Some Selected Reports from the County Journal or Craftsman

Saturday, September 19, 1730.

To CALEB D'ANVERS, Esq.

SIR,
I Remember that you or one of your Correspondents, gave us, some Time ago, a Dissertation on Dogs; but I was somewhat surpriz'd that you should not say any Thing in Behalf of our English Greyhounds; a Species of this Animal which deserved some Notice, on Account of their Beauty and Usefulness. They are tall, well shaped Creatures, and exceedingly swift-footed, when halloo'd upon their Game. It is for this Reason, I presume, that our Messengers of State carry the Figure of a Greyhound on their Breasts, as a Badge of their Office; and perhaps, This might likewise be the Reason, that induced you to drop them in your Panegyrick on the Canine Race, as not altogether agreeable to your Design; for the News Papers inform us that some of your reputed Agents have been often coursed by these Cabinet Couriers; particularly One, who was lately started at Covent-Garden and having squatted, for some Time, in Westminster, was at last run down near Windsor; but as He had the good Fortune to escape being torn up by the Dogs; I hope the Huntsman will be so kind as to give Him Law once more.
I am, SIR, yours, &c.

The Deposition of WILLIAM ANNYS, Master of the Brigantine: Hannah's Hope of London.

This Deponent, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that he sailed from Philadelphia in North America the 17th of April last, bound to this Island directly; that he did not touch, or intend to touch, at any other Port or Place ; that in his Passage hither on the 17th of May last, off the S.E. Cape of Hispaniola, he was chased by two Sloops, one of which coming up with him soon after, hoisted SPANISH Colours, and fired one of his after Guns at the said Brigantine, then reach'd under her Lee within Pistol shot, and fired 50 or 60 small Arms, hailed her, and ordered their Boat on board, or they would sink her. That the other Sloop upon coming up Iikewise hailed her, demanded from whence she came, what they were loaded with, and ordered her Boat on board. Upon which this Deponent did send his Boat with four Men on board them, one of which was his Mate, who was examined by them concerning the Loading of the said Brigantine, from whence she came, and where bound to. This Deponent further saith, that while his Men were under Examination. the Lieutenant of each Sloop, with fourteen Men, came on Board the said Brigantine, enter'd the Cabbin, secur'd their Arms, and cried a Buen Prize: that they beat and drove the Men belonging to the said Brigantine about the Decks, held Pistols to their Breasts, and threaten'd them with Death if they did not confess where their Money was; That one of the Lieutenants demanded the Deponent's Watch, and another belonging to a Passenger, which he took; then ordered the Lockers to be opened, and took from thence Wine and other Liquors, which he and his Men drank, and carried with them. That they broke open his People's Chests, and took out their Cloaths and such Necessaries as they had, and then made Sail for Savona where they anchored; that about Noon the Day following one of the Spanish Sloops anchored by them, and sent a Boat on Board several Times, but what she carried with her this Deponent cannot positively declare, being kept close Prisoner; That soon after they weighed and anchored at a Harbour West of Catalona, where they lay from eight at Night till seven the next Morning, where the Captain of one of the Spanish Sloops, named Pelancho, as this Deponent was informed, came on board, and demanded the Reason of his being on their Coasts; to which this Deponent answered, that he was under a Necessity of making some Part of Hispaniola, in their Passage to Jamaica, and that he had no Design to trade there. That the said Pelancho ordered the long Boat to be loaded with Bread, and enquired what was the prime Cost, and computed the Weight at 70 Hundred, for which he drew a Draft on himself; payable at Carthogena for Ł210. which he signed, Joseph Floranto, though his Name is Pelancho, as this Deponent was informed by some of his People. That the said Pelancho required a Receipt for the same, which the Deponent was under a Necessity of signing, being apprehensive of worse Treatment if he did not; that he was informed by the People belonging to the said Spanish Sloops. that they were fitted out from Carthagena, and commissioned as Guarda Costa's; that one of them; commanded by Capt. Pelancho, was named De la-Popa, the other the Sta. Maria, but the Commander's Name this Deponent doth not remember: This Deponent further saith, that according to the best Computation he is able to make the Value of the Goods taken from him by the said Pelancho and his Men amounted to about, Four hundred and fifty Pounds, Jamaica Money. and further saith not--WILLIAM ANNIS.

Extract of a Letter from James Fort, on the River Gambia in Guiney, dated July 4, 1730.

We have had a bloody Tragedy perpetrated lately in this River, for on the 25th of last Month the Emperor of Fonca, which is on the South-Side of this River, opposite to our Fort, was horribly massacred with his Family, by his rebellious Subjects, who coming suddenly in the Night-time, set Fire to his House in his Capital Town, permitting none to come out, and burnt him, his Mother, seven Wives, two Brothers, and most of his Children and Servants to Death.

Extract of a Letter from Palermo, dated Aug.16.

Yesterday being the Festival of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, and, according to Custom, a Day of Joy, happen'd to prove a Day of Destruction. A great Procession being made every Year out of this City on the Anniversary, as it return'd back a terrible Fire broke out at a House in the great Street, and as no proper Means could be immediately come at to extinguish the Flames, and the Wind blowing very strong, the neighbouring Houses, and afterwards many more, took Fire, so that the Buildings between the Gate of Vienna and the Arsenal were all laid in Ashes; among which were the College of Jesuits, and the Great Tower, in which last the Bells were melted by the Vehemence of the Heat. The Church of the Carmelites and the Town-House are also burnt; but we had the good Luck, however, to save the Records. About Seven o'Clock in the Evening the Powder Magazine of the Royal Bastion, in which were 400 Barrels of Powder, blew up into the Air, with a most dreadful Noise, whereby not only Part of the Bastion, but also a great Number of Buildings were demolish'd, and many People perish'd in the Ruins. Soon after this the Arsenal and all the Houses about it blew up likewise; as also the small Magazine, wherein were a great many filled Bombs, Carcasses and Grenadoes. The Magazine in the lower Town is yet safe, but is in great Danger. The Barracks for the Soldiers, the Governor's House, and that of the Corps du Guard; are also destroy'd; but little remains in that Part, except the Cloister of Franciscans, that of the Nuns of St. Cecilia, and, the great Powder Magazine of the Bastion of Leopold. The Wind was so very high that the Sparks of Fire were carried as far as the neighbouring Villages, the Damage occasioned by this Conflagration is inexpressible, the Governor having lost 20,000 Rix-dollars in Plate and Moveables.

He formerly performed it on Persons with Success, as has appeared by the Testimony of several eminent Physicians and Surgeons. who were pleased to allow their Names to be made use of in the publick Prints as an undoubted Testimony of the Truth of the said Cures. He has since that recovered a great many who had Ailments in those parts, and some who imagined themselves incurable, after having made use of other Applications to no purpose; particularly two Gentlemen, who were cured by him in the Year 1724, were view'd and examin'd in Janury 1727, by some of the Physicians and Surgeon. mentioned above, who unanimously expressed their intire Setisfaction in the cure of both of them, and of the certainty of his Method. There are likewise two at three Gentlemen to be heard of at Mr. Francklin's, a Bookseller in Covent-Garden, who, tho' they may not be willing to have their Names published are ready to acknowledge their being cured by him.
As he has long practised this Method with Success, so he performs it within the compass of 3 or 4 Weeks, and without giving the Patient the Trouble or Fatigue of wearing a Truss, after the Cure is perfected; his Hours are from 8 to 12.in the Morning, except Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
