THURSDAY's POST.
Arrived the Mail from FRANCE.
ACCOUNTS from the two Calabrias mention, that towards the end of last month the heat was so violent that many animals died of it, and the country was quite parched up; the fruits and fields in the neighbourhood of Reggio suffered particularly.
LISBON, Oct. 14. The English Minister has lately had several private conferences with their Most Faithful Majesties, the occasion, we understand, to be some new arrangements of commerce between the two powers. In the course of the last three years the consumption of port wines in England has been reduced by one-third; and if the present duties continue, it is easy to see, with the introduction of French wines, our consumption will still decrease."
IRELAND.
DUBLIN, Oct. 27. We are credibly informed, that a number of merchants of this city are about forming themselves into a company for the purpose of fitting out vessels for the Newfoundland fishery. Indeed it is astonishing that such a measure was not long since adopted; for the pursuit of that trade and establishing stores at Placentia, St.John's, and other parts contiguous to the fishery, must be attended with considerable and certain advantages.
SCOTLAND.
GLASGOW, Oct. 24. Thursday last, in a field between Kirkintulloch and Kilsyth, a quarrel happened between two farmers, which was attended with a catastrophe shocking to humanity. One of the farmers, it seems, had taken a lease of the farm belonging to the other : When the crop was taken off the ground, the new tenant insisted that the foggage or stubble was his property, the old possessor maintained that he had a right to the foggage as well as the crop. The quarrel thus begun, occasioned a violent fray in a field, where both families, to the number of ten persons, six from one, and four from the other, had assembled to dig potatoes. They attacked each other with the grapes employed in their work; two sons of one of the farmers were killed on the spot, and he himself is since dead of the cuts and bruises he received.
Extract of a letter from Aberdeen, Oct. 19.
"For these two nights past we have been greatly alarmed, and all in confusion here, occasioned by the most numerous and audacious mob I ever saw. It originated on Monday evening by some differences among the servants and apprentices of some of the trades. They anew assembled yesterday morning, patrolling the streets, which obliged the Magistrates to interfere to preserve the peace. Three of these lads were apprehended and committed to prison. In the evening the Magistrates met to take precognition of their riotous behaviour. The mob again assembled, and insulted the Magistrates, and stopped them in the exercise of their duty in a most disgraceful and shocking manner. They broke and demolished with stones the whole windows of the Council-house, where the Magistrates were, and put them in such terror and danger of their lives, that they were forced to liberate the prisoners they had committed in the forenoon. They called the assistance of the military, but being so few in number, only 15, they could not face a mob of many thousands. These rioters have been quiet this day; but, it is thought, are to meet in the evening. The Magistrates are just now deliberating on the business, with a number of the principal inhabitants. Luckily no material injury is done to any person."
COUNTRY NEWS.
READING, Oct. 29. This day there were upwards of 2000 people assembled in the village of Compton, in this county, to be present at the turning out of the deer before his Majesty's hounds, that was taken in Mr. Pottinger's parlour on Saturday last. His Majesty, the Prince of Wales, Lord Hinchinbroke, and many other Noblemen and Gentlemen passed through this town between eight and nine o'clock in the morning, took fresh horses at the Crown inn, and arrived at Compton about ten; soon after which the deer was turned out; he made away for the vale, and from thence ascended that beautiful hill called Wittenham, then took a turn through Blewbury to Shillingford, and after a remarkable fine chace of more than three hours, was taken near Henley, in Oxfordshire. Notwithstanding the disagreeableness of the morning, it is supposed upwards of 300 horsemen began the chace.
DERBY, Oct. 27. A short time since, as James Sutcliff, of High Halsted, Lancashire, was returning from Hallifax, with a waggon loaded with valuable goods, and four horses, in attempting to cross a river about a mile from his own house, a flash of lightening, and loud report of thunder, frightened the horses, and they pushed into the water, which being much swelled with sudden rain, were all carried down the stream, but the poor man being seated on the top of the waggon, happily escaped with his life, though all the horses were drowned, the goods lost, and the carriage torn to pieces.
LONDON, TUESDAY, Nov. 1.
