And whereas many flrips and merchandize belong

they arrived before the said order for general reprisals

to grant paries for the said ihips and cargoes, (except
as before excepted) to proted them from capture
by any ihips of his Majesty, or his fubjeds, in their
return to some port of the United Provinces.
But whereas his Majesty is intitled to exped and
demand the fame treatment from the States General
of the United Provinces for the ihips and cargoes be
longing to any of his Majesty's fubjeds ; His Majesty,
by and with the advice ot his Privy Council, is pleated

. P RESEN T,
-he KIN G's Mori Excellent Majesty in Council,
his Majesty having taken into con-
V lideration the many injurious proceedings of
testates General of the United Provinces, and
their lubje&s, as jet forth in his royal manifefto of
toe 20th of this instant December; and being deter
mined to take such measures as are necessary for
vindicating the honour of his crown, and for pro
curing reparation and fatisfadtion, hath been pleased,
by and with the advice of his Privy Council, on the
laid 20th of this instant December, to order, that
general reprisals be granted against the (hips, goods
and subjects of the States General of the United
Provinces; io that as well his Majesty's fleets and
ships, as also all other ihips and vessels that (hall be
commiflionated by letters of marque or general re
piilals, or otherwile, by his Majesty's Commission
ers for executing the office of Lord High Admiral of
Great-Biitain, ihall and may lawfully seize all ihips,

of the United Provinces, or their fubjefts, or others
inhabiting within any of the territories of the afore
faid States General, and bring the fame.to judgment

jesty's dominions.
Dec. 23. This Morning some dispatches were re
ceived from Sir Joseph Yorke, by which we are in
formed, that he would not set off for England until
the middle of February next.
Yesterday upon 'Change, the principal Dutch Mer
chants were unanimously of opinion, that the rup
ture between England and Holland would be over
before the commencement of the new year. When
the last letters came over, the French Ambassador at
the Hague was obliged to keep his house, for fear of
attacks from the incensed populace.
This week the Dutch Merchants had several private
meetings refpeding the present dispute, and are using
their endeavours to fettle matters amicably.
On Thursday an order was ferit off express from
the Admiralty, to Admiral Evans; commanding in
the Downs, for him to detach all the Ihips he could
spare, as a flying squadron to cruize againri the
Dutch ; which squadron we are informed weighed
anchor, and failed yesterday morning at day-light.
A number of Dutch vessels have been ftopt at the
Nore, by Vice-Admiral Roddam, in consequence of
the Manifefto, publilhed in Thursday's Gazette.
This week upwards of forty Letters of Marque
were granted in the Admiralty, and a great number
more are making out.
By a gentleman arrived in town yeJlerday, we are
favoured with the Royal Danifo American Gazette ;
from which we have made the following extracts :
[From a Philadelphia Paper of April 25.]
THE
STEPH. COTTRELL.
The following Ihips being part of Vice-Admiral
Darby s squadron, are come to anchor at St. Helens:
Britannia, Prince George, Victory, Queen, Duke,
Formidable, Marlborough, Edgar, Fortitude, Bello
na, Inflexible, Dublin, Defence, Courageux, Eme
rald frigate, Lightning firefhip, Harpy ditto. The
remainder of the fleet parted company on the 19th
instant, under orders to proceed to Plymouth, except
a (hip of the line and two frigates, which were de
tached to protect the homeward bound Quebec con
voy ; the matter of the Enterprize privateer, having
acquainted the Admiral of his having seen them in
latitude 48, failing in very good order.
Saturday private dispatches were received from
Paris, which contain an account that M. de la Touche
Tieville lias embarked on board the men of war and
transports at Brest, 9,800 men, and 2,200 are expect
ed from St. Maloes, so that the actual number of
troops for the Weft-India service is 12,000.
The Council of war held at Versailles, Dec. 1, have
come to a resolution of fending 18,000 troops to the
Weft-Indies, axclufive of those under M. de Treville.
I his embarkation will certainly take place about the
latter end of January.
A letter from Cadiz mentions that a division of
prize money for the Englilh (hips will not take place
until the middle of next summer. Admiral Don Cor
dova's Ihare in the whole, it is said, will amount to
124,000!. sterling.
NEW - YOR K, April 23.
fyerday morning a mail arrived at the Poft-Office in
this city, brought by his Majesty's sap of war the
Cormorant, in fix weeks from Falmouth ; and by
the foip Quebec, Capt. Smith, arrived in nine weeks
from London, we have the following advices, viz.
W A R S A W, December 6.
NOT WITHSTANDING the bad weather, the
• Ruffian troops in different parts of the kingdom
are in motion to march out of it; 'they have already
quitted Thorn, and some regiments of these troops
will pass the Viriula here next week.
Dec. 28. It is said the King of Prussia has ordered
24,000 of his belt troops to march towards Silelia,
which occasions many conjectures ; probably he has
the maxim in his mind, Si vis pacem para bellum.
Paris, Dec. 23. Ihe King, on Monday, having
notified to M. Ie Prince Montbarrey, that he accept
ed of his resignation of the place of Secretary of State
in the war department, it is thought he will be re
placed by the Duc de Chatelet, or the Marquis de
Vogue, commandant in Provence. It is not known
whether the plan which the Prince de Montbarrey
and M. de Sartine had agree on for next campaign
will be prosecuted. It is probable that the new Mini
sters will make some alterations in it if not too late ;
but that nothing will be determined till after the ar
rival of the Count d'Estaing at Brest, where he is
impatiently expected.
Leghorn, Dec. 13. It is reported that not only the
Ruffian squadron in this port, but five other men of
war and three frigates of that nation, will Ihortly
fail to the Archipelago, if the differences between that
Court and the Porte are not fettled.
LONDO N, December 26.
, Yesterday a quantity of baggage belonging to the
drafted soldiers out of the guards, was (hipped on
board transports in the river for America.
Advice is received that Capt. Trollop, of the Kite
sloop, has taken and brought into Falmouth, two
Dutch merchantmen of 1000 tons burthen each, 150
firri rate main-malts, 200 ditto sore-masts, and xoco
setts of top-masts, besides a large quantity of 4 inch
(hip plank.
It is said there is a treaty onfoot between our Court

Extract of a letter from Plymouth Dock, Dec. 17.
" Last night passed by to the Eastward, the grand
fleet, under Admiral Darby. The Foudroyant, Capt.
Jarvis, put into Cawfand-Bay ; the rest are proceed-
( n gto Spithead. By her we learn, that our fleet was
in light of the French fleet on the 28th of November,
conlifting of 27 fail of line, and 100 Merchantmen,
handing to the North-East. Our fleet was to leeward
and chaced; but being about four o'clock in the
evening they soon loft fight of them. They saw
them a second time on the 30th, and much in the
fame situation, since which they have not heard of
them. Both times the wind was unfavourable, and
being evening, they could not long keep fight of them.
They were then between Cape Finiftere and Uffiant,
in the entrance of the Channel."
There are lying in the riyer Thames, 44 fail of
Dutch ihips, all of which are flopped from going
down.
