THE printer of the American Continental Journal be
llows a most handsome compliment upon the military
genius and abilities of the Earl of Cornwallis. He fays,
'' Providence has been profufe in its blessings; the greatest
General of Europe is our prisoner; a Commander, whose
judgment and penetration, whose valour and enterprise, have
been acknowledged with admiration by our own officers. The
capture of so illustrious a Chief is equal to an hundred vic
tories."
A ! ett . er from Paris fays, the French are actually employed
in bringing to maturity a plan of commerce, by which they
expeft greatly to enrich themselves, and at the fame time as
greatly to distress the Englilh East-India Company. This plan
is to fettle a trade with the provinces of the Turkish Empire
in Asia, and with Persia, under the auspices and protection of
Government. The factories are to be firft confined to Bagdad
and Perlia, whence goods can be sent to India at a much
cheaper rate than by the Cape of Good Hope. The mer
chandize being carried over land from Aleppo to Baffora, the
Persian merchants, who resort to this last city, will spread
them all over India. The French fay, that by means of this
trade they shall be able to deprive their rivals, the Englilh, of
the immense profits they make, by flipplying the interior parts
of Persia, and the coasts of the Persian Guiph, with all forts
of goods, which they purchase from all nations in order to
supply the Persians. It is'faid, that the plan has already been
so far drawn up, that the great outlines of it have been laid
before the King of France, who has already to far approved
of it, that he has promised to grant the adventurers an ex
chifive charter ; and it has already been determined to begin
with a small capital of five millions of livres, which capital is
to be raised by felling as many shares as will at 3000 livres each
share make up the sum of 5,000,000.
The brave Sir Samuel Hood, whose modefly keeps pace with
his merit, in his account of the capture of St. Euftatia, fays,
that he supposes the Commanding Officer can account for the
IoG of tile place; but the officers of the Hytena, just arrived
from the Weft-Indies, speak in very different terms, declaring
it that is much doubted if he will expose himfelf to the resent
ment of his country.
Admiralty-Office, January 12, 1782.
Extract of a letter from Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Hood, to
Mr. Stephens, dated Barbadbes, the 10th December, 1781,
received b, Ca^t. Montgomery, of his Majefy's Jloop the Ran
ger, who left Barbadoes, tbe lAb ult. and arrived at Spitbead
the gtb infant.,.
1 SAILED from off Sandy-Hook, on the 11th of last month,
with his Ma'efty's fbips under my command*. And having
previously dispatched the Nymphe and Beiliqueux to recon
noitre the Chefapeak, the latter joined me at my given ren
dezvous 011 the 16th, and informed me, that not a French
ship was in the Chefapegk on the 10th. I immediately pushed
away for my Ration, not caring to wait a moment for the
Nymphe; and, without meeting with any occurrence in my
passage, deserving notice, I arrived here on the sth, with all
the 1 ne of battle ships, except the Royal Oak and Monarch,
which parted © mpany in a gale of wind and thick weather
on the 17th.
* Seventeen fail of the line,, two frigates and one sire-ship.
N. B. It appears by another letter, that the Monarch ar
rived the 12th; and Capt. Montgomery relates, that the
Royal Oak had arrived also before he left Barbadoes.
Copy of ^ letter from Capt. Cooper, Commander of bis Na
je/WsJbip Stag, to Mr. Steph ns, dated Dublin, sth inti.
I BEG leave to inform you, that I received intelligence from
the Secretary of the Poll-Office, dated theist instant, of a
cutter privateer having been in this channel and captured some
vettels ; therefore, as soon as the weather would permit, which
was not till the next day, I went in pursuit of her, and was
fortunate enough in falling in with her on the 4th. and, after
a three hours chace, took her. She proves to be the Anti-
Briton, of 22 fix-pounders, and 104 men, commanded by
John Kelly, the man that took the Hope cutter last August.
I have great pleasure in taking this ciitter, as (he is quite iiew,°
and has done a great deal of mifchief in thischannel.
Dublin, (Ireland) January 6. As the Popery laws will
speedily be thoroughly revised, if is much to be regretted, that
the legislature do not think of qualifying Roman Catholicks to
serve in the army, and to give commissions to such gentlemen
of that persuasion who would offer to purchase, and express a
desire of serving in their native rather than in a foreign "coun
try. The political Emperor of Germany never alks the gen
tlemen of Ireland, who are in his service, what religion they
are of. Were the Roman Catholicks of this kingdom fiiffered
to enlist and incorporate themselves in our regiments, under
the toleration of profeffing their religion, an army of many
thousand men might immediately be raised, and many brave
officers be prevented from fighting againfl us under the ban
ners of our natural enemies.
Extract of a letter from Leghorn, December 7.
“ They write from Milan, that all the ecclesiastical estates
are to be fold there by audion, and appropriated to the neces
sities of the State, except what will be assigned out of the
produce for pensions to the late possessors. The new ordinan
ces of the Emperor, refpeding ecclesiastical affairs, occasion
congregations upon congregations to be held at Rome; but
nothing transpires about the matter."
Exti act of a letter from Edinburgh, January 14.
“ By a gentleman just arrived from Tobago, we learn that
a very refpedable merchant there, after the surrender, having
communicated to Mons. Bouille his intention ofvifiting some of
tlic adjacent French islands, was immediately presented with
a passport for a certain time, addrefled to all vessels, belon^-
"^ '^ France, Spain, and Holland. Upon asking tbe reason
why America was not added, his Excellency replied, “ Excuse
me, Sir, no gentleman will pledge himfelf for the honour of
America.

