Arriv'd the Mails from Holland and Flanders.
BERLIN, April 6.
BY the latest Accounts from Poland the Grand Russian and Turkish Armies still remained quiet in their respective Winter Quarters, the Severity of the Weather, and extreme Backwardness of the Season, not yet permitting them to take the Field; and such is said to be the Scarcity of Forage and Provisions, throughout that whole Country, especially in those Parts which were the Theatre of War during the last Campaign, that it is believed they will not be able to move or commence any military Operations till towards the Middle of the next June.
LEGHORN, March 20. Ali Bey's fortunate Progress in the plundering of Syria and Palestine is confirmed by the last Accounts received from Cairo - Besides Jerusalem and Joppa, the Towns of Hebron, Tiberias, Casarea, Hippos and Capernaum, have surrendered to him and his Allies. About 12,000 of the Inhabitants of Mount Lebanon make Part of this united Army which is now before Damascus, and after taking that Place, is to attack Seyd, Tripoli and Aleppo.
Other Letters say, that if Ali Bey succeeds in taking Damascus, he intends going with Part of his Army to Arabia to take Mecca and Medina, against which Places Hassan Bey is marching with a considerable Body of Men.
VENICE, March 23. We have the following Account from Aleppo: "Egypt seems to recover its ancient Lustre under the Government of Ali Bey, who is at present at Grand Cairo. His General, after taking Gaza, Nazareth, Jerusalem, and Jaffa, beat the Bassa of Damascus's Army; after which, the Bassa having received a Reinforcement commanded by the Tair Omer, Lord of St.John d'Acri, determined to risk another Battle, in which he was likewise defeated. When this sad News arrived at Constantinople, eight Bassa received Orders to go immediately to the Promised Land, to prevent the Enemies farther Progress."
London, April 16.
We hear that Lord Grantham will set out on his Embassy to the Court of Spain next Week; all Matters between Great Britain and Spain being, it is said, entirely adjusted.
A Letter from Spain mentions, that the Governor of Callao is brought Prisoner to Madrid; but his Crime is a Secret.
A Letter from Lincoln says, "The Farmers in this County are obliged to sell their Sheep at any Price, for want of Grass; as a Proof of this, a Farmer sold here last Thursday, a Score for 15s a Piece, which Iast Year at this Time would have fetched 25s. each."
A few Days since, as some Farmers were drinking at an Inn near Coney in Hertfordshire, the landlord went behind the Chair of one of them, a young Man about 25 Years of Age, and with a sharp Knife cut his Throat. The young man expired instantly. The Offender is committed to Hertford Gaol, but is supposed to have been in a State of Insanity.
Matthew and Patrick Kennedy, who were capitally convicted in February Sessions, 1770, for the Murder of Bigby the Watchman, have had his Majesty's Mercy extended to them on the following Condition; Matthew to be transported for Life, and Patrick for 14 Years, which they accordingly accepted of, and received Sentence to be transported accordingly.
In Consequence of a Letter the Lord Mayor of London received from Richard Cave, Esq. Mayor of Bedford, informing him that the Corporation had unanimously voted his Lordship a Freeman of that Borough, without Fee or Reward, his Lordship returned the Letter as under:
Mr. Mayor,
I Had the Honour of receiving Yesterday by Mr. Alderman Oliver, a Copy of my Presentation to the Freedom of the Town of Bedford; and I take the earliest Opportunity of expressing a grateful Sense of the Honour conferred upon me, by you and the Gentlemen of that Corporation.
I am happy in receiving so public and honourable an Approbation of my Conduct; which was dictated to me by the Obligations under which I am bound to the Citizens of London, as their Chief Magistrate; and to the People of England, as one of their Representatives in Parliament.
If an honest and strenuous Exertion of my Zeal in Defence of their Rights, has drawn upon me the Resentment of those, who, perhaps, less attentive to the Welfare of this Kingdom, I have the Happiness to feel myself superior to their Revenge, whilst I can enjoy the secret Pleasure of a good Conscience.
As I am determined, on all Occasions to follow with the same Integrity, the greatest Lines of public Duty, I shall hope always to merit the Esteem and good Opinion of my Fellow Countrymen, and in particular of the Gentlemen of the Corporation of Bedford.
With my sincere Wishes for their Prosperity I have the Honour to remain with the greatest Respect, Mr. Mayor,
Your most faithful and devoted humble Servant, BRASS CROSBY.
From the Tower, April 13, 1771.
To JOHN WILKES, Esq.
SIR,
THAT I may be explicit as early as possible after your Desire that I should explain myself concerning the Shrievalty, I must inform you that I am determined not to serve the Office of Sheriff with you; because I really do not think from your own Declarations that your political Aims are similar to mine.
