and who hare found at last their own interest in
this fidelity.
The British Ministry have given orders for the
relief of Gibraltar at all events ; and 'tis said Lord
Howe was ordered for thatrfervice with 38 fail of
the line, to proceed with the greatest expedition;
and 'tis probable he might fail from England about
the time Captain Jacobs left Cadiz; so that by the
next arrival from that part of the world we may
expert very important and interesting intelligence.
Extras of a letter from Fort-Pitt, dated Sept. 3.
" From the middle to the last of July, the In
dians have been very troublesome on the frontiers
of this country —Hanna's town was burned, several
inhabitants killed and taken, and about the fame
time Fort Wheeling was blockaded for several
days; for two weeks the inhabitants were in such
consternation, that a total evacuation of the coun
try was to be dreaded ; but since the beginning of
August matters have been more quiet, and the peo
ple have again, in a great degree, got over their
panick."
We have received the Leiden papers to August 20.
The substance of what they contain, besides what
has been published, is,—
That the French reinforcement for the East-In
dies had arrived there before the British sent out
by Commodore Johnftone: That the force of Count
d'Orves was superior for some time to that of Ad
miral Hughes, and that he had landed at Pondi
cherry a fine body of European troops, to join Hv
der Ally; that he had taken in his way the Han
nibal, an English ship of war of 50 guns, on the
18th of January: That on the 16th of February a
large detachment of British forces, under the or
ders of Colonel Braithwait, was attached by Tip
po Sail, one of Hyder Ally's Generals, that the
action lasted eight hours; and that on the 18th,
Col. Braithwait surrendered himfelf and his whole
army, confiding, according to the British account,
of 150 c Seapoys, a company of European troops,
and a train of artillery with twelve cannon; that
all the British officers except one were either killed
or wounded : That the British reinforcement under
Commodore Beckerton had fared no better than
that under General Meadows, having got by the
last accounts no further than Brazils, and having
'oft by sickness more than half their number since
hey left England. Letters from India mention
how much the British forces hare been weakened
there by sickness and many adions. Calicut, on
the coast of Malabar, where was a Dutch fadory,
was taken by General Abingdon, on the 13th of
February. By the last accounts the army of Gen.
Coote and Munro were not in a condition to face
Hyder Ally, after his reinforcement by the French
fleet. .—I

Extract of a letter from Paris, 'dated August 9.
" Mr. Fitzherbert, Minister Plenipotentiary of
his Britannick Majesty, at the court of Brussels,
being arrived here to resume the negociations of
peace, has had his firft audience with Count de Ver
gennes. As it was but a very short one, it is not
probable that the fubje&s of his mission have been
entered upon.
“ The journal of the combined fleet from the
1 sth to the 27th ultimo, has been received here.—
Ihe 16th, at day-break, the weather being very
hazy, the English squadron was like to fall in with
ours; and had the fog lasted but a quarter of an
hour longer, the fleets would have been mixed.—
But Admiral Howe had just time enough to per
ceive the danger he was going into; he withdrew
according to custom, without leaving us the possi
bility of attacking any of his vessels. The 19th
and 20th the English squadron was yet fruitlefsly
chaced ; the fight of it was loft on the day follow
ing, and Don Louis of Cordova having received or
ders to draw closer to our coasts, to protect %-°
convoy of St. Domingo, which was expe&edf^^
fleets have not met one another since. The 2?th
the fleet received the packets from the court, whic:
permitted them to make fail for Cadiz, where they
ter cantonments at the eastward. It is said maga
zines are laid up on the Connecticut river.
It is certainly reported, that a corps is soon to
be sent from the American army, to relieve or re
inforce the troops at the northward : It is also be
lieved, that a corps of cavalry will be quartered
this winter in the diftri& of Vermont, as the fo
rage in the interior parts of the country has not
been injured by the drought, as it has near the sea
coast. I

will be able to arrive before the 15th inst. if wind
favours them. At the fame time Don Louis de
Cordova had orders to draw pear enough the island
of Aix to get intelligence whether the convoys had
made ready, and in case they should still be in this
anchorage, to take them under his prote&ion. The
French division, consisting of nine vessels, remains
under the command of M. de la Motte Piquet, as
the Count de Guichen was to bring back to Brest
the Terrible, the Majeftuous and the Britannia,
three-deckers, which are going to be coppered. M.
la Motte Piquet's division will be increased with
the Protestor, of 74 guns, which, after having
brought the convoys beyond the Cape, will leave
that of the Weft-Indies under the escort of the Am
phitrion, and will make fail for Cadiz, where are
to repair about the fame time, the Dictator and the
Suffifant, each of 74, lately built at Toulon. These
will not stay long in the fleet, as they appear to be
destined, as is the Puissant of 74 to go to the E. In
dies. Ihe Spaniards will find before the Streights
eight or nine of their ships, which being joined to
the 27 of Don Louis de Cordova, and to twelve
French ships, will form a fleet pretty refpedtable to
make head to the English, in case they undertake
to disturb the liege of Gibraltar with 35 of 36 ves
sels, which they are able to arm since the convoy
of Jamaica has luckily arrived to them."
