THURSDAY's POST.
Arrived the Mails from Holland, France, and Flanders.
PARIS, Sept. 2.
THE King, it is said, gave the Cardinal de R----- four days to choose one of the three following proposals, viz. To receive his liberty as an act of Royal clemency; to choose his Judges among the Counsellors of State, one half to be appointed by the King, and the other by the prisoner; or to leave the whole affair to the decision of Parliament: The Cardinal was permitted to consult his family and any lawyers he pleased on the subject; the result was, that he chose to be judged by the Parliament.
PARIS, Sept. 4. On the 1st curt. the Dauphin of France underwent the operation of being inoculated for the small-pox, at the castle of St.Cloud, and the process is attended with the most favourable symptoms. The operation was performed by M. Jauberthon, Physician to the Comte D'Artois; after M. de la Sosne had certified the state of the constitution of the child from whom the infection was to be communicated, and M. de Crosne, Lieutenant-General of the Police, had taken the necessary informations with regard to the regular manner of living, and propriety of general conduct of the father and mother.
PARIS, Sept. 7. The Spaniard, who announced his intention of walking across the Seine, made his experiment yesterday se'nnight, in the inclosure of la Rapee. He placed himself on the water on his clogs, of which the form is unknown, and he advanced into the current, and moved both with and against the stream. He stopped at times, and at times stooped and filled a glass, which he held in his hand, with water; in neither of these situations did he sink below the ancle in the flood. His motion was slow, and apparently painful, in particular by the difficulty of preserving his equilibrium. He remained on the water between 15 and 20 minutes. Before he reached the shore, he left his wooden shoes or clogs in a kind of box, which was a-float for the purpose, and by which he concealed their construction. He was accompanied by a boat, which Administration had provided for his safety, and the most distinguished persons in the state witnessed his experiment.
COUNTRY NEWS.
CANTERBURY, Sept. 10. The late storm has done great injury to the neighbouring hop-plantations ; and was severely felt all along the coast of Kent; pieces of wreck, and several dead bodies, having for these four days past been taken up in the Downs and mouth of the Thames.
A Dutch cradle, with a child about twelve weeks old, was driven on shore on Tuesday night near Sandham Castle. The infant was alive, and is likely to do well. Two smuggling cutters from Solebay were lost on the Goodwin-sands, and the crews, consisting of 26 mariners, all perished, except one lad, who was taken from the topmast-head several hours after the vessel sunk.
GLOUCESTER, Sept 4. It is certain that so great an improvement has been made in the breed of sheep, by one or two of our gentlemen farmers upon the Cotswold hills, that forty sheep were lately sent from thence to the London market, where they were sold for �90. One of there spirited farmers has given twenty-eight guineas for the use of a ram for one season, and been at the expence of bringing it out of Lincolnshire, and carrying it back again. We were shewn the other day fifty one-year old rams, that were valued at five hundred guineas. The Cotswold hills were a few years ago in as barren a state as many of the Welch mountains are at present.
LONDON, TUESDAY, Sept. 13.
It is confidently asserted, that the Minister does not mean to substitute any plan of commercial adjustment with Ireland in the room of the rejected propositions. It is determined to wait until Ireland, recovered from its delusion, shall call for the system.
Last week copies of the late resolutions of his Majesty in Council, held at St. James's the 2d curt. respecting deserters, were sent from the War-office to the commanding officers of all the regiments on the British and Irish establishment, now quartered, stationed, or established in any part of the globe, by which it is declared, that in reviewing the punishment of deserters (whipping and death) so diametrically opposite to the feelings and opinions of the first military characters in the kingdom, which practice it was also found had by no means the desired effect, it had been found expedient in some cafes to alter and amend it: it is therefore ordered to be declared at his Majesty's will, by and with the advice of his Majesty's most honourable Privy Council, that all deserters from any of his Majesty's forces, either military or marine (by which are to be understood all marching regiments, and also of cavalry and dragoons, and the marine corps in their four divisions, as also the artillery company), shall in future be sent to the Coast of Africa, or to the East-Indies, for life, without any alleviation of the sentence whatsoever, there to be branded and badged as criminals, and to be under perpetual stoppages; clothing, &c. being only, provided them as at present.
A variety of orders were received by the last mails from New-York, from Houses in America whose firm is good, and whose discharge of their old debts and remittances since have been such as to gain them credit; but the injunctions received with them have been singularly strong and punctually particular, i.e. they generally run thus: Ship no part hereof however on my account till a commercial treaty is signed between Great-Britain and the United States, or till you have the most perfect assurances that something of that kind is nearly being brought to a conclusion. This has occasioned a meeting of the merchants, and one interview on the subject has been held with the Minister's Secretary, the Chancellor of the Exchequer being himself out of town for a relaxation from the fatigues of business, but without obtaining any very satisfactory answer.
