Some Selected Reports from the St.James's Chronicle
Thursday, September 7, to Saturday, September 9, 1775.
FRIDAY, Sept. 8.
Extract of a Letter from Fredericksburgh, Virginia, July 20, 1775.
"The Continental Congress have published a Manifesto, declaring they are determined to oppose every parliamentary Measure with respect to America, until their Grievances are redressed; and declaring to the World the Right they have to do so. Lord Dunmore, some few Days ago, had a very narrow Escape for his Life. It was made known at Williamsburgh that he had come ashore at his own Plantation, a few Miles below the Town; and a Perty was immediately sent to take him; but he fortunately got Notice of their Approach, just Time enough to get out of their Reach by Boat. They fired two or three Times at him.
"It is whispered, but with what Truth I cannot say, that every Man will soon be obliged to declare himself on one Side or the other, and that no Neutrals will be allowed to stay in the Country."
The Fleet now in the Spanish West Indies, we are assured, amounts to 16 Men of War of the Line, and a proportionable inferior Force. Eight of these Ships are doubly manned.
Letters from Lisbon mention, that a rich Ship from Goa, was lately taken off the Canary Islands by three Barbary Corsairs, and carried her into Fedel, where the Ship and Cargo were condemned, and the Crew sent into Slavery.
Letters from Malaga mention that a Barbary Chaloupe with 70 Moors on board, ran on Shore near that Place, in Pursuit of a Neapolitan Ship; she was soon beat to Pieces, and all the Crew perished.
Wednesday se'nnight, about Twelve at Night a Post-Boy carried a naked lighted Candle into one of the Stables of the Angel-Inn, in Doncaster, and very foolishly stuck it against the Wall, till be dressed his Horse; when, being wearied with his long Day's Work, he very inconsiderately fell asleep with the Halter in his Hand, and so continued for upwards of three Hours, during which Time the Candle fell amongst, and set Fire to the Litter about him, and some Hay which was in that Part of the Stable, which suffocated six good Chaise Horses, and would have done much more Damage, had not the Lad providentially awoke just in Time to save himself and three more Horses, which were in the Stable, from being suffocated.
Tuesday Night after the Prisoners were locked up in Clerkenwell Bridewell, the Keepers hearing a horrid Noise among them, two of them went and called out four of the principal Rioters to chain together, when Harris (apprehended on Suspicion of shooting Mr. Gordon) drew a Knife, and cried, "D--n your Eyes cut away," on which one of the Keepers drew a Hanger, and with the flat Side of it knocked down one of the Prisoners, and then cut Harris across the Arm, who immediately fell on his Back, and sued for Mercy. The Prisoners were then all chained together Back to Back, in which Situation they were locked up in a Room, and remained quiet the remaining Part of the Night; and were Yesterday removed to Newgate.
Wednesday Evening between Seven and Eight o'Clock, Mr. Stocker, Stone-Mason, of Hampton, was knocked down and robbed by three Men and two Woman near Bushey Park, who took from him his Watch and 8d 6d and made off.
Wednesday Night about Eleven o'Clock, Mr. Milles, Glazier, in Southampton Buildings, was attacked at his Door by three Fellows, two of whom held him while the other rifled his Pockets of his Watch and Forty Shillings in Money.
Married.] On Wednesday, George Rogers, Esq. and East-India Gentleman, to Miss Esther Coombes, Niece to Lady Cornwallis.
Died.] On Tuesday, at his House at Bow, Mr. William Wright, formerly a Merchant of this City.- On Wednesday, Mr. Rich, Rope-maker, at Wapping Wall.
SATURDAY, Sept. 9.
IRELAND.
