E, tie Captains Holland, Watson, and Loring from
London ; and Captain Scot, from Belfaf, <we have
the following Advices, vise.
From the GROYNE, April 5.
THE fleet which has just failed from Ferrol was'
this morning plainly seen from hence. It con
fills of fifteen fail, viz. Two fllips of the line, three
frigates, five flutes, three bomb-ketches, and two
transports. Besides a large number of marines, this
fleet has on board the two regiments of Toledo and
Savoy, each of two battalions, and an hundred men'
of the Royal corps of artillery. We don't yet
certainly know the objeft of this armament. Its firft
destination is only for Cadiz, where, it seems, it
is to join a much larger force.- .
' Paris, May 2. Four hundred of the corps of ar-,
tillery have been sent from Auxerre to quell the in-;
furreaion at Dijon. A battalion of the regiment ;of„
Aunis is likewise ordered thither from B.efancon, and
will remain there whilst the Prince of Conde is hold
ing the hates of Burgundy.
LONDON,
May 10. It is calculated that the King of Prussia
has at this Time in Prussia, Silelia, and Pomerania,,
not less than 60,000 effective Men, who could be
brought into the Field on the Shortest Warning;
And what might not be expected from so formidable
an Army, if the following Character of its Com
mander, be true, as given some 1 ears since by Mi.
Mitchell : “ Such Intrepidity beams from his Eye
" as strikes theboldeft Soldier with an awful Terror."
If his Majesty goes into Germany this Summer,
as some about him affirm he will, he has other
Views beside Pleasure in the Journey; and the
Welfare of this Nation i§ the principal one-tlie
Support of the Honour, -Ease, and Happiness of the
Q,' n °1 Denmark, the next, In order to facilitate
this consequential Business, an Interview is intended
to be had between him andthe Kings of Denmark
and Prussia. A Minority Lord, a Favourite of the
fall-mentioned Monarch, is laid to have had a prin
cipal Hand in this grand Schepie.-- 7
The report of a Spanish War gains Ground
zmongft the molt intelligent Kind of People so much,
t'nat ’tis thought not all the Concessions of the Falk--
land Island Ministers will be able to prevent it.
Authentic Letters from Berlin mention, that the
King of Prussia is so buly in his private Closet, that
be hardly takes Time to eat his Meals at the usual
' HoUrs. They.add, that every Circumflance at their
Court Strengthens the Suspicion of an approaching
War.
May ill We are assured from good Authority,
'that the great Preparations of Spain are continued
'-with unremitting Diligence; that 300 Transports,
victualled fur three Months, are ready in the Port of
Ferrol; that the Walloons and Irish in the Spanish
Service, together with several Regiments formed opt
of the Mountaineers of Galicia, are already arrived
near Ferrol ; that the Fleet of Spanish Ships of the
Line, destined to convoy the Transports, had their
Sails.bent in the Harbour of Carthagena when the
Express came away ; and that tlie Spanish Court
assured Lord Grantham this great Force (preparing
IN THE Atlantic) is defined to cbaftife the petty
States of Barbary in the Mediterranean.
Another Correspondent informs us, that the Office
of Marine at Madrid has been lately robbed of
Copies of the various Dispatches to the different Ports
of Spain ; that the E h Am r was firft
fufye&ed, but that they now find the Thing was done
by the Portuguese Minister to procure Intelligence
concerning the real Destination of the present Arma
ment. Some however are of Opinion, that the
whole is a Fiftion, calculated to lull into Security the
Nation destined to be attacked.
Yesterday Lord Cambden gave Notice in the
House of Lords,'that he Should make a Motion on
Wednesday next, in confeqpence of a Petition from
the Settlers of Quebec against the late Aft for regu
lating the Government of Quebec, and desired the
Lords might be summoned accordingly.
In the House of Commons Yesterday Mr. Burke
gave Notice of a Motion relative to America on
Tuesday next, and required that the Members Should
be summoned to attend. It is to he founded on a
Petition from the Inhabitants of New-York. At
the fame Time Sir George Savile gave Notice, that
he should present a Petition on the fame Day from
the Settlers' at Quebec, against the A& of the last
Sefiion of the last Parliament for regulating the
Government of Quebec.
The Motion of so much Expectation in the Upper
House, relates to the Petition from New-York, which
is likely, it is said, to be better received by the Lords
than the Commons.
