THURSDAY's POST.
LONDON, January 11.
THE Discovery, Capt. Vancouver, who sailed with Capt. Cook, and particularly distinguished himself as an Astronomer, has fallen down the river to take in her guns : she is destined to make a survey of the North-west coast of America. Capt. Vancouver has chosen his own officers, and has Mr. Whidboy for his master, who esteemed one of the most able marine surveyors in the navy. - This ship was to have gone some time ago, on this voyage of discovery, under the command of Capt. Roberts, but the fate of the Guardian and the Bounty has induced Government to resolve not to send a single ship again on so distant and long an expedition. Two ships are now to be sent, if not three, of which Capt. Roberts is to be Commodore : Mr. Vancouver, was Lieutenant to Capt. Roberts, has got the rank of Master and Commander; and the Midshipmen of the Discovery are made Lieutenants. Capt. Roberts will follow the Discovery in a few weeks.
In consequence of the British Government having sent two ships of war into the Pacific Ocean, the Court of Spain has given orders that two line of battle ships be immediately dispatched from the port of Cadiz into the South Seas, to settle the boundaries of the British and Spanish dominions in that quarter of the globe.
Accounts from Nova-Scotia mention that General Bendict Arnold has been charged with a scene of villainy of the blackest nature. Having by some means or other procured his store goods to be insured, he had it privately set on fire, that the insurers might be obliged to make good to him which he held up as the real value, which was upwards of �5000. This being rumoured about, Arnold sued a Mr. Hayt for defaming his character. After a trial of seventeen hours, the jury brought in a verdict for the plaintiff - damages twenty shillings !
Disturbances of a very serious kind are said to be rising in Canada; a natural consequence, perhaps, of the Revolution which has happened in a sister kingdom, the inhabitants being chiefly French. From these disturbances a separation, in the opinion of some timid persons, is to be apprehended; but there is no doubt but Ministry will interfere, and soon put a stop to any complaints which have their foundation in good sense and reason.
The United States of America are extending their Empire, and at the same time increasing the number of their States, which in a short time will be announced by public proclaimation, as Fourteen, the State of New Vermont being to be added.
Notwithstanding the liberal decree of the National Assembly in favour of those who were obliged to fly their country through principles of religion, we hear of very few that seem inclined to accept the proffered bounty. The times are too unsettled to entice a single weaver to quit Spitalfields, or induce him not to prefer his loom, in a land of freedom, to a chance of recovering a paternal estate in a kingdom where all is distrust and confusion.
Letters from Constantinople say, "The success which heretofore has crowned the arms of the Russian troops, although it has alarmed the populace, hitherto has had little effect on the Councils of the Divan. The coffers of the Grand Signor it is true, are empty, but the internal resources of this immense empire are beyond conception. A body of 60,000 Asiatic troops, for the major part well disciplined, are within two days march of this city, and it is thought will be despatched towards Jaffy, where the greater part of the Russian army lies encamped, to make a diversion in the enemy's forces, and thereby extricate the Grand Visir, who at present is in an unpleasant predicament. A peace with the Court of Petersburgh is said to be on the tapis, but it is generally thought that the haughty Catherine will not forego the advantages she has obtained, unless compelled by the interposition of some foreign power."
The arrangement of the Independent Companies is at length settled, and is as follows : Every Lieutenant who has raised 50 men is to have his rank of Captain; and if he has raised 20 men he may still have the rank of Captain, upon paying for 30 men more at ten guineas per man, and at the same proportion for any less number than 30, and short of 50; but no Lieutenant who raised less than 20 is to have his rank. Every Lieutenant who has raised 70 men is to have the appointment of his Lieutenant; and he who has raised 90 men is to appoint both Lieutenant and Ensign. The sum to be paid to make up the stipulated number required from each officer is to go towards paying the bounty offered by Government during the late armament. The Captain who gets his rank for 50 men is to indemnify his subalterns for the assistance they gave him.
Yesterday arrived at the General Post-Office, one Lisbon mail, brought to Falmouth by the Hanover packet-boat, Captain Todd, after a passage of fourteen days.