Yesterday morning Col. Lake, Col. Sheldon, and Mr. Bouverie, set off for Newmarket. The Prince of Wales was to have gone with them, it being one of the three days meeting on private matches. But his Royal Highness choosing to afford every possible gratification to his Royal uncle and aunt, sent off the above officers to prepare every accommodation for the reception of the Duke and Duchess, the Hon. Miss Lutterel, and several others of the nobility, on the last day of the sport.
It is certain that a scheme is now determined upon to dispose of the waste crown lands by way of lottery, but the plan is not yet ripe for publication. It will be the most capital lottery ever known. There will be no blanks, but a small allotment of land, of about 20 acres, will, fall to the share of every adventurer, they are to be fairly assessed to their value; and it is thought that Government will then be enabled to make a general assessment throughout the kingdom, without the burthen to any land-holder. It will require time to digest the scheme properly, and to fix a proper price for the tickets, which must depend on the general estimate of the value of the lands to be disposed of.
General Sir Augustus Elliot, K.B. is coming home immediately from Gibraltar, and Lieutenant-General Rainsford is about to embark, in order to take the command of that fortress as Lieutenant-Governor thereof.
Lieutenant-General Sir Robert Boyd has obtained his Majesty's permission to wear the victorious word GIBRALTAR on the colours of his regiment, as an honourable distinction for the important services of that gallant officer and his corps during the memorable siege of that important fortress.
Earl Cornwallis and the Marquis de Fayette met at the late review of the Prussian troops at Potzdam, and had the honour of being introduced to each other by the veteran Frederick himself.
Yesterday some dispatches were received from the Governor of Dominica, brought by the Countess of Darlington, Captain Bethwick, arrived from that island; the Governor and garrison were in good health, but it does not mention any particulars of the late hurricane.
By accounts from the French islands, the hurricane has been felt there, though not so violently as to leeward. Much damage is done in several, and the Cassiopoea, a frigate of 40 guns, is supposed to have foundered.
The French are going to open three new ports in the island of St.Lucia as free ports for the Windward Islands, viz. one at St.Pierre for Matinique, one at Point au Petre for Guadaloupe and its dependencies, and one at Scarborough for Tobago; also three for Hispaniola, viz. one at Cape Francois, one at Point au Prince, and one at Cayet St. Louis.
Capt. Pine, who was so successful against Tippoo Saib, and after having been taken prisoner, was by that barbarian ordered to be thrown into a cauldron of boiling oil, but escaped, is now in town, and has been presented to the Court of Directors, and by them to Government.
Last week sixteen young Clergymen, lately ordained to that Ministry by letters demissary from the Bishop of London, embarked for America, where they are going to settle.
There never was known so many different Indian nations to be confederated, as have now entered into an union against the United States of America. Deputies from all the tribes inhabiting the Banks of the Ohio, and Mississippi, the Creek, Mosghes, and the other nations on the back of Georgia and Florida, have lately assembled at a grand Council Fire, and there is every reason to suppose they will commence hostilities early in the spring. Joseph the Mohawk King, had been the principal mover of this confederacy.
They write from Russia, that Thodore Pogorella, a Gentleman of Siberia, having collected about 500 men, broke out into rebellion, under pretence of reforming some abuses committed by the Empress's officers. His party soon encreased to upwards of 6000, which whom he committed the most shocking depredations, surprising several small forts, and putting the garrisons to the sword. But Colonel Twerdica having collected a small force, met with and attacked him near the village of Oeneskie, where Pogorella was killed, and his party entirely defeated. Col. Twerdica has been honourably rewarded for his services.
Extract of a letter from Padua, via Paris
"About a month ago, the house of Donna Theresa Almeda, situated near a league from this town, was discovered early in the morning to be broke open, and the lady found murdered in her chamber in a most shocking manner; she was stabbed in several parts of her body, her head was almost severed from it, and a ring of very considerable value cut off. Her domestics were all immediately confined on suspicion, and the body brought to town, which, together with a bloody knife found in the chamber, were exposed to public view in the chapel Nostra Signiora del Monte, and person placed secretly to observe the countenances and actions of those who came to view them. There was a person known by the name of Don Ignatius Perez, who had resided here for some years, made a considerable figure, lived in an elegant manner, and both visited and was visited by every person of fashion.
