HAGUE, April 25.
W E learn that the Regency of Amsterdam, having resolved to reject the propositions made by Great-Britain for a negotiation and suspension of arms, will give instructions to their deputies, at the assembly of the States of Holland and West-Friesland, for that purpose.
Mr. Adams, Envoy from the United States of North-America had a conference with the principal members of the government, and with the Prince Stadholder. He was this day in conference with their High Mightinesses; he was received and accompanied by the Baron de Brantzenbourg on the part of the province of Utrecht, and by M. C. Blot on that of Friesland. The Duc de la Vanguyon, the French Ambassador gave the day before yesterday a sumptuous dinner to Mr. Adams, and all the foreign Ministers residing here. We are assured that a Treaty of Commerce between our Republic and the United States of North-America will immediately take place.
May 7. By letters from the Weser of the 27th ult. it appears that there were lying in the mouth of that river an English frigate and two armed cutters, with a number of transports, to take 2000 Germans over to America; by which it seems evident, that the British Ministry expect their pacific propositions will share the same fate in the Colonies, which those have in Holland, which were the first made by the new Ministry.
LONDON, April 26.
Administration have laid a plan for employing all the land forces in America, as soon as ever an agreement takes place with Congress, in the West-Indies, for the protection of our remaining possessions, and to retake such as have been captured; and it is also hoped, that will put us in a situation to attack the possessions of the enemy in that Quarter.
Lord Keppel has had several conferences with those members of the late opposition, who have been the most assiduous in examining into the state of the Navy, upon the measure of a national Naval Militia. It was agreed, that every county ought to be taxed in proportion to its known wealth and importance for building a ship of the line, or a 50 gun ship, by which means there would be six ships of 100 guns, laid on the stocks; ten of 90; ten of 80; ten of 74; ten of 64; ten of 50; the money to be paid into the hands, by quarterly instalments, of a county receiver, and to be drawn for by the Admiralty, for building a ship to be called by the county's name. The naval militia to raise men enough to completely the respective county ships. And in raising the men, it was proposed, that, till a certain day, volunteers should be received, all of whom should be
entitled to greater privileges than others. The term of the service to be for the war, and no militia man ever after to be liable to be pressed. It is conceived, that such a measure, notwithstanding its being burthensome, would be popular; and that the people would submit cheerfully to any expence they were sure would be applied to the real national defence.
The Irish and Scotch in this metropolis have been at loggerheads for these several days past: the place of Col. Cockburn's nativity is the subject in dispute; the Irish will have it he is a Scotchman, and the Scotch are as positive he was born in Ireland. A correspondent, who was present on Saturday evening, at a coffee-house at the west end of the town, when a dispute took place between a Scotch and Irish officer on this important subject, has favored us with the following dialogue, and which he vouches to be correct, almost to a point. Our correspondent adds, that had it not been for the good natured intervention of some English gentlemen that were present, the consequences would, in all probability, have proved fatal to one or both of the disputants.
Note, The two gentlemen were not acquainted, and sat at the extreme ends of the coffee-room, engaged in different companies.
Scotchman. I am very glad this fellow, who was caught by the French at St. Eustatius, snoring on his post, was na born in Scotland, his name being Cockran , he maird surely be a native of Ireland.
Irishman alarmed, walks up to him —Sir, I am a little hard of hearing, and could not see what you said; but, by the cross of St. Patrick, I say if you say that Cockburn's an Irishman, you tell a damn'd —.
Scotchman. Wha the de'il are you, sir? Gang t' your company; I did say that Cockran's an Irishman—and what do you maulk of that, sir?
Irishman. What do I make of it? Why I make a d—d lie of it. I say he is a Scotchman , and by the book I'll prove it.
Scotchman. You be d—d, sir; but I should be glad to hear, sir, how you prove it—gang to the point, sir.
Irishman. No, to be sure I won't; why then, sir, he proves himself to be a Scotchman .
Scotchman. Tut, tut, mon, no blundering—to it again, mon,—Did you ever hear a Scotch soldier catched sleeping on his post?
Irishman. By my own shoul, my dear creature, I never did; your countrymen in general keep a good luck out. But it's you, sir, that has blundered; Cockburn was not catched sleeping; he was taken bathing on horseback in the sea. [ A loud laugh. ]
* Col. Cockburn commanded at St. Eustatius, when it was surprized by the French.
