L 3 N D O N, August 19.
Admiral Geary is hourly expected to arrive
at Spi head, where his continuance will be
but for a very short period, as his orders are
to Proceed again to sea as soon as the fleet has
taken in a proper supply of frefn provisions and
water. On his arrival he will be reinforced
with several ships cf the line.
At tire fame time Baron Buefch, lately ar
rived from Hanover, was presented, and molt
graciously received.
Yeflerday the Earl of Hillfborough was pre
fenc at the Levee at St. James's, for the firft
time since the death of his Countess. His
L rdflrip was with the King but a ihort time,
J retired soon afterwards.
Orders have been iranfn\itted nom the Ad
miralty to Admiral Drake, who.commands in
the Downs, to render the Ruffian Admiral every
aCiftance he may Hand in need of.
The Spanish squadron that formed a junc
tion with Mons. de Guichen, have certainly
withdrawn themselves to the Havannah, with
a view, as is generally imagined, of making a
powerful defeent on the Aland of Jamaica.
Yederday morning there was a meeting of
fcveral of the Foreign Ministers, at the Hotel
in St. James's-ftreet, after which the Ruffian
Ambassador had a conference with Lord Hillf
borough, at his office in Cleaveland-row.
sh? Lords of the Admiralty have put his
Majelly's ship Monsieur, of 40 guns, now at
Portsmouth, into commission, and the com
ward is given to Capt. Charles Phipps.
Sunday lad the Baltic fleet, under convoy of
the Three Sitters, and Alfred armed ships, ar
rived in Leith roads. Weare informed twelve
Ruffian men of war accompanied them half
way from the Sound, and got each a pilot from
the merchantmen, who are to receive a guinea
a day, per man.
The Dutch have been so much on their
guard since the spirited conduft of government
in refpeft to naval stores that not a ship has
left the Texel since that time with any warlike
commodity for our enemies.
The lift of the Ruffian fleet, just announced
in the public prints, must impress one impor
tant truth on the mind of every reader, which
is, that although Russia is fertile in men, it is
not so in regard to naval officers: out of the
fifteen ships of the line, Jour of them are com
manded by British officers, as are also tmo of
the four frigates. Thus we have not only
taught them the road to maritime power, 'bat
even now, in this critical situation, fix Britons
conduct their ships to serve our enemies.
It has ever been the fate of Britain to have
her services repaid with ingratitude; and to
fee those who owed most to her, not only look
Quietly on, while others attacked her, but
basely join her affiilants,and aid them in their
attempts to undo her. —•
The Sovereignty of Holland was established
thro' the abidance of England ; and tho' the
. Dutch have been rescued from Spanish slavery
b/ the valour and treasure of Englishmen, yet
they have refund to give us the fuccour dipu
bocd bv a solemn treaty : nay, they have sent
Plenipotentiaries to Peterlburgh, totreat upon
a confederacy with Russia in the infamous
plan or an armed neutrality.
The Emprejsfueen owes to us the thrones on
which she fits : attacked in Aullria, Bohemia,
Silesia, nay almost every where by France,
Russia, Prussia, and several Princes of the
Empire, die was Supported by George lid.
who united his flandard with the German
Eagle, fought all her battles, and did not de
sist, till he saw her acknowledged the sole heir
of her father the Emperor Charles the Vlth.
Her Majed,, however, has since that closely
united herfelfwith the enemies of her house:
ihe has given her daughter to France, con
federated with Russia, and left her beriefac
trefs, England, open to every assailant —
America, that we planted with our fubje&s ;
cherithed wi,h cur treasure, and defended
with cur blood from the depredations of France
and Spain, has railed her arm against us ; and
leaguing herfelfwith her own natural enemies,
Hie has invited them to assist her in iheathing a
sword in the bosom offer parent.- —
Charles King of Spain, when only Prince
Don Carlos, felt the force of our friendship :
we sent a squadron cf men of war to carry him
and 6coo dp, nifh troops to Italy, to enable
him to take pofleflinn of the Grand Dukedom
cf Tuf^any, during the lifetime of the last
Grand Duke- of the House of Medicis. And
now, without provocation, this felf feme Don
Carlos is making every effort, and draining
every n rve to dettroy that very navy which pro
cured him a sovereignty in Italy, when being
only a second son, he was not likely to inherit
any thing more from his father than an eftab^
lilh ment for the support of his houfhold.
Eufa, in the late war she had to fuffain
againit the Sultan, experienced every mark of
the most sincere attachment from Britain.
We gave her officers to navigate her flips, and
Admirals to command her fleets ; we opened
our ports to receive her squadrons, and as
s rd^d every material necessary to their men
cf war, while we lupplied them with every
thing that they wanted for their crews; and
this at a time when France and Spain either
Lad their ports totally shut against the Ruffian
ships, or received them with a fallen counte
norcein the moment of a dorm. This very
Russia has been the. firft to set on foot a plan
for an armed neutrality, calculated entirely
for the assistance of France and Spain, and the
dedruttion of Great-Britain.
^^eden too joins in this confederacy ; for
getful cf the squadron we sent to her assistance
in ,he firft year cf her 'Twelfth Charles's reign,
Mien she was ready to fall under the com
bined power cf Denmark, Poland, and Russia.
Our squadrons soon made the Danes renounce
all hopes of taking Stockholm; and soon
brought their Sovereign to sue to Charles for
peace. A
Such have been the services of Britain to all
these powers! Such their return! Is England
fated to be forever connected only with Ingrates ?

NEW-YO R K, O&o. 28.
The following paragraph having been this
week published in several of the New-York
papers, " The French fleet, under the command
of the Comte de Guichen, returned to the Cape,
confining of 20 fail of the line, and feme few of
them con^c^ed their fleet for Old France," the
Printer is enabled, from the most refpeclable
authority, to contradict the above account of
the course of the French squadron, as certain
accounts are received that the Comte de Gui
chen with 17 line of battle ships, proceeded
forwards on his course for Cid France, his
squadron having been so greatly injured in
the several actions last summer with that
under the command of the Rear Admiral
of Great-Britain as to make an aban
donment of the Windward Islands, and a re
turn to their European ports, absolutely
aeceffary to their future exigence, it being
with the utmost difficulty most of them could
keep the lea.---In addition to the above cc
clairciffement, we can confidently add, that
Mons. de Monteuil, after feparatin^ from the
Comte de Guichen, returned with eight fail
of the line to Cape Francois, where they have
experienced a most severe hurricane, which
very much distressed them.
