PA R I S, Auguf 16. f
re ='HEY write from Soillons, that in the night
J between the 16th and 17th of last month,
a violent tempest, accompanied with hail of ex
traordinary size, had destroyed 15 parishes in the
dißri£t of Soiflon. Those that fuffered most are
the village of Fontenoy, Nouvron, Tartier, and
the Little Beuxi. The rye, wheat, oats, hemp
and vines, have been destroyed in a manner so
deftruQive, that the unhappy inhabitants can
not difeover what had been sowed. ^ 1 .
The Sieur Pelletier, Intendant of that pro
vince, has verified and. Rated the losses. It is
computed that it will require four years at least,
to put the country into the Rate of production
in which it was, and the general loss is comput
ed at about 400,000 livres.
The fame misfortune has been experienced,
but less rigorously, in 16 parishes of the diftrift
of Clermont in Beauvoifis.
AuguJl 19. The Count de Graffe arrived
here on the 16th inst. at night. On the 17th

honor of a private conference with his Majesty
for a quarter of an hour ; and at half past fix in
the evening he returned h.:her with a chearful
countenance ; all his officers, prisoners from
England, as himfelf, on their parole of honor,

August 29, We have received some accounts
of the combined fleet from Brest ; they were at
anchor off Cape Ortegal on the 18th, and had
fuffered much from contrary winds, and it is fear
ed they would arrive in great disorder at Cadiz.
Hague, August 25. The States of Holland and
Weft-Friefland having assembled on the 17th
inst. took into consideration the proposition of
the Deputies of the city of Amsterdam for the
continuation of the operations in concert with
France against England for the campaign of
1783, and the renewal of the treaty of commerce
ot the year 1739. And after mature delibera
tion it was fefolved, that the said propositions be
examined by the Lords of the corps of Nobility
and other Deputies of their Noble and Grand
Mightinesses for important affairs, in order that
the Assembly may avail itfelf of their considera
tions and advice.

A^fl $• It is generally believed in Holland,
that if peace is not shortly agreed upon, the King
of Prussia will certainly take the field in opofi
tior to the Emperor, whose preparations indi
cate an approaching rupture.
A letter from Conffantinople fays, that orders
are given for repairing the two castles of the
Dardanelles, and railing feme new works I Also
for augmenting the navy, and railing forces in
every part of Turkey, which makes it conjectur
ed, that a war with.fome power is near at hand;
but where the firft Yow will be struck time can
only difeover.
Lord Thurlow has the compleat direction of
the state machine at this time. Nothing is un
dertaken without his consent. He is the very
center of all the parties that now form the pre
sent adminiffration, under the character of, " An
Independent Peer."
Augtf 7. No n< ociators are at this time
thought of by the belligerent powers ; neither is
there any one of the neutral powers, except the
Empress, inclined to afford a mediation towards
a peace. 4
It is in contemplation to fend out such a mili
tary force to the Weft-Indies, as, with the naval
superiority we now have in that quarter, (hall
enable us to recover some of the chief of our loft
possessions. .•.<:...
, August 9. Lord Shelburne is so sensible that
the independence America will strike at the root
of the marine strength of this country, that he
has it in contemplation to lay a plan before Par
liament for a naval militia, to consist of 50,000
men, who are to be regulated in such a manner
as to be called out on every emergency.

Extract of a letter from Paris, dated Auguff 19.
" It is certain that the Comte de Graffe has
enemies in the fleet, but there are also a large
number of officers 'ready to give evidence in his
favour. He {hews, in the mean time, by the
confidence of his conduct and his difeourfe, that
he is certain he has done his duty. This affair
will soon be cleared up.by the Court-Martial,
which is to be held at Brest, where that unfortu
rite Admiral, it is said, has had orders to re
pair.
Extras of a fetter from Gibraltar. .
" You will easily conceive the incessant fire
kept up against this place, when I assure you, that
a parapet seventeen feet high, and two hundred
long, has been railed near Willis's battery, con
sisting entirely of the {hells and balls thrown in
by the enemy."