66 I have received the letter you was pleased to write me the
nth of August, enclosing the copy of a resolution of the Worihip
ful the Mayor and Chamber of Exeter, of the fame date pre
senting me with the freedom ofthat ancient city, an honour of
a very high and distinguishing nature, and of which I am ex
ceedingly bubble and proud; though I am confeious I have
nothing to boast, but that of being fortunate in the opportuni
ties I have had of Shewing my inclination to do my duty against
the enemies of my King and Country; but when so considera
ble and refpedable a body as the Mayor and Chamber ofExe
ter 13 pleased to accept the well-meant endeavours for real ser
vices, it must stimulate every officer to the iitmoft exertion of
his abilities ; and I entreat you to assure the Mayor and Cham
ber, that mine shall never be wanting on any future occasion
that may offer ; and that I feel, as I ought, the high mark of
attention and favour I have been honoured with, by~having my
name enrolled amongst the worthy freemen of the ancient and
refpedable city of Exeter. I must beg of you, Sir, to accent
my unfeigned acknowledgments, for your very polite and ob
liging manner in which you have conveyed a resolution so very
honourable to me. lam Sir, your most obedient, and most;
humble servant, SAMUEL HOOD."
To Henry Ley, Efa; Town-Clerk cf Exeter.
By authentick accounts from Paris, by way of Oftend, we
are assured that Dr. Franklin had, in the month of November
last, laid before the French ministry the outlines of anew treaty
of alliance between France and Congress, and that it had been
revised, altered, and signed, on the part of the French King,
the middle of this month; by which it is said the Americans,
provided they are assisted by their allies to dispossess Great-
Britain of her Colonies, agree to give up Canada, Long-Bland,
Maryland, and. North -Carolina, to France; a circumstance
pot likely to leave the Americans any propped of becoming an
independent people. °
In case Great-Britain should withdraw her troops from her
rebellious colonies, the ratification of the above alliance must
prove, in all human probability, a fatal stroke to their liberties;
for a hireling army, once victorious, perceiving the people who
invited them to their assistance. unequal to the talk of defend
ing their property, will set up for themselves, and become their,
masters ; as did our own ancestors, the Saxons, who solicited by
the ancient Britons to assist them in rep^ding the invasions of
the Scots and Pitts, remained in this island, and became Lords
of the kingdom they came to protest.
Yesterday a great number of the nobility dined with Lord
Cornwallis at Lambeth Palace.
Lord Cornwallis, in pis way to town, was complimented by
the Mayor and Corporation of Exeter with the freedom of
that city; and so overjoyed were the people at his arrival
there, that he was carried from the London-inn to the Guild
hall on men's Shoulders, accompanied with an incredible num
ber of fpe&ators, whose acclamations upon the occasion can bev
better conceived than described.
In order the better to difeever the fliips passing the Downs,
an observation house is erecting at the South-Foreland, to give
the earliest notice, by signal, of such strange fail as appear, in.
their way up the narrow channel.
Extra# of a letter from Lisbon, January 6.
" A rupture between one of the Barbary States and thig
Courtis feared to be at no great diftanee, on account of a de
mand madeby the Portugueze Ambassador at Fez, to release a
Blip from Alexandria, taken and carried into one of the Em
peror's ports, which was refuted. Her Most Faithful Majeft,
has accordingly ordered for the Mediterranean, a squadron to
proted her trade against those rovers, which consists of the:
following vessels: El Madre Dios of 56 guns, El Lorenzo 50
El San Magdalane 48, San Gifcavio 36, San Cecilia 28, and
La Madona 24, of which Don Gabriel Com. D'Alganar has
the command. Two Dutch fhipe of the line and a frigate, with
30 fail of merchantmen of that nation, are now in the Tagus,
where they have been Weather-bound for a month past. A
Ruffian squadron is daily expeded, for the victualling of which
the Consul of that nation is now providing necessaries."

“ Arrived the Liberty privateer, belonging to Glasgow, and
has brought in with ter a French transport, one of the fleet:
from Brest for the Weft Indies."
Extra# of a letter from Amsterdam, January 16.
" It is now said, that the Due de Vauguyon, the French
and fired a shot to bring her to, upon which she struck, and
proved to be Le Hardie privateer, of twelve guns, and sixty
three men, Raymond Blondel master, and was zoine on a
cruize off Cape Cltar." 6
Vienna, ( Auflria) January 2. Since his Imperial Majesty
hath tolerated the free exercise of religion in Bohemia and other
parts of his States, a number of fubjeds, who were believed
to be of a different persuasion, have declared themselves pro

e January^ 3. The last letters from Constantinople make men
tion of an infurredtion, in which the minister of our august so
vereign had run the greatest hazard, and was obliged to seek
an asylum in the palace of the French Ambassador. The fame
letters add, that on the confines of Walachia there had been
great disturbances with the Imperialists; that they were great
ly discontented in the Ottoman empire; and that a formal
rupture was forefeen between Austria and Turky, and even
with Russia.
Paris, (France) January 12. We have accounts from Brest
that M. de la Mothe Piquet's ship will be ready for sea in a
fortnight, and several others will have their damages repaired
by that time, and if one or two ihips should be unfit for service
they will be replaced by Le Prote&eur, which isjuft come out
of dock at Brest, and Le Puissant from L'Orient, so that in
about fix weeks M. de Guichen will have as good a fleet ready
for sea as that which the ftortn damaged; but it will not be so
with the transports, as it will be a difficult matter to assemble
loa , d them so soon ; thus the intended expedition is at least
deferred, if not entirely flopped. We do not yet exadly know
our loss ; about two thirds of the transports are miffing, and
we reckon that, besides those which funk, the English have:
taken near 25.
