Accounts from the DORIS, of 36 guns, Captain
HALLIDAY, dated about three weeks !ince, off the
coaft of Spain, Rate the melancholy lofs of that
(hip's cutter, with Lieutenant Ross and (even fea-
men, by her upfetting in afguall .of wind. Lieut.
Ross had been in a Spanifh port, near Corunna,
with a flag of truce, and was returning to the (hip
when the accident happened.
The following veffels have put into Ramfgate ;

A gentleman who has long pradifed the Vaccine
Inoculation with uninterrupted fuccefs, having
heard of the rniflakes of others, cannot refrain
from thus publicly mentioning what he is certain
has been their chief fource. Placing an implicit
confidence in the rules laid down by Dr. JINNER,
he has never taken the virus from the vaccine
pithily after the Bth or 9th day, reckoning from
the time of inoculation ; or at leaf' after the efflo-
refcence furrounding the puflule has been com-
pletely formed, however inviting for the purpofc
the puftule might at that time appear. By ad-
hering rigidly to this precept, the inoculation has
fucceeded admirably. No ill fymptom has been
excited ; and fo perfeElly fecure from the Small-
pox have his patients been after it, that neither in-
oculation with variolous matter, nor repeated ex-
peffure to thofe who have laboured under the dif-
cafe in its molt infectious (late, has produced any
ea& ; not even putting the vaccinated children to
bed with others covered with it.
While our neighbours, on the Continent, fo in-
dulltionfly avail themfelves of the means of eradi-
cating the Smallpox from their territories, he can-
not but lament our comparative tardinefs in adopt-
ing the fame mealures here.—Were the Vaccine
In itimi but general, we thould foon be con-
i:iced that the Smallpox would be known by
1 name only ; and every nation on earth would have
I caufe to rejoice at this happy dilcovery.

At Mark-Lane this morning, the market was
very dull, and with little variation in the prices of
Monday laft.
Amax or Brien.—Yefterday the Mailer and
Wardens of the Company of Bakers waited on the
Right Honourable the LORD MAYOR, at the Man-
fion Houfe, to fet the Mize of Bread ; and it ap-
pearing, upon a arid examination of the returns
of the two Mealweighers, that between the sth and
toth init. 11,975 quarters of Wheat fold at the
Corn Exchange, and between the loth and 16th
init. 15,262 tacks of flour, fold at the fame place,
forming averages upon the whole quantities of
645. mid. per quarter Wheat, and 635. Bd. per
fact- Flour, which being 9s. 9ld. cheaper is the
Park of flour, his Loralhip had the fatisfaetory
pleafure of ordering. the Bread to be lowered three
affizes, or fixpence in the peck-loaf—to take place
tomorrow. The quartern-loaf will then be fold
for eleven•pence halfpenny wheaten and ten-pence
houfehold.

We learn that when his LcrJfhip faw the Re-
turns, he expreired great difapprobation at them,
as he conceived fome unfair means had been em-
ployed to create afalfe or nominal encreafe average
price. Two quartern loaves were produced be-
fore his Lorcithip, one of which came from New-
berg, and the other from Oxford, of the fineft white
Sour, which colt but Bd. the loaf. His Lordflip
was of opinion (as we believe every other perfon
mull be) that there is a fcandalous combination
fomewhere, to keep up the price of flour beyond
its fair value and proportion.
Wheat on Friday, in Dublin, was from 3os. to
405. the barrel, middle price 355. tod. ; oats from
its. 6d. to 16s. 6d. the barrel, middle price 13s.
6d. ; oatmeal •from Its. to 16s. the cwt. middle
price 12s. Bd. ; barley, from 1 ts. 6d. to 245. middle
price 19s. rod.; flour from 265. to 365. the cwt. ;
wheat and flour colleftively 475. the barrel, confc-
quently the twelvepenny leaf is two ounces heavier
for the next week—fales 6466—receipts 8562. ,

Citizen MALOUFT, the much celebrated oratrr
of the National Airembly, and the Ready friend of
his ill-fated Sovereign, is allowed by the FIRST
CONSUL to return to France ; and it is thought
that Bosermura, in his magnanimity, will grant
him a decent provifion for life.

Mr. Coons, in Richard the Third, has availed
himfelf of a hint given him in this Paper loon after
his fiat appearance lait feafon, in making an ad-
dition to the chefs of the character which the text
requires, but which has hitherto been omitted.
Richard (peaks of &riling on his armour, but has
never appeared in armour. Coons, after the tent
fcene, appears with a breaft plate and gauntlets,
which confiderably improves his martial afpeet.
One of his fpurs caught in the trappings of the
tent, on Monday night, and threw him down, but
the fall was of no confequence.

