Yesterday three waggonloads of specie were sent off from the Bank of England, under a strong escort, supposedfor the subsidy of the Austrians. The India fleet which has been so long detained at Portsmouth, will certainly be dispatched on Mon day, if the wind should be favourable fur getting under weigh. The report of the capture of a ship from China, by the Congress American frigate, as stated in the STA* of yesterday, we are sorry to say gains credit, and we' End on enquiry, that the intelligence came in a letter from a merchant at Halifax. The name of the ship which is reported to be taken is the Impregnable, a chartered ship, from Botany Bay and China for Eng land. It was also known that the Congress had taken in a large supply of provisions at Sierra, on the coast of Brazil, and was bound on a predatory expe dition against oar homev.-ard-bound Indiamen and whalers. The continuation of our series of Lidon Gazette: to the 13th instant came to our lands yesterday. They contain souk-tulle intelligence from South America; and it sht,ul.l seem, tha: uk tl..e whole abont four thou sand Spanish troops had reached the shores of La Plata. This accession of strength to the Old Go vernment had occas i oned considerable uneasiness at Buenos ,Ayres ; and five hundred Spaniards, who %ad been permitted to remain in that city, had been sent into the interior of the country, to prevent their interference .in a manner injurious to the revolutio nary party . How welcume the Revolution in adland must be to the inhabitants, may be inferred from the wretch. edness to which even the most rebpectable raiiks had L'een reduced by their French masters. The tolloW mg is an extract of a letter from Amsterdam, received by the last Mail: " We have had distressing times, and been put to many shifts to provide for a family, and keep our rank in life. tstings were. I believe, there are few g people here, or small, -who could have borne the times twu years longer. 66 A pound of brown sugar has cost 4s. 4cf.—Coffee ss. cheapest tea that was drinkable Ss. and other things in proportion ; it is true we could dis pense for ourselves with the sugar, but not wholly, as it was required for the children, Stc-. " The coffee could be replaced by what they call here artificial coffee, which was a composition of cotee, rye and succory, but was too drabby to be very palatable. Tea could not be replaced, so we were ,obliged to submit to that high price, for teas of lower prices were much adulterated. Among other means, they bought up the tea-leaves that had already been used at the coffee-houses, tea-gardens, &c. which they dried and mixed with the gihuine_tea. " Sty - has been replaced by a chemical _ igar oy . syrup extracted from beetroot, and sold for gls. 6d. per pound ; I mean the brown. Whole fields of the he aters were obliged by BoNavairrE, to be planted with this pot-herb. It would tire your patience to read all the shifts put in effect to supply the place of articles prohibited. Such conduct has much resem blance to the Fable of the Drg in the Manger. and sooner or later the issue must have been the same." Saturday night the boat of the Acit ArEs sloop of war was overset by running on a rock in Plymouth- Sound, and the whole of the crew, together with Midshipman and a Steward, were drowned, On Vuesday the bodies of five of the crew were picked up, and handsomely interred at Stoke Church.
