Our Communication with Barbary, from awhence we were fupplied, is fhut up. The Caufe of it was this : a Frigate they bad been five Years building at Sallee, and jufl fitted out, fell in in the Night awith the Syren, of 20 Guns, awhick lbe ran clofe up to, and Ja- utedwith a general Difcharge of Great &5 Small drms ; the Compliment was returned you may be fure ; and this Sort of Civility paffed betaveen them for an Hour and balf ; the Syren difmafled ber, and it blowing pree- ¥y frefb,weflerly Wind, and being juft undc~ Cape Spar- s¢l, fhe Jaw ber drive afbore, where fbe was obliged Yo leavve ber, for fear of being inbayed ; /be went fo Pieces immediately, and all the Creav,confifting of above 400 (except thofe who were killed in the Action) pe- vi/bed by the Sea, four only excepted.

London, April 29. The fecond Exprefs that came over this Week from the Hague, is faid to have brought an Account of great Ferments and Commo- tions in Poland, that Nation being divided into two Parties ; one for the Ruffians, anc the other for Prof- fia : The Pruflian Party is more powesful than the other, his Polifh Majefty baving but few Friends there, and the Poles in general hating the Ruffians. ‘The Ruffian Troops continue advancing, and a Bat- tle betwixt them and the Pruffians was daily ex- pected. The Flanders Mails thatarrived this Day bro’tno- thing worth mentioning. They only affert, that the Eleftor of Bavaria propofes to furnifh the French With 6000 Men, to be fent into Bohemia; that the Fleet failed from Bieft, for the Weft Indies, with a fair Wind, oa the 7th Inflant ; and that her Im- perial Majefty has eftablithed a Lottery for two Millions of Florins at Antwerp. =By a private Let- ter we are affared fhe has borrowed four Millions from the incorparated Companies of Tradefmen in Vienna, in order to provide for. the Security of that City, and the Archdutchy of Auftria. @ A The frethefi Advices from Pomerania fay, that bi- therto the Pruffians have only blockaded Stralfund ; but that as Joon as a Train of Ariillery arvived they pro- pofed 1o befiege that Fortrefs in Form.

T O N, June 26. : Extral of @ Letter from an Officer on board the Pri- wateer Brig Defiance, Efek Hopkins Commander, be- longing to Providence, dated on board, on the North Side of Hifpariola, 27th May, 1748 + ¢ The Veflel by whom you have this, failed from Breft about 10 Weeks ago, with 5 . Sail of Men of War and 11 Sail of Merchant Ships, bound to this Place, which I believe are not yet got in, and this being the firft we have had any Account.of, wé took the z4th Inft. within.s Leagues of the Cape.

Sea, for the 15 Ships of the Line deftined for that Place from France, are ftop’d on Account of Sicknefs on board, and not being fufficient to withftand the Englith Fleet. It feems they are well acquainted in France with our Defigns in Ame- rica, and mfich fear the Confequence. We have a Confirmation of the glorious ViQtories obtained by the King of Pruffia over the French and Auftriane ; and likewife hear that a Spanifh War isdaily expeét- ed, as there is great Preparation in all Parts of Spaid befides feveral unreafonable Demands made by his Catholic Majefty, of the Xing of Portogal, which muft confequently draw us into a Quarrel.” : Several Veflels.arrived here fince our laft from Halifax, the Mafters of whom f{ay, that no Advice had been received there from the Fleet fince they fail’d, which was near three Weeks.. As they came out of the Harbour they faw a Quantity of Fioar and Bilcuit with feveral other Things floating on the Water, which makes it fear’d that fome Englifh Store-fhip has lately been caft away near Halifax, as fimekof the Bifcuit which they took up had theKing's ark. e Friday Morning laft returned here from a Cruize of fix Months, the privateer fhip Pownal, Captain Semple, having therein taken five Prizes, which have already been mentioned ; and we hear has made a tolerable good Cruize : Tn his paflage hither he took a.fmall French Pettiauger of 4 carriage and 8 fwivel Gans, and 25 Men, near Saba ; fhe was fitted out at Martineco : Capt.
