafed Lamb lived ; he found
the deceafed motionlefs on the floor, with only his
fhirt and undertwaiftcoat on, covered with blood,
but more particularly on his right breafl. Suppof-
ing the deceafed had laid violent hands on him,
fell, he dked the women why they had not pre-
vented it ? Legge came out of his bed-room, and
exclaimed, 4, I have done it !" adding, " that he
had given the deceafed a piftol to come out and
fight him like a man, but that lie threw it down,
and he had then fired at him." He returned to his
bed-room, and brought nut the patois, one of •
which appeared to Live been juft fired, and the
room (melt thong of gunpowder. A bullet dropt
from the barrel of the piflol with the broken flock,
which, as well as he recolleCteci, was on the half-
cock, and the pan was well primed with gunpow-
der. The deceafed was it that time quite dead.
Legge did not attempt to efcape, but faid he was
well fati-ified with what he had done. The wittlets
kn•w .sf no them *l. `"
one which Major Bulkcley had fettled about two
years ago.
Ann Lamb, the widow of the deceafed, raid.
fhe had retitled with her litifband in Cliclfes Hof- -
pital for the tail feven years ; there were four
(mall rooms allotted for four Captains in one a-
partment ; the deceafed oectipied one of them, and
Legge another : about feven o'clock the morning
before, fhe ftw Legge walking about in a rage.
and ding abufive laognagc to the deceafed, who
was iithed,but gut up toon afterwards. Legge preft-
ed through the door of their apartment, and then
riot to a ;drawer in his own, froni which he took
out two large herfe-piflols; the deceafed's bed-room
door was but a little way open, andLegge rullied in,
and thruft one of the piftols into his band; the de-
ceafed immediately exclaimed, " D—n me, what's
this for ?—what's the matter now ?"—and threw
it from him. At that mcment the bullet (now
produced) rolled upon the floor. The deceated was
(landing jolt by his own bed-room dodr, with no-
thing but his fhirt and under-waiftcoat on, which

' rib near the cartilage, palfed obliquely through
the right lung, and luperior rrra raa•.t through
left lung, through the fcventh rib on the lett tide,
