" Relief cf Gibraltar.
By yesterday Flander's mail came dispatches from Mr. Fitzherbert,
r Minier at Biuflels, with the agreeable news of Gibraltar being
' ''faed the I ith of April : Admiral Darby sent the transports, con-
Otiar of 70 fa:l, under convoy of four ihips of the line, through the
'Qi^; and remained with 25 fail of the line cruizing off the Bay of
Cadiz, 'where he blocks up the Spanish fleet under Dou Cordova ; and
it isexpe&ed when he is rejoined by the four detached fllips that he
will attack them in the Bay, which is completely blocked up, so that
othing can get out or in without falling into our hands. There is
no squadron lit Algeziras, Don Barcelo having retired from thence,
nd joined the grand fleet at Cadiz ; as had also four French fllips of
the line, making 111 all 33 ; but nine or ten of them were said to be
inbad condition, therefore Admiral Darby was more than a match
for them. The Toulon squadron, with the convoy for the East and
Weft-Indies had not passed the Straits, so that there was a chance of
their felling into our hands ; as likewise the regifeer ships from the
Havana, which were daily expe&ed.

AS I have been obliged to break up my PLANTATIONS,
I will dispose of all the LANDS I am poffefTed of at the Conga
rees. They consist of several trails lying on both sides of the river,
making in the whole, according to a late re-survey, 2910 acres; 1362
are river swamp, esteemed by good judges not inferior to any on that
river, and very valuable; about 400 of it are cleared, and under good
fences. Upon the high land, which lies on the north fide of the river,
and is in general tolerably well timbered with pine, are two fettle,
ments, and on one of them is a very comfortable dwelling-house of
three good rooms upon one floor, pleasantly situated upon a hill near
the river, which is upwards of 200 feet above the level of the land on
the opposite fide, and commands a very extensive profped. Whoever
is inclined to purchase the said lands, will be informed of the terms
by, and may treat with Col. William Thomson at the Congarees,
or, at Goofecreek, with f HENRY MIDDLETON.
THE fubferiber finding it necessary to reside conftantiy in
the country, will dispose of his HOUSE, No. 69, in Broad
ftreet, and the whole of the lotuppn whith it stands. It is a conve
nient, roomy, well finished house, rind will accommodate a large fa
mily ; the out-offices belonging to'it are also large and convenient.
The lot extends from street to street, and affords ground fufficieat so

such persons as are inclinable to purchase, and the terms will be m:w
