Subie&s at this Time Serving in the Rebel Army against
their King and Country, who, flung with Ren-,orfe, and
sensible of the Heinousness of such an unnatural Pro
ceeding, would be anxious to return to their Allegiance,
did not their Demerits, before their Arrival in America,
make them doubtful of meeting „h Protean
Support within these Lines. Ido therefore hereby pro
life to all such who shall come in before the above men.
tioned firft Day of June tfwyddition to the

By the Brig Betsey, C^.M'Dou
gall, arrived on Tuesday la#from
Cork, which Place he left the
27th of April, we have thefoh
having Advices, viz.
HAGUE, (in Holland) April 1.
WE are assured that the Minister of their
High Mighrneffcs reading a; Ham
burgh, and their Consul at Dantzic, have writ
ten to the States, ft That the Captains of di
vert Dutch vessels now in those port* save so
licited for letters of marque ; thp.t a great
number of men offer themfeives to embark on
board those ships, and tb^t the major part
desire earnestly to tight under the Dutch flag."
U^'Ttvhich, iris said, their High ^ightinef
fes have requeued the Prince of Orange, as
Admiral General, to expedite the letters of
marque applied for.
A report prevails, that for the future, by
way of indemnity,all kind of English property
laden on board neutral ffiips, shall be seized,
and confifcated.
We are assured that Mr. Van de Parre, Di
re& r of our East India Company, and Mr.de
Boers, Advocate of the said Company, are re
turned from Paris; that the former, with the
approbation of their High Mightinesses, has
there signed a treaty offeniive and defective for
the Dutch East India Company : one of the
conditions of which is, “ That 6 French men
of war, already failed for the Cape of Good
Hope, and which are to be joined by force o
thers from the Bland of Mauritius, shall aflift
in protesting the Cape, and the possessions of.
our Company in the Indies, ;n conjunction
with the fllips of the latter now there.'? We
are aflured that the alliance was concluded the
end of last month ; consequently the Cape is
fafe from every insult; and the more so, as the
Governor forefeeing hostilities has putthe place
in a proper gate of defence, and armed 6,cp
peasants.
,L ONDO N,

thence to Berlin.
The native Inhabitants of Corsica, unable
to struggle with rhe < uelty and oppression of
the French Government, have thrown off all
Obedience to their Go ernors and one uni
versal Commotion and Revolt have actually
taken place. In Consequence of the above
important Information received on Saturday,
a Cabinet Council was held at the Lord Prefi
d@nt's, at which General Paoli attended.
As soon as the Court of France received the
Recount of the Revolt in Corsica, M. Cas
tries dispatched an express to Breit, to flop the ,
Embarkation of the Troops destined for Ame
rica to reinforce M. Rochambeau ; and to hold
thcmfelves in Readiness in Case it Ihould be
determined to employ them 4gainfl: the rebel,
lious Corficins.
General Paoli, the Corfica,n Chief, ,on Sun
