^^ he ^ITINICO GAZETTE, June 14.
TH l Lift news from Londpn mention some steps
which the empress of Russia has taken to medi
ate between the belligerent powers : we may hope
that they will have some success, and the general con-,
grefs will assemble by July, in the capital of Aufiria,
(Vienna,) The sentiments of peace and moderation,
which the emperor of Germany has manife fted since
the death of his mother, have calmed the minds of
those who are pacifically inclined. As to the move
ments of the British a miralty they have loft nothing
of their activity ; on the contrary, they exhaust all
their resources to meet in all quarters the enemies of
Britain. Commodore Cooper had failed from Ports
mouth with one ship of the line, two frigates, and an
armed brig, to cruise in the channel of Ireland. Com
modere Johnftone failed the 12th of March, from St.
Helen's having under his orders the Hero, of 74 guns;
the Monmouth, of 64 ; the Romney, the Jupiter, and
the Iris, of 50 ; the A&ive, the Diana, and the Jafon,of
32 ; the Mercury, of 28 ; the Shark and Porto, of 16 ; (he
Rattlesnake of 14 ; and the Terror bomb. This squadron
was to convoy to the Ea ft-Indies 11 fliips of the company,
loaded with stores of all kinds for their establishments
on the coasts of Coromandel. It is said commodore
Johnftone had orders to convoy all the ships of the
company to their destinations, and then to join admi
ral Hughes, in an attempt on the cape of Good-Hope.
We are assured that the firft loan of a million of flo
rins, negociated by Mr. Adams, minister plenipoten
tiary from the United States of America, has been fil
led up at Amflerdam. This eagerpefs to serve the ene
mies of England, does not look as if Holland was dis
posed to ask for peace, and submit to the yoke, asthe
public papers of England would fain persuade us.
According to the last letters from St. Domingo, da
ted the 7th of May, M. de Monteil, who had been for
some time with his squadron at the Havanna, failed
from thence between the 15th and 20th of March, not
for St. Domingo as was presumed ; but to join the Spa
nifli forces on the coast of Florida. Don Juan de Gal
vez, by his activity and indefatigable perseverance,
taking with him a good part of this reinforcement,
went, without loosing a moment, to Pensacola: the
Englifll attempted in vain to throw fuccours into the
place ; Don Galvez carried it ; and we hope thisintre
pid commander will go on to make a rapid progress in
Florida; and that be will add Auguftia to the number
of his conquests.
By a vessel that left L'Orient the 6th of May, we
learn, that the king's ship, the Couronne of 80 guns,
was lately burnt at Brest. We are not informed of the
circumstances of this unhappy accident. M. de la
Mothe- Picquet had failed with fix ships of the line, and
two frigates, with orders to cruize in the channel of
Ireland, to intercept the convoys from that kingdom.
There were fill at Brest and Rochfort eighteen or
twenty ships of the line, ready to weigh anchor upon
the firft signal. And they were working with the great
est activity upon new ships of war, lately ordered on
the flocks by the minister. It is known likewise that
Holland has made the greatest efforts— 40 or 50 ships
of the line, frigates, and armed flutes, who are to go
out at the opening season, and cruize in the channel
to check the British commerce. This formidable ar
mament joined to the naval force of the house of Bour
bon gives the greatest hopes to the enemies of England:
and this haughty power cannot be without inquietude
refpeding her fleets.
A vessel that left Cadiz the 14th of May informs,
that the discourse there turned much upon an order
said to have come from the court of Madrid, for open
ing all the ports of Spain, and permitting liberty of
commerce in all the dominions of that crown, to all
vessels of allied or neutral nations. This liberty to con
tinue to the end of the prefect war.
