CHRONOLOGICAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. Manheim, November 15.. HE letters from Munich cannot fuffi Tciently extol the polite and affable con duct of the king of Sweden, during his abode in that city. On his arrival, the monarch alighted at the city gate, and walked up to the houfe where he was to lodge. On calling for the hoft, he asked him for the apartments intended for the king and his fuit. Being informed of the price, You ask too little (faid he), kings do not come every day to lodge with you." Upon this the holt replied, "the honour done me by the monarch fills my heart fufficiently; why fhould I make him pay more than another?" Some perfons who Occupied the first and fecond floors of that houfe were preparing to quit them; which the king perceiving prevented, faying, "that his majefty had good legs, and could very well get up to the third ftory." At the fame time the monarch's retinue arrived; and honest Albert (the hoft) found with furprize that he had been speaking with the king in perfon. The king went to the play, the host gave a ball, at which were prefent upwards of 200 perfons. The king fpoke with great affability to the widow of the learned Oosterwalt who was prefent. On his departure, his majefty made a prefent to the hoft of a gold watch and chain, and 2.4 ducats. Vienna, Nov. 15. According to letters from the frontiers of Turkey, of the 2d of this month, a total revolution has happened in the Ottoman miniftry. The grand vifier and the grand admiral have alone preferved their offices. It is added that the English ambaffador has declared openly to the reis effendi, or minifter of foreign affairs, that the king his master would fee with pleasure, that the grand fignior thought feriously of reconciling himself with the two imperial courts, as a longer delay might caufe a general conflagration, the confequences of which would not be favourable to the Ottoman empire. Weft-Pruffia, Nov. 15, At the departure of the post, accounts were received, that all the powers to whom he Dantzickers have applied for affiftance have declined granting their request, and have advised them to agree to the demand of Pruffia; and a private letter from that city has the following paragraph? "Our firmnefs will profit us nothing, and thus we thall be obliged to give way, and we hope three weeks will terminate the whole affair between us and his Prussian majesty.” DIARY.. Vienna, Dec. 3. We hear that the plague has ceafed in that part of the frontiers of Turkey, which borders on Poland, and the quarantine is topt. The Ruffian troops there make no movements, and the winter, which begins to be felt, feems to indicate that hoftilities will not be com→ menced this. year. GAZETTE TH INTELLIGENCE.

On the 22d inft. the East India Bill was rejected in the house of Lords by a majority of 19. This event occafioned an alteration in the miniftry-and a great number of refignations have in confequence fllowed. A new cabinet is formed, and conlifts of the following members: Mr. William Pitt First Lord of the Treafury, and Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ear Gover, Prefident of the Council. The Marq of Carmarthen Secretaries Lord Sidney Jof State. Lod Thurlow, Chancellor., The Duke of Rutland Privy-Seal, and Lord Howe, First Lord of the Admiralty. In addition to the above, it is faid that Earl Temple goes back again to Ireland. The Duke of Dorfet goes Ambassador to France. Mr. Elliott, Mr. Banks, and Mr. Wilberforce, are to be Lords of the Treasury; Mr. Rofe and Mr. Steele to be the Secretaries. Several other appointments were talked of, but not with futhcient authority. We are informed that their majesties propofe to pafs the Christmas recefs at Windfor, and there to continue occafionally till 'a few days before her majefty's birth-day, when they will remove to the queen's palace for the remainder of the winter.. They write from Paris, that fuch a number of robbers are now collected into great bodies in many parts of that kingdom, as renders travelling even in the day time exceedingly dangerous. In the city it is alfo very unfafe to be out of doors at night; they mention forty robberies and upwards committed within a few days. At a Court of Cominon-Council held at Guildhall, on the 26th ult. at which were prefent the Lord Mayor, and 17 Aldermen. A motion was made, and unanimoufly agreed to, that the thanks of this Court be given to the late Lord-Mayor for his imparrial, regular, and able adininiftration of juftice, and all other duties of his high ftation; and for the fplendour and hofpitality which diftinguibed his mayoralty; for his exertions in parliament in favour of the poor when an aların of famine was general after the bad harvest in 1792; and for many other extra A difcovery has lately been made in the medical world, which is likely to prove of great public utility. The be Peruvian bark having been found to flourish only about Loxa, in the fourth degree of South latitude, Don Ortega, profeffor of botany at Madrid, conjectured it might be met with at a fimilar. distance from the Equator in a Northern latitude. This has actually been accomplished, two fpecies of the red bark having been received by the Royal Medical Society at Ma drid, which were lately difcovered in the province of Santa-Fe, which is fituated between four and five degrees North latitude. The late Sir Eyre Coote's appointments in India were faid to amount annually to the fum of 16,0col. and it is reported that dif tinguished officer had, by the most unexceptionable means, accumulated a fortune of near 200,000l. The printer of a morning paper has been ferved with notice of an action at the fuit of the Right Hon. Edmund Burke, who