Scotchman. At it again, mon, that will na do; you ha na proved him a Scotchman yet.
Irishman. Nabocklish, my dear creature; if I have not proved him one yet, I'll do it compleatly in a few moments.
Scotchman. Very well; I shall be very glad to hear it.
Irishman. No you won't; but I'll tell you why he must be a Scotchman—the first thing he did when the French catched him was to bargain for his money, without paying the least attention to his duty; now, sir, I'll be damn'd but that proves his country at once. [ A loud laugh. ]
Scotchman. You are a dirty fellow, sir, and you deserve to be kack'd .
Irishman. O tunder! if you'll stop until I put on my gloves, by the book, I'll take you by the nose.
Here the company interposed, and prevented the gentlemen from going to extremities.
April 30. No intelligence of moment has been received from the continent of America or the West-Indies. Religious and political liberty are gaining ground in Europe. The Emperor's edict for liberty of conscience will find but a weak opponent in the Pope; and if the foreign public prints are to be credited, the French King has determined to give free exercise to the Protestant religion in his dominiones.

May 1. Mr. Laurens, it is currently reported has been employed, ever since the new Ministry came into office, in negotiating a treaty for a peace with America, with his friend Mr. Adams, at the Hague; which negotiation has been greatly favored by the last instructions that gentleman received from the Congress; wherein we learn, he was desired at all events to attend to any proposals that might come from the new Ministry, though not to settle any preliminaries, till he had received an answer from America.
May 15. Letters from Deal of the 12th, bring that Lord Howe left the Downs that morning, with 10 sail of the line. It is said, that the Dutch fleet, stronger than was imagined, amounted to 15 sail of the line, and 7 frigates, had sailed from the Texel, on the Friday before; as the wind between Friday and Monday was at east or south had advanced far towards the Orkneys. If Lord Howe cannot come up with them he is to make a descent on some part of the coast, having taken land forces for that purpose, whilst his fire ships are to carry destruction among the ships within the Texel. However, we have been and still are in uncertainty about the Dutch fleet. Letters from Holland of the 10th, are quite silent. In the Utrecht Gazette of the 8th, appear only four lines concerning this armament.
"Our fleet, which anchors at the Texel, has the honor of having on board the two princes of Anhalt, Bunburgh and Waldeck. Vice Admiral Hartlink is there too."
By these lines it should seem that this fleet was nearly ready the 8th, it might have sailed the 10th.
May 18. Various letters from the isle of France, say, that a very important maritime discovery has been made there; no less than an easy method to ascertain longitude. Mr. De Somay, major or foot, is the author, and the success appears to be confirmed by the result of different operations easily made by his instruments.
Friday last the two secretaries of state passed thro' both houses proposals so conformable to the demands of Ireland, that this great business may be considered as good as finished to the mutual satisfaction of both countries.
The talk of the day is chiefly about Rodney's victory. He has now recovered all popularity; so far that administration, which had tho't proper to recall him, has dispatched orders to admiral Pigot, his intended successor, not to proceed.
Saturday last there were rejoicings and illuminations, yet we are not quite easy about Jamaica. For it is probable, that when Mr. Bougainville, who now commands the fleet late under de Grasse, got down to Cape Francois, he will find himself reinforced by the Spanish ships there, so as to proceed on the intended expedition with a great superiority of force.
In the billets received from admirals Rodney and Hood, by their intimate friends, the following expressions are remarkable. "This battle," says the first, "is not of this age. It recalls the days of Van Tromp, de Ruyter, &c. The French fought like lions. The count de Grasse is a brave man. This was a hard fought victory." "The count de Grasse, (says the other, who on board the Belfleur supported the Formidable against the Ville de Paris,) having shewn a design to attack me in particular, I was so happy in taking my distance, that in 10 minutes the fire of the Belfleur decided the business. When the Count struck, he had 400 men killed, lying on his deck. He fought like a hero. His ship kept up a fire like hell, and we expected she would blow up, for till the
last he did not cease firing from both sides at the same time. The French are brave and noble enemies."
