Vienna, November 13.
LONDON, Friday, November 26.
Wednesday arrived at St.James's, at a quarter past two, the Lord Mayor, attended by the usual city officers, and accompanied by the two Sheriffs, Recorder, &c. and a very large body of the Common Council; when they were introduced to the King on the Throne in the Great Council Chamber, and presented the following address from the city of London; to which his Majesty returned a very gracious answer; and afterwards conferred the honour of Knighthood on the Recorder and Mr. Sheriff Glyn.
To the KING's Most Excellent Majesty.
The humble Address of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the city of London, in Common Council assembled.
Most Gracious Sovereign,
WE your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the city of London, in Common Council assembled, approach your Majesty with hearts full of gratitude, upon the agreeable prospect of a continuance of established peace by the Convention with Spain.
Deeply affected with the injuries sustained by our fellow subjects from that nation, we concurred in the general sentiments of the whole kingdom, expressed by the two Houses of Parliament, on receiving your Majesty's most gracious message in the last Session; and we beheld with confidence the vigorous measures which were adopted to gain full satisfaction for the injuries done, and to maintain the honour and dignity of the British Empire; to which measures, and to your Majesty's paternal regard for the interests of your people, next to the Divine Providence, we thankfully ascribe the happy issue of the late disagreements.
Your Majesty's faithful Citizens of London are too well convinced of the salutary consequences of continual peace, to delay their congratulations upon the reconciliation with Spain; for, notwithstanding they have ever manifested their readiness to bear a proportion of burthens created by the prosecution of a just war, they cannot but most ardently rejoice at a termination of pending hostilities, at a time when the reduction of the national debt is an object of importance to your people.
Deign, Sire, to accept our most cordial wishes, that your Majesty's reign may long continue in peace and prosperity over a grateful and affectionate people.
His MAJESTY'S most gracious Answer.
"I receive with great pleasure the dutiful and loyal Address of the City of London: the protection of the Navigation and Commerce of my Subjects is a principal object of my attention; and I am confident that I may always expect their unanimous support in such measures as may be necessary for that purpose. It affords me the highest satisfaction to reflect, that on the present occasion, this object has been obtained without disturbing the public tranquillity which is productive of such increasing advantages to my people."

Naples, Nov. 2. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius has ceased, without having done much damage to the cultivated parts of the Mountain. The late eruption was certainly the most violent that has happened since that of the year 1779, which was truly alarming and destructive.
LONDON, Monday, Nov. 29.
The gentleman upon whom the parliamentary duties of Lord Grenville in the House of Commons devolves, is the Honourable Mr. Ryder, who is to be joint Paymaster of the Army, and assistant orator to Mr. Pit; in which office we sincerely hope he will in future speak as well as he writes.
A proclamation has been issued at Dublin for the further prorogation of the Irish Parliament to the 20th of January next, on that day to meet for the dispatch of business.
The Earl of Harborough, who 'has not been in town before these five years, yesterday waited on the Minister, at his house in Downing-street, and had a conference with him.
By the recent death of General Sherrard, brother to Lord Harborough, his Lordship received an addition to his fortune �50,000.
The Attorney General has very justly interposed his official authority to prevent the publication of proceedings all the examination of persons charged with offences before the Magistrates, "such publications tending to prejudice their trials, and being therefore inconsistent with the true administration of justice."
The town of Colchester is in an uproar in consequence of the felonious discovery of a singular nature. Two young Ladies of great beauty, and no inconsiderable fortune, have within these few days been apprehended, and committed to the castle, on a charge of robbing Mr. Humphries, a haberdasher, of sundry articles. Having missed numberless pieces of ribbon, lace, &c. &c. in the course of three months, which in vain he endeavoured to account for - it struck him, that his property must have been artfully purloined by the above-mentioned fair visitants, with whom he was in habits of friendly intimacy : one evening they were watched and detected :- on going out of the shop he requested them to return into the parlour, where they were secured, a constable sent for, and various pieces of ribbon, blond, &c. found upon them. On searching their residence, different articles to a considerable amount were found, the property of Mr. Humphries;- in consequence of which the young Ladies were committed for trial.
The flashes of lightning in the metropolis on Sunday night, during a very heavy shower of hail and rain, were some of the largest and most vivid almost ever remembered at this season of the year.
Died lately at Maryport, Cumberland, Joseph Peele, aged, near 107. This extraordinary person, who resigned his breath in the same cottage he received it, was an apprentice to a ropemaker in Whiteheaven, in the reign of Queen Anne, from whence being impressed, he served in the wars during her reign; he afterwards married, and had twelve children by one wife, who dying several years ago, he never suffered himself to be shaved since that period.
HIS chief attendant, for many years past, was a maiden daughter, now almost eighty years of age. He was chiefly supported, of late, by the bounty of some families in his neighbourhood, and retained his health to the last, a trifling defect in his sight and hearing excepted.
