r THE 2d instant the frigate la Surveillante
entered the port of Brest from a cruize on
^ the coast of Africa, where she took four
English fllips with slaves on board, which
she sent to the Antilles. She had intelligence on
the 30th of September of Admiral Howe's fleet,
which was then in the Bay of Biscay, with contrary
winds. The frigate took two of their straggling
ships. • .
R OTTERDA M, Aug. 21.
The committee of merchants, owners of vefTels,
and insurers, belonging to the city of Rotterdam,
hereby require all owners and insurers of vefTels,
established in the fame city, to deliver in fix weeks
from ttyis day, or sooner if possible, e*a& and cir
cumstantial accounts of the losses they have sustained
from the piracies and vexatious robberies of the
English, since the conclusion of the year 1778, till
the present time, as well by the seizure and capture
of their effeds and their ships at sea, as in their co
lonies, which were conquered and pillaged in the
Weft-Indies; in order that the committees may
from such accounts estimate the losses which have
been sustained by the trade and navigation of this
city, from the Englilh plunderers, both in time of
peace and in the course of this war, into which our
republick has been drawn by the insults of our com
mon enemy. This estimate is to be laid before our
sovereign, to the end, that after all other the com
mercial towns of our country shall have followed
our example, proper meafiires may be taken at the
concluding a treaty of peace, to obtain a reasonable
indemnification in favour of the merchants of the re
publick. —
A MSTERDA M, Aug. 22.
All the merchants, holders of ship accounts as
well in this city as in Saardam, are desired to de
liver in, on or before the 14th of September next,
to the notary Dorper at Amsterdam, the names of
their ships and of the captains, who subsequent to
the year 1778 have been 'taken and pillaged by the
Englilh fllips of war and privateers, and carried into
Lisbon, Port Mahon, or elsewhere, and condemned
in an unjust and illegitimate manner. 3 hey are also
desired to draw up a fpecifick inventory of their pri
vate losses, as well as those which concern the pub
lick, and also of the expences occurred by the re
claims made, in order to make known the immense
losses the Dutch commerce has fuffered at a time
when we trusted to the faith of the nioft solemn
treaties betwixt this republick and Great-Britain.
H A G U E, G&ober 13.
The treaty of friendfhip and commerce between
our republick and the United States- of America,
has been digefred on the plan delivered by Mr.
Adams, and according to the remarks made on that
piece by the refpe&ive admiralties. A convention
has been joined thereto, concerning the re-taking of
ships belonging to the two nations.
I he greatest care had been taken to make of
both the treaty and convention, two originals per
fectly alike, the one in Dutch, the other in Englilh,
copied fair in two columns on the fide of each other :
so that seven deputies of their High Mightinesses,
one of each province, and the grand penfionary,
have signed the firft, and the Minister of the United
States, the second of these columns. The treaty
contains twenty-nine articles, and the convention fix.
LONDON, September 10.
The present is a period big with the greatest
events, and America seems to be the grand feene
of revolution. Fourteen states are formed in the
course of a few years in the north, and another new
empire is springing up in the south of that vast con
tinent. The defeendants of the millions of Peruvi
ans murdered by the Spaniards, are like inftru
nients of Divine Providence, retaliating the cruel
ties experienced by their forefathers. Dominions
and climates seem to be altering, and nature seems
big with an event in the disposition of the world.
Sepf. 27. I lie arrival of the Baltic fleet has
brought a supply of timber for the use of govern
ment, that will amply replenish our naval arsenals,
and fully enable them to carry on business in the se
veral dock-yards, in a manner that must strike our
enemies with terror and amazement
Ofl. 4. The trade of Hudson's Bay is in t!
hands of a company, who had an exclusive pi
lege granted them in 1670, in the reign of Chan
11. Ilie company at present consists of nine mem^
bers and one secretary ; and this ' commerce brings
such immense profits to those concerned therein,
that even the captains of the company's ships are
fatisfied if they can make two or three fafe voy
ages. Four ships manned by 150 sailors are con
stantly employed, and always fail together. (There
has not been one taken during the present war.)
The company has established four forts, situated on
the western fide of the bay, with each a garrison of
150 men. The annual exportation amounts annu
ally to about 18,0001. sterling ; but the imports is
not easy to fix. The duties come to about 4000!.
sterling, which is the only advantage the nation
draws from this trade and company. A projed of
making the trade of Hudson's Bay free was some
time ago submitted to the consideration of Lord
North, in which it was demonstrated that the na
tion might gain 20,000 k sterling yearly thereby;
this branch of commerce being capable of great im
provement and extension.
On the 17th of August the I'Eveille of 64 guns
arrived at I'Orient. She left Cape Francois on the
20th of June, and had on board, 700,000 piaftres,
which flie was to have difeharged in North-Ameri
ca, but put the whole on board a Boston frigate,
and having convoyed her as far as the Capes of Vir
ginia, bore away for France. She was but 45 days
from the time of her leaving the Cape, till ffi e ar
rived at I'Orient, including four days she staved at
the Havanna. On the coast of America she fell in
with a sixty gun fliip and two frigates (Englilh)
from which she escaped by dint of failing. [The
Boston frigate mentioned above, is the Washing
ton, Capt. Barney.]
The Morning Chronicle of this day informs, that
government received, on yesterday, despatches from
Sir Guy Carleton and Rear Admiral Digby, in
which they both demanded an immediate recall, as
the last orders which they received annul those up
on which they had began to a&, and thereby render
it impossible for them to treat with Congiefs.
Extract of a letter from Captain Moulton, of the
True Love (one of the Jamaica fleet) arrived
at Portsmouth from that inland.
" On the 16th of September, finding myfelf in

Newfoundland, I was attacked by a florm which in
