The Deys of Algiers and Tunis, and even the Cheriff of Mecca, and many Arabian Princes, have fent a large fupply in money to his Highness for the fame purpote. Agiers, May 3. The orders his Moorish Majelty has illued against the English have been executed with the atmolt vigour; all their fhips were compelled to depart, without being permitted to take on board, any species of provifons; and all communication between the fortress of Gibraltar, Tetuan, and this post, has been interdicted; at the fame time that a declaration, couched in the strongest terms, was fignified to the British Conful, in the prefence of the Confuls of the other nations. His Majesty has also made public at Tangier, that he should take a decifive part in the war between Ruffia and the Ottoman Porte, in favour of the latter power, as appears by the manifefto or letter addreffed to all the Confuls, of which the following is a tranflation: Jn the name of God: There is no power or puiffance, but that which is of God. To all the Confuls at Tangiers peace be with those who take the right way. WE make known to you, that all the Chriftian nations who are at peace with the Grand Signior, are alfo at peace with us; and that those who are at war with him, are also at war with us: That the day on which any nation fhall make peace with the Grand S gnior, it will allo be made with us; and that on the day they may enter upon a war with the Grand Signior, it will be fo. with us! We order you to make our faid pleasure known to all the Chriftian nations. Given the 23d of the month Ilhumadelula, in the year 1702, or 3d of March, 1788. Naples, May 3. Commodore Colby, who is at anchor in our road, with a 50 gun ship and a frigate, is going to Morocco, to accommodate the differences between England and the Emperor, who requires fome English fhips of war to convey thofe he wants to fend to the Grand Signior at Conftantinople. Vienna, May 10. The corps under the Prince de Cobourg is much haraffed by a body of 12,000 Turks, potted in the neighbourhood of Choczim; in the mean time Belgrade is almoft blocked up, and if they do not receive fuccours, and particularly provisions, that place may be in our bands in a fortnight, though most likely not without a bloody contest. 19] Generals Schlaun and Khun, who were faid to have died of the wounds they received at Dubicza, are both alive, and the former is able, to get on horseback again; but General Bechard, of the engineers, who was wounded at Semlin, is dead, and univerfally lamented. It is reported, that the Turkish army will act is two grand divifions, one of 160,000 men July, 1788. against the Emperor and the troops in the Bannat and Croatia; and the other of 180,000 men, against the Ruffians and the Auftrian troops in Sevenburg and the Buckowina; part of which laft are in Moldavia and Walachia. 24] The Emperor having encamped on the other fide of the Save, the activity and fury of the Turks have given him but little repofe. On Sunday, 11th of May, a little after midnight, the garrison of Belgrade began a furious cannonade on the advanced body of the Austrians, which lafted for nine hours. Before fun-rile on the 12th, they again refumed the cannonade, which continued inceffantly till evening, during which time the garrifon confumed fome millions of balls. The Auftrians fired with equal warmth, but the rains on the 13th gave them a refpite on both fides. On the 14th, a very strong detachment of Ottomans, under the cover of the cannon of the garrifon, embarked on the Save about fon-rife; as foon as they were landed, they attacked the advanced guard of the Auftrians with amazing courage and impetuofity; but were received in fuch a manner as obliged them to retire. The Turks rallied, and with redoubled animation received the aflauit. Notwithftanding the gallant refillance of the Austrians, the event would have been doubtful, if the approach of fome cavalry had not obliged the Turks to have recourfe to their boats, in which they returned without any moleftation. 31. By accounts from Lieutenant Wartenfleben, dated the 13th inftant, we learn, there has been a firmith between a detachment of about 1000 Turks, fent from Belgrade towards Tjupria, and our volunteers pofted at Rhacza, ten leagues from the fortrefs Palanka, Jagodina, and Bastelina, which lafted about two hours, in which we had 27 killed, 11 wounded, and one taken prifoner; the enemy had 30 killed, and many wounded; and afterwards pofted themfelves in the fortified place of Jagonida, appa rently to fuccour, in cafe of need, the re-inforcement of troops, ammunition, and provifion, expected from Widin, and to conduct them fafe into Belgrade, By account from Semlin af the 23d, we learn, that the epidemical fever called the influenza has got there from Ruffia, where it originated; very few escape it; his Majefly himself has been indifpofed with it fome days, but his health is now entirely re-established." PLANTATION NEWS. Jamaica, April 5. Our flave laws have been revited and confolidated, and feveral regulations made in favour of the negroes. The Affembly have passed an act which contains the tollowing particulars:}, Every pofleflor of a fave is prohibited from turning him away when incapacitated by fickness or age, but must provide for him the wholefume neceffaries of life, under a penalty of tol. for every offence. 2.

