On Friday lad arrived in this town, a

Clark’s party, to the number of 21, had
collected at the mouth of Cumberland
river, allotted as the place of rendezvous—
their intentions were, when a fufficient
number should have colle&ed, to proceed
to Lou fiina for ths purpole of attacking
that place, as has been mentioned in a
former account—but a fufficient num
ber for this purpole not having been col
lected, and Clark not having complyed
with his promise, viz. to compenfare them
for their fcrvices, they determined to flop,
detain and plunder, all boats that should
be found, palling the river. Tnis gentle

their intentions, by uflng every precaution

THE LATEST EUROPEAN EATERS,
Have been received at Portland, by an
arrival there, in 35 days horn Falmouth.
A letter, dated on I'hurfday, mentions,
that the papsrs received ware as late as
April 22 ; but that th?y contained no ma
terial intorma.ion ; except that the Engiiih
had captured many S^edi/h and Dumlh
vettels, laden with pro vi Gons, and bound
to France. They mutt, we think give
fame accounts, however fmali, of the ef
fedts produced in England, by the Prussian
feeffion, and by the fpoliarion? in the Weft
Indies ; and njuft eicaer confirm or contra

THE NEWS FROM LONDON,
By the Galen, are favourable to the
continuation of peace with England. With
the people there, no idea of a rupture with
the Uai:ed States was entertained; and
the fpoliadons un our commerce, in the
Weft Indies, were much deprecated. The
rumours of a general peace, in Europe,
were frequent ; but on the 26 of Ma ch,
the two Houfcs ol Pailument, nem. con
voted addrcfles to the K’ng, exprciiing, that
they would mall heartily iupport his Ms
jeity in the measures proposed for profe
cu ting the present just and nece/Tary war.—
The cecettion of Pruflia, was the fubjedt of
fpecuhtion. Some of the British Cabinet

that a million will bring him back—r*hiifi

without having obtained leftitution of all
the conquelis which France may have mde
