From the LONDON GAZETTE, July 4.
WHITEHALL, July 4
THE King has been pleased to grant to Inigo Freeman, of Ratton, in the county of Sussex, Esq; and his issue, his Royal licence and authority to assume and take the surname of Thomas only, and bear the arms of Thomas, in compliance with the last will of Sir George Thomas, late of Ratton aforesaid, Baronet, deceased.

LONDON, THURSDAY, July 4.
Lord Keppel is shortly to return to England; the air of Italy and France having perfectly re-established his Lordship's health.
Sir Guy Carleton takes his passage to Quebec in the Perscus frigate, of 28 guns, commanded by his Royal Highness Prince William-Henry, who is going for a station to that part of the globe.
On Saturday last the Prince of Wales was presented by Mr. Goach with a beautiful Hyaena. This extraordinary animal was brought over by Mr. Gooch in the Lord Camden -East-Indiaman, and is the only beast of the species that has been brought over since those presented to George the II. about the year 1750. His Highness was pleased to express much satisfaction at receiving so rare a present, and ordered great care to be taken of him in the Tower.
:
Miss Burney, daughter of Dr. Burney, is appointed dresser to the Queen, in the room of Mrs. Haggadore, who is gone to Germany.
Saturday last the Hon. Mr. Tuston, brother of Lord Thanet, was drowned in the Thames, at Milbank, as he was bathing with a few of his school-fellows.
Yesterday the following gentlemen were summoned to give evidence at the bar of the House of Lords, on the St. Eustatius affair, viz. Evan Nepean, Esq. Under Secretary to Lord Sydney; W. Pollock, Esq. First Clerk to Lord Sydney; William Knox, Esq. Under Secretary to the late Lord George Germaine, when Secretary of State.
There are various reports in circulation, concerning this very singular matter. But the most impartial account seems to be the following :-When Lord Rodney and General Vaughan seized upon St. Eustatius, they likewise seized and confiscated the property of many individuals. And upon searching the houses, and examining the books and papers of such individuals, they found, in those books and papers, what they judged to be sufficient authorities for such seizures and confiscations. And they sent home all those papers and books of accounts, to be lodged in the Secretary of State's office for the American department, as vouchers, or documents, in justification of their conduct. And these books and papers were all received at the office: that fact is said to be admitted. Since signing of the definitive treaty of peace, several actions have been brought by various individuals against Lord Rodney and General Vaughan, to recover their property seized and confiscated at St. Eustatius. Lord Rodney and General Vaughan, being desirous of producing the abovementioned books and papers in bar of all such actions, have, upon enquiry, been informed, that none of those books and papers are to be found in the office.
The reports respecting this very singular transaction go farther :- It is said, that during the time that the Marquis of L-- was Secretary of State, the several papers and books in question were under the inspection of Mr. S--, who was employed to arrange and place them in proper order; and that they were also examined by Mr. J---s (a well-known friend to the Americans), and have been since, or about that time taken away.
Yesterday Messrs. Serjeant Walker and Grosse abandoned their rule to shew cause why the judgment in the suit Fox against Corbet should not be set aside. As they do not bring a writ of error, their client must pay the money immediately.
SATURDAY's POST.

COPENHAGEN, June 20.
ADVICE is received that the Ducal castle of Glucksbourg, the usual residence of the Duke of Brunswick-Bevern, was entirely destroyed by fire on the 31st of last month, together with all the out-buildings.
LONDON, THURSDAY, July 6.
HOUSE of LORDS.
WEDNESDAY, July 5. The House in a committee went through the ship-owners bill.
In a committee on Mr. Wilberforce's bill, by which it is enacted that the bodies of persons convicted of murder, rape, burglary, &c. should be delivered to a surgeon for dissection,
Lord Loughborough opposed the bill, as disgraceful to the code of criminal law, and unjust in its regulations, which lost sight of all distinction between crimes of very different magnitude. Burglary and murder, for instance, should never be subjected promiscuously to the same punishment. His Lordship therefore moved, that the bill should be read a third time on this day three months.
