A cessation of hostilities was agreed toby the
Assembly of the States of Holland, by a majori
ty of one voice only.
Ireland is at this time pushing for a preference
in the American market , not a single vessel has
failed as yet from England, for any part of the
Independent Sates ; but the ship Mary was to
fail on Sunday from Dublin for Philadelphia ;
so that Ireland takes the lead of the three king
doms in opening the trade to America.
Yesterday morning Lord Camden went to the
levee at St. James's, after which he had an au
dience of his majesty, when his Lordship resign
ed the Presidency of the Council.
Tuesday the Royal William man of war was
paid off; and this day the Victory of 100 guns,
will be paid off at Portsmouth.
We hear that Preliminaries with the Dutch
were actually signed, and will be declared to the
H@ufe of commons on Monday next.
Feb. 25. Yesterday at the levee the following
Ministers of State intimated to the King their
resolution of resigning their refpe&ive employ
ments, namely, the Duke of Richmond, Man
chester, and Rutland, the Lord Chancellor,
Lords Shelburne and Alhburton, General Con
way, and Mr. Pitt.
Yesterday advice was received by Government
from Mr. Fitzherbert, our resident at the Court
of Versailles, that the French Cabinet were so
much alarmed at our present embarkation of
troops for the East-Indies, and seemed so little
fatisfied with the arguments he had urged in de
fence of the measure, that it would be prudent
to be prepared for any hostile interruption which
might be given upon the passage of the said fleet;
in consequence of the above advice, orders are
gone down to Portsmouth for 15 fail of the line
to convoy it through the Bay to ascertain latitude.
February 28. Wednesday week an order was
issued by the council, to lay an embargo on all
(hips, which were loading for North-America,
and to prevent their failing before something
can be fettled, as to the commerce "between this
kingdom and the United States, for we are yet
,„+ whether Congress will admit our Chips
Table reason be assigned that their interpolation
is not wilhed for and requested by the Corpora
tion themselves ? Every friend to the Reverend
Board rhuft recommend a voluntary fubmiilion
of public education to such regulations as the
wisdom of the supreme legislators may appoint.
This would relieve the minds of the commu
nity, and give perfed fatisfa&ion.

retire upon pensions.

WHEREAS a falfe and injurious advertifemcnc, appear
ed in the Connc&icut Courant of the 4th of May last,
under the signature of Seth Austin, wherein the said Austin
accuses me, Phillip Morrell, of theft, &c. &c. in order to
undeceive those who may have been prejudiced against me
by said advertifcmcni, I hereby let them know that having
been employed as a shoemaker, by said Austin, for some
time and not receiving any payment, I endeavoured to bring
him to a fettlemcnt, which he constantly and indultrioufly
avoided, and finding that I could get nothing from him, on
the night of the loth of February I packed up my tools and
left him, upon which appeared the above advertisement, in
consequence ofwhich, I was taken out ofbed on the morn
ing of the 221 of February, and brought back thirty miles,
but he far from having any thing stole, had nothing in the
shop that any person would Real, upon which we came to a
fettlemcnt, but not being able to agree, upon account of a
mbit exorbitant charge he had against me for a small space
of time I was sick and for the advertisement and trouble of
bringing meback, we left it to an arbitration of honest and
judicious men, who gave it as their opinion that there was
no theft proved againg me, astheir names undersigned will
evidence.
