LONDO N, June 3 .
By letters lately received from Boston we learn,that
there is no less than three German Princes upon their
travels incog. inNew-England ! This looks not a little
suspicious; certain it is, there is not a court in Ger
many, that would not fend their belt generals to the
assistance of the Americans.
Orders are sent to all the ports of England, Scot
land, and Ireland, to make the utmost expedition in
fitting out the royal navy, as it is looked upon that
war is inevitable.
A courier is set out for Gibraltar under the most
pressing instances, to make all possible expedition :
insomuch that he is promised 500 guineas reward if
he arrives there in seven days, which we should sup
pose impossible ; and 200 guineas if he gets there in
nine days.
A fleet is said will be expedited for Lisbon witli
all possible expedition, as it is not doubted but the
war between Spain and Portugal will open very
soon.
It is not at all probable, fays a correspondent,
that the King's troops were defeated, as has been re
ported, and in capitals published in some of the pa
pers ; but it will doubtless be found that thay tho't
it most prudent to retreat before night came on,
when they saw the whole country rising upon them ;
and it is most likely we shall hear, that the main bo
dy, at least, repeated in tolerable good order, tho'
perhaps at firff they or their detachments were a
little discomposed, as was very natural when they
found, contrary to the dodrine so induftrionfly in
filled into them all the lajl winter, that the Ameri
cans would light, as it now pretty fully appears they
will Of their veteran courage they gave a very
fufficient specimen at Concord bridge, where the
principal landholders of the county, and some of the
clergy, boldly marched, and nobly faced the king's
troops, who had taken poffelhon of that important
pass to the great annoyance of his Majesty's fubjeds;
and here, to the Amazement of the picked grenadiers
Rationed at this place, these cowards, as they have
been called, drew up in battle array within pistol
shot of the king's troops, and coolly waited their
firft fire, and then as calmly and regularly returned
and continued it, till this detachment of zoo men
fled to the main body.
We are assured that Lord Rochford seems deter
mined to assert the honor of the Engliih nation, he
having, in a memorial to the court of Spain, urged
the necessity of an explanation of the great naval ar
maments now fitting out in the different ports of
that kingdom, in such spirited terms, that the court
of Madrid muff either give an immediate answer or
come to an open rupture.
We are assured, that Lord Chatham has had no
left than three audiences of a great personage within
the lad three weeks.

Wetn^rsrteld, Aug. iq, 1775.
r—; HEREAS my husband, Timothy Hubbard,
~V has advertised me in the public prints, and
forewarned all persons entertaining me, &c.---Al
thb' 'tis very difagreable to expose to public view,
the miseries and calamities of a diftraded family,
yet felf-defence obliges me to tell the world, 1 hat
about three years since, I was married to a certain
Timothy Hubbard ; the whole of which time since
I have fuffered intolerable abuse and cruelty from
him, mostly in secret---have been in constant fear
of losing my life ; threatning to have it destroyed by
violence has been common. About fix months fine
(my patience being spent) I applied to the civil au
thority of this town for direction ; they sent for
him, when, before two Justices, he confeffed all I
laid to his charge, and most faithfully promised re
formation---! was advised to make tryal a second
time---! accordingly made a fufficient trial, and
found I mull either quit my life or my husband I
made my choice, which produced the foregoing ad
verrifement, and in which he promises fair, indeed !
---he always was excellent at promising, but very
forgetful to perform. He invites me to return and
live with him---ifhe has perform'd his engagement
to his country, I muff go to the camp before Boftoa
to doit, but ihould not be surprised to find him as
perfidious to his officers as to me. He has left no
house or estate to return to, to which he has any ti
tle---this inconvenience I have been no Granger to
since my marriage. 'Tis not possible for meto involve
him in debt, where he is known. I hope he will
disgorge all his thirst for blood in the cause of his
country, and return home a human creature, which
would greatly rejoice his much injured wife, who
would then be willing to live with and maintain
him, or (ifhe fhouid choose) would give my con
fentthat any person fhouid harbour, entertain, de
tain or credit him,'that was willing so to do.
