" Fearing that the rapid fall of 205. per quarter
in the price of wheat in our laft market, might
not be permanent, we declined noticing it in any
other way, than in our ufual hate of the markets:
We have now, however, the gratification of in-
forming our readers, that wheat this day further
declined in price full 205. per quarter on the aye-
rage."—Reacfing Mercury.

Sir RICHARD STEHLE was early in life employed
as Gazette writer, and he defcribes with great
truth the nature of the labours of that fituation.
He lays, " I worked faithfully according to order,
without ever erring again(} the rule obferved by
all Minifters to keep that paper very innocent and
very infipid." The Gazette, to this day, is con-
dueled in this manner ' • and in the relation of bat-
tle there is no danger of any body being able to
dircoverficrea!

A circular letter had been fent in the beginning
of laft week, to all the Fire Offices Rating that a
plan was formed for fetting fire to different parts
of London on the night of New Year's Day : it
occafioned confiderable alarm, and every meafure
was projected to defeat fuch a horrid defign : but
probably the whole was a hoax.
New York papers to the 26th have been receiv-
ed.—They do not bring intelligence from the feat
of Government fo late as that which we received
laft whk. We find, however, by letters from
Lancafter (Pennfylvania) of the loth, that the Se-
nate of that province has paired by 13 to t t the
Bill prefented by the Houfe of Reprefentatives,
for concurring in the eledion of Prefident and
Vice Prefident. The Senate introduced feveral
important amendments in the Bill fent to them.
Several fi'uitlefs conferences had been held be-
tween the two Honks, on the fubjed. By the
Bill which has at 'aft been paired, it is enacted that
the eledion for the electors (who are afterwards
to vote for Prefident and Vice Prefident) 'hall be
on the 22d of November. The number of Elec-
tors to be ;5. To form this number the Senate
is to nominate Eight (the Houfe of Rcprefenta-
fives wifhed to allow them only five), and the
Houfe of Reprefentatives Eight. They are then
to chufe from thefe Sixteen the fifteen Eledors ;
the fifteen having moft voices to be appointed.—
The Sense to vote firti, and then the Houfe of
Reprefentatives. We are not fnfficiently acquaint.
ed with the intrigues in this province of Penfyl-
vania to fay how far this arrangement will affect
the interests of the refpedive candidates for the
Prefident's dignity. The Province, however, fe-
cures Come weight in the decifton.
Some of the newfpapers calculate that ADAMS
and Placznar will have 68 voices. it/711MM
