GLOUCESTER, Nov. 25. The principal inhabitants of Cirencester, to alleviate the distresses of the poor, which, from the scarcity of work, and dearness of provisions, are likely to be very great this winter, have entered into a subscription to supply 200 families with bread, after the rate of 12Ib. for the shilling; and we hear the Members for the borough intend contributing handsomely towards carrying this benevolent scheme into execution.
LONDON, TUESDAY, November 26.
It is confidently reported, that the following terms are the foundation on which the expected peace is now negociating :
England to acknowledge the independence of the United States of America; to restore Gibraltar to the Spaniards; to the French all their territories in the East-Indies; to the Dutch all theirs in the East-Indies.
Spain to cede to the English the island of Porto Rico; to restore West-Florida; to allow her factories in the, Bay of Honduras for the cutting of logwood as before the war.
France to restore St. Christopher's, Nevis, Montserrat, Tobago, St.Vincent, and Dominica.
The island of Grenada to be retained by the French, and the English to have St.Lucia. France and Spain, &c. to guarantee to the English the possession of Canada, Nova Scotia, and the two Floridas. The fishery in the Banks of Newfoundland to be free for all countries, who may build huts on shore for curing the fish; but no country to erect any forts, and those now in the possession of the English to be demolished. A private article is reported to be agreed on separately between England and America, in favour of the loyalists, who may either settle in the country without molestation, or else dispose of such of their property as has not already been confiscated.
On Saturday the Committee of the Common-Council waited on Lord Rodney, at his house in Hertford-street, with the unanimous Vote of Thanks of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons, of the city of London, in Common Council assembled, for his victory over the French fleet on the 12th of April last, who were received with great politeness by his Lordship, attended by Lord Denbigh, Lord Fielding, Admiral Young, William Jolliffe, Esq., Payne Georges, Esq., Mr. Mellor, his Lordship's agent, and the Rev. Mr. Padgett, his Lordship's Chaplain.
The Committee were regaled with chocolate, cakes, &c. and some of the choicest wines, and after spending about an hour with his Lordship, returned in procession to the London tavern, preceded by kettle drums, trumpets, French-horns, clarinets, bassoons, hautboys, &c. &c, where an elegant dinner was provided, accompanied by Lord Rodney and his friends.
In the way through the streets, the populace assembled in surprising numbers:, rending the air with the cry of" "Rodney for ever; " "Rodney for ever;" insomuch that their acclamations reached the skies: At Charing-cross the horses were taken from the coach, and his Lordship (Lord Rodney) had the honour of being drawn (in the manner as worthy and great men have heretofore been honoured) by the people.
After dinner the following toasts were drank, accompanied with sound of trumpet, viz.
The King and Constitution, with three.
Music played, God save the King,
The Queen.
The Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family.
Lord Rodney, with three times three.

The Committee have resolved to commemorate the glorious 12th of April, 1782, by an annual festival, in order to perpetuate the noble and gallant Lord Rodney.
A letter from Don Cordova, Commander in Chief of the combined fleets, relative to the proceedings before Gibraltar, and the engagement between him and Lord Howe, has now appeared in all the foreign gazettes. According to this relation, which it must be acknowledged is drawn up with some degree of modesty, only 32 of the enemy's ships fought against 34 of Lord Howe's; and the total loss, in killed and wounded, on the side of the French and Spaniards, is 365 men, among the latter of which are 15 officers.
An act of insolvency, on a very extensive scale, is talked of as one of the necessary matters to be brought into Parliament early in the ensuing session, the distresses of the times having filled all the prisons in the kingdom, besides great numbers out on bail.
The snow is so deep in some parts of the country, that the Chester mail was several hours longer than the usual time before it arrived at the General Post-office.
Extract of a Letter from Brussels, Nov. 22.
"Last night the Arch-Duchess received company at Court, for the first time this winter, and several English folks were presented, and had the honour of being asked by the Arch. Duchess, How long they had been at Brussels ? and told that it was very cold :- But I am not one of the fools who will put myself to fifty pounds expence, to meet so cold a compliment. The Arch-Duchess, however, is a very elegant, well-bred woman, and gives all the English a glass of good hot punch; and her Highness's palace is furnished not only expensively, but sumptuously elegant; and if it does not vie with Versailles for richness, it beats it hollow in perfect cleanliness. Nothing can be more so.
BANKRUPTS,] Thomas Gough, late of Clunn, Salop, dealer.- Thomas Wilson, late of Crosfield, Cumberland, merchant.- Alex. Young, of Duke-street, Westminster, factor.
SATURDAY's POST.
PETERSBURGH, Oct. 29.
