LONDON, TUESDAY, Aug. 29.

Government have thought proper to grant a pension of �500. per ann. to Commodore Sir Richard Pearson, with reversion to Lady Pearson; also to appoint that gallant officer to the command of a guardship, as a compensation for his eminent services in that desperate action off Scarborough, when with so inferior a force he saved an immense Baltic fleet, with the whole trade of the North, from falling into the hands of that desperate marauder, the celebrated Paul Jones.

A short time previous to the dissolution of his Prussian Majesty, he sent for the Hereditary Prince, and in the presence of his Chamberlain, and an old Genera], who constantly attended his Majesty during his Iast moments, expressed himself with great firmness in the following words:
"I have acquired and preserved what will be thought a great dominion, by the sword; but I have never suffered my enemy to be out of fight. A great General once asked me, why I placed the portrait my opposer in all my apartments; I told him, what I now tell you, that it was to keep me upon my guard; and I hope, that if the patrimony which you will soon inherit is dear to you, you will find it for your future conduct no unnecessary precept."

By this time the physician who attended the Major arrived, and gave his opinion also ;- but nothing could avail, the officers persisted, and compelled the unfortunate gentleman to get out of bed; but in putting on his cloaths, he expired !

Extract of a letter from Gibraltar.

Braithwaite and Sons from Tangiers, in Barbary; they hare brought with them various articles of which the Emperor of Morocco made them a present, consisting of two fine stallions, 20 oxen, 20 sheep, 20 goats with their kids, 400 fowls of various kinds, two large barks laden with oranges, and other refreshments, together with a bag of Spanish dollars, the contents of which I do not know. The genteel treatment they experienced from the Emperor was in consequence of Mess. Braithwaite and sons having presented him with eight pieces of fine Spanish ordnance, being part of what they recovered from the wrecks of the Spanish Flotantines, sunk in this bay. Every thing they brought from Barbary was sold here except the horses, which they have sent off to England.

THE death of Frederic the Third has occasioned much less bustle here yet than might have been expected. The new Sovereign has been complimented in the usual private way, but the public congratulations are reserved till after the interment of the remains of the late King.

Previous to the Earl of Surrey's (the present Duke's) election to the House of Commons, his Lordship read his recantation from the errors of the Romish church; so that we may now boast a Duke of Norfolk in the Upper House of Parliament.
His Grace has precedence of all other Dukes, not only by his creation, but also as Hereditary Earl Marshal of England ;- by a grant from Charles II.

Mr. Eden's abilities and exertions, though they have both compleated the intention of administration, of forming a treaty of commerce with France in the general product of the two kingdoms, have produced a temporary agreement, by way of experiment, to admit the produce of our cotton manufactory there in return for liquors; and as the chief part of spirits from thence are smuggled into this kingdom, the minister is right in admitting the importation.

The inhabitants of Catherine-street were greatly alarmed on Thursday afternoon by a fire breaking out at Mr. Lott's, hatter, from the flue of an ironing stove being built against a wall containing timber, which was kindled by the heat of the chimney, and communicated to some lumber in a room above; happily, the flames were seen before they had made any material progress, and instantly extinguished. A large faggot pile belonging to an adjoining bakehouse would have been inevitably kindled, had this fire broke out in the night, and the consequences to the whole chequer must have been most dreadful. We are happy to learn that the faggot pile is to be removed, and that the magistrates are resolved to confine the erection of such bodies of combustible matter to the environs of the city in future.

To the PRINTER.

SIR,
PRAY recommend it to the worthy Chief Magistrate and Justices of this city, to consider of, and set a weekly assize for bread for this city, as is done in London, Bath, Bristol, Exeter, &c. I am much mistaken if they will not, by so doing, render an essential benefit to the inhabitants in general, and particularly to the poorer class to whom a penny or two-pence in the gallon loaf, is, at this dead time, of no trifling consideration. I think they will find, upon enquiry, that the price of bread here is considerably higher than in the neighbouring towns, an evil that demands immediate correction.
I am, Sir, Your obedient servant,
JUSTICE.
Salisbury, Sept. 1, 1786.



SONNET to the Hon. and Right Rev. SHUTE BARRINGTON, Lord Bishop of Sarum, on hearing his Lordship's Address to the Clergy of Abingdon.

AS the mild sun beams darting from the East
With chearful smiles salute the blushing morn,
And shed their genial influence o'er the earth;
So reason's sacred impulse warms thy breast,
And taught by her doth piety adorn
With rays serene the honours of thy birth.

Tis thine to plead religion's injur'd cause
(To check the rage of an erroneous zeal)
To clear those doubts dependent on her laws,
And heav'n-born charity to man reveal.

O ! may the church still prove thy pious care,
Guided by reason's mild unerring light,
And may the influence of religious fear
With social love and tenderness unite.



A Paris correspondent gives us the following account of one of the most ingenious stratagems played off at any time by the light-fingered gentry of that or any kingdom.

THE last time the Queen of France visited the Theatre in Paris, the wife of a financier, whose whole merit mostly consisted in a heavy purse, and an ostentatious display of eastern magnificence, sat alone in a box opposite to that of her Majesty. Bourgeoise affected to make parade of a most costly pair of bracelets, which, as the Queen now and then cast her eyes upon her, she fondly supposed attracted the admiration of her Sovereign. She was hugging herself in thoughts that exceedingly flattered her vanity, when a person, dressed in the Queen's livery, entered her box. "Madam," said he to her, "you may have perceived how attentively the Queen has surveyed those magnificent bracelets, which though so precious and costly, still receive a greater lustre from the dazzling beauty of the arm that bears them; I am commissioned by her to request you will lend me one of them, that her Majesty may have a nearer view of the unparalleled jewel." Melted by the flattering compliment, and, as the sharper's trick would have it, the Queen having kept her eyes during that time in a strait direction to her box, she did not hesitate, and delivered one of the bracelets. Alas ! she soon repented her blind confidence, and heard nothing more of the bracelets till next morning, when an Exempt of the Police begged to be admitted, chid her politely for trusting so valuable a trinket in the hands of a person unknown to her. But, Madam, added he, make yourself easy, the rogue is taken up, and here is a letter from the Lieutenant de Police which will explain the whole. The letter was indeed signed by De Crone, and contained a request that the lady would repair at twelve o'clock to the office, and in the mean time deliver to the exempt he sent her, the other bracelet, that it might be compared with the first, then in his hand, that he might have sufficient proofs to commit the sharper.
So much attention from the Chief Magistrate called up all her gratitude, which she expressed in the liveliest terms, bestowing the greatest praise on the watchfulness of the police, which was in no country so well administered as in Paris. In fine, after ordering up a dish of chocolate for the exempt, she put the other bracelet into his hands, and they parted, but it was for ever; this pretended exempt proving neither more nor less than the worthy associate of the Queen's bold messenger.



ANY persons having claims on the estate and effects of Peter Jolliff, late of the town and county of Poole, Esq. deceased, or any accounts open with his representative, are desired to give immediate notice of the same to Mr. Daubeny, at Poole, who is authorised to receive all debts due to the same estate, the payment of which, without further delay, is hereby required.