"This man happened to be passing by the chapel a few hours after the corpse was exposed, and seeing an immense crowd, had the curiosity to descend from his chariot and go in; it was observed be a person placed for that purpose, that his colour changed on viewing the body, but on seeing the knife which lay by, his confusion increased. He retired precipitately, and two of the officers followed him, saw him enter his own house, and posted themselves privately in sight of his door; in a short time a servant was observed to come out in a great hurry, whom one of the officer's traced to a cutler's house in a neighbouring street, and saw him return with the cutler to his master's. The cutler again came out and went home in a short time, when a party of guards seized him, and another detachment instantly took possession of the mansion of Don Ignatius, and secured his person. The cutler, on being brought before the Criminal Judge, and threatened with the torture extraordinary, made a confession which threw the whole city into confusion and astonishment; he acknowledged that he had made the knife and several others of the same sort, for Don Ignatius, that he was one of the gang, consisting of near 30 (several of whom had appeared in the most respectable characters) of which Don Ignatius was the chief. That almost every robbery and assassination which had been committed for ten years past had been done by their gang. That Perez's house was the receptacle of the plunder, and that in searching they would find secret rooms, where the booty and bodies of those strangers whom they had enticed there, and murdered, were concealed. In consequence of this confession, nearly all those desperadoes were apprehended, and on searching Don Ignatius's house, the private rooms were discovered, where not only an immense quantity of valuable things were found, but likewise a wardrobe containing every dress and disguise possible to conceive. They were brought to trial, and Don Ignatius with seven of the principals were condemned to be broke alive, which sentence was executed in the grand square last week. Ignatius was three hours after his limbs were broke before he expired. The rest of the gang were condemned, some to be strangled, and others to the gallies for life."
Capt. Mackenzie has received his Majesty's pardon for the murder of the soldier at Fort Moree, by shooting from a cannon, and is now detained in Newgate, and it is expected will be tried at the next Admiralty sessions, for piracy, in cutting out (with a detachment of his men) from under the guns of a Dutch fort, on the Coast of Africa, a Portuguese ship, with Dutch colours, in consequence of which a complaint has been laid against him by the Portuguese Ambassador. Government detain �11,000 worth of gold dust till he gives an account of the King's stores, which were intrusted to his care. His father has died since his confinement, and left him an estate of near �500 a year, but it is thought he will not be able to make any thing of it, it being mortgaged for a considerable sum. He is in a very poor state of health.
On Sunday morning a duel was fought between a student at law from Ireland, and a Scotch physician. An argument on the propositions was the cause of the quarrel. They measured no ground. The Scotchman fired first, and wounded his antagonist in the hip. The Irishman then fired and wounded his adversary in the neck over the collar-bone; the Scotchman, which his second shot, wounded the Irishman in the breast. The Irishman now observed, that though he had a right to break ground and advance, he would not avail himself of that advantage; and, throwing his pistol on the ground, drew his sword. The Scotchman refused to draw. You have had, said he, my life in your power, and I cannot use the advantage I have now over you. I know you cannot fence, whereas I am a master of the science. The seconds interposed - the combatants shook hands, and the principle of generosity displayed by them had such an effect, that the whole party burst into tears. We are happy to say the wounds were so slight, there is no apprehension of bad consequences.
Richard Asgill, Esq, who died a few days since, at his house near the Devizes, in Wiltshire, hath, by his will, given a legacy of �100 to St.Luke's Hospital for the benefit of incurables. He hath also left �100 to Christ's Hospital, near Newgate-street, and �100 to the Foundling Hospital.
Several old houses in Well-street, Goodman's-fields, are now pulling down, in order to clear the ground for the foundation of a new theatre, which is to be built there for Mr. Palmer of Drury-lane, who, we are assured, has taken a lease of the same for 300 years.
Sunday morning between twelve and one o'clock, a very alarming fire broke out in a sadler's house, in Change Alley, Cornhill. The flames extended very rapidly, and the utmost damage was apprehended; but, by an immediate application of the water engines, which were supplied with facility and expedition from the tanks or reservoirs of water, lately erected by the inhabitants of Cornhill, the fire was got under, without any other danger than totally consuming the house in which it commenced, and communicating in a trifling manner with two adjoining buildings.
