NEW-YORK, June 3 o ; .:
E, the Carteret and Duke of Cumberland packets, arrived,
here on Wcdncfday Lift from Falmouth, with the mails of;
April and May, we have the following intelligence, viz.
LONDO N, April ar.c
LO RD SANDWICH is said to have a scheme. in
view of creating a naval militia. —His plan is tasild
a ship of war, named after each county in the kingdom, at
the expence of the county. He thinks th, the county honor
will operate strongly, in making both officers and men ex
ceedingly anxious to fuppOrt the credit and, reputation of
their particular province, and that the firft anq annual charge
Will be foppgrted with greater pleasure, than any general
burden laid upon the whole kingdom.•
A enrrefpondent writes, That the inhabitants of the town
of Manchester, who have already raised 2500 men for their
county, have now opened a fubfcripcion to build a firft rate
man of war. This example, at is hoped, will be followed
by other counties. Several individuals have fubferibed fool,
each, and others 10001.
late on Wednesday evening the messenger, who was sent
near three months ago to Petersburg, arrived at Lord Stor
mont's office, with difp.atches from Sir James Harris to his
Lordship. The above dispatches are of the most important
kind of any that have been received this war, as they contain
nothing short of the ultimate resolution of the Ruffian Court,
refpe&ing the alliance, and the decided part she means to
take with rhe present contending risers at war.
No article of info ng the contents of Sir
James Harris's letters '; but the messengers
belonging to the diffei been constantly em
ployed in going to th ir, and to such Mini
ffers as are gone out of idays.
Before the messenger he was sent for by
Sir James Harris into h. de use of these par
ticular arfd emphaticalv 'I hope to Godyou
will arrive fate in Engla 'patches you bear,.
for the contents of them oft consequence to
your country."
Notice of the arrival er from Russia has
been sent to all the Cabin T : Lord Chancellor
and the three Secretaries cdied to arrive in
town to-morrow, a Cabir g summoned to
meet at St. James's, pre awing-room on
Sunday.
April 7. Advice was ye !at Lord Stor
mont's office, with the imp ce, That 14 fail
of Dutch ship>of war, havt Toxel, and arc
gone to join the French flee
Four expresses have beenc Imiral Rodney
within ten days. The purpe fifes related to
the failing and supposed defti ft fleet.
April iz. The anticipatic e French, in
fending out fuccours to Indi tern a great
afcendency over our p:efent d. icelcfs fitua
tion in that quarter.
The sole defence of this iflan- depends on the fafe return
of Darby's fleet; and therefore every thinking man among
us must shudder at the danger to which it is exposed. Clin
ton might fly for a time before Washington, and Munro be
fore Hyder Ali, without any great inconvenience, but a
vi&ory over Admiral Darby might give a mortal stab to the
independence of this country.
May 5. The destination of Commodore Johnftone's
squadron is no longer a secret; the Cape of Good-Hope is
certainly the principal objed of the expedition ; the Dutch
are already so well informed of it, that they now give up
this valuable letclement forloft.
Three thousand troops are ordered for embarkation on
board the fleet now destined for the East-Indies.
forty additional companies are railing under the authority
of Parliament.
On the 19th of April, a Dutch man of war of so guns was
loft on one of the Scftly Rocks.
The BIG illicit, a Spanish man of war of 74 guns, was loft
between , Capes St. Vincent and Spartel.
