CORNWALL, 
Tt does not appear that the petitions of the 
proprietors of mines to goverrment have 
procured the adoption of any meafure for 
their relict. Meanwhile feveral of the largeft 
mining concerns in the county, fuch as the 
Confolidated Mines, Dolcoath, and others, 
continue to drag on heavily, and at a great 
lofs, in the hope of a favourable change; 
and fhould this not foon take place, they muft 
inevitably ftop.

DEATHS ABROAD. 
At Lifbon, Don juan de Braganza, Duke of 
Lafoens, uncle of the prefent Queen of Por- 
tugal, and founder and perpetual prefident of 
the Portuguefe Royal Academy of Sciences. 
In the Seven years war, he had ferved as a 
volunteer in the Auftrian army; after the 
reftoration of peace made the ufual tour of 
Europe, and vifited Lapland. In 1773, he 
travelled into Greece, Turkey, and Egypt. 
All the contemporary fovereigns, Frederic the 
Great, Catharine il. Clement AILV. JofephIT. 
&c. highly efteemed and refpeéted him, with 
the laft mentioned he carried on an epiftolary 
correfpondence, and on his return to his native 
country, he founded the Royal Academy of 
Sciences ; the expences of which, he himfelf 
defrayed for five years. He thought it not 
enough to be the patron of the fciences, but 
likewife cultivated them himfelf. He was 
of a lively chearful difpofition, and was dif~ 
tinguifhed for the opennefs and magnanimity 
of his chara€ter. He had a ftrong predilec- 
tion to the French, and degraded himfelf by 
accepting one of the grand-crofles of Bona- 
parte’s Legion of Honor. 
PORT. 
HE humidity and attendant mildnefs of the feafon, have retarded the preparation for fow- 
ing and fetting Field Beans on ftrong foils, operations on which ufually have at this time 
been in great forwardnefs. On light foils, preparations have been made for fowing Barley, 
and a great breadth of lay ground has been already broken up for Oats. The Wheats, Rye, 
and winter Tares ftill continue to look well, and the Artificial Graffes are very flourifhing, and 
promife early feed for Ewes and Lambs. Wheat averages, throughout England and Walesy 
75s. 8d. ; Barley, 37s. 11d +; and Oats, 26s. 4d. 
From the Fens, immenfe droves of colefeed-ted fheep have been recently fent to Smithfield 
in high condition. But from the prevailing warmth and wetnefs, colefeed is found to grow 
too faft, and the remainder of the feeding ftock, which is ftill confiderable, do not do fo well. 
The fame obfervation holds good, in refpect to Turnips—a crop which has been this wine 
ter univerfally good, and abundant. 
The prattice of ftall-feeding beafts on oil-cake, ground corn, turnips, &c. being now ge- 
neral, fcarcely a well managed farm is without a few, and it occafions a great ftock of fat cate 
tle, in the country, which has confiderably reduced the prices of fat meat. Notwithftanding 
the large fupplies wanted by government and merchant shipping, Cows and Calves are more 
reafonable. = 
Little bufinefs has been lately done, in the horfe markets. Some few Fen-bred cart Colts 
have been fold at very high prices. 
The demand for Porking Pigs ftill continues great. InSmithfield, Beef fetches from 4s. 6d. 
to 5s.3d.; Mutton, from 4s. 5d, to 5s.; and Pork, from 5s. 6d. to 6s. 6d.
