B OS T O N, October 17.
Friday last Capt. Jacobs arrived at an outport,
in 50 days from Cadiz, by whom we learn, that
when he left that place they were in daily ex
pectation of hearing the surrender of Gibraltar,
as the garrison were almost worn out with exces
sive fatigue, and were short of proyifion; and
had petitioned Gen. Elliot, setting forth their
inability to defend the place much longer : And
that the Duke de Crillon, commander in chief
ofthe troops before that place, had wrote the
Count de Artois, brother to the King of France,
who was at some distance from the Spanish
camp, " That jf he inclined to fee the British
standard on the walls ofGibrattar struck, he mult
hasten immediately to camp."
The Briiifh miniftryhave given orders for the
relief of Gibraltar at all events ; and it is said
Lord Howe was ordered for that service with 38
fail of the line, to proceed with the greatest ex
pedition ; and 'tis probable he might fail from
England about the time Capt. Jacobs left Cadiz;
so that by the next arrival from that part of the
world we may expeC tvery important and inte
fefting intelligence.
H A RTFO R D, October 22.
The King of Sweden has manifefted, by some
generous overtures to Congress, a molt friendly
disposition towards us, and has requested that an
Ambaflador from these States may be sent to
his Court.
ExtraEi of a letter from an Officer in Camp to his
friend in this town, dated October 18.
“ The French officers which have lately ar
rived from Europe are not so sanguine that we
shall have a peace so soon as many in the country
expeCt. Their idea of European politics is, that
France will listen to any reasonable proposals for
a peace, but will not herfelf urge such an event.
" England wishes a peace; but can hardly
brook the idea of asking it at the hands of the
Bourbon House.
“ The Dutch have been too much injured
and insulted to wifli an end to the war before
they can have retaliated a little.—The neutarl
powers care nothing about the issue, till their
particular views and interests are effected by it.
" A few days past seven of Delaney's corps
were difeovered near this place, they were pur
sued by a detachment of thezd regiment ofLighr-
Dragoohs, one of their party was killed, two
badly wounded and with the remainder (one ex
cepted) taken prisoners, no damage was sustain
ed by the dragoons."
« Wednesday, 25th of September ulr. Mr. Henry Ely
was ordained so the pastoral charge of the Church of Christ
in North-Killingworch : A ver, great concourse of people
were colle&ed on the ecexfion^-A fernion was preached
from H. Corinthians, 4,7, b, the Rev. Mr. Hinflale, of
Windier. The whole solemnity was attended with great
decency and order. Said Chtirch was made destituteby the
death of the Rev. William Seward, A. M. who died on the
„h of February last, in the 70th year of ms age, and 45th of
his miniffry, an eminent faithful servant of Jesus Christ —
Ic is worthy of notice, that in less than eight months after
the death of their late Rev.'Paftor (in which term said
Church and Society have never been destitute of preaching
so much as one Sabbath) said Mr. Henry Bly is fettled
amongst them in the work of the gospel ministry. The
unanimity of said people was extraordinary, as one and all
seemed solicitous speedily to re-fettle a Gospel Minister;
which laudable example, it is to be wished, may be imitat
ed by other vacant Churches."
