"Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
"I thank you for the Supplies which you have granted for the service of the current year, and for the provision you have made for discharging the Incumbrances on the revenue applicable to the uses of my Civil Government. The most salutary effects are to be expected from the plan adopted for the reduction of the national debt; an object which I consider as inseparably connected with the essential interests of the public.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
The assurances which I continue to receive from abroad, promise the continuance of general tranquillity.
"The happy effects of peace have already appeared in the extension of the national Commerce; and no measures shall be wanting, on my part, which can tend to confirm these advantages, and to give additional encouragement to the manufactures and industry of my people."
The Parliament was then prerogued to Thursday the 14th day of September next.

Also to appoint George Jennings, Esq. to be his Majesty's Consul in the Islands of Majorca, Minorca, and Ivica, in the room of George Morden, Esq. deceased.

LONDON, TUESDAY, July 11.
Lord North, Chancellor of the University of Oxford, has appointed the Earl of Dartmouth Lord Steward of that University, vice Lord Leigh, deceased.
In consequence of an application from the Prince of Wales to his Majesty for an augmentation of his income, which he represented as inadequate to the necessary expences of his rank, the King ordered a statement of his Royal Highness's affairs to be laid before him; from which it appeared, that, with �20,000. for compleating the repairs of Carlton-house, a sum of �250,000. would be wanting to free the Prince from his present embarrassments, and to enable him to finish his house in the manner intended. His Majesty having returned an unfavourable answer to the solicitations of his Royal Highness, the latter immediately formed, and still adheres to the resolution of retiring to a private station.
The four gentlemen whom his Highness the Prince of Wales has chosen to retain in his household, and to whom the management of the funds to be set apart for the payment of the debts is entrusted, are Col. Hotham, Col. Hulse, Col. Lake, and Henry Lyte, Esq.
Tattersall, it is said, has received orders to go down to Newmarket, and take inventories of the horses which make up his Highness's stud, together with his carriages, &c. and to bring the whole to the hammer with all convenient speed, - When this is done, the creditors are to be assembled by advertisement, and the whole arrangement to be submitted to their consideration. The grand rooms, the furniture, &c. of Carleton house are to be cased, and the whole locked up, except two or three small apartments for his Highness's use when he may occasionally come to town.
The Household of the Prince is reduced from �24,000, a year to �5000. and it will amount to this sum in consequence of his Highness having settled small pensions on a number of old domestics, who depended on him for their subsistence. His stables, instead of �30,000. will not now cost him more than �2000. a year. His table, which was always managed with great oeconomy, and which notwithstanding the superb entertainments never cost more than between 9 and �10,000. a year, will now be confined within 2 or �3000. By these means, he will be able to live and maintain the elegant expence of a private gentleman on �10,000. a year, and appropriate �40,000. a year to the payment of his debts.
The principal sums which his Royal Highness the P. of W. owes have accumulated from the repairs, new buildings, and decorations at Carleton-house. His reasons for that expence were forcible. He designed it for his constant residence. He had no other house - and even, if by the will of Providence he should be called to the sovereignty, it was the house which he designed to occupy. St.James's Palace is scarcely habitable, and Buckingham-house belongs personally to the Queen. The sum, therefore, which he had designed to expend in the embellishment of Carleton-house, was for a permanent and a national purpose.
A Mrs. K-- is arrived from Bengal, and it may be depended upon as a truth, says a morning paper, that she put on a new muslin or chintz gown every other day on her way home; and when she arrived in the Downs made her valet a present of the whole.-. This is Eastern luxury.
A few days since died in France, on his way from Italy to England, the Earl of Northington, Baron Henley, &c. one of the Tellers of the Exchequer, Master of the Hanaper, and one of the Knights of the Ancient Order of the Thistle. His Lordship dying a bachelor, and being the only son of the late Earl, the titles are now extinct.

COUNTRY NEWS.
GLOUCESTER, July 10.
SUCH depredations are committed in the different parts of the country by the horse and sheep stealers, that the farmers are afraid to turn their stock into their fields. Within this week or two five horses have been carried off from the neighbourhood of Pendock, in Worcestershire.
