FRIDAY, 8.

William Herbert was committed to Reading jail, charged on an inquifition taken the fame day at Letcombe Regis in Berks, with the wilful murther of his own fon, a lad about fourteen years of age. It appears that Herbert had sent the boy on an errand to Letcombe Regis, and on his staying longer than he thought neceffary, he went in fearch of him, threatening to murther him. The boy, who had been long ill, had stopped in a barn to reft himself about half way to Letcomb, which he had left but a few minutes when the father came up with him, ftruck him feveral times, and drove him on before him when they got near Letcomb, he knocked him down by a blow on the head, took him by the heels and dafhed him against the ground, and then threw him to a confiderable diftance. Two men at work in an adjoining field, feeing the tranfaction, ran and took up the boy, who lived but a few moments. They then pursued the father who attempted to escape, and properly fecured him.

THIS

IRELAND. Dublin, March 24. HIS day his Grace the Lord Lieutenant went in ftate to the Houfe of Peers, and gave the royal aflent to the following bills:Great duty bill; loan bill; for the advancement of trade; Poft-Office bill; fugar bill; tobacco bill; hawker's and pedlar's bill; duty on licences; duty on carriages; corn bill; coffee bill;, malt bill; qualification bill; Dublin entries for the Royal Exchange; 4000l. to the linen manufacture; goool. Protestant charter schools; 1000l. Dublin Society; 3000l. for building public offices; 500ol. Foundling hofpitals; 5000l. for building churches; 1000l. Hibernian fchool; 86ocl. to the house of industry; 1000l. Marine

Society; to take away the challenge to the array of pannels of jurors for want of a knight on trials, in which a peer or lord of parliament is party; to prevent dilapidations on church lands; Nenagh road bill.

When the Speaker of the Houfe of Commons of Ireland prefented the money bills for the royal affent, he addreffed the Duke of Rutland in the following words:

May it pleafe your Grace,

"No fyftem of government or of commerce can be fecure or permanent which is not founded in juftice; of this truth the hiftory of every great empire affords fufficient proofs, none more than the British: but however evident in theory this truth may have been at all times to thinking men, it feems to have had little influence upon the councils of nations, till within thefe few years, when experience, dearly purchafed, had removed those prejudices which mifled their understandings, and opened their eyes to their own intereft. From that period this kingdom has gradually raifed her head and extended her views; her conftitution has been restored, and her foreign commerce liberated from thofe chains which held it in bondage: but ftill the reformation was imperfect, one of the most important articles till remained unsettled--the commercial intercourfe between GreatBritain and this kingdom. Your Grace has wifely recommended to the attention of parliament, an equitable adjustment of that communication for the mutual advantage of both kingdoms. The Commons entered upon that difficult bufinefs with alacrity, and profecuted it with ardour; and there is reafon to expect that their exertions will be crowned with fuccefs, through the wifdom of his Majefty's councils, and the liberal principles which have been adopted by the legiflatures of both kingdoms. The great revolution which has taken place in America, and the confequent changes in the commercial policy of Europe, muft give a new direction to commerce; the fituation of this country, fo favourable to navigation, affords reafonable hopes that a confiderable portion of it may be diverted into this kingdom; but this advantage, and our late acquifitions, however valuable, will avail us little, if we do not exert our industry at home, and establish an opinion abroad, that our people are at peace among themfelves, and obedient to the laws. This is the critical moment, if we neglect it, and do not not feife the opportu nity before the current of trade has got into a feuled channel,, we shall probably lament our conduct when it will be too late,, and fall back into that languid, abject, and infignificant state, from which we vainly flatter ourfelves we had efcaped. If fuch fhall be our misfortune, it cannot with juftice be imputed to the neglect of the Commons; they have endeavoured with lenity, but firmnefs, to give vigour to the laws, to fatisfy and calm the minds of the people, and to encourage them to industry. The happy effects of thefe measures are already wifible, and I truft will foon refcue the reputation of the nation from thofe foul calumnies which have not only difgraced her character, but obftructed her improvement. Notwithstanding the variety and importance of thefe objects which have engaged

