For the NEW-JERSEY GAZETTE.
On hearing of the ne<ws ofthe capture of Lord Corn
wallis and the Britilh army, by Gen. Washington.
B, a Lady of New-Jersey.
BRING now ye Muses from th' Aonian grove,
The wreath of victory which the filters wove,
Wove and laid up in Mars' most awful sane,
To crown our Hero on Virginia's plain.
See! from Caftalia's sacred fount they haste,
And now, already, on his brow 'tis plac'd;
The trump of fame proclaims aloud the joy,
And Washington is crown'd, re-echo's to the Iky.
Illustrious name! thy valour now has broke
Oppreflion's galling chain, and took the yoke
From off thy bleeding country, set her free,
And every heart with transport beats for thee.
For thee ! Rochambeau, Gallia's vet'ran chief,
Sent by fair Freedom's friend to her relief;
An arch triumphal shall the Muse decree,
And heroes yet unborn shall copy thee:
Our lisping infants shall pronounce thy name,
In songs our virgins shall repeat thy fame,
And taught by thee the art of war, our swains
Shall dye with British blood Columbia's plains.
Viominills, (heroic brothers) too!
Unfading laurels now await for you,
And all the noble youth, who in your train,
In search of glory crofs'd the Atlantic main.
Bleft with sweet peace in Sylvan shades retir'd,
Our future bards (by your great deeds inspir'd)
In tuneful verse shall hand this sera down,
And your lov'd names with greatful honours crown.
EMELIA.
AMSTERDAM, Aug. 14.
The following declaration, supposed to be of the
Prince, was issued by order, in the news papers :
" AS pains are taken to draw the publick into an
opinion, that the vessels of the Meuse (Rotterdam)
and of Middleburg (Zealand) at firft had orders to
join the squadron of the Texci, (only thole of Am-
Iterdam) had afterwards received counter orders as
it is given out in some cities, and which is propagated
(God knows With what design) it is to us a particu
lar Satisfaction to be able to allure the publick, from
autheutick information, and even from the supreme
authority, that inch assertions are deflitute of all
foundation, and absolutely contrary to the truth •
that the orders given were never revoked, but on the
Contrary repeated more than once to the vefftls of
the Meuse, to join the convoy of the Texel, whuh
could not be executed, because it did not please Pro
vidence to grant a wind, and the other favourable
circumstances necessary to this effect, while the pro
vince of Zealand, threatened at the fame time with
an attack from an £nglifh squadron, would not wil
lingly have seen diminished the number of veffcls
which lay at that time in their road. It is never
theless much to be regretted, that circumstances have
not permitted us to render the Dutch squadron fuf
ficicntly Itroug, to have obtained over the enemy a
victory as ufeful, as it was glorious."
LONDO N, August 10.
A new board of finance is established at Peters
burg whose only bulinels is to receive proposals, and
coniider of means of increating the Imperial revenues
without injuring the fubjeCt. When the Prelent
Empiels came to the crown, the Ruffian revenue
did not exceed four millions neat into the Imperial
treaiury ; it now produces lix without a new tax beine
laid. 6
They write from Hanover, that the last leturn
makes the troops ol the electorate consist of 24,c00
nicn, (of which near 4coo arc 111 the garriloii) and
ten regiments oi militia, independent of the troops
abroad in the lervice of England.'
Advices from Madrid fay, •'The King is so deter
mined to have Gibraltar, that he has ordered the
whole fleet to be lent against it. Eleven ships are
fitted up with beds, and mortars of a large bore
Upwards ol 7000 men have joined the camp, and a
very large tram ol heavy battering cannon, large
mortars, &c. with 500 of the corps d'ArtilJerie ft
is said there are upwards of 400 pieces of cannon in
the field.
A Captain of a ship arrived from Lisbon gives an
account, that 011 his passage he saw a Spanish man
ol war on fire, that he hoilted out his boat to their
afliftance, but before they could reach the ship the
flames communicated to the powder-room, blew up
the ship, and all on board perifhed.'
Letters from Goree mention, that an epidemical
distemper has tor some time raged at Senegal, which
had proved very fatal to a great number of the inha
bitants, especially to the French troops that were
in garrilon.
ExtiaCtOi a letter from Cork, August 6.
" Last Ihurfday arrived at Cove, the brig Pallas
Captain Ilaac Kelfick, from Workington to this
place, with coals; on the 27th ult. he was taken
about one league from the Saltees by the Fanny pri
vateer lugger, Patrick Dowlin, ma st er , mounting
16 guns (who failed from Dunkirk) and ransomed
for 500 guineas; tome of the crew of the privateer
told Captain Kelfick's men that they had 25 ranso
mers on board, and that their ransom bills amoun
ted to near 40,000.1.
" Last Friday four men were committed to the
county gaol, one of them an officer belonging to the
Tartar private ihip of war of France, and others pi
lots belonging to Crookhaven. They were found
reconnoitering the S. W. coast of this kingdom, in
order to cut out the vefTels there, having laid a
icheme for that purpose. They intended cutting
out a Dutch prize lying in the harbour of Baltimore,
on the night of the day on which they were taken by
Capt. Donovan, of his Majesty's Revenue cruizer."
Yesterday advice was received from Bamff, in Scot
land, that the crew of a Dutch privateer had landed
at Murray Frith, and began to plunder the inhabi
tants, but the alarm being given, a body of High
landers, armed with broad-swords and pistols, came
down tuddenly upon them, and made the Dutch
pay dear tor their landing, 20 of them being killed
and left on shore, and many more it is supposed
wounded: Upwards of 100 landed.
~ letter from Sunderland brings advice, that four
fail of loaded colliers bound to Plymouth, are all
taken by two Dutch frigates and carried into the
Texel ; the Captains would have ransomed their ves
sels, but were told that the cargoes in a few weeks
would be acceptable in Holland, and the vessels were
wanted for transports.
The following is thought to be pretty nearly the
number of seamen now employed in the navies of
the several powers, exclusive of those employed by
the belligerents in the transport service, viz. Great-
Britain 116,546. France 98,230. Spain 50,375.
Holland 19,260. Sweden 10,430. Denmark 9240.
Ruffian 14,960.
The East-India company have several stout armed
vessels in the East-Indies for the protection of their
trade, some of which carry 40 guns; The Prince
William of 32, and the Tartar of 28, are gone to a
station there for the fame purpose.
Sick quarters are ordered on shore at Shernefs for
all the wounded men on board of Admiral Parker's
squadron, and every possible care to be taken for
their recovery.
