From SATURDAY, April 21,
IN consequence of reprisals being authorized against the Dutch,

and other ports along that coast, to cruize ag.G.nft the Hollanders ;
and from the knowledge the North country bailors have of their
coast, great expectations are formed of their success. ' :
London, January 6. By the late enquiries into the number of
Roman Catholicks in this kingdom, it is found, that they are ama
zingly diminished Since the former calculations were made, a few
years ago. Toleration, liberty and protection, will always do more
with men of sense, principle and candour, than pcrfectftion.
1 he remains of Dr. Fothergill were yesterday morning carried to
the Quakers burial-ground, at Winchmor^hill. There were more
than 70 coaches and post-chaises; many of the Friends came above
100 miles, to pay the last tribute of reflect to a character so highly
esteemed. The executors intended t^ Burial to be private, but the
desire of the Quakers to attend the funeral rendered it impossible.

Luebeck, OA:ber 9,5, 1780.
" I HAVE the honour to acquaint your Lordfuip, that I have
just received an express from Major Carleton, who commands one of
the detachments mentioned in my letter to your Lordihip of the 17th
ultimo,'
" The secrecy and dispatch with which this detachment penetrated,
prevented any opposition of consequence on the part of the enemy;
and on the 10th and 11th instant, the garrisons of Fort Ann and Fort
George Surrendered prisoners of war.
" Major Carleton, who has, as well as his detachment, shewn
great zeal and activity in this affair, having fully answered the pur
poses for which he was sent, is returned to Crown-Poiht, where he
is to remain, as long as the season will permit the vessels to navigate
the Lake, in order to draw the attention of the enemy.
“ The reports affiduoufiy published upon ail occasions by the ene
my, of cruelties committed by the Indians, are notoriously falfe, and
propagated merely to exasperate the ignorant and deluded people. In
this late instance, Major Carleton informs rae, they behaved with the
greatest moderation, and did not strip, or in any refpe& use ill their
prisoners.
“ I inclofe, for your Lord Ship's information, a lift of the killed,
wounded, and prisoners.
“ A party of ipo men and Mohawk Indians crossed Lake Cham
plain, with Major Carleton, to co-operate with Sir fohn Johnfon,who
most be, before this time, upon the Mohawk River ; and another
party of 200 Canada Indians, with their proper officers, under the
command of Lieutenant Haughton of the 53d regiment, marched at
the fame time towards Connecticut River. They are returned, ha
ving brought away 32 prisoners, without any loft, although pursued
by a superior force, of which it is thought many were killed.
“ I every day expect to hear of- Sir John Johnson's success upon
the Mohawk River. 6
“ P. S. 2d Nov. I have kept this letter open in hopes to give
your Lordship an account of the party which was sent upon the Mo
hawk River, under the command of Sir John Johnson. The enemy,
by means of two Oneida Indians who defected from Niagara, had
received information of an intended attack upon the Mohawk river
and had prepared accordingly- ;but this did not prevent bis success,
though it occasioned him to meet with great opposition. I have just
received a letter from Sir John, wherein he acquaints me that he had
destroyed the settlements of Schohkry and Stone Arabia, and laid
waste a great extent of country. He had federal engagements with
the enemy, in which he came off victorious. In one of them, near
Stone Arabia, he killed a Col. Browne, a notorious and active rebel
with about 100 officers and men.
“ The vessel being under fail, I have only time to inclofe the re
turn of the killed, wounded and miffing.
“ I have the pleasure to acquaint your Lordship, from Sir Term's
letter, that I have great reason to hope, that many of the miffing
will find their way to Gfwego or Niagara, as some Indians and Ran
gers well acquainted with the woods are with them. I cannbt finiffi
without exprefling to your Lordship the perfect fatisfadion which
I have from the zeal, spirit and a&ivity with which Sir John Johnson
has conducted this arduous enterprize."