This Resolution I must communicate to the Livery if you joyn me in your Nomination.
I am, Sir, Your most humble Servant,
RICHARD OLIVER,
Tower, 11th April, 1771.
To RICHARD OLIVER, Esq.
Prince's Court, Friday, April 12.
SIR,
I DID not receive your Letter till Nine last Night, when I was in the City with my Common Council. When we were alone a very few Days ago, you asked me, if I meant to be Sheriff the ensuing Year. I answered with the Frankness of my Nature to a Friend, that if I had the Honour of being chosen, I would not decline that troublesome and expensive Office, and that, in the actual Crisis of Affairs, I really wished it, for various Reasons of great public Utility, which I am persuaded live still in your Memory. Yesterday Morning I put the same Question to you. Your verbal Answer was not explicit : Your Letter is, You say, "I am determined not to serve the Office of Sheriff with you." The Propriety of such a Declaration does not strike me. I consider it as the Duty of every Gentleman to submit to the Livery the Choice of his Colleague, and not to refuse an Office, because he disapproves of another Person, of whom his own Constituents entertain a favourable Opinion. I am ready to serve the Office of Sheriff with you, Sir, or any other Gentleman given me by the Livery as a Colleague, should they think proper to elect me. You add, "because I really do not think from your own Declarations, that your political Aims are similar to mine." My Declarations have always been explicit : my Aims fair and honourable. I am satisfied that your's are no less upright. I started much earlier than you in political Life. I gave my public Creed on several Occasions. You have done the same. Our Sentiments have always coincided, altho' our Expressions have varied. How then can our political Aims not be similar ? I wish to know in what they differ. I will at any Time yield to the Conviction of superior Reason.
You conclude, "this Resolution I must communicate to the Livery if you joyn me in your Nomination." I never entertained the Idea of any Nomination proceeding from myself. If I an called upon, I will serve, but I shall never dictate to the Livery what they should do. I shall likewise not fail to communicate to so respectable a Body every Transaction of a public Nature, respecting the Rights or Interests, and I will obey their Commands.
I am, Sir, Your most humble Servant,
JOHN WILKES.
LIVERPOOL. April 12. The following Circumstance happened here lately: One Hancock was carried before the Mayor, on Suspicion of having broken open the Chamber Door of a Scotchman, who put up at the Mill-stone in Dale-street, and stealing out of his Bags 200 Guineas and Five Watches; put no Evidence appearing on the Examination, the Man was discharged. It appears since, that he had confessed the Matter to the Scotchman before his being brought up to be examined, and had given him a Note for �100 not to say any Thing against him : Upon this Note the Scotchman has arrested Hancock, and he is now in our Gaol.
FRIDAY's POST.
London, April 17.
YESTERDAY the further Consideration on the East-India Recruiting Bill came on according to Order before the Lower Assembly : It is now agreed that 1600 Men shall be raised, 1000 in England, and 600 in Ireland; but the chief of the Debate Yesterday, and which held for several Hours was, whether the Men should be raised by Beat of Drum, or Sound of Bagpipe; Mr. Whitworth was very warm for the Bagpipe.
A Paper of the most daring and licentious Nature, we hear, was found Yesterday Morning pasted on the Door of a certain Great Man's House in the Neighbourhood of Westminster.
Lord Chesterfield was with Lord Halifax, when his Lordship received Mr. Alderman Wilkes's Letter, respecting the Discharge of John Wheble, apprehended under the King's Proclamation. Lord Halifax seemed a good deal confused, and mentioned a Letter from Mr. Wilkes. Lord Chesterfield said that he was in the Case of poor Eloisa,
Soon as thy Letter trembling, I disclose,
That well known Name awakens all my Woes.
POPE.
Some flaming Patriots, Eastward of this City, having (over their Cups) displayed their political Talents, in disputing the power of the House of Commons to send for Persons, and blusteringly declared they would by no Means submit to such Authority, in the Course of Iast Week received Penny Post Letters, signed Fletcher Norton, Speaker, ordering their Attendance on that House, which, with much fear and trembling, and putting on their best Cloaths, they complied with; but waiting till the House broke up, and not being called, they in Return Home called on Mr. Serjeant Glynn to be further informed; when producing their Letters, he discovered and told them it was a mere Forgery. They have since found it to have been in a Joke by some of their Neighbours, to fathom the Depth of their Penetration, and to try their boasted Resolution.
It is said, that the Sum of �2000. is already deposited for the Use of Mr. Wilkes, in Case he should be chosen Sheriff, which is more than sufficient to answer the Charges, the same being estimated at no more than �1400.
