" Twodays since a schooner arrived here
express from the Governor of Gue,nfey to
Lord Shuldham, with an account that 30 fail
of French Transports, full of troops, puffed

on Buckland Down is broke up, and the
South Devon militia are encamped in a field
adjoining the lines, between this plae^ and the
dock ; the Royal Scotch at Maker, the High
landers near Caufand, and the Hampshire near
Pentee-point; upwards of 200 men, ipoilly
sailors, belonging to Kingston and CauUnd
have taken arms as volunteers, audjoined the,
camps. A battery is erecting at Mount Edg
cumbe, where, by permission of his Lordihip
anumber of trees have been felled to raise a
breast-work ; another is ereded at Caufand
and a third on the opposite shore, near the
north corner. A very considerable number of
volunteers are also raised in this town, who are
paid by a subscription of the inhabitants which
already amounts to 10001. and two independ
ent companies, under the command of gen
tlemen who have served in the array, and
now reside here, are formed. In Ihort, the
old English spirit has ffiewn itfelf here in so
peculiar a manner, that we are well prepared to
meet, the Monfieurs and Dons, should they at^
tempt a landing on our shore.
CHATHAM, Odober 26.
The legislature of this state meet at Trenton
this day.
NEW-LONDON, Qd. 13.
Yesterday arrived here tinder jury-masts,,
three large French Ships. They were part of
a fleet of about 60 fail that came out from the
Cape in company with Count d'Eftaing's Squa
dron, bound to France, but on the 15th ult.
in lat. 37, long. 58, they met with a hurricane
that lasted (8 hours, in which time great part
of the fleet were difmatted, and many of chem,
it is feared, were entirely loft.
By a Gentleman of undoubted veracity,
who lately arrived in Town, from the Neigh
bourhood of Albany, we learn that the friends
to Government in that quarter, who are very
numerous, continue as firm and unshaken in
their loyalty as ever, tho' the most unparal
leled cruelty and oppression have been exer
cised over their persons and properties, by the
leaders of the rebellious parr of the Province
of New-York, that many who had heretofore
been wavering and rather inclined to join the
Republican fide of the question, have altered
their sentiments, forefeeing the most fatal conse
quences muff neceflarily be the result of the
alliance formed with the cours of Versailles
and Madrid, who have always been inveterate
enemies tb the Proteildn: reiigig and Han
overian succession; and if the Royal Army
ihould penetrate as far as Albany the world
would be convinced of the firmnefs and una
nimity of theLoyalifts in that 'art of the Pro
vince of New-York ; our Informant adds,
that Mr. Clinton titular Governor of New-York
is exerting his utmost influence, with his mock
Assembly, to raise an armament for subduing
the State of Vermont, but that Ethan Allen
and fifteen hundred of his adherents arc in
arms, ready to receive them, and that if Mr.
Clinton Ihould attempt an attack upon the
State of Vermont he will meet with a warm
reception.,
Monday last was sent in here by his Majef
tyl Ship the Perfeas, and the Delight Brig, a
Letter of Marque Ship from Boston, bound
frr ±. Croix, formerly the Ship America of
this ?ort. a French Vessel from the Southern
Provinces, for the Weft-Indies, and a Virgi
nia Pilot Boat.
Monday lad returned from a Cruise, the
hi^ateer Ship General Tryon, Capt. Ting
ley: Besides the Prizes he sent into Bermuda,
and one that arrived here some Time ago, he
brought in the Snow Basseterre, which he took
the 29ty of September, three Leagues to the
