In Consequence of the above Defeat the
Spaniards immediately raised the Siege of
Gibraltar, and Admiral Rodey was busy in
fitting up the Spanish Men of War in order to
Arengthen his Fleet, which altogether would
amount to 28 Sail of the Line, all of which
except two, were 70 Guns, and upwards.
Thus at the Beginning of the War, the Dons
have loft one Quarter of their Navy, and not
less than 10,000 Seamen.
Extras of a Letter from a principal House at
Lifan, dated February 8, 1780.
" Admiral Sir George Bridges Rodney,
" Rear Admirals Digby, and Sir John
" Lockhart Ross, with twenty-two Sail of
" the Line have relieved Gibraltar, and in
" their Way done signal Service to their
" Country, having off Finnifterre taken a
" large Convoy of Spanish Caracca Ships a
" mounting to twenty-four Sail, some of
" which large Vessels laden with Provisions,
46 Stores, &c. And off Cadiz they fell in with
“ eleven Sail of Spanish Men of War, of the
" Line of Battle, all of which struck to the
"BRITISH FLAG.
" The Spanish Admiral Don Juan de Lan
" gara, in the Ship, Phoenix of eighty Guns,
" with 5 others each of 70 Guns were car
" ried into Gibraltar, one of 70 Guns was
" blown up, and fomeof the Rest got into
“ Cadiz, as a Storm came on before they
" could get them off the Land, and were
“ obliged to abandon them to preserve the
" British Fleet from being wrecked on the
" Coast.
" The Spaniards have paid already very
" dear for their Breach of Faith, and wehope
" this Summer will reduce the House of Bour

WHEREAS it is highly necessary and
expedient for the salubrity of the air,
and the health of the inhabitants, as well as
for the fake of that decency and good order
which ought to be observed in every well go
verned city, that the public streets should be
kept clean and free from nuifanceS of every
kind.
I have therefore thought fit to issue this
^Proclamation, ftridly forbidding all peifons
to throw out or lay down in any of the streets,
lanes, alleys docks, flips, open lots of ground
or ruins, (to the southward of Fresh Water)
from their dwelling houses, stores, tables,
yards or cellars, any dirt, filth, garbage,
broken ware, or other rubbish ; but do here
by order that they regularly cause the fame
to be carried away once in every week,
at thrir own expence, and thrown into the
open lots in the Swamp, (near the Jews bury
ing-ground) which are under water.
And it is further directed, that
■f Of the South Ward Ch
every Monday,
Of the Dock-Ward on
every Tuesday,
Of the Eall-Ward oh
< every Wednesday,
Ihe Inhabitants of Montgomery Ward on
every Thursday,
Of the North Ward on
every Friday, And
Of the Weft Ward on
every Saturday,
Do cause to be raked together and swept up
lin heaps on the streets before their refpe&ive
dwelling-houses, Bores, or Rabies, all the
dirt, duff and filth, which the common inter
,courfe of this city may oc< ahon, in order that
the fame may be taken away by the public
carts employed for that purpose.
Any person or persons, who shall be con
victed before the Police of neglect, or refufal
to comply with these orders and directions,
shall, for every such offence, be fined at the
discretion of the Magistrates of Police, in a
sum not exceeding Forty Shillings currency, to
be paid into the hands of the Treasurer of the
city funds for the use of the poor.
The inhabitants are also ftri&ly enjoined
and required, not to incumber adv of the
streets, lanes, alleys, wharves, or piers of the
City, with any kind of lumber that may im
pede the free passage thereof, on penalty of
having the fame removed at the expence of the
proprietor, and being fined; at the discretion
of the Police, in a sum not exceeding den
Pounds currency for each offence.
And th the end, that the salutary intentions
of these regulations rhay be fully anfivered, I
do hereby nominate and appoint, William
Hill, anting officer under this Proclamation,
with instructions to report all delinquents to
the Police.
Given under my Hand, in the city of New-
