July 29. RBirch, near Colchester, Effex, Ev. Mr Marcus Gibbin, at and rector of that place above 30 years. A man not only esteemed by his parish, as an excellent preacher, a pious and tender paftor of his flock; but greatly beloved by the neighbouring clergy and gentlemen, for his polite and entertaining converfation: His genius, which was naturally elevated and strong, was much improved by his travels into France, Italy and other countries, with Mr Addison. The obfervations which he made as a travelJer, he digefted into rules of practice, as a protestant divine, a found fcholar, and a true Briton; fo that his death may be truly faid to be a public lofs. This worthy gentleman was curate of Gravesend, in Kent, in 1715; when the Dutch troops which came over to quell the Preston rebellion, quarter'd, there, and the officers requested of Mr Gibbin the ufe of his church one Sunday morning, for their chaplain to preach to their foldiers; alledging, that the like favour had been granted them in every parish in England, where they had been quartered on Sunday, and promiling that their chaplain fhould begin at fix in the morning, that their fervice might not interfere with that of the town. The requeft was granted, the chaplain preached, and his congregation was difmiffed before nine o'clock. Bat the late Dr Atterbury, the Bishop of Rochefter was fo incenfed at this prophanation (as he ftiled it) of the church, by the Dutch prefbyterian worship, that he immediately fufpended Mr Gibbin. This fufpenfion was however deemed fo injurious by the town of Gravesend, that they fubfcribed a fum to Mr Gibbin, more than double the income of his church; and the fact being reprefented to his late majefty, he gave him the rectory of North-fleet in Kent; which living Mr Gibbin afterwards exchanged for Birch in Effex. 29.

A mutiny that slately happened in the neighbourhood of Mofcow, is at length brought to a bloody, period: two detachments of troops came up with the rioters, furrounded them, cut moft of them to pieces, and took the reft prifoners. D DENMARK. The king, to encourage the E. India company, has made them a present of a ship of war, with all her tackling, guns, &c. valued at above 60,000 crowns.An officer of the marine, who has been three times in Greenland, has delivered to the principal miEnisters of the navy, his reafons (fupported by the opinion of feveral mariners that use Da vis's ftrai s, and the inhabitants of the Danifh colony there) for an pen and fhort paffage into the South Seas, from the head of Baffin's bay; but they are not permitted to publish them. SWEDEN. The culture of tobacco has of late been greatly encouraged in this kingdom. It is manufactured already in 13 townships. We are debating, whether or no we shall fend a fleet of 100 ships, agreeable to a ftipuIation with Great Britain, in a former treaty, upon the herring fifhery on the coafts of Shetland, which article our politicians affirm is fill in full force. On the gift of July, at Skelleffen, in the western Boibnia, wind at S. W. tell a prodigious fhower of hail, many of the ftones being as large as hens eggs.

The E. of Hindford arrived here yesterday, and repaired immediately to Herenbaufen, where he was received by the king with great diftinction.

Rome, July 24, A treasure has been found on the eftate of Pafferano, which belongs to prince Pallavicini: A peafant perceiving his plough to ftrike deeper than ordinary, flopt to view the hole, and found feveral pieces of gold in an urn which the plough had broke: upon which he left his work, and fpent two or three days in carrying this treafure to his houfe, but being inhafte to put off the ftrange coin, the fecret was blown. He could not refufe to tell fome of his neighbours how he came by it; and other peafants going to the fpot, and digging a little deeper, found more of the fame coin, which is ftamped with the effigy of the emperor Juftinian, as appears by the infcription; the government ordered the peasants to be taken into cuftody as foon as they were informed of the affair; things found in this manner being the property of the strongeft, according to cuftom, tho' not according to equity. An irreconcileable difference feems to have happened betwixt the pretender and his fón, cardinal York, who is retired into a convent, because his father will not 'difcard some pèrfons who have too much influence over him.

Fons in difpute between the parliament and The commiffion for determining the que clergy, has hitherto done but little, and as the king iffues arrets fometimes in favour of the clergy, and fometimes in favour of the parliament, the differences are not like to be foon accommodated, "nor the public tran» quillity reftored. G V Notwithstanding the vigorous order lately given by the king, to hinder his proteffant fubjects from going out of his kingdom, great numbers retire to Switzerland, from Languedoc and Dauphiny; many have alfo fled to Ireland, Jersey, the British colonies in "America, and no inconfiderable number to Pruffia. It is true, they run infinite risques before they can reach the frontiers, and the confciencious people on the road, who were committed to prifon. Berlin, Aug. 9.

Nourfe 387 even to curiofity, in the fentence paffed on this affuming piece, and the publick deferves applause of the bigbeft kind, for having crushed in the bud fo threatning a mifchief. It will be in vain to accufe the town either of patronizing dullness, or illnature, while this inftance can be produced, in which a load of perfonal fatir and could not procure purchafers enough to promote a fecond number. It will not be eafy to fay too much in favour of that candour, which has rejected, and deSpifed a piece that cruelly and unjustly attack'd Mr Smart, &c."-This character of the Impertinent, and account of its recepsion, however quaint, and inaccurate the expreffions, as they are indifputably juft, might be thought a fufficient gratification of publick curiofity; but there is yet an interefting anecdote behind with which "the world has a right to be acquainted".-The man who thus refents the cruel treatment of Mr Smart in the Infpector, and he who thus cruelly treated him in the Impertinent, is known to be the fame. The worthy and ingenious Dr Hill, who every day obliges the world with a moral, or a philofophical effay; and on Saturday with a lecture on religion, is the fcribler who publifh'd the load of perfonal abufe, that excited the indignation of the public, and produced the most pert, affuming, and hert lived of all the periodical pieces which have lately appeared; and in this abufe and pertnefs, he would probably have per fifted till the work had fwell'd to a volume; but that the contempt, and indignation with which his attempt was treated, difcourag'd him from rifking the neceffary expence of paper and printing, and induced him to join in the publick cenfure, as a detected felon, when be is perfued, cries out top thief, and hopes to efcape in the croud that follows Fim. 16.
