P ART S, April 14.
1 T>E de net believe that M. de Ternay has
^V faited yet. That squadron is to carry
go) troops, all of whom are embarked , and
Ltce the nth indant all the officers have slept
on board. Letters from Brest of the 12th inst.
mention that the above squadron has received %
orders for failing, and was to put to sea on
the 14th if the wind proved favourable. It is
certain that this squadron carries fuccoars to
the united flares of America.
Pa-is, April 15. The Brest squadron has re
ceived orders to put to sea the firft favourable
wind ; notwithstanding which it may probably
remain force time in the road. 'I he want of
failure greatly retards the armaments.
The Government hath made some altera
tion with refpecl to the expedition designed
for North-America; only fix battalions are to
be sent at present, instead of eight. This
change gives rife to a variety of conjectures
,relative to the destination of this armament.
Hague, April 4. A report prevails, that
Prince de Gallitzin, Envoy Extraordinary from
Qe Empress of all the Ruffias, has received an
express from his Court, with orders to prefect
a memorial to the States General, to invite
their high Mightinesses to join with her Impe
rial Majeity for the protection of commerce
againil all those who may attempt to interrupt
it.
Hague, April 16. The day before yesterday
the Council of War, which met for the trial
of Admiral Count de Byland, with refpedtto
his conduft towards the English Commodore
Fielding, fully justified the conduct of th^t
Officer, and declared him free of blame.
LONDON,
April 18. A declaration will immediately be
published by Government, difannuiling the
treaties hitherto subsisting wijh the United
States of Holland; which, it is apprehended,
will produce a war with that power.

anchors, cables, provisions, &c. and 137 sol
diers, is taken by the Tamer privateer, and
carried into Lisbon. The Unicorn privateer of
Folkftone, has sent into Falmouth, the Louisa
from Bayonne to Brest.
By the Navy Lift it appears, that Great-
Britain has built, since the last peace, no fewer
than 46 frips of the line, besides more than a
double number of vessels of different rates.
The Hedor cutter, a privateer of London,
commanded by Capt. Nicholas Jefperfon, en
gaged, on the 29th of April, at 7 P. M.a 6o
gun French man of war. After a most severe
adion, in whkh the Hector had two men kil
led, and nine violently wounded, besides fuf
ferirg great damage in her niafts and rigging,
she bore away from the enemy, who, notwith
standing their superior force, appeared much
Shattered by the repeated violence ofher broad
sides. The men flood to their arms with the
most astonishing coolness and intrepidity.
April 20. The two Dutch ships taken on the
coast of France by the Emerald and Champion
frigates, are said to have, among other mili
tary stores for the use of the French navy,
about 2CO barrels of gunpowder, and a great
quantity of copper fit for the immediate use of
iheathing.

Extras of a Letter from Madrid, via Oflend,
Larch 10.
“ The last letters from Mexico are full of
very alarming intelligence. The revolt which
broke out the beginning of last year, is very
far from being quelled; on the contrary, the
infargents grow more numerous, and they
have taken polls from which it is almost im
politic to dislodge them. We hope the in
telligence of the Englifn being gone to La
Vera Cruz is not true, as the fleet from thence
this year is expected to be remarkably rich,
since on account of the revolt, all the King's
treasures are to come from Mexico this year
by that conveyance."
The last dispatches from Ireland did not
come over by a common messenger, but were
brought by a member of the House of Com
mons, who has also brought dispatches rela
tive to the civil affairs of that country. The
Declaration of Right will certainly pass the
Commons, as will the repeal of Poyning's
Law, almost every county, city and borough
of eminence having inftrufted their represen
tatives to assist in supporting these measures.
By a letter received yesterday from Dublin,
we are informed that Poyning's Law has been
debated in the House of Commons the,e, and
negatived by a majority of 40.
April 22. Capt. Green, of the Favourite
cartel ihip, arrived at Whitehaven, faysthat
he was informed a few days before he left
Nantz, that Paul Jones was then at L'Orient,
and had the command of a frigate of 36 guns.
He also fays, that all the privateers belonging
to Nantz (of which there were a good num
ber at firft) had been taken by the English
cruizers.
The Beauvais de Auxonne, Capt. La Re
thelnois; a French (hip, bound from Cape
Francois to Bourdeaux, laden with cotton,
coffee, and indigo, is taken by the Preston
man of war, and sent into St. Lucia.
The N. S. Castro Marino Delayamonta,

so far from Mons. Duchaffault having failed
with 17 ships of the line, they have not at

