Whofoever can find means toloofe this knot, will certainly . be recorded in the annals of our age with as much luftre as thofe who have reaped laurels at the head of armies. The thing is fo much more to be wihed for, becaule, “whilft they give out in England that the court of Spain perfifts in its former fyflem, its pretended here, that the Spaniards are notindifferént (pe&ators of the progrefs of the Englifh in America, and that if the latter attemptto proceed farther in that part of the world, we (hall pro- bably fee the court of Madrid interpofing in our behalf.

In O&ober laft wes married, one Samuel Bundy, aged 20, an apprentice to Mr, Angel,near Chrift Church, Surry, to oue Mary Parlour. Upon apretence of having | & bad diftemper, his bride, with uncommon patience, waited the cure till laft week, (better than four months) but fome of the neighbours, fomehow hearing it, infilted upon [earching him ; when, to their great furprize, the bridegroam proved a female.—She gives the lollowing account of herfelf ;: That fheis 20 Yearsold ; that feven years fince, the was feduced from her mother, (who then lived, and fill lives near Smithfield) by a limner, who debauched her ; that the day after, to avoid the purfuit of her mother, or any difcovery of her, fhould any advertifements appear, he drefled her in boy’s ep- perel, and adopted her for-his fon, by the above name. Wich him fhe was a year : ‘At length they [eparated ; and fhe took one voyage to fea,which kept her employed more than 12 months ; in which voyage fhe pertcrmed the feveral duties of a failor. Some time after {he came from fea, fhe bound herfelf to Mr. Angel, 2 painter in the Green Walk, near Paris Garden Stairs, in the parith of Chrift Church, Surry : With him fhe continued a Year, lying with her mafter when they were in the country-at work, and that without the leaft difcovery whatloever. Whilft with Mr. Angel, the was taken notice of by a young woman who lived at the King’s Head in Gravel Lane, Southwark, to whom fhe was duly married, ataneighbouring Church,near fix months fince. Quitting her Mafter,upon fome difpute between them, fhe was obliged to depend upon her wife for fupport, who expended her meney and pawned her cloaths for her mate’s mainienance 3 which is the fraud fhe is charged with. The adopted hufband fays, the wife foon difcovered the miftake fhe had made, but was determined for fome time not to expofe the matter. Since marriage fhe entered on board the Prince Frede- rick man of war at Chatham, but ran away from it for fear the great number of hands on board fhould difcover her fex. She afterwards entered on board a merchant fhip with about 20 hands ; which,the fays, fhe approved of much, but run away from that to return to the wife, whom, fhe fays, fhe dearly loves ; and there feems a ftrong love, or friendfhip, on the otber fide, asfhe keeps the prifoner company in her confinement. The priloner makes a very good fizure as 8 man, and in her proper drefs cannot fail of being a very agreeable woman. She is a very good work woman at fhoemaking and painting ; declares fhe never knew any other man than her feducer; has made herfelt known, fent for her mother, snd ap- pears to be a very fenfible woman. A Copy of & Letter from & Scots Sailor to bis Wife in Leith. ¢ Dear Jenny, ¢ This isto let you know,that I am well in 2 dungeon at Dunkirk, God be bleffed for it ; hoping to hear the fame from you and ali friends. Tell Mrs. Hodge [ bought her ftuffing, but it is gane ; tell Jean I bought her gown, and it is gane too ; I bought an anker of brandy and gin to ourfelves, but Jenny, that is gane, and a’s gane ; for the French dogs unrigged me in an inftant, and left me nought but a greafy jacket of their ain. But, Jenny, I have fixpence a day from the King of England, God - blefs him ; I-have bread and water from the French King, God c—fe hifn. Qut of the fixpence » day, I have faved as meikle as bought me a knife, 2 foik,, and a wee ceggie. Jenny, keep a good heart ; for i get out of this yet, and win meikle geod filver, and get a bottom of my ain too ; and then have at the French dogs. I am, &c. Lately one Matthew Poftlethwait, a Porter who plied for many years in Devereux Court, Temple Bar, told an Undertaker at the White Lyon in Wych ftreet, Drury lane, that he was confident he fhould bethe next perfon the Undertaker wculd bury, and accordingly defired him to take meafure of his body, in order to make his coffin ; the Undertaker immediately complied, and allowed a few inches for the extenfion of his body after death ; on the meaflurement he went home, ac quainted his wife with the tranfa@ion, took to his bcd', and died the fame evening exatly at half an hour pait ten o’clock. Aprilz5. We hear that the late fentence of theCourt- martial, has been confirmed by his Majedly, when he was pleafed to fignify, that it was his pleafure, that the faid fentence fhould be given out in public orders ; < That no officer of ever fo high birth or employment, ¢ can_be fcreened from punifhment for fuch offences: ¢ which, to a man that has any fenfe of Lonour, muft be ¢ worle then death,that all officers in hisMajefty's fervice ¢ may avoid punithment arifiag from difobedience of ¢ orders.” : A letterfrom Jamaica adviles, that Capt. Muntell, fome time fince in a {chooner privateer ot 16 gens and about 100 men, heaiing that a meichant fhip had been taken,and the crew moft inhumanly treated, by aFrench privateer of 16 guns and 180 men, by cutting off the officers ears and {litting their nafes, he immediately fail- ed in queft of it, determining to give no quarter. [tun- luckily happened that they met with a privateer {fuppofed to be that he [ailed in queft of, and of the like foree, — whereupon he ordered the bloody flag to be hoifted, and after an engagement of nine hours the Frenchmen ftruck, having no more than 17 men able to keep the I deck, and Captain Mantell 30 ; when he found the miftake, he treated the prifoners with great humanity, who confefled they fhould have ftruck upon being fired at by their chafing guas ; expeéting no. quarter from the bloody flag being fiying. they were determined to de- fend themfelves to the 1zt extremity. The Pengrin floop 6f war was loft on the coaft of Portugal, and not taken by two French privateers, as & was lately mentioned, bur flarted a plank, and after- wards tock fire by accident. The crew 'were faved. . A letter from the Hague, dated April 12, fpeaking of the declarstion lately delivered there to Duke Lewis of Brunfwick, concludes thus : *¢ But a5 we do not hear that France and her allies have as yet made any over- _tures whereon to found a fufpenfion of arms, and much lefls a treaty, ds is ufual in cafes of this nature, “befofe the % i [ A} meeting of a congrefs, in all likeiihood the fettling ofa _general peace will turn outa very tedious affair. Whe- ther this declaration is made with a real intention of mak- ing peace, or is only an artifice of France to gain time and engage Spainin her quarrel, in cafe England fhould _refufe to accept what the may call reaflonable terms, time only tan dilcover. In the mean while we hear, that the campaign will certainly open very foon ; that it will be puthed with the utmoft vigour on all fides ; and that the «conditions of the {urure peace will in a great meafure depend on its fuccefs.”” Tuefday fe'nnight died on Afton's kay in Dublin, M:.
