LONDON, 'January 20.
The refliidious to be irfipofed on theFfhr#
of Wales arc to continue but for fix month*.
Mr. Pitt s desire was to Have them continue
during the time of the Regency, but this the
i.ord Chancellor opposed with a becoming in*
diguation. His LorrifliipY condud. wetrufl,
will have the good effed of deterring Mr*
P;tr from pursuing those ambitious fcheme*,
so highly derogatory to the rights ind dignity
of the Prince, and so extremely opposite tq
the willies of the people.
*1 he Diet of Poland have entirely acquitfccd
with the withe's of the King of Prussia. So
near and so able a foe would not add much to
the intercfts or honor of that country, and
therefore it was judged molt end
where they began.
The"oppofite party, however, of the Diet,
were anxious to refill the willies of Prussia $
and to give them fonfte weight, the Erapero*
had begun to form an army of observation;
this bufincfs, however, goi.ig on but slowly,
rendered it of no effed. It is so far fettled,
and perhaps rightly so for the repose of Po
land.
Indeed the Emperor* has too much employ
with the 1 urks to do any thing with cfieft to
any other power.
1 iie Dutch having fettled their domeflic
broils, are turning an eye towards commerce.
1 hey are preparing for market their old rufly
fire arms. The Grand Siguier’s army is like
ly to be the better armed for it.
The 1 urks, Aofirians, Ruffians, Danes and
Swedes, are at present apparently quiet i
their Warlike preparations, uevertbelefs, car
ry appearance of a renewal of hoflilities as*
footi as ihe fcafon may put it in their power.
'lbe Emperor is very ill of an asthma. .
T he Duke dc Suderuiania is uncommonly*
popular. On his arrival at the capital, he
was carried in the arms of the populace.
All the packet boats are ftopt by the froA,
so that no news can be expeded to arrive for
some-time.
PORTS A O U T H, Feb. 24.
ON Friday night lad William Fall made
bis elcape from the gaol in this town,
by digging through tie chimney. But, for
fear quitting his lodgings in so abrupt a manr’
ner might Jay him open to censure, be wrote
the following on the wall :
“ The reason of my going away is, be
cause I have no fire to comfort myfelf with,
and very little provision. So lam fare, if I
was to flay any longer, I should perifli to
deacb. Look at that bed there! Do you thinfc
it fit for any perlon to lie on i
“ you ate well I am,
“ Mend the chimney and all’e well.
“ To »i»e gentlemen and officer* of Portfw
momb, from your bumble fervent,
Ism. Fall.
** ®* l*o very fotry th** I did not
think ol this before, for if I had, yourpeo
fde fltould not havo had the plcafure of see
s w| me tike the lathe*.’ 1
