About twenty paflengers arrived here oi
Tuesday lalt in the (hip l.uterprize, Iron

April. During her passage the Enterprise
was run foul of in the night by a bpamll
frigate of 44 ?<'"*» which damaged ha

as greatly to impede her pro-r-'ls. Ihe pal
fencers above mentioned are moltly t reiich
men, who had relided many years at Ca
diz. several of them having wives'and chil
dren ; hat the king's proclamation obliged
them either to go to jail during the war,
or leave the kingdom. Their ettrtts were
seized, and very little allowed them to pa)
their expellees to America, which they liave
Chosen as an afjlum, during the present
troubles, in hopes hen tliele are at an end
to revilit their families.— At Cadiz, three
valuable French Eafl-India men. wl.c
knew nothing of the war, were seized 1,
the harbour. Intelligence had been re
ceived of the Prussians and Aullrians hav
ing resolved on the blockade ofMayence.
■where they expected to meet with a vigo
rous refdtance, altho' it was thought the
French would ultimately surrender. Ihe
French armv intended to acl againlt - pain,
it was said, was to be commanded by Gen.
Cnlline. A considerable squadron of bii
tilh, Dutch, and Ruffian ships of war we re
expected in a short time at Gibraltar, to be
joined by about 20 lliips of the line trom
Spain, lying ready at Cartha-gena.