We hear that if Mr. Oliver should be chosen Sheriff along with Mr. Wilkes, he is determined to resign his Gown immediately, and pay the Fine, rather than serve the Office along with that truly noble Patriot.
Mr. Oliver's Behaviour to Mr. Wilkes is not an Instance of Gratitude. He owes his Alderman's Gown, and his Seat in Parliament, entirely to Mr. Wilkes; yet he and his Friends mention, by way of Triumph, that the Olivers have advanced about �1000. towards paying the Debts of the Patriot. They ought to be silent on that Head; for it is plain, that, according to the late high Prices of Seats, the Billingsgate Alderman owes still �2000. to his Maker.
It was reported, a few Days ago, that Lord North was to resign. The News is too good to be true. He has tasted the Sweets of Office; and the very same Reason, which makes our patriotic Lords wish to get in, induces him to keep them out. Besides, he sees, from many lamentable Examples before his Eyes, that it is much easier to keep a Place, than to take it again by Storm.- There are no Hopes, in short, of his speedy Resignation.
They write from Leghorn, that when the Post left Constantinople, an Insurrection was beginning in that City, on account of the great Success of Ali Bey against the Turkish Arms in Egypt and Syria.
Yesterday the Earl of Huntingdon and Sir Harry Hearne set out on three Years Tour through France, Italy, and other Parts of Europe.
It is no less remarkable than true, that the Number which obtained the valuable Cabinet, lately in the Possession of Mr. Ruspini, was, among some others, sent down to Major Crawford at Bath, who bought several Tickets, and cutting the fortunate Number off, sent it back to the Proprietor, who sold it to the Right Hon. the Countess of Rochford, who several Times after was going to make a Present of it to some of her Friends, but, from some unaccountable Circumstance, luckily preserved it.
Yesterday Morning two Ballad-Singers were taken up by the Constables near Charing-Cross, for singing seditious Songs, and carried before the Magistrates in Bow-street.
On Monday Morning came on, before Mr. Baron Adams, at the Sessions House in the Old Bailey, the Trial of Elizabeth Barter, indicted for the Murder of her Bastard Child. - Jonathan Wathen, Surgeon, deposed, that he was sent for to the House of Mr. Lang, of great Winchester-street, (Master to the Prisoner), on the 26th of February last, that he then saw a Male Child, which was taken out of a washing Copper, in a Shed of the back Yard, the Top of which was partly covered with Ice; that on his Examination of the Child, he found it to have its Throat cut almost through, and only suspended by the fat Muscles, and the upper Part of the Spine of the Back. Having asked the Prisoner whether she was the Mother of the Child, she did not deny it; but said, in her Pain she did not know what she did. Being interrogated by the Court, whether the Child was born alive, or whether its being mangled in that Manner may not happen by a Separation in bad Labour? He replied, as to the first he could not be positive, as all the Line he had to go by was the Child's being full grown; but as to the latter, it was impossible but what it must be done by an Instrument.- This was confirmed by two other Witnesses.
The Prisoner being called upon for her Defence, said, "that being suddenly taken ill in the Night and her Pains being so exceeding sharp, she was insensible what she might have done.
Several Persons were called to her Character, and amongst the Rest her Master, who gave her that of an honest, industrious, humane Woman.
Mr. Baron Adams then gave his Charge to the Jury, when, after recapitulating, the above Evidence, he observed, " if they believed the Prisoner at the Bar to have killed the Infant premeditatedly, or, with Malice aforethought, that then the was guilty of Murder, in the strictest Sense; but if, on the Contrary, they were not satisfied about the Child's being born alive, or credited her own Account, that being taken ill in the Night, and losing her Senses through Pain, she committed this Action, then they would acquit her." The Jury withdrew for about a Quarter of an Hour, and brought in their Verdict, Not Guilty.
John Commings was convicted of Perjury in the Evidence he gave last Admiralty Sessions, on the Trial of Capt. Broad, for the Murder of Thomas Scott, on board the King David, of Bristol, for the Coast of Africa, of which the Captain was acquitted; Commings is to be imprisoned for one year in Newgate, and afterwards to be transported for seven Years.
At the last Sessions at the Old Baily 90 Prisoners have been tried, five of whom received Sentence of Death; two were cast for Transportation for 14, and 34 for seven Years; six were branded, and two whipped.
Summary of what passed on the Bill for better Recruiting the Troops of the East-India Company.
BY this Bill, it was proposed that they should have 1500 Natives and 500 Foreigners constantly kept up, and Officered by his Majesty, in the same manner as the regular Forces; and on its having been proposed to be committed, several Gentlemen spoke in the following Order.