A few days ago a farmer, near Worcester, bought a horse at Bridgenorth fair. On Wednesday last one Thomas Hoareditch came to the farmer, and said, -- "I find you bought a horse at Bridgenorth fair, which belongs to me, and I am come to demand my horse." The farmer, alarmed at the idea of losing his horse, consulted a neighbour, who advised to send instantly for Mr. Jones, of Worcester; and to amuse the pretended owner of the horse till he came.-- Mr. Jones came in, as if by accident, and the farmer stated the case to him; upon which, he questioned the fellow with respect to his abode and situation, and demanded proof how he came to have a claim upon the horse - The fellow began to utter the bitterest oaths and execrations, said he was to account to no such examiner, and insisted upon his horse; upon which, Mr. Jones took a pistol from his pocket, and told him, that he suspected him to be one of the gang who stole Lord Berwick's plate.-The mention of this circumstance threw the villain into the utmost agitation. His courage forsook him in a moment. His conscience joined in the accusation, and he confessed the fact, and was immediately conducted to Worcester gaol, where he has given information of his accomplices, who, if not already, will be very shortly in the same situation. This is another striking instance how little the most hardened villains can depend upon themselves, whilst a guilty conscience is continually holding up the terrors of that punishment, which never fails to be some time or other their lot.
BATH, July 10. This morning a duel was fought near the spot where Count Dubarry fell, between the son of Admiral Gambier and Mr. Dalbiac: After each had fired one pistol without effect, the seconds interposed, and the disagreement was happily made up. It is said that the Admiral lent his son his own pistols.
LONDON, THURSDAY, July 13.
Tuesday evening, at five o'clock, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales set out from Carlton House, for Brighthelmstone, in a common post chaise with hack horses, attended by one servant, who was in his Royal Highness's livery, on a hired horse.
The ships lately come home from the East Indies are ordered to be paid off as follows, viz. The Bristol, of 50 guns, at Portsmouth; the Active, of 32, at Chatham; and the Cygnet sloop at Deptford.
The Pennsylvania papers of April last slate, that a gold mine has been discovered in Montgomery County, State of Virginia; and that, from an assay made on some of the ore, it appears that the quantity of that valuable metal produced exceeded expectation.
Mrs. Robinson, the once famous Perdita, died a few days ago at Paris. She was the daughter of a Gentleman of the army; and was married, when at boarding-school, to a Mr. Robinson, Clerk to an Attorney. Her first appearance at Drury-lane Theatre was in the character of Juliet; but that which brought her into notice, and gave her the name of Perdita, was Shakespeare's Winter's Tale. In this dramatic romance, she attracted the notice of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who soon became enamoured of her, and took her from a public station. Her admirers of the ton having worn her out of fashion, she retired to France, where having lived for some years, and finding several of the engagements of honour that had been entered into by her royal and noble admirers, broken, her circumstances straitened, and her reputation as a Cyprian devotee, gone, she is said to have sunk into a state of despondency for several months ere she died.

This evening the remains of the Earl of Northington were interred at Northington, near the Grange, in this county. His Lordship dying unmarried, and without a will, the estates devolve according to the will of his father; they are to be sold, and equally divided amongst the sisters of the late Earl; one Lady Bridget Tollemache; another Lady Ligonier, a third Lady Ashby; and a fourth lately married to a private gentleman.

SALISBURY, JULY 17
The Lord Bishop of Sarum hath been pleased to suspend his intended confirmation at the Cathedral Church of this city on the 3d and 4th of August next; being the days when his Lordship holds his Visitations at Sarum.
On Wednesday the 5th of July inst. the President and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of Sarum proceeded, on his Majesty's Letters Patent, recommendatory of the Rev. John Ekins, D.D. to be Dean of the said Church, to appoint a Chapter for his election, and decreed the usual Processes tor that purpose to be affixed on the outer door of the Choir, for the appearance of the Dignitaries and Prebendaries of the said Church, on Wednesday last, when he was elected according to ancient custom, and on Saturday at a Chapter by adjournment, accepted such his election; and he was then installed, as well in the Decanal as the Prebendal stall of Heitesbury annexed to the Deanry; received possession of the Deanry or Residential House assigned to the Deans of Sarum; and yesterday read, in the said Church, the Declaration of Conformity to the Liturgy and Articles of the Church of England.
