Pienof War falling into our Fands which wants _Confirmation, but in {hort the Frerich Marine at prefent makes a moft defpicable Figure, and the longer the War exifts, the greater muft be their Decadency. ‘Even by Land they Teem to have lit- tle more to bostt of, their Councils ars. difconcerted and perpetual Changesin their Miniftry, all which are firong Indications of a broken Power: Our Government I hope Will remain firm, as it hasa firong Bulwark in ‘the great Mr. Pirt. We have nothing tranfpires from the Hanoverian and French Armies, and therefore conclude the Operations are over for this Sealon,——1 hope Things will be fo difpofed on your Side, that next Campaign will corapafs all we have there to hope for, as I am con- vinced that the chief Command being given to Ge- neral AmnersT mult be agreeable, who has both Abilities for it, and an Inclination to do his Country Service ; we have therefore only to with that his Merits may be rewarded with Succefs equal to’em.’ Late laft Night Captain Parrot arrived herein 18 Days fiom South Carolioa, in whom came Captain Malcom of this Town, who fail’d from Falmouth 8 Weeks ago, .in the Harl of Leicefter Packet, Capt.

We hear from Greenland,that Friday Evening laft died there Mr. Exocu Crark, much Jamented ; he wasallowed by impartial Judges, who were acquain- ted with him,to;be aMan of folid Judgment,according t6 his Acquirements,he was uncommonly ferviceable as a private Member to the Community to which he belonged, and efpecially to the Publick as a Taver- ner; for which difficult'Station he was peculiarly qua- lified, with a Spirit of good Gavernment, and beha- ved in it with fach Prudence and Fidelity, difcounte- nencing the Vices too common in public Houfes, as juitly to deferve that univetfal Approbation which he obtain’d—Bat that which crown’d all his other Qualifications, and added an amiable Lultre to his Deportment, was that Strain of unfeigned Pilety, which appeared in the whole Tenor of his Life—{o that his Death is to be confidered not only as a great Lofs to his Family, and the Church of Curist, but aifo to the Publick. He ha: given the beft Evi- dence. both in & Courfe of exemplary Holinels in his Life for many Years paft, and alfo in that remarka- ble Patience and humble Submiflion to the Hand of GOD, with which he endured his laft diftrefling Hinefs: 'That unfhaken Coniidence in the Merits of the divine REDEEMER, and that Chriftian Serenity of Miod, with which he met the King of Terrors: To conclude, that he is now united to the bright Affem- bly of Angels, and the Spirits of jult Men made perfe®, joining with them in their pure Services,and drinking in’ immortal Joy and Vigourat the infinite Fountain of both.—It feems to ke neceflary, in Jul- tice to the Publick, to edd this ufeful Refle®ion, that if Taverners in general were careful .to copy aher his Example, it would have a happy Tendeucy to fuppre(s a Mifpence of precious Time, and Drank- enoels, that worfe than bratal Vice, which fo greatly frevaiu in this Land, to the everlafting Shame and nfamy of our rational Nature. ¢ There having been much Thieving in this and the neighbouring Towns for feveral Months aft, lalt Wednefday a notable Difcovery was made of flolen Goods— Three Perfons were immediately taken up, ( two Men and a Woman ) and by the {rank Confeflion of one Man, the whole Scene was Jaid open— After {everal Hours Examination, they were in the Evening fafely committed to Goal, in order for Trial in March next, when, ’tis hop'd, they will meet with their jaft Deferts.—It appears by the great Colletion of Goods found in their Houfe, they have been very diligent in this Sost of Bufinefs, and very crafty n their Concealment of them, ‘as there js near a common Room full already colle&ted, viz.
