Mad^d, d'baf) j^nra^ 4. The flight of the 19th nlt. two
flips of about goo tons burthen, under favour of a weft wind,
entered the port of Gibraltar. It is not doubted that they
were laden with provision and ammunition, of which the gar
rison was in much need. From the care which the English take
of dispatching several ships thi|s burthened to this nlace, it is
evident that they have no in+en'ion of tending any squadron
for the purpose of vi&ualFng Gibraltar.
Paris, January 2T. It seems certain, that bv a treaty newly
concluded between us and the Dutch Fad-Indh Company, our
Government is to cede to them the port of T/Orient for two
years to build flips, to receive returns, and to make their files.

Franck fort, (Germany) January 16. It is said that a nego
tiation is actually on foot between the Emperor and the Elec
tor Palatine Duke of Bavaria, relating to the Marquifate of
Bergen-op-Zoom, which is to be ceded to the Emperor, either
by exchange or purchase.
Rome, January 7. The new laws which the Emperor has
published in his estates relative to Ecclefiaftick affairs cause great
sensation here ; the Pope has had several conferences on the
fubjed with the Cardinals Antonelli, Conti, and Negroni, the
result of which was the fending an exprtfs to Vienna, the con-
tents of whose dispatches were at firft variously reported, but
it now seems certain that the Pope has sent a,brief to the Em
peror, in which he offers his Majesty, notwithflandiog his
great age and the season of the year, to take a journey to Vi
enna, in order to concert with him the properest means , of re
conciling the views capreffed in his Majesty's edicts and decla

toms and articles of a treaty of alliance, offenfive and defenfive,
between Holland and France, are fettled by the French Minify

friends here as will probably protract that business ; for mould
it ever be brought to a conclusion, there is a lasting farcwellto
the political connexion which has so long subsisted between
Great Britain and this Republic.''
January 31. A gentleman who arrived within these few
days from Dublin, informs us, that the inhabitants of each
parish in that city patrole the fleets every night in small par
ties, which duty they perform by rotation. The contenuence
of this wife regulation is, that burglaries and street robberies
have been suppressed. „ .

Britain and Ireland for marking such as are lit to be cut down
for the fame purpose.
Mahon, (Minorca) December 23. This morning an Hano
verian came to our camp, and reports that the last sally was
made by i<o Corsicans, three of whom were wounded.
Paris, January ,8. Letters from Mahon of the 26+h of
December advise, that the befiecers had received a large fbopiy
of ammunition, especially powder and cannon-bans; that the
batteries would be soon unmasked ; and that (nolwithflanding
the enemy's fire hadbeen very brisk for feme days',it would be
no way surprising if Fort St. Philip, judged impregnable on
account of the difficulty of its approaches, should fall before
the expiration of three months.
February i. They write from Turin, that the king of Sar

Pfris, January 24. The last letters from Mahon, dated the
13th, mention, that the siege of Fort St. Phillip began on the