We are happy to hear that the business of a new Council-House for this city is in great forwardness, and that Mr. Robert Taylor, an eminent architect, is expected from London early in August, to make a survey of the Guildhall chequer, the whole of which, it is supposed, will be taken down, and a very handsome and convenient edifice erected on the spot.
Thursday last was married at Abbott's-Ann, by the Rev.Mr. Burrough, Mr. George Marshman, an eminent farmer of the same place, to Mrs. Ivy, widow of the late Jason Ivy, Esq. of Appleshaw.
A few days ago was married at Burton Bradstock, near Bridport, Mr. Richard Roberts, an eminent merchant, to Mrs. Best, relict of the late Mr. Samuel Best, of that place.
Wednesday evening died, of an apoplectic fit, while he was sitting at supper with his Family, Mr. Moulton Messiter, many years an attorney of great practice and reputation at Wincanton, and Under-Sheriff of the county of Somerset. Few men have conducted such an extensive business with so much integrity, or gave more satisfaction to their clients. Such being his real character, his death is a very great loss not only to his family and intimate connections, but to society in general.
A correspondent at Andover writes, that a shopkeeper there having entered into the holy state of matrimony with his fourth wife, and they having lived in the full enjoyment of that most perfect state of sublunary happiness for the complete term of twelve months and a day, without once transgressing the nuptial vow, in thought, word, or deed, and not having
"Since the Parish Clerk said Amen,
"Wished themselves unmarried again,"
were, in consequence thereof, and agreeable to the ancient custom of Dunmow, in Essex, presented on Wednesday last with a flitch of bacon ! - Besides the above, there are two other instances recorded by the late ingenious Mr. Addison of the flitch having been given, one to a Sea-Captain and his wife, who, since the day of marriage, had not seen each other till the day of the claim; and the second to an honest pair - the husband a man of plain good sense, and a peaceable temper, and the woman dumb.
On Friday morning last a dreadful fire broke out in the dwelling-house of farmer Clarke, at Collingborne, in this county, which entirely consumed the same, together with the barn and out-houses, and all the furniture. Mr. Clarke, his wife, and three children, very narrowly escaped with their lives.
At the General Quarter-Sessions of the Peace for this County, which were held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday last, at Warminster, John Timbrell, for breaking into the dwelling-house of Samuel Andrews, of Charlton, and stealing half a flitch of bacon, and several other things, was sentenced to be transported for seven years. James Trapp, for assaulting Mr. Richard Holton, to be confined in the cells at Devizes three months. Richard Hudelcom, for assaulting Mr. James Ludlow, of Warminster, fined one shilling, and to be confined one month in the cells at Devizes. James Lampard, for stealing a cloth coat and other things, at Bramshaw; Robert Petty, for stealing a quantity of elm board, at West-Wellow; John Swearts, for stealing coal at Melksham ; Thomas Chandler, for stealing a piece of iron at Manningford Bohum; and Bradford Hayward, for stealing a hoe at Minty, to be publicly whipt.-- Two were acquitted, and ten discharged.
An useful HINT to FARMERS, &c.
An ingenious correspondent recommends the following simple and easy method, which he pronounces to be infallible, for preventing hay, &c. from taking fire in the rick. Viz. Make two channels across on the ground of brick or stone, about a foot wide and a foot deep, of the length and breadth of the stavel of your intended rick, which will divide it into four quarters : fill up the quarters with faggots, boughs, or other materials, and put slabs over the tops of the channels, leaving an open space of about two feet in diameter in the center, where the channels meet, to serve as a chimney, which is to be continued up through the rick, and be made up in the usual way by drawing up a basket or sack stuffed, as the rick rises in making; by which means the air from without, passing freely thro' the channels below the chimney, the foul air will be expelled, and the hay rendered sweet and good, though put together ever so green. This method was practised in Cornwall last year with great success, during a very bad season; was then first tried on a field of after-grass at Laverstock, near this city, which had only one days drying; and has this season been practised with the like success on so large rick at the same place.
This discovery, our correspondent adds, merits some attention; and being an improvement upon the common method, may be still further improved; the farmer may thereby be enabled to put his hay together much sooner than usual, which in some seasons would be a means of saving his whole crop, and would consequently occasion a considerable saving in the expence of making. It will not only effectually remove the apprehensions he is now often under of its over-heating; but may, with attention, enable him to heat it to any degree he pleases, and thereby render it most fit for the kind of cattle it may be intended for.
