people, or from Tome other caufe,is uncertain;
but we have frequent inRances here of crimes
which are dreadful even beyond credibility.
A few days ago two Ariifans, who were
drinking together, quarrelled in their cups |;
on which one of them infantry drew I'll.
Ietto, and laid bis companion dead on the
fpot. A folder who was prefeni, refolving
to be revenged on the aAafin for the muir
der of the deceafed who was his friend,
matched up knife from table, and plung-
ed it in his heart. This latter though the
blood ran fait from his wound, purified the
folder holding the ftiletto Fill in bis hand,
but defpairing of over,aking him, he took a
barbaroIs reiolution to fab every one that
came in his way. He loon laid feven per-
ions dead in the ifrect, and wounded many
more. This moniRer at laR, cxhauRed by
lois of blood, fell down; and PrieR COM
ing to bis afifaancc, he RATED his arm to fab
him, but expired before he could ftrike the
blow. This is the lsa of many accideRts
which happened lately in theie parts.
ROME, [ LfaS] April 4. A few days a.
90 the Duke Of GlouceRer went TO fee the
rarities of the Capitol, and from thence to
examine the curious monuments which are
in the Hotel of the Confervators, and thoie
IN the mufeum OF the Capitol. The Able
vifconti, CommiIary of antiquities whom
whom the Pope had fent as an interpreter,
mad an opportunity of converting lorg time
with the Duke, and communicated to him
many of his discoveries, which no perfon had
ever made before him; among others, he
demonlirated to him that the figure placed
in the Vefible of the Muieum, hitherto
known under the denomination of the God
Pan, does not repreient that Heathen Divini-
ty, but the CycloPs PoliPhemus, who killed
Gome of Ubiles's companions. His Jingle
eye being covered, to this day with modern
isucko, prevented its being known whole re-

LONDON, MAY z. The company at
the Pantheon naked ball, on Thurfday C.
yening were near two thoufand in number
among the characters was Sultans, Lady
Villa S, with an altonilhing quantity OF dia
monds, to the value of 3o,oool. half of
which was her own property.
BY gentleman juf arrived from Paris
we are informed the Pretender, from his
being 70 many years devoted to his bottle,
had no inclination to the deed of mattmo-
nv, but was edged on by the French court
to preferve the breed of Stuart, as future
convenience to their Vaccinations. 1t is
Iikewi(e faid, that the French King has
added comfortably TO thePrincsis's fortune.
On Thurfday the hOule unanimously re-
folved, that no bill relating to religion, or
the alteration of the laws concerning religi-
ON, be brought into their houfe, until the
pfopofition ihalI have been hrft conhdered
in committee of the who.e houfe, and a.
greed unto by the houfe; which relolution
was mace tianding order OF the houie.
MAY Il is now confidently faid that
rothing but the cuifomary fupplies will be
demanocd from the Parliament and that
this advantage is owingto the prudent adj
miniRrztion of Lord North, who beiijes a.
yoding the impoGtion OF new burdens up
on the fubjsa, has paid off 500, oooI.
OF the national debt in the courie of the Paf
WRITES.