Dublin, Sept 1. At the Assizes of Wexford was tried a Cause between Edward Turner, Esq. against John Morton, Esq. and Richard Morton, Printer of the Wexford Journal, on an Action of �3000 brought by the former against the two latter; one as the Author, and the other as the Publisher of a Libel against the said Turner. During the Trial, which lasted ten Hours, it appeared, that some Cattle had been stolen from John Morton, Esq. who applied to Turner (he being the Justice of the Peace) to take Examinations against the Thieves, which Turner refused to take;- that Mr. Morton then applied to another Justice, who also refused taking them, alledging that the Justices of the County of Wexford had entered into an Agreement that each of them should act in his own Neighbourhood, and not interfere or take Examinations on Matters arising in the Vicinage of another. On this Mr. Morton appealed to the Public, stating the whole Affair in the Wexford Journal, and concluding with these Words, (on which the Action was brought):- "As the Justices of the County have entered in this Agreement, if it should happen that, from Prejudice or Ignorance of his Duty, any Justice should refuse the Examination of a Person in his Neighbourhood, how shall he obtain Redress ? Must he not lie at the Mercy of every Invader of the Law." - After a very strict Charge to a very respectable Jury, they brought in their Verdicts for the Defendants, by which the whole Costs (not inconsiderable) fall on the Plaintiff.
LONDON
A Commission is said to be preparing to appoint General Howe Commander in Chief of the Forces in America, in the room of General Gage, who is expected in England by the Time the Parliament meets.
The Frederick Maria, Kuil, from London to Stettin, sailed last October, and has not since been heard of.
Yesterday at the Public Office in Bow-Street, Mr. Joseph Vaux, Haberdasher, in Cornhill, charged Philip Heath, his Journeyman, with stealing a large Quantity of valuable Goods from him, and Martha Constantia Geale with receiving them, knowing them to be stolen. In the Course of the Examination, Mr. Vaux related some Causes he had of suspecting the Journeyman, and as he had an Acquaintance with Miss Geale (who lived in Surry) got a Search Warrant against her House, where he found a Quantity of his Goods, which were produced and sworn to; on which Heath was committed, and M.C. Geale ordered to be detained till she could find sufficient Bail to answer the above Charge, and Mr. Vaux was bound over to prosecute the former at the Old Bailey, and the latter at the next Surry Assizes. The Prisoners seemed very much affected with their melancholy Situation, and when asked whether they chose to say any Thing in their Defence, burst into a Torrent of Tears.
William Lewis, on Suspicion of stealing a Diamond Ring, the Property of John Howell; George Holmes, for stealing a Silver Watch and Seal, the Property of William Walkland; and Joseph and Edward Jones, for stealing some Goods, the property of Thomas Hassleston, were committed, and the Parties bound to prosecute.
Died.] On Thursday, at his House at Copped-Hall, in Essex, John Conyers, Esq. Member for that County. - On Monday, at his House in Bury-Court, St. Mary Axe, the Hon. David Falconer, Brother to Lord Halkerton, and an eminent Insurance Broker in this City. - At Bristol, a few Days ago, John Platt, Esq Mayor of Monmouth.- Sunday Evening suddenly, Mr. Benj. Yates, of Abingdon, Berks. - On Thursday Evening, at his House at Richmond in Surrey, the Rev.Mr. Holmes.- Last Week, at Macclesfield, John Stafford, Esq.
POSTSCRIPT.
LONDON.
General Gage's Orders to prevent the tolling of Bells at any of the frequent Deaths that happen within the Walls of Boston, are so strictly observed, that we hear that a Clock-Maker, who in setting a Clock was obliged to strike repeatedly, has been severely punished by Martial Law, which is the only Rule of Government in that unhappy Town.
As it is forbidden to let off any Gun or Pistol within the Town of Boston, for Fear of giving an Alarm, a Correspondent observes, that it is lucky for the Inhabitants that they have so few Vegetables to eat; for those being of a flatulent Nature, might furnish Explosions loud enough to terrify General Gage, and compel his Troops to be frequently under Arms at unseasonable Hours.
