from the Savannah on the 4th June last, mounts twenty 32-
puuntbv, and two kw eighteens, with 165 choice men In high
spirits, and apparently anxious to meet a British vessel of t qua!
or even superior force. The sloop of war was in the south chan-
nel as far as Tuskar, but the weather becomiog very hazy, she
put about and ran along' the west coast of lretand down to Ennis-
trahul, then along the back of liday cud the Lewis Iola; ratted
the Prussian ship shout 65 miles stich of St. Kilda.
" The Peacock had destroyed twelve vessels on the cruises
and notblog but the thick,weather prevented the damage being
much more extensive, as it was the erigiaal intention to clear
the South channel. Sbe had not met with a British ship of war
since she lei': the Aniencius station.
" From the inquiries made of Captain Moray, relative to
those islaods, It is his opinion that the Peacock immediately mail:

for the American.

From the letters by the Dutch Mail which were
delivered trom the Post Office yesterday, it appears
that the John Adams, the sailing of which ship for
America was so confidently reported, still remains
without a sail set in the Texel, and her present in.
sanctions are to take her departure on Thursday, ths
25th inst. but at all events to wait until she receives
d'spatches from the American Commissioners at
Ghent. The only ships the Commissioners will then
have at their disposal in Europe, are the Neptune.
Captain Jones, and the Chauncey, Ctaptain Dusts.
TER. the former of about 32 tons, was purchased ex.
pressly for their accommodation, and it was intended
that in her they should return. One of our letters
from Amsterdam, however, mentions, that it is ex.
Ipetted this vessel will sail about ten days after the
John Adams, and that she will take our the ulti,
maturn of the. British Government, with observe:ions'
on the probable result of the negociation.
The IliirA.-nester has arrived at Portsmouth from
the Havannah, which place she left on :he 4th of
July ; but by some vessels which boarded her from
the. same port, she obtained letters tint Europe, dated
the 10th of that month. The CONQUOTADOEI roan
of war had reached the liavannah from Jamaicas
and it was intended that, .ahe should join the fleet
from thence. Tote seas in the neighbouthood of the
Island of Cuba swarmed wiis priest:a:l and pirates
every description. One of the:atter tcmk threw
vessels, which were prizes to a Spanish slop of 211
guns, although she hers. 4 had old! two guns on
board. On the Spsni..rd's appealing at the Havan-
nah, after this disgrace or misfortune, his a,,0100r
was, that his crew would not tight. The ilurtr,omas...e
met with the YAlt, American ship, which had twelve
long guns and six cArronades. Her crew cynsisted
chiefly of negroes and boys, and which ronstere4

A Geatleman who was passenger by the B,irgo.
master, was at St. Domingo in the month of Jur.e,
and he swes, that bath King Hasse and President
PETON were making prep...reit:us tor a terribk
test, which it was expected would !determine the fate
,:f the island. All the important occurrences in En.
rope were known there, but they seemed to have pro-
duced nn effect on the minds of the pretenders to
poi*er ; and there appeared not the slightest dispesk-
aim in zither of the competitors to resign his autho-
rity to the parent State.
The fleet of Parton was d7smansied, but HENRY
had three or four ships at sea. Here also Pirates
,infested every part of the adjacent waters, and sailed
under all colours, as plunder directed.
A Letter from Copenhagen, dated Aug. f.l; says ;
" We learn that the Swedes have taken the Island of
Kragera, atter a resistance whiCh cost them 1600
men. Their attacks were directed upon five points,
but they were repulsed at three. The Norwegians
dismounted several pieces of cannon, and desttoyed
14) sail of the 'Swedish flotilla: they yielded to the
numbers and the obstinacy of the assailants. The
inhabitants of Frederickstadt have •evacuated their
houses, declaring to the Common enemy, that he may
do what he pleases with their houses, but that he
shall never make them Swedes. In the mean time
the Swedes, by the occupation of this Island, have ac-
quired a great preponderar.ce at sea. The country is.
its short, well attacked and well defended."
