LONDON,
THURSDAY,' JANUARY 23, 1 EOG.

Admiral RUSSEL'S Flag 'Ship the Majestic has
arrived at Yarmouth, and the Princess of Orange;
of 74 guns, for whose safety some apprehensioks
were entertained, has also arrived at that Port.
It has 'for some days past been reported, that a
second Squadron had, escaped from Brest, and that
an EneMy's Fleet of 14 Sail of the Line had been
seen at sea. There is no foundation for this re-
port ; it originated from the statement, of the
Captain of a Swedish Vessel, who was under the
convoy of the Arethusa, when she fell in-with a
Squadron of seven Sail of the Line and four Fri.
gates, which we mentioned,sofne time ago.

Yesterday in the House of Lords, Lord MEL-
VILLE put in his Answer to the Articles of Im-
peachment exhibited against him. The Answer is

By the last accounts from the Cape of Good
Hope, we learn that the Americans had purchased
all the coffee arid spices of the 'Merchants, at very
high rates. , All the English, who v,-ere very nume-
rous, were living at Stettenbosch, nJt being per-.
mitted to reside within the town. 13enr,a1 piece-
goods were much in demand, and provisions scarce
and dear. Much discontent prevailed among the
Troops for want of regular pay ; the inhabitants
were also dissatisfied with the Government; and it
was the general opinion, the Governor must sur-
render on being summoned by an Enemy,. as there
were not more than 2000 men, and those not to be
depended on ; so confident were some of the Mer-
' chants of the Settlement soon being in possession of
the English; that orders have been received to get
ready particular assortments of goods, to be shipped
immediately for that market, they are in want of
all European commodities.
