A TUESDAY, 08. 22. Dreadful inundation alarmed the inhabitants of Dauphiny in France. Houses men, and cattle were Twept away promif. cuously. The vintage is utterly destroyed. The people in their panic, ran to the churches, the churches could afford them no fafety, and multitudes perished in the most fervent acts of their devotion. WEDNESDAY 30. A young lady in the neighbourhood of Wifbecb. juft married, upon fome harth usage from her husband, determined to put an end to her life, and gave notice of her defign to feveral of her acquaintance, who looked upon. her declarations as idle prattle; but on the 29th, after chearfully fpending the evening at cards, the took a folemn leave of fome of the company, and this morning, her husband being gone down fairs, the rofe from her bed, dreffed herself in part, and with a gun which fhe had found means to conceal in the room fhot herself thro' the head. The coroner's jury have brought in their verdict lunacy. Dr Kirkpatrick had the honour of prefenting to her majefty, from the Nabob of Arcer, a fmall vafe, or bottle, of the purest rocic chryftal (with a gold enamelled topper and rim, and a small chain to it) filled with the moft genuine ottar, or effence of rofés, which were very graciously accepted. SATURDAY 2. A A hoffar belonging to his R. H. the Duke of Cumberland, having begged a fuit of his late mafter's cloaths to put himself in mourning, had his request granted. But when he was delivering them to the taylor to have them altered, he difcovered a private pocket, in which he found a small morocco leather cafe in which was bank-notes to the amount of 1751. which he honestly returned, MONDAY 4. B One of the powder-mills on Hounflow-C Heath, blew up, by which accident three perfons loft their lives. The grand-jury of the city of Dublin, finding, upon enquiry, that the examination upon oath touching the violencies committed by the foldiery, in forcibly releafing one of their comrades from goal, (See p. 442) and fetting all the prisoners at liberty, were not returned, D as they ought to have been, have reprefented their fenfe of that matter to the Lord Mayor of Dublin, by which, they fay, the course of public juftice has been obftructed, and the most dangerous wound given to civil liberty. THURSDAY 31. A motion was made in the Houfe of Com-E mons, in Ireland, for a lift of members of that House, who had places or pensions, but it paffed in the negative. Both Houfes have prefented very loyal addreffes to his majetty; but as they contain nothing more than ufual they are omitted. His majesty has been pleafed to incorporate a company of noblemen, and gentlemen of that kingdom to en F able them to work the collyeries of Tyrone, by which it is thought Dublin will be fupplied with coals at 125. 6 d. per ton. FRIDAY, Nov. 1. The judgment obtained by Dryden Leach, against the King's mellengers (fe Vol xxxiii. p. 615.) was affirmed by the unanimous opinion of the court of King's Bench, This G decifion is final, and the first that has been determined. The principal fecretaries and other great officers of ftate, the nobility, and foreign minifters, waited on their majefties at the Queen's palace with their complements of condolance on the death of his R. H. the Duke of Cumberland. The fheriffs attended the fame day to know his majefty's pleasure, with refpect to the ceJebrating the Lord Mayor's day, whether in a public or private manner, a fep that was judged by many premature, and has been feated accordingly. (See p. 528.) H In a violent form all along the Eaft coaft, a great number of fishing boats were over-fet, and many of the fishermen perished. The morning was fine when the boats went out, but the ftorm came on with fuch violence and rapidity that no affitance could be given them. The cries and lamentations of their poor diftreffed families, are not to be defcribed. More than 40 orphans and widowS were left in Berwick only, and proportionably in other fea-ports. WEDNESDAY 6. The Calcutta Indiaman from Bombay, arrived in the river. Her cargo confifts among other things of 31,389 pieces of goods of various forts, 1600 lb. of cotton yarn, 374,000 lb. of pepper, 67,500 lb. of redwood, and 600,400 lb. of faltpetre. THURSDAY 7 This morning a moft fudden and dreadful fire broke out at a peruke-maker's facing the for want of water, quickly communicated to White Lion tavern in Bishopfgate-freet, which both fides of the way; and the wind blowing fresh foutherly, foon reached the church of St Martin Outwich, the corner of Threadneedle freet, which is reduced to afhes. Merchant-taylors-hall was with great difficulty faved; but feveral adjoining warehouses with feven the wind fhifted to the weft, othermuch valuable goods are confumed. About wife all great St Helens must have been deftroyed, and drove the flames back, by which five houfes on the Exchange fide of Cornbill, and upwards of twenty in Leaden-ball-fireet. were confumed. At nine, parties of guards arrived from the Tower, and the Lord Mayor foon after, who gave orders for lodging what goods could be faved in the Royal Exchange. Many lives are faid to be loft, and the damage on this melancholy occafion, to exceed one hundred thoufand pounds. 40,000 /. is faid to be already claimed from one insurance office. (See the Plan of the Fire, for a more diftin&t idea of it.) SATURDAY 9. George Nelfon Efq; the Lord Mayor elect, accompanied by Sir Wm Stepbenfon, the late Lord Mayor, the Aldermen, and Recorder, went in a private manner to Winter Hall to be worn; and, after the usual ceremony About ten o'clock the proceffion began to move, paffing through the Old-palace-yard to the South-east door of the Abbey, upon a floor railed in, covered with black cloth, and lined on each fide with a party of the footguards. A At the entrance of Westminster Abbey, with- B in the church, the dean and prebends, attended by the choir, received the body, falling into the proceflion just before the officer of arms, who conducted the Lord Chamberlain, and fo proceeded into King Henry the feventh's chapel, where the body was depofited on treffels, the head towards the altar, the coronet and cushion being laid upon the coffin, and the canopy held over it, while the fervice was read by the dean of Westminster; C the chief mourner, and his two supporters, fitting on chairs at the head of the corpfe; the Lords Affiftants, and fupporters of the pall, fitting on fools on either fide The part of the fervice before the interment being read, the corpfe was depofited in the vault; and the dean having finished the burial-fervice, Garter proclaimed his Roval Highness's ftile as follows: THUS it hath pleafed Almighty God to take out of this tranfitory life, unto his divine mercy, the moft High, most Mighty, and most illuftrious Prince WILLIAM AUGUSTUS Duke of Cumberland, and Duke of Brunswick and Lunenburgh, Marquis of Berkbamftead, Earl of Kennington, Viscount Trematon, Baron of the inle of Alderney, Knight of the most noble order of the Garter, and firft and principal Companion of the moft Honourable Order of the Bath, third fon to his late moft Excellent Majefty King GEORGE the Second. E Twenty one pieces of artillery were drawn F into the park, and fired minute guns during the ceremony; and three battalions, viz. one of each regiment of guards, were drawn up in St Margaret's church-yard, and fired vollies, on a fignal given, as foon as the corpfe was depofited. Minute-guns at the Towerwere fired as ufual. Over the BODY, a canopy of black velvet G was born by Gen. Sir7. Amberft Gen Conway, Gen Keppel, Gen. Hoagefon, Gen. Honeywood, Gen. Howard, Gen.