the

the attention of the Commons, they have not yet been unmindful of their duty to his Majesty or to the public in other refpects; they have made ample provifion for the exigencies of the ftate, for the honourable fupport of his Majefty's government, and for the maintenance of public credit; and though to put an end to the ruinous practice of running in debt, they have found themselves under a neceffity of impofing additional taxes to the amount of about one hundred and forty thoufand pounds a year, in order to raife the revenue to the level of the public expences, yet they truft they have done it in fuch a manner that the burthen will be little felt by the people; and they rely with confidence on your Grace's juftice and affection for this kingdom, that you will prevent, to the utmost of your power, any deficiencies, by enjoining the strictest economy in every department of the ftate; and that your Grace will reprefent to his Majefty, in the moft favourable light, the conduct of his faithful Commons, by whofe command, and in whofe name, now present to your Grace, for the royal affent, the bills, &c." Belfast, April 5. Captain Gillis, of the Three Brothers, belonging to Belfaft, on his late voyage home from America, difcovered an inland, or large rock, in lat. 57. 25. off the Iland of Torry, N. E. coaft of Ireland, 65 leagues, which island or rock is not defcribed in any of our charts. It feems to be of confiderable dimenfions, and at a diftance wears a conical appearance. A range of funken rocks branches to the eastward of the above ifland for three or four miles, which is highly dangerous for veffels to approach.

WEST INDIES.

ADVICES have been received from the

Weft-Indies, dated fo late as the 11th of March, and bring an account that there will be crops of fugar more than fufficient to load all the fhips in that trade, fo that many of them have engaged to make a fecond trip this year.

So far our affairs in that quarter wear a favourable afpect. But what chiefly engages the attention of the planters, and may lead to a very difagreeable iffue, is the difpute with the Spaniards, concerning the logwood cutters, in that part of South America known by the name of the Mufquito Shore. The particulars of this business as mentioned in the Jamaica papers, are as follows:

Kingston, Jan. 27. The Mary, Capt. Bowen, arrived in the harbour of Kingfton on Sunday from Black River on the Mufquito fhore, with intelligence that a floop of war anchored on that coaft from the Havannah, in December laft, on board of which were three Spanish officers, charged with dispatches from the governorgeneral of Cuba, to Major Lowrey, commandant of the British poft at Black River, which they delivered to him immediately after they landed. The tenor of thefe difpatches, it feems, was a peremptory requifition, to know if Major Lowrey had received any official inftructions from the court of Great-Britain, or elsewhere, that authorifed him to withdraw the troops and inhabitants from that country, and giving him to understand,

that if the territory fhould not be vacated by March next to the Spanish commander, he should be under the neceflity of compelling them to retire by force of arms. To this meflage we underftand Major Lowrey returned no answer, but after entertaining his vifitors in the moft hofpitable manner, gave an acknowledgement that he had received the difpatches, and promised to fend a flag of truce to the Havannah, with his final determination on the subject in a fortnight after. It was the prevailing opinion among the people at Black River, when the exprefs came away,' that the Spaniards are ferioully difpofed to carry their threats into execution, and that they are making confiderable preparations, both at the Havannah, and in the neighbourhood of the English fettlements on the main, exprefsly for that purpofe.

Through the fame channel we alfo learn, that 2000 Spaniards were ftationed within fix days march of the Mufquito fhore, and that in confequence thereof Major Lowrey was, with unre mitting ardour, putting the place into the best pofture of defence his fmall force would admit of; he had alfo convened the Indian chiefs together, who had promifed him in the moft folemn manner every afliftance and fupport; so that it may be reasonably expected, with the force already there, joined to the affiftance which may be fent from this ifland, that our countrymen will be fufficient to baffle all the efforts the Spaniards may make to difpoffefs them of that valuable country.

His Majefty's floop Swan, and a tranfport with arms and ammunition, failed on Monday from Port-Royal for the Mufquito fhore. Major M'Murdo, of the third regiment, we understand, went paffenger in the Swan, charged with defpatches for Major Lowrey.

