VI. That the Courts of London and Ber. lin will engage to propofe the faid conditions to the Porte, and agree to declare to the Divan, that they could obtain no other condi. tions from her Imperial Majesty; and that the Allied Courts expect the Porte will make no difficulty in accepting them; as should the terms be rejected, they the Sed Courts) will much regret being under the neceffity to abandon the Turks to the fate of war. These l'reliminaries, having been figned by the English and Pruffian Ministers, were immediately sent by couriers of the refpective Courts to be ratified. SEPT. 8. Edward Brown, for a highway robbery; William Millington, for stealing a mare; Francis Field, alias Rodney, and John Green, for being concerned in deftroying the houfes, &c. of John Taylor, Efq. and Dr. Priestley, were executed near Warwick, agree.bly to their fentences. The unhappy men appeared at the fatal tree with manly firmness and refignation, and their whole conduct after condemnation evinced the trueft penitencc. Green, however, to the laft moment, declared he took no part in demolishing Dr. Pricftley's houfe (for which he was convicted), but that he was merely a fpectator there; though he acknowledged he ought to fuffer, as he was very active in deftroying Mr. Hutton's house. His Majesty's free pardon has been granted to Bartholomew Fisher, one of the condemned rioters; and a refpite for fourteen days was on Wednesday received at Warwick for the other rioter. 14. About half past ten o'clock at night, a dreadful fire broke out near Cherry Garden Stairs, Rotherhithe, near London, which, from the tide being low, and little water to be had, burnt with great fury a confiderable time. It began at a chandler's, but how is not known feveral barrels of tar were on fire before it was difcovered. A number of engines attended, both on the river and on the shore; but, from the difficulty of finding water for the latter, and the impoffibility of bringing the former rear enough, the flames for a long time fpread with the utmoft fury. It was fix or feven o'clock in the morning before the violence of the flames was any way got under, by which time above go houfes were burnt down, many of them warehoufes, containing property to a very confiderable amount, of which very little was faved. The flames having communicated to the shipping in the river, great fears were entertained that a number of veffels would fall a prey to the rage of the fire, as there was no pethibility of drawing them off, owing to the water being ebb. The Ranger, Capt. Swain, from the South Seas, and a small brig, were burnt; but, by great exertions, the flames were prevented from communicating to any other vessels, at leaft from destroying any other. A great number of poor families have been burnt out, and their little all deftroyed. 15. About five o'clock in the morning, the Poft-boy carrying the mail (on horseback) from Warrington to Manchester was inurdered about a mile from Warrington, the mail opened, and the letters in the following bags were taken out and carried away, viz, the Chefter bags for Manchester and Roch. dale, and the Liverpool bags for Rochdale. Two men (by accent Irishmen) were feen to leave the place where the robbery and murder had been committed in a precipitate manner, and to go towards Warrington, The rider was found about fix o'clock on Friday morning, after the whole of the night had been spent in fearching for him, in Britch Brook, about a mile from Warrington (murdered); the body laid with the face downwards, his hands tied upon his back, and his feet tied together. 19. George Dingler was executed oppofite the Debtor's door at Newgate, according to his fentence, for the wiltul murder of his wife. 21. The Old Bailey feffions ended, when judgment of death was paffed on John Portsmouth, Thomas Playter, Thomas Collis, William Tristram, John Berry, Robert Clark, Thomas Lattop, John Simpton, Tho mas Jones, and John Herbert. Fifteen capital convicts, who had been refpited during his Majesty's pleasure, were pardoned on condition of being tranfported to New South Wales for life. One of them, Thomas Chapland, retufed his pardon, and was ordered to be confined in a folitary cell, till his Majesty's further pleasure be known. Ann Gale, another convict, who has two children, declared he would rather die than leave her children behind her, when the Recorder faid he would do every thing in his power that her children might be permitted to go with her. 24. A woman in Turnmill-ftreet, Clerkenwell, quitted her house, leaving two chil dren alone therein, who opened a cage in which three ferrets were confined, when the latter attacked one of the children, and tore out its eyes. Letters from the Havannah, dated July 2, give accounts of a great deal of damage done by an earthquake, attended by a terrible deluge of rain, which collected into torrents, and swept every thing before it.
