chafe, fol the life of the annuitant The terms appeared so
advantageous at that time to several monied people in England,
that no less a fuffi than 800,0001. was railed out of this country
upon the above conditions. The annuitants, however, both •
in England and France, have received a regular official inti
mation, that the annual interest will be flopped for one year,
namely, the year ensuing, the situation of his Most Christian
Majesty's finances not making it altogether convenient to dis
charge these kind ofleffer obligations at this time. This would
have been a moil acceptable article of information for Great-
Britain, as it conveys the most unequivocal demonstration of
the impoverished state of our enemy's trtafury, had it not been
that so many of our countrymen miift participate in the dis
aster, and the annual introduction of 80,000 b Veiling into this
country be entirely cut off, as they will doubtless use the fame
apology the year after the next, and to on, during the whole
continuance of the prelent hoftilitics.
ORober 30. A private letter from the Texel has the follow
ing article: “ The Engliih men of war have lain before this
port fodong that the season of the year is too far advanced for
car Baltick fleet to put to sea ; we therefore have had the ships
unloaded, and the goods put into warehoofcs until next fimng,
by which time we are in hopes of having either a peace with
England, or our men of war put in a, condition to take our
merchant ships under their protection. £
From Cadiz we have a confirmation of the destruction of
four large transports at Carthagena by fire; they were ladert
with arms, provisions, ihot, llfells, entrenching tools, &c.
for Minorca. „., „ . . , .
Yesterday evening Commodore Keith Stewart arrived in
town from the Downs, where his squadron has returned from
its late cruize on the coast of Holland.
November 1. Oar accounts from the Mediterranean give
us no catife to be more apprehensive for Minorca than tor Gi
braltar, as we have equal reason to be fatirfied with oui Com
manders and their troops. Though the garrison of St. Philips
is not numerous, yet they are in excellent order, and General
Murray being previoufiy prepared to exped the enemy, laid
up a fufficient fupplv of provision to serve them tor four hun
died days; id that we have no catife for immediate despair,
but, on the contrary, to hope, that as we are plentifully fup
vlied with naval ft ores of every kind, and our navy mere afing,
while our enemies (deprived of almolt their whole expected
flock) can scarcely be expected to improve, we (hall be able to
contend with them, and ^lift both garrisons, even ifthe over
tures for either a general or Separate peace produce nothing 111
the course of the winter. . , v n
This day advice was received at the Hudson s-Bay Com
pany's house, in Fenchurch-ftreet,of the fate arrival at Grave
feud of the three following foips from.the Company's settle
ments; viz. the King George, Fowler, the Prince Rupert,
Richards, and the Seahorse, Christopher.
A private letter from Madrid -to a gentleman of great cha
racter in the citv, fays, “ Two persons of importance, one of
them filling himfclt John Freeipantle Burroughs, Elq;_ the
' the other's name at present unknown, are arrived there from
America, for the purpose of fettling as Agents to the American
Congress; they have force strong recommendations to the Mi
nister's protection, as they fay, but we suppose they are only
come to endeavour to raise force calh upon Congrefsfreunty,
in which I affureyou, they will fail, as money was never fcar
cerin this kingdom than at this period.".
A merchant of eftablifoed reputation, who arrived in town
on Saturday from Oftend, allures us, that the principal tim
ber-pieces for building line-of-battle ships at I'lufhing having
lain so long in the yard open to all weathers, are rotten to the
heart ; and though purchased at a very great expence, very lit
tle of it is even fit to repair frigates. Most of the men of war
are very unfit for foreign service, or general action in a large
fleet. They also are actually in want of able fcamen.
On board one of the Dutch Indiamen taken by Commodore
Johnftone, was a packet neglected to be thrown over-board,
containing, among other things, a letter and Memorial fiom
the Governour General at Batavia to the Company in Europe,
earnestly requesting very powerful reinforcements, and plainly
declaring, that without them, Should he be attacked, it would
be impossible for him to defend that important post, the head
of all their Settlements in India.
November 8. A commission has been issued by the Lords of
the Admiralty to Sir Tho. Pandas, appointing him Vice-Ad
miral of the Orkneys, Shetland, and the seas adjacent. This
poll was held by his father, the late Sir Laurence Dundas.
Extract of a letter from Madrid, October 9.
“ There is advice from the Havana, that the sickness which
bad prevailed amongst the army for some time, is at lafi hap
pily flopped, and the men are recovering furprizingly From
the returns delivered to the Governour, it appears, that about
740 soldiers, and 33 officers, died in a short time."
November 9. A private letter from Lisbon fays, “ the *e
fufal of the Court in so peremptory a manner to that part of
the mtmoriabof the French Ambassador which demanded that
all American Blips Ihall have free entrance in our ports, and
the fame favours, &c. as granted to your nation, is likely to be
attended with more Serious consequences than at present we are
aware of."
A letter from Amsterdam fays, “ An account having been
received, here from tome prisoners in England of the humane
treatment, they meet with, orders are given to all the Com
manders of privateers, that when any Englishmen fall into
their hands, they use them with humanity: Also those who
Superintend the English prisoners are directed to serve them
with their full allowance of good provisions, &c. and in all
other refpefts to treat them with lenity." #
November 10. Advice is received from Flufliing, that three
frigates and several merchant ships were so much damaged in
the harbour in a violent hurricane, that on examination they
are thought unfit for further service, and a great deal of da
mage was done on shore; the three frigates had taken in their
provisions, in order to go on a cruize into the North-Seas.