lays his damages at ten thousand pounds. On the 10th inft. at the, conclufion of a court martial held on capt. Evelyn Sutton, a charge brought by capt. Johnftone late commander in chief of his majefty's thips em ployed on a particular fervice, for delaying and difcouraging the public fervice, and for difobeying capt. Johnstone's verbal orders, and public fignals; after a full and impartial investigation of the matter, it appeared that capt. Sutton did his duty as a courageous and fpirited officer, and he was thereby honourably acquitted of the whole of the faid charge. Captain Sutton having been fully and honourably acquitted of every charge brought against him by commodore Johnstone, a good deal of bufinefs will be created for the gentlemen of the long robe, as the captain certainly means to fue for his share of all the prize money as cominander of the Ifis man man of war, which would have come to him if he had not been fufpended. It amounts to a very confiderable fuif. The captain alfo means to bring an action against the commodore for damages. Not only humanity, but justice and policy, call loudly for fome act of the legislature upon the principle (for the relief of debtors) lately recommended by lord Effingham. In Tupport of fuch a benevolent measure, the following facts may be depended on: Ift. In the county gaol of Devon, one Mrs. Grace Hooper has been, for a debt of fifteen pounds, and a fubfequent detainer on a writ de excommunicato capiendo, a prifoner during the fpace of one-and-forty years! this unfortu nate woman's diftrefs arofe from a fuit in the Ecclefiaftical Court, with the Rector of her parith, about the rent of a pew in the church. -2dly, a poor creature, not many months fince, who had been confined in the King's Bench prifon for fifteen years, literally died of hunger; he was found in a fequeftered corner of the prifon, tarved to death! 3dly, There are at prefent upwards of ten thoufand fugitives abroad, and near ten thoufand prifoners confined in the different gaols at home. A gentleman of the name of Wilfon, who is now about 66 years of age, who inherited an eftate of about one thoufand pounds a year in Cornwall, when only 23, fet off (within a year of his father's death) for the Continent on his travels, and it is very remarkable that he has continued on his travels ever fince. He has rode on horfeback, with one fervant, over the greatest part of the world. He first viewed every European country, fpending eight years in doing it. He then embarked for America, was two years in the Northern part, and three in South-America, travelling as a Spaniard, from the extreme facility he had in that language. The climate, profpects, and fome other circumstances of Perú, enchanted him fo much, that he hired an eftancias, or farm, and refided near a year in it. His next tour was to the East ; he paffed fucceffively, through all the territories in Africa, to the fouth of the Mediterranean, Egypt, Syria, &c. and all the dominions of the Grand Signior; went twice through Perfia, once through the Northern, and once through the Southern provinces, all over India, Indoftan, Siam, Pegu, &c. made feveral excurfions into China, for fome months each time. He was twelve years in the Eaft Indies. He afterwards on his return, ftopped at the Cape of Good Hope, penetrated far into Africa, and on his returning to the Cape, took the opportunity of a fhip that went to Batavia, and from thence viewed moft of the iflands in the great Indian Archipelago. Returning to Europe, he landed at Cadiz, and paffed in a frait line from that place to Mofcow, in his way to Kamchatka and Pekin: he is now fuppofed to be fomewhere in Siberia. He has been in correfpondence all his life with one or two Cornish gentlemen, with whom he was at College, and their opinion is, that he is determined never to put a period to his travels, while able to move. At 66 years of age, he is in all refpects as healthy. hearty and vi gorous, as other people at 46. Thursday a caufe was tried before earl Mansfield in the King's Bench, Weftmintter, wherein a clergyman was plaintiff, and a money-broker, defendant. It was an action for a falfe arreft, the defendant having held the plaintiff to 120l. bail, when 301. only was bona fide due. The plaintiff had been but 12 hours in cuftody, yet the jury gave him 6col. damages. On Saturday a trial came on before lord Loughborough in the court of common pleas at Guildhall, on an action brought against a certain company for not providing for and fending home the foreign failors which were hired abroad to affift in navigating the company's fhips to England, and fince which for their fupport they have been obliged to beg about the streets of this city; when, after a hearing of two hours, a verdict was given against the company, that they should allow each man (as they were acknowledged to be good failors) 36s. a month during their stay in England, to be cloathed, and to be fent home at the company's expence. The 28th ult. the Right Hon. Lord Hood was prefented by the company of Ironmongers, to the freedon and livery of that company, after which there was a very elegant dinner, and an excellent band. of mufic pro"vided for the entertainment of his friends, at which were prefent, Rear Admiral Sir Fran cis Samuel Drake, Bart, and the following Captains, who were in the memorable engagement of the British fleet with Count de Graffe, on the 12th of April, 1782, viz. Cornifh, Goodall, Reynolds, the Hon. Wil liam Cornwallis, Gardner, Linzee, Inglefeld, Sutherland, Knatchbull, Charington, Hood, Domet, and Maude. Monday evening, between feven and eight o'clock, Thomas Randall, Daniel Hopkins, and Thomas Cook, contrived to escape from Clerkenwell, Bridewell. To elude the vigilance of the keepers, they employed a wo man to drefs fome beef-steaks, and while preparations were making as if for fupper, they got on the roof of the prifon, from whence they lowered themfelves into Clerkenwell-clofe, by means of ropes faftened to the ftones on the parapet with iron hooks. In defcending, they brought down a very large ftone from the parapet, and also the bunch of grapes over the door of the public houfe adjoining to the prifon gate; upon the noise occafioned thereby, à purfuit enfued, but the fugitives efcaped.