Mr. Eden fpoke after Mr. Daly.-He said that

him much concern to differ that day in opi-
ion from fome gentlemen with whom he wished
and hoped, in general to concur; but it was a
confolation to differ on a point of mere fpecula
ive reafoning, and not of permanent impor-
tance. As a fervant of the public, and filling a
very refponfibie fituation, he was determined,
at all times to guard against the enthusiasm of
the day, whatever it might be and to preferve
coolly and respectfully, the even tenor of his

The temper of the machine of govern ment has taken fuch a bias. Almost all the countries in the world that have been enslaved, have been enllaved by the army. If a man has two titles to his eftate, is it policy to burn one of them? No man in his fenfes, who drives at the mercy of the form, and has two or three anchors on board, will fling away one of them, when his means of fafety is depending on it. When the act was first introduced, no man was inspired with the many fine reafons, fince that time adduced in behalf of its being perpetual; but when the bill came from England, they were new quickened with underflanding, and they feemed to difcover a thousand advantages in the altera

TRANSACTIONS.

N the 22d initant, about ten o'clock at

Night, 2 fire broke out in the quarter called Gibali, fituated towards the middle of the harbour, which a high north wind extended to fuch a degree, as to baffle, for fome time, the efforts made to fupprefs it. This conflagration, the greatest perhaps that ever happened, continued during 62 hours, without intermiffion, with fuch fury, that one of the largest palaces, the habitation of the Aga of the Janiffaries, dif appeared in less than ten minutes. The flames proceeded from fea to fea, and burned even the interior of the Seven Towers, at the oppofite extremity of the city. In this direction the fire raged three miles in length, through the richest and beft inhabited streets, on a front fometimes a mile bread, and fometimes lefs, according to the irregular hilly fituation of the city. In fome places it extended in different directions, fo that at one time there appeared no lefs than eleven diftinct conflagrations, molt of which ceafed only at the fea fide, after confuming the very wharfs. It is impoffible to eftimate the loffes of all kinds occafioned by this calamity; but it is certain that numbers of people perifhed in the flames, and that many were driven by them into the fea, and unfortunately drowned. Previous to thefe lad difafters with which this unfortunate city has been lately vifited, it was fuppofed to contain 70,000 houfes, of which it is believed

about two-fifths now lie in ruins. It is more
eafy to conceive than defcribe the scene of dif-

trefs which a city in this lamentable fituation
must exhibit, with perhaps. 200,000 unprovided
inhabitants: The Grand Signior and all the mi-
nitters of the Porte, as ufual, attended on this
awful occafion, and diftributed money to the
people; and an order was published by the
Mufti to fufpend the faft of the Ramazan, that
the people might recruit their firength, and be
the more able to work. Owing to the direction
of the wind, which continued high during the
fire, the flames did not approach the quarter of
the Porte and Seraglio; but the people of the
law have fuffered prodigioufly: among other
public edifices, all the chambers of the Janiffa
ries, upwards of 50 mofques, 300 corn-mills,
and 200 public ovens, have been destroyed.

INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON, September 28, 1782. HIS day the lord mayor, accompanied by the aldermen, fheriffs, recorder, &c. went to Guildhall, where after the ufual ceremonies, Meff. Taylor and Cole, the two fheriffs, being fworn in, they then proceeded to the election of a lord mayor for the year enfuing, when Mr. Peckham, the next alderman in rotation, was chofen without oppofition.

O. 10.] Was expofed to public view the Cenotaph in Guildhall to the memory of the late earl of Chatham, whofe figure elevated on a bafe, fixed on a rock, in the habit of a Roman Senator, appears gracefully looking on an other figure reprefenting the city of London; his left hand directs the helm of government, whilft his right embraces Commerce, who, charged with her proper attributes, is plea fantly fmiling on her kind protector, through whofe zeal, affifted by the four quarters of the world, he is pouring plenty into the lap of Britain.

The city, in her mural crown, with a lock of gratitude, is addreffing her noble friend, pointing the while to Commerce; at her feet are placed the emblems of industry, and of her right hand thofe of Juftice and Power. Upon the plinth is engraved the infcription.

12.] By the late exprefs from India, there are authentic advices from Bengal of the 19th of April, which give the most pleafing accounts of the prefent flourishing ftate of that government. By these we learn, that there is the greateft profpect of an immediate and general peace; but

that in the mean time they abound in every species of refource for carrying on the war; having been able, for fome months paft, to fend monthly to Madras tive lacks of rupees (62,500l.) befides other requifites. The Mahrattas, weary of an unfuccefsful war, have declared for pacific measures; and the late mifunderstandings with the Nizam, and fome others of the country powers, a e fo happily taken away, that, fhould Hyder alone prove refractory, they have all engaged to unite with the company's fervants in bringing him to reafon. Another favourable circumstance is, that none of them how the leaft inclination to fee a French intereft ever re-established in their country. This favourable state of affairs, fo different from the late distracted and threatening profpect of things, is entirely owing to the activity of the prefent fupreme council, 1 and that perfect harmony among themselves, which gives them weight and confequence with the native powers. But while thefe gentlemen have been fo attentive to measures of peace and conciliation, they have not neglected the commercial concerns of their employers; their inveftments being already completed, not only for this year, but like wife for the next; a degree of forwardness in that bufinefs never known before.
