COPENHAGEN, July 11.
THE 7th of this month an ordinance was published, allowing the importation of grain into Aggershus and Christiansand in national and foreign vessels, on paying fifteen shillings (about seven pence sterling) per ton. Scotch meal may also be imported into the district of Christiansand. These regulations have been adopted, and will subsist till July 1787, on account of the appearance of bad crops this season in Denmark and Norway.
BANKRUPTS.- John Milne, sen. and John Milne, jun. of Staley Wood, Cheshire, woollen-clothiers.
LONDON, TUESDAY, July 25.
Friday evening the Duke of Orleans arrived in town from France, and yesterday morning set off on a visit to the Prince of Wales at Brighthelmstone.
It is now said that the Prince of Wales's income will next winter be increased, so as to enable him to live with becoming dignity; but that a minute investigation will take place in regard to his present debts, which it is believed will cause some bustle among certain gentlemen of an opposite squad.
At the sale of the Prince of Wales's horses yesterday a Tattersal's, the famous horse Rockingham was sold to Mr. Bullock for 800 guineas; Hardwick to Mr. Bott for 250; Braganza to Mr. Hull for 170; Mufti to Mr. Berdmore for 230; Charles to Mr. O'Kelly for 120; and Augusta to the same for 280 guineas. The whole of yesterday's sale only amounted to 4199 guineas.
The great and important plan of the reduction of the national debt commences next week, when the Commissioners named by Act of Parliament will begin to apply the annual million of money to buy stock at the public market price. This mode is to be pursued every transfer-day, and about a million and' a half of stock will be bought up the first year, and every succeeding year the amount will be encreased by the accumulation of the dividend.
The Lords of the Admiralty have appointed the following ships to the several destinations annexed: Amphion, Capt. Brown, to Jamaica; Southampton, Capt. Snape Douglas, to the Mediterranean; Solebay, Capt. Halliday, to the West -Indies; Fortune sloop, Capt. Cole, to the Irish coast.
By a letter from Paris, dated July 20, we are informed, that Baron de Tott, author of "Memoirs of the Turkish Nation," was on the 18th committed to the Bastile, in compliance with a request from the Ottoman Porte.
Yesterday the Midsummer sale began at the India House, when four millions of pounds of tea were put up, which may be estimated at more than five hundred thousand pounds sterling.
The wealth of this country exceeds every calculation which has yet been made; and money is constantly flowing in from most countries in Europe; as well as from the East and West Indies.
Accounts from Constantinople confirm the late letters respecting a plan being in agitation between the British Minister and the Grand Vizier, for restoring the English Commerce with the Ottoman empire, Grand Cairo, and other parts of Egypt.
We lost the most profitable branches of the Turkey trade from the address and industry of our assiduous neighbours on the Continent. It is certain that the richest, for the quantity of its merchandize, and the most regular of all the European commerce established in Turkey, is that of the French. They reckon, that the value of their commerce, active and passive, exceeds twenty millions of Turkish piastres a year. The articles they bring from their country to Turkey are woollen cloths, wrought silks, caps, paper, sugar, cochineal, indigo, gold lace, and an infinite quantity of trinkets and other trifles. Their returns are grains of all kinds, coffee, goat's hair, cottons, wool, silk, and other trifles. The cloth branch is the most advantageous of any to the French. They send out cloths of three qualities, and all three are very acceptable in Turkey, because the price is always lower than that of the English cloths. The great consumption that the Turks are obliged to make of them, is the cause that they have hitherto been always preferred to all other sorts of cloth. The colours also of the French cloths are more lively and durable than those of the English.
A letter received from Derry contains the intelligence of the safe arrival there of the ship Neptune, from the whale fishery of Greenland, with two fish and 190 seals. The success of this adventure, being the first of the kind ever undertaken from Ireland, will undoubtedly have the happiest effect, by engaging several mercantile companies to fit out vessels for the Greenland fishery next season.
The following is a list of the ships of the different countries engaged this year in the whale fishery, and the numbers of fish they have taken.