One of the principal Defaulter: at the Stock Ex-
change went through his firft examination yeller-
day. There appeared gg,oool. to pay, and only
30001. on the contrary fide. The Committee were
much difpleafed—a propofition was made to make
up the difference equal to gs. in the pound, which
was not accepted, as the Broker refufed either to
give up his principals or books.

The Clerk of a parifh in Scotland, being crm-
plained of to the Minifter, for being very free in
giving people the lie, he was fent for, and reproved
for it.—" Maifter," fays Jamie Wallace, " what
maun I do, when fowk lee ?" " Why," rays the
Minifter, "it would be mair difcreet, for inflance,
to whujile." Jamie remembered this, and a few
Sundays after, the Minifler, in his difcourfe, made
ufe of this expreffion—" And the LORD formed
man o'the clay of the yerth, and fet him on a dyke
to dry." Jamie, who was fitting in his box below,
on hearing this gave a loud whiffle. " Wha's that
that whullles ?" called out the Minifler. "Maif-
ter," replied Jamie, turning up his eye, " WHA
MAD{ THE DIKE ?"

ALARM OF MURDLR.—A fingular eircumflance
occurred in St. James's Park yetterday, which at-
traCled the notice of a great concourfe of people
in the courfe of the day : About feven o'clock in
the morning, one of the feats in the Park, oppofite
the gates of the Palace, was difcovered almoft co.
vered with blood, which gave rife to the fuppofition
that fome perfon had been inhumanly murdered
during the preceding night. This put the whole
neighbourhood in motion, and after a number of
perfons were colleted together, it was determined
that a Surgeon ofhould be fent for to examine the
blood, who came, and without much hefitation,
pronounced it to be human. All eyes were then
dire ted to the Canal, into which it was not doubt-
ed that the murdered body had been thrown ; but
what moll contributed to that belief, was a little
white dog, which was found fitting by the water-
fide, as it bemoaning his loft mailer.

After fume trouble, permiffion was obtained to
have the Canal dragged, and fo ferious became the
enquiry, that feveral of the fentinels who had been
on duty in the night, were put under arrelk, in or-
der to be examined touching this affair ; when a
young fhopman came among the reit to view what
was palling, and learning the caufe of all this
buftle, foot' put an end to any further proceedings,
by Rating that on the evening b:fore as he ss as
palling that way, he ftw a butcher's man fet his
balltet on the feat to reR himfell, which contained
Iheeps' heads and plucks, and that it overfet and
befmeared the place with blood, in the manner it
then appeared.
The moil important point being now cleared
up, the next tun was to conlider what could
have induced the little dog to have (luck In dole
to the Canal'all the day; when it appeared that
different people had given the little grateful
animal (as it was called) a great plenty of provi-
lions, which was procured for him under the idea
that he had talled all night, as well as mourned.
It was no wonder therefore that the dog fhould
continue to Ray where he was fo well treated.
The dole of the evening difperfed the crowd, and
I with it won Pompey.

COS FIN Zrzatmes.—On Sunday morning, about
fir o'clock, two men, paging by the Church-
yard wall of St. Paul's, Deptford, difenvered a
young man in the aft, as they fuppofed, of remov-
ing come articles from the Church porch ; they
got in, and found part of a leaden coffin upon him,
rolled up : this aroufed their indignation, and they
immediately took him into cuftody, with a view
to deliver him to the Conftable of the Para. On
their way thither an accomplice come up, pit, as
he Paid, to afk what was the matter: fufpicions
arofe from his converfation, and he was alfo fe-
cured, and put into the cage.
Immediately after their apprehenfion an exami-
nation was let on foot in the Church-yard, when
it appeared that burrows had been made large
enough for one perfon at a time to get into the
vaults under the Church, and from which they
had entered into eight different family vaults, be-
fides the main vault, and taken away the lead and
furniture from eighteen coffins, many of which had.
been depofited there for a great number of years,
one as long fince as 1698, and others from 3o to
5o years back. The remains of the bodies were
mangled and fcattered about by thole inhuman
wretches in a manner too (hocking for us to wound
the feelings of our readers with a recital of. Se-
veral of the relatives of the deceafed were prefent
at the fearch, whole feelings may be eater con-
ceived than defcribcd. There fecms to have been
a number of young lads concerned—tome fay 2o
—chiefly fhipwrights apprentices, none of them
more than 20 years old, and led on by the Sexton,
Giles Martin, and a notorious receiver of flolen
goods in the neighbourhood, to whom they fold
the lead and furniture for twenty fhillings per
hundred weight.
Yeflerday the two young lads in cuftody, A'icolls
aged 18, and Gilt: Martin, the Deputy Sexton, aged
23, were brought before JOSIAH DANFORD and
PHILIP GOODHEW, FAITS. the two Sitting Magill
trates, at Greenwich, for examination. The men
who detected them in the Churchyard were firft
heard, and gave a very circumftantial account of
the fufpicions excited by the Prifoncrs' appearance,
and their confequent apprehenfion, as well as pro-
ducing the lead taken upon him, which, on-being
opened, proved to be part of a coffin of a (mall
fize. Several perfons appeared, and proved the
interment of bodies in the vaults, the locking them
up, and their having been removed by means to
them unknown, except by the holes made under
the Church, apparently for that purpofe ; that the
bones, &c. were ilrewed about in a very look way;
and that in two or three intlances it feemed that
the coffins had been cawed in two, as the col ref-
ponding parts of the bodies were found in oppofite
direlions, particularly that of a female child lately
depofited there.
On this Rage of the bufinefs one of the P, ifo-
acts requefted-to fpcak to the Officers, when, we
underftand, he acknowledged the fart; that he had
been feduced to it by a receiver he named, who
bought between three and four ton of lead, the
produce of 42 coßin,, at 205. per hundred, of them.
lie alfo named form: accomplices, on condition of
being admitted evidence, wh;cll wr.s granted.
Warrants were fent after them, and the parties te-
manded for a further hearing.

