PROVIDENCE, January 6.
We learn that the Armament which lately Ailed
from the Havannah ii fafely arrived at PenGcola,
and that a body of Spanish troops have been land,
rdthere..
It is reported, that the 34th Biitifh Raiment was
lately lot, in attempting to croft one of the Lakes.
Thursday last arrived here Capt. John Updike, in
the florp Crawford, of this port, frcm Amfeidam,
in Holland, which place he left the 18th of Otobes
hi
By Capt. Updike we received Dutch papers to
the 12th of Oaober, from them we have translated
the following articles.
Hague, Oct. 9. The States of Holland and
Weft Frieziand, have this day met in Council in
consequence of Line difpatchea which have arrived
from the Court of Peterfburgh to the R ffian Am
baffador here: The dispatches contain an account
that that Court has engaged Sweden to join the arm
ed neutrality, with some other matters of great im
portance.
Oct. 10. It is no longer a doubt he r t that the
Court of Portugal has acceded to the armed neutra
lity, which will be net a little detrimental to Britain,
as that haughty power can now no huger seize ves
sels on the coast of Portugal as it has done.
Oct. it We have certain intelligence, that the
Court of Portugal has forbidden the English Commo
dore Johnftane, cruizing on their coast ; and has or
dered him to deliver up all the Portugueze sailors
hejm on board his squadron.
1 Oct. 12. By recent advice from London we
learn that it is determined on there to fend a large
geinforcement, both of ships and troops, to America
early irrthe Spring,
The. Court of London is exceedingly chagrined
to fee alMhe maritime powers in Europe arming to
prevent her tyrannizing on the sea any longer j and
we may. add that It is generally believed that the
fleet now on the ocean for the proteaion of the neu
tral commerce, will Shortly join the combined fleet
and df&ate terns of peace to that haughty power.
HARTFORD, January 16.
