This being the clay fet apart by the Mayor for
eclebrAting the Ratification of the Preliminaries of
peace, the morning was ufltereci in by the ringing
of bells moll merrily ; tepeated firing of guns alfo

ferved to Annortnce the joyful occafion, and all
ranks of people noticed the anfpicious event by
wearing of laurel ; many of the houfes in the town
Were dreffed with the faire emblematical Repie-
tentative of Petite, and happinefs beamed in the
countenances of the inhabitants of every defcription.
At noon, the Windfor Loyal Infantry Airocia
tion, decorated wiih laurel, and their colours,

marched from their place of parade in the Cattle,
to the High-ftreet, where they fired three very ex.
cellent vollies, in commemoration of the happy re-
lioration of Peace.
A moft excellent 'dinner was fervea up in the
Town Hall, to near two hundred of the inhabi-
tants ; Mr. PAUL Pit "LYMAN, the Mayor, prefid-
ing, whole excellent conduit in the chair, merits
the warmed encomiums: by hi% example, the fpirit
of the meeting-was fupported with its melt zeft,
whilft the utmoft harmony and decorum continued
prevatent to a late hour. 'rhe company were much
enlivened by the band of the Stafford Militia, which
played the aloft popular airs for fome hours ; and
Loafs and loyal tongs went round the jovial board
without alloy.
The illuminations in tie evening were very his
44 even the pooreft inhabitant (portedhis
44 Farthing Rufhlight," as a teftimonial of his joy
tie houfes of the greater part of the principal in-
habitants, were taftefully lighted up with variegat.
ed lamps, in apprdptiate devices, and many good
tranfparencies *ere exhibited with pleating effeEt.
Fireworks, of various defcriptions, kept the popu-

lace in good humour during the evening, and the
• tA hole celebration &lilted with the higheft pleafure
and decorum.

The illuminations in the Metropolis laft night
were very partial, and mdftly confined to the Eaft
end of the town and the Coffee hoiafes.
A Glazier in Shoreditch was the firft who hitch.
ea M. ro's name into a rhyme; on his tranfpa-
rency Were there lines:-
- Let's drink their health, by way of motto;
Here's to Lord HAIVICiSII7XT and menace, OTTO!
At t approve the Peace in toto,
May he that breaks It ark, be that-0.4
The following melancholy circumftance occur
red on Saturday evening laft, during the public re-
joicings:a—as Mils &tract, of Newington Butts,
was (landing at the door of her mother's boufe, in
ionverfation with a Gentleman who pays his re-
fpeds to her, a Rani of lightning fuddenly came,
and difcharged a piftol he held in his hand into the
(ace and eyes of the young Lady, who, we are
forry to fay, is dreadfully'disfigured by the acci-
dent, and great apprehenfions are entertained for
the recovery of her fight.
On the late illumination in Dublin feveral ugly
accidents occurred in confequence of playing off
fquibs, crackers, Ate.—:and among the many, we
are concerned to Rate that Mr. Turner, agent for
uaifports, was thrown from his hotfe, and his
EL is now defpaired of ; a fquib was thrown into
a coach full of ladies, and it was only by great ex-
ertions, and more collated condud than is ufual
on fuch occafons, that Come, if not all of them,
were preferred From being burned to death ; a
young man, in Dame-greet, had a fquib or cracker
thrown into his coat pocket, which fet it on fire,
and the flames communicated fo rapidly to the
ref of his clothes, that they were obliged to be
torn, and cut piecemeal from his body, and tho'
his life was thus preferred, it Was not poflible to
prevent his being very much (combed ; a gentle•
man's (errant was thrown from his boric in Graf-
ton greet, and had a leg broken.
Monday laft was the time appointed by the
Mayor of Yarmouth for a general illumination,
which at the beginning was attended with no dif•
turbancc till about half pall eight o'clock, when
the mob began to (hew a difpofition for mifchlef
and rioting, by breaking the windows of fuch
houfes as were not illuminated. They began with
the houfe of Mr. Jofeph Hunton, linen-draper,
whole windon s they completely demoliftied ; from
thence to Mr. James Rurubelow's, corn-chandler,
'here they broke the windows, frames, and (flut-
ters, and left the hook in a moll (battered (late ;
and then proceeded to Mr. W. Sewell's, Mr. Jo-
kph Ainge's, and molt of the Quakers, where
they broke the windows before any conflable or
peace-officer appeared; and at one time it was
thought that the tumult would not be eafily quell-
ed. But after the Mayor, Deputy-Mayor, and
many more of the gentlemen of the town, affern-
bled in a body, the mob difperfed ; fix or fevers
of the molt ;alive were taken into cultody for the
niht, and next morning were feparatrly
exa-
mined ; when fume were committed to Bridewell,
and the others bound over to the Seffions.

As dire lvvastom, with her innumerable dread
concomitants, may hereafter menace a defccnt
upon our coafis, every Loyal heart mull feel a
7,r tteful impreflion on being informed of ANY in-
whieh may greatly tend to fruftrAte the
machinations of a lubtile enemy. We have the
pleafure to apprife our Readers, that fveh an inven-
tion has recently been deviled ; which is likely to
be of the higheft utility to the army and navy, at
this, and every criticaliunflure.—For particulars,