-On Tuesday morning Thomas Cook and one Burdet, were apprehended by the watch at Mile-end New Town, as as being fufpicious characters; and on fearching them a pair of loaded piftols, and a crape for covering the face, were found in the pockets of each. Cook was taken back to Bridewell, and Burdet was yesterday committed to New Prifon, on a charge of burglary exhibited against him fome weeks ago. The fame day Redgrave and Dinmore apprehended, at her lodgings in Brook's market, a woman, who had cohabited with Randal, on a charge of her having brought into Bridewell the implements, by means of which the efcape was compleated; and presently after the fame officers took into cuftody, at a house upon Saffron-hill, a man, being accused of having made, by order of the woman who lived with Randal, the grappling irons, and affixing them to the ropes, whereby the pri faners lowered themfelves from the roof of the prifon into the ftreet. They were fe tured in New Prifon. Tuesday evening between five and fix o'clock, as two young men were coming from Stepney, they were attacked by two foot. pads, who on their making refiftance cut off the hand of one of them, and gave him feveral wounds, after which they robbed him of his watch, money, and buckles; his companion was likewife much wounded, and with difficulty made his efcape. It is thought the young man who has loft his hand cannot recover. On Thurfday night a lady of diftinction, of Charles-street, Berkley-fquare, was rob bed in her carriage, in Grofvenor-fquare, of her purfe, containing a few guineas and fome filver, by two young highwaymen. On Thursday at noon the feffions ended, when the recorder paffed fentence of death on the 24 capital convicts at the Old Bailey; he made a pathetic and interefting fpeech to them upon the melancholy occafion, which affected most of them in a very forcible manner. Befides the 24 unhappy objects who were capitally convicted this feffions at the OldBailey, there were no fewer than 90 offenders caft for fimple felonies! A circumftance, we are affured, never before known in the annals of the above court. On the 8th inft. the following convicts were brought out of the debtor's door of Newgate, and executed on a gallows erected on a fcaffold (oppofite Newgate) in the OldBailey, according to their fentence, viz. John Burke, for robbing Thomas Fellows on the highway of a metal watch, &c. John Wallis, alias Fox, Richard Martin, and Frances Warren, alias Ballenger, for breaking into the houfe of Eleanor Baynes, at Hampftead, and ftealing a quantity of wet linen; George Morley, for robbing Mr. Groote on the highway of a metal watch and fome money; Samuel Wilfon, for coining and counterfeiting fhillings and fixpences; John Lawler, for breaking into the m. houfe of Judith Staney, in St. Martin'slane, and fealing fome bed-curtains and wearing apparel; William Munro, for forging the acceptance of a rol note ; Buthby and Francis Burke, for returning from tranfportation before the expiration of their time. They were attended by the two fheriffs, under theriff, the city marthals, and constables. On this occafion the new mode of execu→ tion took place in the Old-Bailey. A large fcaffold, with a finking floor, (fomewhat fimilar to the machine which was con ftructed many years fince for the execution of the unfortunate lord Ferrers) was erected fome paces to the north of the debtor's door. The pillars and rails were painted fable; and the fcaffold hung with black cloth; clofe to the wall of the gaol were two exalted feats for the theriffs, hung with the fame funereal colour. The place of execution was fecured from interruption from carriages by large ftrong rails at the avenues, The mournful found of the paffing bells began the fatal ceremony. After the unhappy prifoners had attended divine fervice in the chapel, they proceeded through the debtor's door along a temporary covered paffage, and afcended the Scaffold, where, Warren, the woman, fainted at the doleful feene.They were all tolerably dreffed, and be haved in a devout mannerNear an hour elapfed before the fatal fignal was given when they were all launched into eternity. On the 22d, John Clark (a journeyman thoemaker) for the wilful murder of Thos. Johnfon, a fellow-craft, between whom there had been an intimacy, and drinking together almost the whole day, when after parting a fudden emotion of jealousy of intimacy between a woman, with whom he cohabited, and the deceafed, he went after and stabbed him in the belly with a welt knife, of which he died on the morning of the third day; was executed oppofite New gate, purfuant to his fentence. On Monday the 23d inft. about noon, fome shoplifters ftole out of a jeweller's fhop near St. Paul's, two valuable miniature pictures fet in gold for bracelets, ftrung with upwards of 1000 pearls. On Wednesday the 26th inft. an old of fender was committed to New Prifon, by William Heckford, Efq. of Twickenham, for breaking open feveral hours in and about that neighbourhood. He has impeached eleven more of his gang, three of whom have been fince apprehended by the vigilance of that imagiftrate, and committed to goal.
