RICHMOND, (Virginia) April 20.
We have been favoured with a few English papers
as late as the 7th of February, from which we
have extracted the following:
PETERSBURG H, Dec. 28.
IN consequence of the resolution of the empress,
our august sovereign, refpeding the augmentati
on of her marine, orders have been issued for build
ing 12 ships of the line at Cherfon, and eight others,
three deckers, here: by this arrangement, our ma
rine will amount to 42 ships of the line for the Bal
tick, and 12 of the line for the Black Sea, exclu
sive of frigates, gallies, bomb-vessels, and other arm
ed ships.
Madrid, (Spain) Jan. 1. Letters from the camp
at St. Roche, dated Dec. 20, advise that on the 10th
it was impossible to go on with their works, on ac
count of the violent winds and rains which prevail
ed; but since that time they have continued working
with activity, notwithstanding the brifle fire of the
enemy, who have done us no damage during the
laftten days, except wounding 14 men, three of them
very dangerously. The fire of the enemy seems to
be directed towards our advanced works.
Jan. 4. Ihe night of the 19th u!t. two ships of
about 500 tons burthen, under favour of a weft
wind, have entered into the port of Gibraltar. It
is not doubted that they were laden with provisions
and ammunition, of which the garrison was much in
need, from the care which the English take of
dispatching leveral ships thus burthened to this place,
it is evident that they have no intention of fending
any iquadron for the purpose of victualling Gibral
tar.
Paris, (France) Jan. 21. The Marquis de la Fa
yette, and the Viscount de Noailles arrived here
yesterday; at their departure from America every
thing was quiet, no enterprize having taken place
since the capitulation of Lord Cornwallis.
It seems certain, that by a treaty newly conclud
ed between us and the Dutch East-India company,
our government is to cede to them the port of I'Ori
ent for two years to build ships, to receive returns,
and make their sales.
It is reported as a decided natter that our Mini
stry lire going to use feprifaJs at Grenada, and other
iflancs we may take, to make good the losses our
merchants sustained at St. Euftatia.
LO N D O N, January 26.
Extract of a letter from Plymouth, Jan. 21.
" fhis afternoon go Americans were larded from
the prison-ship, and conducted to Mill-Prison. The
number of American prisoners now there is 498."
On Saturday last Lord Cornwallis arrived at
Exeter, in his way to town from Brixham, where
he landed. The mayor and chamber immediately
assembled at the Guildhall, where he was received
by them in form, and presented with the freedom
of the city, amidst the repeated acclamations of the
people; and after having been addressed by the re
corder, in a speech upon the occasion, his Lordship
was pleased to express his thanks in the following
manner:
" l most gratefully feel the honour conferred up
on me by the city of Exeter. The approbation of
my countrymen greatly overpays any hardships I
may have undergone in my endeavours to serve them