Lord Sydney coincided, with there sentiments; after which Lord Loughborough's motion passed nem. dif.
The order of the day being read for the second reading of the St Eustatius Bill,
Lord Rodney mentioned formally to the House the loss of some papers, lately the subject of much discussion, which were sent to the Secretary of State's office, but which could not now be found. This loss was as great, his Lordship stared, as it was unaccountable. They tended very materially to substantiate the charge of treasonable correspondence, by which capture was justified.
To prove this fact, his Lordship produced an affidavit made by himself; and also Mr. Knox, who had been then in office. This Gentleman, stated, that the papers had been given to a Mr. Savage, an American Loyalist, who with some other gentlemen was to make a short abstract of their contents. Since that time he was ignorant in what manner they had been disposed of.
The counsel were then called to the bar. Mr. Pigot and Mr. Burke were heard against, and Mr. Erskine and Mr. Dallas in favour of the bill; after which the question was put to describe the second reading of the bill for two months, which was carried without a division.
Lord Rodney then rose, and solemnly pledged himself to the House, to investigate this business to the bottom, by a parliamentary enquiry early the next session.
Earl Bathurst expressed his satisfaction at the noble Lord's intentions. He thought the matter ought not to rest here. The annals of parliament, he avowed, did not record a more gross violation of trust, than that which the evidence at the bar had proved; and he had no hesitation in saying, that the person was guilty of a high crime and misdemeanor.
Yesterday came on before the Lords Commissioners of Appeals, two causes, against Lord Rodney, General Vaughan, and other captors of the Eustatia - Mr. Lindon, and Mr. IngramCamden, Grantly, and Mulgrave.
It formerly used to be the custom of the India Company to send every year a considerable sum in specie to the East-Indies to discharge the debts contracted on their account, but their trade is now on so much better a footing, that hereafter there will not be occasion for a sixpenny piece, as the remittances are to be made in goods, which will be of great service to our different manufactures.
On Friday last an important question was determined in the Court of King's Bench, in an action brought by Nathaniel Gundry, Esq. against Mr. Sturt's huntsman, for a trespass, in riding through his fields, and leaping his fences, &c. The huntsman pleaded that he was following his master's hounds in the pursuit of a fox moved on other lands, which he contended was a justification of the trespass. Mr. Gundry demurred to this plea, and denied it to be law; but the Court, without hearing the huntsman's counsel, were clearly of opinion that the plea was good, and gave judgment for the defendant.
MONDAY's POST.
(By Express from London)
From the LONDON GAZETTE, July 8.
BANKRUPTS, Stephen Jones, late of Old-street, St.Luke, Middlesex, leather-seller.- Benjamin Holdsworth, of Watling-street, London, haberdasher.- Benjamin Bradnock, of Birmingham, dealer.- Luke Cockroft, of Booth-town, Halifax, Yorkshire, stuff-merchant.
The variety of rumours which prevailed yesterday respecting the recent and very extraordinary conduct of the Court towards his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, induces us to publish the following authentic particulars : During the present session it was stated in the House of Commons that �50,000 per ann. with the small addition of the profits of the Dutchy of Cornwall, was by no means a sufficient provision for the support of the Heir Apparent of the British Empire : Mr. Pitt did not attempt to dispute this position, but barely informed the House that the measure must originate with the King. From the proceeding, the general expectation was, that a proper addition would be proposed. The Prince was however freed from suspense on Wednesday morning last, when he received from Lord Southampton a letter, written by the King, at considerable length, in which his Majesty asserted, that he neither would in the present instance, nor on any future period, give sanction for any increase being made to his Highness's revenue. The Prince appeared in the utmost astonishment when he read it; but collecting himself, he begged Lord Southampton would attend him on the following morning. He then told his Lordship that he had made up his mind on the subject; that as he had depended on a resource, in which he met disappointment, it remained with him to take the only means in his power to answer the demands of his various tradesmen and others; that to enable him to effect this necessary purpose, he was resolved to disband his household, - to suspend the intended improvements of Carlton House, - to sell all his carriages, and every horse of which he was possessed; and assign the produce of the sales and consequent savings, to the use of those to whom he stood indebted. That from his future income he was determined that annually the sum of �40,000 should be applied, to commence from the ensuing quarter, for the benefit of those who have claims upon him, till every demand was answered; and that four of his Highness's friends should be fixed on for the due appropriation of the money.