Salisbury, Nov.27. The inhabitants of this city were visited Iast Sunday evening with a very tremendous storm of lightning and thunder, accompanied with a heavy fall of rain. The nigh-impending clouds were so highly charged with the electrick matter, that the lightning, which was unusually vivid and strong, appeared to roll along the ground like a body of liquid fire; and its frequent flashes were almost instantaneously succeeded by such terrible bursts of thunder, that many persons were exceedingly alarmed, and almost every house felt an instantaneous shock from its powerful effects. At the Three Swans Inn, a stack of chimnies was thrown down with great violence, and much damage was done to two rooms within the house, the windows of which were broken, and much of the furniture destroyed. Some damage was also sustained at other houses in this city. By accounts from different parts of the country we learn; that the storm continued from Saturday noon to Monday night, and that its effects were equally aweful and destructive in many places.

LONDON, Tuesday, November 30.
This day the Master and Wardens of the Worshipful Company of Stationers will wait on the Archbishop of Canterbury, at his Palace at Lambeth, and present the Almanacks for the year ensuing, according to annual custom.
Yesterday about half past twelve o'clock in the forenoon, a man of decent but reduced appearance dropped down in the entrance from Spring Gardens to the Park, and suddenly expired. His appearance sanctioned the melancholy idea, that he died through absolute want; His remains were carried to the Bone-house of St.Martin's parish.
Saturday se'nnight, in the evening, about nine o'clock, a storm of thunder and lightning happened in the neighbourhood of Tavistock; -- The church and steeple of Caulstock, in Cornwall, bear marks of its violence. The lightning fell on the tower, threw down the western pinnacles, and made a breach in the steeple down to the belfry. Some of the fallen stones are sunk two feet under the surface of the church-yard. From the tower. the electric fluid took its direction through the church, and tore the altar-piece in shivers. The damages are estimated at �200. A hog near the spot was killed by the lightning.
Lord Grenville is talked of, very confidently. for Speaker to the House of Lords, with a salary of four thousand pounds a year.
A few days since died, at Green-Grove, in the county of Cardigan, the Right Hon. the Lady Viscountess Lisburne, relict of John the IId Viscount, by whose death a large property in that county devolves on Wilmot, the present Earl of Lisburne.
The Thames and Leopard frigates, commanded by Captains Trubridge and Blankett, have sailed from Portsmouth for the Pacific Ocean; they are to join company with the Pandora at Madeira, and proceed from thence round Cape Horn to Nooth Sound, to see proper indemnification made to the British subjects for the injuries they received there from the Spanish Government. It is said they have orders to erect a fortress at Nootka, and to rase those erected by the Spaniards, and to take possession, in the name of the King of Great-Britain, of that immense tract of country, situated to the Northward of Santa Fee.
The export of cattle from Ireland, is very considerable. By reference to the Custom-House books of Donaghadee, the oxen and horses exported within the short space of eight months was 11,770 oxen, 2162 horses.
Last Friday, his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence gave a very noble entertainment to the Admirals and Captains at Portsmouth, where were present Admirals Barrington, Roddam, Elliott, and Goodall, and twenty-three Captains.
Previous to his Royal Highness taking leave of his ship's company, he read to them the orders of Government on the conclusion of the Treaty with Spain; he said, that though he exulted in the blessings of peace, he could not but feel some concern at parting so soon from such brave fellows; and added, that it would be the highest gratification of his pride to find them willing to join him again, should their country want their gallant services. At these words, the whole ship's company cried out, as with one voice, "Yes, yes, by G-d we'll sail with you for ever."
His Royal Highness, at his own private expence, then gave every man before the mast two complete suits of raiment, and conducted himself in every other respect like an indulgent father to the people under his command --� for his princely generosity is as unbounded as his rank is exalted: and there are very strong conjectures, that our seamen are indebted to him for the late gracious bounty which was ordered to be paid to them in addition to their wages.

Last week died, Mr. Adamson, glover, in Sansom-street.
Last Thursday died, at Mr. Nash's, in Sidbury, Mrs. Harris; in religious, charitable, and moral duties, seldom equalled, or excelled by any.- Her affability of manners, and cheerful conversation was such as gained universal esteem amongst those who had the pleasure of her friendship and acquaintance; who now are left to console their loss in an assured hope of her better state.
If whilst on earth, she was possess'd
Of such a strong philanthropy :
Then surely when amongst the bless'd,
A guardian angel must she be.
On Friday last was committed to our Castle, by Richard Harrison, Esq; for further examination, William Crawford, of Bromsgrove, nailor, charged on the oath of Humphry Staunton, with buying and receiving from the said Staunton; and Edward Guest his accomplice, several things knowing them to have been stolen.