Feb. 3. A gentleman of veracity just arrived exprefs from the Mufquito fhore and the Bay of Honduras, brings the following alarming intelligence: that about the 16th of December latt, a body of 500 Spaniards, well armed, took poffeffion of the Iland of Rattan, and drove a few English fishermen, who had eftablished themfelves there, from their habitations. The Spaniards are with great diligence now fortifying that ifland, which has an excellent harbour on the fouth fide, from whence they mean to carry on their operations by fea against the Mufquito fhore. The fame gentleman adds, that large bodies of regulars and militia are in motion at Porto-Bello, Carthagena, Guatimala, Yucatan, Tobafco, and New Orleans, avowedly for the purpofe of exterminating the whole nation of Mufquito Indians, and their allies the English, on that coaft, fhould they afford them any fuccour or affittance. Don Mathias Galvez, Viceroy of Mexico, who is the planner of this pious expedi tion, has pledged himself to the court of Spain in the moit folemn manner for its complete fuccefs, and has given the chief command to his fon, Don Galvez, now governor of Cuba: the 20th of March next is fixed for the commencement of hoftilities.

When the last advices came from the Mufquito Shore, a Spanish frigate of 40 guns had arrived in the Gulf of Dulce, and was lying at anchor under Fort Omoa. Five hundred regular troops, and

Rr 2

and 900 voluntiers, a ragged banditti of Mulattoes, Meltees, and Negroes, had alfo reached Druxillo, in the vicinity of the Bay of Honduras, which city is appointed as the general rendezvous of the force to be employed in this expedition.

The Spanish governors in all the provinces furrounding the Mufquito Shore have published edicts, prohibiting all perfons, living within their rfpective jurifdictions, from trading with the English, or felling them provifions, either at the Bay of Honduras, or the Shore, under the fevereft

pains and penalties: in confequence of which

every fpecies of friendly intercourfe is at an end between the two nations in that quarter.

On Saturday the 23d inft. fome dispatches were received at the fecretary of state's office from the Earl of Chefterfield at Madrid, which were of fuch import, that they were immediately forwarded to the King at Windfor. It feems the Spaniards have become accufers, infifting that by the accounts from Don Galvez, the governor, as well as from other authentick information, the English fettlers have been the aggreffors, encroaching upon the boundaries, and treating the Catholick King's fubjects with violence, and his officers with disrespect.

EAST INDIES.

EPORTS have lately been circulated of the great and fudden profperity of the Company's affairs. The public has been fo often misled by pretended and contradictory accounts of their circumstances, that we fhall not be hafty in copying any thing that may appear on a fubject with regard to which men of character and abilities hold fuch different opinions. The following is the fubftance of the advices received from Bengal the beginning of this month;

The fhip Bellona, Capt. Richardfon, is gone on a voyage to Malacca and China, from whence fhe is to proceed to the fouth-west coast of America. She failed the 11th of May.

There has been a mutiny of the black cavalry in English pay at Arnee, on account of arrears; they have made their officers prifoners.

Six midshipmen who were taken by Monfieur Suffrein in the captured fhips, and fent up to Tippoo, have renounced both their country and religion, and voluntarily turned Mahometans, and married Mahometan women.

On the 4th of June a Portuguese fhip called the Priozo, laden with 600 pipes of Madeira, and a very rich cargo from Europe, was totally loft on the Gafper-Sand, at the enterance of the Ganges; the captain, two officers, and 40 men perifhed for want of affiftance, which could not be had but from Calcutta: this is the fecond Portuguese thip that has been loit at the enterance of the river, within two months, both with cargoes of Madeira wine.

The heat at Mefulapatam laft fummer was very uncommon and extraordinary, the thermometer was up at 109, and at Ellore rofe to the aftonishing height of 120 out of the fun.

Mr. Haftings was to embark for Europe the 15th of March 1785.

confirmed by Congrefs. Their first calculation was published in 1775, for levying a proportion of taxes in each state, and amounted to 3,137,809 fouls. In January 1784, another computation was made, when the number of fouls was found to be but 2,389,300, fo that in nine years only the population of the United States was decreased 748,569 perfons.

