ADVERTISER.
DECEMBER 12th, 1774.
Madrid, Jug, 31. Letters from Cadiz advise,
that the 18th of this month Brigadier Don Adrien
Caudron Cantin had set fail for La Vera Cruz.
These Ships had on board the regiment of Galicia,
with vast quantities of ammunition and provisions.
IVar/aw, Sept. 17. Some time ago the Ruffian
Ambassador proposed to the delegation that all
the confederates of Bar who remained abroad,
and have not chosen to sign any recess, should be
declared enemies to the country, which propor
tion took place; in consequence of which, Prince
Kadzivil, who went to Constantinople a little be
fore the peace, was yesterday Gripped of all his
titles and honours, and the place of Waiwode of
Wilna, which he held, was declared vacant.
HAG U E, fluguft go.
AR EPORT Was current, that the Regency
of Algiers had proposed to the Emperor of
Morocco a league against Oran; that that Prince:
had in consequence caused to march 800 camels,
with between four and five thousand bombs, and
18 cannoniers; that he had published a pardon
f>r all robbers, deserters, rebels, and insolvent
debtors, who would join in this war against the
chriftians; but we have reason to think, that
whatever may have been the Emperor's design in
the above armament, he will not attack the pre
sidencies of Spain. One thing, however, is cer
tain, he hath made a demand from the city of
Fez, to restore to him all the effects which have
been appropriated by that city to their own use
during the life of his late father, and the period
of anarchy and sedition after his death. The in
habitants of Fez oppose this with all their might,
and it still remains undetermined whether he will
be able to force them to refund.
LONDO N, September 23.
We are well informed, by a private letter from
Portsmouth, that the Endeavour tranfpott, which
is arrived from Falkland's island, hath brought
home from thence all the people and the stores;
consequently there is now an end ofthat important
acquisition, which is tamely submitted to the court
of Spain by a timid and most dastardly Ministry.
An English gentleman lately arrived from Paris
fays, that a plan is under consideration for regu
lating the Convents in France; it having been re
presented to his Majesty, that some very Shameful
practices are too frequent in the Cells and Cloyfters.
It is conjectured that there are near 200 mem
bers in the present Parliament who will not be
returned at the next election, even with the go
vernment interest on their fide, if the freeholders
continue firm.
Sept. 26. They write from Hamburgh that two
thousand Danish troops have just been quartered in
that city.
It is the intention of government to put a speedy
and effectual restraint upon our shipwrights, &c.
from entering into any foreign service without a
special licence.
Several frigates were sent out last week to
watch the motions of the Dutch fifhermen, who
have for many years invaded our coast.
Sept. 27. A correspondent observes, that as
General Gage intends to fubjed the Americans to
the pains and penalties of high treason for diso
beying his proclamation; they, on the other hand,
seem resolved to bring him to a trial for treason
against the constitution.
At Peterfburgh was lately seized an imprefTon
of a book, entitled, “ Annals of the Ruffian Em*
pire, from the accession of Peter the Third."
Sept. 28. The late peace between Russia and
the Porte, it is believed, may, in a great measure,
be attributed to the difeovery of some very extra
ordinary designs formed by the court of Vienna in
concert with that of Berlin.
The diftradions in the French councils, and
the heats and disagreements so prevalent among
the Cabinet Ministers, are too inveterate to be
removed. This, it is believed, chiefly proceeds
from the secret jealousies fulfilling between the
Duc de Choifeul and the Count de Maurepas.
Extrad of a Letter from Gonflantinopie, /lug. (7.
" The joy which the people exprefled at the
firft accounts of peace between Russia and the
Porte is entirely at an end, since hearing on what
disadvantageous terms for the latter that peace is
concluded. The people now daily assemble in v< ft
numbers before the door of the Divan, and the
houses of the Miaifters of State, begging that
they would not fuffer such a peace to be concluded,
but pulh the war on, let the Consequence be what
it will. This alarms the Grand Signior and his
Ministers, as they fear it mav end in a general in
furredion; in consequence ot which the guard it
the doors of the seraglio is doubled, and nobody
admitted to the audience of the Grand Signior,
but the Chevalier de St. Priest, the French am
bassador. Every one is impatient to fee bow these
affairs will end; for the Dn?i is for peace, but
the people outrageously against it.
“ The standard of Mahomet is expelled here
to-morrow from Adrianople; at which place there
has been a dreadful fire lately, which has con
sumed 70Q houses."