Col. Burgoyne said, that though he did not oppose the Bill on professional, he must oppose it on constitutional Principles, as it gave the East India Company the Power of paying Troops, that were in some measure at the Disposal of the Crown; a Thing which the House had always reserved to itself as a necessary Controul; as it would throw the best men into the Hands of the Company, on Account of the greater Pay which they gave; as it would create an Opposition between the Company's Troops, and the Army; as there was already a great Scarcity of men, those Few that has been raised upon the late Augmentation being the very worst that had ever been seen.
Sir Geo. Colebrooke said, that the Bill was opposed by some Gentlemen on professional Principles; that they were prejudiced, and ignorant of the State of the Case; that there were but two material Objections against the Bill, viz. its throwing the Power of Controul out of the Hands of the Commons, and the Introduction of Foreigners into the Heart of the Kingdom; that both these Objections would be entirely removed making the Bill annual instead of triennial, and by disciplining the Troops, or at least the Foreigners, in some Island on the Coast.
The Hon. Tho. Townsend said, that he could not be supposed to act on professional Principles, because he had not the Honour to belong to any Profession; and yet he opposed the Bill, because he could not see any Reason why the Company might not raise their Troops without, as well as with, the Assistance of the Crown, and that he did not relish such an intimate Correspondence between the Crown and East India Company; that at present they were obliged to put up with the very worst of Men, who were good enough to be sent to their Grave in such unhealthful Climates; but that by and by the very Flower of our Youth would be swallowed up in that Sink; that the State of our Population was not very flattering, that the Species decreased, and that we ought to keep as many as possible for the Defence of Britain.
Lord Howe said, that he could never consent to the levying of Foreigners, as the East India Company had already too many foreign Mercenaries in their Army; that he was informed by Gen. Smith, that in some of the late Battles he was in Doubt whether the Seapoys, who make the Bulk of the Company's Forces; would not desert to the Enemy; that our East India Affairs were greatly mismanaged; that the King's Representative in that Quarter commanded only a Squadron of two Frigates.
Mr. Edmund Burke said, that he was as willing as any Man to contribute to the Support of the East India Company, as the Trade to the East and West were the two great Pillars on which the Nation leaned; but that he saw too many Objections against this Bill, to think it advantageous for the Company and for Great Britain, whose joint Interests ought to be reconciled; that he could not allow that our Population was in a State of Decrease; that, on the Contrary, it increased at a prodigious Rate; (and this he proved to the Satisfaction of every Body) that it was proposed to levy Irish Roman Catholics Men, into whose Hands it would be as dangerous to put Arms as into those of Foreigners; and that, instead of rendering the Situation of those poor and oppressed People better, it would render it worse, by sharpening the Edge of Persecution against them in that Country, &c.
[It was afterwards agreed to leave out the Foreigners.]
SATURDAY's POST.
LONDON, April 18.
THIS Day was Determined in the Court of Common-Pleas, the Action upon the Case for Libel and defamatory Words, Onslow against Horne, as by Adjournment the last Term.
Lord Chief Justice De Grey, after recapitulating the Whole of the Case, and the Arguments used by both Councils last Term, observed, that one general Rule was to be observed in Cases of defamatory Words,- and that was, when the Words so spoken were obnoxious to Prosecution and punishment; yet even this general Rule was subject to Limitation. - For instance, says he, to charge a Trader with Bankruptcy, a Man of Profession with incapacity, or a Person in a public Office with a Breach of Trust. - These specific Charges are certainly actionable, because the Damages are obvious. - But let us see how these Facts will operate on the Case in Point.- At a meeting at Epsom on the 26th of June, 1769, to instruct the Representatives of the County, the Defendant said, - As for instructing one of our Members to obtain Redress, we may as well instruct the Winds, the Water, or the Air; for should he (Mr. Onslow) promise his Assistance, I will not believe him.- Now here is no Charge of the Violation of his Oath as a Member of Parliament, or any Charge whereby he may suffer Damages. The Sentence contains no more than he believes Mr. Onslow will not keep his Word : For these Reasons I am of Opinion, no Judgement can be given. The rest of the Judges were of the same Opinion.
We hear that the Friends of Liberty, intend to nominate Frederick Bull, Esq. a Gentleman of great Fortune and unexceptionable Character, to be one of the Sheriffs of this City and County along with Mr. Alderman Wilkes, and that Mr. Bull has declared his Resolution of serving that Office if he should be chosen. That Gentleman is a Member of the Bill of Rights, and was chosen Treasurer to the Society last Tuesday.
Bets were this Day upon 'Change Five to One, that Mr. Wilkes will not be chosen Sheriff this Year.