Saturday some dispatches were received from St.John's, Newfoundland, brought over in the Augustus Caesar, Kerr, arrived at Dartmouth.- She sailed from St. John's the 27th of July, and had storms the greatest part of the way, but the wind chiefly fair. The fishery was not over; many vessels which had carried cargoes to the Mediterranean markets, and disposed of them well, had returned and commenced the loading of fresh cargoes. Only one ship, had been taken out of the line the whole season, which, as it appeared to have been done from ignorance, and not with any intention of insult or to transgress, had, after a sharp rebuke, been restored by order of the Commander in Chief.
The write from Paris, that the Sieur Bottinott, who persists in asserting that he has found an infallible method of discovering the approach of a fleet, even at the distance of 750 miles, has obtained from the Court of Versailles all the necessary encouragements to try his experiment along the coast of Britanny; and orders have been sent down to Count D'Hector, the commanding officer of the port of Brest, to give every possible assistance to M. Bottinott, and furnish him with every thing that may tend to favour the attempt.
On Saturday Mr. Poulingue made an excursion upon the Thames in his new invented machine, with which he floated up the river about two hundred yards, and back again, perfectly at ease and free from danger. He took up a boy that fell out of a boat, and brought him safe to the shore. The invention undoubtedly is a simple one; but it is of that nature which would save a man's life in case of shipwreck, and convey him many leagues in safety. The apparatus consists of an Ingenious contrivance of tin, which, clasped in a circular form round the body just above the hips, and being hollow, becomes perfectly sufficient to bear up a man's weight, and carry him to any distance. The feet are supplied with a mechanical contrivance, to operate like those of a duck. As they draw up in the water, they close; as they are pressed down, they open and operate like an oar. The body up from the heart is above water, and the machine so constructed as to hold a bottle of liquor and provisions.
,
On Saturday last, in the afternoon, Mr. Sadler ascended into the atmosphere, on his seventh aerial voyage, from Mr. Wheeler's garden in the city of Worcester. The balloon was in sight for near three quarters of an hour.
On Saturday Iast the Rev. Dr. William Cleaver was elected Principal of Brazen Nose College, Oxford, in the room of Dr. Thomas Barker, deceased.
Buildings have increased so very considerably in and round the metropolis within a short time, that in the course of the last seven years no fewer than 8000 additional houses have been assessed to the land and window-light tax within the bills of mortality. Either the head is growing too large for the members, or this is no proof of the decay of population in the kingdom.
Yesterday the Lottery tickets for the present year were delivered out at the Bank.
Sunday between twelve and one o'clock, as the Rev.Mr. Bowles, of Bristol, in company with a young lady, was returning from St.Nicholas church, where he had been doing duty, he was met in Christmas-street by a russian and assassin, who, holding a pistol in his hand, fired it at him without any ceremony; but the pistol being overloaded, it burst in the fellow's hand, and the ball providentially went only through Mr. Bowle's clothes. The villain was immediately seized and taken to the infirmary to have his hand dressed, which was terribly torn, and afterwards sent to bridewell. He was on Monday had up to the Council House to be examined, and thence committed to Newgate to take his trial for the above heinous offence. He says his name is John Murray, is about 25 years of age, was born in the county of Kilkenny in Ireland, and by trade a taylor; that he was in the army three years, and discharged in March last, since which he worked with one Mr. Martin, in Lombard street, London, and that he came from thence last week, and bought the pistol at Windsor in his way down; all which account is much doubted, as he is very reserved. He will not assign any reason for his attempting the life of Mr. Bowles, who was an entire stranger to him, but that the devil put it into his head. However, it is suppose, he was hired to do this diabolical deed.
The number of prisoners to be tried the ensuing sessions at the Old Bailey, exceeds any known since the time of the riots in 1780; near 800 persons, including debtors, being now confined in the gaol of Newgate.
BANKRUPTS.- Thomas Mirfield Law, of Sailby, Milom, Cumberland, money-scrivener.- Francis Callan, of Bristol, linen draper.
SATURDAY's POST.
FOREIGN NEWS.
BOULOGNE, September 6.
THE public prints announced some time ago, that the French Cabinet had resolved to have a port in the British Channel; and for this purpose had agreed that the bason at Dunkirk should be restored to the state in which it was before its demolition in consequence of the peace of 1763: this object is now to be pursued in the most serious manner; two Cabinet Ministers, the Marechal de Castries and Mons. de Calonne, the former at the head of the marine department, and the latter at the head of the exchequer, are now at Dunkirk, for the purpose of examining the bason, and seeing in what manner the work may be carried on with the least expence and greatest dispatch.
