An account from Bengal rays, the Dutch fhip,
the Con(lance, commanded by Captain PETER
KAMP, has had the misfortune to run upon the
Breakers off Madagafcar, and was heat to pieces,
on the 18th day of December ; the windlbcing vio-
lent, and the fea running very high, only one
Dutch failor, two Spaniards, and two.Portrignefd;
were raved, out. of isoperfons that were on board.
A private letter received by the LADY Directs,
lately arrived from Bengal, informs us that advice
had been received at that Prefidenci by a Danifh
fhip of the State of the Spani(h Settlement of Ma-
nilla. It appears, that in confequgnct of Arne'
fecret intehigence having been received by the Gds
venor from the Ifle of France, the (Iron' town of
Cavina had been doubly garrifoned; the calif; and
harbour had received ferreal additional piecr% of
cannon. The Spaniards have alto fent a confide-'
rable reinforcement to Samboangun, and fortified
the place. The confternatinn created through all
the Philippine Minds, on the intelligence oT the
late expedition trona India, was very great. The
Government are laid to be much agitated at Ma-
nilla. Great difcontents had prevailed with the
Militia, who are reprefented to be in the molt
wretched Rate poffible. Five frigates are Elated to
be at Cavita, but in no refpeCl fit for fea. One fri-
gate only has her lower malls in ; the others are
mere hulks. Dots ALLOWAS has the direCtion of,
all the gun-boats, which amount to nn more than
nine. The Governor's nephew has the command
of the Militia. The various goods in . warehoufe
at Manilla, are Paid to amount to 14,000,c00 of
dollars. The gun-boats carry one 32-pounder.