22 guns, commanded by the noted Capt. Fall.
The noted General Lee has left America, and was seen lately
in the low countries, skulking about in an American uniform,
and meeting with daily-instances of the most galling contempt.
A correspondent obferves,that Col. Hayne who was executed
at Charleftown, Smith-Carolina, was known to have taken the
oaths of allegiance to his Majesty and afterwards to have joined
ami taken a very a^ive part with the rebels ; and therefore asks,
if any credit can be given to the afiertions of such a man, even
though he were not particularly influenced? and if it can be
for the honour of the P sos the realm to take up the time
and attention of the House with the affections of such a man,
transmitted by an anonymous correspondent, (far the name of
an unknown individual is no better than anooymous)iand expose
some of the worthies men in our service (and without their
having.a means of making any defence) to mi unworthy suspi
cion, or perhaps to a difgractful censure, for a conduct which
in the end may he found, upon being investigated, to have been
abfolntely neeeffary and unavoidable.
Lord Walsingham, in the debate of last night, stated the
unfiirnefs of fuppoling upon mere hearfiy informrtion, that
officers so refpe&ible in character as Lord Rawdon and Lieut.
Colonel Balfour, could be guilty of inhumanity 01 any occa
sion. As Governmentwere not tn poffcson of regular official
information of what hadpaTed at Charleftown, relative to the
execution of Cot. HV ? n% he fold, it would be but fair, from
such parts of the conduct of these officers as were known, to
conclude that thof falls, that neither were known, nor could
just at present be afeertained, were equally deferring of praise.
Tn all the operations of the Southern army, in which Lord
Rawdon had been concerned, no officer had distinguished him
felf more gallantly ; and since Mr. Green had puhlifhed a pro
clamation, charging the execution of Colonel Hayne upon
Lord Rawdon and Colonel Balfour, a van act of extreme cruel
ty. which proclamation their Lordihips had heard, he would
read to the House part of a proclamation, pulfifhed at Charlel
town, bv those very gentlemen, but a short time previous to
the translation, on a falfe representation of which Mr. Greene
had built his menace. His Lordship then read part of a pro
clamation, signed by Lord- Rawdon and Lieutenant Colonel
Balfour, in which, in a stile of the greatest humanity and ten
derness, in order to refche the loyal inhabitants from the wan
ton cruelties repeatediv exftcifed on them by the-rebel militia,
thev allured them." that no aft of theirs, done to save them
selves and their families from b ring, ill used, and their proper
ty from being plundered and destroyed, thonld ever be treated
with harshness, orbe con fidered as an offence." Having finifh
ed this extra&, his Lofdfhip said, he hoped it would weigh as
much with the House as the calumny of Mr. Greene's procla
m itiun. and would rivet on their Lordships minds that favour
able impression of the Britifli officers in question, which he
trailed had hitherto ever been entertained.
Extraffs from fame'private letters from Holland, brought by the
last Mails.
" We are assured that during the last Assembly of the States
of Holland, some very important affairs were agitated, par
ticularly the proffered mediation of the Court of Ruflia for an
accommodation with Great-Britain ; that most of the members
declared that they were not furniflied with the necessary in
ftruftions on that head, and that their constituents would not
admit of any negociation, until it was determined to enter into
an alliance with France to aft jointly with that Crown against
the common enemy.
" The States of Utrecht have agreed to several new taxes to
be laid upon the inhabitants of that province, to fuinifh the
money necellary for their quota of their present expences of the
State, and it is thought other provinces will be obliged to
follow their example.
" It has been reported, that another attempt has been made'
againtt the life of the Kaugof Poland, from which his Majesty
happily received no hurt, but that a lady who was with him
in hjs coach was mortally wounded.
" The negociation between the Emperor and the Elector
Palatine relative to the Marquifate of Bergen op-Zoom is,
we are affiired, almoll concluded, and that diftridt will soon
belong to his Imperial Majesty. It seems very extraordinary
th it the States-Gcucral have not endeavoured to obtain that
Marquifate, as betides the convenience it would he of to the
Republic!;, it is most likely that the House of Austria will think
it beneath them to be a valial of the Republick, and will refufe
to acknowledge the sovereignty of these provinces over that
Marquifate.
" We have accounts from Vienna, that the extraordinary
proposal of the Pope's coming to that city engrotfes all the
couverfation. The Emperor lias, however, it is said, excused
himfelf from the reception of the Holy Father, in the politcft
manner, alledging that he could npt think of his taking such
a journey at his age, and at this severe season; and therefore,
although it would be a great h^fctfion to him to fee his Iloh
nefs at Vienna, and couverfe with him upon the affairs in ques
tion, yet he cannot content to his undertaking the journey,
and that he proposes in a letter to give his Holiness the molt
ample detail of the motives which have urged him to proceed
as he has done."
Extract of a letter from SJefwich, in Norway, January 4.
" Storms violent and lading were hardly ever more frequent
on this coast, than tiuce November; Jutland is ftre wed with
wrecks, among which is a Dutch advice-boat fr^n the kaft,
whose crew all perished, and a Danish frigate of 24 guns."
Letters from Litbon mention, that three Portuguese ships
were just arrived there from Gibraltar, where they had been
to carry provisions and bores for the garrison.
Yesterday some letters were received from General Eliott,
Governour of C ibraltar, which came by way of Lisbon; they
mention, that the Governour and garrison were in high spirits,
and plentifully Applied with fiefh provisions.
Extract of a letter from Groningen, via Flanders, January 20.
“ We have just received the melancholy advice of the Scor
pion, a new ship of 44 guns, built at Leewarden, being loft at
the mouth of that river, as ihe was going out to the i exel to
be equipped for the sea, and upwards of 100 of the crew were
