L O ND O N, October, u.
ATURDAY private advices were
O brought to town from France, and
immediately sent to the King ^t Windsor.
We learn that they contain the particulars
of the intended military, and naval rein
forcements going to America, and that
instead of eight fail pf the line and seven
thousand men, twelve fail of the line and
ten thousand choice troops are ordered on
that service.
Government have received dispatches
fiorn General Vaughan, dated at St. Lucy,
with accounts that the.army, is in the most
lamentable Situation from sickness, nearly
one half of the nominal troops being, at
ths time, totally disabled. ,What is very
singular, he mentions that the 98th regi
ment in particular has fufftred so much
from the prevailing contagion, that there
is not one man in it capable of tearing
arms. , #
Extract of a letter from Amsterdam, Sep
tember 30.
« On the 25th a Congrels brig, mount
ing ^ guns, arrived from America in the
Ttkel,/and immediately landed two gen
tlemen, who, it appears, are/going to Co
penhagen, as resident and fecret?fy from
the Congress; their names were Brown and
Williams, and they were to' set off from
tbs city, on their journey to Denmark,
to-morrow.",
Dispatches of great consequence are
said to have arrived yeltrday from the
continent, supposed to be an official con
firmation of the Queen of Portugal's ac
ceeding not only to the armed neutrality,
but to an alliance with the Houle of
Bourfun : in consequence of which, a
meeting of ail the great officers of Hate
was held last night at Lord Hillfborough's
office, the particulars of which have-not
yet transpired.
A great fire broke out on the 16th of
August last, at Salomca, in the Levant,
which burnt down above fix hundred
boufes, the greatest part of which belong
ed to the Jews, who have thereby 101 l all
they possessed in that city.'/
The grand diet are not to fail from
Torbay, until the fleet for America are
ready to fail, which are expend tut firft
fair wird.
The outward bound fhipg, which tfca
ped being taken on the 9th of August,
were underwrote last night at forty guineas
per cent.
Extras of a letter from Paris, Sept. 26.
" The Prince de Mohtabarrey, miniftcr
and feerctary of state for the war depart-'
ment, has lent circular letters to the com
manders of the French and foreign regi
ments of infantry, acquainting them, that
i& is the King's intention that the different
corps which the war has required to be
sent to America, shall be com pleated: and
that to effete this, each legiment shall fuc
nifh a de^chment, confuting of two ser
geants, three corporals, and feventy-five
ioraiers, excepting such regiments as have
already furnilhed detachments for the ser
vice of his Mgefty's navy,, and which arc
now to furnilh only a proportionate num
ber cf men. The minister recommends to
prefer such men as Ihall offer voluntarily,
declaring unto them, that they are to be
incorporated into the regiments of land
forces actually serving in America : and
he further observes, that these detachments
fhuuld ony confft of men from the age
of 18 to 30, or such as have been at sea,
though they should happen to be older ;
bet chat if a fufficient number should not
offer voluntarily his Majesty's will and
pleasure was notwithstanding to be execu
ted.
" Our, letters from Brest mention, that
the workmen in that port are busily em
ployed in sheathing with copper all^the
fhips.that.are defined for North America,
under the command of Monficur de la
Touch© Treville. The fecund division of
the army under the command of Count de
Rpchambeau,which is co embark on board
of laid IqUadron, consists of the regiments
of Avergoe, Meufiri, Rouergue, and An
halt, commanded by theic Colonels the
Viscount deLaval, 'Count deGoibert, Vis
count de Gulline, and the Count de Wir
geniiein."
Dublin, Oct, 17. It is feared the feve
ritics exercised by Lord Cornwallis on the
relaplcd Americans, will be attended with
ill conlcquences by expefing any of the
American refugees who. may be so unfor
tunate as co tail into the hands of. their
countrymen co a like fate,'and thus open
a scene of blood, too horrid to reflect on.
A very itrong memorial was difparched
yesterday to Mr. Harris, our envoy at
Pcterfburgh, to be picki^cci without a
moment's delay, to the Empress, in conse
quence of the pre lent hollile appearance of
the Ruffian Hag in the Bntifh channel,
while the two nations reciprocally profefs
the molt pe,tea amity towaids each other.
A gentleman of rankjuft arrived from
Berlin, who attended a large reyiewin that
kingdom, being afkeu by his PiuffanMa
jeft), " Whaf he thought of the naval
equipments in the North ?” R plie'>
"He supposed they were made with a
view of extending their feverai marines, at
a time when neither of the contending na
tions could attend to their progress."
" That may be, rejoined Frederick, but I
think before they have apufed themselves
fix months longer out of their elements,we
stall be able to drew the best part cf them
feme tolerable land diversion, and that up
on their own continent.