An Express is arrived from the Island of St.Croix, in America, which brings the News of the Discovery of a Gold Mine, the vein is eleven Feet wide solid. Four Expresses are dispatched for Copenhagen with this great News for the King of Denmark. The mine is on the Estate of Baron Von Britton.
There are Letters in Town from New England which mention, that Twelve Sail of Bermudian Vessels had been lost in a hard Gale of Wind in the Bahama Channel, and that Commodore Gambier's Squadron at Nova Scotia had suffered greatly.
There is Advice from Hanover, that two Students having had a Quarrel that ended In a Duel, in which one of them was killed, the Regency have made a Law, that for the future Duelling shall be punished with Death.
It is said a Stop will shortly be put to the Exportation of all Kinds of military Stores (except those on the Government Account) to North America or the West Indies.
Last Saturday one Redick, a Carpenter, giving Evidence at the Old Bailey against Griffin, convicted of receiving Timber, knowing it to be stolen, was asked by the Judge, Where he made the Bargain? He replied, At the Wilkes's Head. He was then asked, What he gave a Load: And said, Forty Five Shillings. Mr. Wilkes being on the Bench, it caused a very great Laugh.
Hewitt the Coachman, for the Murder of the young Woman in Fig Lane, who was to have been executed this Day, received a Respite last Night for 14 Days.
Yesterday a Steward belonging to a Nobleman near Kensington, shot himself through the Body with a Pistol, and died immediately.
Letters from Paris mention, that twenty Ships of the Line have lately received Orders to be unrigged and laid up in the different Sea Ports of France.
It is pretty certain, notwithstanding the M--- Love for Secrets, that some Fracas has happened at the Russian Court, the Consequence of which is, that Lord Cathcart is now on his actual Return to England.
The Seahorse Dutch Man of War, that is arrived at Portsmouth, has brought Home near a Million of Money in Dollars, for the Use of the Merchants here, which is expected at the Bank To-morrow.
Friday Night a Gentleman went to the Bell Inn in Holborn, bespoke a Place in one of the early Stages, and went, as was supposed, to Bed; but next morning, at Five o'Clock, he was found dead, by the Chamberlain, with his Cloaths on sitting in a Chair.
A few Days since died, at Hartmore, near Devizes, Mr. Henry Axford: He was remarkable for having lost his Speech in the Year 1740, in Consequence of catching a violent Cold after dancing at Warminster, and was dumb for five Years after, when dreaming one Night, that he was falling into a Furnace of boiling Wort; he was so terrified, that he screamed out, and instantly recovered his Speech, which he happily retained during his Life.
Last Night a most barbarous Murder was committed in a Field, near Bethnal-green Workhouse, on Mr. Clark, Pattern-drawer, in Artillery-lane for having been an Evidence against Esterman, one of the Cutters, who was executed some Time ago. A large Body of Weavers met with him in the above Field about six o'Clock, and surrounded him. As they dragged him about and stamped on his Body, he begged Permission to say his Prayers, which was granted, him; but during the Time they pelted him with Stones and Brickbats. They tormented the poor Man in this Manner some Time, cutting him with Knives, till at last with the Loss of Blood, and the many Wounds and Bruises he had received all over his Body, which made him a shocking Spectacle, he expired by a Blow from a large Brick, which hit him with great Violence over the Head. Nobody dared to interpose in his Behalf, lest they should share the same Fate. He had previous Notice of their Intention, and was therefore armed with Pistols, but could not make use of them.
A Drayman was observed to be remarkably active in the murder of Mr. Clarke; he endeavoured to put hot Grains in the Deceased's mouth, and hit him several Blows, particularly one that beat out one of his Eyes.
Three men were apprehended last Night by Sir John Fielding's men, on Suspicion of the murder of Mr. Clarke: there are eighty men, well armed in search of the Offenders; whence it is hoped that the Perpetrators of this horrid Crime wills soon be brought to Light.
Wednesday last, at the Theatre Royal at Edinburgh, was played the Clandestine Marriage, the last Play for this Season.Mr. Woodward play'd Lord Ogilby, and was received with that Applause his Merit so much deserves. After the Play he spoke the following Address, with a Propriety suited to the Occasion. We are assured Mr. Woodward received �260 at his two Benefits, the strongest Mark of the public Approbation.
The Curtain drops - the Hour of Strut is o'er.
Woodward's Himself, and Fiction is no more;
Who oft, in various Shapes, with flutt'ring Heart,
Has anxious try'd to please in every Part,
Whose cold Essays your warm Indulgence met,
Who never can, nor never will forget.
Prate as they List, and scribble as they will;
Receive him you, but as your Servant still;
Justice his Armour, fears not Tougue nor Quill.