BANKRUPTS. - Joseph Tyndall, and Thomas Bech [?], of Birmingham, needle-makers - Richard Newton, of Bristol, silk-mercer.
LONDON, THURSDAY, Nov. 3.
It was yesterday reported, that the King has made a proposal to the Prince of Wales of a very important kind. His Majesty proposed to settle one hundred thousand pounds per year on his Royal Highness for his establishment - that two hundred thousand pounds should be granted to pay his debts, and an adequate sum for compleating the buildings at Carleton-house - on condition that the Prince shall consent to marriage; and the Princess which his Majesty recommends is Frederica Louisa Wilhelmina, daughter of the Prince of Orange, Stadtholder, born the 28th of November, 1770, and consequently now fifteen years of age. His Majesty, if is said, has desired his Royal Highness to take three days to consider of this proposal, to which the Prince is reported to have given for answer, that he was sensible of his Majesty's paternal goodness in it, and he intreated him to believe, that he was sincerely disposed to the marriage state. He had also a high respect for the Lady, of whose accomplishments he had heard the warmest commendations; but he trusted his Majesty would excuse him from pledging his word to a Princess whom he had not seen. - Here, according to a report, the matter rests.
Last night their Majesties honoured the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, with their presence. They were accompanied by the Princess Royal and her sister, and attended as usual by Lord Salisbury, &c. &c. &c. - and the Ladies in waiting.
The dresses of the Royal Family were as follow : the King was in a chocolate colour, with broad gold lace. The Queen wore a striped sattin, the ground was purple, and the stripes embroidered gold lace. The Princesses are dressed in a pale Persian, the sleeves embroidered with gold. Their Royal Highnesses wore feathers, and their caps were extremely low. They wore black lace in a festoon fashion about their bosoms, and it descended ornamentally fashionable to the waist. The Queen and the Princesses were uniform as to ribbons : they were green. The two Princesses had plain white muffs : the Queen had not any.
The present Ministry, it is said, is employed in settling a new treaty of Commerce with the Emperor, greatly to the advantage of Germany and Great Britain, in which Mr. Songa, the Imperial Consul, is a principal agent.
By a gentleman just returned from Paris, we are informed, that there were never so many English in that city, as at present : he makes the number amount to at least 12,000. The French have remarked the visible increase, and go so far as to say - Paris est devenu une colonie Angloise. "Paris is become an English colony." As our countrymen who visit the continent are chiefly of the better sort, it is no wonder that there should be such a stagnation in trade, as unfortunately prevails now in every branch of commerce in the capital.
George Leonard Staunton, Esq. Lord Macartney's private Secretary, has been lately created an Irish Baronet.
By a gentleman just arrived from St.Augustine, we are informed, nothing can exceed the inveteracy of the Indians of Florida against the Spaniards. The latter have not an inhabitant a mile from the garrison; all the settlements which have been evacuated by the English on Atalamala River, and the inland parts of the country, are burned by the Indians, who never permit an uninhabited house to stand, from an idea of its being haunted by evil spirits. In short, nothing can exceed the uncomfortable situation of the Spaniards in that province. They have endeavoured to bribe over the Aconeck King, and the Cow-Keeper, who rejected their presents with distain.
The plan of establishing a corps of naval Cadets, in the manner of the French at Toulon, is revived. Plymouth is fixed as the most eligible port, on account of the cheapness of provisions. The number of youths to be entered at first is not known, but it is intended to be enlarged to 1000.

To an impertinent Scribbler, who occupied the Poet's Corner last Week.
BORN to no good, inheriting no praise,
Malignance fills thy soul, and marks thy ways :
The fates presiding at thy ill-tim'd birth,
Foretold thee such a grov'ling worm of earth.
Fame, which with worth and virtue ever dwells,
Resists thy courtships, and withstands thy spells :
WHARTON, indignant spurns thy venom'd praise;
Himself will guard a fame thous canst not raise :
Feeling no wrong, he needs no lame defence
From such a medling witling ape of sense : -
Nor worth, nor virtue, can thy arts annoy,
Whose praise no name can give, or shafts destroy.
