Great encouragement is giyen'at ail the Spariifli

L O N D O N, April 23.
A letter from Gibraltar, dated March 28, fays,
“ A Moorish Admiral, with three ships, has made
his appearance in the Mediterranean. The report is,
the Emperor is going to join the Algerines against
Spain. The Serpent cutter, just arrived, precedes
Commodore Lindlay, who is hourly expedited."
May 12. The emperor has bellowed a very dif
tinguifning mark of his favour on the prince de Kau
nitz. Some days since that prince entered into his
74th yea: ; the emperpr having heard that he was to
beat the menagerie that day, came himfelf before 7
in the morning, and gave orders that he should be
told when the prince made his appearance. This or
der being executed, the emperor met him at the
gates, and received him in these words, so unlike
the.language of kings : “ Happy be the day on which
“ the prince of Kaunitz was born." The prince sur
prised, and sensibly alleged with this kindness of his
Sovereign, was not able to utter a word, but tears of
joy flbwed from his eyes. The emperor added, " I
know, my dear Kaunitz, you entertain your friends
to day. I reckon myfelf one of the number, and I
shall be pun&ual in waiting upon you."
Mr. le comte de Peyroufe, who is intended for
the captain Cook of France, is daily closeted with
the French king, receiving his inftrudions. He is
on the point of departing for Rcchfort, in order to
hasten the preparations for his voyage. He will set
fail soon; and after having made a Ihort stay at Bue
nos-Ayres, he will take an opportunity of the favour
able season to fail for Cape-Horn. It is agreed that
his voyage flhall last at least five years, and that he
shall winter in the Sandwich-IHands, for the purposes
of refitting, giving time, and visiting at his leisure
the ports, bays and coasts, of which captain Cock
has made no mention, or a very flight one.
May 14, According to authentick letters from
Spain, his Catholick Majesty has consented to the
re-establishment of the Manilla company, which was
suppressed on account of the irregularities of the di
ie&ors, one of whom Bed to Holland for refuge, and
lately died there, after a residence of twenty-four
years. This new Manilla company will be under the
immediate direction of the Prince of Asturias, heir
apparent to the crown of Spain, and the flock will
be deposited with government, for the purpose of pre
venting any fraudulent proceedings. The trade of the
company will extend from Spain to the Phillipine isles,
and from the island of Manilla to India and South-
America. The execution of this project will open
an immense source of commerce between the old and
new world, and produce innumerable advantages to
the Spaniards, who are extremely jealous of admit
ting other nations to a participation in the advantages
of this enterprize.
It is every man's opinion that the Maid Tax will be

camp will consist of five Lieutenant Generals, and ten

B E R L I N, April 9.
Last month a new Rar was difeovered at Lemberg,
larger and more brilliant than any other; it seemed
to change its form, appearing sometimes round, and
at others oval, some people imagine it to be the fame
fear which was seen in Austria in January, and which
was laid to be larger than the planet Venus.

May 17. Last night there W^ a meeting of the ge
neral chamber of manufacturers, to confider of the
very material change which has taken place in the
Irilh resolutions, and to determine what steps they
should take in the business. They agreed, as the firft
movement, to inform the manufacturing communities
with whom they are connected, of the alterations and
additions which Mr. Pitt has proposed, and which
involved so much.new and unexpected matter, as to
make further time indispensably necefl'ary to the for
mation of a proper judgment of the system as it now
stands. At the fame time they agreed to adjourn on
lyto Tuesday next, in order then to confider what
further application it may be advifeable to make to
Parliament to gain delay till the country should be
apprized of the new case.
; Early in next week, we hear, Mr. Pitt will bring
Iforward a regulation of the tobacco trade, which, we
are informed, is intended to be secured in some pub
lick buildings in the Tower, till the duties shall be
paid, and that Tower Wharf will be the only quay
for landing the fame; it being found by experience,
that the revenue has been much injured by bringing
it to different places, and afterwards fending it to a
number of ware-houles.
A letter from Toulon fays, that they are more
busy than ever in the dock-yards, in getting ready 6
ships of the line,, which are to serve as = convoys to the
merchant ships; two are to take under their care the
ships from Marfeißes; 2 more are to convoy from
Toulon inch merchant Blips aS are bound to any part
of the Mediterranean; and two others are to take
under their convoy luch ships as are bound from Brest
to any port in the Mediterranean. These ships were
ordered, on a complaint made by the merchants, of
trade being flopped in the Mediterranean, by the
great number of Barbary corsairs that are daily cruis
ing there.
They write from Lisbon, that the Americans, with
the concurrence of the Court, are going to establish
a factory at that place on the plan of the English fac
tory, which is much on the decline; the Portuguese

