London, February 18. It is reported, that on Thursday even
ing dispatches were received at the Queen's house, from the
court of Vienna, which are said to be of the most defireable
importance to Great-Britain.—Certain it is that Sir Robert
Keith has been negociating with the House of Austria, and that
he lately wrote home to inform the Ministers of the British
court, that he had probable hopes of success.
The c^far privateer of Bristol has lent into Corkethe Hazard,
an American vessel, bound from Nantz to America, laden with
military stores, bale goods, and an allbrtment of other articles,
which were much wanted in the port she was going to.
The N. S. S. St. Tortola del Trapana, Captain Mazara, a
Spanish transport of 500 tons, laden with stores, &c. bound
from Bilboa to Cadiz, is taken by the Tyger letter of marque,
and carried into Scilly.
A Dutch fliip, laden with eloathing and provisions, &c.
bound from Cherburgh to the Weft-Indies, is taken by a
Guernsey privateer. She failed under convoy of a frigate,
with some other vessels, but separated last Monday in a violent
gale of wind, in which she loft her rudder.
A French ship, called Le Saint Tarafion, of 500 tons, bound
from Martinico to Bourdeaux, laden with coffee, indigo, cot
ton, &c. is taken by the Prince William letter of marque, and
carried into Kinfale.
A large Norway ship, laden with masts, tar, hemp, &c.

. The court of Delegates, have appointed Monday, the 26th
of this month, to hear the appeal in the famous marriage cause
between Robert Morris, Esq; and his wife, who was Miss
Frances Mary Harford. They fit in Serjeant's-Inn-hall, Chan
cery-lane at five o'clock in the evening.. ;
Feb. 19. Some time before M. de Ternay's death, both he and
the Count de Rochambeau wrote jointly to the court of France
concerning their situation at Rhode-Ifland, which they des
cribed as far from being agreeable. .They expressly declared,
that they did not find the Americans fo,very cordial as they
expected ; that there seemed to be strong jealousies among
them, refpeding the ultimate views of their European allies;
and that the fleet and army under their own command were
but indifferently supplied with provisions. They gave it like
wise as their opinion, that their continuing much longer On
their present station could be but of little service to the great
object of the alliance, as the natives did not seem very defirous'
to employ their afliftance. Adding, as their firm belief, that
the most welcome fuccours his Majesty could fend to the A
mericans would be 100,000 louis d'ors; for that they seemed
to want money rather than men ; and that this article was.fo
scarce among them, that the fight of a hard dollar was an ab
solute rarity.-
The paragraph in a late paper, refpeding the extraordinary
adventure of the young woman, who entered on board a ship,
and performed all the duties of a sailor, for the fake of her
lover, under the name of George Tbomfon, may be considered
as another instance of female fortitude and fidelity, not inferi
or to the conduct of Lady Harriet Ackland, related by Gene
ral Burgoyne, in his narrative ; or even to the heroism of the
ajmoft more than human Mrs. Ros, whose singular and affec
ting enterprize in America, is the fubjed of Emma Corbett.
February 28. Sir Joseph Yorke was introduced to his audi
ence at St. James's, on Wednesday by Lord Stormont; his
Lordship continued but a few minutes in the closet, after
which Sir Joseph remained in close conference with his Ma
jesty till near five o'clock.
We have the pleasure to assure our readers, that there is
now good season for believing that none of the neutral powers
are inclined to take part with the Dutch in the controversy
with this country, and in particular, that Russia as well as
Germany, is rather friendly in its difpofiticn towards us. To
fnpport the Dutch in their infraction of the most solemn trea
ties with Great-Britain, was not the object of the armed neu
trality. .

The word whig was formerly a term of refped, and figni
fied one who was disposed, from principle, to flipport the con
stitutional rights of the people when invaded by the Crown.
The fame word now is become a term of reproach ; for it is
affirmed, and appropriated to themselves, by a let of men,
who aie disposed, from the want of principle, to invade the
constitutional rights both of King and Parliament, and to fa
crifice the peace and happiness of the people on the altar of
their own disappointed ambition. If there is any thing of the
whig in such a character, it is whiggifm run mod, and nothing
better is to be expected from it than men that are ravingly dis,
traded. The word tor) has undergone a similar change. It
formerly lignified one wlio contended for the authority of the
Crown, in oppoftion to the legal claims of the Lords and Com
mons ; but it is now applied to thole, who contend only for
fubmiffionto the laws and lawful authority, as proportioned
and balanced by the constitution, in opposition to the dehgns
of the turbulent and feditipus. As to the original race of to
ries, it is now extindl, and a man may search till he is blind
without finding one.
A report was yesterday prevalent in the city, that the Court
cf Russia had actually interfered with the States General, to
produce a reconciliation between the Court of Great-Britain
and their High MightinefTes.—This report was derived from
so refpedlable an authority, and so generally believed, that the
flocks actually rose yesterday one and a half per cent, in conse
quence of it.
It is a certain, fadt that the French and Dutch are at this
time extremely busied in buying ibto the English stocks, which
is supposed to have contributed with the above cause in pro
ducing the extraordinary rife which has taken place.
It was averted, the other day, before the lower House, in
the debate on the mutiny bill, that America, ten years ago,
bad not begun even to examine (meaning probably to queflion)
the legislative authority of this country over the colonies. Every
oerfon acquainted with the tranihdions of the Americans
knows, and there are innumerable documents to prove, the
assertion to be falfe. That the Americans, or even the difaf
feded part of them in general, did not think of entering into
an open rebellion, ten years ago, is very true ; for it seldom
Shortly is to fail for New-York, and will take with her the

of Jersey, landed at Portsmouth from that island, and the next
day went to his house at Southampton, where lie was soon af

happens that the body of mal-eontents, in any inft.au

back, a fucceffiori of men may be traced among the Republi
cans of New-England, who not only wished to shake off the
authority of the mother-country, but did all in their power to
prepare the way for it. As soon as by their accumulated la

in the different colonies, who readily co-operated in the great
design. After the combustibles were duly prepared through
