Saturday's and Sunday's Posts.
Private letters from Port Jackson and Norfolk Island give very melancholy accounts of the state of the convicts and troops there. Provisions were very scarce, the whole settlement being in February last, put to half allowance, and even at that rate, having sufficient only to subsist for seven months. The quantity of corn raised was by no means considerable, and scarce a single article produced which can be made an object of commerce, at either place.
On Sunday morning the body of a sailor, with that of his landlady, were found murdered in their respective beds, at a lodging-house, in New Gravel-lane, Ratcliff-highway. The murder is supposed to have been perpetrated by a Portuguese sailor who lodged in the same house, and has since absconded.
The Admiralty are taking all possible precaution in paying off the ships lately put out of commission, in order that so many idle people should not be thrown too suddenly on the public.
The squadron under the command of Admiral Cornish arrived in Madeira on the 9th of November, after a passage of only fourteen days. Their orders were to proceed immediately to Jamaica, after touching at Barbadoes. They had heard nothing of the Convention with the Court of Spain, and both officers and men were in high spirits, expecting every moment to hear of a declaration of war.
Extract of a Letter from Holyhead.
December 19.
"Yesterday evening a most melancholy event happened near this place : One of the Liverpool packets in endeavouring to enter our harbour for shelter, struck upon a rock, and went to pieces. It is supposed there were one hundred and fifty people on board, of whom twenty-seven only are saved."
On Monday night died, after a severe illness, at his Grace's house in Great Argyle-street, the Most Noble Elizabeth Duchess of Argyle. Her Grace was second daughter to John Gunning, Esq, by Bridget, daughter of Lord Viscount Mayo, married first, Feb.14, 1752, to James, sixth Duke of Hamilton; by whom; who died in 1758, she had issue James George, the late Duke of Hamilton; Douglas, the present Duke; and Elizabeth, the present Countess of Derby. Her Grace married secondly, March 3, 1759, John Campbell, Marquis of Lorn, now Duke of Argyle, by whom she has left living issue two sons and two daughters : May 20, 1776, her Grace was created Baroness Hamilton, of Hamilton, Leicestershire; which title descends to her eldest son, the Duke of Hamilton.
LONDON, Monday, Dec. 27.
Thursday morning, between 4' and 6 o'clock, after a very windy and tempestuous night, which had succeeded to a moist, calm day, a tremendous storm of Thunder and Lightning over the metropolis, accompanied with hail, and rain in a very violent degree. [Many] are of opinion that it was attended by [...] earthquake, the houses being perceived to shake considerably. The course of the storm was nearly from N.E. to S.W.- The flash[es] of Lightning were as strong and vivid, and [the] peals of thunder as loud as ever were known. [For] about an hour and a half previous to the height of the storm, the air was exceedingly close [and] warm. It is much to be apprehended, that great damage has been done, as the storm seems [to] have extended to a considerable distance.
The following accidents, have already reach[ed] our paper :- Lincoln's-Inn Garden, thirteen trees were blown down. Six Clerks' Office, Chancery-Lane, stripped of the copper roof. Several houses, particularly two houses in Long-Moorfields, were blown down. Six trees in [the] quarters of Moorfields were torn up by the roots. The Letter-Foundery of Messrs. Fry, in Typ[..] street, suffered considerably by the fall of two large stacks of chimnies.
The late severe gales of wind have proved [as] fatal in Ireland as in this country, and on [the] coasts; many houses were stripped of their covering, others have been demolished by stacks [of] chimnies falling on them, and not a few have been shattered to their foundation; by these unfortunate accidents several lives have been lost.
A correspondent, who has just perused the description of some occurrences of a former time observes, that the dreadful storm which arose on Thursday morning, was, in some degree, similar yet, notwithstanding its excessive violence [far] from equal, in point either of duration, or the calamities which it occasioned, to that which raged at the close of the year, 1703 ; - A period most probably not in the recollection of any [of] our readers. Then houses and churches unroofed, chimnies and the spires of steeples blown down, and whole groves of trees torn up by the roots; whilst the incessant flashes of the lightning caused a devastation almost as shocking and extensive as that which resulted from the fury of the tempest. Vessels, barges, and boats were sunk in the Thames; but, the Royal Navy, a part of which was just returned from the Mediterranean, suffered the greatest injury; one second, four third, and four fourth rates, and many other ships of less force, having wrecked on the coast of England. About fifteen hundred seamen perished, exclusive of those were cast away in the merchant's service ; in London only, the damage was estimated at a million sterling .
