Monday the 10th Inft. arrived at New Vork the General Wall Packet, in v,3 Days from Falmouth in England : By ber we bave the Sfollowing Advices, viz. C O R K, September 20, Y the India fhips arnived at Kinfale we have the following particulars, viz. That in O¢tober 1758, Col. Ford, who com- mands on the coait of Coromandel, at the head of 400 Europeans, and. 2000 Seapoys, had an engagement with Monl. Conflans (who fucceeded M. de Bufly in the cammand of the French forces) at the head of 6oo French and 7000 Seapoys,in which Col. Ford obtained a compleat Victory, having ruined the whole army and made the commander prifoner. That this Succefs was immediately followed by the furrender of a principal fort of the enemy’s, their abandoning Ford St. David’s, and the defertion of 4 or 500 of of Gen. Lally’s European troops, who had entered with Adm. Pocock as marines. That the Admiral had landed the Englith marines to affiit Col. Ford in carrying on the war, and chat it was not doubted but thefe fuc- ceffes would be attended with as important circumftances as the vittories formerly ob- tained by Col. Clive. Admiral Cornifh fail’d from Madeira the 13th of May laft, with 4 fail of the line to join Admiral Pocock, who will, on this junc- tion, be fuperior to the French fleet, from which we may reafonably hope that theFrench will be utterly ruined in the Eaft-Indies, L O N/D O N Sept. 20. Yefterday Commedore Callis kiffed his Majefty’s Hand at Kenfington, on being promoted to be a Rear Admiral of his Majefty’s Flcet.

They write from Naples, that the new king of Spain hath eftablithed a new confultation of phyficians and furgeons, to make a thorough inquiry, in prefence of the royal council of St. Clare, the two chiefs of the Rota, and Mr. Clementi, the Spanith minifter, whether, by fome defeét of his organifation, the infant don Philip, duke of Calabria, his majefty’s eldeft fon,be incapable of fucceeding him : In which cafe the infant don Carlos, prince of Tarenaum, his fecond fon, will be declared prince of Avfturias; and the infant don Ferdinand, his third fon, will be proclaimed king of Naples : and it s faid the ceremony of this young prince’s coronation will be performed before the king his father fets out for Spain.

Some Letrers, by the way ot France, fay, that the eldeft fon hath been declared incapable, by ap incurable de- feét in his underftanding,. Extrall of a Letter from an Officer on board the Nottingbam, off Brest Harbour, dated September 17. * We have beenfome time under the com« mand of the hon. Capt. Hervey,who has the Menmouth ;5 and we are now fixat anchor ins fight of the French fleet at Breft : And tho® it is a moft troublefome & dangerous ftation,’ we bear thefe inconveniencies with pleafures Thtee days ago theCommodore went in with his thip clofe (o ¢he enemy, leaving us all in a lige of bartle without him. He brought off two very large veffels that lay under a fort, laden with ftones of 6 or 700 weight each, ready cut for the repairing of their ba- fon. The next night he manned thefe vef- fels, and with the boats of his fquadron land- ed at day light on an ifland, and in fight of their fleet brought off all the cattle upon it Yefterday he laid the great ifland of Molires under contribution for cattle and greens which we got off. “ Our Captain tells me, that the Commo-' dore fent the Governor. word, that he was forry if what he had done had diftreffed the inhabitants ; but he meant it only as an in- fult to the French fleet, and to thew them and all Europe, that they could not protect their own people in their fight, much lefs dare 10 attempt the invafion of England. 'This has put our people in great {pints, it being five or {ix days frefh provifions for all the thips crews here, befides much milk for the men who have the fcurvy, which we were much in want of, as our people begin to be taken down with that diftemper. VVe are afraid that the brave Admiral Bafcawen’s fuecefs wil prevent M. Conflans from mov- ing, tho’ we do all we can with our little fquadron to provoke them to come out. Odfober 1.
