THE Brener .are refolved to hunthle the pride bf

feyere ltroke. The Well-Indies are in* a fair way of
fufFering a general revolution. The Trench have

in-Alrica>a fquadron is undoubtedly detached to
take pofseSion of the Cape of Good Hope—a port
from whence a few frigates will much annoy the
fihglilh trade to the Etft-Indies. The Irilh Wait
only for fonport to give Great-Britain itrious trou

In Italy the French are forming alliances—Genoa
and Tulcany have already admitted their mi miters
in ipiteof the remonilranccs oi the Englilh ambafsa
dors.
In Turkey their influence is Very confulerable.
The policy oftlie Porte, is to take the fiHt favoura
ble opportunity to abridge the powers of Ri'.lia, &
vindicare the honour oftheOttonvan empire. French
workmen are employed in cOnlrruffing (hips of the

In every part of Europe great events feem to be

A gentleman who arrived in laft evening’s frage*

ALEXANDRIA, April 23.
Extract of a letter received by Opt.Greert (arr:v
ed at Philadelphia) from a gentleman in Sr. E’li!^
tia, dated tit April.
“ The Englifh have declared war againft the
Dutch, and have granted letters ofinarq. e and re
prituls ; one lias already produced her cotmr.iSon
at St. Kitrs. The Dutch have acknowledged • the
lovereignty of the French, granted half a iriliion
lrerling to profecute the war, to fiipply largo quan
tities ot cloathing for the army, and to fit out thir
ty-two lail of the line and nine frigates.
The Negroes have taken Sr. Lucia eircejn the
fort of Morns Fortune, taken Grenada except I^’ch
mond hill anti town, have rofe in a body at St.? Vin
cents; and are fighting there iii a dreadful manner ;
and in neither of the Englifh and Dutch iHands do
the inhabitants go to bed without the fear of death
before morning. Such is the prelent fituation i f
thefe colonies, and you mult be perfuaded the prof
pect is not very tempting to rilk property at pre
lent. All thole who had goods here laft Week re
moved to Sr. Thomas and Sr. Bartholomews, fear
ing the attack of the French and this week we are
expecting the attack of the Englifh. — Yefterday an
Englilh frigate was here, aud it was luppqj'cd (he
came to demand the ifiand." [Am. D. Adv ]

A very few months fince, the avowed plan of i hi*
government was to ftarve the French ration. This
humane plan did not fuccceci a gain ft that country —
hut whoever confiders the prefcnt fnnation olGre-ar
Britain, may, without being a ecu fed of entertaining
idle apprebenfionl, ftcl lorhe fears for this. Bread
his fcarcelv ever been at fo high a price iince the
commencement of the prefent century : in many of
the provinces, a worm has been discovered in the
wheat, which very much diminifhes its produce.
The harvefts of America, which uIVd t,o fupply our
deficiencies, have been forellalled by France, at a.
higher price than we can pay for them,—The law
lels infolence of Defpots,has not onlv ritftroyed the?
harvefts, but ruined the feed of Poland, once the
granary of Europe. The fertile fields of Belgium
are laid wafie. We have been feeding 60 OOo Ger
mans on the continent for fome time pa ft. It is a
fast that one great corn dealer in this ciry has re
ceived upwards of fifty letter ; from his correfpon
dents m til* continent declaring they cannot fulfil^
his orders. Such are fome of the biefsed effects ot
the fore fight of our mmifters»,yet much as Inch con