Every Friend to the true Interests of his Country,
and whose Humanity is not confined to particular
Obje&sf must-dread 'the expected News of a Battle
in America. In a Victory over a natural Enemy, if
a Thousand of the Vanquished drop by the Sword,
we feel for them with only a common Christian
Commiseration ; but to read a formal “ Lift of the
Killed and Wounded" of our Fellow Subje&s,
effected by the Caprice of a wicked Ministry, must
be piercing to such who have liberal and humane
Sentiments.
Tho' the American Soldiery perhaps may not be
so regularly disciplined as the King's Troops, yet it
must be considered that there is a very material
Difference between a Man who fights for his natural
Liberty, and the Man who only tights because he is
p^id for it; The former defends himfelf in a just
Cause ; the latter is the mere Dupe of Power: The
former is animated by the Zeal of his Attachments
tothe public Weal ; the latter has no Attachments
at all, except to his Pay for Slaughter and Bloodshed.
The Nancy, Smith, and the York, Linfey, both
from New-York for London, are put into Falmouth,
after very short Passages ; they sent their Dispatches
up immediately by Express.
. Lord North's Tone is strangely altered lately.
Last Year he positively declared that the French and
Spaniards, would not be able to go to War in ten
Years. In January he tells the Parliament they were
in good Condition for a Rupture ; but he assured
them it was not in the lead the Design of France or
Spain t& break the Peace; -now .his Lordffiip as
strenuously asserts, they have really been preparing
for several Months part.
Another dangerous Imufreaion 'is said to have
lately happened atPalcrmo, in Italy. This is looked
on as a very Periods Affair by the Spanish Court, and
will, in all Likelihood, divert their Attention that
Way for some Time. ~ ._.
Them is now a Mifunderftahding; between the
Kirfg of Flange ^d the Pitycps of ihe # Blood, in

The fate Duke of Newcastle scrupled not to
acknowledge Colonel Washington and Major Rogers
“ two of the bravest and most experienced Officers in
the King's Service." The Colonel is now in his
own Service ;. and if he could fight so courageously
for his King, there is no Doubt of his displaying a
redoubled Valour for himfelf.
of their Intention todeave th^ Metropolis for some
Months, and retire to some distant Place, that they
may not honour him with their Company- at his
Coronation.
’ May 12. The petitions from New-York and
Pennsylvania, which were to have been presented
yesterday are put oft till Monday.
A'Correfpondent assures us, that notwithstanding
,he many,repeated Accounts pretended to have been
, received of an Engagement between our Troops and
•the Americans ^ncf the mighty Threats thrown out
.by Government, nothing but the most pacific Mea
sures will be pursued, not an Officer there, having
fighting Orders, the Ministry here, contemptible as
they .may feein, and really are, knowing ninth better
than to bring Matters to extremities.
Another Account assures us, that the celebrated
Dr. Franklyn is gone over with full Powers in his
Pockets to fettle Matters with the Americans at the
Congress.
Certain advice is received of the Spanish Fleet
being tailed from Ferrol to the Number of 20 Ships
Strong, with two Regiments, a Draught from the
Royal Corps of Artillery and a large Number of
Marines on board. The Destination of this Fleet,
as pretended, is only for Cadiz, to join there how
ever a much larger Force. At all Events it behoves
Government to look about them.
They write from Guernsey, three French Men of
War, with upward of 30 Sail of Vessels under Con
voy, pass'd, by that Island the 4th inst. about Eight
o'Clock in the Evening, and that they were ribtali
out of Sight the next Morning at Day-break.
May 14. -They,write’ .from Hamburgh, that his
Prussian Majesty has cau fed fix Frigates to be b'uil't
at Stettin, .three of which are to fail for Spain to pur
chase Cargoes, of Salt, which are- to be vended' ip
New-Pruffia.and Poland#
By the Mail from Flanders, the failing cf the
Spanish Fleet from Ferrol is confirmed. ^ :
May 15. . It is now believed that Spain will take
the lead in breaking peace with Great-Britain, from
which France will derive two advantages ; ’firft, by
Shewing the.neceffity. of fulfilling, her engagementsl
with Spain ; Secondly, by uniting the several difeor-|
, dant interests in the Court anti-Cabinet in onegreat.j
principle, that of Setting limits' to the dange^us,l
growing power of Great-Britain, and interruptingl
and chaftifmg her for the infolept claim of dominion p
they,pre tend, (lie at prefect exercises over the whole|
commercial world. # '
The Portuguese Minister, it. is said, affeffi to be
greatly alarmed on account of the naval armaments
going on in the several• ports .and. dock-yards "of.
