Nova Scoxia, or the sishery. The last of which is known to be the lizple
_ & the easiern since. _
We have authentick accounu, that Hollznd Ihnds ready to enter into

not in singe hc engagemenu with Britain: That the King of the two

no troops from Rulsiu and in punled to form an alliance in Europe,
that will make her nspectable.
