PHILA DE LPHI A, April 17.
MONDAY Morning last the brigantine Friendfliip, Cap
tain Hall, arrived here, after a passage of 14 days, from
Port-au-Prince. This vessel brings us advice of the arrival of
17 Spanish ships ofthe line, with 12,000 troops, at Cape Fran
cois from Cadiz. These forces are no doubt destined to ad in
conjunction with thole of his Most Christian Majesty in the at
taft on Jamaica, which, in all probability, must be subdued
by so powerful an armament.
Boflon, April 11. Saturday last arrived here, after a passage
of 9 weeks and 3 days, from Holland, the brig Firebrand,
Capt. Trowbridge—By her we have an account, —That Hol
land has entered into an alliance with France loan'd her five
millions of florins on account of the United States of America;
and that France has engaged to convoy the Dutch trade, that
toy may protea their own coasts.
The authentick accounts we have lately received ofthe con
elufion of a new treaty between France and the States of Hol
land, is very important : it destroys all idea of a Separate peace
between England and that republick. The treaty with France
has been for some time warmly demanded by the old republi
cans of Holland, and opposed with every art by the British
party. Though it has not yet come to America, we may rea
sonably suppose it contains articles highly interesting to both
the contrasting parties, lince upon the foundation of this trea
ty, which has been for some time in secret agitation, we have
a certain account that a refpedtable fleet of the line, with fri
gates and transports, having on board 22 battalions of troops,
have lately failed from Brcft for the East-Indies, under the or
ders of the Marquis de Buffy, to defend the settlements of the
Dutch and co-operate with their forces in that quarter.
Several publications in England, prove to a demonstration,
that Britain gained more advantages fir.ee the war by the neu
trality of the Dutch than any other nation, and particularly
from the trade of St. Euftatia: and confcquently that it was
madness in the Court of London to aft the part they have done
against Holland, and throw that republick ft compleatly into
the fcaie of their enemies.
Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman at Amjierdam, dated
December 21, 1781.
" The latest news with us is the alliance we have just en
tered into with France, who will lee our merchant fleets fafe
ly convoyed; that by not being obliged to divide our mari
time forces, we may always have a fipcrior one to the Engiilh
in these seas, to which the French, if needful, will add a cer
tain number. We have just lent five millions of florins to
France for America, by which you may suppose that the result
will be a speedy alliance with your Itoes."

more, and two fifties with him when he endeavoured to beat

December last, which were damaged, and sent to Martinique
for repair, and have probably joined him before this time. The
Spaniards likewise are known to have several more line of bat
tle ships at the Havana—l 2 having arrived there with Don So
bnr from Europe in 1780, besides ten or twelve that were then
1% ing in the harbour.
