: T OaNy DO Ny e Feb. 23. In a private letter from Breflau there is this remarkable relation : that fome ‘overtures of peace having been made by his Pruffian'Majefty to the King of Poland, which the latter feemed to ap- prove, a debate arofe in-<council about the terms on which it was to be obtained ; in the courfe of which count Bruhl, the Saxon minifter (who had been the caufe of all the misfortunes that have befallen his country) made ufe of fome indecent expreflions to the eldeft Prince of Poland, which fo provoked his highnefs, that he drew his fword and ftabb’d the old traitor to the heart. Other letters feem to confirm the account of this minifter’s difgrace, but none {peak of his death except thisjult mentioned. The fame letters add, that Schweidnitz is entirely evacuated by the inhabitants, and that there are none but Auftrian {oldiers in the town, who find the greateft difficulty imaginable to fubfift. Feb. 25. We are advifed from Lifbon, that on the 31t ult, about fix in the Morning, they felt a new fhock of an Earthquake, which lafted half a Minute, and was accompanied by a fubterraneouns Noife. Tho’ it caufed no Damage, @ more violent thock was not felt fince that of Nov. 1, 1755. The Braflels Gazette fays, that the Raffians have taken Pofleflion of Elbing ; that on the 11th inft. an Exprefs arrived at Breft, with orders to fit out, with the utmoft Diligence, 22 Ships of the Line, 10 Fri- gates, 8 Bomb Veflels, and rgTranfports ; the Fleet isto be viQualled for four Months, and to take on board 14,000 regular Troops and 400 Militia, to execute a fecret Expedition. March 4. The report of the mafter of the Invin- cible “having received fome damage by falling, or any other accident, is entirely groundlefs ; he being as well in health as the melancholy fituation will ad- mit of. He is now a prifoner on board the Royal Aann, in order to be tried by a court martial. Lord C s H—y, formerly major general of the forces in America, has refigned his commiffion in difguft to Lord L——n, who had inadvertently put him under arreft atter he had accepted his refigna- tion. This affair, in all likelihood,will make a great clamour in Wefiminfter hall, when the parties con- cerned arrive in England. ‘The following is faid to be a compleat Lift of the Epglith, French, and Spanith Fleets. ENGLISH. ‘3156 Line of Battle Ships, ’, 1g Frigates, carrying from 4o to 1z Guns, 46 Bombs, Yatchis, Hoys, Hulks, &c. 320> Befides which, there is now on the Stocks, in great Forwardnefs, four Ships tocarry 74 Guns, two of 70, four of 64, fix of 36, and ten of 28 Guns, the latter of which are moftly built of Fir, and are to carry 12 Pounders. .

X0 ngch to man only as Englith Ships are manned, would require 30,999 feamen ; a Namber very diffi- cult ta be found in Spain. March 9. 'The French left above 8ooco fick in the city of Hanover, ‘The bill depending in parliament for the impor- tation of live cattle and tallow from Ireland, is likely to pafs into an alt. We may expect very {oon to hear of a fea engage- ment, as the Admiral of the French {quadron which {ailed from Carthagena the 5th ult. had received po- fitive orders to endeavour te make his way through - the Englifh fleet, if they attempted to moleft him. We are told by fome private Letters from Breflav, brought over by the lait Dutch Mail, that about " swenty Perfons have been lately executed in that City (among whom there is a Monk) fer a Conlpi- racy to cut off the King of Pruflia, either by Poifon, Pifto! or Dagger, according as Opportunity might offer ; Upon which thefe Letters obferve, thatthe Bithop of Breflau may have been concerned in the Plot ; and was indeed fufpeted by his Pruffian Ma- jefty ; notwithftanding which, he was not clofely watch’d, but in fome manner fuffered to flip away to Vienna, where (they thiok) he has been advifed to go to Rome, leaft the Imperial Court fhou!d be fuf- peded to have had a hand in the Confpiracy. Other Letters from Breflau relate the Affair thus: That his Pruffian Majefty was attempted to be af- PortsmouTh : Printed by D, Fowss, of whom this Paper may be had for O Dollar per Ana. or an e < “faffinated by two of his geaeral Oficers; and the Abbe Deprade ; the latter of the three Aflaffins en- joyed a large Penfion from the King of Pruffia. As -{oon as their Defign was difcovered ; the two Gene- ~rals were immediately hanged, ‘and the Peénfioner was drawn to Pieces by 4 Horfes. We hear a Scheme is drawing up, to be prefented to the Government, for the fpeedy difcharging the ‘Debt of the Navy. The Irene, Jacobfon, from New York to Lon- don, is taken by a French privateer of Louifbourg. The , Vavafon, from New.York, and the , Malcom, from' Bofton, for Madeira, are taken and carried into Louifbourg. It is rumoured, thata certain -great perfonage will foon refame his employments. Yefterday Florence Henfey, M. D. was 'by the Right Hon. the Earl of Holdernefle, one of his Ma- jefty’s Principal Secretaries of State, committed to New gate, being charged with High Treafon, in aiding and affifting the King's Enemies. Extrad of a Lettir from Carthagena, dated Feb. 7. ¢ The 5th Inftant failed from this port, theFrench fquadron under the command of M. de la Clue, con- filting of 7 fhips of the line and four frigates ; they fteered weftward, witha ftrong gale of wind at eaft.” PHILADELPHIA, April 27. Extra& of a Letter from London, dated Fan. zo. ¢ I was yefterday at the Houfe of Commons, and had the Pleafure of finding,by the Speeches made by Mr. Pitt, and others, that there was a ftrong Difpofi- tion in the Houle, to carry on the War-in America with the atmoft Vigour, and to make it the chief Obje& of their Attention. Pounds was then unanimoufly voted,as a prefent Sup- p'y for the Support of the Hanoverian Forces, who, it is expeéted, will now a& vigoroufly againft the French in that Quarter, and confequently be of great Service both to the Pruffians and this Nation.” On Saturday laft a Law was pafled here, granting One Hundred Thoufand Pounds to His Majefty’s Service. Extrad of a Letter from a Gentleman in Winchefler, dated April 18, ¢ A very unlucky Accident lately happened in this Neighbourhood. On Sunday, the gth Inftant, David Miller, a Countryman,was fired at from bebind fome Rocks near the Houfe of Aaron Jenkins, about 18 Miles from Winchefter ; fome of the Country Peo- ple going out afterwards, faw two Men, painted and drefled like Indians, who, on perceiving them, ran off with great Precipitation. The Neighbours be- ing greatly alarmed at this, went to Pattifon’s Fort, to inform the commanding Officer therewith, on which Enfign Coleby Chew was ordered out with a Party of Men; he foon fell upon their Traéts, and continued on them till he bad croffed the North Mountain, where he found a Beef, with Part of the hind Quarters taken,off, and the Tongue cut out in the Indian Manner :" About a Mile from thence he faw two Men at a Fire ; he advanced within a few Yards of them, and intended to have made them Pri- foners, but one of his Seldiers firing, difcovered him to the Men, who inmediately endeavoured to lay hold of their Guns. Mr. Chew then, fearing that fome of his Party might lofe their Lives, fired upon them, and his Mean followed his Example fo effectu- ally, that fcarce one Bullet mifled the Objeét it was aimed at. The Perfons proved to be the famous Jacob Lane, killed on the Spot,and James Cox, who, tho’ mortally wounded, lived long encugh to tell the Soldiers they had done theirDuty, and that Lane and him{e!f deferved what they had met with. They were both painted and drefled fo like Indians, even to the Cut of the Hair, that their moft intimate Ag- quaintances could not diftinguith them. s It is not eafy to aflign the Reafons that induced thefe unhappy Perfons, who had acquired great Re- putation by their fignal Services, to aét in the Man. ner they did. Anauthentick Enquiry has been made by a Court of Officers into Enfign Chew’s Condu&t on this Occafion, when Matters appeared much to his Honour and Credit.™ Capt. Baffet, from Providence, bound here, foun- dered at Sea on the 2d Inftant ; the People were taken up by the Britannia Tranfport from South- Carolina, and carried into New- York. On Sunday Capt. All arrived here from the fame Place, and informs, that a few Days before he failed a Dutch Sloop was fent in there by Capt. Roberts, in a Privateer of that Port. Capt. Callender, in his Paffage to Jamaica, was ate tacked by a French Privateer, who epdeavoured to board him, but he beat -him off, and got clear, with- out receiving any Damage. dddddddddddddddddddd From the Boston News LErTer, May 4.
