\Vc hear that three of the regimensits
lately embarked to America had orders
to proceed to Philadelphia, that they might
be there I! the time the Grand Connrcs,
hold their second mecting, in ordessl? to

Impnrtant period.
lt is said that upwards of 6o,coo-l. ster

England ,to be distributcd among the friends

Authenuek letters from d'pzun make
mention ol'a powerful fleet, which waits
only the orders of the court to put to sea ;
but it is not known if its destination is
against the Emperour of Morocco, or is it
has a more concealed private object, the
latter of which is nnivorl'ally believed.
These letters add, that :: sqnsiidron of sisix'
Dutch menof war was arrived at Cadiz,
designed as : fleet of observation in the
Mediterranean.
it is said that orders are given for a fleet
of men of war, which are to rendezvous
ss at Spithead, to be in readiness to sail When
ever they may be wanted.
It was last year reported , that Sir_]_effe
Amherst had said, that with Fooo Engliz
regular-s he would enga e to march from
one end to the other of the continent of
North America. This being spoken of
publickly in a— cossee-house in North Ame
rica, Col. Washington, who was present,
declared, that with 1000 Virginians he
would engage to stop Sir Jefi'ery Amberst's
march.---lt is the fashion at St James's
to despise the Americans, to call them
towards, poltroons, &c. and the resoluti
on seems to be taken to put their courage
to the proof. The very' able, spirited,
and prudent conduct of this gallant officer,
when heeovered and preserved the remains
of the English army after one of their de
sfeats last war in North America, has en
deared- him to every" brave ssman, and
stamped him with the name of being :
most able officer.
By alettersrom Glasgow, we areinform
that the Dutch have bought up the whole
' (lockoslectistobacco there, at 2d . per pound
advance . The quantity was about 64; tuns ,
which leaves near 12,oool. extra profit.

Wlth a hanging mane and switch tail, . nsi
a fresh scar under his throat, occasioned .
b a late swelling, which hactt reduced—'sihiess "
plight very much, saces and cantenssso '.;_i
well as to be an excce ing finen'ding horse, ' ;si
and branded on the near buttock TF in a. ,1
piece. It is more than probable, indeed ! l
think it certain, that the said horse was .'
taken off b one !Villz'am Grqy, : joiner,
who elope si-om these parts the same night
on account of some misdemeanors which
he had been committing in Falmput , and _
for which he was, at that time, pursued
by ajustice's warrant. The said Grey is a
likely young fellow about 22 years of age,
rather taller than middle size, wears his
own dark curled hair, takes snuss to excesis,
which nli'ccts his speech very perceptibly.
He told some of his cornraclcs that he was
going to Bedfin'd county, from whence he
lately came, but how far to believe this
is uncertain. Hss'hoever will find and pro—
duce the shid horse to me shallhuve 40 :.