The indignation of the populace was fir great,
that the Officers could fcarcely keep them from
being laid violent hands on.

The inhabitants of Swanfea being in full ex-
'relation that the Ratification of the Preliminaries
of Peace would arrive on hfoodayfetenight,awaited
the taming in of-the Mail, and the moment it ap-
peared, decorated with ribbons and emblems of
Peace, an univerfal fhout of joy was heard, and
the populace unhitching the horfes, drew the coach
through all the fireets in town, and br ten o'clock,
not a man, woman, or child, was to ix feen with-
out a blue ribbon, and otheremblems.—The Swan-
fea Volunteer Band affembled in the Market-place,
played ,‘ GOD fave the King," and feveral other
loyal tunes. The (hipping clifplayed their colours,
and the Port fired a royal falute.—At night a ge-
neral illumination took place, and the furrouncb
ins hills vied with each other in bonfires.
The Salop Mail, carrying the intelligence of the
Zatification of the Preliminaries, was met near
Ninon by a party of colliers, &c. who took off the
horfes from the coach, and drew it through that
placeto Wolverhampton; from whence, it was taken
by the populace of that town fome diftance beyond
it. Wolverhampton was on Monday fe'nnight
grandly illuminated, and in every rape& the inha-
bitants evinced the greateft demonftrations of joy.
The gratifying and important intelligence was
received at Bridgneorth with the loudeft acclama-
tions of joy from all ranks of people.

Tuefday fe'rukht a general illumination took

made, and every iymptom of joy expreffed by all
ranks.

In the town and neighbourhood of Alecller, in
Wary.ickfhire, the news of Peace was received
with rowfl unfeigned and lively fentiments of joy.
The bells rang on feveral fucceflive days, a flag
was hoilled on the Tower of the church, the
houfes were illuminated on Monday night ; and
the peafantry not only (hared in the general exul-
tation, but endeavoured to exprefs their hone(
and happy feelings, by blue cockades, on many
of which the aufpicious word Peace was infcribcd
in charaElers of gold.

At Coughton Court, the feat of Sir JOHN
Tatocamoaros, the church bells were rung in-
cetrantly for three or four days ; and on Tuefulay
night the Manton was illuminated with great
fplendour. The lofty and fuperh Gothic Tower,
erected in the reign of Henry VIII. was decorated
with various rows of lights, and crowned with
torches, the blaze of which formed a molt magni-
ficent fpeftacle, and was teen to a very confider.
able diftance. The crowd from all the neighbour.
ing villages was immenfe ; a band of mufic at-
tended ; the molt- hofpitable entertainment was
given to numbers within the houfe ; and the mul-
titude who thronged in the front of it, were richly
regaled with ale. The fame animated fenfatio,s
of gladnefs on the approach of National Peace,
and gratitude to the hofpitality of 'the worthy and
refpeflable Baronet, pervaded all ranks, and at a
late hour they departed to their refpeflive homes.
POOLE, Ocr. 18.—We have been exceedingly
joyous and gay here ever fince the news reached
us of the Preliminaries of Peace being figned, and
nothing can exceed the pleafure that Icons to beam
forth in every countenance on this happy occafion.
We had a fecond Illumination on Tuelday night,
which was remarkable for its fplendour ; much
tafte and defign were difplayed in a great variety
of beautiful t.anfparencies, and the fentiments dif-
clofid were exprcflive of the utmoll loyalty and :,f-
-feelion to our King and Country, and in the moil
happy manner. A great number of flrangers
flocked in Born all parts rf the country round to
enjoy the fight, and it was altonifhing to fee how
every ftreet in the town was crowded ; ticretthe-
lefs, when we take into account the quantity of ex-
hilirating liquor that flowed, at the Onflance of
many a generous fpirit, on this occafion, it is not
a little remarkable that every thing palled off with
the greateft decorum ; all WAS ;:airmony, and lot
the bark impleatant eircumitance occurred to in-
terrupt the happiitels of the evening.