Extrafl cf a letter from Dover, April 24.
“ Early this morning a French (now priva
teer of 10 guns, and 86 men, was taken by the
Folkftone cutter privateer, and brought in here.
She had been out of Dunkirk only a few hours
and was going on her firft cruise. She was jn
chace of a coasting vessel when the Folkftone
fell in with her."
April 29. The Marquis de Prada, who is
probably executed at Paris before this time,
was an active clever fellow, or he never could
have contrived to fer've b^th countries in the
character of spy. His remittances from France
while he resided in England, were so immense,
that he had io,oool. lodged for him at one
time in a capital house in the city : M. Sartine
finding at last that his intelligence preponde-'
rated in Lvour of England, had him appre
hended on his late arrival in Paris.
Late on Thursday night another messenger
arrived at Count Welderen's from the Hague,
which makes eleven since the 17th inst. and

ing.•
The Dunkeiquoife privateer, of 22 nine
pounders and 179 men, taken by the Emerald,
Captain Marshall, and brought into St. Helen's,

ten months ago.
A letter from Ferrol fays, " The Dutch ves
sels sent us from Brest with pitch, tar, hemp
and cordage for shrouds, and flays for lower
masts, have unfortunately fell into the hands
of the enemy ; the Tamer ahd another British
Privateer are gone with them, as we suppose,
for Lisbon. This loss is most severely felt,
especially as they cannot spare any from
Cadiz."
Sir John Lockhart Ross is expeded soon to
hoist his flag at Portsmouth, on board the Bar
fleur man of war, in which (hip he is going,
with a command, on a private expedition.
Extrafl of a letter from Poole, April 23.
" This morning was sent in here by the
Nonfuch privateer, a French ihip called La
Louisa Frances, bound from Cape Francois to
, Bourdeaux, loaded with sugar, coffee, indigo,
&c. taken within five leagues of Bourdeaux;
(he came out with 12 fail more, under convoy
of two frigates, but was separated from them
in the late blowing weather. The Nonfuch
is gone in quell of some more of them."
The Swift Packet is arrived at Falmouth,
from New-York, with dispatches from General
Robertson; which place (he left the 30th of
March.
Extrad of a letter from Paris, April 14.
" Our good allies the Spaniards have been
peculiarly unfortunate in the loss of their ffiips
since the commencement of hostilities 'with the
English. They have loft in the whole ten foips
of the line, besides smaller vessels, viz. five were
taken by Admiral Rodney ; the St. Dominique
was bicorn up ; two were wrecked in the bay
of Cadiz after the engagement; the Poderofo
funk in the open sea ; and the St. Joseph of 70
guns, belonging to Don Gaston's squadron,
with a frigate of the fame nation, being driven
out of port very lately in a storm, was loft
between Bertauma and Ie Conquer: It was
hoped that part of the crew of the St. Joseph
would be saved."
May 2. Four of his Majesty's frigates are
ordered to be got ready immediately, in order
to fail to Newfoundland, where they are to
cruize, in order to proted our trade at that
place.
They write from Brest, that the Palmier, a
French man of war of 74 guns, had lately
foundered in the Gulph of Florida, and all
the crew perished.
May 2. Yesterday Lord George Germaine
had a numerous Levee at the American De
partment, Whitehall.
By a letter from the Cape of Good Hope,
dated Off. 19, we learn that Sir Edward
Hughes, with 6 fail of the line, and fourteen
Indiamen were then all well, and were to fail
from thence the next day, firft to Madras,
and then supposed to be intended to proceed
on an expedition either against the Mauritius,
or Manilla.
The two American prizes lately sent into
Plymouth were mast ships, laden from Cafco
Bay and Newberry Port with masts from
France: on board one of them are pine flicks
of a great length, fit for melts for firft ratelhip
of the lino. ,
