GIBRALTAR, JANUARY 6.

Yellerday the W►AZcs Hoop of war failed for
the fleet in Oriilan Bay.
By accounts from Tangier. we learn that two
Danilh, a Spanifis, and a french 'hip have been
wrecked to the fouthward of that place, during
the late (forms.

The diareffed Rate of the Spanifit finances forms
a (hocking contraft to the fpfendour of that Court,
Their Navy have received no pay there three years*
and at Carthagena, they have difcharged moll of
the artificers from the Dock-yards and Arfenal, on
account of the expence. Yet fuch is the profttfiat
in fome departments, that in the late Royal tour,
all the water that was ufed for drinking, by thf
Royal Family and their attendants, was brought
from Madrid to Barcelona upon mules, at the
expence of upwards of one thoufand pounds ilea•
ling a day.
The Qsta preferred the water from Madrid,
anal of courfe none of the Court could drink any
other.

Some thoufands of the inhabitants were obliged
to quit their houfes to make room for the attend-
ants of the Court, and to leave every article of
furniture behind for their ufe, while Jona BULL on
a fimilar occasion would have been dicing five
guineas a night for a bed.
The CYNTHIA falls for England the moment
the wind comes eafierly.
If you have had as many abfurd (}Dries written
home, as have been propagated here, you mull
have thought the garrifon in great danger : among
other rumours it was currently reported and be-
lieved, tl \at the Spanimds had marched 3spoo mete}
down to the lines, and had fent (pies to offer a
large fum of money, and a per.llon for life to every
foldier who would give up the garrifon. An O.
ficer was in oonfequence fent into Spain, to ex-
amine if the Spaniards were making any extraor-
dinary movements, but he found as few Spaniards
as Wind, and in their lines ; both guards and (en-
tries afleep I
Jam to.—We have had a (tries of the wort
weather and the moth violent gales of wind for a
month pall that has occurred in the memory of
the older! inbahitant. Yetterday and lall night it

again blew a hurricane. This morning no Id:
than fourteen veifels were dircovered on !Lore it
the bottom of the bay, fe•eral of which will be

wrecks: only one of them is Engl(h; the reit are
French, Dutch, or Spanill.
The behaviour of the Garrifon, fince the late
diaurbance, has been moll exemplary, and every
thing now goes on with tits ufual regularity and
fobriety.

The CYNTHIA lisop of war, detkined for Eng-
land, Rill remains wind•bound.

JAN. 13.—Ten Mtn of the asth Regiment be-
fides the three who were executed, were condemned

to death, but pardoned by His Royal Highnefs the
Duke of KIIIIT. They were yellerday embarked on

board the CTISTNIA, which fails the &a fair
*kid for England.

The American Papers to the sth, which we

St. Domingo, but no details are given ; nothing
very important has yet occurred. The French Ge-

The American Journals recommend the Union to

be the only power likely to refill his progrefs;—
and that he should not be furprifed if it became
the policy of America to coalefce with England in