BRUSSELS, Sept. 7. The grand sale of pictures commences in this city the 12th inst. Some very eminent English artists and connoisseurs have been some time in this city to view the collection, which chiefly consists of scripture pieces, by the best Flemish masters. The addition lately made to the catalogue from different religious houses makes the number of articles amount to 7062.
LONDON, THURSDAY, Sept. 15,
Extract of a letter from Oxford, Sept. 13.
"On Monday last their Majesties, attended by six of the Royal children, honoured Lord and Lady Harcourt with a visit at his Lordship's beautiful villa of Nuneham, near Oxford, where they passed a very agreeable day, and intended returning in the evening to Windsor; but being captivated by the beautiful appearance of the University of Oxford from the Terrace of his Lordship's gardens, their Majesties determined to pay this seat of learning a visit the next morning, and passed the night at Lord Harcourt's. -- Early in the morning General Harcourt came to this place, and communicated to the Vice Chancellor their Majesties intention, who desired to be received in the most private manner.
"About ten o'clock the cavalcade passed over Magdalen-bridge in four carriages, and alighted at Christ Church College, where they immediately went to the Chapel, and it being the time of divine service, their Majesties attended during that ceremony, after which they saw the library, hall, and every thing of notice in that College; they then proceeded to visit the other Colleges and public buildings. On their arrival at the Sheldonian Theatre, they were received by the Vice Chancellor, Proctors, Heads of Houses, Professors, &c. in academical habits; on their entrance the organ played, and continued the time of their staying in the Theatre; here the Vice Chancellor, Heads of Houses, Nobility, &c. were announced to their Majesties, and had the honour of kissing their hands. This ceremony being over, they visited the Observatory, and all the other public places.
"The Mayor and other Members of this ancient Corporation sent to know where their Majesties would please to be waited on; the King appointed the Town-hall, and came there about three o'clock, when the Mayor and all the Members of the Corporation had the honour to kiss their Majesties hands, and the honour of Knighthood was conferred on John Treacher, Esq. Mayor. Their Majesties expressed the greatest pleasure at the reception they met with, and were highly delighted with the grandeur of the buildings, &c.
"The concourse of people on this occasion (though so sudden a visit) was amazing, and the affability and polite behaviour of the Royal visitors gained the hearts of all who saw them; they expressed their good wishes by repeated acclamations. Their Majesties returned to Nuneham about five o'clock in the evening; all the houses in the city were illuminated, the evening passed with great conviviality, and health and long life to the King, Queen, and Royal progeny, echoed from every quarter.
We are informed Government have just received an express from the coast of Africa, that the French have taken possession of the river Gambia, ceded to us on the late peace, and built a six gun battery at Sierre-leon, and likewise fortified Albradras, an English settlement there.
Yesterday some dispatches were received from General Eliott at Gibraltar, which were brought over in the Hannah, arrived off Falmouth. They contain an account of the transports from Portsmouth arriving there, with the troops on board which were to relieve those that were coming home.
By a nobleman of distinction just arrived from Germany, we are confidently assured that preparations are making for a war between the Emperor and the Republic, all hopes of accommodation being nearly at an end.
Sunday morning, about a quarter past one o'clock, the powder magazine, belonging to Mr. Stanton, at Woolaston, near Warrington, by some accident took fire, by which explosion a child was blown to a considerable distance, and four men were terribly burnt, but we hear there are great hopes of their recovery.
Extract of a letter from Canterbury, Sept. 9,
"From the most beautiful appearance that the hop plantations round this city had ever made, the fatal wind from the S.W. on Tuesday Iast has rendered them a scene of ruin and devastation. One half of the crop, by the best computation that can be made, is entirely destroyed, and those that remain are in a dreadful situation. Whole hills of hops are blown up together, and the poles lay so very thick upon the ground that the mischief is really incredible, except to those who have seen it; and it is a certain fact that the hops which are standing have suffered more than those that lie upon the ground; the very essence and condition of the hop is totally destroyed. Thus, in a moment, as it were, from the prospect of growing a crop of 18 or 20 hundred an acre, of as fair a sample as ever appeared on the market, and within a day or two of being picked and housed, the utmost expectations of the planters are now unhappily reduced to half a crop, and a very inferior quality."
Extract of a letter from Brighthelmstone, Sept. 13.
