Extras of a Letter from Portjmouth, dated
April 9,
" VESTERPAY morning the fol,
=lowing vefiels got under way in.
the road of St. Helen's, having under
their convoy the Weft.lndia fleet, viz.
I hundeier,74, Commodore Walfingham,
Captain Nieds ; Ramillies, 74, Captain
Montray; Berwick, 74, Captain Stew art ;
Rainbow, 74, Captain Fanfhaw ; Scar
borough, 20, Captain O'Hara; fireships
Blafland Salamander.
" The fame evening Admiral Graves
arrived at St. Helen's, with part of his
squadron; his intention was to have kept
at sea, but the crews of several cf the ves
sels declaied they would not do duty till
their advance money was paid them, as
was agreed. To day, during the mutiny,
their topsails were - lofed, and the Corn
miffary being dispatched for the money,
Is expelled they will fail to-night."
Commodore Walfingham has at length
failed ; his destination, with that of Ad.
miral Graves, is uncertain. The squadron
of the latter is said by some to consist of 6
ships, others at 9, and that they are both
to join in a certain latitude, and after
leaving their convoy in fafety are to re
turn to form a fleet of observation in our
seas, and to join those rihips which are th
compose the channel fleet, in order to
prevent a junction of the combined fleets.
It is probable that we ihall be able (hort
'y to g' ve a more fatisfadory account of
the force and destination of the squadron
of Admiral Graves. In general, for some
days past, the news papers abound with
{peculation. The last accounts via Hol
land have so Arangely altered the fyfiem
which they so industriously propagated
for truth, that their fertile genuifes are
exhaufied. They read and read again
the declaration and memoral cf the Court
of Russia, which seem to tell the Hcl!&i
ders, “ fyoui witb us, and Poey foall no logger
sea vessels, nor fe zeyour merchandize."
They net only find in that declaration
nothing that confirms the account so of
ten given of powerful fuccours to be
granted by Russia, but it shews us that
this fame Russia, in obliging all the mari
time powers to a fircl neutrality, which
cannot but be disadvantageous to us, is
also leaving us ty'd hand and foot to the
dangerous confederation of three power
ful enemies, and give us to underhand
that the wish of Europe in general, and
of that Court in particular, i$ that we
Should make peace immediately. If they
are obliged to give such an interpretati
on to a step of this kind, what inference
can. We draw, but that the Independence
cf America, fecr^ly acknowledged by