A considerable body of the merchants interested in the New-York trade, within a few days past, waited on the secretary of state, to know if it was the intention of government to keep the important post of New-York, what in case of its evacuation would be the fate of their property there; and whether further supplies of merchandise and provisions might be sent thither with safety. The minister received them politely, and assured them that government would take every possible care of their property, but advised them not to send any further supplies of merchandise to that place.
PHILADELPHIA, July 20.
The arrival of the French 64 gun ship, with a number of armed vessels on our coast, has entirely opened the navigation of the Delaware and the Chesapeake, the British cruisers having thought proper to provide for their own safety, by prudently repairing to Sandy-Hook.
The above ship was in the action with Count de Grasse, was engaged for several hours with two British 74's, and had 90 men killed, besides a great number wounded. She is supposed to be one of the twelveth sailing ships in the world.
A few days ago, a New England brig, outward bound from Alexandria, commanded by Capt. Simmons, was attacked with great vigor, by two of the enemy's bages, near the mouth of Potowmack. After a desperate conflict, the assailants were repulsed, with the loss of between 20 or 30 men killed and wounded, 18 of whom, it is asserted, were buried on an adjacent island. This gallant defence was attended with many singular heroic exploits the particulars of which we have not obtained.
July 24. Two capital seizures of British goods have been made within these few days. One at Derby, on their way from this city to Baltimore, the other near Egg Harbour river, concealed in a swamp.
When the Court Martial, which sat in New-York for the trial of Lippencutt, had finished their business, they delivered the minutes of their proceedings, made into a roll, sealed at both ends, without a direction, to Grany Robertson, the Governor, but unfortunately the old creature lost them out of her pocket, in the street. Whether she had taken a drop too much, or was busily employed in thinking about sweating half-joes, or making money by telling public stories, is not known, but the minutes were lost; and it is thought that if they are not found, Lippencutt must be tried over again, that new minutes may be made. To prevent this trouble, the Hon. Hugh Wallace has offered a reward of three guineas for finding the said roll. What a blundering pack they are!
July 27. Monday morning last the Duke de Lauzun's legion reached Baltimore; the remainder of the French army will arrive in a few days, as they were near that town when the legion arrived there. It is generally acknowledged, that the regular moral deportment of this respectable army, reflects the highest reputation on both officers and soldiers.
F I S H - K I L L, August 1.
His Excellency Gen. Washington returned from Philadelphia to head-quarters the 27th ultimo.
A fleet of victuallers have lately arrived at New-York from Cork. The fortifications in New-York, which the enemy for some time past have ceased working at, are now compleating with all possible expedition, and several new works erecting.
Desertion prevails in the enemy's army. The Fife Major, with all the sifers of one of the battalions of grenadiers, came off a few days since.
Extract of a letter from Fort Rensselaer, July 15.
"A large body of the enemy made an incursion at the German Flats. Mr. Augustus
Hess, sen. and Mr. Valentine Stawring, two inhabitants of that place, were killed and scalped; 50 horses were taken, and 18 killed; 13 horned cattle killed, and 180 drove off; 12 dwelling houses and 5 barns burnt. The party consisted of Indians, Tories and British regulars, to the amount of about 500.
"On the 17th about 50 Indians broke into old fort Hendrick, wounded one man, took two prisoners, all inhabitants, and drove off some cattle. Major Finch, who was on his return from fort Herkemer, got intelligence of this party, pursued them all day and great part of the night, but for want of provisions was obliged to give up the pursuit; on his return, in a different route, he fell in with a small party of Indians, and retook 7 horses. On the 18th two men, who were cutting hay, were taken two miles below fort Rensselaer. On the 19th two lads were killed and scalped at fort Plank. About the same time an old woman was taken prisoner, and one lad wounded, who made his escape to fort Clyde. Within these 4 days not less than 30 horned cattle and near as many horses have been taken between fort Clyde and fort Windecker. In short, the whole force of the savage British, and their indian allies from the westward, appears to be aimed at this devoted country."
"On the 22d nine inhabitants were carried off from the neighbourhood of Frey's Mills chiefly boys. Several parties have been in pursuit of them, but without success. These parties have it not in their power to pursue, for the want of salt provisions; they have, however, been the means of recovering several horses, which were carried off from the inhabitants."

