This day was held a board of Green Cloth at Whitehall, when orders were agreed on for the court's fcreening no debtor who owes more than twenty pounds to one perfon. A baker of this city was this day convicted before Alderman Plomer, (who fat for the lord mayor) at the Manfion-house, of felling bread fhort of weight, and paid the penalty of 11. 5s. This fraud was difcovered by the inqueft of the ward going out privately. [It is much to be wished, that the inqueft of every ward throughout the city would follow this example, and thereby force men to be honeft.] WEDNESDAY 6. Yesterday morning the poll ended for alderman of Dowgate ward, in the room of the late Siir Richard Glyn; and this day Mr. Rawlinson was declared duly elected.

SATURDAY 9. Capt. Young having touched at Teneriff in his return from the coast of Guinea, had the curiofity to afcend the Pike with a guide; whereon, in a cave (the burying place of the ancient 1773. The MONTHLY CHRONOLOGER. ancient Pagan inhabitants) he discovered feveral dead rodies fewed up in goats skins, one of which he opened, and discovered a body perfect, fresh, and the features not in the leaft motivated: Some were feven feet long, and others five feet three inches. He exprefied a great defire to obtain one of thefe bodies; but the Romish Prieft made many objections. Thofe, however, a little gold removed, and he procured him a female inummy. The body is perfect in every particuLar, the bowels are extracted, and the skin sppears of a deep tanned copper colour. The hair is long and black, and retains the curl; and the teeth and nails of the toes and fingers are fresh. According to the tradition of the prieft, and extinction of the ancient inhabitants, it cannot be less than goo years fince the decease of this body. Indeed, it may be as probably 100; for, according to its appearance, it may as well continue ad infinitum, as remain one year in its prefent condition. It looks like a tanned hide, and confits of bone and skin; the Derves, tendons, veins, and arteries, appar diftin&ly like Arings. MONDAY 11. Extra✪ of a Letter from Paris, Dec. 31. On Tuesday laft, about ten o'cock at aight, a fire broke out in the Hotel Dieu, occañoned by the melting of tallow, which caught fire, and burat with too much rapidity to be topt. The Governor of Paris, and all the chief magiftrates attended, and ftrong detachments of guards were planted at all the avenues. Three rooms, occupied by Eck people, were burnt, and a great number of the miferable objects therein loft their lives. The nuns fleeping-room, the laundry, and all the old chapel fell a prey to the flames, which rege ftill; and feveral of the firemen and foldiers were killed. The cathedral of Notre Dame is filled with beds and fick people from the hofpital, who are vifired and relieved by ladies of the highest diftinction. Great numbers of the fick are dily removed in covered carriages to the holpital of St. Louis, out of Paris. All the avenues to the Hotel Dieu are stopt. It is now midnight, and the fire is not yet extinguished. We have, however, the fatisfaction to affure the public, that not near fo many lives are loft as was at first reported." Another letter from Paris, of the fame date, giving an account of the above melancholy event, fays, "Upwards of 500 poor fick or maimed perifhed in the flames. As it was fituated on the banks of the Seine, many hundred unhappy fouls threw themfelves from the walls and windows into that river, most of whom were drowned, or kill ed in the fall. In a word, where there were between 200 and 300 women, I heard of but two who escaped the flames. Two friars, (capuchines) with twelve of the French guards perished, in affifting to stop the pro 47 progress of the fire. It is ftill burning, and has communicated to a grocer's fhop, and teveral other houses, in a street leading to Notre Dame; they are burnt to the ground; and as it has now hold of a magazine of oil, the confequences must be dreadful. The fervant, whofe negligence has been the occafion of this terrible difafter escaped, but was taken this morning, with two pair of sheets, which he had ftolen, and is lodged in the Chatelet." WEDNESDAY 13. This day the report was made to his majefty in council of the 12 following convicts under fentence of death in Newgate, viz. William Simplon and George Turner, for robbing William Graham, in Chelfea Fields. Jofeph Harrison and John Mitchell, for a rape and robbery on Mary Wilds, in Bethnal-Green Fields. William Griffiths, for robbing Dr. and Mrs. Dodd, near Tottenham Court Turnpike. Nathaniel Baily, alias Bailifs, and James Crompton, for rob. bing John