Farther Advices by the Greyfcurd।
Packet.
LISB ON, September 6. I
f¥ HE Parliament of England having made|
an a& greatly in favour of our trade and |
navigation, the following three articles have
been published, by way of fupplenient to a
former publication:
First, From the 21st of May, and as long as
the said id (hall continue in force, all Portu-;
guele fubjed!, as well those fettled in the ports :
ffthis kingdom, as in the Azores Inlands and 0
Madeira, aie permitted to load for England and
Ireland all forts of merchandise or product of
the kingdom, islands, colonies, and dominions
of Portugal.
Secondly. That from the fame day, and for
the fame tern, it (hall be permitted to transport
to England, Scotland, and Ireland, and their
drpendencies, all forts of flax, thread, Souda,
&c. provided it be in vcffels belonging tothefe
kingdoms, or to those powers in friendship
with Great Britain, whether the crews be
foreign or not.
Thirdly. Ail merchandise loaded on board
cf foreign, vessels for England, in consequence
ofthe said atl, are to pay all the duties efta
btifhed in the port where they (hip said goods.
Marfilfrs, Sept. 16. The cartel ship the
Fhcenix, Capt. Eries, arrived in this port yes
terday from Minorca. She left Fornella on
the 13th ioft. and had on board a number cf
French prisoners, sent off by the Governor of
Fort St. Philip, or found in the island, as also
feme Erglifh Ladies, who fled with their
famines from the inevitable ineonveniencies
cf a liege. Welearn by this ship that on the
13th, when they left Fornella, a convoy also
failed from thence to Barcelona to take on
board a reinforcement of troops and a train of
heavy artillery ; that the Spanish troops were
occupied in railing two batteries to defend the
entrance of Port Fornella; that they were
conducting Mohor feme pieces of heavy
artillerv, ard that the Duke de Ciillon was
come to view' those works. It is reported that
the enemy have evacuated Fort Philipet, which
the Dulce de Cribon does not think of
ercepyirg, as being equally useless to the
besiegers and the besieged, that fort being
uneei the command of the garrison.
Mat:#, Sept. 8. General, Murray having
perceived that every night feme troops of the
Spanish marine mixed among the French
volunteers, wentto take from under the can
non of the garrison feme frigates and other
VefEls which had taken refuse there; ordered
13 vessels, which run the fame danger, to be
funk; and hath formed with them a kind of
cirri, , which bars the port on our fide; but he
deprives himfelf at the fame time of the means
of receiving any succors whatsoever, unless the
wind Avoid be uuc< inmonly favourable for the
Pops which mr.mp to enter; and when our
General fbalihave received the heavy artillery,
wb.ch he expect:, one single battery, erected at
a prince which he has appointed, will absolutely
prevent the entrance of any (hips which may
attempt to residual the garrison.
Em^ur, Sept. 2 . Yederday arrived here
20 English merchant (hips from London, and
11 from Scotland ; end yesterday 25 or 30 other
vessels fee fail for the North Sea.
Tie Swedish squadron, composed of fix
Clips of rhe line and one frigate, under the
comm?- d of Admiral Grube, failed from hence
the loth inC for Cartferoon. It is supposed that
they will net renew their Cruize this year in
the North Sea. The Danish squadron appears
likewise to have firri Shed his cruise for thisyear,
as all the vessels which compose it are returned
to Copenhagen.
Hamburgh, Sc/f. 18. A report prevails, that
in the next election of a King of the Romans,
the choice will fall on the Grand Duke of
Tefcany, and it is even pretended that this
affair is to a g-eat measure fettled. They talk
ofa ninth Electorate on this occasion. Wur
temberg. Stuttgard, and Hesse Caffel, are
talked of,
l.^horn, Sept. 12. The English cutter the
Falcon arrived here this day from Gibraltar in
20 cays. The Capt. reports, that when he
was off Minorca, he saw and heard a heavy
lire of a-trilery on the land fide, and particu-
Lrly rewards the fort of St. Philip.
i^on, Sept. 12. ML de Rosa, the Spanilh
Consul at Marfrillcs, is arrived here with some
infractions from his Court relative to the ap
proaching arrival of the Spanilh ships which
are to take on board our troops for Mahon.
Tide (hips are daily expected, as well as the
regiments, which are to be employed in that
expedition. Every thing is prepared for their
putting to tea as fcon as possible; and in the
mean time the Baron de Salis, Infpe&or of the
troops in Provence, exercises the regiments
hrredaily in performing evolutions, and firing
at a mark.
C^nfanri^.pk, Aug 1!. The Porte hath at
length given cn answer to the representations
made by the Baron de Herbert, Internuncio
from the Court of Vienna, relative to the cap
ture nia^ by the Algerines, of five merchant
men, curving the Imperial Flag. This Mi
niller, not content with having made repre
fentatiors in writing, requeued afterwards a
conference on the fame fubje& with the Reis
Effendi; this interview being immediately
granted him, he renewed, viva voce, his in
fances, that the Porte would procure for his
Imperial Majesty's fubjefis, the indemnificati
on they required: He remonstrated, " that
face tie Imperial Merchants bad laden their
tr erchat<".zes on board those drips on the faith
cf the Fimans cf the Grand Signior, the dig
rdy of the Ottoman Court required that lie
flould oblige the Algerines, who arc fubjeds
of the P%:c, to ©tore the ships with their
whole cargoes." We are informed that the
Reis Effendi replied, "That the Porte was
sincerely disposed to employ all the means in
its power to induce the Regency of Algiers to
a compliance; but at the fame time it could
not be expelled that the Porte Should use a
tone of authority and rigour towards the Al
gerines, as the times were too much altered to
obtain the desired effect by those means."