William Richardfon for forgery, was executed pursuant to his fentence, fee p. 490.)— Andrew Fitzgerald the other convict, who was to have been executed at the fame time, for a like crime, was respited at the interceffion of the jury, &c. Lieut. Ogilvy was executed at Edinburgb, after his fentence had been feveral times reipited, at the request of his friends. He denied his guilt to the laft moment, and denied it with fuch circumftances of folemnity, as aftonished every body. After he was thrown off the ladder, the rope broke: He was ftupified at firft with the fall; but before he could be thrown off again, he recovered bis fenfes, and called out with a loud voice, I adhere to my former denial, and die an innocent man. The denial alluded to was in a paper, which he defired might be published, and is as follows: "Lieutenant Patrick Ogilvy, brother-german to the deceased Thomas Ogilvy, of Eaft. Miln, confidering mylelf upon the brink of this mortal life into eternity; and as I have but few hours to live, would chufe to empley them in the way that would moft conduce to my eternal happinefs: And though my years be few, and my fins many, yet I hope thro God's grace, and the interpofition of my b'effed Redeemer, that the gates of heaven will not be shut upon me, in whatever view 1, as a criminal, may be looked on by the generality of mankind; and, I hope, thofe who beft knew me, will do me juftice when I am gone.

Mean time I beg leave to clear Mr Joba Fenton, of an affair laid to his charge; Juch as his being guilty of keeping me from making a confeffion to the world before I died; this, I hope, will be a warning for the future from fuch like mistakes to the world, and hope they'll be forry for their falle fufPATRICK OGILVY. picion now. Edinburgh, Tolbooth, Nov. 12, 1765. THURSDAY 14. A great board of treasury was held, at which feveral gentlemen lately arrived from America was defired to attend on affairs relative to that country. FRIDAY 15. The Tripoline ambaffador had an audience of his majefty to prefent his credentials, James Byrne, printer, in Dublin, was ordered into cuftody of the ferjeant at arms there, for having inferted in a paper, intitled, "Every Man's Journal," many falfe, fcandalous, and feditious paragraphs, highly reflecting upon the laws and legislature of that kingdom, and tending to inflame the minds of his majefty's fubjects.

A perfon was fummoned before the fitting alderman, for attending Mals, contrary to law, and was obliged to enter into a recognizance of 400 l. for his appearance at the enfuing feffions of the peace.
