EMBARKATION OF TROOPS.

roarsscourn, MAY 4.
" All is buflle here—this town and all the neigh-
bourhood is crowded with troops embarking for the
Cape, India, or for the Expedition. The 3oth and
47th Regiments arc now nearly all on board, part
of the 59th is next to be embarked for the Cape.
'Very large bodies of recruits for the Company's Eu-
ropean regiments, and for all the King's Regiments at
the Cape and in India, have been embarked, viz. the
53d, 56th, 66th, 75th, 76th, 77th, 78th, Both, 83d,
84th, 86th, 94th, and the Swift. Regiment De Mau-
amt. Several Staff Officers are expeded, and it is
Paid, one Admiral and feveral Generals, befides a
new Governor General.

The accounts from Gibraltar, refpediag an appre-
hended attack on Portugal, ars not confirmed by the
letters from Litho') by the Mail. Letters from Lilbon
of the 16th tilt. mention, that a rumour of an attack
urn Portugal, by the Spaniards, was in circulation,
but no credit was attached to it.

The French frigate, which had been for fome time
In the T.gus, we are lorry to learn, had made her
accept, and failed for France.

We learn, by letters of the zd of April, from
Gibraltar. that Mr. CA erwatc trr had gone on board
the Poops*, Sir Simi klf Shim', to be conveyed back
to Algiers, the differences between the Dry and this
country having been accommodated.

A Meleager from Pcterfburgh arrived with the
tiarnhorgh mail of Saturday. A report was in con-
Aqtence Circulated, that his ilifpatches related to a
Congres, about to be held under the aufpices of
Ruda for a General Peace, Ruffle and Pruffia having
Come to Ibme underftanding. We do not believe
there is the leaß truth in this report : on the contrary
we have received the far more probable information,
that the Ruffian Minißer at the former Court, M.
d'Axoraus, has related to treat with Count HAVG•
; and that, in confequence, a third Cabinet
Minifler had been appointed in the perfon of the
Count de Klex.sa, who was formerly Minifler at
Bt. Pcterfburg, Vienna, Stockholm, and the Hague,
*ad who has lately lived in retirement.
ft is 'arena that France has agreed to fnrnifh
Pruffia with 120,000 auxiliaries, in cafe the fhould
be attacked by Ruffle.

DUTCH AND FRENCH JOURNALS,
The latter to the 38th tilt. and the former to the
id infant, reached us juft as this Paper was going
to Preis.

The Paris Papers announce the adoption by the
Legiflative Body of the Law of the Finances, and
that upon the fubjeft of the Cufloms. They contain
ho other intelligence of any importance, except the
teturn of Prince MURAT from the Duebitts of Berg
and Cleves, and the arrival of the Commißioners
ftom the I3atavian Republic to the Court of France.
