This night, between 10 and 11, Mr. George Cary, a higgler, with his fon and two other men, returning from Leadenhall market, in a cart, were ftopped about two miles and a half from Epping, by fome footpads, one of which got into the cart, and with his piftol at the head of Cary, demanded his money: Cary gave him 118. he insisted he had not given him all; the poor man defired him to have patience; but, while he was fearching for the reft, the villain fhot him thro' the head, and immediately flung his body out of the cart. He then asked his comrade for another pistol, which he fnapped twice at another man in the cart, calling him by his name, Jack Green, and asked him, if he did not know him, and bid him look in his face; which he did, and protefted he did not know him. He then was going to caftrate him ; but changing his mind, cut him about the face with a long knife, and gave him two or three thrufts with it in his fide. He then cut the son of the deceafed over the head, and threatened him with his father's fate if ever he travelled that road again. Then they emptied the cart of all the baskets; which, when they had rifled, they helped to throw again into the cart, as also the dead body. They carried off with them, befides fome money which they found in the cart, a parcel of clogs, to the value of about 30s. and a quantity of oranges, lemons, and muffins; which they cried along the road as they went off. Mr. Cary was an honest industrious man, and has left a widow and 3 children, whose bread depended on his labour.

The states H general have iffued a placart, which forbids all perfons, foreigners as well as natives, to engage any artifan employed in any manufacture of this country, to go to work in any foreign country, under pain of death; and promises a reward of 100 ducats in gold to fuch as fhall difcover and convict any one guilty of this crime. Amfterdam, Jan. 17, N. S. The magnificent ftone bridge, compofed of three arches on the Heergraff in this city, fell down yesterday fo fuddenly, that many perfons at that inftant paffing over it were buried in the ruins; which occafions the more furprize, as the bridge appeared very folid and substantial, and was almost new. By fhips arrived from Curaffau in the Weft-Indies we have an account, that a bark belonging to our WestIndia company, and bound for that island, having caft anchor at Oruba, was attacked there in September laft by a Spanish frigate, which took her and carried her to St. Domingo, on the old pretence of contraband trade. As Oruba is an inland belonging to us, the governor of Curassau immediately difpatched an exprefs to the governor of St. Domingo, to complain of this hoftility and reclaim the bark; and that he might be fure of fomething in hand, he laid an embargo upon two Spanish veffels then at Curaffau; but not content with this, as he received an evafive answer from the governor of St. Domingo, he had, when the last ships came from thence, ordered four ftout veffels to be fitted out for making reprisals upon the Spaniards, which we in this country look on as the only effectual way of treating with them upon this fubject. Paris, Jan. 3, N. S. The abbe de la Caille, who was lately fent at his majesty's expence to the Cape of Good-Hope, to make aftronomical obfervations for various purpofes, and among the reft for fettling the true fituation of that remarkable promontory, which some have fuppofed to lie 17 degrees 44 minutes eaft from the meridian of Paris, has, by repeated obfervations, determined it to be but 16 degrees 14 minutes eaft from our meridian; fo that its longitude is 36 degrees 16 minutes eaft from the old meridian, and its latitude 33 degrees 55 minutes fouth; which is made publick for the common benefit of all trading nations; for without obferving this, a ship may in a dark night run upon the western part of this dangerous coaft, when the is thought to be a good many leagues off at fea.-21. Saturday last an arret of council was published, authorizing the Eaft-India . 47 company to borrow 18 millions of livres in order to increase its commerce; and the fubfcription was filled the very first day the books were opened. In one of the laft fhips fent out by this company, a most superb French fuit of cloaths, with two fowling pieces, and two pair of piftols, exquifitely wrought, were put on board, to be delivered as a present from his majesty to the king of Golconda.24. The abbe de Prade, a licenciate of the Sorbonne, having publickly supported in that houfe a thefis tending to deism, he has been by the archbishop fufpended from all ecclefiaftical functions, degraded of his degree, and his name erafed out of the books of the Sorbonne; and his thesis has been unanimously condemned by that learned body, who are going to lay it before the parliament, in order to obtain permiffion to have it burnt by the hands of the common hangman. We have had this month from Madrid the following account of a naval victory, and of his catholick majefty's gratitude to his feamen, viz. Don Pedro Stuart y Portugal, younger brother of the duke of Berwick (who had already diftinguished himself against the Moors, by taking, about two months ago, two Algerine fhips in the feas of Catalonia) has taken off Cape Vincent an Algerine man of war, called the Dantzick, of 60 pieces of cannon and 564 men, which, in company with another large fhip that sheered off, was cruizing in quest of some Spanish regifter thips. The engagement continued four days, from the 28th of November laft to the 2d of December. The Algerine commandant hung out the white flag the fecond day, but the crew obliged him to continue the combat, and did net ftrike till they were on the point of finking. There were 194 of them killed, and 320 made flaves, including the arraez or commandant, the officers, and 16 renegadoes; and 50 chriftian flaves on board were fet at liberty. The Spaniards, in the whole, had but three men killed, and 27 wounded, amongst whom there was not any officer. This is attributed to the conduct of the commander, who, to fave his men, contented himself with reducing them by cannon, without coming to close quarters; and with whom the king is fo well pleafed, that he has created him chief d'Efcadre. His majesty has recompenfed the other officers in proportion; the failors of each fhip (there being another in company with Don Stuart) are gratified with a month's pay; and penfions are allowed to the wounded, and to the widows of thofe who were killed in the engagement.
