Extract of a Letter from Aberdeen, dated July 19.
1606 There are just arrived here the surgeon
and about 30 of the crew of the Sims, of Leith,
which vessel went out to Greenland as a privateer, in
goe.t of Ptuuians. They bring as account of three
?nub frigates being in Greenland; one of which,
the &terrier, captured the Sams on the 30:h ult. at
&edge of the ice, and after towing her 12 days.
burnt her ; the men arrived here were pat on board
.a Dane, and landed in Shetland, They further
state, that this frigate, on the glst of June, captured
the Dia:mall, of London ; one of her er,:sr is with
these men ; the frigate is one of those which sailed
from the West coast of France. Three other ftigobi
sailed at the same time for Davis's Su eights. 11Wr
frigates in Greenland captured. on the banks of
Newfoundland, the William, of Greenock, and ano-
ther vessel ; and, on the 7th inst. captured the Boyne.
of Yarmouth, bound to Archangel." There are
many contradictory accounts respecting the Green-
land Fishery; but we think the weight of evidence
is on the side of those reports which state that an
enemy has appeared in that quarter.

Late on Monday evening, a person landed at
Deal, from Boulogne. with dispatches from Lord
Y•a MOUTH, at Paris; and early on Tuesday morn-
ing he arrived in town, at Mr. Fox's house in the
Stable-Yard. A Cabinet Council was soon after
held at Mr. Fox's Office, in Downing-street, at
which the LORD CIIIIIIIICELLOR, Lord GRINVI UAL,
Viscounts Summit ri and Howie*, Earls Seances,
FITZWILLIAM, and MOIRA, Lords 1:LLINIOROU061

On the 19th instant, the Anniversary of the
Battle of Anghrirn wurr celebrated in the town of
Armagh, with reanimated effort. A vast body of
men colletcted and headed by a few individuals of
the adjacent neighbourhood, marched in a marshall-
ed os.:er of procession. in honour of the day, car-
rying with them one hundred and eighty-six stand-
ards. 'The procession moved through the town,
and round the demesne of the Primate. In its pro-
gress. some recruits belonging to a militia regi-
ment, quartered at Armagh, and who did not view
it with perry& indifference, exchanged some angry
and reproachful terms with some or the persons be-
longing to it; and unfortunately the transition
from words to blows was rapid in the extreme.—
The Officers of the Regiment were so prompt in
terminating the quarrel, that n* seriont mischief
ensued ; and it was hoped that the matter was at
an end. In the afternoon, however, some of the
town's people that had evidently partaken of too
Mach conviviality, presented themselves before the
gates of the ►arracks, and expressed themselves in
well known terms of provocation. The Regiment
immediately got under arms, by orders from the
Officers ; and such was the obedience and steady
deportment of the old soldiers of the corps, that no
revilement or abuse could exasperate them, nor slid
'-v betray the smallest irritation; but the trouble-

kept tinder the necessary cnntmul, and the crowd I
abroad that were undiscerning in the objeit of their
reproaches, wete discouraged from proceeding to
any violence. A high spirit of irritation continued to
exist on the two following days in the town, and in
the barracks; and the dispute seas getting penitent
nn bosh sides. We do not despair, however, of
hearing that this angry spirit has stbsided. and that
the energy and example of the Magistracy have pre-
vented the ptitilic peke, Irons being threatened wilt
further intuition. We are in daily expeetation of
informatiim to that effe: t.
