LONDON, March 2 JOSEPH 11. * | HE late Emperor was the eldest son of Ma- A ria Thereia of Austria, eldest daughter and heirefsof the Emperor Charles VII : and of Fran cis Duke of Lauraine, and Bar. Francis was, through the interest of his Consort, head of the house of Austria, eledfced E»nperor after the death of Charles VII, Duke of Bavaria ; who wascho- J'en Emperor through rhe inteieft of France, 011 Dcmife of Charles VI. Joseph, the eldcft foil of Francis antl Maria Theref'a, was born on the l 3th of March, 1741, and crowned King of the Romans, 3d April, 1764. On the death of his father, the Emperor Francis, he fuccefeded to the Kmpire in consequence of his previons election as a king of the Romans. In 1780, he succeeded to the kingdoms of Hungary and Bohemia, and in general to the whole Au strian monarchy, on the death of his mother, who had poHelled those dominions in her own right. He was twice married, and had one daughter, who died, before (lie was twelve years old. He has left many brothers and filters ; his sur viving brothers are Peter Leopold, now King of Hungary and Bohemia, &c. who by his Queen, daughter to the late King of Spain has fifteen children living. Another brother is Archduke Maximilian, Eletftor and Archbilhop of Cologn, who, as a clergyman, is of course, unmarried. The third surviving brother is Archduke Fer dinand, Governor ofthe Milanese, who married the only daughter and heiress apparent to the Duke of Modena, by whom he has two sons and two daughters. This Prince and his Consort were in England between three and four years ago The surviving filters of the Emperor are the present Dutchcfs of SaxeTefchen, Princess of Parma, the Queen of the two Sicilies, the Queen of France, and one unmarried.

On Thursday died, the Rev. Dr. Sainuei Halifax, Lord Bilhop of St. Afapb. At Toulon, afljort time ago, was launched the Commerce de Marseilles, a fine ship of 120 guns, presented to Louis the fixteentb, by the Mer chants of Marseilles. Her guns arc all on three decks, none on the poop or forecaftle ; ami flie is so conftrudied that her compleat broadside of Oxty guns, can be brought at the fame time to bear on a iingle ob j«di ; an advantage deserving the consideration of those in whom, with us, the department of conftru&ing men of war lies. There has lately been discovered, in the neigh bourhood of Hexham, a curious cave, in a rock, elev en feet by eight, within, and the roof support ed by a stone pillar : Farther in the rock is ano ther apartment, nearly of equal diuienfions. There is great reafptj to believe this to be the recels of the uniortnnsflc Margaret, of. Henry Vltl}, after the battle of Hexham, in 146 a. Philosophical readpis miglit Ife ainukii by the following circunjftance. A medjeal gentleman at Brentford, in digging a we'll some time ago, ■went near 300 sees without finding any water ; at last, however, some trace of a spring was dis covered, and on boringfome farther, itaf cended witli great force, a|}d flowed to the very top of the weff. It is worthy of being further remarked, that this water poilcfles a superior de gree purity and foftnefs, to apy in the neigh bourhood. Extra'.7 of 1 letterf\(>m Farit, Fe'o. 2s. " Last Monday Mr. Didelot made a second ex periment ofhis liquid for resisting and extinguifli ing fire. A wooden hut had been eredted in Luxemburgh gardens, and filled with inflainable materials. He firft set fire to some calks smeared over with pitch, and when the flame blazed up with much violence, he inftanfly put it out by a lini-le squirt of his aftonifiling liquids Then, mufUing himfelf up in a cloak, impregnated with the fame liquid* he palled without injury through the burning hut, and extinguifljed the fire by means of a portable engine filled with anti-incen diary liquid. Some fay it is a preparation of al -1 tun -water It produces, however, the desired efietfh Monsieur, tVe King's brother, was among the fpeiftators. The Rev. Mr. Davies, who died lately atHere ford, in the lojth year of his age, never used, for the last thirty or forty years of his life, any other exercise than that of flipping hjs feet 011 c before the oLher, from room to room, and they never were after 'that time raised up, but to go down or up itairs. His breakfaft was a hearty one of hot rolls and butter ; his dinner was a fub ftanrial one of a variety of dishes, at least during the carnival of every fummerat Lord Baten.ian s feat at Shobden Court: at his fappcr he general ly eat roast meat, and always drunk moderately of wine. He had neither gout, stone, nor cholic ; lived beloved by all v ho knew him, and died without poflefling those disagreeable infirmities which generally attend age. He was (as inoft iong livers are) very fliort, not exceeding five leer. VIENNA. On tbe 3d of March, arrived at tlie imperial Palace, in clijs cky, Peter Leopold, our new So vereign, from Florence. His imperial Majesty was received by the Great Chamberlain, and all the late Emperor's Ministers, whom there is the greatest reason to believe he will in office, at for a time. After relting here a few days, the Emperor will go into Hungary, where }\e will be crowned with all poftible expe dition. The Foreign Ministers are to have au diences to-morrow j all the Royal Family now here dine this day at Court. The hereditary Prince does not accompany his father, but will be herein the caurfe of the funimcr. The treaty with the Ottoman Porte is at a hand. Couriers continue palling to and from Peterlburgh as be fore. Mr Schmidt, Secretary to Mr. Brambilla, has nnlde a lift of 3]! those who have been sick and have died in thcAuftrian armies, from the ift of june, 1 7SB, to the 31 ft of May, 1759 ; according to which, out of 250,000 men, 172,386 have l>een sick, and 33,543 which is 7 men out of 36, or rather better than a feventfc part of the whole army, and above one fifth of the sick.
