London, October 25. On the 15th October died in Bond
ftreet, the Right llon. Alexander Erskine, Earl ot'Kelly, Vif
courit Feiitbn.
Holland has loft more in one year than all the powers at war
put together have fuffcred in the whole term of its duration.
Three millions at Euft^tia, iliips to the amount of half a mil
lion more; and, lastly, their fix East-India ships, which can
not be estimated at less than another million of specie; and all
this -in obedience to French artifice.
If the above prizes arrive fafe in port, as they are said to be
the richest ships lent from their settlements for some years, it is
supposed tlie Commodore's ihare of them will be worth at
lealt 200,000!.
'On the 14th October di^d, at his house at Beckenham in
Kent, ,ir Piercey Brett, Knt. Admiral of the Blue. He fail
ed round the world with Commodore Anson, as firft Lieute
nant of the Centurion.
On the 18th October both Houses of Parliament met, agree
able to the lath prorogation, and adjourned again to the 27th
of November, when they are to proceed on national buhnefs,
pursuant to his Majesty's proclamation.
On the 17th October died, at his house at Sunbury, the
Bight Hon. Edward Lord Hawke, of Towton, in Yorkshire,
K. B. Vice-Admiral of Great-Britain, Admiral of the fleet,
President of the Maritime School, and an Elder Brother of the
Trinity House.
Commodore Johnftone is soon expected in the channel. He
was to leave St. Helena with his prizes about the end of Au
gust, on his way home. It now appears that it never was in
tended he should go to India. His inflections were to take
the Cape of Good Hope, out if that was impracticable, to fend
forward the line of battle ships and troops to Madrafs. Finding
Suffrein's fleet had reached the Cape before him, which ren
dered its capture impossible, he sent forward the line ofbattle
"ships and troops to India agreeable, to his inftrudions.
The troops which failed under convoy of Commodore John
ftone, and parted with him near the Cape, to join Sir Eyre
Coote, conlift of the 2d battalion of the qzd, or Royal High
landers, Humberfton's battalion, and that of Fullerton, with
the five additional companies of the Convention regiments.
They amount in all to full 3500 men, which, it is hoped, will
give a decided superiority to our army in India; while the
three ships of the line, detached by the Commodore along with
them, to aft under Sir Edward Hughes, must render us unri
valled in the Eaftcrn seas.
Providence has been lingularly propitious to us in the arrival
of a part of our East-India fleet, as it was by the merest acci
-dent that the whole of the homeward-bound Chinamen did
not fall into the hands ofthe enemy.—They grew leaky in their
passage, and nfed in every endeavour to put into the Cape to
refit, where, if they had once entered,'they must inevitably
have fallen a prey to the Dutch, ofthe war against whom they
had heard nothing. The wind however, proved so obstinate
ly contrary, that they were obliged to relinquish that delign,
and to proceed to St. Helena, from whence they have all hap
pily arrived in fafety.—Our readers may depend upon the a
bove as a fadt.
There is a larger quantity of china and fills on board the
Indiamen that have just arrived, than has been imported into
this country for maby years. This will of course reduce the
price of these articles.
All the officers belonging to the feveril regiments in Ame
rica, now upon leave of absence, or any avocation except the
recruiting fcrvicc, will soon receive orders to join their respec
tive corps.
Twenty thousand lend forces, it is said, will be sent to Ame
rica very early in the spring, a number of which are to be draft
fed from the regiments in Ireland, where the military know
ledge', and uhfhaken loyalty of the people, renders a Handing
army in a great measure unneGeflary.
So great is the demand for tobacco for foreign markets, that
the price is raised this week 3|d. per lb.
Letters from General Murray, contain the most spirited ex
preflions of confidence in the strength of Fort St. Philip's, to
• defy the besiegers; but it is with the proviso of their being a
molt powerful fleet and body of troops soon sent to their allif
tance.
Commodore Johnftone and General Meadows continued on
the best terms till they separated. The reports therefore of
, their having differed about the prize money, must have been
fabricated with some malicious intention.
It is certain that some frefh proposals on the part of the
^United Provinces, have been made within a few days raft
through means of a certain northern court.
A letter from Amsterdam, by the way of Oftend, has the
'following article : " The merchants in this city have just re
ceived an account of five of their ships being taken, four of
our richest homeward bound, and one out-ward bound, with
a large sum of money on board. This has caused great confu
fion amongst us, and I am afraid will be the ruin of some fa
milies : we may thank a certain power for drawing us into this'
war. If the States had taken the advice of the Prince of
Orange, we had not entered into it ; he knew the condition
of our navy, and endeavoured to persuade them against a war, ;
but all his arguments proved ineffectual; they now fee their
error, and I believe would be glad to be at peace with Eng
land ; we wait with impatience for a courier arriving from
Peterfburgh : we shall then know whether a negotiation for a
peace is to be set on foot between all the powers at war, or
whether peace is to be only treated of between England and
the United provinces of Holland."
Yefferday morning Admiral Sir George Rodney arrived in
town from Lord George Germain's feat at Stoneland, and
"will this day set off for hath, previous to his return on board
Commodore Keith Stewart, is ordered to return with his
whole squadron to the Downs, the object of his cruise having
so far answered, as to fruftrate the commercial views of the
Dutch in their expectations from the Baltick, and it being irn
poffible at this late season for their outward bound East-India
and other fleets, 'to proceed to sea northward, so that they
must pass through our channel, where a proper squadron is
provided for their reception.
The Dutch Eaft-Indiamer, captured by Commodore John
flone, mentioned in the Gazette extraordinary were lase arri
ved at St. Helena when the Fast-India fleet left that place.
THE King has been pleased to promote the following
