from Plymouth, on the 14th of November following, with, the fleet under Sir Charles Hardy, on a cruize, to the weftward, and on the return of that fquadron, arrived the 13th of December at London, where he chiefly refided till June 30, when he fet out on a tour to different parts of England, as he had done the three preceding fummers, and was every where received with the refpect due to his rank.

At the baptifm of his nephew, prince Frederick, September 19, 1763, his royal highnefs food godfather, by his proxy the earl of Huntingdon, being then on his way to Plymouth, to embark for foreign parts. He fet fail from that port September 22, on board the Centurion, commanded by commodore Harrifon; and as he chose to travel incog. he took the title of earl of Ulfter, in which character he was received at the court of Lisbon, where he arrived October 3. From thence he departed in the fame ship, October 28, for Gibraltar, where he ftaid but two days, and then failed to Portmahon, where he remained till November 17, and then fteered for Genoa, which he reached on the 28th.

After refiding there about ten weeks, he visited Turin, Florence, Leghorn, Rome, Parma, Venice, Padua, Milan, and other noted cities in Italy; and was entertained, with great magnificence, in every place; but did not proceed to Naples, as there was a malignant distemper raging in the Neapolitan dominions. On Friday, August 17, 1764, his royal highefs, re-embarking at Genoa on VOL, X.

board the Centurion, landed on the 20th at Nice, in the king of Sardinia's territories, from whence he went to Antibes, the first town from Italy in the French dominions; and from thence through Aix, Avignon, Valence, Vienne, Lions, Villefranche, Maçon, Tournées, Chalon, Dijon, Langres, Chamount, St. Dizier, Chalons au Champagne, Reims, Laon, St. Quintin, Peronne, Arras, and St. Omer, to Calais; without touching at Paris, where magnificent preparations were made for his reception.

The reafon of his not coming through Paris, was faid to be a coldnefs which then fubfifted between the courts of London and Verfailles, on account of fome late infractions in the treaty of peace, by the French. He croffed the ftraits, and landed at Dover on the 31 of Auguft; from whence he proceded to London.

On the 5th of December, 1764, he was elected prefident of the London hofpital: he had before been made a fellow of the royal fociety.

In the fummer 1765, his royal highness made the tour of feveral parts of Holland and Germany. On the 12th of June he arrived at the Hague; and was complimented by a deputation from the States General. In July he visited the court of Berlin, where he was received and entertained by the king of Pruffia with particular marks of diftinction and favour. About the beginning of Auguft he returned to England, and immediately vifited Tunbridge and other parts which he had not feen before."

When the parliament met, which [0]

it did in December, he attended his duty there, as one of the peers of the realm; and on the queftion about repealing the American famp act, voted against the minifters; and was again numbered with the oppofition in another divifion, during the fame feffion. And in the fucceeding feffion (1767) upon a queftion relating to the bill of indemnity, framed and paffed by the affembly of Maffachufets Bay, he spoke against the minifters, then in office.

On Tuesday, July the 7th, (five days after the prorogation of parliament,) his royal highnefs fet out for Dover, in order to vifit the continent once more. He was attended by the hon. colonel St. John, John Wrottefly, Efq; and the hon. colonel Morrison. On the 11th he arrived at Bruffels, under the title of earl of Ulfter, and was politely received by prince Charles, who had just before entertained the prince and princess of Brunswick with great magnificence. From Bruffels he went to Mons, and to Paris. On the 19th he was prefented to the king and queen of France at Compeigne, under the title of earl of Ulfter; and on the 23d his royal highness had the honour to fup with their majefties. A few days afterwards, he was prefent at a grand review of the French troops by the king himself, who afked his royal highnefs how he Jiked his troops; to which the prince anfwered, "That they certainly made a fine appearance, and for the fake of your majefty, added he, and my brother, I hope never to fee them any where else." His royal highness was next invited by the king and queen, to a grand entertainment at Chantilly, to

which the prince of Conde, by the king's order, invited upwards of three hundred of the principal nobility of France, The duke of Orleans invited his royal highness to take the diverfion of the chafe with him, which he did several times. During his stay at the French court, he was daily enter tained and complimented by the princes, princeffes, and nobility of France, all of whom feemed to vie with each other, in fhewing him the highest honours and respect.

We have given an authentic ac count in our chronicle, of the circumstances relative to his royal highness's laft illness; we have no alteration to make in it; but to observe, that another account fays his illness was occafioned, by the great fatigues he underwent for two days, of exceffive hot weather, in viewing the fortifications of Toulon. We have mentioned this, though a matter of little confequence, as we would leave no particular unnoticed, upon this affecting and melancholy occafion.

