NEV-YORK, December 14.
Yesterday the Ship Pattey, Capt. Marquifs,
ar red here from Cadiz^ but last from Fal
m uth, in ii Weeks and 2 Days, by whom
we learn, that the Dutch, Ambassador was ar
rived In London, and had offered assistance to
Great Britain; that d, Squadron of men of
war were to fail for the Mediterranean; that
ow Weit Ihdta fleet had got home fafe, but
t^t great part of the French Weft India fleet
was taken by the English privateers^ that the
Captain of the Duke of 90 guns wa w broke;
that numbers of foreign seamen were daily
entering on board the English fleet ; that 1500
seamen Were daily expected from Lisbon;
Captain Venture, from this port, was arrived
in Englund, and had taken a privateer on his.
p^ffage; 200,000 people had lately died at
Conhantinople, and that the-place was almost
like a defart; that (he French fleet was in
Brest harbour the fifteenth of September, and
that Admiral Keppel was gone to look after
them ; that the Empress of Ruffia.had 20 Blips
of the fine at the service of Great Britain, and
troops,' if required."
The Prince of Wales Privateer, of, this Port,
in company with the Porcupine, fentin last
Tj^rfday a Schooner from Curacoa, loaded
with Sugar, Oznaburgs, Duck,.Gin,. &c. ,
The Gentleman who loft his Life on board
the Harriot Packet, that was lately taken, and
carried in^ the Eastward, was an inhabitant
of Virginia, nam'd —* ^ Achelon, Son of the
late Mr Acheson, of the house of Acheson and
larked of Virginia.,
On ?he 12th instant died, in the thirtieth
year of his age, John MarilN, Journeyman
✓nnter; face of Aberdeen. He possessed, in
an eminent degree, those qualities which will
always render his profeffibn refpe&able name
ly neathefs, cbrre&nefs, dilpatch, and a close
application to business, This tribute is paid
to his memory by a friend who knew him from
h 7 infancy—And the truth of what is here
asserted will be confirmed by many of the capi
tal Printers in this city, and on this continent.
Above all, fve^ one whokn a.w him will grant
him the noblffl of all characters—that of
AN HONEST MAN. n