SALISBURY, July 17, 1786.
IN addition to the account we gave in our paper of the 26th of June last of the discovery of a murder committed several years ago, near Huntingdon, by JARVIS MATCHEM, as related by himself before the Mayor of this city, we consider it our duty to lay before the public the following interesting particulars as further proofs of the fact, and of the interposition of divine Providence in the punishment of the wicked.- The prisoner having been fully committed upon his own evidence, aided by some corroberating circumstances, (as before related) lay in the common gaol of this city about three weeks, when an Habeas Corpus arrived for conveying him to Huntingdon, previous to his trial, which is to take place at the next assizes there; he was accordingly conveyed hence on Monday the third instant, in custody of Mr. Waight, the keeper of Fisherton gaol; was lodged in Newgate the next morning for a few hours, where he attended divine service, at his own request, with the convicts in that prison; and on the Wednesday following was safely lodged in Huntingdon gaol. His behaviour here and on the road was uniformly decent and penitent; he seemed to be perfectly resigned to his fate, and even anxious for the period of his existence. The humane treatment of Mr. Waight had so wrought upon him, that he was much affected, and even fainted at being left by him in Newgate. Near Huntingdon he passed within two miles of the place where the murder was committed, and a clump of trees, which plainly marked the fatal spot, engrossed the whole of his attention for a considerable time. A great concourse of people met him on his arrival at the gaol, to many of whom he was well known: one man in particular was present who happened to be in a public house on the road with him and the drummer, just before the murder was committed, and was witness to a very violent quarrel betwixt them, in which both were much irritated, and much abusive language was made use of by the drummer, who, amongst other things, said, that if he had a knife, he would stab Matchem on the spot; upon which Matchem produced a knife, and gave it to the drummer, saying, " there, stab me if thou wilt;" but nothing then happened in consequence. This knife was afterwards found in a field near the deceased at the time that the murder was discovered; it was proved by the above-mentioned person, upon oath, to be the knife that Matchem had offered to the deceased at the public house, and is now in his possession. Another man was also present who saw Matchem and the drummer together within a quarter of a mile of the place where the murder was committed. He is known in that county, and had enlisted there by the name of John Jarvis; so that his present name appears to have been assumed for the purpose of concealing himself. Many innocent persons have been taken up at different times on suspicion, but not proving to be this identical person, have been liberated immediately. The county of Huntingdon, and several gentlemen of that neighbourhood, had been at great pains and expence to discover the prisoner, but to no purpose. It is reported, and we believe with truth, that he was married at Gosport, where his ship lay, but a few weeks before he made this confession.
The following is a copy of the paragraph which appeared in the provincial paper at the time that the murder was discovered.
Extract from the Cambridge Chronicle, Aug. 26, 1780.
On Saturday the 10th inst. about eight o'clock at night, Benjamin Jones, a drummer boy of the 49th regiment of foot, and John Jarvis, a recruit, set off from Alconbury-hill, in Huntingdonshire, for Bugden. The boy had upwards of seven pounds in his pocket, received to carry to his father, the serjeant of the corps, who had sent them to the Major for it, for subsistence; and the next morning the boy was found by the side of the great North road, with his throat cut and the money gone, and a bloody knife was found near the body, which the recruit used to carry in his pocket. The coroner's inquest brought in their verdict wilful murder by John Jarvis. He enlisted at Huntingdon in July last, is 24 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches high, a swarthy complexion, black hair, grey eyes, a tooth or two lost from the upper row before, said he was born at Hull, and followed the business of a horse jockey. There was about the time of his enlisting a person who called him brother, a journeyman blacksmith, who lately came out of the North with him, and worked at Alconbury; and he decoyed the boy from Bugden, where he was advised to stay all night, to Alconbury-hill, under a pretence of enlisting this brother. Note, Bugden is on the great North road, about four miles from Huntingdon."
On the 7th of October, 1780, the above murder was advertised in the Cambridge Paper, with a description of Jarvis as above, and a reward of �20. offered for apprehending him, to he paid by the Treasurer of .the county of Huntingdon.
