On Sunday lift arrived at Marble
head, Capt. Lafkey in a schooner, in
36 days from Bilboa. When this
vessel failed, all was quiet at Bilboa,
and they were under no apprehen
sions from the further inroads of the
French, with whom it was reported
there, the Spanish court were about
making a peace on condition of their
giving the French 20 fail of the line,
and viduallicg them during the con
tinuance of the war. —This is under
stood as ouly one of the conditions.
That petitions for. peace to the gov
ernment were, banded in from all
parts in Spain.
Capt. George Smith, from St.
Bartholomews in 14 days informs
that while he lay there, three French
privateers failed against Sc. Martins,
which surrendered and immediately
upon being (ummoned—and they
took poss flion of it in the name of

a conjerrence with the two Dutch commiffoners,
at the concluJion of which the latter jent off their
Jecretary to (he Hague, to give an account of the

answer was, " that theßri:iJhghv„m<nt ™%%
deliver up the veffilsfei^ea, & take off the embar
go; as Joon as the Dutch Jbould deliver up the En
glijhyaeffils taken by . the French in the ports of

principles, for the States General either were the
sovereigns of the United Provinces, and cbuld re

a conquered people, now making a part of France,
and their property was legal seizure."

? A dispatch, dated Embden, March

^ty^'ta gffirftym
Royal Highnth the Duke of York,
from M jor General A. Gordon.
An opportunity for England, of
fering thia moment, and of which
Lieutenant-Geneaal Harcourt cannot
avail himfelf, I have the honour co
I report for the information of your
Roval Highoefs, that the fore posts,
under the command of M^j or Gen
eral Lord Cathcart, extending from
fort Bourtange to Neico Shanks,
were attacked and drove in with some
loss, on the morning of the 27th. •,
lam informed, by his Lordship,
that he was retiring by his left, with
his whole force, conlifting of Major'
General Dundas's brigade of cavalry,
the 6ih brigade of infantry, with
some detachments of foreign light
troops, and intended re-crossing the
riv& Ems, at Rhurie and Meppun.
I also understand that the fore
posts of the left wing, were drove io
fame days before, but I have not been
able to learn any particulars.
Two days ago Robert Lewis, who arrived
.from the .British army, brought an account of
Lord Cathcart, having occupied some posts
which the French had quitted at pr near
Groningen ; but yesterday M^jor Clay ar
rived from Embden, with dispatches from
Gen. Gordon,. who commands there, dated
on the 28th ult. which state that the French
& Dutch, but particularly the letter, have
obliged Lord Cathcart on the 27th to quit
that position, which he was forced to do with
the lofsof three pieces of cannon. The loss
of men in this affair fell chiefly on the loyal
Emigrants.''"
Our troops, we learn, were obliged to quit
their position, more from the number of
Dutch patriots who assailed them, than from
the force of the French.
We have letters likewise from<jfhabufg,
of the ift inst. by which it will appear that
our troops are perfectly recovered, afre in
high health and spirits, and plentifully fug
plied with every necessary.
