Extract by,a letter from the Hague, Sept. 2. " An express is arrived here with accounts that peace is established between Rufiia and the Porte, at Maczin, in fight of the two armies." The Duke of V/nrtemberg is expetfted to re turn to this metropolis early in the spring, when a marriage between his Serene Highnefsarrtl one of the King's daughters is expected to be folein nized. ETTR. A ORDINARY SUICIDE. An extraordinary and melancholy circumstance took place yesterday afternoon 1 in Vinestreet, Chandos-ftreet. A young man, genteelly drefl'- ed, went with oneof the many wretched females that inhabit that place, and, being alone with her in the room, exprefled a great partiality for the sensation of hanging ; he used many argu ments to persuade the girl to tie him up for five niiniites, which, in conf'equence of a protnifed re ward of half a guinea, she at length consented to ; upon this he produced a new cord from his pocker, and she fattened him to a "staple in the room. After he had hung some little time the girl began to be terrified ; upon perceiving him motionless file was so frightened ihe could not fulfil her promise of cutting him down, and with difficulty alarmed the people in the house, but too late; for when afliftance came, he was too far gone for recovery. Such is the account given by the woman, nor did there appear any suspici ous circumltances to doubt the fa<ft. He was tak en to St. Martin's watch-house, and in his pockets were found a guinea and an half, but no paper which could lead to a difeovery of his person. Peter Motteux, the well-known translator of Don Quixote into Englifli, loft his life in thefame manner, and from the fame caule, as the man who was hanged in Vine-ftreer. Mr. Motteux had taken two women of the town into a tavern in St. James's (Ireet, who, by his desire, hanged him, and were to have cut him down in five mi nutes. Jult at this period, a trumpet was heard in the ftreer, and some procession went along ; the curiofily of the gjirls was excited, and when they returned to relieve the suspended gallant, he was dead. The man who was hanged on Friday, by his own desire, was a musician of some estimation ; his name was Kotzwarra, a German. On the ex amination of the girl, circumstances transpired, which are improper for detail here—the mod fa vourable conclusion we can draw is, that the man was insane. The Jury, after fitting till near 12 o'clock, re turned with a verdiift—Guilty of Murder-but not intentionally. Weymouth, Saturday Evetiing. This evening, at fix o'clock, their Majesties ar rived at this place, with all their Roval Suite.