THE raising of recruits, which was suspended for six weeks, has been again renewed; the two-hundredth man fit for service throughout the empire is to be inlisted, which will furnish 45,000 men; besides which, every hundredth man of the free peasants is to be inlisted to complete the regiments of hussars. Orders have been sent to all the absent Officers to join their regiments immediately, on pain of losing their commissions.
IRELAND.
DUBLIN, Nov. 16. Yesterday a further calamity to the royal navy was announced in the loss of his Majesty's ship the Cormorant, of 22 guns, lately appointed to convoy the trade from hence down the Channel. Being in company last Friday se'nnight with the Scout sloop of war, near the entrance of the Bristol Channel, a sudden violent squall arose, accompanied with heavy rain; the vessels were then very near each other, the rain of course concealed the Cormorant from the view of the Scout's people, but when the squall, which lasted only a short time, ceased, and the sky cleared, she appeared no more in sight. The next day her long. boat, one of her top-masts, and some of her standing rigging were taken up off St.David's-Head, by a vessel arrived here last Thursday from Milford.
LONDON, THURSDAY, November 28.
Advice is said to be received that the garrison of Gibraltar are relieved from their excessive toil and fatigue, the enemy now giving them very little trouble: They have drawn off a great part of their land force, and their fire upon Gibraltar is decreased from 10,000 shots a day to 400. From all the movements of the Spaniards and their allies, it looks as if they wished to renounce the siege by degrees, and not to subject themselves to the shame of raising it on a sudden, after the discomfiture of their famous naval attack, from which they so confidently expected the reduction of the garrison.
An express arrived this morning in the city, from Plymouth, with the agreeable news of the following rich ships being arrived there from Quebec, viz. the Everett, London, Integrity, Fame, Fly, and Jenny, all bound for London. They parted company with nine others, under convoy, in foggy weather, soon after they sailed, which was on the 3d of the present month.
The Expedition Packet is arrived at Falmouth from Lisbon in 15 days: She brings advice of the Oiseau frigate, with the trade from Newfoundland, having got into Lisbon on the 8th; and that on the 12th the Dance frigate arrived also, after being chased by a small squadron of the enemy's ships, which she got clear of by dint of sailing.
Capt. Elphinstone has not only been one of the most active, but a remarkably successful cruiser on the coast of America. A few days after his taking the Aigle, he fell in with and took a brig bound from Ostend to America, valued at �15,000. She appears to have been bought and loaded chiefly in the Thames at Harwich, and from thence took Imperial colours at Ostend. Her Captain and Mates are Americans, who had been prisoners in Ireland, and her Crew a mixture of all nations. It appears she was first intended as an advice-boat, and went North about; had a great variety of letters, papers, and pamphlets on board; some of the letters cyphered and unintelligible. She had three separate assorted cargoes for the American markets on board, made up at Ostend, and valued from 3 to �4000. each, and was designed for Maryland and Alexandria in Virginia. This vessel was owned at Ostend, though fitted out by an American gentleman at Harwich in August last.
Letters have been received from almost every quarter, except Antigua, which is the only chance there is of hearing of the Ville de Paris, and the two other missing prizes.
One of the articles demanded by the French, in the present negociation, is the South-West part of the Island of Newfoundland, which is by far the best and most valuable, to be ceded to them, which, if assented to, will deprive us of 3000 seamen annually; and this, it is said, they insist on.
There are now living twelve Admirals, who served Captains under the late Lord Hawke, when he defeated Mons. Constans in Quiberon Bay, viz. Campbell, Graves, Young, Keppel, Howe, Gambier, Rowley, Digby, Drake, Lockhart, Ross, Arbuthnot, and Hood.
Yesterday evening their Majesties, the Prince of Wales, and Princess Royal, attended by the Earl of Waldegrave, Lady Holdernesse, &c. &c. were at Covent-Garden Theatre, to see the comedy of the Suspicious Husband, and the new pantomime, called Lord-Mayor's-Day; or, A Flight from Lapland.- The King had on a velvet suit of les Yeux de I' Empereur colour. Her Majesty was dressed in a Champignon coloured Italian night-gown, with white trimmings, and brilliant studded bows, and had on an apron of a beautiful flounced pattern.- Her muff was of white sattin, ornamented with printed devices.
Yesterday morning, soon after nine o'clock, the following malefactors were carried from Newgate, and executed at Tyburn, viz. David Hughes, for stealing in the dwelling-house of Lady Juliana Penn, where he had lived butler about three weeks, a pair of silver candlesticks, a pint silver mug, a cream jug, &c.- Michael Ranton, for assaulting Mr. Mackintosh on the highway, And robbing him of a gold watch and seals, two guineas, and some silver- and Tho. Condon, for coining silver, who was drawn upon a sledge.
