The quarrel between Lord CASlit.lOItD and Cap.
tain Bisr originated yefterday afternoon in the
Prince of Wales's Coffee Houle, Conduit-Rreet, and
is Rated to have been as follows : Lord C. was fit-
ting in the boxes, when Captain B. came in, and bow-
ing, paired his Lordfhip, who, addrefEng himfelf
to Captain B. made ufc of grofs and very infulting
lariviage, concluding by calling him a fcoundrel.
—A nieffage from Captain Belt was the conic-
quenee.—As the iafult was in a public Coffee-
room, information was immediately fent to the Po-
lice Offices in Marlborough-greet and Bow-greet, to
prevent the panics from fighting. The Runners
from there Offices were fent in every direetion to pre-
vent the meeting. Lord CAMIL FORD'S hotife, and
that of Captain Bssr, which is No. 3, Wimpole.

Brigade Major Law iron writes from Madras, on
the 7th of Au cur} ha, that he had completed the
meafurement, in the Eaft Indies, of an arc of the
meridian of the earth, fo ellenti.d, by a comparifun
with Sadly meafurements now carrying on in Eng.
land and Spain, and lately executed in Lapland, fur
determining the exaa form and dimenfions of the
globe. It appears that, hy means of a (cries of triangles,
whole angles were determined by a large and very
accurate theodolite, lately made by CART, he found
the dillance of two ftat;ons, north and booth of each
other, to be 1c9,777 Englifh miles, and by careful
and repeated oblervations of the flats, at each of the
nations, with a zenith fedor, made by the late jutlly
celebrated RAMSDILS, he funnel their difference id la•
titude to be 1,592,342 degrees ; from whence he con-
cludes. that one degree on the meridian, or line
from North to South, whole middle point is in fa° 32'
North latitude, is equal to 6:49; Engl.lll fathoms,
or 56,762.8 Fiends toifes. Frurr a feties of trian-
gles at the fame place, ina direction Eall and Well,
he finds the length of a degree perpendicular to the
meridian, or Eait and Weil, to be 61,01 Englith
1411.`171‘. or 57,291.9 French toifes. It is with plea-

moderate, and tlf! wind about N. N. E. to N. N. W.
About la o'dlock at night, it blew about S. W.
which induced the DOLPHIN cutter, Capt. Joint (aid
the whole of the trade bound to the northward, sada
her convoy) to weigh; but the wind very foss
cbanged to the oppollte points, blowing a finest Babe
and fqually, which obliged them to return into port.
.The weather this morning began to moderate. obi&
caufed the fleet again to get under weigh, and Rand
to the weflward : the little wind there is leans to
come from E. N. E. which is not favourable for the
North Channel. The Eliza and Ann, London trader,
Ries Rees; mailer, ha from Falmouth. is arrived
with fundries for this port and neighbourhood. I
am happy to be able to hate, that the mackerel May
has commenced, and is remarkably profpardes z fe-
veral of our boats came in on Wedoefday,