A Gentleman who arrived on the last Ship from Boston, assures us, that Hogarth himself could have represented no Objects more ridiculous than the Figure of the Tory Patrole to whose Vigilance General Gage has entrusted the nightly Care of that Place. The only Service they are of, is to interrupt the Assignations of the very few Cats that have not yet been roasted; while at the same Time they wear out their own Shoes, of which they have as few to spare.
Application has been made to Lord S--f---h to use his Influence in raising two Highland Regiments, but his Lordship replied, that the Land Owners of Scotland had prevented a Possibility of raising Half the Number, as they had banished their Tenants to America by increasing their Rents.
Lord Cavan, it is believed, will shortly embark for America, in order to take Command to the Southward.
Insurrections of a very alarming and dangerous Nature are dreaded in Ireland, in the Course of the ensuing Spring, if Troops be not sent over from this Country to replace the Irish Regiments now serving in America.
Of the Wounded at the Attack of the Rebel Lines on Bunker's Hill, we hear, that 360 private Men have already died of their Wounds, which is somewhat more than Half. The same Account positively asserts, that the Return of the Sick only in the Hospitals, on the 23d of July, amounted to between 16 and 1700 Men, besides more than 300, unable to perform Duty. Most of the latter belong to the two last Reinforcements arrived from Ireland.
A Correspondent, who professes himself ready to spill the last drop of his Blood to preserve a due Subordination of the Colonies to the Mother Country, declares with great Warmth against the Conduct of the present Ministry against America. The War, he says, was provoked by them; they picked the Quarrel, and then used every Method to draw the Anger of Great Britain upon the Colonists. Our Correspondent seems to allow that the War must be pushed vigorously by us, and that America must be subdued by all Hazards; but he insists that Peace might have been had by able Negociators on our own Terms, and the wanton Despotism of a certain Junto has plunged us into a Dispute that may ruin America, and give an irreparable Wound to Great Britain. Those who had for some Time entertained a Notion, that sooner or later we must have had a War with America, by no Means allow that this was the Time for provoking Hostilities. America produced annually Two Millions to the Advantages of our Trade, besides being the grand Nursery for Sailors : We have lost these Two Millions, and must squander Twenty before we reduce the Colonies to the State wished by the Junto.
It is said, that many of the most respectable among the present Ministry were very far from advising the late Proclamation, and that the most sanguine among a certain Junto are much alarmed at the Force required for the Reduction of the Colonies.
Letters by the Lady Gage, arrived at Falmouth from New-York, mention that Provisions were rather scarce at Boston; but that just before she sailed two Ships had arrived there with Stores for their Troops, and likewise fresh Cloathing, which were very much wanted.
Thursday last, Mr. Silvester, jun. of Sot's-Hall, near Vauxhall, was robbed on Clapham Common by three Footpads, of his Watch, Money, and Great Coat, and had it not been for the Humanity of one of them, they would have stripped him stark naked.
This Morning George Jackson, Esq. of Old Palace-Yard, was married to Mrs. Neale, Widow of Robert Neale, Esq. late of Shaw, in the County of Wilts.
This Day was married, at St.Bride's, Mr. Stephen Butler, of the Savoy, to Miss Elizabeth Potts, of Silver-Street, Fleet-Street.
Coventry, Sept. 8. Monday last a sad Accident happened upon the Turnpike Road at Stroichalf-Gate near this City :- As the Wife of one Joseph Guest was walking before a Drove of Cows, coming from Warwick Fair, in order to get rid of one, which she thought was making up to her, she threw her Cloak behind her, which so irritated the Beast that she immediately tossed the poor Woman, and gored her in a most shocking Manner.
Cambridge, Sept 8. The Rev. Richard Beaden, B.D. Public Orator in this University, is empowered by a Dispensation under the great Seal to hold the Rectory of Little Burstead in the County of Essex, together with the Rectory of Stansford Rivers in the same County, worth �520 per Ann.
Last Week was married, Mr. Wm. Hunt, Grocer, at Donnington in Lincolnshire, to Miss Burbanks, Daughter of Mr. Burbanks, Maltster of Horbling.
