LONDO N, August 9.
A CCORDING to many letters in town,
r % which have lately been received from War
saw, rill the powers of the North are arming
with extraordinary activity. The Empress has
been laying up magazines for some months palt,
and has already raised ten thousand recruits in
addition toher peace establishment. The Emperor
jealous of this hostile appearance, is increasing
his force in every part of his dominions; while
the King of Pruiba has ordered every regiment
in his service to be compleated, and' is making
every poflible provision fora war. What part
these different powers intend to take is not so easy
to determine ; but this we are well informed of,
that it is generally understood, both in France
and Holland, that the Emperor will fide with the
House of Bourbon,in opposition to old Frederick,
and her Imperial Majesty.
The fire of liberty begins to pervade Scotland;
as an evidence of it, the counties of Inverness,
Moray and Caith nefs, have entered into resoluti
ons and formed a committee of correspondence,
in order to consult about a more constitutional re
presentation; and inconfequencethereof, a meet
ing took place in Edinburgh on Monday last, and
tho' the relolutions of which have not yet come
to hand, certain it is, that their design is to con
cert means to carry these resolution's and to con
fider on a proper mode of collecting the sense of
all the other counties of that kingdom upon that
fubjeCt, which they justly fay is of so much na
tional importance.
Yesterday Lieut. Yatman of the Vidory-man
ofwar arrived at the Admiralty Office with let
ters from Lord Howe, who arrived in Torbay
with 22 ships of the line, threeof the capital ships
having parted and gone into Plymouth to be
victualled.
One of Lord Howe's cruizers saw the com
bined fleet fafe moored in Brest harbour when
our fleet left their Ration.
she arrival of Admiral Lord Howe renders it
indisputable that the combined fleet is gone into
Breit. The vast preparations that have been
made to furnifh him with every necessary, in.or
d^ to expedite his refailing, makes it probable
that he will be able to put to sea again by rhe
20th of this month.—His Lordship has left'fevp
ral ships cruizing to the westward, to ,^et the
leeward island fleet; and he has likewise sent cut
ters to watch the motions of the enemy off'Breft,
to give information should any detachment be
made from the combined fleet; so that we may
rest fatisfiti in respect to the fafety of the home
ward bound trade.
The internment, with which the Duke de
Crillon, made such dreadful havock, lately, at
Gibraltar,- killed two hundred men there.at one
stroke, and totally' demolishing the Bastions ofl
Queen Anne and the Princess Amelia, &c. is
called a Coinage. It is a kind of mortar and no !
new invention, having bam known so lon^fincr|
as the reign of the E nperor Charles the <rh, butl
on account of the time it took in pointing andl
loading, and the danger ' attending ft to thofel
who performed this office, was then. laid a'ide.j
Yederday some difpatcbes were rweived Ircm 1
Lifben, which wgir'brbught over in a Rufiiani
man of war, arrived at Portsmouth; they con-I
tain an account of 20 fail ofSpanilh ships having 1
1 failed from Cadiz the 74th ult. under convoy of 1
four men of war, and are fappofed to be gone to I
the Havinhah. ,
In the late tieaty between the French and'
Dutch, both nations have gapranteed to one ano
ther, the dominions respectively possessed by each
before the breaking out of the' present war.—
France has bound berfelf to this, in order to
purchase the friendfhipakidalliance ofthc Dutch;
and has so far kept her word, that she has pre
served the Cape of Good-Hope, and recovered
St. Euftatius, for her allies; but the island of
Ceylon will bear witness, how far she has per
formed her part of the treaty with refpe& to the
rest of the Dutch dominions.
It is decided, that the Dukes ofßichmond and
Grafton, and Lord Keppel, are to resign their
employments before the next meeting of Parlii
ment. Morning Herald.
,Upon Lord Shelburne's bearing of the inven
tion of a meetingin the county of Suffolk, tc confi
der of building a ship of the line, for the fe= vice of
Government,heexprefledthehigbeft ratisfaaion,
apd declared if that noble example was followed
the empire of the sea should soon be restored to
England. He wrote immediately to forne friends
in Suffolk, earnestly requeuing their attendance
and support at the meeting.
If the example of Suffolk is followed, it will
add, proportionably to that county, the following
ships to the navy-Three of iqo guns, five of 90,
seventeen of 74, five of 6 1, ten of 50, five of 44,
five of 36, and two of ?c.
Of the 20,00 c )men, voted by Ireland for the
service of England, 6000 are actually arrived;
and such is the spirit exerted by all rankshf men.
to procure the rest, that it is expected, in the:
course ofhalfa year, the whole number will be
raised.
1 here are at this time between two and three
hundred pieces pf artillery, including mortars,
in the Spanifb canip before Gibraltar.
There is no secure shelter from;beir gun-boats
which annoy the garrison of Gibraltar; nor can
tlie batteries play upon them with any certainly.
It is a mere walte of ammunition to endeavour
to bear upon them. Hence it. is that the poor
folders are so dreadfully harraffed.
kxtra^l of a letter from Algtfras, July 17.
Activity seemed to be a stranger in our
camp before Gibraltar, till the Duke de Crillon
affumeji the command: Since that period the
whole camp is daily in motion; the General is
on horle back at 6 in the morning, and passes
his time between the workmen, and the troops
unoer arms, directing the former and exercising
the latter in those evolutions which he forefi 4
may be necessary in forming the grand ^.(k
for which he cannot be ready, aftei'all his care
before the 20th of August. The bldeft folder
in the world never beheld fach an immense train
px artillery at any siege, as we have there; there
are, at present, three batteries in forwardnefs. of
,9 guns each, §4 pounders, for battering one par
ticular part of tee iortrefs the fire to be angular
and to prevent the besieged from having a fob:
to (land on in fafety in .that quarter: There arc
vaf sevens also for heating balls, which are to be
lent red hot into the garrison, in hopes of setting
fire to ,the powder brought out of the magazines
for the supply of the different batteries of the
besieged. It is the intention of our General, as
soon as every thing is ready for commencing the
dreadful fire that ever was dire&ed against
any fortrefs, to fend a flag to Governor Eliot, to
offer him the most honorable terms, if he will
ferrender the place ; but it is not expected that
the Enghfh Commander will listen to any terms
till he is reduced to the last extremity; his.pafl:
