His majefty received a confirmation of the defeat of the Haydamacks in feveral Parts of the Ukraine, and was fo well fatisfied with the news, that he made a hand me prefent to the courier. We hear, on the other hand, that Prince Sapieha has put himself at the head of a party of confederates in Volhinis, and that the Tartars have broke the Ruffian chain of communication: One corps of thefe troops being encamped at Kzerkafsay, another at Balta, and a third at Human in the Ukraine, making in all a body of 80,000

men.

All the places which the Tartars have vifited bear the strongest marks of the favage temper of thofe barbarous people; the houfes have all been pillaged and burnt, and the unhappy inhabitants either murdered or carried into Javery.

lebrated Malazewski, after his defeat near Czenftochau, arrived at Meferitz the 6th of this month, with a body of 4000 men; in his way he seized an inhabitant of Bentch, whofe head he ordered to be immediately ftruck off. The 8th he arrived at the little town of Scheverin, and obliged the poor Lutheran inhabitants to pay him a contribution of 400 crowns, and had the cruelty to hang up four of the burgeffes, and four other innocent people, who, for want of a gallows, were executed on the pillar of a well. A poftillion, and the fon of a baker, having alfo had the misfortune to fall into his hands, were inftantly condemned to death; but the one faved his life upon condition of his embracing the Catholick religion, while the other nobly chofe to die for his own. From Sheverin thefe rebels took their route to Posnania.

Ratibon, Jan. 19. The illuftrious chapter of this city proceeded yesterday to the election of a new bifhop, when the votes were unanimoufly in favour of Prince Ansoine Jofeph, of Elwangen.

Berlin, Jan. 24. For the conveniency of the trading part of mankind, a bank and lombard is eftablished at Embden, the capital of East Friefland, which is to be opened the ift of February next.

Berlin, Jan. 28. Some days ago advice was received of the death of his ferene highness Frederick Chriftian, Margrave of Bareith, by which the reigning Margrave of Anfpache fucceeds both to the title and territory.

Drefden, February 5. The new electress arrived here on Sunday laft precifely at twelve o'clock, and was received by the electoral family with the greatest demon. frations of joy and cordiality. The marriage ceremony was performed the fame evening by the elector of Triers, at an altar erected for the purpose in a hall of the palace, into which none were admitted but the foreign ministers and principal nobility. (See p. 56.)

Hague, Feb. 16. The following are the circumftances which gave rife to the fiege and taking of Aix-la-Chapelle by the Palatine troops. The Elector Palatine has the appointment of an officer called the Grand Majeur of Aix, and has a place in the city called Malfweyer, where there is a houfe fitted up with proper conveniences for carrying on the bufinefs of dying, which the Grand Majeur letts to whom he pleafes for the profit of the elector. He happened to lett it to a proteftant, who dyed in all colours. The magiftrates of Aix maintained that he had no right to dye any other colour but fcarlet, and that to dye other colours he muft he admitted of the dyers company, which no Proteftant could be at Aix. The dyer complained to the Palatine court of the obftructions he met with, upon which the

elector took cognifance of the affair, and finding that the magiftrates perfifted in refufing what he thought he had a right to demand, he fent a body of 2000 men, who invefted the town, and finding the gates fhut, opened them by force. Thefe troops are not burthenfome to the burghers, being all quartered upon the burgomafters and other members of the magiftracy; fome of whom have forty or fifty foldiers lodged in their houfes.

Cologne, Feb. 17. Yefterday we received advice from Rome, that the Pope, Clement XIII. died there the fecond of this month, between ten and eleven in the evening. He had fupped as ufual and was gone to bed, and foon after finding himself a little indifpofed, rung his bell for afliftance. He was immediately bled in both arms, but, nevertheless, expired in a very short time. On opening his body, there were no other apparent caufes of his death, than a too great dilatation in the veffels of the heart. He was named Charles Rezzonico, and was born at Venice on the 7t of March 1693. He was created cardinal in 1737, and elected pope the 6th of July 1758.

Leghorn, Jan. 15. Letters from Cortica confirm the account of the affair between the French and the Corficans in the neighbourhood of Oletta, which was long and bloody, and terminated in favour of the latter, who made themfelves mafters of a great quantity of artillery and provifions, and took the French garrison at that place prifoners of war. [But letters from Cafal, dated Jan. 12, contradict the above account, and fay, the Corficans mifcarried in their attempt to furprize Oletta, and were obliged to retire to Mariana with confiderabl lofs.]

Bonifaccio, Feb. 2. A body of Corficans having formed a defign to furprize Biguglia the 25th of laft month, fent a party to poft themielves near the bridge of Bivinco, in order to fecure their retreat, in cafe their enterprize fhould not fucceed. On this, the French detached a corps of 1000 men in order to poffefs themselves of that post; but the Corficans, having been reinforced in the mean time, attacked the enemy, and after a fmart engagement obliged them to make a precipitate retreat with the lofs of

100 men.