And on Monday was committed to our City Prison, by Thomas Carden, Esq; Mayor, Ruth Bourn, charged on the oath of Thomas Evans, on suspicion of being concerned with her husband, Joseph Bourn, in taking from Thomas Evans, a pinchback watch, his property.
Crawford and Bourn were apprehended by Mr. John Baker, of this city. - Guest, above mentioned, fled from Bromsgrove to London, but by Mr. John Baker's sending to Sir Sampson Wright, he was apprehended.
The following circumstance occurred last week in a parish a few miles distant from Hereford :- A couple were married on Sunday; had a birth and christening on Monday; the child died on Tuesday, and was buried on Wednesday.
His Grace the Duke of Norfolk is unanimously elected High Steward of the city of Hereford, which office was vacated by the death of the late Earl of Oxford.
Saturday died at Knightley Hall, in Staffordshire, Mr. Heaford, a capital Farmer. - His death was occasioned by a rude bull of his own, which he could not be prevailed on to kill, though two men servants had left him on the occasion within a month, as they durst not go near him. He attacked Mr. Heaford on Thursday, and notwithstanding a man who was threshing in a barn, came to his assistance, he was hurt so much that he lingered till the day above.
The following melancholy accident happened on Wednesday; Mr. Barton, at Anvil-Farm, near Basingstoke, Hants, sent a servant with a horse and cart to fetch his children home from a day-school in the neighbourhood, and when they were arrived within a few yards of their house, by the carelessness of the servant, the horse run along the foot-bridge, and overthrew the cart, into the river, by which accident Mr. Barton's only son, about four years of age, was killed, and three of hiss little daughters, with some other children that were in the cart, very much bruised. Mrs. Barton was the first person that heard the shrieks of the poor children, to whose relief she immediately flew; and although she is pregnant, ran into the river, four feet deep, and fetched out the girls speedily; but could not find the boy for some time, till at last (shocking to relate) she discovered him under the cart, dead. The effect which this dreadful catastrophe has had on the minds of Mr. and Mrs. Barton is better conceived then described.- The horse was drowned before he could be disengaged from the harness.
Saturday's and Sunday's Posts concluded.
Lord Grenville has signified, by letter to the Lords of the Admiralty, the King's intention: of giving to the officers who have been called forth in consequence of the late armament, a gratuity in the following proportions, viz.
Three months personal pay to the Captains and other Commissioned Officers.
Two months pay to the Masters, Surgeons, Masters Mates, Midshipmen, and Surgeons Mates.
One months pay to the Seamen and Marines.
And orders are issued in consequence to the different Commissioners at the ports where the ships are to or paid off.
Yesterday morning advice was received, by way of France, that Admiral Cornish, with the squadron under his command, was safe arrived at Madeira, after meeting with a deal of thunder and lightning, and blowing weather.
A wager of a very curious nature, and involving a great nicety of calculation, between two eminent arithmeticians, was determined on Wednesday last. The subject was the National Debt, and the question was, How many ton weight of ten pound Bank notes would be sufficient to pay it? After an accurate investigation, it was clearly proved by the umpire, that taking each Bank note at thirteen grains, being the average weight, and the National Debt two hundred and eighty millions, it would require twenty-one ton three hundred weight, or six waggon load of ten pound Bank notes to discharge it !!
Yesterday, in the Park, a man, who had a large bludgeon in his hand, was directed by one of the centinels on guard to get out of the way; the other refused to do this, and becoming riotous, was pushed by the centinel, upon which he struck him with his bludgeon; the soldier gave him two deep wounds with his bayonet, and would probably have killed him if he had not made his escape.
A tax on glass bottles and decanters, by which it is proposed that these vessels shall in future be marked with a particular stamp, and also contain full wine-measure, under a very considerable penalty, has been submitted to the consideration of the Ministry. From the general use, and great consumption of the above articles, such a tax apparently must be productive; and from the great impositions practised on the public by the present short measures, it certainly must be popular.
About eleven o'clock on Sunday night last his Majesty's ship Elephant, of 74 guns, commanded by Captain C. Thompson, lying in Plymouth harbour, and nearly dismasted, received a flash of lightening, on the head of her main-top mast, from whence it descended to the heel, and shattered it to pieces; the iron hoop on the head of the main-mast next attracted the electrick fluid, which broke and fell on the deck; from thence running downwards it tore every woodling from the mast, broke the fishes; and a mizen top-mast, which was lying on the booms, had the head of it shivered to atoms. The chain-pumps were likewise damaged, but providentially no person was hurt.
Wednesday morning a most melancholy accident happened in the Thames, nearly opposite to the pavilions in Hampton-Court Park: As a team of barge-horses, belonging to Mr. Winch, of Shepperton, were drawing a barge up the river, owing to the unusual depth and rapidity of the stream, they were overpowered, and entangled with each other; in consequence of which the eleven foremost, with the driver were unfortunately drowned. Only one, which happened to be blind, was saved.
