acquaintance ;- but I know not at prefent whether circumftances will admit of their meeting. In the event of its being found convenient, it might tend to cement the cordiality of the different ftates.

I have received orders from his lordship to hold myself in readiness to proceed to affift at the congrefs for fettling the definitive treaty, in the event of fuch delay in the conclufion of it as would admit of my arrival.

A very fhort notice from the Bombay board of a difpatch via Bufforah, has induced me to attempt getting this hafty addrefs a conveyance, to convince you of the zeal and refpect with which I have the honour to be, &c.

I accordingly proceeded to his house, when, after explaining the articles of pacification, he told me he had just received the fame in fubftance, though not specified in articles, from Hurry Punt; and in reply to my congratulations on this great and happy event, fo glorious and fo advantageous to the allies, he in very warm terms, returned my felicitations, and was pleafed to add, that this happiness was increafed by fo profperous a termination of an alliance formed through my mediation. He expreffed in high terms, his admiration of your lordship's wifdom and conduct throughout the war; but obferved, that the most copious proof of forefight and decifion was manifested in the termination of it.

After fome further converfation we waited on the Peshwa, to whom, in full Durbar, I prefaced my communication of the articles of peace, with fuch expreffions of my perfonal and official happinefs, on grounds of mutual honour and profperity to the two states, as I thought fuitable to the occafion; which being extremely well received, I proceeded to explain the preliminary articles, and to congratulate him on the glory and advantage to be derived from them, particularly in the firm cement of the cordiality of the two ftates, conftituted by reciprocal benefits of fo great magnitude and celebrity.

After hearing what I had to communicate, with much attention and apparent fatisfaction, he expreffed his entire approval of the preliminary articles, and high fatisfaction with all the measures, that on the part of your lordship I had communicated to him, with a defire that I would communicate the fame, with his hearty congratulations to your lordship. At the fame time, he ordered the glorious event to be announced to the city by a falute of fifty guns. Shortly after which I took my leave.

HE circumstances attending the melancholy rencontre between Mr. Clarke and Mr. Frizell, are confiderably aggravated by the barba mus difpofition which appears to have actuated one of the parties, in the progrefs of the tranfaction. Mr. Montgomery, one of the feconds, being ex-" amined at Bow-street, gave the following depofi

Mr. Clarke, and Mr. Frizell, with Mr. Montmery and Mr. Evans, both ftudents of Lin''s-inn, fpent the whole of Thurfday evening The 20th, at the Cecil-ftreet coffee-houfe, in the Strand, where Mr. Frizell lodged: about one dock on Friday morning, Mr. Frizell declared he would drink no more, on which Mr. Clarke with much warmth faid it was not treating his friends well, but that it was not the first time he had behaved fo, for that his conduct was fuch at Chatham; that he had quarrelled with all the officers there, and particularly, with his intimate

friend lieutenant Hixon: and that he had got the character of a fighting-man: Mr. Frizell replied, that he did not wish to offend Mr. Clarke; but that if any words he hat made ufe of could be construed into an offence, he would give such satisfaction as he might think proper to demand, and. then went up ftairs to bed: Mr. Clarke infifted, notwithstanding the endeavours of the fecends to perfuade him to the contrary, that the words made ufe of by Mr. Frizel were a challenge; that he was a fighting-man, and he wished to convince him he was not afraid, and went up to Mr. Frizell's room, infifting upon his meeting him in five minutes. The deceated drefied himself, and on entering the coffee-room fud, that if Mr. Montgomery and Mr. Evans were of opinion that he had made ufe of any improper language, he was ready to apologize to Mr. Clarke. Mr. Clarke declared that he would accept of no apology; that he with ed to convince him he was not afraid of him; he could not forget his having ftruck his friend lieutenant Hixon, and infifted on his meeting him

in half an hour or an hour, at the Ring, in Hyde-park. Mr. Frizell begged Mr. Montgomery to go out with him. Mr. Clarke and Mr. Evans went out for piftols. and Mr. Clarke loaded them; when obferving that Mr. Frizell had not got piftols, he gave him one of his pair, and they went to the fatal fpot; where, after a fruitlefs attempt on the part of the feconds, to reconcile them, the ground was meafured, and the parties standing at ten yards distance, the seconds tofled up which of them should have the first fire, and it was won by Mr. Evans for Mr. Clarke, who fired, and Mr. Frizell fell-in his fall his piftol went off. Mr. Montgomery feeing that the ball had entered at Mr. Frizell's collar bone, did not think him dead, and immediately ran for a coach in order to convey him to Dr. Hunter's; but on his return, found that he was dead, and faw Mr. Clarke and Mr. Evans ftanding by the body, furrounded by feveral foldiers; the former told him that they were prifoners; the foldiers faid that they could not let them go until their ferjeant returned, which, when he did, they were liberated. They put the body into the coach, and all got in with it, but in Piccadilly Mr. Clarke and Mr. Evans got out.

James Newman, a ferjeant in the guards, having been on duty at the magazine in Hyde-park, confirmed the account of what happened after the fhot was fired; faid he went to Knightsbridge to confult his officer, and allowed the gentlemen to carry off the body by his advice,

in the confufion, had not prefence of mind to cut the rope, which would have probably faved her, until the was nearly exhaufted, and after nine days exceffive pain he died. In endeavouring to extricate her he had his legs and arms very much burnt, of which he now lies dangerously ill. Her fifter, being acceffary to the fire by giving her the pipe, took fright and died!-fuch are the evil confequences of admitting fire to fuch perfons in fuh places.

DUBLIN, July 2, 1792.