The result of the conference was, it was a
greed to dispatch from hence a Capigi Bacha
or Chamberlain of his Highness, on board a
caravilie, to Algiers, to reclaim the five Im
perial ffiips, with their cargoes, in the name
cf the Grand Signior. The Capt. Pacha will
likewise be charged to support these claims by
letters addressed to the Dey."
StoHobn, Sept 6. The last advices received
from Admiral Grube, who commands our
squadron, mention, that after lying at an
chor a few days at Flechero, in Norway, he
put to lea again; and that the ships arc in
good condition, and the crews healthy.
Madrid, Sept. 21. Letters from Minorca,
of the Bth and 12th inll advise, that the de
barkation of the principal necessaries for the
support and maintenance of the army, is near
ly effeded; and that all proper measures are
taken to ehablifh, on a solid foundation, tran
quility and good order at Mohon, and in the
rest of the island. The Duke of Crillon, not
having thought proper to subsist the great
number of Greek and Jewifli families which
people that Illand, is preparing to fend them
into some other countries out of our King's
dominions, but not to let them want the ne
cessary supplies dictated by humanity.
In order to maintain good discipline among
the troops, a prevoft's company is formed,
and some companies of dragoons are ordered
to watch over the good of the service. Pre
parations are making for receiving and lodg
ing some fre(h troops which are expelled, and
all the works necessary for securing the domi
nion over the entrance of the port and its
avenues are expeditioudy carrying on.
Toulon, Sept. 23. A few days ago arrived
at Marseilles a Spanish frigate from Mahon,
with some French exchanged prisoners ; by
whom we learn, that two transports, which
that frigate escorted, had on board a number
of Jews, Creeks, and Moors. The Marquis
de Pilles, Deputy Governor of Marseilles,
uould net receive these people before he has
inftrudions from the Marquis de Vogue,
Commandant of the Province, and they are
going to Itally. The French returned from
I Mahon declare, that the Spanilh troops work
iwithout intermission in forming lines, and that
;fort St Philip has fired for three nights some
; bombs and cannon, but without effeft.
OUo. 13. The French have made greater
exertions in the naval line this year than dur
;ing any former period ; they have launched
three new ships of iioguns, two of 80, be
-llides others smaller.
An order cf Council is gone to Brest for all
the firft rate men cf war, in winter cruises, to
carry only 32 pounders upon their lower
decks, and 18 and 24 . pounders upon the
middle gun deck ; moll of them now carrying
56 pounders upon their lower deck, and 32
pounders upon their middle deck. This or
der was occasioned by the Surveyor's report,
that those heavy metal drained the ships too
much, and would fo;n render them unfit for
service.
Ext r afi of a letter from Vienna, Sept. 13.
" The Emperor is daily reftriNing the
power and wealth of the Clergy, and a
bundance of abuses that had crept into the
Church ; he lad week fpeculaiized the rich
Abbey of Santa Dorothea, in Austria, align
ing 4000 flciins a year to it ; and giving each
Monk a pension for his fubfiftance. Three
other rich Abbeys are soon to have the fame
fate. But this spirit of reformation is rot
confined to the Emperor aloe 4 it has extend
ed to the Authian dominions in Italy, where
the Grand Duke cf Tuscany has suppressed
the Moraflery cf San Michelino Vis Domini,
and ereded the Church into a secular reftory,
with such appointments as he thought proper
to annex to it. And that the people may not
want spiritual helps, the Archbishop is to
take card to provide them. The dislodged
Monks have each a proper and convenient
pension assigned to them, besides some move
ables, which they could take with them, and
a sum of money for their travelling expences."
By the special command of his Imperial
Majelly, the chapel for the use of his Ambas
sador in London, is to be (hut on the 30th of
Nov. on which account the Chaplains belong
ing to his Excellency a:c to be difearded.
Advice is said to be received by the Frede
rick Adolphus, a Swedish Indiaman, com
manded by Capta : n Adrian de Calenberg,
which touched at Madras, in her way from
the river Canton in China, about the 28th of
May, that Lord Macartney, in the Swallow
packet, was fp^ke with by a country ship, in
April lad, making for Gambroon to refit,
having met with bad weather, and was ex
pelled at Madras in a month or fix weeks
from that time.
Advices are received from Bergen and Dron
theim, in Norway, that several Dutch Blips
lie there ready loaded for Amsterdam Rotter
dam, and other ports belonging to t:e States,
but cannot fail for want of a convoy ; and it
is thought will not be able to fail from thence
before the Spring, as they have received in
telligence that' some Engliih privateers are
cruising in the North Seas to intercept them.
There are letters in town from Leghorn,
which fay, " That an advice boat was ar
rived there from Mahon, with letters from

Governor Murray, dated the :oth of Septem
ber, by which they learn, that the garrison
were in perfect health and spirits ; and they
were in no dangar of being obliged to finren
der the fortrefs to the Spaniards, having pro
visions fufficient to hold out two months long
er; that they had received advice from
England, that a powerful fleet were coming
to their assistance, and that it was probable at
their appearance, the Spaniards would raise
the siege, as they had learned by two men,
who defected from the Spanish army, that
they were apprehensive that a fleet would be
sent to relieve the garrison, and therefore had
dispatched some (loops of war to give them
notice of their approach towards that port."
Extras cf a Letter from Paris, OR. 7.
" On the 6th inst. an express arrived here
from Madrid, with the following date cf the
Spanilh navy when it entered the port of Ca
diz, and from hence the public may be fully
fatisfied that little assistance can be given by
the Spaniards to the French fleet, in case they
think proper to rifle an engagement with Ad
miral Darby, who, it is generally supposed is
gone to the relief of Gibraltar and Fort St. Phi
lip. They parted company with Count de
Guichen the 4th of September, in the latitude
of 47. 10.