Bullock of his cane, in Aldermanbury. Benjamin Bird, for forging a draft for 221. John Law, alias Low, Michael Doyle, John Bagnall, and William Booth, for returning from transportation. His Majefty was pleafed to pardon Harrifon and Mitchell, and to refpite Doyle, Bignall, and Booth. The rest are left for execution. The fame day the apothecary who attends the prifoners in Newgate, being publickly. called upon in open court at the Old Baily, to give an account of the prefent health of the prifoners, declared that not eight in number of all the prifoners (above 2c0) now in Newgate, are in such a state as to require any kind of medicine; and that there is no contagious diftemper at prefent in the gaol. The court and jury declared themfelves fully fatisfied. 48 The MONTHLY the arreft, was fent for, but he getting intelligence of what had happened to his mafter, made his escape. Same day the following convicts were executed at Tyburn, viz. Benjamin Bird, for forging an indorfement on a bill of exchange; George Turner and William Simpson, for aflauiting William Graham on the highway, and robbing him of fome money, &c. Nathaniel Bailey, for robbing Mr. Bullock of a cane; and William Griffiths, for robbing the Rev. Dr. Dodd on the highway, near Pancras. THURSDAY 21. A Patent is preparing to revive an office for the registry of all perfons who go to any of the colonies for hire. The office was eftablished in the reign of Charles the Second, at a time that great encouragement was given to people to fettle in the colonies, and to prevent their taking a part of the hire, and defrauding the hirers, which was common at that time. What purpose the revival is intended to answer is not yet publickly known. SATURDAY 23. The following anecdote this day appeared in the public papers. On the reprefentations which the King of Poland has caufed to he made to the principal Courts of Europe, a minifter of one of thofe powers, of new creation, ordered a demand to be made, on the part of his mafter, by his ambaffador at the Court of Berlin, of the motives which engaged the King of Pruffia to invade authoritatively the city of Dantzick, and to plot with the Empire and Ruffia the divifion of Poland: His Pruffian Majefty replyed, "That he owed no account to any one either of his actions or his projects; that in 1753 the English took the French men of war and merchant-fhips without any declaration of war by armed force; that 1764 they made a fettlement by their own authority in Falkland Islands without confulting any power; that the Spa niards in 1769 retook it in the fame way, but that they had been obliged to restore it to their confufion, for not having foreseen the confequences of their proceedings; that、 in 1768 the French landed in Corfica, and made themselves mafters and poffeffors of it by an act of defpotifm; that bimfelf in 1766 had ravaged Saxony; that in 1772 he took poffeffion of the city of Dantzick,and in 1773 he hoped to be in poffeffion, and to re-unite to his own territories a third of Poland; and that he will never folicit the friendship of any power, how formidable foever it may be, with fo much humility and bypocrify, as that which was folicited lately of a certain power of the north. MONDAY 25.

Yesterday three gamblers decoved a countryman into a gallery in St Paul's Church, where they defrauded him of four guineas and a half, by hiding under the hat; but before they got out, they were fecured; upon which they returned the countryman his money, but were carried before the Lord Mayor, who committed them to Wood-Street Compter for want of bail.

WE hear from Perth, that the meal mob affembled again on Friday night, in order to rescue two of their number, whoon account of Wednesday's riot were committed to prifon. The magiftrates called for the affiftance of military, and endeavoured to prevent them. The mob behaved very rudely to the foldiers, and pelted them with ftones; the riot act was read, but the rioters Atill continued affembled, and their numbers increafed; and rather than order the foldiers to fire, the provoft very humanely ordered them to withdraw, and delivered up the two prifoners to the mob, who then proceeded in triumph to the house of Mr. John Donaldfon, a cornfactor at Elche, where they broke down and destroyed every thing they could come at. After this they brought off the keys of his granaries, and delivered them to the sheriff-fubftitute of Perthshire, with orders to bring the corn to Perth, and have it ground into meal as faft as poffible. Mr. Donaldson faved the theriff this trouble, by fending in the grain himself next morning." Edinburgh, Jan. 11.