Spain ; but this is looked upon by those who are
well acquainted with the insidious temper ~of the
Court of Lisbon, designed merely as a fineffe to mis !
lead Great-Britain, and to betray its . Minifas into ,
a fatal fecurityl
. Nothing now prevents a rupture between ,his
country and every branch of the House of Bourbon,
but the disagreements fubfiftingjn the . French Royal
family, and the unsettled, divided date of the French
Cabinet.',
Accounts of an extremely disagreeable and alarm
ing nature, it is laid, have , been received fr,QU) more
: than one part of the Continent of Europe, vy@in
tlurfe few days.
;Very great debates and late nights are expected in
>both Houses of Parliament this weg r 1
It is now generally believed that the Parliament
will continue fitting a week longer than was at firft
expected ; that is, till Thursday the firft of June.
There is advice from Gibraltar, that the Spinpfa,
a Spanish frigate, had put in there with a corsair of
Saline, taken after a most dreadful engagement of
three hours, wherein all the crew of the latter, which
consisted of 200 men, were killed, except 13.
There is now the greatest quantiy of foreign corn
in the port of London ever known at one time.
A Correfporident 'obferves, that from theprefent Pro
cedures oj several European Princes, it Jbould seem
that the Amusement of a King confifls in making' the '
World unbappy. The Spanish Monarch has .declared:
War against the Algerines ; the Emperor of Morocco, l
also, avo^ws bimfelf the Enemy of the Dey of Algiers ;,;
the King of Prussia is diligently augmenting bis Forces,!
as ij meditatingfome signal Bloav ;th King of France ;
is preparing a formidable Fleet ; and the King of Great
Britain is at the Eve of a War nvitb bis^a Subjects. \
Extract, of a Letter from the. Hague, Ma, 10.;
" The peace between fyain and Morocco was j
news not very agreeable to this Republic, as our|
merchantmen will now be. exposed to the rage of the j
Corsairs, and the Emperor of Morocco will be ni&fe ;
at ease to c^iry on the. war, again# the UniteiLStatbs|
with rigour; in tlie'm^n famejri> more aftohifhin^'
to find that the armament in Spain continues withl
the utmost speed. The like preparation to a generall
armament is observed in every lea port of Er;?nee, I
where the Royal order is expe&ed every day.
" fl hey write from Vienna, that the Emperor,l
previous to his setting out from Court, has promoted
thirteen Lieutenant Field-Marshals, and that everyl
thing has the appearance of an approaching war.
" Letters from Warsaw mention; that the great-;
est consternation reigns at that Court; that all the :
Ministers of the Crown infill that they will not de-j
pend from the Council permanent ; niatters became
so dangerous, that the King was obliged to summon
a Privy Council at two o'clock in the morning on
the 18th ult.
“ The King of Prnffa, in order to usurp the
whole commerce, has published an edi&, that none
of his fubj'e&s fliall in future visit the fair of Leipzic,
under very severe punishment."
May 20. At five o'clock Mr, Burke brought up
and presented a Remonstrance and Reprefenration
from the Assembly of the Colony of New-York, the
main purport of which is directed against the pro
priety of taxing the American Colonies in the British
Parliament. As soon as the Remonstrance was read
by the Clerk, Mr. Burke moved that the fame be
referred to a Committee, and Lord North moved an
ameridment. A debate now ensued, which continued,
till half after seven o clock, when thequeftion being
put on the amendment, the Home divided, Ayes
186, Noes 67.
Upon which a short Debate ensued, and the prin
cipal Speakers were, for the Amendment, Lord
North, Mr. Cornwall, Mr. Jenkinfon, Mr. Aubrey
and Mr. I homas Walpole; against it, Mr. Cruger,
Mr. T. Townfhend, Mr. C. Fox, Mr. Burke, Go
vernor Johnson, and Serjeant Adair.
i/lr. Burke introduced the Business in a short and
pathetic Speech, and was answered by Lord North
i n ? ver y plausible Manner ;to which Mr. Cruger
replied with much Spirit and Eloquence ; and the
Debates upon the whole were very interesting and
entertaining.
