tit ON D O N, August 23.
ON Tuesday about three o'clock,, his Majedy, and his
Roval Highness the Prince of Wales, landed from the
Royal yachts (from their late tdurlolfic'NoreJ afErith, A lit
tle below Woolwich. '"
His Majesty, (accompanied by thflhipce of Wales, vn
Monday, walked upwards of tw) fopur.s_aV Chatham on the.
platform. His Royal Highness left a purse of 50 guineas to be
distributed among the soldiery.—His Majesty left three bags,
-contaihingTodo guineas each with Admiral Parker, to be dis
tributed amoqg the crews of hir fleet. ;, Q,
Yesterday Vice-Admiral Packer, Accompanied by Vicc-Ad
jniral goddam, commanding officerrat the Nore, and the
llon. Commodore Keith Stuart, Esq; of the Berwick, were
present at the Levee : at St. James's, to pay tlieir compliments
to his Majesty for the signal Ir-nour conferred upon them by
the late Rojd. Yil.it, ..They were. mofEgracionfly received, and
afterwards 'were fcverllly compliiheiited by the Nobility, &c.
present.
Yesterday General Mathew took leave of His Majesty at St.
James's, on his departure, to take the command on the Wed-
India Ration, in the room of General Vaughan, who, was
hourly expected to arrive in England.
George.Sc^tt, Efa; Colonel of the 83d regiment of foot, is
appointed Deputy-Governour of Windsor-castle, in the room
of Major-G% ml Philips, deceas'd.
Y^fterday afternoon private dispatches were received .from,
Trance ; the Paris letters are datedthe 15th infl, by which we
are informed, that M, Tsejolie'^ squadron in the lat. 26. SO..
some few days after they loft soundings oft the Cape of Good!
'Hope, met with ri dreadful gale at S%S, W. whichjatted twoi
days, in, which time they received to much damage as obliged*
them toreturn to the Cape. :
By the fame advices we are informed by a correspondent,
principally concerned in the East-India trade, that Ifeyder Agly
has precipitately retreated from the Carnatic, through the:
Tan^re cohpt „ that Sir Iled'ar Mrmro was following him,
find fettling And adjusting all masters with the friends of the
Company, which the usurper's excursion had thrown into
confusion.''
An officer of the navy, who was present at the engagement
with the Dutch, gives the following account of the Dolphin in
that engagement :—At the commencement of the action, the
Dolphin was a-'oreaft of the lixth ship of the enemy's lint, of
60 guns; with her flicixchangcdn few broadsides, paired on,
and came to close aQion with two large frigates, both of
which, in a short time, file beat out of the line. She then.
Cheered up to theatext ship of the enemy's being a 74, and se
cond oftheir van, and engaged her within piftol/hot for aeon-,
fiduable time. At this .time the Berwick had (hot a-head of.
the enemy's line, and Was at such a distance die could afford
ro abidance to the Dolphin, and the Buffalp; winch had here
tofore followed' her, had got so much astern, and to wi^d-'
-ward, that the, too, was prevented from giving the Dolphin
any fuccour. In this perilous situation the Dolphin most gal
lantly sustained the fire of two line-of battle (hips and a frigate
fur above an hour, nor would the haul out ofthe line, though
ihe might have done so without censure, being much crippled
ya her rigging, but boldly flint up a-bread ofthe enemy's van
fliip, of 64 guns, with which file engaged. While in this filtr
ation' the Berwick made a tack, and coveted the Dolphin,
which if flic had not done, the Dolphin mud have gpne down.
From fhis account if appears that the Dblphin engaged five
of the enemy's ihips fueceffively'—an inßance of bravery which,
reflects the higher honour on her commander, Capt, Blair, his
gallant officers, and intrepid crew.
The seamen lately belonging to the flrips of war under Ad
miral Parker are ordered to be paid off, and allowed fortyMays'
leave 'to fee their friends. r
The Hollandia of 64 guns, and the Pathvia of 54 guns, are
the Dutch men of war laid to have.been 101 l near the entrance
of the Texel, exclusive of the 74 that funk the night of the
Siftion.
The Quebec man of war, with the ships under her convoy
for Quebec, paged by Torbay on Tuesday afternoon, all well.
Extract of a fetter from Paris, Aitgrfl 17.
“ We have at last been obliged to lay on the -war taxes ;
economical plans imposed upon the public for some years,
and made them advance to fill up the loans ; b<caufc,thry inn
pined that economical favihgs would enable the Treasury to
pay the interest, without laying arfy additional tax upon the
fubjed : but our hopes were vam; the plapsof ©economy were
specious, but nothing more; and while the people thought
the finances in the belt order, an enormous unfunded debt was
contrasting, which has thrown them into the mod alarming
disorder: the persons who advanced money, became at length
clamorous for their interest or principal; the Ministry, impor
tuned on every fide, have at length dropped the mask, and
out comes a budget of the nioft infamous and oppressive taxes,
because they are laid upon the necessaries, not the luxuries of
life; and, consequently, mult be paid by the poorest class of
the community. The fatal edict which imposes those taxes
was regiß^ed'ycfterday in the Parliament of Paris, which bo
dy has been found so complaisant to the will of the Court, that
. they have not made a remonstrance even against the mode of
taxation."
Madrid, (Spain) Magif 3. By a courier just arrived from
the camp at St. Roch, we learn, that the armament under the
command of the Duke de Grillor .was in the middle of the
Streight of Gibraltar the 25th of July at seven in the morning:
it was cempofed of two ihips of the line, two frigates, two
bomb ketches, two xebeques, and thirty tranfport-Ihips, ha
ving oh board 9100 effective men. They had a favourable
wind, which, if it continued, would carry them to Minorca
in three or four days. The object of that expedition is no lon
ger a secret." We now think it certain that the fleet is going
to Mahon, to reduce the island and destroy that swarm of
Englilh privateer's which the port contains. The Fort of St.l
Philip, the only one in a condition to make a long resistance,
will be invested in such a manner, that itrnuft soon surrender,
if France thinks proper to join some troops to ours ; and though
it should be intended only to form the blockade, this expediti
on would dill be of great use, since it would prevent Minor
ca from Applying Gibraltar, as it has hitherto done, and
which we have been obliged to fuffer, for want of a certain
number of cruizing ships in the Mediterranean.

tendons August 23. Lord Stormont has been in town dur
ing the whole of this week, and as several meflengers have

attack their different fettlements^and factories. -J:
The India dispatches mention, that the rcafon why the<
French squadron did pct go into Maurafs road, was their fee
ing five large fnip'k ridihg'at anchdr/which they luckily mis