"A very extraordinary affair has, since yesterday morning, engaged the attention of the whole town : A fellow, said to be a journeyman shoemaker, has, after an examination before the Lewes Justices, been committed to Shoreham jail for a rape on Miss W---. It appeared by the deposition of the young lady, that the villain seized her near her father's door, between ten and eleven o'clock on Sunday night, as she was returning from the rooms, and forced her up North-street to the church-yard, where he detained her an hour and a half. It then beginning to rain, he attempted to break into the church, but failing in that, dragged her across the fields to the beach, and put her into one of the gentleman's bathing machines, where he kept her till five o'clock in the morning. He then escorted her to the street in which she resides; and, after she had told the story, was apprehended by persons whom Mr. W--- sent out for the purpose. The fellow, on his examination, denied having used any kind of violence, and asserted, that he took her for one of those ladies of no great delicacy or scruple, of whom there are plenty in the town."
DIED.] Friday night, George, Earl of Abergavenny, created Earl of Abergavenny last year, until which time he had been Premier Baron of England.

Arrived the Mails from HOLLAND and FLANDERS.
VIENNA, Aug. 27. Couriers are continually pouring in here from different Courts, which gives reason to suspect that a storm threatens our political horizon. Every account from the Austrian Netherlands speaks of war. It is said that forges are established between Sambre and Meuse, for the construction of bombs. Of these 100,000 have been constructed. The greater part of there are sent to Luxembourg. We are assured that war is inevitable, as well with Prussia as with Holland.
PARIS, Sept. 5. The husband of Madam le M. has fled for refuge into England, taking with him the diamonds obtained in the name of the Queen; but it is expected that the Court of London will give up this offender. The general opinion seems to be, that the Cardinal de Rohan will have little difficulty in clearly establishing his innocence, and proving that he was seduced into the belief, that by obtaining the jewels he should oblige the Queen.
LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, Sept. 17.
This morning some dispatches were received from the Governor of Jamaica, which were brought over in his Majesty's packet the Queen Charlotte, Captain Clark. They contain an account of most of the ships having sailed for England the first of August, and all fully laden.
It is a fact, says a correspondent, that the Court of France mean to appropriate 16 millions of livres for compleatly restoring the bason and harbour of Dunkirk to its former condition.
The Treasurer of the Navy has left the Board of Controul, and is employed in arranging the facts by which the charge against Mr. Hastings is to be substantiated.
His Majesty has lately been presented with some of the early compositions of Handel, which he values exceedingly. The music at Windsor Castle is entirely confined to the old school. Nothing of a modern date is listened to by the Royal ear.
We are assured, that when the Duke of Dorset returns to Paris, he will carry with him a new set of propositions for the regulation of commerce between England and France, which it is expected will not be lightly treated, as it is to the interest of both countries, that something of this kind should be adopted as soon as may be with convenience.
The arret of the King of France against the importation and sale of English goods commences about the 22d of this month.
The Commander in Chief, among other little alterations for the better in his department, is said to have in contemplation an amended plan for the quartering out of the military, and which will very much relieve the publicans, particularly inn-keepers, from the heavy burthens at present attending billeting.
On Wednesday last Capt. Euston, Captain of the Hebe frigate, arrived in town from Portsmouth, where the frigate was left under the command of his Royal Highness Prince Henry, and waited on the Lords of Admiralty and resigned his command of the said frigate, which was given immediately to the Prince; and a commission made out from the Board of Admiralty appointing his Highness a Post Captain, and another ship given to Capt. Euston of the same force. The Prince is not expected in town, but lies under sailing orders.
According to letters of the most recent date from Ostend, a placart is stuck up, forbidding the exportation of grain or provision of any kind, either fresh or salted, from any of the ports of Austrian Flanders, under severe penalties, and pain of incurring the highest displeasure of their Sovereign. By the same, bounties are offered to all persons bringing in forage of various kinds to the Austrian magazines and granaries at Ostend, Bruges, Antwerp, and Brussels.
On the 22d of August a very alarming shock of an earthquake was felt at Ratisbon and Pless, in Upper Silesia. It was so violent that persons in bed were thrown out and flung on the floor, and every part of the furniture, glasses, china, &c. beat down with great force. It is added that several houses were levelled with the ground. No lives, however, have been lost, at least as far as we are hitherto informed.
At Bristol a Marine Society is established on the most humane and liberal principles, which, at the same time, will provide for many poor infants, and give support to the bulwark of the nation.