Before the Minister had arranged his plan for paying off the expences of the late armament, [it] was generally imagined there would be a loan of four or five millions;- Under this idea, Messrs Hope, of Amsterdam, made a proposal to Government to take one million, and a half of it on the three per cents. at the very advanced price of eighty - which was not accepted.
The above circumstance, which is a fact, is the best and most unequivocal proof of the rising prosperity of this country, and of the good opinion entertained of its credit, and prudent administration.
From the six ships of the line lately ordered for India, under the command of the Chevalier de Villages, there is much reason to apprehend that the French are meditating disturbances in that quarter. On board these ships are thirteen battalions of Infantry, which are to be joined by some regiments from the Mauritius, under the command of Mess. Rehaque and Fremont.
The ostensible designs of this squadron is to restore order among the settlements in the East; but the real purpose is supposed to be deeper, and will probably show itself soon, by some overt act of treachery, too flagrant to be concealed.
Of the same kind of perfidy is probably the specious message of the Chevalier Macnamara, for the redemption of English prisoners detained by Tippoo, with whom none were to be found. These acts of friendship are like the gifts of the Greeks, all filled with delusion, and carrying nothing but fraud and war internally.
A design is also said to be meditating by the Americans, for taking possession of some forts belonging to us on the river Saint Lawrence. But this design, if there really ever was such, must have been formed in conjunction with the Spaniards, and therefore, in consequence of the late Convention, will probably fall to the ground.
To counteract any plots�, however which may be formed against us by our enemies, on any side, it was on Friday strongly reported that eighteen ships of the line are to be kept in readiness during the winter, so as to admit of immediate equipment: and every other measure, if there should be occasion, will doubtless be taken, that either the defence of our Allies, or the security of our possessions in any part of the world, may require.
Tippoo Sultan, it is strongly suspected, is supported by the Court of France, large quantities of arms having been sent him in Dutch ships within the Iast three years; and a great number of French officers and men, who were withdrawn from Pondicherry, having, with the consent of their own Court, joined the tyrant's standard.
THURSDAY's POST.
LONDON, Tuesday, December 28.
By the latest accounts from America, we are informed, that the Court of Spain has ceded the free navigation of the Mississippi to the United States.
Though it is now settled by a great majority in Parliament, that dissolution does not abate an impeachment, and, "that the trial of Warren Hastings, Esq; is still pending" - another question, we hear, will be brought forward after the holidays to determine, "how far it might be expedient in the House of Commons to carry the prosecution further." This was a question the Minister, as well as many other Members, took care, in the infancy of this debate, to reserve themselves for, and to separate it from the rights and privileges of the House of Commons.
Loss of the Charlemont Packet.
This vessel sailed on Wednesday se'nnight from Liverpool, and had reached the bay of Dublin, when she was driven back by a violent gale of wind, not long after a large West-Indiaman went to the bottom with her crew at the entrance of that harbour. On the ensuing evening the weather became favourable, and the Captain again proceeded to sea, having, during this interval, increased his passengers to the number of about one hundred and twenty. He again has nearly made the port of Dublin, when a second time he was forced back. By this time the uneasiness of the people became general, and the cabin passengers became very importunate with the Master to land them at Holyhead, although he declared himself imperfectly acquainted with the coast, and exhorted them to relinquish their intention: his Mate, however, confident of his intimate knowledge, succeeded in carrying the favourite point of the passengers, and they accordingly steered thither. The consequences were fatal. The Mate, it is alleged, deceived by some lights, mistook his course, the vessel struck on one of the rocks which skirt the Welch coast, soon after went to pieces, and sixteen persons only escaped the merciless element.
