'Vienna, (Austria) November 21. The Great Duke and
Ducheis of Russia arrived here this day in perfect health, ac
companied by his Imperial Majesty in the fame carriage, who
h?.d gone to meet them on the read.
London, December 7. Old Maurepas is dead; the Grand
Monarque has loft by his death a faithful servant, and the peo
ple of France an able minister. The greatest eulogium that
can be made on this nobleman is, that he was recalled from his
retreat into publick life, by a letter which the present King of
France wrote to him, before he had been twelve hours a King.
In this letter, the young Monarch desired he would immedi
ately come to court, to direQ his youthful ffeps in the intrit
cate paths of government, and teach him to reign. The King
made choice of him on account of the great recommendations
he found of that nobleman, among the papers of the late Dau
phin bis father, to whom Compte de Maurepas had always been
strongly. attached; and, notwithstanding tire gre»t disparity of
year,s,between the young King at the beginning of his reign,
and that of Mons. de Maurepas, the one being only 18, the
other 70 years old, the Prince was so well served by him, and
so strongly attached to him, that nothing but death could re
move him from office. Whether his death mas produce a
change of system in France, time only can tell; but England
may find his death an sera in her affairs.
December 8. Advices have been brought from the Cape of
Good-Hope, by the Grahabourg, in fixty-fotir days to Cadiz:
they fay in fabftance, that Mons. de Suffrein had got the start
of Commodore Johnftone, and arriving withhis squadron at
the Cape, had put that fort'refs in a state of defence, which it
was thought would prevent the enemy frohi persevering in an
enterprize, which in all probability must have fuccecdcd, if
France had not taken care to reinforce the garrison witli the
addition of troops and ships. Baron de Pletemberg, Gover
nour ofthe Cape, fpeaksin very high terms of Comte Conway,
of the discipline observed by his troops, and the many good
dispositions he has made, for the further security ofthe place.
This Comte Conway is an Irish Gentleman', who formerly
commanded a company in the Duke of Berwick's regiment in
France, and after having attained to the rank of Colonel by
brevet, he went over to America, where he was appointed a
Major-General by the Congress, and signalized himfelf on
many decafions, but in none so much as at the affair of Ben
nington, to the success of which he 'principally contributed';
and thereby, in fact, compelled General Burgoyne to lay
doWfrliis arms at Saratoga. He had not been long in America
before he manifefted the highest contempt for Mr. Washington,
and most of the other rebel officers. This produced a duel be
tween him and onc of them ; and occasioned his returning to
France, chagrined at having been in a service which he so greatly
despised.
December to. Friday morning'a packet was received at the
Admiralty from Lieutenant Parker, commander of his Majes
ty's: armed Ship the St. Philips's Caftte, containing advices of
his having conveyed a body of Corlican recruits into Port
Mahon, under fire of the enemy's batteries, without receiving
any damage, although they continued throwing Shells for four
hours. He had also the success to land 30 pipes of wine, and
eight of oil, with a quantity of fruit, for the use of the garri
son ; he further adds, that by order of General Murray, he
had received on board ninety Spaniards, which were taken in
a sally, in order to deliver them to the Spanish Confiil at Leg
horn; as the General had apprehended danger to his Soldiery,
from the ill state of health the prisoners were in. Lieutenant
Parker failed from Minorca the 22d of last month, at which
time the garrison were in perfect health.
Three hundeed and forty flat-bottom boats, of various sizes,
were destroyed in the boat house, on the common to the East
ward of St. Maloes, by fire. It is fupppfed, as it broke out in
four or five different places at the fame time, it was wilfully
set on fire. This cataftrope happened between two and three
o'clock on Sunday morning, the 18th of November. The
boats were not made up.
December 12. Report fays (we pretend not to fay how tru
ly) that Sir Guy Carleton, who distinguished himfelf so emi
nently at Quebeck, is to try his hand in America, aided by an
immense army from Russia; in return for which, some late
demands are to be complied with, and particular privileges
granted to the officers and men. This alliance between the

A large train of light artillery, chiefly three pounders, of
brass, is now in readtnefs at Woolwich, with abundance of
Hores, to be sent to America, Gibraltar, the Weft-Indies, &c.
Friday being St. Andrew's day, the Royal Society held their
anniversary meeting at their apartments in Somerset-place,
Strand, when the President, Sir Joseph Banks, Bart, in the name
of the society, presented the gold medal, called Sir Godfrey
Copley's, to Mr. William Kerfchel, for his difeovery of a new
star. The president on this occasion delivered an elegant dis
course on the great utility of Mr. Kerfchel's difeovery. After
wards tne society proceeded to the choice of the council and
officers for the year ensuing; when on examining the ballots it
appeared that the following gentlemen were ele&ed for the
council:

GAZETTE.
to SATUR DAY, March 9, 1782.
Courts of England and Russia, it is said, has been the chief
ground on which a treaty of peace will be formed between
Holland and this country.