PHILADELPHIA, July 16. An Ordinance for the better distribution of Prizes in certain cases.
B E it ordained by the United States in Congress assembled, that so much of the ordinance entitled "An ordinance ascertaining what captures on water shall be lawful," as ordains, that upon the capture of a vessel commissioned as a man of war, or a privateer, by any of the vessels of war of the United States of America, the whole of the property condemned, shall be adjudged to the captors, be, and the same is hereby repealed. And that in all such cases of capture, the whole of the property condemned shall be adjudged to the use of the captors, if the vessel taken shall be of equal or superior force to the vessel making the capture; if otherwise, one half only shall be adjudged to the captors, and the other half to the use of the United States, and shall after condemnation, be so appropriated, unless the United States in Congress assembled, in reward of distinguished valour and exertion, shall otherwise specially direct.
And be it further ordained by the authority aforesaid, that the resolution of the 15th day of November 1776, giving to the commanders, officers and men of ships or vessels of war, a bounty for every cannon and for every man belonging to British ships or vessels of war, captured by them, be, and the same is hereby repealed.

Extract of a letter from General Greene, dated Bacon's bridge, South Carolina, May 31.
"Flying parties of the British cavalry are frequently making excursions into the country from Charlestown, with no other object, that I can learn, but that of distressing the inhabitants. Two days past, a body of our dragoons, under Lieut. Col. Laurens, fell in with 30, below Dorchester, commanded by Capt. Dawkins, whom they instantly charged and routed, taking from him seven dragoons and one Lieutenant, with ten horses and accoutrements compleat. We had three men wounded, and two horses killed."
"The army, notwithstanding our long inactivity, and the supposed unhealthiness of the situation, have enjoyed an uncommon share of health."
BOSTON, August 8.
Capt. Barney, in the ship Washington, has arrived at Chester (Pennsylvania) from the Havanna. On his passage he took a brig from Jamaica, with a cargo of 200 hogsheads rum, which was carried into the Cape. It is said this ship has brought part of a considerable loan to the United States; the rest having arrived at Baltimore a few weeks since.
Sunday evening last, arrived at Providence a cartel from Charlestown (S. C.) which place she left last Sunday se'nnight, —By a gentleman who came in her, we are informed, that two days after sailing they fell in with a French fleet of 13 sail of the line, off the Delaware, with which they kept company until Thursday following, during which time our informant was on board one of the ships; by what could be learnt from the officers on board, they were bound to this port, after cruising a few days off New-York.
The day on which the above cartel made this fleet, the Ambasure, of 40 guns, then with the fleet, gave chase to a sail, who, when come up with, proved to be the St.
Margaret, of 44 guns (British) when a severe action ensued, which terminated against the former; but the Iris soon coming up bro't her off, with the loss of two of her masts, and otherwise damaged.
We also learn, that the British had evacuated Savannah (in Georgia) upon the summons of Gen. Wayne; and that some of the baggage had arrived at Charlestown. There was the greatest preparation for an evacuation at Charlestown, the heavy cannon and baggage being on board their ships.
A letter from P'Orient of June 3, says, "The States of Holland have rejected all the terms for a separate peace offered them by the new ministry of Britain.—The part they have taken in acknowledging your independence, has given a turn to affairs in Europe. Their purse-strings are opening in your favor, inasmuch as to set on foot a loan of five millions of florins for America."
It is remarkable (says a correspondent) that the lightening becomes every year more and more destructive on this continent. Of late there is scarce a week but affords from one state or another melancholly narrations of lives lost and damages done by this dangerous element. About a fortnight ago, in a thunder storm that was attended at Philadelphia with an unusual fall of rain, a number of ladies sitting in a house a mile or two out of the city, had their caps set on fire by a flash that was instantly followed by a very loud and tremendous thunder. Fortunately however, the flame was extinguished without doing any further considerable damage. It was conjectured that the multiplicity of wires and pins used in the construction of these very complicated machines, attracted the lightening, to the great terror and danger of the owner.
It is seriously recommended to all ladies amongst whom this kind of caps are in vogue, to provide themselves with conducting wires, which may carry off the electrical fire into a basin of water without endangering the lives of those who are already universally acknowledged to be the most attractive objects in the lower creation.
