CHRONICLE. 
14 M AY. 
10th. Constantinople. On the 3d 
inst. the Grand Vizir Jussuff Pa- 
shaw was deposed from that office, 
and is succeeded by Meleck Me- 
hemmet Pashaw of Canea, in Can- 
dia. ‘The plague has manifested 
itself in every part of this residence 
and the neighbouring villages. Ac- 
cidents of the contagion happen 
daily in Galata and Pera: it has 
also made great progress in the 
Archipelago, and many parts of 
Asia, particularly at Smyrna. 
12th. Nottingham. A riot com- 
menced here, on account of the 
high price of buchers’ meat. A 
large body of the lower class of 
people assembled in the market- 
place, and, after manifesting symp- 
toms of riot, by loud huzzas and 
much disturbance, entered the 
shambles, which, in a short time, 
they cleared of the meat, as well 
as all utensils belonging to the 
butchers; and as some of them 
were so improvident as to leave 
their books behind them, those 
generally went to wreck in the 
confusion. The doors, shutters, 
fire-places, &c. were also broken 
down, and the broken wood col- 
lected to make fire in the market- 
place; but the mayor calling in 
the military (some troops of the 
6th regiment of dragoons lying at 
this time in the town) and pru- 
dently addressing the mob, he pre- 
vailed upon them to depart, hav- 
= assured them, that if they 
I persisted, he would make use 
of the power which the law had 
entrusted to him. Some pieces 
: fired by the soldiers; but 
do not hear of any person be- 
ing wounded. On Sunday morn- 
a great number of people as-

sembled again, and seemed to 
threaten a further riot: the mayor 
himself went among them, endea- 
vouring to dissuade them from any 
more disorders: and one or two 
butchers setting up a stall in the 
market-place, and offering their 
meat at reduced prices, the peace 
af the town was restored, On 
Monday afternoon the people as- 
sembled again, and their threats 
seemed chiefly directed against the 
master shoe-makers; it being con- 
fidently asserted here, that men’s 
shoes are sold at 2s. a pair less at 
some other places than Notting- 
ham, and women’s in proportion. 
However, through the vigilance 
of the magistrates, assisted by the 
military, the mob were dispersed, 
without any material damage. 
14th. Mendoza and Ward met 
upon a turf-stage on Smithin Bot- 
tom, four miles from Croydon, in 
Surry. These famous  pugilists 
set-to exactly a quarter before 
three o’clock. The contest lasted 
twenty-eight minutes, during which 
time twenty-four rounds of severe 
fighting took place. The first 
thirteen rounds Ward was knock- 
ed down by Mendoza; the four- 
teenth round Ward placed a blow 
upon the right jaw of Mendoza, 
which brought him with great force 
to the ground. Mendoza, however, 
recovered, and from that time 
knocked his antagonist down till 
the twentieth round ; when closing, 
after a severe contest, in which 
several heavy blows were given 
and received, both the combatants 
came to the ground; Mendoza, 
however, fell upon Ward. At the 
conclusion of the twenty-fourth 
round, Ward yielded the palm of . 
victory to Mendoza. Upon Ward’s 
declining any further contest, Men-