Any person wanCec tooly Yihed Date & ferghe on the turf, about the Jew having nounced in favour of Wation, pitched battles fought a mile and a half beyond Croydon, in Surry. A circle was made about four and twenty feet in diameter, roped in, and which was furrounded by another line about five feet bread, into which it was intended that the gentlemen who had fubfcribed, and might contribute to the matches, fhould alone have admittance. In the eagerness of the battle however, those who were to guard this outer circle were careless, and the mob burst in. The first match was between JACKSON and FEWTERELL. Johnfon was fecond, and Humphreys battleholder to Jackson. Ward was fecond, and Duon bottle-holder to Fewterell. There was very confiderable expectation from this match. They are ftrong well-built men Fewterell came from Birmingham, and challenged Johafon; inftead of Johnfon, however, a match was made for him with this young fellow, who adds great activity to ftrength, but who knows little of the art. They fet-to about eleven o'clock,—Lord Tyrconnell and Capt. Afton were umpires. In the first round Jackfon miffed his blow, and fell, and this was the only time he came down. Fewterell could neither strike a blow nor top one-he fell to avoid them, and by fhifting, very much incenfed the mob, who roared out to him to ftand up to his man!-It was well for him that Jackfon did not know how to take advantage of the opening he gave him. He napped as often with an open, as he ftruck with a clenched fift, and very feldom planted a blow with effect. It turned out by this means a tedious unproductive battle, and Fewterell at length yielded; or rather he was not brought up within the time allowed, which is half a minute. He afterwards declared he was not beaten; but his own second and his friends made him put on his cloaths. On this battle the odds before they met on the ground were favourable to Fewterell; but they turned after the fecond round, and were ten to one against him during the whole battle. The second battle was very different. The combatants were, WATSON, of Bristol, and CRABB, the Jew. Bob Wation is a pupil of the famous Ward, and he was feconded by him, and had one Ward for bottle-holder. Crabb was feconded by Ryan, and had Jack Butcher for bottle-holder. This was one of the best battles we ever witnelled, both for activity, Ipirit, and hard fight ing, Wation, who is a boy compared to the Jew, bad much of the elafticity and manner of his teacher; but on the other fide, Crabb is a crea ture of aftonishing hardoets, and will, in the *phrase of the art, itaud as much beating as any ac in England. sprained his wrift. The third battle was between LEE, a Butcher, and LOWE, a Watch-maker. Johnfon was fecond to Lee, and Philips to Lowe. This was a smart battle without much kill, but with good spirit. After 15 or 18 minutes hard fighting, the watch-maker gave in, and the fport of the day included without a fracture, fimple or compound, and without the lofs either of tooth or eye. The Prince of Wales, accompanied by Mr. Bradyl, came to the ground during the first battle, and went away after the fecond. Many others of the young men of fashion countenanced the fport.-Duke Hamilton, Lord Melbourne, Col. Phibbs, Col. Tarleton, Col. Hamilton, Mr. Macnamara, and many others. It is a sport which, however the frigid may condemn, is highly conducive to that high blooded and masculine character, which the English as a nation have ever been proud to maintain. Humphreys called on Mendoza in the circle, and in the prefence of both their friends, to declare positively and finally whether he meant to fight him again or not. Mendoza faid he could not raife the money required. After some converfation, Humphreys told him that he ought to fight for honour, and faid that he would meet him in October next at Newmarket. Watson, after beating the Jew, Crabb, went up and challenged the Jew, Mendoza, but the match was not made. 11] Friday fe'nnight one of the most dreadful thunder ftorms ever remembered in England was felt at Chefter, Frodsham, Nantwich, Stockport, and other parts of that country. The thunder rolled, and broke so tremendously awful, as to terrify not only the cattle, but the poultry and frailer wild birds, who ran and fled screaming over the fields and yards. Several dropped, supposed to be killed with lightning, and many of the latter took refuge in the houses, by dashing themlelves violently against the windows, and forcing an entrance through the broken panes. This florm was, however, but of short duration, and went off with a plentiful shower of hailstones, as large as small gooseberries with lefs, damage than was apprehended, from its extreme violence, having only thrown down a few bricks from the chimnies, and deftroyed fome sheep that were grazing near Boughton, on the fouthern bank of the river, within a quarter of a mile of Chester. 18.] It is faid by fome, who have an opportonity of knowing the fact, that Lord Mansfield's late office brought him in, in the course of the last four years, no leis a fum than twenty seven thousand pounds.
