Temples in general go off at a fmall reduction, and
few fates are effeded, it being fo uncertain what the

this trade is rather brifk, and is. per quarter dearer—
Grey Peas the fame ; there are very few Oats, here,
but expeding larger fupplies, caufes little Sale at

A melancholy accident happened on Tuefday
night, near St. Nicholas's Ifland, near Plymouth :
Mr. Jonas, Tide Surveyor of Excife, and four of
his boatmen, who left Stonehoule late in the even-

ing, on the look-out for [wigglers, by tome unfor-
tunate accident (truck on a rock in going over the
Bridge near Mount Edgeombe, and the boat being of
a very fliglit contlruaton, it ;pliantly went through
her bottom, and the parted in the middle. Mr.
Jon's, who was a corpulent man, and unable to
fwim, was very loon drowned, and the boat's crew
were picked up by a boat belonging to a frigate in
the Sound, but one of them loon after died ; the
reit, though much broiled, are in a fair way of re
covery.

A paper of yetterday contains the following arti-
cle-14 Accounts from Ruffle Mate, that the intelli-
pace of the capture of the Spanilh treafure frigates
excited emotion at St. Peterfburgh, when it was Sill
kdown is that Capital, not very favourable to the
inure& of Great Britain. Fortunately, however,
our Anibal:Woes Courier was accompanied by ano-
ther from the Ruffian Ambaltador in this country,
and their difpatches cleared away all doubts as to'
the propriety of a meafure, which though appa-
rently violent, was juttified, and even commanded,
by the laws of ft-If-defence. Six days after the ar-

rival of the Lt;glifh and Ruffian Couriers, the
Spanifit Ambaffador received difpatches from his
Court, and had in confequence feveral conferences
with the Ruffian Minifler of State, Prince CZARTO-
at tux' ; and according to report, King of Spain
demanded, wi:Bout the (egad of Frames, the mediation
of the Ruffian Emperor to fettle his differences with
England ; but the application was unfuccefiful. As
this refufal could not polLbly be known at Madrid
un the 12th of December, the precipitate and impo-
litic declaration of war on that day, is another proof
of the tyranny which BONN/ANTI exercifes over the
Councils of Spain, and a complete jullification of the
orders iffued by our Minifters, if any juttification were
neceliary after fo long and generous a forbearance on
their ',att, and after Co many repeated provocations
on the part of Spain."
DITCH LIT House, Ozon.—Lord and Lady
DiL-
Loa, have, as ufual, at this teafun of the years kept
open honfe at their very princely manGon in Oxford-
(hire, where they have daily entertained very large
parties of their fafbionable friends. Dinners, balls,
concerts, and (uppers, have been given in confiant
fucceflion ; but the entertainments on Twelfth Night
ecelled the whole. On that evening, all the neigh.
bouring Nobility and Gentry were invited, exclufive
of a very large party of friends, who went down
from London. exprefsly for the purpofe.
The evening's amnfernent commenced with a ball,
the preparations for which were in the molt magnifi-
cent Ityle poffible. The fuperb grand &loon, or
hall, which has been recently built and finifhed in all
the (plendour of modern cane, was on the above
evening brilliantly illuminated by a very elegant
chandelier, which flied its lucre into the very inte-
rior of the manfion : thus direr ting the fuotfieps of
the company to the ball room, which was fill more
beautiful from the number of lights fufpended at
equi-diftances from the cieling of that fpacious apart-
ment.
About eight o'clock the dancing commenced, the
ball being opened by the Hon. Mr. DILLON and
Lady F. Srtacea. About fifteen couple followed.
After dancing without a moment's ceffation until
twelve o'clock, (upper was announced, which was
let out on three long tables in the dining room and
library. in a flyle of unufnal talk. Covers were laid
fur one hundred and twenty perfoas. The (upper
confined of every elegant eatable, and the choicea
wines. Frame work was introduced, particularly in
the dtffert, which appeared in all the various forms
which the ingenuity of a firft rate conleaioner could
difplay. A capital twelfth cake was placed in the
centre of the board, highly decorated with naval and
military trophies, &c.
Dancing re-commenced foon after one o'clock, and
continued with reels, &c. about three in the mut-
ning. The Ducbefs of MaaLaoaouou, and the Earl
of Sualwsioar were of the party.
