Extract of a letter frora th^ H^gue, February 27.
" T HE new negociatlon for a loan of a
1 million of florins, in favor of the, Ame
ricans, which is to be opened on the firft of
March, at the house of the widow Newille and
son, causes no little fenfaticn at^he Hague, tho'
it is not generally thought the laid loan will be
so fpcediiv filled as Congress and its partizans
may wilh." \ ,
By accounts from Several perfohs/nct ignorant
of naval affairs, who have seen the fleet at Spit
head, there never was a fleet better fitted, or
better prepared in every refpe&, then the pre
sent squadron for any event.
It is now alm'oft certain that Gov/Johnflcmc's
expedition is intended against the Cape of Good-
Hope, the supposed defencelefs date of whrch,
after so long a peace, will make it an easy con
quest v his further inftru&ions are to proceed to
the Spice-Islands or the Manillas, as circum
stances may vender nioft eligible.^
Extract of a letter from Paris, February 27/
'' We have received advices from Rochford,
which mention the loss of I'Heflor and Sartinc
armed fhify of thirty-fix guns each, with, all
their peoples on the sixth instant, off Scil^y." ,
The immediate occasion of Sir Joseph Yorke's
journey to Vienna, is said to' be this : Phe Court
of Vienna, since the death of the late Q^ueen,
have felt their natural consequence, in a natural
way, and have given the Empress of Russia to
underhand that they wished to take a joint part
with her in the mediation she proposed between
the Belligerent Powers. After various commu
nications on the fubje&,it has at last been adjust
ed as follows: That the Courts of Ruiha and
Vienna flrall undertake to enquire into the causes
and circumstances of the war between France,
Spain and England, and after having formed
such determination, as (hall appear to them just
and reasonable, for the impartial investigation of
the business, they will declare against any of the
particular powers abovementioned, who shall re
fufe to acquiefee in their decision, and submit to
their decree. One thing, however, the Emperor
has infilled on, in favour of England, and that is,
that America ihall be left entirely out of the
question, as a Separate power, and that no act of
this confederation, should appear to fandion the
independence of that country. Ambafladors are
to meet ot Vienna, from all the Courts concern
ed in this grand and interesting business, and there
is every reason in the world to believe, that a
general peace will be the result or it, and a peace
favourable to this country, as we have every
thing to exped that an eftablilhed partiality on
the tide of our arbitrators can possibly effed.
We learn by the information of a gentleman
whohas a letter from a very refpe&able personage
at Vienna, in high truth from the Court of
Great-Britain, February 2s, “ That every pre
paration was making for the reception of
baffadors,to be sent there by the Coui ts or RufLa,
England, France and Spain,who are to negotiate
terms of general peace."
The firft Lord of the Treasury, considering
that the terms of the loan are on the eve of ueing
fixed, and anxious to guard against censure,
either from the public or the lubfcribers, has
taken pains to have it universally known, that our
Court has accepted the proffered mediation of
Courts of Vienna and Petersburg ; and that Sir
Joseph Yorke is appointed to go to Vienna as
KIN GSTON (farnAca) March 22.
Monday his Majesty's Ship Resource, with the
Dutch Store-Ship, having a detachment of the
Royal American Rangers on board, failed for
Fenfacola. ,
April 28. Wednesday arrived at Port-Royal
his Majesty's Ship Fox, the Hon. Capt. Windsor,
with a fleet under his convoy; This fleet Oon
fitted of ninety-nine fail when they left Cork, on
the 23d of February, under convoy of the Fox,
Tegalus and Aurora Frigates; but the fourth day
after their departure, in a heavy gale of wind,
many of them were Separated from the convoy.
Some of the Scattered Ships had arrived at the
places of their destination, in the Windward-
Islands, but thirty-five fail were still miffing,
when Capt. Windfot, having collected all those
for this iflaud, failed from St. Euftatia on the
18th instant. ,
Before he left that island, intelligence was re
ceived of the arrival of the March packet at Bar
dadoes. The packet brings advice, which may
be depended on, that a Congress of Plenipoten
tiaries from the different States of Europe, had
met at Vienna, for the purpose of re-eftabliiting
peace among the Belligerent Powers. The Con
gress had aflembled through the mediation of
the Imperial Courts, who threatened to throw
their weight into the feme against any power
that Should not be inclinable to peace on equita
ble terms. Lord Mountft'uart, Sir Joseph Yorke
and Sir Robert M. Keith, are Plenipotentiaries
from our Court. But before the British Ministry
ivould accede to this proposal, they had insisted,
and had received aflurance that the mutual claims
of Great-Britain and her revolted Colonies in
North-America, Should not be fubje€t to their
difeuffion.;
By a flag of truce from Aux Cayes, we hear
that a French brigantine privateer, called I'Berf,
mounting 18 nine pounders, and carrying'l7o
men, had taken and sent into Hifpamola, the
Hercules privateer from Kifigfton, and a Ship
from Liverpool, whose name we have not learnt.
In this flag of tiuce are come thirteen privates
belonging to Capt. McKay's company, of his
Majefcy's ggth regiment, and it is said that the
rest of that company, being chiefly foreigners,
have entered into the French service.
Thursday arrived his Majesty's snip Loweftoffe,
and a rich American brigantine her prize deeply
laden.
Yesterday also anchored at Port-Royal, the
Spanish ship Sr. Joseph Diana,from la Vera Cruz
bound to the Havanna, loaded with supplies for
that garrison ; and the (hip N.l). D. la Cruz,
from New-Orleans, bound to join the Spanish
armament now besieging Pensacola, with troops
on board, confining of 1 Colonel, 2 Captains, 2
Lieutenants, and 120 rank and file ; the former
captured the 21st, and the latter the 24th ultimo,
by his Majesty's Chip Ulysses, which they parted
with the 27th, still continuing her cruize. A
few days before the St. Jofeph,Diana left Vera
Cruz, five Spanish frigates had' failed from that
port, bound to the Havanna, having under their
protection four flotas, laden with immerse trea
sures, on account of his Catholic Majesty. The
N. D. D. la Cruz, failed from New-Orleans, with
a convoy of 20 fail, which were difper fed in a heavy
gale of wind Owitly after their departure.
the Negociator for Groat-Britain. The contend
ing parties.well know the importance of such a
mediation; and will be careful how they reject
the iifterpofition of fuch' mediators.
