The late hour at which the letters by the Ham-
burgh Mails were delivered out on Saturday obliged
us to pollpone the principal part of their contents till
this day. We have now given very ample details.

A Ruffian Courier arrived in town early yefterday
morning from St. Petertburgb, with difpatches to
Government and the Ruffian Ambaffador here.—
The Courier came through France. On his arrival
at Calais on Saturday morning, the French Cornmif-
fary Maim so D, in confequence of direaioos from the
French Government, ufed all poffible expedition to
forward him to England. Masoavn alto gave him
a note to thew to the Englith Innkeepers, (the Courier
being unable to (peak either French or Englifh) de-
firing them to accelerate his journey.

Ameffenger from Vienna, and another from Spain,
arrived on Saturday afternoon. The d ifpatches brou gh t
by the latter, no doubt, relate to the propofitions of
neutrality, which is fuppofed to have been offered.
What the terms are which have been held out we arc
unacquainted with: but it is generally believed, that
the complete fecurity of Portugal is the principal ob-
jed Ripulated.
The Aforritetir •f the 23d arrived yefferday ; it con-

The Bithops of Verfailles, %Limper, Ghent, Metz,
and Cambray, have ilTued paftoral letters for cele-
brating public prayers for the fuccefs of the war.
The following are the grand outlines of the fpiritnal
Proclamation of Cardinal de Bettor, by divine au-
thority, and the favour of the Holy Apoftolic See,
Cardinal Prieft, Archbifbop of Paris, &c. &e.

" France (lays he, in his Exordium), our deareft
brethren, was reßing on her triumphs ; her Chief
Magißrate had, by his valour, covered her with lats•
rels, and by his wifdom augmented her territory; he
ornamented her cities, and gave energy to her com-
merce ; but how deceitful are the ways of the fleeting
world ! When we thought ourfelves in the enjoyment
of the moll pedal fecurity, the horizon lowered, the
mind was feized with uneafinefs, the alarm became
general, and war was declared—but compote your
(elves, deareß brethren; the friend of vittory will dire&
our armies; and fcarcel y have they marched out of the
territory, when we behold them matters of the canasta.

The mandate concludes with an exhortation to the
faithful, to add falling. alma, and other deeds of
piety to pulhlie prayers, in order to reader them more

efficacious, and to call dowO the aid of which they
sand in need. _ _ _

Cardinal CAusscsats, the Archbifhop of Roust('
?a his Mandate, after Rating that France takes up arms
to repel an unjua swam, proceeds in the follow-
ing ftrain :
_ _ _

" This confideratioo perfuades us that the SC/Vial/GM ARBITER
of the Deltinle. of Empires will favour our eaufe•—that be will re-
fute to our enemies his Divine pro's:di:ion, without which the remit
formidable preparations for war only lead to a more certain defeat
—that he will avinge the fir,rethefi tilrealiss, which he was invok-
ed to guarantee by our enemies 14 weu as by us

life, to cover him with his wings, &e. &c."

The Bilhop of °spasms quotes the denunciation of
the prophets Emits:. and hams againft Tyre, and
applies them to this country.
The Archbifhop of Rams has 'hewn lefs extrava-
gance in his Addrefs. He concludes try exhorting
the faithful to join falling, alms, and other works of
piety,to their prayers,to render them more efficacious.

A guard of twelve Mamelukes arrived at Boulogne
on Friday, and Boxataays, it was cuppoced, would
be there on Saturday or yefterday.

On Saturday evening an Admiralty Mellinger left
town with difpatches for the Port Admiral of Ply-
mouth.

The Commanders of the different companies of tea
fencibles are ordered to make weekly returns to the
Admiralty.

Sir Hosea POPHAM bad a long interview with the
Admiralty Boyd yelterday ; and it is rumoured? that
he is to bare the chief command of a fecreterpedttion.

It was yellerday generally reported, that Sir SYD-

the Court of Peterfburgh, is either aaually upon his
return, or will fhortly take his leave of that city.—
We are happy in being able to afore our readers that
the moll pedal harmony preeails between the Court;
of London and Peterfburgh. and that his return is
totally unconneaed with their political relations.—
Sir Jons B. W . f ys, that at a time when his
country is engaged in a war the molt ferious ever
waged againit France, it is neither confillent with
hishonour nor his inclination to as in a civil cepa-
' city, however dignified the Ration. We may, there-
fore, loon exped to fee him refume his command
upon that element where be has difplaved fo much
ability and gained fo much glory. We do not be-
lieve the peilon is yet fixed upon who Mall fucceed
him at St. Peter(burgh.
It is with pleafure we can (late, for the informa-
tion of tbofe concerned in the Jamaica trade, that
very little apprehenfion may be entertained for the
fafety of the 'Ails now homeward-bound from that
&and. The attention of Sir J. T. Docerroarr,
Commander on that Ration, to every thing which
regards the commerce of that colony, and the Oriel
difeipline which he keeps up in the fleet. do him the
gresteft honour. and Chew that be is deferving of the
great troll committed to his charge. The lateß ac.
counts from that quarter mention. that be had offi•
cially fignified to the Mayor of Kingßon, for the in-
formation of the Planters and others, that a 74 gun
'hip would leave Jamaica lot Great Britain the latter
end of May. and that the would take under convoy
any veffek then ready ; at the fame time it was un-
derftood, that be would, on application, grant a Afe
convoy to homeward bound veffels, whenever a fuffi
cient number were ready. The intelligence of war
having adually taken place with France, which mull
have reached him long before this time, would necef-
farily caufe loose change in his rneafures, as it would
oblige bins to reduce the convoys to periods for lea,.
in; that ifland, eflablifbed during the lea war; but
this circumftance can by no means leffen his merit, as
his intentions thew every difpofition to precept the
commerce of this country ; and at the fame time to
retain a refpeaable force under his command, to as
as circumltances may require.

Lieutenant-General Nuoear had jolt finifheils in
the latter end of April, a tour round the Wand, for
the purpofe of infpcaing the regular forces and mi-
litia ; the fecond be has made fine he became Lieu-
tenant-Governor of Jamaica. With regard to the
former, he found them in general very healthy, owing
to the ninny falutary regulations he has introduced,
and in good difcipline. Of the militia he has expreffed
very high appeohation.