The fire of G, so weak, hath coxcombs scar'd,
And burns to singe a saucy pedant's beard.
G. Nov.2, 1785.
No further impertinence will be noticed; but the Scribler, if he is not afraid for his nose, may leave his name with the Printer.
LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, Nov. 5.
A letter from Guernsey says, that the Revenge cutter has taken and brought in there a large Dutch smuggling vessel, which she fell in with two leagues from that island; she has on board 260 casks of Geneva, 110 bags of tea, as many of coffee, and divers sorts of other goods, besides tobacco.
Thursday at noon, in consequence of a disagreement about the prices of work, near two hundred journeymen in the service of Mr. Sedden, cabinet-maker, in Aldersgate-street, struck or left off work, to which they refuse to return, till their demands are complied with. The example of these men has been followed by others belonging to a great number of shops in different parts of the town.

Sailed the Hebe frigate on a cruize, and the Thorn sloop of war for Sheerness.
SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 5. That deserving actress, Mrs. Davies, was honoured with their usual tribute of regard from the public, at her benefit on Friday the 18th ult. The Theatre was filled in every part, nor do we remember a more genteel audience, or a performance received with louder bursts of applause. No less than four of her little family made their appearance in different characters, and afforded a very high entertainment. Master Davies was admirable in the Country Boy Prologue, and his lovely sister Henrietta gained infinite credit with him in the Duet Prologue. The Interlude, from Miss in her Teens, was charmingly supported by the children, and Valentine, scarcely five years old, astonished the audience in Capt. Flash.
Our Theatrical Entertainments are considerably strengthened by the additional Vocal Performers; and the new Dancers were greatly admired on Friday last, particularly Miss Michel, who displayed, in the Duchess of Devonshire's Minuet, the Allemande and Allegro, with great elegance and graceful execution.
SALISBURY, NOVEMBER 7.

The Mayor Elect of this city for the ensuing year will be sworn into his office on the 16th instant, at the Guildhall, by the Lord Bishop of Salisbury, according to ancient prescription by charter.
The Rev. Richard Moyston, Clerk, Doctor of Laws, was on Monday last presented to the rectory of White Waltham, in this county and diocese, void by the death of the late Rev. Dr. Dodwell, the last incumbent, worth above �200 per annum.
The Rev. Dr. Onslow, Canon of Christchurch, is presented to the Archdeaconry of this Diocese, vacant by the death of Dr. Dodwell.
We hear the vacant Canonry in this Cathedral will be filled up either by the Rev. Dr. Price, nephew to the Lord Bishop of Sarum, or the Rev. Mr. Charles Green, a nephew of the late Dean; and as these gentlemen are said to have an equality of votes in the Chapter, the election will probably hinge upon the event of the question of the Dean having a casting vote.
Wednesday a dispensation passed the Great Seal, to the Rev. Thomas Fox, of the rectory of Glanville Wootton, in the county of Dorset, and diocese of Bristol, together with the rectory of Maperton, in the same county.
Also a dispensation to the Rev. Charles Tahourdin [?], of the rectory of Letcombe Regis, in the county of Berks, together with a rectory of Cornwall, in the county of Oxford.
We hear that articles were presented in the last Ecclesiastical Court of our Cathedral, against a Clergyman of this diocese, for inebriety, quarrelling with his parishioners, and breaking the windows of the church whereof he is Minister.

A sky-lark, with white wings, is now in the possession of Mr. Gauntlett, at Taylor's Hospital, near St.Edmund's church in this city.
It is a curious fact that at this time the tables of many families in Somersetshire are daily served with very fine grapes, the produce of their gardens, whilst the country for many miles around cannot furnish a plate of apples ! The quantity of cyder made in Somersetshire last autumn was more than 10,000 hogsheads.
Saturday being the Anniversary of the Gunpowder Treason, was commemorated here as usual, with ringing of bells, bonfires, fire works, &c. &c.
A correspondent remarks, that the defeat of the plot for destroying King James and his Parliament by gunpowder on the 5th of November, has been attended with no very agreeable consequences to posterity; for it is now become a law, that on this anniversary, the lawless have the liberty to light up fires throughout England, and to endanger the lives and properties of the public, by throwing burning combustibles at random.
