' d marched up to the Ihip-yard, where they burnt a new

/W ' 6. The whole fleet and army came to an anchor off
Hog Iflai'id ; some dispatches being received by General Phil

"m%^ One half the troops landed at Cabbin Point and
at Chipoch, they destroyed 100 hoglheads of tobacco ; the re
mainder of the troops proceeded by water to City Point,
where they landed.
May 12. General Phillips' died at Petersburg. General
Arnold commenced command, and on the 16th was joined
by Lord Cornwallis. „ ,
May 21. A fleet of transports with 2500 troops on board
under the command of Col. Johnson, arrived in the Bay, and
proceeded immediately up James-River to join Lord Corn
wallis, whose army, when joined by them, amounted to 6472
effective men, all in good health and high spirits, having plenty
of every thing they could with for or define.
The Corke fleet which arrived off the B^r Taft Saturday,
left that port on the 27th of March, in company with a
number of victuallers and transports for Gibraltar, under
convoy of part of the grand fleet, the main of body of which
were then cruising between Scilly and Cape Clear, where
they were joined by the victuallers and transports above
mentioned.
The Warwick, Captain Elphinftonc, and the Solebay, Cap
tain Everitt, were the convoy to the fleet for this place. E
very transport and victualler is fafely arrived.
On the 9th of April the Warwick fpokeovith a Swediffi
merchantman from the Canaries for Lilbon, the master of
which informed Capt. Elphinftone, that he had spoke with
Commodore Johnftone's squadron seven days before, all well.
. Commodore Johnftone's squadron consists of the Hero 74,
Monmouth 64, Romney 50, His 50, Leander 50, Jupiter 50,
4 frigates, 1 sloop, 2 bombs, several large armed transports,
the whole copper sheathed.—On board of the squadron, were
the seven additional companies of the Convention regiments,
the 2d battalion of the 4^d, the 97th Fullarton's, and the 100th
liumberfton's, which, with the marines, would form a body
of about five thousand troops.—Major-General Meadows, the
St. Lucia Hero, had the chief command.
The destination of this armament had given rife to many
conjectures. l —Some thought it was going against the Spa
nilh Settlements on the Western Coast of South-America,
there to act in concert with the Peruvian Revolters—others,
that Buenos Ayres was the objeCt;—but the most generally
received opinion was, that it was defined against the Dutch
Settlement at the Cape of Good Hope.
The Right Honourable the Earl of Lincoln, Major-Gene
ral Gould, Lieutenant-Colonel Stewart, Hon. Lieutenant-
Colonel Conway, Lieutenant-Colonel Morgan, Lieutenant-
Colonel Leake, Lieutenant-Colonel Grinfield, Lieutenant-Co

Mr. Robert Cooper, formerly Rector of St. Michael's, with
a number of other gentlemen, came passengers in the fleet.
Yesterday afternoon the flank companies of the regiments
lately arrived, were landed in town. Their appearance was
'truly elegant, martial and healthy.
On the passage, the Warwick took two brigs, bound from
Guadaloupe for Boston.
Extract of a Letter from London, dated March 12.
" Twelve millions were wanted for the new loan, and up
wards of forty millions fubferibed; so little ground is
there for the reports of the national credit failing.
“ The Emperor and Czarina have certainly entered into
an Alliance offenfive and defenfive, and have offered their
mediation to bring about a general peace, which our Court
has declared its readiness to accept. The Bourbons and
Mynheers must come in. The treaty is to be deliberated on
at Vienna, for which capital Sir Joseph Yorke is loon to let
out, being appointed Plenipotentiary. There is no more
mention made of the High and Mighty Thirteen States, than
of the Republick of Lucca, or the associated banditti on the
Banks of the Wolga."
Last Sunday Captain Saunders of the Queen's Rangers,
with a party of horse, furprized Snipes's gang, at the Horie
Shoe, and cut up 18 of them; it is thought some more
were killed in Snipes's Mill House, which was set on fire.—A
number of fine horses were taken, and several prisoners, among
them some who had, in consequence of great solicitation, been
admitted to the privileges of British fubjeds; they were this
afternoon brought to town, and lodged in the Provost.
