was demanded of him whether he was the author or publisher: he answered, that as the houfe had declared that paper to be a libel, and had voted a reward for apprehending the author or publisher, as he was apprehended in confequence of that vote, and was then actually under profecution, he could not anfwer the question; and as the house was a party concerned, he thought they ought not to afk it. One of the members propofed, that as he refufed to plead, he should fuffer the peine forte at dure, but this proposal was treated with contempt. The houfe, however, voted Mr. M-Dougall guilty of contempt, and a breach of privilege; and ordered him to afk pardon, which he refufed to do, as he was not concious of having been guilty of either. He was forthwith committed to gaol, where he now remains, and is vifited by perfens of all ranks." Feb. 16. MARRIAGES. N Ireland, Major Gen. GifI borne, to Mifs Boyde-26.

The parliament of Dijon has prefented a moft fpirited addrefs, or remonftrance, to the king, in which they tell him, "that he is a king by the law, and that he cannot reign but by the law." Extract of a Letter from Paris, Feb. 28, "The French king held a bed of justice here on the 22d of February last, when he iffued an edict, which was registered the next day to the following effect, namely, that as the jurifdiétion of the parliament was too extenfive, reaching from Lyons fouthwardly, to Arras in French Flanders northwardly, which great diftance occafioned much expence to his fubjects, who might be obliged to come to Paris for the profecution of their law affairs, his majesty has thought fit to branch the parliament of Paris into five diferent parliaments, under the denomination of fuperior courts, each parliament having fmilar jurifdiction; and that his majefty had appointed them their refpective falaries, on the underwritten establish 24 attornies 12 huiffiers miles diftant from that city, which having flopped the courfe of the ftream, the city and adjacent country are overflowed. PORTUGA L. Lisbon, Jan. 22. Two edicts of the are juft ifiued, which prohibit the im king: Agreeable to this eftablishment the first fupe-portation of hats, China and earthen ware, rior court is that of Arras in French Flanders; brought from any foreign country. the fecond Blois; the third Clermont Fersand; the fourth Lyons; the fifth Poitiers. It is conjectured, that all the other parliaments of France will be new-modelled after this regulation. The friends of the chancellor trumpet abroad this new regulation as a mafter-piece of politicks, which cannot fail, they think, of endearing him to the people but they seem to forget the main point of the ftory, and that is, that the town of Paris, hitherto fo brilliant in equipages and magnificent hotels, will become, in a year or two, little better than any other of their towns in which parliaments are to be annually held. Verfailles, March 6. The different provinces of France, over which the new tribunals, called fuperior councils, have lately been appointed by the king, have refpectively remonftrated against that procedure with the utmoft fpirit, recognized declarations made in former reigns, and peremptorily afferted, that the late edict was abfolutely fubverfive of private and public good, and prefented to the people no other view than that of the moft enflaved defpotifm. The young princes of Sweden were at the Royal Obfervatory at Paris when the news came of their father's death. The aftronomy profeffor kept it a fecret 'till the lecture was over, but very ingenioufly during the lecture was expatiating on the influence the heavenly bodies often had in great human events, and then difclofed the melancholy news. Confines of Ruffia, Feb. 7. According to a ftate of our grand army for the campaign of 1771, it will confift of 140,800 men. The militia of Courlfk and Ritfk, who, form a corps of 25000 men, with two regiments of dragoons and four of infantry, is defined to take poffeffion of the Crimea. There is at prefent at Kinkirmin a fleet of fourteen. fhips of twenty gnns each, 36 transport Veffels nine bomb-ketches, and three fire-fhips, a fufficient force to fecure us the fovereignty of the black fea. The court is determined to join in no negociation for a peace with the Porte, unless the preliminary condition, which is a fine qua non, be made the basis of it, to wit, that the empire of Ruffia fhall be directly put in poffeffion, for ever, of the Crimea.

TURKEY. Conftantinople, Feb. 4. Prince Bajazet, brother to the Grand Seignor and next heir to the throne, died on the 24th paft, in the 54th year of his age. According to letters from Smyrna, the chevalier Montagu, fon of the celebrated Lady Montague, Ambatladrefs to the Porte, who had retired with his fpoufe to the island of Metelin, was very near perifhing there at the time of the maffacre of the Greeks by the Turks in that ife: he escaped death only by paying the fum of two thousand piaftres. Thefe letters add that he is gone for Syria, and that he proposes to fix his refidence in the mountains of Caftrevan, which form part of Libanus, if the troubles with which that province is threatened do not hinder his project. Paris, March 11. Upon the count de Maillebois being appointed one of the directors general of war, the marshals of France reprefented to the king that that officer had rendered himself unworthy of the poft conferred upon him, by the affair with the late M. de Eftrees, which was decided by the tribunal in 1751. His majefty made answer, if the count de Maillebois acted wrong, I punished him for it; but I have fince found that his military talents may be of service to me in the commiffion I have given him." Notwithftanding this answer, the Marshals of France have repeated their reprefentations to the king, and his majefty has acquiefced with them. He has removed the count de Maille-E thank a noble earl for his kind intenbois from the poft he had given him, and conferred it upon the licutenant-general count de Muy, GERMAN Y. Hamburgh, Feb. 19.
