Yesterday arrived here Capt. M'Clanaghan, in a
short passage from St. Euftatia, by whom we learn,
that the French and Spanish fleets, in the Weft-In
dies, consists of 36 fail of the line besides frigates;
and that a part of them had blocked up the British
fleet in St. Lucia ; and it is expected in St. Euftatia,
that before long they would have possession of mod
of the English islands.
Lift of the Spanish Jhips of mar arrived at Martinique.

July 15. Last Tuesday evening arrived here, the
privateer brig Holker, Capt. Lawler, who a few days
before at five o'clock in the evening off Little Egg-
Harbour, fell in with a privateer brig out of New-
York, (supposed to be the Active, lately belonging
to this port) an engagement commenced, which was
very severe for one hour and a half, when the enemy
Iheered off twice, at the fame time an armed schoon
er coming down. Capt. Lawler received a flight
wound in his cheek, his firft Lieutenant was wound
ed in two places, but it is thought not mortally ; fix
were killed and sixteen wounded.
By accounts from New-York, we find the privateer
which fought the Holker, as above, returned into
port on Sunday last, much shattered, having loft the
Captain and a Lieutenant, and 6 or 7 others, killed,
and above 20 wounded.
The combined fleets of France and Spain at present
cruizing among the Windward Islands, consist of 35
fail of the line, besides frigates, and small armed ves
sels. The Britilh squadron in the neighbourhood, by
the prints of the Leeward Islands, set at 21 of the
line; but Admiral Walfingham was hourly expected
with a reinforcement of 11 heavy ships, advice being
come of his leaving England about the 25th of April.
The errand of the three French (hips which lately
anchored in the road of St. Euftatius, appears to be
‘ the fafe conducting to windward of a large supply of
provisions, (15,000 barrels it is said) layed in by the
Dutch traders for the use of his Most Christian Majes
ty's forces. These French ships, with their charge,
had left the island after three days stay. Whilst the
provisions were preparing, the French officers were
treated with great attention, and on their departure,
the Dutch Commodore weighed his anchors and ac
companied them for some distance from the island.

" There is an anecdote from Malaga which ought
to be mentioned, because it cannot fail to have furi
ous consequences.
" The Swedish frigate the Illerim, of 34 guns, com
manded by Capt. Ankarloo, on the 28th of February,
at half after 8 at night, met an English privateer be
longing to Minorca, of 28 guns. The Swedifli Capt.
after hailing the privateer, let her continue her course,
and went on quietly his own. About half an hour
after, the privateer returning, ranged herfelf astern
of the frigate, and unexpectedly difeharged both her
broadsides, loaded with langrage, which killed three
sailors, broke the thigh and the right leg of the Capt.
wounded his Lieut, and some people of the crew. —
Extract of a letter from Continental Village, fuly 2.
'' The enemy lie in the following order : Their cen

Phillip's hill, their right near Stephen Ward's, East-
Chester; the Britilh grenadiers on the right, and the
Hessians on the left ; the light infantry advanced half
a mile in front : Their sick and wounded removed out
of the hospitals into the country. Yesterday about
200 of the enemy's horse and some infantry, under
Col. Hetfield, came into Middle-Patent and its vici
nity, and collected upwards of 100 head of horned
cattle, some horses, and upwards of 200 sheep.
Capt. Sacket, commanding about 40 of the levies of
this state, waylaid them in the neighbourhood of B.
Clapp, retook all their sheep and cattle, and wound
ed a number of them ; they then endeavoured to re
tire between him and the Sound, where Col. Bebee
with some Connecticut levies was posted, who also
fired on them---took some prisoners, and wounded a
number—the enemy left fix killed behind them---
Col. Bebee loft one man. The infamous Mr. Frink is

POUGHKEEPSIE, July xo.
We are credibly informed, that on Thursday last,

THIS day's Gazette completes the
year. The price is fixed by the
quarter at one third of a dollar, to be paid
in produce, or half a dollar in gold or
silver, or the current exchange thereof
in continental money at the time of pay
ment, for the ensuing year. The great
expence of paper and printing renders it
indispensably necessary that the cash pay
ments be punctually made at the end of
every quarter, and those who pay in pro
duce, once a year.

Letters from Virginia advise, that the Lower House
of Assembly of that state have voted their ratification
of the boundary lines between them and Pennsylvania,
as adjusted by the Commissioners from the two states,
who met at Baltimore in August last. As there is no
reason to believe the Senate of Virginia will refufe
their concurrence, we venture to congratulate the
public on the profped: of an amicable closure of a de
bate which produced anarchy and confufion within
the controverted territory, and which weakened the
common cause.

Ankarloo, who in the evening had been obliged by a
violent gale of wind to draw in his guns, and shut up
his ports, not finding himlelf prepared for battle, his
officers took immediate measures, with the utmost a
lertness, for repulsing the privateer, which in fad
did at last receive one broadside from the frigate ; but
upon the whole, (he escaped in the night by the force
of fails and of oars. After this perfidy on the part of
the English, Ankarloo would have entered Marfcilles,
for the fake of dressing his wounds ; but having met
with contrary winds and bad weather for three days,
he put into Malaga, where he went ashore to the
house of the Swedish Consul, and he is since dead of
his wounds."