Keeps firm his Ground, his Force with other tries,
Nor sneaks away, nor from his Colours flies:
Who bends with Gratitude for Favours past,
And hopes those Favours will not be the last.
MONDAY's POST.
London, April 20.
THE bringing up by Habeas Corpora, the Lord Mayor and Alderman Oliver Yesterday to the Common Pleas, though agreed on by the court and Council on Thursday last, was further put off on the rising of the Court the same Day, least the Arguments might break in upon the Time of the Judges, who were summoned (Friday) for the House of Lords, at One o'Clock Mr. Serjeant Glynn is to give Notice to the Court, when it will suit his Lordship to attend, which is now positively determined to be on Monday next.

After which the said Gentlemen presented the Lord Mayor and Mr. Oliver with the following Address :
WE, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens of the City of Worcester in Common Council assembled, acknowledge with the warmest Gratitude, the firm and generous Support which you have given on a late Occasion to the Laws of your Country. We saw with Indignation and Astonishment those Laws invaded under the specious Pretext of Privilege, and blushed to think Men of Weight and Influence could be found, who were daring enough to advise a Measure, which besides the Oppression of Individuals, has a Tendency to subvert all Law. As Fellow-Subjects, to whom the Laws of their Country are equally dear and valuable, we most earnestly intreat you to persevere in this Conduct, being persuaded, as well from that Spirit of Resentment which has constantly animated our Countrymen, when their Liberties are at Stake, as from the Influence of your Example, that the Laws will soon recover their proper Vigour, and that no Privilege can long screen from Punishment, Men who by controlling Magistrates in the legal Exercise of their Power, and under the solemn Obligations of Oaths, have maliciously endeavoured to weaken their Force. --- The Firmness and Magnimity which you have resisted these Attacks, cannot fail of endearing you to your Country; and as a small Testimony of our Regard, we beg you to have the Honour of inrolling you in the Number of our Citizens.

Prince Gallitzin, the Russian Minister at the Hague, has received a Letter from Count Romanzow, dated March 15, giving an Account of his having taken the Town and Fortress of Guirgiu, on the Danube, which was defended obstinately by 10,000 Turks, and covered by two Intrenchments, from both of which they were driven, with the Loss of 4000 men killed; after which the Remainder retired to the Castle for several Days, when a Magazine of Powder blowing up, the Remainder, amounting to about 3000, on Account of the Want of Provisions were suffered to join the main Body of their Army.

At a Time when Famine is making daily Approaches in this Nation, can a future Age believe that the Temple of Luxury, Profusion, Riot, and Dissipation, is filled with Votaries, acting their several silly Parts. in splendid Mummeries? That instead of assisting the Thousands now in Want of the Necessaries of Life, the Soho Tables are filled with 700 Covers of the most costly Viands. Unfeeling Wretches ! lost to all Sense of the present Miseries of their Fellow Creatures, even in the Reign of George the Pious. Blush Grandeur, blush !

A Letter received on Monday last from Dorsetshire mentions, that one Grazier there lost 600 Lambs out of 800, by the Severity of the Weather.
It is a Certainty known to every Farmer, that a backward Spring will always produce the best Crops in such a variable Climate as England, which is frequently one Day a hard Frost, and the next as warm as in June, particularly in the Month of April, when the fruits of the Earth are setting.
It is hoped and expected, that the Crop of Corn this Season will be as fine as has been known these four Years, notwithstanding the present Appearance, the Corn in the Ground not having received Damage from any Inundations, therefore it must be sound.
The following extraordinary Paragraph is taken from the York Courant dated April 16. "Last Wednesday Morning a Gentleman's Servant in this City had occasion to go into the Kitchen before the Family were up, where he saw a Cat lying upon a Table, which he knew had Kittens: His Curiosity led him to take her up to see how many she had, but to his great Surprize found six young Rats (a little bigger than Mice) sucking her. He took them away, but she pulled them to her again with her Feet, and when he took them quite from her she leaped in his Face, so desirous was she of preserving the Brood. What is more remarkable, the same Cat is a very good one at destroying Rats and Mice. Her Kittens and the Dam of the Rats were found dead; so it is supposed the old Rat had killed the Kittens, and the Cat had killed the Rat, and had taken the young Rats to suck her. The Servant threw the Rats to the other Cats, who devoured them immediately."

BAUME DE VIE,
By the KING'S PATENT.
