of King CuMILES towards his ciltleen CATIMRINZ of
Portugal, accused by the iutiotiouitTrrus OA*E,SO£ a
conspiracy against hts Goieldttienk! The passage of
History alluded to, wonU have. borne still more (or-

Tuotasou's speech, but in the repot' of it.

out any attempt to fix the imputation. But he de-
clared ,that he did not so much ea. suspect her. The
passage, as we find it in the History of England by
Mr. Hume (who quotes his authority), chap. lxvii.
is this—" The King, it is well known, bore no great
affection .0 his consort ; and now more than ever,
when his Bred* and Heir was so much hated, had
reason to be tits``sous of issue, which might ciuitet the
jealous leer! iftis people".
This very hatred which prevailed against the Duke,
would much facilitate, he knew, any expedient that
could be devised for the exclusion of that prince ;
and nothing further seemed requisite for the King
th.:n to give way in this particular to the rage and
•
fury of the nation. ,
But CHARI.E; notwithstanding all allurements of
pleasure, or interest, or sifery," had the generosity to-
protect his injured consort. 11. They think," said he,

immediately ordered OATES to be strictly cougned,
seized his papers, and dismissed his servants ; 'and
this daring informer was obliged to make ippliCations
to Parliament; in order to recover his liberty. •

HORNSBY and Co. Stock Brokers, respectfully ac,
quaint their Friends and the 'Public, that the State
Lottery begins drawing on the 6th of next month.—
he Scheme contains more Prizes than Blanks, in-
cluding 3 of £20,000, 3of .81 0,000, &c. Tickets and
Shares are selling at the lowest prices, and in great
variety of Numbers, at.the old established State Lot-
tery Office of HORNSBY and Co. 26, Cornhill, where
the first two Prizes of £30,000 were sold.
It is not surprizing that the Lords of the Treasury
should publish in the Gazette, their s, hrariy commen-
dation" of the present State Lottery SOleme, when
it is considered that most Schemes hitherto have con-
tained three or four Blanks to a Prize, while the pre-
sent possesses more Prizes than Blanks, and is so
arranged that every Ticket drawn on the 6th of May
will be a Prize.

The following Letter addressed to Dr. Tuotorrow
during his application to Parliament for his Lottery,
by F. A. BARNARD, Esq. Librarian to the King, will
shew the estimation in which his works were •held
Sir, I very readily comply with your request, to
certTy that his Majesty's Library, and also that of
her Majesty, the Queen, have bceu enriched with pm
elegant Went, and I heartily wish you may succeed in
your endeavours (now before Parliament) to recover
some part of the expense you kive so /4frally incur-
red, in bringing it to its. present degre• of. lyric-aim
I am', Sir, your. mast obedient, humble Servant, Faro.'

Priddy. se'nnight• the prisoners wee detected in an,
attempf to' prepare for their escapefrorn the depot,
Perth, by means of an excavation. • A mine of three
feet square had been carried from tire' necessary of
the prison, No. 3, to such a distance under the walls
(its length being +2 feet), that the, work of an hour
or two would have.been sufficient for its completion.
It was intended to hive' opened clote to the base of
the outer wall, bounding the military way, and along
which the fugitives might have Slitikof Out unob
served by the sentries.' -

In consequence of the frequent failures of the ope-
ration of extracting the Cataract on the blind men of
Greenwich Hospital, the Honourable Board of Go-
vernors of that Establishment have lately ordered a
trial to be made on a number of Pensioners, of the
new and improved modes of conducting the absorbent
practice, which, it is understood, is now generally
recommended by the most eminent Teachers of Sur;
gery in thc metropolis. The trial is proceeding, and
promises the greatest success ; and it is expected that
the result will be officially communicated to the
public, in order that they may be made acquainted
by such satisfactory and impartial evidence, with the
comparative merits of the two operantios.
