Dispatches have been received from

frica, which has arrived at Cork, from
Halifax. They do not contain any par

are given up of the safety OF the Mag

lase Warren, at Halifax but no account
of her has yet been received, and it is
supposed she must have foundered.

DR.. Pavidge's death &c.
{" Secondly. Mr.. Partridge pretends

which all the parish says he must 90 oy
conyersing with the devil ard other evil
spirits: and no wise man "'ll ever al
low he could converse personally with

"Thirdly, / will plainly prove MN 10
he dead out Of his own almanac tor this

he nroduces to make us think him alive.
He there says, He is not only n'su anVe
but svas also aHDe uhon the verh gym %
Anrch (Which I foretold he should d,s On.
By this he declares his opinion, that a
man NAV be alive now who was not alive

lies the sophistry of bis argument. lis
dares not assert he was alive ever since
chat 2eth of March, but that he Is now

his death, in Letter to Lord; ana

caviline, and l am ashamed to dwel any
longer upon it.
| @There is one objection against Mr.
Patridee's death, which / have some
times met with, though very slightly OF
fered-That he still continues to write
| almanacs. But this is no more than
what is common to all of that profession;
Gaabury, Prior, Robin, Dove, Wing,
| ard several others, do yearly publish
| their almanacs, though seyera! OF them
| have been dead since before the revo.
luton. Now the natural reason OF this
take TO Be, that whereas it is the Prl-
vilege OF other author, to lire after Their

cluded, because their dissertations treat

become useless as those 60 off. ln con-

DONAPARTE DEAD -
Bit rot sHecchieSS.


Every man may persuade himself tina;
Napoleon is dead, by reading the fol.
lowing demonstration, extracted from
Swif,'s works, in which Isaac Bicker.
staff, Esq. predicted the death of Mr.
John Partridge, the almanac-maker; &
when Partridge, under his own sigma
ture. positively declared he was ahUe,
Bickers.aff very ingeniously refutes him
thus:
"The other objection is the unhappy
occasion e this discourse. and relates to
an article OF nv predictions, which fore
told the death Of Mr.. Partridge, to hap
pen on March %, 1908. This he is
pleased to contradict absolutely in the
Almanac he has published for the pre-
sent year. and in that ngentlemanly
manner pardon the expression) US l
have above related. In that work he
very roundly asserts, that he is not only
noW dliUe. but syes Hkerise aiive on that
very 2eth Of March, q9hsn I had FORE
told he should die. This is the subject
OF the present controversy between US ;
which design to handle with all bre-
witty, perspicui'y and caImness. In this
dispute, am sensible the eyes not only
OF England, but Of all Europe, will be
upon us; and the learned in every coua.
try will, doubt not, take Dart on tina.
side where they find most appearance
of reason and truth.
Without entering into criticisms of
chronology about the hour of bis death
l Shall only prove that Mr.. Partridge is
not alive. And my first argument is
thu: Above thousand gentlemen
having bought his Almanacs for this
year, merely TO 6od " bat he said against

MANSION HOUSE.

Yesterday two seataring men, Zone OF
them black natives of America, were
brought up, and who represented them
| selves to be in an absolute state of star
walton, besides being compelled to sleep
in the sueet for several nights {; and, 10
addition to this, their being eff cled with
almost incurable diseases, one with the
scurvy and another with All ulcer in his
| leg. They intrested the lord mayor to
relieve their distress, either by ordering
them to receive parochial assistance, or
to be admitted into an hospital. His
Iordship demanded why they did not ap-
ply tor relief to the American consul
to which they replied, that they had
made repeated applications, but were re-
fused relief on the ground, that altho'
they were acknowledged to be American
subjects, they had served on board Bril-
tish ships of war. and that as their dis
tresses had arisen subsequent to their
being engaged in our service, he would
not listen to their having any claim for
relief from the government of their na.
tive country.
The men stated that they had in vain
represented to the consul that they had
been impressed into the British service
in the present instance, however they
waved this plea, and begged to inform
his lerdsAip, that they had been wounded
in the service of G. Britain, and could
produce testimonials to that effect. The
Lord Mayor ordered them to be taken
into St Thomas's Hospital for the pre-
sent, Or until they were sufficiently re-
covered to be able to find employment by
going to sea. His lordship lamented
that SO many applicants of this descrip-
ton had come before him of late, whom
1t was impossible on his part to provide
Tor, there being not less than 1000 Of
them now i'll England.