SATURDAY's POST.
LONDON, January 13.
THE Emperor of Germany, a few days since, was seized in council with a shivering, and heaviness, which, as he had been much employed that and the preceding days were supposed to be nothing more than the consequences of fatigue, and that a little rest at night would relieve him. Accordingly the next morning he found himself rather better; but in the evening was again seized with a shivering, and soon after the eruption of the small-pox appeared. The pustules, however, are of a good kind, and his Majesty is thought to be in a fair way of recovery.
On the last day of the late year there was a fog at Amsterdam so extremely dense, that the people could not see their way along the streets and avenues of the city; and persons ran against each other, even though they had lights in their hands. The accidents it has occasioned are very numerous, but the most dreadful is the number of people who have perished from falling into the canals, where they were drowned, or suffocated in the mud, before any assistance could be given them, though the cries of their distress were distinctly heard; strange as it may appear here, they reckon the number of persons, who are known to have been lost in this way, to amount already to 230.
Some negociation has recently taken place between Administration and the East-India Company, on a plan for forming all the troops employed in their settlements into Royal regiments, for which the Company are to pay the public �2000. per annum for each; his Majesty, at course, to appoint the officers.- Should this be carried into effect, the new regiments, composed of the Independent Companies, will, as soon as complete, be ordered on that service.
Fourteen British ships employed in the Southern whale fishery brought home this season 16,320 barrels of oil; thirteen American vessels, 12,107 barrels; and three French vessels, 3570 barrels.- In all 31,997 barrels.
The ordinary of the navy, as made up to the commencement of the present year, is 237 vessels, of which there are of the line 115; fifties 11; frigates (from 24 to 28 guns each) 75; sloops and cutters 36. The large ships are all laid up at Sheerness, Chatham, Portsmouth, and Plymouth, no line of battle ships being laid up in the river Thames.
Since the late promotions in the Navy, the halfpay list of the commissioned officers is increased to 2029 names, viz. 56 Admirals, 449 Captains, 163 Masters and Commanders, 1351 Lieutenants; the list of Surgeons and Masters is also very numerous.
Mrs. Billington's second agreement in Ireland is for six nights. At the conclusion of her engagements she will have received �900. which, with the profits of her benefits, nets her a clear thousand in less than two months!
The marriage of the Earl of Fauconberg with Miss Cheshyre, of Windsor, is attended with some singular circumstances. His Lordship, when very young, was at Eaton School, at which time he became deeply enamoured with Miss Cheshyre; his friends on being acquainted with the circumstances, removed him from that seminary, and sent him abroad; soon after his return, he married his late Countess, and on her demise, after an absence of 20 years, he renewed his addresses to Miss Cheshyre, now Countess of Fauconberg.
The trial of the two Miss Milwards, came on at Colchester on Monday last, and continued ten hours, in which the robbery, committed in the shop of a Draper, was clearly ascertained, and both the girls convicted.- Miss Love, a housekeeper, who lived with the father, and who had led the two young girls into the crime, by encouraging too expensive a mode of dress, was sentenced to an imprisonment of two months; the two young girls to a fortnight's confinement in respective solitary cells.
MONDAY's POST.
LONDON, January 15.
ON Wednesday last, a vessel was driven on shore at Drewstone, near Nolton, in St.Bridge's Bay, Pembrokeshire, supposed to belong to Scarborough, burthen about 200 tons, she came from St.Kitt's, laden with stores belonging to the government. The crew, and a small part of the stores are saved, but the vessel will be lost.- A shocking catastrophe happened, owing to a quantity of powder being landed on the beach from the vessel, which took fire by some old muskets being thrown inadvertently upon some pebbles near the powder; the explosion killed one young woman on the spot, another was taken away without hopes of recovery, a man appeared to have his eyes blown out and many others were dangerously wounded.
The Woolton, Robinson, from Liverpool for Virginia, was totally lost on Wednesday se'nnight, in Chester river; the crew are saved.
Owing to the late severe gales of wind, and bad weather, upwards of 400 vessels are now lying in the port of Liverpool, ready for sea.
It has rained at Paris almost every day since October last, but without any of those storms which have been so much felt in England.
The present unsettled and uncomfortable weather is found to affect the cattle as well as the human constitution. From Cambridgeshire and other counties we learn, that the horses are much disordered, and several have suddenly dropped down dead upon the road.
Forty thousand pounds are said to be depending on the event of a horse-race, at the ensuing Meeting at Newmarket.
Mr. Thelluson has lately made a purchase of Lord Kinnoul's fine estate of Brodsworth, near Doncaster, for which he gave �80,000 - It is said that this purchase was made for Mr. Neckar, though we are not inclined to believe the truth of the report.
A tradesman who lately failed for �10,000 has yielded his effects to the amount of �12. 10s. 5d to be divided amongst his creditors.
The last returns of the Excise Office, shew the number of grocers in Great Britain, to be exactly forty thousand.
This week arrived at Liverpool, the Bud, Capt. Clare, from Africa and Grenada; the Queen of Naples, Capt. Leach, from Newfoundland and Waterford; the Grange, Capt. Roberts, from Pensylvania, laden with rum, cotton, barrel staves, &c.
Mr. Daniel Cox, of Gloucester, (from whom a brown mare was lately stolen) in his very persevering endeavours to recover her, has received certain information of a systematic barter being carried on between the horse-stealers in the country, and the smugglers on the coast.- The former receive contraband articles in exchange for horses; and the smugglers by conveying the horses to France, Holland, and Flanders, escape detection, and make a very profitable trade. An Association for common defence seems expedient to counteract such deep laid schemes.- It is not altogether unworthy the consideration of the encouragers of the pernicious practice of smuggling, to reflect on all the consequences which may attend a traffic so subversive of the laws, and so injurious to the fair dealer and the state; and which perhaps, taken with all its circumstances, cannot even claim the poor apology of immediate interest.
It has been remarked, that a state is peculiarly happy which lies contiguous to another which is involved in difficulties and distress; the latter drawing away, as the mountains from the adjacent plain, the storms and tempests of adverse fortune. Such, in a singular manner, appears to be the present situation of this country, with respect to her Continental neighbours : and Mons. Calonne, in his late treatise, pays us the complement of concluding, that we shall duly improve these important relative advantages.
"Our fanatical Democrats, says he, suppose that England, who lately rivalled our power, is now jealous only of our dexterity in the various modes of enfranchisement; that she envies us the glory of having invented the Declaration of the Rights of Man; that her foresight is alarmed at the prospect of opulence, consequent on our regeneration; and that, in order to equal us, she feels it necessary to follow our example; while, in truth, adds he, that free but wise nation, satisfied with a government, which is productive of prosperity, views our extravagancies with a smile and our miseries with compassion."
A few weeks ago some persons were passing the evening at the Hercules, behind the Change, when a Bank Clerk dared a Jew that was present, to eat a pork chop, offering him a guinea as a temptation; the Levite, however, had the fear of God too much before his eyes to be so easily tempted; the Clerk finding him proof so far, went on, one by one, till he had laid ten guineas on the table; here poor human nature gave way; the Jew calmly swept the money into his pocket, called for his pork chop and eat it; the laugh rather going against the Clerk, and on reflection finding his money but badly laid out, he insisted on its being returned, talked of only joking, &c. but Moses was in earnest, he had earned the money and would keep it : an Attorney, a friend of the Clerk's, here interfering, they threatened to charge a Constable with him, and send him to the Compter, if he did not refund; all would not do, he remained obstinate, and after much ill treatment, in which the Attorney struck him, they procured a Constable and sent him to the Compter; it being Saturday, he was obliged to lie there til the Monday. On a hearing before the Lord Mayor he was immediately discharged; he commenced his action against the Clerk for false imprisonment, and against the Attorney for an assault; it came to trial before Lord Loughborough; from the first he obtained �50 damages, from the last 40s. Who in few shall dare a Jew to eat pork ! �62. 10s for eating a chop only ! but though there are few Jews but would eat a whole hog for half the money, surely the Synagogue cannot suffer such a flagrant breach of their laws to pass unnoticed.

