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.
