1769.

The MONTHLY CHRONOLOGER.

British goods was limited, is near, at hand; have fet on foot a fubfcription, obliging themselves not to import goods from GreatBritain, fuch only excepted as are excepted in the former agreement, until both the revenue acts shall be repealed. An agreement which they think themselves bound to come into, as it feems to be the most peaceable, as well as effectual method that can be taken to recover our loft liberties.

Salem, New England, Oct. 31. Capt. Dodge, in the floop Elizabeth, in twenty days from St. Euftatia, arrived at Ipfwich Jatt Saturday, and informs, that he was at Dominica on or about the 20th of September, when the town of Rofeau was almoft ruined by prodigious torrents of water from the mountains, occafioned by exceffive rains; that about twenty buildings were washed away and loft in that place, and many perCons drowned; that the town was fo overflowed, as rendered it very dangerous to pass from one part of it to another, the water being in many places four feet above the furface of the earth; and that many articles were feen at fea, which were carried away by the rapidity of the ftreams of water, particularly a roof of a houfe, with four perfons on it, who were faid to be twelve leagues from land before they were discovered.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

FRANCE.

HEY write from. Paris, that on the

649

prisoners Aill remained involved in this affair,
among whom is one Durand a physician,

Mr. Gordon, commonly called Lord Gor-
don, who was executed lately at Breft, for
having laid a plan to deftroy the said har-
bour and dock, was only at firft condemned
to the gallies for life; but difliking his fen-
tence, he unluckily appealed to the parlia-
ment of Paris, who finding fresh facts against
him condemned him to lofe his head.

Letters from Languedoc adgife, that on the 12th of last month, between three and four in the afternoon, the convent of Urfulines of Mende was fet on fire by lightening, and the whole building, though very large, was confumed in a quarter of an hour, together with all the furniture and other effects therein. The nuns and others belonging to the houfe happily escaped the flames. The bishop of Mende was prefent, and provided apartments in his palace for those nuns who were infirm, and others who had no relaITALY. tions of friends in the neighbourhood.

Naples, Nov. 7. The court having received advice, that a Ruffian Fleet is on its paffage for the Mediterranean, from whence it is to fail to the Arcbipelago, to attack the Turkish poffeffions, the ftate chancery has difpatched an order to the Marquis de Cavalcante, to receive no more than three of them into any one port at the fame time; to furnish them there with fuch provifions as may be neceffary, but not for more than a month, and on condition that the fame be punctually paid for; and by no means to supply them

T27th of November at a banker, whohad with any fort of military flores, under any

been but a short time fettled in that city, after being employed all the morning with the treasurer of the prince of Conti, at his return home enquired if any body had been there from Mr. de St. Julien, receiver general for the clergy, in order to receive the money for a bill of Exchange for 10,000 crowns. Being answered that the receiver general's clerk had been there, but was defired to call again in the afternoon; the banker fent immediately to Mr. de St. Julien, defiring him to fend for his money. When the clerk came with the bill the banker took it, and told him he would go and fetch him the money, but he went into another room, locked himself in, tore the bill of exchange, and shot himself through the head."

Paris, Dec. 4. They write from Breft, that the commiffion nominated to try the Sieur Gordon, and which for fome months paft has been taken up in that affair, paffed fentence on him the 14th of November laft, by which fentence he was condemned to lofe his head, which was accordingly done the fame day, Thefe letters add, that the next day they tried and condemned a foldier of the regiment of Bearn, one of his accomplices, to be hanged; and that feveral more

pretence whatfoever.

Venice, Nov. 14. We begin already to perceive in divers places the happy effects of the method for recalling drowned perfons to life. A poor woman, aged 95, fell into the Adige on the 22d, and was not taken out again till after remaining under water a confiderable time, when the appeared to have loft all fenfation, and was believed to be drowned. But M. Caneftro, a phyfician from Verona, put his mouth to hers, and having breathed into her for the fpace of twenty-five minutes, recalled her to life. When the was feen to breathe, they treated her according to the customary method, and the is fince fo well recovered, that the ails nothing.

GERMANY.

Frontiers of Poland, Nov. 4. The remains of the Turkish army have all repaffed the Danube, excepting the troops which compose the garrison of Bender. It is imagined, from the preparations making by the Ruffians, that they are refolved to attack that fortress before the end of the campaign, inasmuch as they have carried off all the flat-bottomed boats they found in Pocutia and Podolia. TURKEY.

Conftantinople, Oct. 18. On Saturday the a village 14th inft, a fire broke out at Befeik Tafci,