Judge Heath declared from the Bench this session at the Old Bailey, that the whole twelve Judges were of opinion, that a principal may be admitted as a King's evidence against an accessary after the fact; - (id est[?]) a thief may inform and give evidences against a receiver. However salutary this practice may be to detect receivers of stolen goods, which is the obvious meaning of the Judges in giving their opinion; yet we are afraid the principle is as dangerous as it is novel. If a thief can exculpate himself by being admitted in such a case an evidence, he may as well fix on an innocent as a guilty man, in order to save his own neck; or having committed a robbery, and disposed of the things stolen to one receiver, he may, to gratify a resentment, charge another with it; for he wretch who is so lost to honesty as to break open a house, will at times be villain enough, for lucre or revenge, to screen the guilty, or charge the innocent, just as it may suit his inclination or purpose.
On Thursday last died at Ramsgate, Mr. Justice Nares, one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas. Mr. M' Donald, Solicitor-General, is appointed to the Bench in his room. It is not yet settled who is to be the Solicitor-General, Mr. Bearcroft or Mr. Scott.
A remarkable will has, within there few days, been proved at Doctor's Commons; A gentleman, who had received his education at the charity school at Wapping, and who was one of the first upon the foundation, lately died in India, where he had accumulated a very considerable fortune, and having no relations from a principle of gratitude, has bequeathed near �100,000. to his native parish (Wapping) a great portion of which is to be appropriated towards the erecting and supporting a school for the education, clothing and maintenance of 60 poor children ;- �3000. is allotted for the building, and the remainder is invested in the hands of trustees, for the abovementioned, and other charitable purposes.
Extract of a letter from Dublin, July 18.
"The sum of �25,000. we hear, has lately been remitted to a banking-house of this city by Madam de Schwellingbergen, for the purpose of lending it out on mortgages at the legal interest. Other large sums have, we find, been sent over within there three months from England, with the same intent, but from a scarcity of borrowers, or of unincumbered estates, very few sums worth mentioning have as yet been veiled in this way.

LISBON, June 20.
THE works upon the wreck at Peniche go on with success; the specie taken out of the water to this time amounts to 6,558,963 piastres, besides which 4466 bars of copper, weighing 200 cwt. each, have been recovered, with all the guns of the ship, except two; the vessel is now afloat, and the divers will consequently have less difficulty in getting up the silver which is fallen to the bottom of the sea.
COUNTRY NEWS.
READING, July 24. Tuesday evening the Lord Bishop at Salisbury arrived here, from Windsor, at which place a great number of persons had been confirmed by his Lordship. On Wednesday morning, his Lordship confirmed upwards of 900 persons in St. Lawrence's Church; after which he proceeded to St.Mary's, where he held his triennial visitation. A sermon, on the occasion, was preached by the Rev. Dr. Morgan.-His Lordship then delivered a most excellent charge to the Clergy of his diocese; in which he very strongly recommended them, not to employ any Curate, without having first seen his letters of orders; and also advised them to be particular to the moral characters of those persons who apply for testimonials, before they sign them; otherwise they might lead him into great errors; as he relied entirely on his Clergy for the proper conduct of those who came to him for ordination.
LONDON, THURSDAY, July 27.
Monday evening the Duke de Fitzjames and the Duke de Conflans [?] arrived in town from France, and yesterday morning set off for Brighthelmstone, to visit the Prince of Wales.
The stud of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales was not sold but given away; the two days sale not having amounted to half the sum that was justly expected. The dealers and speculators, who were the principal purchasers, are likely to be great gainers by their bargains, as some horses were disposed of a few hours after the sale for fifty and a hundred guineas more than they were knocked down at.
By letters from Montego Bay, in Jamaica, brought over by the last packet, we are informed, that the strictest orders have been transmitted to the officers of his Majesty's customs in the island, not to admit ships or vessels, built in the American States since their declaration of Independence, to pass as British plantation built, unless they should have been taken up at sea by letters of marque or reprisal, and condemned as lawful prizes in the Court of Vice-Admiralty.
Many of the most experienced gentlemen farmers in England have lately found the old method of fallowing land entirely unnecessary. Among many others skilled in agriculture, Isaac King, Esq of Buckinghamshire, who for some years past joined in the general opinion that the poor quality and small crops of wheat have been brought on by the ground not lying fallow, found, Iast harvest, that a small part of his estate, which had nor been fallow for upwards of twenty years past, had in general yielded great plenty of crops in the following order: 1 Turnips, 2 Barley, 3 Clover, 4 Wheat, 5 Oats or Pease.
Notwithstanding the crops of grain are the most promising this season of any that several years have produced, yet they bear no competition with those sown in particular by the Rev. Mr. Cooke's Drilling Machine. We are informed Mr. Robinson at Streatham, and Mr. Malcolm at Kennington, both in the county of Surry, have two of the finest crops sown by this invention that were ever seen in this part of the country. If such be the admirable effects of his Machine, and it should, as we trust it will, become generally adopted, no adequate idea can possibly be formed of the advantages the country will derive, as well as the individual, from this invention. For so agreeable is the prospect, that the landed interest of the country may expect to find their estates at least doubled in value by it.
This morning about one o'clock a fire broke out at an upholsterer's in Catherine-street, Strand, which consumed the same, with a great part of the stock in trade, three houses backwards, and greatly damaged two other houses adjoining.
This morning Mark Powen, convicted in May session of forgery on Mess. Poland and Co. and John Wilkinson, for stealing two mourning rings, a silver watch, and 30 guineas, in the dwelling-house of Owen Annelly, were executed in the Old Bailey, pursuant to their sentences.
DIED.] Friday, Mr. Bathurst, bookseller, in Fleet-street. - At Devizes, in the 78th year of his age, the Rev. Mr. Jacques.- At the rectory house at Newton, in the 77th year of his age, the Rev. John Chapman, archdeacon of the diocese of Bath and Wells, rector of the three parishes of Bath, and of Newton, vicar of Lyncomb and Widcomb.- At Windsor, John Buller, Esq. Member for East Looe, one of the Lords of the Treasury and Comptroller of the Mint.