A MOB affembled in the Earl of Meath's Liberty, which was compofed of fome thousands of tradefmen in various branches of ma ufacture. The alleged caufe of this rifing was, the prevalence of the practice of importing foreign commodities, to the prejudice of domeftic trade and the ruin of a number of induftrious families, who, they complained, were no longer able to procure fubfiftence by their honeft induftry.

Several effigies of the reigning fafhions were attired in full drefs, with ropes fufpended from their necks, as if carrying to the place of execution. Children ftood behind them in the carts, making figns, and affecting thofe marks, of contrition which are common to malefactors in their laft moments. They paraded feveral streets in this order, or rather diforder, for two hours, and the fentiments of the mob on the occafion were expreffed by hiffes, groans, and execrations, which, in every direction to which they turned, filled the

air.

Several of the more forward of the affociation propofed to cut the garments of every paffenger in their progrefs, that should be found to wear foreign manufacture, but happily this was overruled by the more moderate part of the multitude, and the meeting at length difperfed without any violence or other mifchief having taken place, than the idlenefs which fuch an uncommon appearance naturally produced, and the diffipation by which it was eventually followed.

The Lord Chancellor committed an attorney to the cuftody of the Marshal of the Four Courts, to be confined for the fpace of two months and twenty-five days, for mal-practice; and finding upon inquiry, that the faid Attorney was one of the Solicitors in the Court of Chancery, his lordship ordered his name to be ftruck off the lift.

A new incident in the forgery of a will has lately occurred, which would have done honour to the brilliant invention of a Barrington-the trick of putting and guiding a pen in the dead man's hand, was not fufficient to fatisfy the con

fcience of the parties; it became neceffary abfolutely to fwear, that when the will was witneffed, they faw life in him-and a live fly was actually put into the mouth of the corpfe in order that they might fafely fwear to the fact.

An affray occurred at a fair in the co. Louth, which, we are informed, was attended with unhappy confequences, two men having been killed and feveral wounded. The tumult, which, originated from the effects of intoxication, had proceeded to fuch a length, even after the riot act was read (at the inftance of the fpeaker of the Houfe of Commons, near whofe country refidence it occurred,) that a ferjeant's guard was difpatched to the scene of diforder; the mob, however, continued ungovernable, but directing their refentment from each other to the foldiers, began to ufe fuch milliles as were convenient, by which one of the military was feverely wounded. At a juncture critical to this fmall party, and when it became indifpenfable to repel the violence of the rioters by firing upon them, a fquadron of light horfe, which had been fent for, arrived, who were neceffitated to ride in on a multitude that had furrounded the foot, and in difperfing them the two perfons above mentioned were killed.

18.] Mr. Alderman James having received information that the pr.foners confined for the murder of Mr. Lyneall were planning an efcape, and having alfo come to the knowledge of Walth the letter carrier purc afing horfes for the like purpofe, and previously cutting feveral of the iron bars preparatory to his intended efcape on that night, this active magiftrate repaired to the goal of Newgate at a late hour, where no perfon but the turnkey and hatch boys attended: he directed the goal to be opened, and immediate ly caufed thofe accused of the murder of Mr. Lyneall to be properly fecured; and on ordering Walsh's apartments to be opened, found him without irons.

When the Alderman directed the turnkey to where they would find the bars of the windows cut, they feemed aftonifhed, and with reluctance tried, when they found every thing prepared for an escape.

A large Still at Kilcock, being charged for doubling, burft-The Singlings immediately took fire, which communicated inftantly to the roof of the diftillery and the whole was in flames in a few minutes.-Two of the workmen who were lulling the ftill, were nearly fuffocated, but happily efcaped with their lives. By the very fingular activity of the workmen and people of the neighbourhood, in ftripping the distillery, bringing water, &c. the dwelling-houfe was preferved, fo that the lofs fuftained by this melancholy accident amounts to little more than 700l.

When the prifoners were removing from court, Brooks, who is one of the party who ftand indicted for the murder of Mr. Lyneal, attempted to make his efcape through the crowd, but be ng immediately miffed, the alarm was given, and he was fecured near the fteps of the court of exchequer by infpeétor Shee, and conveyed home to his lodgings in the New Prifon.

19.] Three women attacked the poft-boy on Donnybrook road, nearly oppofifite the toll-houfe under judge Hellen's wall, and robbed him of the

lar

mail bags deftined to Wicklow and adjacent quar

ters.

The lad, however, took particular notice of their route, and dogged them into town, where they were taken with the poft-bags in their pof feffion, and lodged in Werburgh's watch-hou from whence they were yesterday conveyed to alderman Fleming's, and, when examined, committed to the New Prifon. They were armed with pistols.

21.] A record was tried in the Court of Exchequer, wherein Norris and Crowe were plaintiffs, and a gauger defendant. The plaintiffs charged the defendant with having imprisoned them falfely, the firft for two hours, the latter for fifteen minutes, for which they brought two feveral actions to recover 2000l. and 5ool. The defence was a juftification in confequence of a mob having affembled about the officer while in. execution of his duty, and the plaintiff's having taken an active part againft him and his party. Verdict for the plaintiffs 5ool, and 2001.

23.] At night between eleven and twelve o'clock, a dreadful fire broke out in a house in Cook-street, adjoining the paper warehouse of Mr. Jeremiah Sullivan, which continued with great rage until near fix o'clock yesterday morning. There were a number of engines in play during the whole time, and notwithstanding they were ably conducted, three houfes were nearly confumed, and paper to a confiderable amount burnt; and, we are forry to add, a deferving young man loft his life in the flames.One of the houses belonged to a Mr. O'Brien, printer, who has loft his
