The 7th of March from Lifan, is the
latest Date of any European Intelligence
received. The Accounts mention nothing
< of the Trial of the Queen of France, nei
ther had the French declared War against
Portugal; so that it is probable that Coun
try will remain neuter during the present
[ Contest, and therefore its Ports will be 0
pen to receive American Produce.

ON Thursday, the nth Inst. a Cow,
belonging to Mr. Benj.Whitte
more, of Salary, had a Calf of the most
remarkable Kind taken from her. -Its
Head and Neck were like a common Calf;
from the Brisket to the Tail it was formed
' open, as a Creature butchered, the En
trails all lying exposed to View ; the Skin
from the Rump to the Midriff turned over
the Back ; the Backbone was formed so
crooked that it brought the hind Legs up
on the Back, one of which, turning down
ward, ran through the Skin of the Flank ;
one fore Leg extended forward, and was
bent partly round the Head, the other lay
in the Belly, under the Entrails. It had a
Heart of the common Kind, but its Lights
would not more than fill a common wine
Glass. Its Joints were all formed ftiff, ex
cept the Neck and Footlocks. It was a
live when the Extraction began, but the
Operation killed it. It required an Exer
tion of the Strength of three Persons with
a Rope, and a Man with another Rope fix
ed to along Pry. One of the fore Legs
was broke offin this Operation.— —The
Cow is alive, and recovering faft.

''l am informed by a Letter from Gen

the General had wished for feme Time
past to drive the Enemy from an Island of
the Rhine, eppofite to GinJheim, he embrac
ed a favourable opportunity of attempting
that expedition, and succeeded, notwith
standing every Qppofition. The Hessians
who occupied Ginjheim endeavoured to in
terrupt our Workmen by a continued Fire
from their Artillery, but it was soon fi
lenced by the fuperiour Skill of our Can
nonneers ; our Artillery silenced also the
;Fire of the Hessian Chaffeurs, who had
jtaken Post in a Church Steeple. The En

French arm, approach nearer to the
Province of Holland.
The progress of Dumourier's army,
for the last few days, has been very
(low indeed, owing to the inundations,
and the want of flit bottomed boats.
The Dutch are arming several gum
boats to oppose the French.
Feb it. —On Saturday afternoon
dispatches were received from Lord
Aukland, which are said to be of the
utmost importance. All the mili
tary force of the States was on their
march to the frontiers ; Gen Dum
ourier had begun his operations, and'
a large party in Amsterdam had
(hewn unequivocal marks of fatis
fadion at his approach. By an ex
press received last night, Ministers
have information that some French
row boats had made their appear
ance in rarmouth Roads, and had,
captured several British vessels.— =
The number could not be atcerrain
ed, and in truth it will be impossible
to know for many days the amount
of the damage already done to our
Trade, as we can only learn from
each port the names of the ships
carried in. We trust, however,though
thus negl'gent in the outlet of their
favourite war, Ministers will take
measures to proted our commerce,
and not leave it totally a prey.

fortified places, Maeflricht, Breda,
Bregem-op-Zoom and Bois-le-Duc.
Os these Bregem-op-Zoom only is
open to the East Scheldt, and may
consequently be relieved by the sea.
To this garrison then, perhaps, our
gallant Prince, and his few brave
followers are to be sent We seem
co be anting precisely on the plan
of the American war. The enemy
is avowedly 60,000 strong, and we
are to fend 1,500 to repel him.
It is said, as a proof of the popu
larity of the war, that 1,500 recruits
were raised last week in Manchester.
Alas I is it not rather a proof that
the war has already suspended the
looms of Manchester.