THE unequalled Virtues of this most excellent Medicine, are now universally acknowledged. It is a fact well known, that the BAUME is administered by many of the Faculty, in complicated Cases, where every other Method, in common practice, has proved ineffectual. The Introduction of it into this Country, has been the providential Means of preserving the Lives of Thousands. Its great powers in restoring and fortifying the Stomach and expelling bilious Matter, and its cordial, attenuating, and antiseptic Qualities, may easily account for its Efficacy in the Gout, Scurvy, Rheumatism, Jaundice, Agues, and particularly all those cruel Disorders that attack the STOMACH and BOWELS, which, though different in Appearance, are generally derived from the same Source. With the same Confidence we assert, that this Medicine has not its Equal in all FEMALE DISORDERS; or as a RESTORATIVE in General; and as a preventative of the ill consequences arising from contagious Air.
To prevent the pernicious consequences of a spurious Sort being obtruded on the public, the Bottles are each signed by Mr. BECKET, one of the proprietors; and Mr. NICOLL, as Vender; the counterfeiting of which being Felony, will be prosecuted accordingly.
This admirable Family Medicine is sold by Appointment of the Proprietors, by W. Nicoll, in St.Paul's Church Yard, London; Messrs. Leake, and Taylor, Bath; Cadell and Brown, Bristol; Trevor, Bridgewater ; Holder, Cirencester; Hancock, Frome; Cruttwell, Oakingham; Cruttwell and Goadby, Sherborne; Carter, Southampton; and Anderdon, Taunton; at 1s. the Bottle, with good Allowance for charitable Uses, or to sell again.
Of whom may be had, Price only Six Pence,

LADY's MAGAZINE.
That the Public may not be imposed upon, by a false, injurious, and malicious Advertisement, signed John Wheble, in which he pretends to complain of the great Injustice he has received from the present Publishers of the Lady's Magazine; we think it incumbent upon us, as Proprietors and Publishers of that Work, to submit the following Affidavit to the Publick, by which they will be enabled to form a proper Judgement of the Probity, Integrity, and singular Modesty of the said John Wheble.
ROBINSON and ROBERTS.
Pater-noster-Row, April 9, 1771.
JOHN COOTE, of Pater-noster-Row, London, maketh Oath, That he this Deponent having, on or about the Month of August last, formed a Plan for a Lady's Magazine, he engaged an Author, Engraver, Printer, &c. to carry it into Execution; and applied to John Wheble, Bookseller, in Pater-noster-Row, who very willingly agreed to publish the Work solely for this Deponent. And this Deponent farther saith, That about the Time the first Number was published, the said John Wheble, applied to this Deponent, requesting a small Share in the said Lady's Magazine, which this Deponent absolutely refused; declaring at the same Time, that he was determined to be the sole Proprietor. And this Deponent further saith, That the said John Wheble published the Numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, of the said Magazine, for and on Account of this Deponent, (the said John Wheble being only the Publisher or Agent for the Deponent) and accounted to this Deponent from Time to Time for the Numbers he had sold, after deducting what is usually paid by the Proprietor for publishing, and some few trifling incidental Expences. And this Deponent saith, that he hath sold the Property or Copy Right of the said Magazine, to Messrs. Robinson and Roberts, in Pater-noster-Row, for a valuable Consideration. And this Deponent further saith, That so far from the said John Wheble's being laboriously employed in the Perfection (as he calls it) of the said Magazine, that he had no Share in the conducting it any otherwise than as Publisher, and very seldom knew any Part of the Contents, 'till the Numbers were delivered from the Printer, by this Deponent's Order, to be sold upon his Account; nor has the said John Wheble so much as drawn up a single Advertisement for the said Magazine; but they were all prepared by this Deponent, though that Department is frequently submitted to the Management of the Publisher. And, lastly, this Deponent saith, that the said John Wheble, has not, nor ever had, any Share or Property whatsoever in the said Magazine. And, lastly, this Deponent saith, that the said John Wheble, after being informed that this Deponent had disposed of the Copy Right of the said Magazine to Messrs. Robinson and Roberts, to continue him the Publisher of the said Magazine, or, at least, that he might be permitted to publish the next Number for them; in Consequence of which, this Deponent did apply for that purpose to Messrs. Robinson and Roberts, who peremptorily refused to comply with his Request.
JOHN COOTE.
Sworn before me, at the Guildhall, London, 9th April, 1771.
RICHD. GLYN.
The LADY's MAGAZINE.
WHEREAS it is asserted by Mr. John Coote, that the Plan of the Lady's Magazine having been formed by him, the Publisher John Wheble acted merely as his Agent, and sold it only for his Benefit; having himself no Share whatever in the Property of the Work; which is now transferred, together with the Publication and Copy-Right, to Robinson and Roberts.
To this I beg Leave, as the Original Publisher, to reply; that Mr. Coote, in disposing of his own Property in the Lady's Magazine, had no Right whatever to dispense with the Engagements he prevailed on me to make with the Public, for the Continuation of it.
