As the King of Prcffia cannot hav£
any th are in the spoils of France, it is
natural in policy that he Ihouid not wish
to fee his rivals aggrandized by the war, ,
without at ieaft having hisown expenses
defrayed. That he has retired froth the
war as a principal is no fonder doubtful;
but such is the necessity of England and :
Austria for his co-operation that they
must pay him his price. He received a .
retaining fee in the atrocious plunder of
Poland, and those whb, in perveffiop. of
all the rights of nations) acceded to, and
even guarranteed that robbery,now affect
to abuse him, because in the way of his
. profeffion, he demands a refrefliing fee.

He is therraUb left at liberty to ;^^o
the French the'ftotes; -arms; riisefe^

and to fell to the combined powers the
human beings whom they want. He.
will enrich his people athoirie by, pro

We have, received intelligence, that
the island of Guadaloupe, in tpe Weft-

An eVent which (b nearly ihterefts. the; A
commerce of the United States, deserves
the ftrideft iriveftigation. Capt. Samp

Eudatia, in 28 days informs, thatat Star? .

brought intelligence, that he hadfpoke a' *
French fleet of nine fail of the line, be^.
sides other veflels, and was boarded by
boats from three of diem. That tWQ days
after; an Englifli vefiel which had failcd
frorri St. Euftatia for Quadaloupe, retur
ned ; bringing advices, that she had dis
covered a French fleet near Guadaloupe
and to avoid fallinginto theirpower,had
returned. Returning spoke a, boat, whicbi
\vere several Officers ofdiftincftioß^—Gen.
Clairfayt’s defeat w&s a rout according
to their own account; and according to ; ■
that of the French Comtniffibner, Rich- 1
ard, a most compleat victory. The Au
strians loft most of their standards, and
32 pieces of artillery— 4000 killed and'
taken prlfoners on the field, among which
luded people of that infatuated country.
It appears that at Mfenfo, which the
•French captured, the Combined Powers
loft nearly half the Garrison in its flight,
and which donfeqtiently fell with all its
stores into the hands of dur republican'
friends.