since, particularly during the late reign.
June 8. Among the various personages who drew
the attention of the drawing-room on Saturday last,
Mr. Adams, Minister Plenipotentiary from the States
of America, was not the least noticed ; from this gen
tleman the eye of majesty and the court glanced on
Lord N-—th, to whole united labours this country
stands indebted for the loss of a large territory, and a
divided and interrupted commerce.
The tranquillity of the continent is not yet fettled.
Every mail has, for some time past, brought contra
dictory accounts. It is, however, true, that the na
vigation of tne Scheldt has been agreed upon ; that is,
that the Emperor shall have liberty for ships carrying
his own flag (not the veflels of any other power) and
ofa certain number of tons, or burthen, to go up

Extract of a letter from Naples, April 23. '
" His Catholick majesty having resolved to resume
the siege of Algiers this year, is willing also to em
ploy in this difficult enterprise the naval force of the
king of Naples, his son. The courage and skill
which the Neapolitan officers demonstrated last year
in the fruitlefs attack of that nest of pirates, have
obtained the marine of the king of Naples the honour
to be called out a second time to co-operate in chas
tising th'ofe pirates effectually. And as the fleet of
the queen of Portugal is to join the combined fleets
of Spain and Naples, it is scarcely doubted but those
pirates will be at length obliged to refpe& the flag
of the European powers."
May 21. The intelligent and enterprising Blanch
,ard on Saturday made another voyage from the
ground which he has taken and entitled the Aerofa
tic Academy, at South Lambeth. Immense crouds
of the best company were in the fields to witness his
afeenfion: but being so ill-advised as to make the
price of admission so high as half a guinea, and a
crown, but few in comparison of the numbers in the
fields, entered the Academy. The globe was found
to have an aperture near the top, which diminished
its capacity and prevented colonel Thornton from
accompanying the piofeffor agreeable to his intention.
His weight, which is pure English, was too much
for the balloon, on his dfappointment, the elder Mils
Simonet begged to have the honour of a flight, and
flie with the profmToi was launched into the upper
region^ of the at^ sphere, They did not rife high,
nor make a long voyage. they came down at Dept
ford, and were re-conducted in great triumphal pro
cession to the neroftatic Apsdemy.

1 NSCRIPTI ON.
In the Name of God.
Charles Lewis D'arsac de Ternay,
Knight of the order of St. John of Jerufalcin,
Though the vows of the order he had never
acknowledged,
Descended from an ancieht and noble family,
of Bretagne,
One of the Admirals of the King's Fleets,
A Citizen, a Soldier, a Chief,
Serviceably faithful to his King and to his
Country, for 42 years,
Now rests beneath this marble!
, Happily resolute,
In the years 1760 and 1761, after the Croia
fian battle,
With painful difficulty, amidst the weapons
of enemies,
He rescued and brought off from dangerous
whirlpools,
The royal fleet, dispersed hear the innaviga
ble eddies of the river of Vicenza,
And gave his ships the Rations he wished,
without any damage.
In the year 1762 he invaded Newfoundland
in America.
In 1772, having resigned his command,
He received the regency of Bourbon and the
French islands adjacent.
In which office for seven years,
To the emolument of France, and the happi
ness of the colonies,
He was assiduously faithful.
Being ordered by his Mod Christian Majesty
in the year 1780, with assistance to the
United States, engaged in the de
fence of liberty, he arrived
at Rhode-lfland,
When, while he was preparing to encounter
the dangers of his command,
To the inconsolable grief of l\is fcllow-foldicrs,
To the sincere sorrow of the United States,
He expired in this city,
Regretted by all the good; but particularly
lamented by those to whom he was related,
December 15th, M.DCC.LXXX.
Aged 58.
His Most Christian Majesty, Frilly just to
merit,
