HARTFORD, March 4.
From accurate accounts publiihed in Eng
land, in October last, it appears, that the debt
of Great-Britain then amounted to more than
One Hundred and Ninety-eight Millions of
Pounds Sterling ; the annual interest of which
is above Seven Millions.
We hear that Col. Marinus Willet set out a
few days ago, with 500 volunteers, upon a secret
expedition to the westward.
The letter of Secretary Townffiend, dated
December 3, and publiihed in New-York, men
tioning the articles of peace being signed by the
plenipotentiaries of Britain and America, seems
to be a forgery; for the king's speech was deli
vered the sth of December, and takes no notice
of any such tranfa&ion. Neither is the account
of Capt. Ba r ry's arrival in the Weft-Indies with
his pacific tidings fufficiently confirmed. In
deed the preparations of the French and Spani
ards at the Cape; the immense armament mo
mently expected there under Count d'Estaing,
and the late arrival of the Marquis Bouille at Mar
tinique, makes it probable a peace is not so near
at hand as many may suppose.
At a Meeting of the Governor and Council of
Safety, at Lebanon, the 15th day of February,

Safety are informed that there are in the