The game laws have long been considered as a disgrace to our jurisprudence, and they are now become so obnoxious, that it is probable they will soon cease to be a source of revenue. The farmers, and many of the inferior country gentlemen in the northern counties of England, have come to a resolution, that rather than take out licences, they will forego the pleasure of shooting, neither will they suffer a bird to occupy their fields - and it is a said, that a basket, as a present, marked game, was lately sent to Mr. Pitt, to his house in Downing-street, which upon opening, was found to contain nothing but partridges eggs !
The young lady who has fallen a sacrifice to brutality at Brighton, is youngest daughter of Mr. W. Master of the Ceremonies.

How much obliged would the public be to the Ladies who intend honouring the Rooms with their company, at our ensuing Musical Festival, if they would kindly follow the example of all the similar Meetings in the West of England, and not conceal so many of their charms beneath the invidious shadow of a large umbrella-hat!

The flames had communicated to the adjoining house, but happily, by the exertions of the firemen and others, were extinguished without any farther damage. It was occasioned by the negligence of a workman, who left a glue-pot over the fire whilst he went to dinner.
On Thursday last was committed to Fisherton gaol, Isaac Wheeler, charged with stealing fifteen guineas out of the bureau of Hester Wheeler, the property of the said Hester.

On a BALLOON PURSE.
TO name purses balloons --- is undoubtedly right;
A balloon is my purse, for 'tis frequently light;
When 'tis full, how I mount - how I roar in the skies -
How I spurn all below - how I earthworms despise -
How rapid I fly thro' the regions of air ! -
But when empty, I sink - o'erwhelm'd with despair.

SALISBURY INFIRMARY, Aug. 31, 1785.
THE ANNUAL COURT of GOVERNORS held this day, having, pursuant to the statutes, appointed an ANNIVERSARY MEETING : This is to give notice, that it will be this year held on Wednesday the 28th day of September next, when it is hoped that all friends and the contributors to this important and extensive charity will, by their attendance and concurrence, manifest a resolution to support it, as at so small an expence to themselves they are enabled to relieve their poor neighbours in the most distressed circumstances, with such advice, medicines, and accommodations, as cannot be procured for them in any other way.
All the subscribers of one guinea per annum, and benefactors of at least that sum, are desired to attend the Visitor, President, Governors, Mayor, and Corporation, exactly at half after ten o'clock in the morning, at the Council Chamber, in Salisbury, to walk in procession from thence to the Cathedral Church, where service will begin exactly at eleven, and a sermon will be preached on the occasion; after which will be performed an anthem, composed for the occasion by Mr. Parry; and a collection will be made at the church doors, when ALL, particularly the inhabitants of this city, may, by their appearance at church, shew their approbation of so noble an establishment, and have an opportunity, according to their respective abilities, of contributing something towards its support.
After divine service, the procession will be in the same order to the Council Chamber, where some particulars of a Report from the Auditors of the state of the Infirmary for the last year, ending this day, will be publickly read, and the Report itself be then ready to be delivered to all the contributors present, and sent to those who are absent, and an Half Crown Ordinary will be provided at half an hour after two o'clock.
RADNOR, President.
By Order of the Annual Court, JOHN TURNER, Secretary.
Persons intending to dine at the Ordinary, are desired to send their names to Mr. Woodham, at the Three Swans Inn, forthwith.
All the patients that have been discharged from the Infirmary in the last year, who can make it convenient to themselves, are desired to testify their gratitude, by attending the service at the church on the day above mentioned.
* * * The Earl of Radnor will present the Governors with a Buck.
SALlSBURY INFIRMARY, Sept. 3, 1785
Ordered,
THAT a Special Court of Governors be holden at the Infirmary, on Saturday the first day of October next, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, for the election of a Physician of this Charity, in the room of Dr. Daniell, who has this day resigned that Office; and that the following note be affixed to this advertisement.
RADNOR, President.
By Order of the Committee,
JOHN TURNER, Secretary.
Whereas it is the common practice to solicit votes on a Vacancy in the offices of Physician, Surgeon, .Apothecary, Secretary, &c. and as many and great inconveniences have frequently arisen from a too hasty compliance with such solicitation, to the exclusion of the most worthy candidates, and the permanent detriment of the charity; and as such inconsiderate promises may render even the most judicious statutes and prudential rules of any society ineffectual, it is hoped that every Governor of this charitable institution will, on all such occasions, keep himself entirely disengaged till the day of election; and then, after a due examination into the real merits of the candidates, give his vote according to what he apprehends most beneficial to that charity, of which he is the guardian as well as the benefactor. The reasonableness of not promising votes will be further evident, when it is considered that such promises, previous to the day of election, prevent perhaps him who is the best qualified, from appearing as a candidate, will knowing it would be impossible for him to succeed.

STOCKBRIDGE MARKET,