A commission for the great seat is now making out, at the particular request of the Chancellor, who finds his health too much impaired for public business.
We have it from undoubted authority, that administration have at length come to a determination upon the mode of clearing his Majesty's custom-house ware-houses of the spirits that have been seized, and which have been suffered to remain until there is scarcely room for an additional gallon in anyone of them in the kingdom. Instead at having the casks staved, and the liquor thrown into the Thames, they have wisely resolved. that all which was taken before June, 1786, shall be immediately disposed of for exportation.
We hear that William Eden, Esq. is to be appointed Lord of the Treasury in the room of John Buller, Esq. deceased.

Edwards, indicted with Hastings abovementioned for murder.
At the above assizes an issue out of the Court of Exchequer came on to be determined, brought by R. P. Blachford, Esq. as impropriator or the parish of Carisbrook, in the Isle of Wight, against the Governors of the House of Industry, in the said island, to ascertain the boundaries of the said parish, when, after a full hearing of the various witnesses, a verdict was given for Mr. Blachford.
On Thursday night last John Streeter and Henry White, two famous smugglers, confined in the county goal, found means to make their escape by making a hole through the chimney, and letting themselves down with a rope.

Multis ille bonis flebilts occidit [?]
A few day since died at Shaftesbury, the Rev. Mr. Bowles, a gentlemen of a most liberal disposition ; his true friendship to the distressed in times of need, will be much wanted by those who have experienced his kindness.
On Tuesday last Sir John Webb gave an entertainment to his tenants and neighbours, at his family seat at Canford, in Dorset, on the marriage of his daughter, Miss B. Webb, with the Earl of Shaftesbury. Two fat bullocks were roasted whole, with which, and other viands, and an ocean of punch and strong beer, the common people were entertained in the adjoining meadows; whilst select parties were received and treated with truly English hospitality in the mansion-house. The morning was ushered in with ringing of bells at Canford, Wimborne, and other of the adjoining parishes.
The noble bride and bridegroom arrived at Canford at two o'clock. About a mile before they reached the mansion-house, the horses were taken from their carriage, which was afterwards drawn by the populace, preceded by Sir John's tenants, and a vast concourse of other persons of both sexes, in regular order, and accompanied by a numerous and most excellent band of music. Their approach was announced by the firing of cannon, and by the heart-felt shouts of the most numerous and respectable company that perhaps ever assembled on such an occasion. After dinner the Earl and Countess, with Sir John, walked into the fields, were the company were entertained with dancing, and other rural sports.� The eagerness of the people to see, and to testify their respect for the truly noble and amiable pair, could be equalled only by the great condescension and affability with which it was returned. The evening was concluded with good humour, pleasantry, and universal harmony; and, in short, a day of greater festivity has seldom been seen; the joy which so auspicious an union transfused into every heart contributing greatly to the hilarity of the entertainment.
And on Saturday another most elegant entertainment of a similar nature was given to his Lordship's friends, at St.Giles's. His Lordship's tenants and neighbours, and a vast concourse of people from all parts, were also feasted in the most liberal manner. Two large oxen and several sheep were roasted whole, upwards of thirty hogsheads of strong beer, and a profusion of wines and other liquors were given.
We are desired to contradict the paragraph in our Iast, which states, that a cause had lately been cried in Doctor's Commons, between the vicar and parishioners of Long Burton and Holnest, in Dorsetshire, and determined in favour of the vicar; with costs, &c. the merits of that cause not having yet been decided on.
On Friday last a labouring mason of the name of Deacon, being at work in the house of a hatter in Frome, perceived a bottle in a cupboard, which he supposed to contain brandy, of which he took a draught, but, unhappily for him, it was soon discovered to be a bottle of spirit of vitriol.- Notwithstanding proper medical assistance was immediately given, he died in a few hours.
On Thursday the 13th inst. Matthew Bayly, of Cranborne, was found guilty, on his own confession, before one of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace, of stealing pease, the property of the Rev. Mr. Howell, of Cranborne aforesaid, and fined half a crown.