His Highness intends retiring immediately from the metropolis - he waited yesterday on the Queen at Windsor, acquainted her with his purpose, and took farewell of her Majesty and the Princesses. His present visit will be to Brighthelmstone, where he will continue for some weeks.
A report is in circulation that the Marquis of Carmarthen has resigned, and that the King has nominated the Marquis of Lansdown to succeed him as Secretary of State.
Yesterday Sir Guy Carleton had his Iast audience of leave of the King, previous to his going to Canada.
Yesterday morning General Conway set out from his house in Park-place for Jersey.
This day the House of Lords met, in order to go through the remainder of the bills before them, that they may be returned to the Commons on Monday.
The Prince of Mecklenburg is to attend their Majesties in the intended excursion to Oxford, which takes place the week after next.
The want of the St. Eustatius papers, it is said, will be the occasion of the captors being obliged to refund all the property sued for by different individuals on the taking of that island.
As the late insolvent bill releases none out of durance who are not absolutely in execution, the number who are liberated is comparatively small when compared with the many individuals with whom all the gaols throughout the kingdom are thronged.
HOME NEWS.

On Saturday last was married Mr. John Smith, surgeon, of this city, to Miss Kernott, daughter of Mr. Kernott, of the same place, merchant.
SALISBURY, JULY 10.
On Wednesday last John Drummond, Esq. was elected Member for Shaftesbury, without opposition. After the election was over, he was carried through every street in a chair, with his friend Mr. Whitaker, and received congratulations from almost every inhabitant in the borough. An elegant entertainment was afterwards provided at the Red Lion, and the other public houses opened for the voters.
William Cockell, Esq. is appointed to be Comptroller of his Majesty's Customs at Cowes, vice John Rushworth, Esq.
We have the pleasure to hear that the celebrated Sig. Rubinelli, so deservedly admired at the late musical performances in Westminster Abbey, is engaged as principal singer at our ensuing Festival.
On Tuesday last was married at Dorchester, the Rev. Mr. King, of Witchampton, to Miss Nicholls, daughter of the late Mr. Walter Nicholls (an attorney at Dorchester); an agreeable young lady, with a genteel fortune.
On Sunday the second instant, about 240 casks, four gallons each, of brandy, rum, and geneva, were seized in Dean wood, near Blandford, by Mr. Twentyman and Mr. Harding, assisted by a party of the North British Dragoons, on an information, and was safely lodged in the Town-hall in Blandford.
Blandford Races will be on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 15th and 16th of August next. The particulars will be advertised in our next.
Extract of letters from J. Hervey, of Penryn, by whose activity the seizure of worsted was made, as mentioned in a former Paper, to the Secretary of the Wool Meeting.
Nothing has been done yet, as the officers wait for instruction from the Board. I mentioned in my last, that the Captain of the smuggling vessel, with another of the crew, had been at my house by night, vowing vengeance on me. Gratitude compels me to return my sincere thanks to Mr. Anstie for the trouble he has taken to protect me, and which, I hope, will answer the end intended. The Collector of this port has received the letter from the Commissioners of the Customs, and has offered all the service in his power. As I take care not to be out at night, and keep fire arms in my chamber, I hope I shall be safe without removing. The Collector has been examining the officers and my brother on oath, and their evidence will be sent up this evening.- The vessel is returned, and the Captain has thought proper to apply to an attorney, who has wrote to Mr. Fisher, confessing their crime; and desiring to know if something might not be done towards compromising the matter; and if so, then what terms; so if money could do it, none would be wanting."
Jarvis Matchem, the sailor, who, urged by remorse of conscience, lately made a voluntary confession before the Mayor of this city, of a murder he had committed near Huntingdon about seven years since, was last Monday removed by Habeas Corpus to Huntingdon gaol, in order to take his trial at the next assizes. - It appears that he had married a woman at Gosport but a few weeks before he made the discovery of this horrid transaction, the whole of which, there is reason to believe, is strictly true.