On Sunday last, the Right-Honourable the Earl of Sand
wich, gave a grand entertainment to the Lords of the Admi
ralty, and at the fame time, presented an urn and vase of curi
ous conftruftion, which has been made to perpetuate the
memory of the celebrated Captain Cook, and is to be present
ed to the Empress of Russia, in gratitude for the hospitality,
shewn by an officer of that nation to Captain Cook, in one of
the remote harbours of her Imperial Majesty's dominions, du
ring that officer's attempt to circumnavigate the Ruffian Em
pire. \
A complete regiment of infantry, under the command of &
Raff officer, is under orders for Minorca. Theie are already
two ftaff officers in that island; but a third is thought neces
sary, in case of accident, to preventthe chief command devol
ving on a foreign General.
A gentleman of diftindion at the weft end of the town, ore
Saturday received advice from Paris, that M. de Fleury had
applied for a great sum of money from the principal of the cler
gy, towards defraying the naval expences of the current year,
although Ministry have had from them, since the commence
ment of the war, upon bond, and other securities, a sum not
less than 500,0001. sterling money. The sum wanted now is
150,0001. sterling, upon the security of M. Fleury, M. Neckar;
and M. de Caftraes, at five different payments, all of which
are to be compleated by the 25th of I ^bruary.
Extrafl of a letter from Cork, November 28.
" Orders are received for immediately engaging 2000 tons
of trtinfports here for the service of government. From the
agents we learn there will be a very extensive embarkation of
troops from this kingdom the beginning of February: Great
quantities of provisions are curing, as well on account of the
merchants as the Navy Board."
December 13. On Tuesday last the Commissioners of the
Navy Board, and the Weft-India merchants waited cu Lord
Sandwich at the Admiralty ; the former were admitted to the
Board, and had a long conference ; the latter received every
assurance of the efforts of Government, both for the security
of their possessions and property abroad, and for a fufficient:
convoy to escort their ships to their refpe&ive destinations.
Yesterday morning about ten o'clock; an express arrived at
the Poft-office, with an account of the death, about nine
o'clock on Tuesday night, of the Right Honourable Francis
Dafhwood, Lord Le Defpencer, Premier Baron of Englands
Lord Lieutenant, and Cuftos Rotuldrum of Buckinghamshire,
Joint Postmaster- General, &c.
December 14. General Paoli, the celebrated Corsican chief;
of whom we have heard so little difeourfe lately, is said to be
at this time at Mahon with General Murray ; by th 9 means the
garrison have received reinforcements from the male-contents
of Corsica, who are not yet reconciled to the French Govern
ment.
Monday last being the anniversary of the institution of the
Royal Academy, a general assembly of the Academicians was
held at the Royal Academy, Somtrfet- Place, when Philip
James De Loutherbourg, Esq; was admitted an Academician,
and received his Diploma, signed by his Majesty: three silver
medals were given, one to Mr. Peter Holland, for the best
drawing of an Academy figure; one to Mr. Charles Rcffi, for
the beftmodel of an Academy figure; one to Mr. George:
Hatfield, for the best drawing of Architecture, being the front
and spire of St. Giles's in the fields, done from actual measure•
ments.
The Assembly then proceeded to ele& the officers for the year
ensuing, when Sir Joshua Reynolds was re-elected President.
They write from Amsterdam, that the Hotel in which Sir
Joseph Yorke lived at the Hague, is still unoccupied, and the
proprietor still refufes to let it, it being generally believed that
Ambassador will return to Holland in the spring.
December 15. Yesterday Lord Rawdon was at the levee at
St. James's, for the firft time since his arrival from France and
America.
December 18. The Dutch begin to grow a little jealous of
the Spaniards, because the latter are endeavouring to eftablilh
commercial correfpondeheies in countries, with which trey
hitherto had little or no connexion. This breaks in upon the
Dutch plan of carrying merchandize for all other powers, but
particularly for Spain, who hitherto has been so little industri
ous, as to have her European trade carried on chiefly by the
Dutch. Baron Van Haaften, Ambassador from the States Ge
neral to the Porte, has written home, that for some time past
there had been two Spanish Emissaries at Constantinople, who
had frequent conferences with the Reis-Effendi. The Dutch
Minister assures in his dispatches, and with expressions of
alarm, that the object of these conferences was to form a treaty
of commerce between the Forte and Spain ; and that the affair
was already so far advanced, that, notwithstanding all the op
position he had given to it through the medium of his Drago
man, he feared it would be brought to the wished for conclu
sion, to the very great prejudice of the trade of the Republick.
The business of Duke Lewis, of Brunswick, still continues
to be a bone of contention with the Dutch; he is the apple of
difeord among the provinces; and Holland is making every
effort to drive him from the Council of the Stadtholder. The
following eight cities of the province of Holland, viz. Amster
dam, Dordrecht, Haerlem, Leyden, Delft, Rotterdam, Gor
cum, and Schudam, had some time ago, addressed the States
General to revoke their resolution of the Bth of September, ini
favour of the Duke; and, since that period, they have given
inftruftions to the Deputies from the province of Holland, in
the Assembly of the States-General, notto enter into any final
resolution with, or concur with the States in any measure
relative to that fubjedt, without the express and special autho
rity oftheir constituents. However, this condu& of the pro
vince of Holland has been strongly opposed by that of Gronin
gen, which has firmly supported the Duke's cause.
