TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6,180 J.
The ship Oneida Chief, Captain Kemp,
arrived at New-York, has furnifhed London
dates to the 16th July. The only articles
therein, which have not before reached us,
ore the following : The King of Prussia is
asserted to have dismissed and disgraced his
Prime Minister (Haugwitz) for having
concealed from his Majesty, dispatches from
the cabinet of Great Britain, in which he
was Invited to occupy the Electorate of
Hanover before the arrival of the French,
and to indemnify himfelf by appropriating
the revenues of that country to his own use.
The king Was not informed of the request
until too late to avail himfelf of it. The
other article Rates, that the Emperor of
Russia is highly offended at the seizure of
Hanover by the French ; That the Ruffia n
Baltic fleet was ordered to be reinforced ;
and that if the French do not soon quit the
mouth of the Elbe and Wefer, it is thought
more than probable, that a considerable
Ruffian fleet, with troops on board, would
soon make its appearance near Lubee. We
must add, that these accounts are not backed
by any official authority ; and may be the
mere speculations of English Quidnuncs.