An Ecclesiastical Anecdote.-When Dr. --- was Bishop of ----, being one day travelling on a visitation, he met a poor Curate of his diocese, and desired know which way he was going; to Farnham, said the Curate; then, Sir, said the Bishop, with considerable pomposity and presumptuousness of tone, I must desire that you would call at such an inn, and order me a good dinner. For your Grace alone, asked the Curate - Certainly, Sir. The poor Parson was a man of some humour, and feeling himself a little hurt by the meanness of his commission, told the landlord of the inn that he must provide a dinner of three removes for a dozen of the clergy, with the Bishop at the head, with an handsome desert into the bargain. His Grace, on his arrival, was a good deal surprized : the preparations; but on calling for the bill of fare, his astonishment was great beyond description ; then ringing violently for the landlord, he exclaimed, how, in the name of wonder, could you think of such a profusion for a single person ? Sir, said the landlord, the gentleman told me there were at least a dozen clergymen, there was the Bishop of -- and the Dean of Salisbury, that am I, said the Bishop; the Prebend of Winchester, so am I; the Vicar of ---- so am I, the Master of ---- College, >I>so am I ! Here the Bishop smoking the jest, told the landlord he knew the rest of the Gentlemen, so desired him to send up the dinner directly.

MONDAY's POST.
Extract of a Letter from Sir Edward Hughes to Mr. Stephens, dated on board his Majesty's ship Superbe, in Trincamale Bay, June 15, 1782.
ON the 9th of this month I received intelligence, that the French squadron was about to sail from Baticalo a few days before, and on the 10th I sent an officer in an armed vessel with orders to proceed along the coast to the southward with caution; and to reconnoitre that port, which he did, and returned to me on the 11th, with certain intelligence that th French squadron had sailed thence.
As I have reason to believe the enemy's squadron is gone to the coast of Coromandel, in order to procure what supplies they can of naval stores from the Danes at Tranquebar (whose outward ships generally arrive about this time with huge quantities of naval stores) and to co-operate with Hyder Ally and their own land forces, it is my intention to embark in a day or two all such men, now at the hospital here, as can be any way serviceable on board; and I hope to be in q condition to sail from hence by the 20th, in pursuit of them.

From the PRINTER'S LETTER-BOX.
SIR,
PERMIT an old customer to your paper, and an admirer of the drama, to give your readers a sketch of the theatrical corps, who opened on Wednesday evening, in New-street, for the season, with Fielding's excellent comedy of The Miser.-- This laughable picture of avarice was performed, on the whole, with general approbation. Mr. Powell, in particular, in the Miser, merited the warmest applause, as he sustained the avaricious feeble old man throughout with infinite humour; and, by the transition of his looks, so-admirably set off the principal scene with Lappet, in the third act, that he kept the house in continual bursts of laughter. Mrs. Chamberlain made the most of Mariana, and kept up the spirit of the character.- The Quaker was afterwards performed with much credit, when Mr. Mills and Mr. Chamberlain, two new performers, supported, in a very masterly manner, the parts of Lubin and Steady� Miss Sharrock, in every air the she sung fully convinced the audience, that she has not spent her time idly since Iast season; and 'tis not doubted but she will this evening, in the new comedy, give further proofs of her great improvement.- On Wednesday the tragedy of Douglas was represented, when Mrs. Hart appeared in the favourite character of Lady Randolph; and it is but common justice to say, that in every situation of the part, she seemed to seize, as it were, on the passions of the audience, and displayed such striking maternal feelings throughout the character, as would do infinite credit to a metropolitan theatre. Mrs. Hart has been a favourite performer at the Theatres-Royal of Edinburgh and Liverpool, where her respectable talents have been spoken of in the highest strain of panegyric: Her deportment is easy, her action graceful and expressive; and 'tis the received opinion, that she must prove a tower of strength to the Company, particularly in the line of tragedy, and be an excellent cotemporary with Mrs.Collins, to give additional force to the spirit of Melpomene. Mr. Mills was very respectable in Young Norval.-- After Douglas we were served up with the farce of All the World's a Stage, in which Mr. Chamberlain performed the buskin'd Butler with much humour, and Mrs. Davies was peculiarly entertaining in Kitty Sprightly. This very agreeable actress never fails hitting off, by the naivette of her manner, and unaffected archness of her looks, characters of this kind with singular marks of pleasantness, and gives her an indispensable claim to the universal applause she generally meets with.- On the whole, it may be pronounced, that the present Company of Comedians in Salisbury are, without exception, the best perhaps ever seen here, and I heartily wish their success may be fully equal to their deserts.