That Mr. Coote was the Proprietor, as he calls himself, in as much as it was printed at his Expence, is certain. I lay no Claim to any part of Mr. Coote's property; but as I, and not Mr. Coote, stand engaged for the Execution of the plan proposed in my Name to the public, I cannot but think myself accountable for the future Conduct of the Work, and bound in Duty to that public to perform the promises I have made it.
As to the Insinuation that the publisher of a Magazine may have no Concern in the compilation of it, when the Correspondence which supports it is addressed only to him, and he is answerable both in person and property for every Thing inserted in it, it is too gross a pretext to pass on the most Undiscerning. At the same Time the Case of a publisher is hard indeed, of he is to exert his Interest and Industry to raise a new publication into Esteem, and is then not only to have its Emoluments wrested from him, but to risk his Credit by being represented as the Instrument of another's Imposition : For what is it but an Imposition both on the Publisher and the public, if a presuming proprietor thus takes upon him to put it out of the power of the former to fulfil his Engagements with the latter; and for a present pecuniary Consideration becomes totally indifferent whether they are fulfilled or not. What is it but obtaining the Favour of the public on false pretences, and turning it to private profit, without any Regard to the conditions of the Obligation ?
The Original Publisher begs Leave to assure the Ladies, he entertains a very different Sense of the Favours conferred on him; and, as his credit is so nearly concerned in discharging the Obligations he is laid under in Return, he flatters himself that, notwithstanding Mr. Coote has been pleased to take on himself the sole Merit of having hitherto furnished their Entertainment, he shall be able to convince them of the contrary, by preventing their being in any wise sensible to that proprietor's Defection from their Services. In the mean Time he takes the Liberty of assuring his Fair Correspondents, that he shall never presume, after so sordid an Example, to sell Copy Right of their voluntary Productions before he receives them, or drive so ungrateful a Traffic with the Indulgence of the public.
JOHN WHEBLE.
To the Lady's Magazine, No. IX. which will be published on the First of May, will be prefixed a more particular Reply to the Allegations of the late and present pretenders to the property in that Work; by which our Fair Readers will be enabled to form a judgement of the Candour and Capacity of Mr. Coote, and the singular Sagacity, as well as Probity, of Mess. Robinson and Roberts.

For COUGHS, HOARSENESSES, &c.
PECTORAL LOZENGES of TOLU,
prepared and sold by T. GREENOUGH, Apothecary, at the King's Arms and Pestle and Mortar, No 7, in Ludgate-street, London, Price 1s. the Box.
Which contain all the softening and healing Virtues of the celebrated BALSAM if TOLU; and are the pleasante[st] and most effectual Remedy of the Kind in all Coughs, Hoarsenesses, sore Throats, and Defluxions on the Lungs, healing the Rawness and Soreness of the Breast, promoting the Expectoration of the tough Phlegm, and affording great Relief in Asthmatic Complaints, and Shortness of Breath. They are likewise very beneficial in Consumptions, are not cloying to the Stomach, but rather create an Appetite.
The great Esteem these Lozenges have acquired, having induced several Persons to attempt selling a Counterfeit Sort, against one of whom, and eminent Chymist, a Verdict was on Dec.9, 1769, obtained, in the Court of King's Bench, with considerable Damages; and others are now under Prosecution. The Public are requested to observe, that none are Genuine but what have the following Inscription of the Lid of the Box : Pectoral Lozenges, prepared by T. Greenough, Chymist and Apothecary, at No.7, in Ludgate-Street, from Balsam of Tolu.
Sold also (by Appointment of the Proprietor) by J. Keene, Printer, and Miss Purdie, Perfumer, in Bath; Miss Farley and Mr. Cocking in Bristol; Miss Anderdon at Taunton; Mr. Crouch, and Messrs. Harold and Smith at Marlborough.
N.B. Any Shopkeepers of Credit in any of the Towns through which this Paper circulates, who are inclinable to deal in the above Article, may on Application to Mr. Greenough, have their Names added to this Advertisement.
N.B. Nothing can he a stronger Proof or the real Efficacy of these Lozenges, than the many Attempts that have been made to counterfeit them; and, as in a recent one, the same Name of Pectoral Lozenges of Tolu has been made use of, in order to occasion the Unwary to take them for these; it becomes necessary for Mr. GREENOUGH to declare, that his true Pectoral Lozenges of Tolu, which, from the Experience of several Years have acquired the highest Reputation, are NOT SOLD either by P. Page or A. Jolly at Bath; nor by Mr. Davis or Mrs Wallis at Bristol : Whoever therefore buys any at either of those Places may be sure they are NOT HIS.
