We are informed that Capt. Sear] in the Ship True-Briton, laden with Stores from this Place bound to Louifbourg and Quebec, was blown off the Coaft about the fame Time, and arrived fafe at Aniigua. The Veffels which have arrived at the Southern Governments from Forcign Places, have met (in the Months of December and January ona thofe Coafts) with very cold fevere Weather, the Winds ftrong at W.S.

We have alreadj propofed to treat, becaufe we canaot hope to be in a better fituation to make peace ; and the French muft agree, becaufe in truth, they are not able to carry on the war lenger. And if Mr. PITT (and no body doubts it) is as careful to makefan honourable peace, as he has been indaftri- ous to carry on the war with vigour, we fhail indeed make a glorious figure. We are apt, you know, to compare paft times with the prefent, and to give the preference to the lormer ; but it is now allowed on all hands, that better times were never feen in Britain than the prefent.

So greatly have things al- tered here, in a few years, by the virtue, f3irit, and {agacity of one man.” : Extralt of another letter from London, Dec. 20, 1759. «The Parliament have railed eight millions of new money, to py the interelt of which, an additional duty of three pence is put on every bufhel of malt, It is computed that our expence of this year (to come) will be very little fhort of fifteen millions ; for already upwards of eleven are appropriated. Priffia has the fame fubfidy as the Jaft year, fix hundred and feventy thoufand pounds. Had the government wanted 12 millions, they could have raifed it with as much eale as they did the eight millions.