At a meeting of the Magistrates on Tuesday last at the Vine Inn in this city, Isaac Luffman, Isaac Prince, Joseph Aford, Mary Thompson, Richard Russell, Moses Hurst, Sarah Brown, Hugh Luffman, Henry Withers, William Light, Emery Widow, and William Butler, shopkeepers, of Whiteparish, were severally convicted of selling by short weights, and paid the penalty.
Mr. Russell, schoolmaster, one of the persons abovementioned, begs leave to add, he is very sorry for having two of his wife's weights too light; they are two lead weights, of three pounds and a half each, having the Salisbury arms stamped, and were some years since adjusted to the standard, (and so was every weight in his house) but by wear, those two were got half an ounce (exactly standing) each deficient; but he solemnly protests he did before verily think every weight in his house had been just and good, he being conscious of having never knowingly and willingly wronged any person living.
Last week Sarah Spredbury, of Durrington, spinner, was committed to Fisherton goal for one month, for neglecting and refusing to perform the work delivered out to her, and engaging herself to work for another master.
Also William Smith, of Ditchampton, weaver, for purloining and embezzling certain woollen materials belonging to his master, was committed to prison for fourteen days, and ordered by the Justices to be once publicly whipped in the market-place. The clothiers of this city are determined to punish all such offenders with severity.
To the Printer of the Salisbury and Winchester Journal.
SIR,
THE exertions which have been made to prevent the fraudulent exportation of Wool, have naturally roused the curiosity of the public; and have excited the particular attention of those who are immediately interested in its suppression : who view with satisfaction the fair prospect of success that attends a measure in which their interest is so deeply involved - in which the honour and reputation of the nation, as well as the advantage of individuals, are so much concerned.
The most indisputable authority deduced from positive facts, must establish this sentiment in the mind of every intelligent person ; that English Wool has been exported in very large quantities, and that such exportation has been prejudicial to the interest of the kingdom, by promoting the trade of our rivals to the injury of our own; and by depriving us of the raw material - occasioning its consequent advance in price. But to this latter idea I shall confine myself; and would beg leave to call the attention of those gentlemen who are dealers in Wool, to a subject that highly concerns their interest, and which at this time must naturally occupy their thoughts, viz. The necessity of purchasing the fleeces of the wool-grower, at much lower prices that were given last year; and the fair opportunity which at present offers of thus benefiting themselves and the community.
The noble struggle that has been made to suppress the smuggling of Wool was not undertaken till incontestible proofs removed every doubt of its existence. This practice became so regular, and the quantities thus exported were so considerable, as to advance the price of wool beyond the bounds of moderation; and the manufacturers were impelled to seek a reformation, which its obvious necessity has inclined the Legislature to enforce. The present situation of the trade demands a less price for the raw material, and is a claim on the purchaser of wool to be moderate in his prices - to avoid that spirit of competition that has done so much disservice to the cause - and rather desist from purchasing than to comply with any improper requisition, The decrease of a foreign demand has proceeded from the evil complained of; from the advantage our rivals possess in importing our wool, and in consequent advance in price at home. This alarming evil must have constantly operated as a barrier to a good demand for our woollen manufactures, had not the timely exertions that have been made proved a check on the mal-practice. However, this check has already effected a reformation as to the smuggling of Wool, which is naturally deemed a prelude to a considerable fall in its price: This renders the expectation of the manufacturer very just; his claim on the wool-dealer very forcible, the advantage to the community very evident, and the consequent necessity of the plan very obvious.
As to the fair opportunity that presents itself for reducing the prices of wool, it is truly flattering, and equals the most sanguine wish. The check that has been given to this illegal practice, will keep the article at home; and as the stock on hand is not inconsiderable, the market will be consequently well stored, which the intelligent farmer expects, and the patriotic desires a fall in the prices of Wool.
A chain of solid arguments might be drawn from this position; but, fearing I shall exceed the limits of your Paper, I wave any further comment.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant.
