From SATURDAY, July 14, -
As to the trade between England and Holland, the Dutch
will be much greater fuffeters than we are by the war. They
had from us two essential requisites, corn arid coals, two com
modities that cannot be smuggled; and we had from them pep
per, and all . forts of India goods which can be, and indeed
most of which were fmpggled—not to mention other goods ;
in which articles alone, our merchants will.have the balance
in point of profit, however the Crown may apparently lose the
duty. * ;• • .
The Queen of France is at lad likely to do justice to the cha
racter of her amiable consort, her Majesty having been lately
announced to be five months advanced in her pregnancy. ,t
April 21. The Commander in Chief having represented to*
his Majesty that the Isle of Man, if put into a proper state of
defence, would be a most convenient and fife rendezvous for
privateers and small ships of war that cruize in the Irish seas;
his Majesty, in consequence thereof, has. given orders that
this island be immediately fortified, and rendered -fit to receive
and protest the Several ships Of warcruifing in those parts.
The following extract of a letter dated Vienna, April 12,
is a proof that Popery is in a declining state ; and that the
Roman Catholic powers arc daily plucking a jewel out of the
Triple Crown..
“ Our Sovereign seems disposed to follow the proper line,
which enlightened Europe has traced between the civil and
ecclesiastic power, and which no doubt will not meet with the
approbation of the court of Rome.
“ His Imperial Majesty has issued out two ordinances, the
firft dated March 24, ftri&ly forbidding all religious orders
within his dominions keeping up any correspondence in Spi
ritual and temporal matters uith their chiefs, when residing
in any foreign parts ; ordering that they shall be governed
Solely by their provincial Superiors, Subject to the authority
of archbifhopfo bishops, and even the temporal governours of
provinces.
“ The second ordinance bears date March 26, and enacts,
that no bull, brief, &c. issued out by the Apofrolic See, shall
be of any force within the dominions of his Imperial Majesty,
unless they have received the Region exequatur: —imperial
Sanction."
Berlin, (Capital of Pruffta) March 20. The new regulati
ons which have lately taken place in regard to the coffee-duty,
daily meet with frefh and alarming obstacles. Some inhabi
tants of a village, within fix miles of this capital, have,openly
revolted, and forcibly drove away the King's collectors. A
detachment of Hussars having been sent to quell the mutiny,
Several of the ring-leaders have been apprehended; the con
sequence nevertheless is, that a great number of the inhabi
tants have left their homes, and fought for an asylum in Saxony.
Copenhagen, (Denmark) March 31. The camp to be pitched
in our neighbourhood, and which is to continue for three
weeks, will consist of four regiments of horse, theist regi
ment of Hussars; and fix regiments of infantry. The artillery
companies are to be trained in the isle of Amack. Our fleet
is not yet in any great forwardness^ it will be composed of
ten fllips of the line, and an equal number of frigates. A
Spaiiifh ship, laden with warlike Shores, and bound for Am
ftefdafn, was lately captured near Arendal, by an Englifli
privateer.
Amferadm, (Holland) April ii b Vice-Admiral Hartfink,
who is to have the command of our fleet, set out from this

on board the ship the Admiral General: he is accompanied
by Capt. Kinfbergen, Secretary Reygerfmen, arid several other
officers.
T 'HOUGH a cloud at present hangs over out affairs in India,
vet it,will be like an April cloud, which covers the fun
only for a moment, and then flies away, making the intercept
ed light dart upon us with redoubled leftre. The force alrea
dy in India will, when collected, and supported by. the troops
of the Nabob of Arcot, bb able to repel the invader IJyder
Ally. At wotft, the Company ca, wagea defensive war, till
the trpops now at sea under Commodore Johnftone, shall ena
ble tile Company to act offenfively ; and there is not a doubt
but Hyder Ally must then decamp frouh Arcot, if he should
not be driven out of it before, bj the forces under Sir Eyre
Coote,
London, April 23. We hear that an enormous packet of
letters, the correspondence of various merchants of London,
Liverpool and Ireland, with the enemy at St. Euftatius, were
brought over by the Venus, and depbfited yesterday at the
Admiralty for minute examination ; from which some impor
tant difeoveries in the traiterotis line are expected.
By the most recent, and as we suppose exaCt lift of the
French navy, published in the Brussels Gazette of the 16th itift.
it appears that the number of their ships of war, executive
of frigates, &c. is 78 fliips, from 116 to 50 guns each ; vizi
in the French harbours, 29 ; amongst which, there is one of
116; four of 110; one of 90; one of 80; twelve of 74; one
of 70; fix of 64; one of 56; and two of 50 guns.
On the several Stations in the Weft-Indies, 9; viz. three of
74; five of 64; and one of 50.
At Rhode-Inland, eight; viz. one of 80; one of 74; and
fix of 64.
In the East-Indies, fix; viz.t wo of 74; three of 64 ; and
one of 50.
Under Monsieur de Graffe, twenty-fix; viz. one of 104 ;
three of 80; eighteen of 74; and four of 64 guns.
April 24. The following is an authentic state of the Dutch
Settlements lately Surrendered to Sir George-Brydges Rod
ney, &c. &c.
“ Demerary and Essequf.be are two Dutch colonies, on
rivers of those names, on the Continent in the new world, a
bout thirty leagues to the westward of Surinam, and twenty
five from the principal mouth of the great Oronoko river:
they are no Small part of the valuable Dutch Settlements there,
which are divided from the French Guiana, by the river Mo
razoni, and from Spanish Guiana, by that of Poumarin.—The
foundation of these colonies was firft laid by the French in 1640;
but they soon after abandoned them to the English, whole dili
gence in the cultivation thereof was attended with considerable
success, till they were attacked by the Dutch in 1667, who
finding the Britiih pofleffors dispersed overavad tract of land,
had but little difficulty in Subduing them. Some years after,