Among those providentially saved is the Hon. Captain Jones, son to Lord Ranelagh, who when the vessel struck, sprung from her deck on the rock, and received no injury; a person belonging to Astley's company was rescued from a most perilous situation, being caught by Captain Jones, on the return of a wave, which washed him from the same rock, on which he had also leaped from the packet. About twelve ladies were on board, some of whom, in expectation of assistance, and under the horrors of death impending over them in so terrifick a form, clung round the Steward of the ship, who, thus prevented from the possibility of making any efforts for his own preservation, perished in their embraces.
Mr. Moore, of the county of Westmeath, and his wife, an amiable young couple, were among those that met their untimely death. They were found locked in each others arms.

WORCESTER, Dec. 29.
On Thursday morning last, about three o'clock, we had a very violent storm of thunder, lightning, wind, and hail, which greatly alarmed the inhabitants of this city, but we have not heard of any material damage done here, more than some houses untiled, and windows broke: in the neighbouring country many large trees have been blown down, and ricks and barns stript of their thatch; at the house of Henry Wakeman, Esq; at Claines, near this city, a sky-light which had an iron frame, was blown to another put of the building which did great damage to the roof. According to the various accounts from other places the storm was general all over the kingdom.
On Thursday last was married, Richard Hale Green, Esq; late a Captain his Majesty's first Regiment of Dragoon Guards, to Miss Burwall, daughter of Edward Burwall, Esq; of Butterley, in the county of Hereford.
Last week died, at Macclesfield, in Cheshire, Mr. Robert Weaver, eldest son of Mr. Alderman Weaver, of Gloucester.
Friday se'nnight died at Thornbury, in Glocestershire, raving mad, John Frome, a child about five years old.- He was bitten about a month ago, and immediately dipped in the Severn, but the dreadful catastrophe that followed, evidently shows, that salt-water is not to be relied on in these cases.
On Tuesday last A. Annesley, Esq; was elected a Member in Parliament for the city of Oxford, in the room of Capt. Bertle, deceased.
On Wednesday last, Lord Arden was a second time chosen to represent the borough of Warwick in Parliament, without opposition.
On Thursday morning last, at Wicks St. Lawrence, Somersetshire, a thunderbolt struck the weather-cock of the tower, very much damaged the pinnacle, entered the West window, and took its course into the body of the church, scorched the pulpit cloth, and cracked the pulpit, which was built with stone, and much injured the whole of the fabric .- The damage is estimated at three hundred pounds.
By the high wind last Wednesday evening, a large new-built factory and house, in New-town, Manchester, belonging to Mr. Brennan, were entirely levelled with the ground; by the fall one small house was totally demolished, and another irreparably damaged; a great weight of brick broke through the roof of the latter, and fell on a bed, in which lay a man, his wife, and, a boy , six years of age; the boy was killed, and his parents very much bruised: in the other house, a most providential escape was witnessed; a man and his wife, in bed, were driven through two floors into the cellar, without receiving any material injury.
A circumstance not less dreadful in its consequence than disgraceful to a civilized nation, happened at High-green, a few miles from Sheffield, on Saturday se'nnight. A Bear, kept there for the amusement of the country people at their wakes, got loose, and, entered the dwelling of a person named Rogers. The unfortunate wife of the man was sitting with one child on her lap, and another before her, when the creature seized her with all the savage ferocity incident to its nature, and tore her in a manner too shocking to particularize. The cries of the poor unfortunate, and of the children, reached Rogers and the Bear-ward, who almost the same moment entered the house, and beheld a sight sufficient to appal the most callous mind; what then must have been the feelings of a husband: He flew to the animal, but was unable to wrench its jaws from the object of its fury. The Bear-ward then struck it on the head with a hammer, but the: haft flying off, the blow was powerless; it however turned the bent of its rage on him, and it pursued him until he was nearly exhausted with fatigue, and he must have fallen a victim had not the neighbours, alarmed at the out-cries, come up with him, and, at a second shot, laid it dead. The woman expired in dreadful agony on Monday.
