Month since he spoke with Capt. Tweed, in
a Letter of Marque Polacca, belonging to
this Port, who had met with no Success, but

been chafed by two French Men of War of
the Line.
By Capt. Farr, we learn, that on the 19th

England with 2000 Troops on board, under
Convoy of his Majeftj's Ship the Intrepid, of
74 Guns, three Frigates and a Sloop of War,

ammunition, ifores, and pr'ovifions have been
landed from the fleet. The enemy give no

call for no less man 30,000,000 of livres,
which, upon an attempt to borrow, funk all
th• French funds, and makes it absolutely he
ceffary to have tecourfe to the war taxes.
Extrafl of a letter from Madrid, Jan. 14.
“ Courier upon courier have lately been
palling and repalling to and from hence to
Versailles with dispatches relative to a very
consequential misunderstanding that has ari fen
between the two Courts. The idea of taking
Gibraltar is entirely laid aside, and a peace
with England the ardent widi of the mercantile
people. The mob in this city has been very
riotous, and a few evenings since burnt toe
French Admiral, the Count d'Estaing, in effigy.
Warlike preparations Hill continue in the ports
of Spain to be carried on with the utmdtt ala
crity, but the people in general are artfoAJed
at being dragged into a war by the artifices of
the French Miciftry."