There arc many rcfpc[riihle families in town,
of the people called Quakers, and it having been
Made known that on acconn: ,if thLir religious
binstctbey could 11Qtcun:i0.cntly join the inhabitAuts

quietly permitted to enjoy themktves in their
own way : not the flighted infult was offered to
tither of the many that were ken parading the
flreets, nor did their habitations receive the leaft
ani.oyancc. We have thought proper to mention
this cireumflance, as we conceive it (peaks highly
to the credit of the populace, and evinced their
peaceable difpofition, as well as their due regard
to a propriety of condndt amiclft fuch a fcene.
We have had two public dinners, and a fplendid
Ball at the Town Hall. At the dinner each day,
so perfons fat down to table, and all was mirth
and good humour. At the Ball upwards of 200
perfons were prefent, amongfi whom were many
of both fetes of the firft rank and fafhion in the
neighbourhood, and all retired highly pleafed and
gratified with the amufement and entertainment
of the evening.
LANCASTER, OCT. 14.—0 n Monday laft, the
Mail brought an account of the Ratification of the
Pteliminaries of Peace ; in confequence of which
the bells rung all the afternoon ; in the evening
the town was generally illuminated, and leveral
tranfparent devices, expredive of the happy event,
exhibited. The Loyal Lancafter Volunteers fixed
a royal Mute from the Artillery, and fevcral vol-
lies and feu de joyes, by the Infantry in different,
parts of the town.
EDINBURGH, OCTOBER 15.-011 the arrival of
the poll on Tuefday morning with the Gazette
Exrtaordinary, the people took the honks out of
the mail coach, and having hoifted the Brita co-
lours, and mounted a miller on the box, as an
emblem of Plenty, they dragged it with repeated
fhouts, down to the LORD PROVOST'S villa of
Comely Bank, and afterwards for fevcral hours
through the principal ftreets of the city, although
it rained inceffantly the whole time.
In the forenoon, the following Proclamation was
iffued by the Right Hon. the LORD Peovostr and
Magiftrates—
Seeing it Ins pleaded the Missouri' to bids us again with
the protpeEt , of Peace over all the earth, and being anxious to
give full ilsope to the general joy of the inhabitants, fos.videndy
codpicuous, the Lord Provott and hiagißrates do dirra, That
a General Illumination take place in the windows of the inha-
timing throughout the City and Suburbs, commends% at Seven,
and continuing till Ten o'clock In the evening.
They, at the Came time, moil Redly enjoin peace and good
order, and prohibit the breaking of windows, or any irregular
behaviour, which may di curb the inhabitants, or dirqufct the
peace of the City ; and orders have been iffued to the Conitables,
Peace Officers, and others, to apprehend and commit to prifon
all thofe who (hall be found offending. But while this pra.oi-
thin is taken, it is not expedred that any one will tarniih the
happinefs of the day, by a conduit unworthy of himfelf.
At xa o'clock, the Brigade of Volunteers pa-
raded in the Meadows, and marched by their right
to Prince's-ftreet, where they formed line facing
the Cattle. The Royal Edinburgh and Mid-Lo•
thian artillery, with their field pieces, being preri-
oufly drawn up on the Caftlehill, facing the north.
At one o'clock the Royal Standard was Killed
on the Cattle; and the Well York militia manned
the whole works round and round.

The great guns of the Cattle then fired a ro-a?
falute. After which the Welt York fired a teu-df-
joy from right to left along the walls: General
Vvsit and his like then appeared on the north eafl
baftion—when the field pieces fired one round on
the Caftlehill.—lmmediately after this the line of
volunteers in Prince's-greet fir:d a fro-de-jeye from
right to left of the whole line.
Thefe firings were repeated three times by the
Militia, Artillery, and Volunteers ; after which
the whole troops, joined by the inunenfe crowd of
fpeetators, gave three cheers.
It is impoflible for words to convey an idea of;
the wonderfully fublime effect of the firings. The
rolling fire of the feu de Aye, reverberating from
the many points of the rock of the Caftle and Old
Town, and on the other fide friam Prince's-fireet,
furpaffed the grandeur of the loudeit thunder, and
the multitudes which covered the banks of the
Caftle.hill and furrounding grounds rendered the
fcene truly interefting and auguit. '
When the ceremony was over, the brigade of
Volunteers marched to their refpepive regimental
parades, where the Circular Letter of Lord Ho-
BAR'S (infertecrin our Paper of Friday laft) was
read by the Commanding Officers.
After reading this order to the Fira Regiment,
or Blues, Lieutenant-Colonel Hoyt addreffed the
