Thefollow gextrad from Lord North's
speech, will clearly explain Js Majesty's
intentions in regard to the war in Ameri
ca.&
" For answer to some comments, which
Mr. Hartley made on the King's Speech
relative to the silence observed in it, re
fpeding America, he said, tho' no ment>
on had been made in it, it was virtually
included in the word Confederacy, Ameri
ca was as much meant as the Houk of
Bourbon, and if supported in Parliament,
he most certainly meant to prosecute the
war against our rebellious fubje&s in that
country.

Captain and crew, to make the firft port they
could, The officers fay, that 'tis very probable.
all the transports with the fame lading, who
Jurviv'd the form, were compelled to difebarge
it in the fame manner.

PROVIDENCE, Feb. 19.
Extract of a letter from an officer on board
the Continental feet, under the command of
Commodore Whipple, dated /hip Providence
Charieflown, S. Carolina, Jan. 8, 1780.
" Wefailed from Nantaftet road the 23d
of November lad, and the 26th met with a
severe gale of wind, which lofted about 30
hours ; in which time we sprang our mibien
waft ; the Ranger /hared the fame fate, and'
the Boston forcing the bead of her main m.f.
On the sth ult. we took aprivateer brig of 12
guns, caked the Dolphin. On our arrival
here we found our dijigns against the enemy
fruftrated, as they bad not attempted, nor is
it probable they will attempt any thing against
this town this season.
" Jan. 11, Since writing the ab^ve, we
have received an account that the enemy are
building fly boats, and making preparations
for another expedition against this town ;
which they fay is to commence as soon as their
reinforcement arrives from New Fork. If
they should attempt it, I believe it will termi
nate as much to their difocmor as their cause
and abtiors deserve, a the town and river are
well fortified.