It is needlefs to delineate his character, for it is engraved in the heart of every Englishman. His affability, good-nature, humanity, and generofity, endeared him to all ranks of people. He was fond of company and pleasures, which induced him to vifit moft places of public refort; and contributed to make him very generally known, and much beloved. He was par ticularly kind and tender to his domeftics, who regarded him with the most real affection, and lament his lofs with the most unfeigned forrow. He was a lover of the polite and fine arts; and if bis royal highnefs had lived, it is probable that his difpofition to,

and knowledge of, maritime affairs, might have put the nation under as great obligations to him, as they had been to his royal uncle, for his military fervices, He died univerfally lamented, and the great tenderness, respect, and regard, which was fhewn upon that melancholy occafion, and during the whole course of his illness by the prince of Monaco, deserve every tribute of praise and gratitude. His establishment was 20,000l. fterl. per annum, viz. from the king his brother 9ocol. from the public 8000l. a penfion on Ireland 3000 l.

ON

N the 8th of Auguft laft, in latitude 25, having a ftrong gale of wind, the brig was laid to under her main ftay fail till ten o'clock the next morning, when the was hove on her beam ends, and in less than five minutes turned keel upwards, fo that they had only time to cut away the lanyards of her main maft. There were on board Anthony Tabry, mafter, Humphry Mars, mate, Jofeph Sherver, Samuel Befs, John Burna, mariners, who were drowned; fix other mariners, viz. Peter Toy, Daniel Cultain, John Davis, Alexander Landerry, Peter Mayes, and William Hammon, having got hold of the top mafs which floated alongfide, tied it to the ftern, and fupported themfelves by it, till

above five o'clock in the evening, when the cabbin-boy fwam to the hull, and threw them a rope, by which they got on the bottom of the veffel, where they were still in a difmal plight; the first want that invaded them was drink, this drove away all thought of meat. The main maft with all the rigging, the lanyards having been cut away, came up alongfide, from which they got the wreath, (a fquare hoop which binds the head of the maft,) with which, and a bolt of a foot long, they went to work on her bottom, in the mean time keeping their mouth's moift, as well as they could, by chewing the ftuff off her bottom, fhe not having any barnacles, being lately cleaned, and fome lead which was on her bow, and drinking their own water: In four days time Peter Toy died raving for drink, whofe body they threw off the veffel the next day. In this manner did they work for fix days, without meat, drink, or fleep, not daring to lie down for fear of falling off the veffel; the fixth day they got a hole in the brig, where they found a barrel of bottle beer; this they drank very greedily: They foon got another parcel, when one of them put the others on an allowance. The eleventh day of their being on the wreck, they got a barrel of pork, which they were obliged to eat raw. As to fleep, as foon as they got a hole through the veffel's bottom, they pulled out a great number of ftaves and fhingles, and made a platform in the fame place, but fo fmall it was, that when they wanted to turn, they were obliged to wait till the fea hoifted the veffel, and when he fell again with [0] 2

the

the fea, they were almoft froze to death. Thus did these poor miferable fellows live for thirteen or fourteen days: After they got the pork, they made a kind of net with a hoop, fome shingles, and ropes, which they got from the maft: this they let in the fea, with fome pork, and caught a few small fifh, which, with two or three mice they caught on board the brig, afforded them feveral moft delicious repafts, raw as they were: this lafted but a few days as they could not catch any more; when they were obliged to return to their pork, which was become quite putrid by the falt water getting to it. To their great joy on the ift of September, in lat. 26, 15, long. 70, 10, at four o'clock in the afternoon, they could juft perceive a veffel to windward of them, which feemed to ftand fome time for them, but foon put about and flood from then; it was then they despaired, as that morning they had drank the laft bottle of their beer, and that one was all they had; for that day they worked hard to get at the cafks of water in the hold, but they were fo far from them, that they could not have got at them in a long time: About fun half an hour high, the veffel stood for them, and came fo near that they perceived a piece of canvas that they on the wreck fupported on a board, bore down for it, and about feven or eight o'clock took them on board; the was the brig Norwich, crptain Robert Noyes. Thus were they relieved when death ftared them in the face, by a captain who ufed them very kindly, gave them food and cloaths, as their own were rotted off their backs, washed their

fores, and gave them plafters, as they were almoft raw from head to foot with the heat of the fun and falt water, which, in many places, had eaten holes in their flesh.

The following piece is faid to have been found lately among fome papers that formerly belonged to Oliver Cromwell; and is fuppofed to be a copy of the very words which he spoke to the members of the long parliament, when he turned them out of the boufe. It is communicated by a perfon, who figns his name T. Ireton, and Jays the paper is marked with the following words;

Spoken by O. C. when he put an end to the long parliament."

Tis high time for me to put an end to your fitting in this place; which ye have difhonoured

your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice. Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government.-Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would, like Efau, fell your country for a mefs of pottage, and, like Judas, betray your God for a few pieces of money, Is there a fingle virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice ye do not poffefs?-Ye have no more religion than my horfe.-Gold is your God.-Which of you have not bartered away your confciences for bribes? Is there a man amongft you that hath the leaft care for the good of the commonwealth? Ye fordid proftitutes! have ye not defiled this facred place, and

turned

turned the Lord's Temple into a den of thieves ?-By your immoral principles and wicked practices, ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You, who were deputed here by the people to get their grievances redreffed, are yourfelves become their greatest grievance.

Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean ftable, by putting a final period