Corfica, Feb. 16. A body of Corficans having prefented themfelves, in the night bethe 13th and 14th inftant, before Barbaggio, and made themselves mafters of the place, they made two companies of the regiment of Mark prifoners, but permitted three others to retire from San Fiorenzo, on condition of not acting hoftilely against the Corficans for a year. The count de Marbœuf, being foon informed of this Manœuvre, ordered fome troops to advance towards Barbaggio, the avenues of which he

blocked up in fuch a manner, that the Corficans were obliged to furrender this morning, after lofing half their men, on this ftipula tion, that they are not to be fent to France. Parma, March 11. The infant duke has juft fuppreffed the office of the Inqufition in his dominions.

On the 6th of March, the grand duke of Tufcany repaired to Rome, and the emperor arrived there on the 15th in the morning; where they have had every poffible honour fhewn them by the conclave, &c.

Florence, March 11. The king of Pruffia has fent a medal of his own perfon to General Paoli, with an eulogium, in which he makes that general greater than all the heroes of antiquity. When the Marquis de Marbauf took Mr. Colonna prifoner, with two hundred and twelve men, on the 14th of February, at Barbaggio, as a compliment to that officer, be faid to him, That he fuppofed General Paoli would fuftain a great lofs In him to this the brave Corfican replied, That every town, and every village in his country, contained men of fuperior courage and abilities to himself, and that Mr. de Marbœuf would very foon be convinced of it. Madrid, Jan. 3. The court has received advice, that on the 15th of October a terrible form happened at the Havanna, which continued for three hours. Near a thoufand perfons loft their lives, among whom were great numbers of negroes; most of the fugar plantations were entirely destroyed; and most of the fhips upon the coaft were driven on fhore. The damage is computed at 3,000,000 piaftres.

St. Malo's, March 21. The king's frigate, the Boudeufe, commanded by the Sieur de Bougainville, which entered this port the 14th inftant, was about two years and a half in her voyage round the world. That officer reports, that during his voyage, notwithstanding his crew were expofed to the mortality ordinarily occafioned by exceffive fatigues and the corruption of almoft all the provisions, he had the good fortune to lofe but feven men. This furprifing prefervation of his crew the Sieur de Bougainville attributes to the great quantity of fea water diftilled, which he was conftantly in a ftate of procuring, by means of the Sieur Poiffonier's machine. He adds, that the adminiftering to every perfon whom he fufpected to have the fcurvy, the powder of lemonade of the Sieur Faciot, feemed to him to have contributed at the fame time to ftop the progress of that malady. And he further observed, that by means of ventilators, the air in the ship had been continually freshened.

Lisbon, Feb. 28. The ship of war, named the Mother of God, arrived here the 22d inftant from Rio de Janeiro, but laft from the Bay of All Saints, where he had put in for want of water. She made the voyage in

120 days. She has on board nine milliont of crufades in gold, of which two millions and a half are on account of the king, the reft on account of the merchants; two mi lions and a half of crusades in diamonds, ant about an hundred thousand crowns Tourach in piaftres; which makes in the whole twen ty-nine millions and fifty thousand vid Tournois.

Versailles, Feb. 8. As the king was hunt. ing in the foreft of St. Germain the 4th in ftant, his horfe fell down, by which his ma jefty received a violent blow on the right arm. The acutenefa of the pain had caused the greateft inquietudes among the people, but all apprehenfions of danger are diffpated, as there is no reason to believe the accident will be attended with any bad confequences. The exterior part of the arm, at its articula tion with the fhoulder, has fuffered moft; but though it is yet fwelled and painful, hir majefty grows better every day.

Verfailles, Feb. 2. His majefty is not yet recovered from his fall. A confiderable swelling has fuddenly appeared upon the arm, arifing from the violence of the contufion, which has affected even the deep feated mufcies of the articulation. The injured part is terminated by a large difcoloured extravafation, of ecchymofis, which fpreads over the whale com lular membrane of the limb. There are, however, figns of a quick refolution; the pain is gone, and his majesty begins to move his arm without great difficulty.

Verfailles, April 6. The day before yefterday the king rode ou; on horse-back, for the fift time fince his accident, and went a hunting, which exercise quite agreed with him.

Hague, March 26. Between eleven and twelve o'clock at night, on the 23d infant, the Princefs of Orange was delivered of a dead prince, to the great affliction of the Prince Stadtholder, and of the public.

THE Epifle to the Rev. Mr. G. R. thoug

fentimental enough, is not fufficiently poetical. The author is very capable of correcting it.

The philofophical conversation, we think, will not do: Harris, Watts, Derbam, the Spilt, da la Nature, are in every band.

The letter to Mr. Horne is too long; and we bave other objections to it.

The Midnight Soliloquy is a bigb flight in deed: but we would just remind the fair rbep fodical poetess, that no eye bath, or can see God.

The lines from a youth at Brifol are too difective for insertion: let him keep them by bin, and examine them every year, for fome years, and, perhaps, he may in time, render them stceptable to the public.
