Capt. Frederickfon^ from Leg
horn, which place he left on the
25th March, informs.
That it was believed at Leghorn
that an English 74, which had
been severely damaged tn the en
gagement. had been loft in a se
vere gale of wind which hap
pened soon after. It was also re
ported that the French had retur
ned to Toulon, and that the Brit
ish had received a reinforcement
from Gibraker, and the admiral's
ship, the Marseilles, which was
separated from the rest of the fleet
had got fafe at Genoa.
Three English, three Spanish,
and two Neapolitan frigates, lay
at Leghorn. Shortly after Capt.
Frederickfon had failed, he fell in
with a number of yards, (pars, &c.
which he concluded to nave be
lodged to one or other of the two
fleets. He also palled two Portu
guese frigates and a armed brigs in
the mouth of the ftrsits. He adds,
that the a states of Barbary, Tunis
& Tripoli, were at war with each
other 3 and that he had no account
of either the Moors or Algerines
being out against the Americans,
and fays, that he is convinced that
the reports which have been for
some time past prevalent in Ame
rica, were at least premature.

decrease of specie, the Convention
decreed, That all concra&s made

A measure promoted by justice, &