Lately was married, the Rev. Mr. Benjamin Round, of Maidstone in Kent, to Miss Sally Haynes, of Hertford.
On Tuesday last died Mrs. Clapham, Wife of Mr. Clapham, a Brewer in this Town.
Last Week died, the Rev. Francis Hawkins, Rector of Gobion in Bedfordshire.
Tuesday se'nnight died at her House near Wellingborough in Northamptonshire, aged 72, Mrs. Walker, Relict of Joshua Walker, Esq., deceased.
A few Days ago a Whale, 22 Feet long, was thrown up by the Sea at Snettisham Shore in Norfolk.
Hereford, Sept 7. On Thursday last the Rev. Henry Taswell, Clerk, was instituted by the Rev. Dr. Wetherell, Dean of Hereford, to the Vicarage of Norton Canon in the County and Deanry of Hereford, on the Presentations of the Dean and Chapter.
Last Week was married, Mr. Thomas Jones, of Cholstrey, in this County, to Miss Whitcott, of Whilley, near Presteigne.
Yesterday Morning died, Richard Moore, Esq, one of the Aldermen of this City.
On Sunday last died, at Landovery, in the County of Carmarthen, the Lady of E.M.D. Howorth, Esq of that Place.
On the 29th ult died Erasmus Vaughan, of Trecoon, in Pembrokeshire, Esq.
Thursday Evening last a Respite came to our County Gaol, during his Majesty's Pleasure, for Lewis Williams, a Convict under Sentence of Death.

To MR. GARRICK.
SIR,
I HAVE this Moment read a few Lines addressed to you in a Morning Paper of Tuesday, signed Convenience, in which a long wished for Alteration is pointed out, to render the Admission to the first Gallery of your Theatre more safe and commodious than it is at present.
If, Sir, you reflect one Moment on the very Concourse of People always assembled when your Name is announced in Bills of the Day, eagerly pressing to partake of that Pleasure which they are sure of receiving from your inimitable Performance; the continual Obstruction arising from two Entrances, and only one Office of Receipt; the utter Impossibility of one Man's being able to officiate so quick as the almost insupportable Situation of the People at such Time necessarily requires; the very great Numbers of timorous People (particularly the Female Sex) continually excluded the Pleasure which they in vain wish to be Partakers of, but are prevented by their Fears so justly founded; the Means of obviating this Inconvenience being so easy and practicable; when you have weighed these Circumstances, Sir, I entertain not the least Shadow of a Doubt, but you will prove to the Public how willing you are to render their Entrance to your Theatre as convenient, as you never fail to make it agreeable when entered, by immediately executing the Alteration abovementioned.
Your's, &c.
THEATRICUS.

Diary of a Journey from Calais to Barcelona
continued. See No. 2270.
Lelliers, Aug. 15.
FOUND the White-Swan a very imposing House : The Canon d'Or, I am told, is a better. Bill 12 Livres, 10 Sous.
Breakfasted at Bethune, a small fortified Town, where I was accosted by a beautiful well-dressed young Girl, who urged me very much to go to her House : It seems the Girl engaged the Attention of the Comte d'Artois when he passed lately to Dunkirk. No English dwell at Bethune. Passed through Souchet, a fine Country, and a plentiful Harvest, to Arras, the capital City of Artois, delightfully situated, and makes a noble Appearance, not much unlike Oxford at a Distance. Put up at the Hotel D'Artois. A civil, but dirty, House. Bill 13 Livres.
Cambray, Aug 16.
Arrived at the Gates after Nine; could not be admitted; slept at a Cottage without the Gates; found good cold Roast Veal, Beef Alamode, and excellent Wine. Bill 8 Livres.
