We are credib!y informed, that for the
twenty years psil no leE FUN thsnI 7o,ood
hath been paid into The Bank Ct Engiari
tve,y sceeS FROM The Excite Office, for duti4S
to government. How is this amaziog fun
applied Why are the people oppTeied anu
burihened with ta%esi
tits faia, that at the next meeting Of par.
lament motion will be made to erafe the
ninth commandment, or TO leave on, the ne
gative in future impreAions of The bible; as
from the falhionabenefs Of the lin forbidden
and condemned, its authority and influence
are uleleG and diGegaTded.
A lhip arrived from Dagis's Straits this
fealon brings advice, that ihe failed 70 far up
to the Pole, that the magnetic compass had
no power, and that lhe then came into \
open broad calm fea, where there was ngA
the leaf appearance oflano.
We are forty TO inform our readers, ii
there does not now fubhh las foImerly)
perfect harmony between the only two peer
from whom we have to hope reform
cur prefent fyfem Of politics at the helm
we mean the Lords Chatham and Gambler
The fra nobleman, il feenls, having liiene
to overtures from administration, was dsii
rous of bringing his friend into fhare Of
the propoled fipulations but Lord Cam
den not approving of, would not healken tos
the psopoGtlons; and his Loidihip proceeding
70 far as to rather frenuouly reprehend
Lord Chatham for his conduct q efein, the
noble Earl (Whoie warmth of temper is as
Oft his failing as his virtue) has taken no
little umbrsge thereat. s
We mention it as a peculiar and happy
circumfance, that in the large and popuious
village of 1haxted in Eiiex, there is not
one l1soyer. The inhabitants fuIely are either
very friendly or very poor, to be free ftolsl
thofe all devouring locufs. <4i
The gentry in the wet of England FREE
quently entertain their guefs after fGpper
with a white pot, which is made very cciily
and rich. A lady Of fortune, Who lately
came from thofe parts to fettle in the neigh
bourhood Of ST. JAmes's, made an elegant
entertainment few days ago to fcme IL ta
friends. The diihes heing removed, the lacy
whifpered John, bring tie scbiff pat John

THE table and nnever ii. When behold 10
lhe no fma confr6on and sftoninment Of
the company p'efent, particularly The ladies,
a sobife chamber pat appeared. Which ended
in an heariy laugh at poor Johns ignorance.
ThUrfday night fome dispatches of impor-
lance, faid to relate to the Eudden departure
of the French ambaHadot from this kined m,
were received at the iecretary of States Of
fee in Cleveland row.
A CORRESPONDENT informs us, that the mon
perfect harmony fubGfs between the Lords
Camden and Mansfield, to which nothing 10
much contributes as reciprocal admiration
of each others great abilities.
We are told that the A M RICAN
TEA BILL will be repealed. Its certain
ly not worth while for England to quarrel
with her colonies for 70 tiiAing revenue as
is RATED in confequcncc OF that act.