at Spithead, under prote&on of the Hydra. The two convoys fell
in company with each other a few leagues to the Northward of the
Western Islands, and arrived in the Channel under protection of the
Fame, Danae, Pandora, and Delaware. On the 7th inst. when off
Portland-Head, a cutter spoke to the Fame, and acquainted Capt.
Butchart of the French descent on Jersey; in consequence of which
information, that officer, in concert with Capt. Graves, of the Da

# By private letters from Jersey, it appears, that the frigates which
convoyed the French troops from Concale Bay to jersey, did net
make the least attempt against any of their flipping in the harbour :
and, which is still more extraordinary, four hundred troops destined
for the expedition, notwithganding the landing was accomplifked
with so much secrecy and success, were not disembarked, but failed
back again to the French coast.
Amidst the general comflaints of the decay of trade, and a declin
ing commerce, it is not lel' s extraordinary than true, that no less than
two hundred and forty-four ftips were cleared outwards from the port
of Gravefend last November; which are forty more in number, than
have been cleared 'from that part, in the 'fame month, for' more
than forty preceding years.

Extract of a Letter from Paris, January so
" A conference, .by way of Congress, has'been held between the
Dutch, Ruffian, Spanish, Danish and Swedish Ambaffaders, at this
Court. The Dutch claim the aid and interference of the neutral
confederacy. The Ruffian Ambatfador, on the part of the Empress,
said, his Royal mistress would fridly adhere to the treaty cf neu^
trality; but the quarrel between England and the Republick was
not within that treaty; it was founded upon an original breach of
ancient faith and treaty, which the States General had long evaded
or refuted to comply with, although the King of England had long
and patiently remunerated with the States on that fubjedE More
over, that the treaty made by the Amfterdammers, which, as it ap
peared, the States-Geqeral approved, was no part of the neutral'
compact. That her Imperial Majesty of Russia had ever held treaties
with all Powers as sacred, and had religiously complied with them
of course her Majesty never could be brought forward as a party
to aid any Power who would not a& liberally and justly on the prin
ciples of old engagements: but in point cf the neutral confederacy,
her Majesty would do all that the spirit of that engagement required
and no more."

" A few days ago the Count Maurepas had a conference with the
King: the particulars of which are not of a nature to be communi

is the relation and patron of M. de Montbarrey, requested alfp per
million to retire for the remainder of his days from the bustle cf the
°° urt .? n d publick affairs. The Count de Vergennes, it is said, had
likewise entreated him to solicit the fame favour for him; but his Ma
jesty has not granted the request ; and he repeatedly told M. de
Maurepas, “ That he had occaf.cn for his advice more than ever,

" We left England on the 20th of October, and arrived here on
the 26th of November. On our passage hither, in lat. 46. long. 12.
we saw a fail, which we gave chace to, and soon came up with'her;
she proved a French Wed Indiaman, bound from Cape Francois to
Bourdeaux; she had eight guns on board, but did not fire any cue
of them, but struck on our coming so near,, that a ihot from our ii:.A
would have gone over hers; her complement was 25 men, 15 of
which we took out of her, and sent 20 seamen and a prizemafrer to
take care of'her from cur's, with orders to put into the frit port cf
England; she took her departure immediately after the men vet on
board her. We pursued our voyage, and cruized in the fame latitude
as St. Michael, but more to the westward, where we fell in with a
Spanish ship from the river La Plata; she was at four leagues distance
from us when we drib saw her; we immediately gave chace, and soon
came up with her ; she was but a bad sailor, and appeared to be very
foul; we fired a gun at her to bring her to, to which she gave us in re-'
turn a broadside; a very freurt engagement began on both fidcs, and
lifted for near an,hour, when the fire from the Spanish flip began to
slacken, and instead cf broadsides, Ex, five, and four g^ns, and At
last left off firing, and struck her flag. I went in the bcafrhat was
sent on board her to take poffeflion, when I found the cause of her
striking so soon, we had killed them 20 men, and wounded above
40. Her crew confided of 120 men, and she had 24 guns; we Are
brought her' in here, and by her bills of lading she will prove a
valuable prize, enough to make the officers of my rank hand Ame
fortunes."