Aug. 17. Entered the Town; went to the Angel, near the Grande Place. The Aubergiste, tho' close to me, neither answered my Call, nor sent a Servant, till be perceived I was backing out again; and then I was as silent to his Entreaties as he had been to mine. Went to the Lion d'Or, where, after much Difficulty, got Tea, &c. for Breakfast; without cold Pigeons, and other Dishes, which the Host would fain have put before us. It is singular, that the Publicans in France are the only People a Traveller meets with, who are not rather troublesome with over Civility ! Here I bought four little Pieces of Cambrick; the Merchant refused the Money I offered, and turned me from his Shop; then dropping one Piece behind the Counter, and wrapping up the other three, called me back again : His Trap did not succeed, and by that Means I made a bonne Marche.
St.Quintin, Aug 18.
From Arras to this Town the Road is good, the Country fine, and the Town delightfully situated. Found fourteen English Residents in it; they told me every Thing was dear; but in Comparison to England I am convinced it is cheap. Put up at the Swan, a true French Inn, civil and dirty. Staid one Day and two Nights. Bill 16 Livres.
Cerisy, Aug. 19.
Mistook the Way from St.Quintin; went twelve Miles out of our Road; met a civil, sensible Farmer, who went three out of his to shew us over the Stubble Land to a String of Villages, to avoid going back again. Stopt at the first to breakfast : A Cottager boiled our Tea Kettle, and gave us Bread and Milk. The whole Village got about us; they had never before seen an Englishman, but had often heard our Country was tres riche, and a Shilling given for our good Chear convinced them of the Truth of what they had heard : Not one of them had either Shoes or Stockings; but all healthy and chearful. The most industrious and hard-working People in France, and in England too, fare the worst. Passed by Laon, a large Town, situated on the Top of an oval Mountain, the Base of which was surrounded by Vineyards, the first we had met with; bought a Bottle of the Vin de Pays for ten Sous. Dined under a Hedge, on Fruit, Cheese, and Laon Wine. No English dwell in Laon. A heavy, sandy Soil, and a barren Country near the Road, but ornamented by distant Views of Villages, Convents, Vineyards, &c. Bill 9 Livres. Cheval Blanc, a sad House.
Baron au Bacq, Aug.20.
A Village situated on the Banks of the River, which divides Picardy from Champagne; the Post House, an excellent Inn, and cheap. But few English pass this Way. Bill 8 Livres.
Rheims, Aug21.
Paid six Sous for passing the River (the Price only four) this was the first Penny paid for passing either Gate, Bridge, or River (near 200 Miles) from Calais to Rheims. From Baron au Bacq to this Town the Country has a naked Appearance, and a marley Soil, which however produces the most delicious of Wines, and the best Fruit. Here I found Peaches, Nectarines, Pears, Grapes, &c. in the highest Perfection, and bought more for Sixpence than a Guinea would purchase at Covent-Garden. This is a large good Town full of Tradesmen, and Wine Merchants; it is ornamented with many Churches, Convents. Hospitals, &c. but chiefly by its beautiful Cathedral:
A large Gothick Structure. infinitely superior to any Thing of the Kind I have ever seen; and here it was the present King was lately crowned; a Church highly worthy of such an Office, and into which no one can enter. without being struck with a reverential Awe. In this ancient Town is still standing a Triumphal Arch, built by the Romans, near the Porte de Mars: It is composed of three Arches, the middle Arch is 35 Feet high, and 15 wide; under this Arch is cut in Basso Relievo, Romulus and Remus sucking the Wolf, with the Shepherd Faustulus, and Acca, his Wife. On the smaller is Leda embracing Jupiter in the Form of a Swan. This curious Piece of Antiquity is preserved with great Care, and is so built round to support it, that much of its original Beauty is concealed. The Depredations of Time have so effaced the Marks of the Chissel, that the Sculpture has now more the Appearance of Chance than Art; yet what remains is a Proof that it is the Work of no mean Artist. Found only one English Lady an Inhabitant of this Town; and one French Lady (Madame Desjardine) who is worth an Hundred of either Nation. The Windmill, and we Red House, are the two principal Inns in this Town, both very imposing: and the latter, if not the former, very dirty.
A WANDERER.