Leeds.
MONDAY, JANUARY 17.
AT the General Quarter Sessions held for this Borough on Monday last, Isaac Brooke, and Susannah his wife, for keeping a disorderly house, were ordered to be confined in the house of correction at Wakefield, for three months;- Mary Lowden, for stealing handkerchiefs from Mr. Newcome, to be confined in a solitary cell at Wakefield one month.

Radfords, to be confined in a solitary cell at Wakefield two months; and Catherine Cammell, a vagrant, to be sent to her place of settlement.
The Chamber of Commerce in Leeds have been for some time past in correspondence with the Members for Yorkshire, concerning the trade with Spain, stating, that contrary to commercial treaties, actually subsisting between Great-Britain and Spain, fresh duties have been imposed, almost equivalent to a prohibition; those duties being reckoned according to certain descriptions of measurement, and not proportioned to the quality of the article : The Chamber of Commerce therefore earnestly requests, that his Majesty's Ministers would interpose to obtain more easy terms of entry. The Representatives, we hear, assure their constituents, that they will endeavour to have these incumbrances removed, having mentioned the subject to administration, and pressing it on their attention with all due earnestness. We have it likewise intimated to us, that it is an object Government will particularly attend to, and hope other Manufacturing Towns will make similar applications to their Members, to have this general evil remedied - Norfolk Chronicle.
At Doncaster last year there were 62 marriages; 163 baptisms, and 177 burials. - Decreased in baptisms 29, increased in burials 2.

A few days ago was married, Mr. Hirst, grocer, of Rotherham, to Miss Wright, daughter of Mr. John Wright, of Swinton.

William Sutcliffe, of Kirkburton, victualler, on his return from Huddersfield market, on Tuesday se'nnight, fell into the river near Fenneybridge, and was drowned. - His body was not found till Sunday. - The death of this unfortunate man, probably may be ascribed to the darkness of the evening, and the want of a proper fence to guard passengers from the river, which lies open to the road. Surely this will be immediately remedied.
A few days ago Robert Mackreath, Esq; (member for Ashburton) sent his annual donation of fifty pounds, to be distributed amongst the poor of his native town (Kendal) which afforded a seasonable relief to many poor families.
By the state of the Kendal Dispensary (just published) it appears that from January 1st, 1790, to January 1st, 1791, 1412 patients have been admitted, and 88 were remaining on the books from 1789; of whom 1400 have been cured, 26 relieved, and 31 have died; 3 have been discharged for being irregular, and 40 remain on the books.- Besides the general excellence of this charity, in relieving the sick poor, it is particularly worthy of observation, that of 264 patients in fevers, (in the last year) only 16 died; and that a far greater number in proportion have died of those who had not the benefit of the Dispensary.
A few days ago died, Mrs. Watson, wife of Mr. Watson, grocer, of Rotherham.
A few says since died, John Boynton Adams, Esq.; of Camblesforth-Hall, in this county.
