LONDON, Atiguft li. ExtraCl of a littsr from Vicuna, July 27. " A deputation of the States oi Bohemia,head ed by Count Ruttenhani, is jult arrived here ; their business is to invite the Eai.peror to his co ronation at Prague " M. Noailles did not appear in the circle on iunday the 24th. lie had been invited ior that day to an entertainment at Count Hatzreld s, the Minister of State, with foine other perl'ons of the Corps Diplomatique. Count Hatzteld hearing of what had palled between Prince Kaunitz and the Marquis de Noailles, that the latter could not be acknowledged as amballador of the King of France till his Moll Chriftiau Majelty was re established in the full exercise of all his privi leges, the Count wrote him a note, excufinghitn fel f from the pleasure of receiving him. But this regarded only his character of Anibafiador, as he is personally much eiteemed among the Nobility. " The Chancellor of war has entered into con radts with a number of bakers, which proves ;hat there is some other military enterprize in agitation ; and it is openly said, that within a ihort time 12 battalions will , receive orders to march into the Netherlands. " The Emperor is very seriously displeased with the new Constitution of France. " A meeting which called itfelf a Club of Li berty, and was held here a la Franoife, has been broken up, and its members impiifoned. Among them is a certain Abbe, who had before received an intimation to quit Vienna." It is not Oczakow, but the chain of mountains called Barkan, which forms the defence of COll - Oczakow is but a solitary fortrefs, situated in the midst of an uncultivated country, on the borders of the Black Sea. Died, at Edinburgh, 'after a short illness, the Rev. Dr. Thomas Blacklock, a name well known in the learned world, and which will long fur tive him. He was an extraordinary person. Tbo totally deprived of fight from his early infancy, and unafiifted by the advantages of fortune, /his genius, notwithstanding these unfavorable cir cutnftances, Ihoue outin various productions both in verse and prose. He was an excellent clallical scholar, and well versed in moil of the other branches of literature. As a poet, a pbilofopher, and a divine, a great share of merit will not be denied him by those who are acquainted with his writings. His poetical wor&s are marked with such an elegance and forceMf diction, such a glow and propriety of description, and such an ardour of sentiment, as affed the feelings of e very reader of taste, and ha*e accordingly been admired by the bed judges in Great-Britain. His muse was.ever the frisnd of virtue, for he himfelf was the friend of human kind. The whole of his private life was an amiable example of unaffected piety towards God, nnd undifltfin bled good will to men.! His conversation was animated, entertaining, and inftm<ftive. His wit, of which he poffefled no small share; often gave pleasure, but never pain. " Mult'u ille fle ■bilii occidit /" Such was the mildness of his tem per, the benevolence of his heart, and the ele gance of his mind, that it was impotfibie to know hiin and not to love him ; and it may truly be said, that he never loft a friend, nor made a foe. <s Him Nature wiih no common care delign'd : — " O! with what ardour did his piercing view, " Through every maze of Nature Tiuth pursue ; ,s Sacred to Virtue and the Muff, his breast, " With Heaven's own loveliest image was imprest : li Like Heaven's eternal goodness, unconfin'd, M His sou! with one fond with, etnbrae'd mankind." August 24, _ At the York Assizes, John Bennett, a Sheffield rioter, having been proved upon the cleared evi dence, to have set fire to the house of Mr. Wil kinfon, the Magistrate, was capitally conviified. A warrant has just been signed by his Majesty for 1,250k to Meflrs. Duval ar.d Co. for a pi eft u re, as a present to the Spanish Plenipotentiary who signed the late Convention. Mr. Trotter, Secretary to the Treasurer of the Navy, proceeds this clay to Portfinouih with ioo,oool. under a strong guard, to aHi ft in the discharge of the feainen belonging to tliofe /hips that are ordered to be paid off.—Adequate funis have also been ordered for Plymouth, Chatham, Sheernefs, &c. for the fame puipofe. We believe we may fafely announce to the public, that the Courts of Spain, Aultria, and •Prussia, do not mean to take immediate lioftile measures againlt the French. On the 25th of this month is the feaft of St. Louis, when it is usual to present a bouquet to the king. Ir is thought, however, that this cus tom will be dispensed with, and that in place of the bouquet, he will be prefeirted with the con ftituiional art for his approval. The Turkifli army is entirely dispersed, and in the utmost confulion, InnnediateJv after the battle of Maczin, the Arnauts fell upon the Janif fa.ies, and, from the intelligence we have re ceived, the latte; have fufFered a greater loss in this attack than in the battle. The whole kingdom of Spain resembles one entire Inquiiition. The natives are not fuffered to leave their country, or mention one i'yliable relating to politics. We /bill hope that all think alike and that their patriotifni will fucldenly burlt forth, to the dellruiiiion of despotism, and the ruin of fuperflition. Mr. Wilberforce is furnifhing hinifelf with ad ditional evidence in favor of his (lave abolition bill, which he means to bring forward a second time early next leflion of Parliament. A court of directors of the Ealt-India Compa ny was held on Wednesday in Leadenhall-ilreet, when it was resolved, that from the id of Sep tember next, salt-petrk lliould be ifiued to the purchasers at thirty-one (hillings per hundred weight. Since the King of France has been suspended from his royal fuiidlions, the Spaniih, Swedilh, Imperial and Sardinian Ministers at Paris, have refuted 10 hold any fort of correspondence with the present Ministry of France. They very pro perly fay, that they were deputed from their So vereigns to confer with the Minilfers of the King, and not with thole appointed by a nation al convention. The Governors General of the Low Countries havejuft publilhed a proclamation from the Em peror, granting an indemnity and free pardon to all thole engaged in the Belgic infurretftion. The Counsels de la Motte, who lately jumped our of a two pair of stairs window to avoid the bailiff*, died on Tuesday night at her lodgings near Altley's riding school By the accoHiits of some prints, we might be ieve that the intended duchess of iYork was to !>e sent out of her own country in a (late of na ture. —One has made the Queen present her with jewels, and the other has kindly given her a pair of Ihoes, and a third has made the Prince of Wales fee that cloaths ar provided for her!— Tliefe good* gentlemen probably will not flop in their charitable donations to her royal liigh nefs, until the last (hi ft is made for her. The National Aflembly lias eftabliflied, in eve ry maritime town in France, profeflors for teach ing navigation, and the working of (hips, in or der to make their common sailors the molt expert in the world.
