THE congaeflt of Guadaloupe will be one of the greatelt acquifitions made to the Britifh Empire fiace the taking of Jamaica ; and appears 1o be the happy confequence of our prefent wile Adminiftras tion in profecuting this war chiefly at Sea. And as that worthy Perfonage who projeéls our expe- ditions with wi{dom, and carries them into execution with fteadinels and {ecrecy, appears to be ready to weceive information from the meaneflt of his Majelty’s fbjefts, I humbly beg leave to offer my well-intended ¢hough mean tributs relative fo that 1fland. And if I 3aay prefume to offer my thoughts thereon, it would bie to grant patents for the lands to the Settlers on cer- {:ain conditions, among others thefe two. ¢ t. That all the Daties on their Sugar fhou'd be paid to the Colle@or of his Majefty's Cuftoms in that ifland; the faid duties to be equal (o the prefent four and a half per cent. paid by the Geatlemen of Barbadoes and the Leeward Iflands before thipping, as alfo what may re- main to the Crown in England, after deduéting the drawbacks opon exporting Britifh Sugar at this prefent ime ; the faid duties to be paid in the fpecie of fugar ias cath may be fo fcarce as to make it very inconveni- ient to the Planters there to pay itin any other manner. . 2. That the Gentlemen Settlers of that Ifland fhou!d #hip all their Sugars in Britifh vefTzls directly to Holland, $weden, Hambro’, or any other Foreign port, with- cut expence or lofs of time to call in at Great- Britain. This fcheme would be attended with ‘many advan- tages to the Mother Country, of which the following rare a few. : : : 1. It will enable the Gentlemen of Guadaloupe to fhip their Sugarsearly to ail theForeign markets ; which . will not only be a great advantage to them, but greatly injurious to our rivals the Freanch, who engrofs all that trade at prefent, and wound them ina very fenfible maaner, as it will enable us, in Britith vefifels, to carry what was formerly French property te the very fame places where the French thipping ufed to trade. =« By thefe Means all the Sugar from the other Britith Colonies would remain with eurfelves for home confumption, be diftributed all over Great- Britain, and thereby prevent its ever rifing fo high as it has of late years, _ ; 3. And, which is not the leaft to be regarded, here- by a confiderable conftant annnal remittance of Britifh. produce would be fent into thofe Nocthern ports, from whence we haveat prefent fo much timber, iron, hemp, flax, &c. and for which we now chiefly pay in fpecie, or bills ; and thereby bring the ballance of trade with them the nearer to a par j Mauch more might be faid on this copions fubject, but this fhall fuffice at prefent from him who wifhes to be able to fublcribe himlelf, March 29, 1759. GuApALOUPO BRITTANNUS, Hague, March 277 They write from Lifbon that fame Verfes in the Spaaith Langusge, had been polted up at the Palace, fetting forth, That let his Majefly take awhat Precautions be wonld, be could not efcape the Dangers avhich threatened him 1t is added, that the Cousnfellor Diego was affaffiaated as he was goirg into his own Houfe, and likewife the Servant that attended him : and that fome evil minded Perfons got into the Garden of M. de Carvalho in the Night time, and tharhe owed his Efcape to the Dilturbance they made in endeavour- ing to force into hiz Apartment. LO'N-D O N, April 2. Tuefday night Mr. Fielding having received infor- mation upon oath, of an illegal concert then carrying on ata pablic houle in Bunhill Fields, at which were prefentbawds, whores, apprentices and other diforderly perfons, he granted a warrant which was executed that night by the peace officers, aflited by a party of guards; and all who could not givea good account of themf{elves were taken into cuftody, and examined the next miorn- ing before the above magiftrate,and dealt with accord- ing to law. Thefe illegal iop concerts, are generally fet on foot under pretence of charity, to collelt innocent young men together, that the bawds, who are at the bottom of thele concerts, may have an opportunity of introducing the young ladies under their tuition to the acqaiintance of the apprentices. The bawds and com - mon whores who were found at the abuve concert were fent to Bridewell. Several reputable ‘perfons were found at this concert, who were decoyed there from being ftrangers to the law, which enalls, ‘T hat any houfe, room, garden, or other place, kept for pub- lic daacing, mufic, or other public entertainment of the e like kind, in Loadon and Weftminifter, or within 20 miles thereof, without a licence had for that purpofe, {hall be deemed a dilorderly houfe or place ; ‘and that it thal be lawtul for apy perlon, authorfed by war- rant from a juftice, to enter {uch houle, and feize every perfon found therein ; and thatevery perfon keeping foch houfe, &c. without fach licence, fhall forfeit one hundred pounds, and be otherwife puniflrable as the law direéts in cafes of diforderly houfes.

A Fortmight before the Murder, the Niece at Night went into the Yard, and made a Noife by throwing down the Wathing Tubs, and then ran in and told her Aunt that four Men had broke into the Yard ; but upon alarming the Neighbours none could be found. -- The Evening the Murder was committed, the Niece went backwards aod made the fame Noife as before ; and the Aunt mifling her fome Time, and hearing 2 Noife, went backwards to cail Affitance ; upon which her Niece, who had hid herfelf, feized her, and with a Cafe Knife immediately cat her Throat, fo that fhe died in a few Minntes.

Gloucefper, April z. From Maifey Hampton, near Fairlord, we have ap Account, that one Haines, of that Place having married a Daughter of Mr. Hewer, 3 fubftzntial Farmer, pofieffed of an Eftate of 80 I. a Year, which he intended to divide amongft his feven Children, Hajines, in order to acquire the fole Pofleffion, formed a Defign of fhorteaing the Lives of the fix who were to be Sharers with his Wife ; for which Purpofe he procured a Quantity of Aifenick, and about a Fort- night ago poifoned three.of Mr. Hewer’s Children. The Diforder into which the Poifon threw them was fuppofed to be a Fever and SareThroat, and they were treated accordingly ; and one of the three (a yourg Man about 21 Yearsof Age (was left in the Evening, by the Phyfician who attended them, in a fair Way to recover,but the next Mornirg was foand dead.

The Children, after eating the Cakes, were fuddenly taken ili ; and one of them is expected to die, but the other two are likely torecover. The Viralence of the Poifon difcovering itfelf immediately after the Children's taking it, gave Suofpicion to the reft of the Family ; and Haines was apprehended, as was his Father for buying the Arfen bought it at the Requclt of his Son to kill fome Rats : However -they were both committed to Girenceller Bridewell, and were to be removed to our Caltle To- morrow, in erder to take their Trials at the Afligesto be held here mext Week ; 'but we are jult informed, that laft Saturday Night the Son found Means to efcape - from Bridewell.
