LONDON, July 26. The crops throughout the country are of excellent prumife, ‘ind lome fine weather now would render them not only forward, but mo e abundant than for fome years part. The agriculturists in Cam bridgefhire, and other countries, are prosecuting vith luccels, a iyfiem of clearing bean lands, by means of a flock of sheep, whick, when turned in, destroys the weeks, without in the least injuring the beans ; by which the .heavy expence of aoing is in a great mealure prevented, and the land improved. The Außrian M nifter, Count Srarhembregh, is on the eve of his departure for Vienna upon bufinels of the uunoß impor tance. His excellency is much attached to England. The new mode o. reefing now generally adopting through the navy, promiles to be attended with incalculable advantages. By this plan, the main-fail of a fill rate ih:p is reefed by two men or. the yaru with rriotc facility than when forty were employed to tfledc it. Twenty thousand men, caval ry and infantry, will we aie in formed, be encamped immedi at.iy on the Cnrragh of Kil dare. The Portsmouth letter in our ship news yeßerdav, contained an account of the arrival of the An na Jaeobina, from Bengal, for Copenhagen. By a pafienger on board f this ship, it is reported, that no account of any action had been received at Bengal on the ill of February, fublequent to the attack on Halkar at Burt pour, by the troops under the command of Colonel Maitland; Information had, however, ar rived, that the enemy, loon after the engagement quitted the piace, and retired fcveral miles into the country. 1 he chief had very few followers with him, his rtoops were ahnoit totally difper ied, and the war was generally conlidcred at an end. La It Wednesday the Ameri can ship Huntrtfs arrived at the port of Lancaltcr, rec.-ptured by rhe Neptune, Windier, of tha. place, in company with the Cres cent and Hiberna, of Liverpool, on their passage from Tortola l'hev also recaptured the Ame can ship Charles Carer, Tom kins, both which vtffds had been ten days in pofirfiion of the Spanish privateer Maria, Loho, fiom l'orto Rico.

Ships without clean bills of health, bound to Liver pool, ate to perform quarantine in Hoyle-Lake, near Liverpool, or in Miltoid Haven, As it > always uncertain what places government may abjudg< liable to quarantine, it will be highly proper that all the velleU coming from any port in the Uni ted states of America, be tur m&cd with a HU of health, j HAT.LtFAX.

At the city ot Bern, in Swit zerland, a man of business, by fuccrfs m his way es trade, had acquired a considerable real and perional est .tc ; being grown in years, and having no family, he made z will to the following ef jfetft, viz. I Being anxious for my fel low citizens cf Bern, (who have often luffered by dearth of corn and wine,) my will is, that, by the permifiiur. of providence, they shall never for the future ; fuller again under the 1 ke calarn- j Ity ; to which end, and purpose l give my estate, real, and per lonal, to the Senate o’ Bern, in truß lor the people ; that is to fav, that they receive the pro duce of my estate, tilt it Rial] come to the hum of [fuppoie two chouland pounds 5] that then hey shall -lay out thole two .houfand pounds in budding a cown house, according to the plan by me left ; the lower Rory whereof to confiß of lartzc vaults or repofitorics for wine ; the Rory above, I diredt to be for ned into a piazza, for Inch per 10ns as shall come to market at Bern, for dilpofing ol their goods ■ ree from the injuries of the weather, above chat I dire 6l a council chamber to be ere6ted, for the committee of the senate to meet in frjm time to time, to aojuft my accounts, and to dired mch things as may be necefl'iry for the charity ; and above th council chamber as many floors or granaries as can be conveni ently raised, to deposit a quan tity of corn for the use of the people, whenever they Hull have occasion for it. And when this building ihall be ereCled, & the expense of it difeharged, 1 direCt the fena f e of Bern, to re ceive the produce of my eftat*, till the fame Hull amount to the Turn [luppofe two thousand pounds j] and when the price of corn (hall be under the mean rate of the last: ten years, on* fourth part, they then Ihall lay out one thousand pounds in corn and stow it in my granaries ; an.l the fame in wine, when under one fourch of ihe mean rate of the last ten years ; and mv will is that none of the laid corn or wine Ihall be fold until the price : for corn or wine ihall exceed, , c j the common market one fourth j of the mean ra e for the last ten years; and then every citizen of Bern ihall demand daily (or pro portionably weekly) as many pounds weight of whear, and as many pints of wine, as he had mouths in his family to confu.r.e and no more ; and that for the j lame he pay ;eady money, after j the mean r-*te that it has been for the last ten years, a due por tion being allowed for watte, and that to be fettled by the Senate and that each houieholder lhali be l'upplied, as long as the price of corn or wine ihall continue a oove the /ate of one fourth more than the mean rate ; and what soever incrcaic ihall be made ot flit C".p:t !, it shall be iai.. ou* under the lane rcftri6lions, 11 addii gto the Rock of corn ami wine ; which, un let the blessing and God, w 11. I hope, in a cer tain time, reduce these two ne cells ry articles of life to very neai a fixed price, or the Glory of God, and for the benefit of the poor. This Egacy has lubfißed near wo hundred years, and has had thedefired affedt at Bern.

The right honourable Artl mr Or.flow, fpcaker of the hur.ourable houle of commons, and Nicholas Ilardinge, cfq (lately • rufiees, under whole auspices of ihe poor was abundantly Supplied and the fund greatly augment ed. About five years ego the hint was given, and fome gentleman in N rthampton coledled a sum of money, for purchifing fuel at prime ct.R, andjeiing to the poor at die fame rate, which an iwered perfectly well.

Nay, from the pressure of war, and the high pi ice of provifio.is I thought with myfelf that it was a very improper time for fsch an entertainment taking place.
