Sir—l have the honour to acquaint you, that on
the Ration preferibed by your order of the 2 in of

hours. and a (mart exchange of fhut for fifteen mi•

the enemy's guns were Neil fur.plied with grape and
langrage ; the was fifty-four days from St. Sebaf-
tian, not having made any capture, perfettly new,
coppered, fails well, and in my opinion calculated
for the King's fervice. Could I venture, Sir, on this

lure to command, to mention their conduit, I fhould
certainly recommend them to notice t among whom

Yetlerday at four o'clock, P. M. departed this life,
at his apartments at Knight!bridge, in the 78th year
of his age, AiTHUIL Muartiv, Efq. Barriaer at Law
and a Bencher of Lincoln's Inn. He lived in the
clofen friendfhip with the mon poli(hed authors and
greaten lawyers of his time. His knowledge of the
Clalcs was profound. His trannations of the Roman
hiflorians enlarged his fame. His dramatic produc-
tions were inferiori to none of the time in v Lich he
flourilhel The fire of the poet was particularly
adorned by the refined tale of the critic. The mo
deration of his ambition, and the modal', of his na-
ture, inclined his genius to court the retirement of
his fludy, in preference to the purfuits of au aftive
life. As a man of high talents and a warm heart he
lived honoured, and as a very devout Chrinian he
was long refigned to the will of his Ceseroa ; in the,
words he was often heard to repeat from Pura—
Half taught by rcafon, half by mere decay,
To welcome death and calmly pars away.

We are happy in being able to tongratulate the
public on the falling price of corn. The art vii
of 80,000 quarters of foreign wheat, and more beirg
expeeted from Ruffia and Denmark, though not very
fine, tends to a further redußion. Many Farmers
and Corn Merchants who have kept up large flocks
of corn, will in all probability fullain a heavy I.,fs
from not having fent part at leaft to market line:
or four months ago.. The prefent appearance of the
crops is fo favourable, that an advance cannot pofil-
bly be expeCted ; and yet it is generally believed that
many wealthy individuals flu hold large quantities
°fine wheat, an article of which the market is kept
very bare, though the prefent prices for good wheat
are high, whiCh helps to keep up the prices of flour
and bread.