The Ruffians and Turks are on both tides endeavouring to
strengthen their frontiers as much as pohible; and though at
present they behave with exceflive civility to each other, it
seems to referable greatly the compliments of men on the point
of engaging in a duel.
From Corkc we are informed, that within the last five
months, no less than 28,533 head of black cattle have been
killed there for exportation.
April 25, By authentic private intelligence from Holland,
we are informed that differences of a very serious nature have
arisen between the troops in the pay of Holland, known by
the name of the Scotch Hollanders, and the supreme power of
the United States; the latter having refoived on drafting them
to the different settlements in the East and Weft-Indies belongs
ing to the States, as the most expedient and provident mea^
sure, in case of any internal commotion or invafiori.
The following gentlemen, it is said, will be advanced to the
peerage as soon as the Parliament riles.

Lord Southampton, it is reported, will be fliortly created
an Earl.—The Dukedoms cf Cleveland and Southampton be
came extinct on the death of the late Duke, about five years
since ; but for some informality, or flaw in the original crea
tion, they would have devolved upon the present Duke of
Grafton—it is therefore believed, that his Majerty is deter
mined to renew those titles, in a younger branch of the family,
the present Lord Southampton, being liis Grace's next bro
ther.
April 26. From the firft it was generally imagined that the
Spaniards were neitbet serious in their attack on Gibraltar,
nor in their intentions th prevent our relieving that fortrefs.
They, like the Dutch, are waiting and panting for a peace,
because in war they must be losers. But France, insidious
France ! keeps alive the hostile flame, to gratify the filly pride
of an idiot King, and to feed the botindlefs ambition of a wan
ton Queen!
A gentleman from Paris fays, " The King has issued his
private letter to the principal Ecclesiastics, requiring an imme
diate loan of 150,000!. sterling. The church is very rich, im
mensely so, and can well spare the money. The King expefts
no hesitation."
They write front Belfaft, that a French man of war, suppo
sed to be of 74 guns, had lately foundered in a hard gale of
wind off Cape Clear, and all the crew perished.
GEORGE R.
An ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTION to all ships of car
and privateers, that have or may have letters of marque
against the French King, the King of Spain, or the States
(L: S.) General of the United Provinces, their vassals orfabjech,
or others inhabiting within any of their countries, territo
ries or dominions, or against any other enemies or rebellious
fubjells of the Crown of Great-Britain. Given at our
Court at St. fames's, the twentieth day of April, 1781,
in the twenty foflyear of our reign.
WHEREAS we have ever been defifous to prevent interrup
tion being given to the trade and commerce of every state in
amity with us, as far as was compatible with the necessary o
perations of war ; and whereas it will tend very much to that
purpose that the trade and navigation of the Baltic should re
main uninterrupted ; we have therefore been pleased to resolve,
that so long as the trade of our fubjeds fliall continue to be se
cured in those seas, our ships of war, privateers, and other
vessels acting under our commission, shall be restrained from
making prize of, flopping, or detaining any ship or vessel with
in the Baltic : and we do hereby ftri&ly charge and enjoin the
Commanders of our ships of war, and the Commanders of all
ships and vessels having letters of marque and reprizal, that
they do not, by virtue of their commissions, or under colour
thereof, stop or detain any ship or vessel in the Baltic, for the
purpose of making prize of the fame, but that they fuffer all
such ships and vessels as they shall meet in those seas to pro
ceed in their refpe&ive voyages, without any interruption.
By his Majesty's command,
STORMONT.
the English, to the number of twelve hundred, were trans
ported to Jamaica, and the colony was formally ceded by
treaty to the Republic of Holland. The Dutch inftantl,
set about the cultivation of it with uncommon resolution.
The greatest part of the lands which were to be thus culti
vated, were covered with Salt water every tide, to the depth
of four or five feet : by making a great number of ditches arid
sluices, they Succeeded in draining them ; and thus the glory
of Setting bounds to the ocean, was acquired by the Dutch iri
the new world, as it has been before in the old. In afew years
they formed upon the banks of the sea 425 plantations, upon
which, in 1762; were 85,500 blacks, and 4000 white men as
ov^rfeers.
" About the year 1738, they formed the Settlement of Berbice;
and five years after those of Demerary and Ellequcbe, the two
last of which are found by far the inoft profitable, so much so
that they are soon expelled to rival the principal colony of
Surinam ; though, in 1777, they reckoned but 12,000 free per
sons at the head of about 36,000 slaves. These valuable Set
tlements produce cotton, cocoa, and Sugar; but the latter is
not planted so much of late, the land being thought too mar
shy for the due cultivation of the carie§. These commodities
they generally bartered with the English colonies in America.
The entrance of the Demerary, which has from twenty to
twenty-four fathom of water, and 16 for four leagues up, is
totally defencelefs The out-let of the Effeqube, which is
three leagues in breadth, is filled with small islands and Fal
lows, but all along the course of the river are found channels
deep enough to convey the largest ships up to an island ten
leagues diflant, defended only by one mifcrable redoubt. The
houses in that colony are in general pretty and convenient,
though only built of wood, upon a foundation of European
bricks.".