The following was the amendment proposed by
Lord North on Monday last, on the Representation
and Remoihlrance from New-York, presented to the
House by Mr. Burke: ~
, As soon as the A& of the 6th of George 111. was
called for and a clause read, it was moved, after the
word Remonstrance to insert, " In which the said
Assembly claim to themselves rights derogatory to,
p Yellerday a petition from the Protestant inhabitants
lof Quebec was presented to the Houfe-of Commons
by Sir George Saville. This occasioned a warm
debate, in .which Sir George Saville, Sir William
Meredith, I^id North, Mr. Fox, Mr. Adam
Drummond, Mr. Sawbridge, Mr. Turner, Colonel
Barre, and Mr. Burke, were Speakers, At half
after ten the question (which during the course of the
debates had been frequently called for) was put,
when the House divided ; the numbers were, for the
j motion 86, against it 174.
Ma, 23, If'is said that on Thursday his Majesty
{ will go to the House of Peers, and close the present
jfeffion with a Speech from the Throne.
I It is talked that the celebration of the King's birth

I ; The want of corn is so great all over France, that

in any French port during the above period. The
p above bounty to be immediately paid by the King's
; gOfficers in the refpe&ive ports in that kingdom.
I By letters from Capt. Bond, of the Charming
I Betsy, who was obliged to put into Guernsey by stress
[ of weather on the 12th instant, we learn that when he
left Lisbon a few days before, a war with Spain was
deemed inevitable, and that the Fortuguefe were
making preparations ;to stand on their defence. He
fays their navy consists at present of only thirteen
men of war and three frigates.
Intelligence is arrived from Paris, that the King
difyatched orders to all his sea ports to be put in a
state of defence immediately. Similar orders have
been given by the Court of Spain, which puzzles our
mrift experienced politicians greatly, they not being
able even to guess at the designs of those powers.
t Letters from divers parts of Spain fay, that peace
is absolutely upon the point of conclusion with the
Moors, on account that that Kingdom will be engaged
in a war very soon with one of the European, powers.
Briflol, May 11. The Charming Peggy, Captain

The Spahifli Ministry have given tire frongeft
Afiurances to the British Ambassador at Madrid, that
the Armament now fitting out-in the different Ports
of Spain, " is not intended to a& againfl Great-Britain
“ or her Coloniet."
A correspondent, on whose Authority we can rely,
informs us, that the Destination of the Spaniffi
Squadron lias at length been difeovered. It is
intended to rendezvous at Cadiz, and to fail from
thence dire&ly for the Rio de Janeiro in'South-
America, where the Spaniards and Portuguese have
been at War for several Years, and the latter have
generally had the Superiority.'
Thursday night an express arrived with the news of
the death of the Queen of Denmark, on the iitli
instant, at Zell, of a fever, aged twenty-three years
and ten months ; die was born the zzd of July 1751.
HOUSE of LORDS, May 19.
The Duke of Manchester preiented a paper inti
tled, A memorial from the House of Assembly of
New-York, and moved that the fame might be read.
A matter of order was now darted, whether it would
be regular to receive the laid Memorial, as his Grace
had not dated the contents, and declined to do Io
farther tnan reading the title and the prayer, desiring
the repeal of certain Afis of Parliament, and praying
redress. Lords Townfhend, Buckingham, and
Denbigh obje&ed to it on Feveral other grounds,
particularly to the very title Memorial, which they
contended was improper, and exprdiive of dilrelpeH
towards the Houle, and a declaiming of its legislative
authority. Lord Sandwich spoke fully to the regu
larity and mode of proceeding and moved an amend
ment, by adding after the word f Memorial," the
contents whereof having not been opened. Ihe
Duke of Richmond differed as to the point of fa& ;
for he ihlitted; that part at lealt of the Contents had
been opened, and moved an amendment to the last
amendment, by adding the concluding words of the
Memorial, which had been read by the Duke of
Manchetter. This gave another turn to the Debate,
and Lord Gower infilled, as his Grace had refufed,
though, often pressed to make knpwn the contents,
his Eordfllip moved another amendment to the question
to amended. The debate now took entirely another
turn ; and a warm debate arose about the manner of
of getting rid of the several amendments, and coining
back to the main question, that the said Memorial
be now read, in which the Lords Mansfield, Camden,
Shelburne, V/eymouth, Dudley, Dartmouth, and
Marchmont, spoke. At length, after four hours
and a half continual altercation, doubt and uncer
tainty, the,queftion was put on. the, motion, ,as
amended by Lor, I Sandwich, which was carried in
the negative without a division ; and the question on
