rogueries at Pensacola just before that plase fell, has been taken up
on lufpicion this morning, and sent to the Sugar-House. There is

tempted to make his escape, but was retaken ; he is lame of a leg,
tall and thin. If any person has fuffcred by one of this description,

On the 4th instant at night the Revenge, Company's frigate,

ber, 1781, which contain the agreeable news of Hyder Ally
having been driven into his own territories; and of the Dutch
settlement of Negapatham, their principal one on the coast of
Coromandel, having surrendered to the Company's arms.
London, April 15. It is said the new Ministry are in high
spirits since the arrival of his Grace the Duke of Leinfter from
Ireland ; all differences between us and the filter kingdom are
now in a fair way of being accommodated to the fatisfa<ftion of
both nations, and through the immediate interposition of that
patriotick nobleman.
Sir Hugh Pallifer has not resigned the Governorship of Green
wich Hospital, as has been reported.
An Evening paper of Saturday fays, we have undoubted au
thority to fay, that Mr. Laurens, Mr. Adams, Mr. Franklin,
Mr. Jay, and another Gentleman, from the Congress, are.
now in town, and negotiating with the present Ministers for a
peace between America and this country. We do not at pre
sent learn the basis of this treaty, nor the terms on which the
long wished for reconciliation is to be effected.
Last Saturday's Gazette contains his Majesty's commands,
that all officers belonging either to regiments in N. America
or the Weft-Indies, do immediately repair to their refpe&ive
corps.
Amsterdam, (Holland) April 10. On Monday last, the Bth
inst. the merchant fleet, deftiued for the Welt-Indies, failed
from the Texel, under the escort of fix frigates of war, viz.
one of 40 guns, three of 36, and two of 24 guns, &c.
EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE,
LONDO N, April 5.
WEDNESDAY Admiral Sir John Lockhart Refs had
his commiflion delivered to him from the Admi
ralty, as Commander ofthe fleet defined to cruize
in the North Seas.
By advices from Cron ftadt, information is received, that the
Ruffian fleet at that port, which confifki of 14 fa I of the line,
and five frigates, were to put to lea the middle of April ; they
were preparing four other faips; which would be ready for sea
in June.
Private letters by the last mail from Holland ad+ife, that the
failing of the squadron from the Texel is further delayed to
the last week in April. The ih ps of which it is composed are
all ready.
They write from Brunels, that a camp of 50,000 men is to
be formed early in the spring in the Austrian Netherlands, by
order of his Imperial Majcfl'ft.
The City, it is said, have an intention to present his Majes
ty witha ninety gun (hip, completely rigged-ahd manned.
April ii. Lord Howe had official notice given him'yefeer
day, that he was to be created a British Peer.
Some accounts from Holland declare, that the Empress in
lifts that the States (hall not only make peace with Cheat-Bri
tain, but enter into an offenfive and defenfive alliance.
The last express which arrived in Holland from Peterfburgh,
has greatly disconcerted the measures of their High Mighri
neffes. The language ofthe Empress was tod decilive to admit
of equivocation, or an ad. referendum procrastination ; therefore
they thought it most politic to accept of her proposals for.
peace, and have accordingly agreed to a negotiation with
Great-Britain..
The equipment of the Dutch fleet goes forward so faft, that
they give out at Amsterdam, they fli@l have 22 fail of the line
ready for service by the middle of May.
The Downs fleet will be greatly reinforced before it fails;
and will consist of fix fail of the line more than was originally
intended; as the last mail from Holland describes the force
the enemy is collecting, to be much fupcrior to what it was
expected to be a few months ago.
The King of Pruflia is no longer fit for business ; the fire
of that genius is nearly extinguished, wlrich, during the last
war, gained him fucli immortal honour. There is, therefore,
nothing now to fear from his politics, his heroifin, or his
thirst for military reputation. His great name that lately awed
the mi'itary ardour ofthe Emperor, is hourly 16fing its influence,
and raurt leave that illustrious Prince at liberty, to check the
ambitious career of the haughty House of Bourbon. There
are many private letters fn>m Vienna, which pofitivcly de
clare, that it is the Emperor's intention, either to have the
honour of making a firm, a lasting and a general peace, or to
take the field against the French, and turn the tide of the war
into a new channel.
Loid North Was on Tuesday in the House of Commons,
and took possession of the feat lately occupied by Mr. Thomas
Townfhend, on the oppofirion fide of the House. His Lord
ihip appeared to be in very good spirits, and was treated with™
every mark of refpe&, by gentlemen of all descriptions in the
House. Mr. Burke, Sir George Saville, his Lordship, and
Mr. Fox, were in conversation with each other, and appeared
all to be in a very good humour, laughing occasionally very
heartily.
Extra* of a letter from Portsmouth, April rd.
" Admiral Barrington having made a lignal from the Bri
tannia, the (hips at Spithead are all unmoored, and the mer
chantmen in Solcbay are getting up their anchors. The men
of war are nineteen fail of the line, five frigates, two fireships,
and two carters."
St. James's, April 13. The following intelligence was this
day received from Buffora.
Biffira, fanruary 26, 1782.
THE Governour of Bombay, under date- of the 28th of
October, confirms the victory gained by General Coote over
Hyder Ally, of theist of July; At that time Sir Eyre's army
did not exceed 1500 Europeans, and 7000 Seapoys, but was
afterwards joined by above 5000 men from Bengal, and was
to march towards Arcot on the 14th of August.
The Dutch settlements of Sadras, Pulicar, and Bimlipatam,
with some other places to the northward of Madras, and Chiu
fura in Bengal, were in the possession of the English. The
Dutch Company's property was given to the captors, but the
private property was preferred to the. owners.
February 2, 1782.
By letters from the Governour of Bombay, of the 15th of
November, it appears, that General Coote had again defeated
Hyder Ally in two several engagements, on the 27th of August
and 27th of September, and had advanced very near Arcot.

, Hague, (HoUand) April io. It is said, that the answer given
by their High Mightinesses to the last memorial of the Duke
de la Vauguyon is very fatisfatlory for France. It contains in
substance, “ That as soon as measures are taken to aft in con
cert against the common enemy, their High Mightinesses will
not deviate in any manner, nor fuffer themselves to be diverted,
by any whomsoever, any way from the plan concerted, with
out mutual consent."

information, that the outward bound Eaft-Indiamen, which

The mips of war, being mostly of the line, would give Sir
Edward Hughes such a decided superiority over the French
fleet, as must keep the enemy on the defensive only, while he
would have it in his power to attempt whatever he thought
proper. °