A difficulty has been started between our civil governors in America and the Congrefs, concerning the evacuation of Niagara, Detroit, and fome other pofts upon the Upper Lakes. Gen. Haldimand firft refufed to give them up, though they came within the American boundary line, and his conduct has, in that particular, been in fome measure approved by minifters; fo that the 29th and 31ft regiments are ordered immediately to relieve the 8th regiment, now in poffeffion of thofe forts.

The Spaniards and Portuguese are under great alarm for their poffeffions in South America, The Peruvians, Brafilians, and other natives pant for their emancipation more than ever. few years will certainly produce great changes in the fouth, as it has lately done in the north.

A

According to letters from Charles-Town, South-Carolina, the governour and affembly of that province continue to tranfact all public bufinefs with little or no interference of Congress, and they were the most flourishing of all the United States. The foreign orders for Carolina rice were fo great that they did not expect to be able to complete them this year, even though the crops fhould turn out very good. Vait quantities are in demand for the markets at Smyrna, Scanderoon, Conftantinople, and Muffilat. But the capture of three or four fhips in the Mediterranean fea, by the Barbary pirates, had determined them to fend no more veffels thither, but fuch as were fit for defence.

An American fhip has been at the cape of Good Hope. Her further deftination was not known,

The Dutch are now put in poffeffion of their town and fort of Chinturah, but with feveral

tion between the Emperour and the Dutch, the iffue appears to be fill as uncertain as it was feveral months ago; and on fo complicated a fubject there is no end of fpeculation. The court of France feems to efpoufe the caufe of the States more effectually than was at first expected. To the intrigues of this court the motions of the Turks on the Imperial frontiers are most probably owing.

A double marriage between the royal families of Spain and Portugal is at length concluded. This junction is for the purpofe of preventing the extinction of the Braganza family, neither

the

the Prince of Beira, nor Don Pedro Xavier having any iffue by their aunts, to whom they are

married.

Lisbon, March 26. The treaty for the marriage between the Infanta of Portugal and the Infant Don Gabriel of Spain is figned.

Madrid, March 29. On Easter Sunday the 27th inft. the Portuguese ambaffadour at this court make his public entry into Madrid, and in a formal audience of the King of Spain, demanded the Infanta Donna Charlotta (eldeft daughter of the Prince of Afturias) in marriage for the Infant Don Juan of Portugal. In the evening the contract was read and figned in the prefence of the royal family, the grandees of Spain, and the great officers of state. After which the marriage ceremony was performed by

and brotherly love, which does honour to the age and reign under which it took place. The Emprefs's confeffor, the Prelate Iwin Pamfilo, gave a grand dinner to the ecclefiaftics of all the different religions exifting at Petersburgh.Among thofe invited were the Ruffian Archbifhop of Polocz, the Patriarch of Grufiana, feveral Ruflian archmandrites, a bishop, a prior, and several other Roman Catholic priests, fix Lutheran preachers, and those of the English, French, Dutch, and German Proteftant churches. Never, perhaps, was fuch a dinner of toleration given, especially at the house of the confeffor of a sovereign potentate.

This alliance will probably occafion a change in the politics of this kingdom with refpect to Portugal. Our trade to that country has been for fome time on the decline; and it is now in contemplation to negociate certain articles of commerce between England and France, the chief of which will be to lower the duties on French wines and brandies, on condition that the French allow the importation of our woolen and fteel wares.

The Spaniards are preparing for another expedition against Algiers, in which they will, doubtlefs, be affifted by many of the maritime powers of Europe. The mifcarriage of the last attempt has railed the confidence of the Algerines to fuch a pitch of audacity that the navigation of the Mediterranean is no longer fafe to the fhips of any nation.

Advices have been lately received from the British conful at Leghorn, that they have refused to restore an English fhip lately taken near Malaga, or to releafe any of her crew. The depredations of these barbarians are doubtless a great check on the trade of our enemies in time of war, but they are at best but dangerous and uncertain friends, unlefs when we have a fufficient force in their neighbourhood to keep them in awe.

Vienna, March 19. The new regulations of his Imperial Majefty, refpecting the interiour government of the kingdom of Hungary, have been published in the Gazette of this city.
