an account of his spirit and rcsuiutizm in
bchalf of public]; liberty in gcmssml, and
the rights and privilegcs ot'thc citizms in

A rcp rt grains ground, at the Weit, end
of the town, that the Spanish urmnmuit
is actually intended against Gibrsidtctr; and
that advice-s have been receited, in the
course of the present week, which leave
it no longer a matter osdoubt.
Msimy of the shsspwrights are resolved, is
their grievance: urc'not speedily redresied.
to shil immediately for Americn, where
they are allhred of being received with
open arms by every true lower of liberty
and their country.
A Bristol correspondent informs us,
that the consequence-s ofthe Americzm re
sulutions are to visibly felt, by all the
commercial ranks of people in that city,
just now, that, whillt the merchants are
distracted, 'ttle less than an irffhrrec'iion is
expected s in the several orders of
people dependcnt on them.

Lii-erpool and Brisiol, upon American

body of dsipuniurcis are actually on their
march, and viiihin a short distance of
()ibrnliar; and that the Spanish fleet-is;"
noL more than 60 leugues off that place,
where they were in daily cxpcctutioff of
bci zg besieged both by sea and land.

next Amcrican cmbzn'kutjon takes place,
it is mmputcd that there will not be then,.
4000 (siiicclive men in the whole kingdom,
many of the regiments of foot scarcely
amounting to 180 men. -
It was yelleru'ay eurrently reported in
the city, that anraltar was attacked by
the Spaniards; but whether the report
ox-iginated with the alley gentry', or not, ,,
we will not take upon us to determine.
By letters from lreluml, we are'msorm
ed that the people in the northern coun
ties let their flux grow longer this year
than usual, inhupes that it might strength
en the seed, which they pay great atten
tion to, as they have no prospect of have
ing any from America this year. .
