Stacy arrived at Marblehead in 39 ¢ Days from Lifbon, by whom we have the follow- ing Advices, viz. Prince Ferdinand's Head Quarters at Marbourg, Fan.8. P ON advice being received here, that the poft at Dillenbourg was attacked and clofgly. prefled by the enemy, his ferene highne(s fet cut from hence at one o'clock yefterday morning in order to relicve it. - And to day we received informaticn, that the relief was moft happily eficéted laft night by M. de Dernthal, one of his ferene highncls’s aids de camp. Seven hundred of the Frenca were taken on this occafion, with about 40 officers, among whom is M. Paravicini ; as allo feven pair of colours, and fwo pieces of cannon. . Vienna, Fan 10. From M. Daun’s head quarters inSaxony, we have advice, that the Pruflian troops were advancing from Willdruff,in order to approach Drefden ; but that the feverity of the froft had proved very detrimenal, not only among the {aid troops, but the Auftrians : In the mean time both ermies are within a league of each other, {o that an action was fpeedily expeéted. Ratifton, Fan. 8. By the pofition of the two armies ih Saxony, we every inftant expet to receive from thofe quarters news of the laft importance; efpecially fince we know that the hereditary prince ofBrunfwick has joined the Pruffisn army with his corps, and a very confiderable train of heavy artillery; and thatM. Paun, who is extremely embarraffed in receiving fubfiftence, would be obliged either to rifk a battle, or refolve to pafs with his whole army into Bohemis, and fo abandon Drefden, and the whole electorate of Saxony to the King of Pruffis. Berlin, Fan. 3. We expeét every inftant news of the utmoft importance ; for the King, being joined by the corps under the hereditary prinee, detached from the allied army, was preparing in good carncit to attack M. Daun, before he can be reinforced by feversl fmall corps which he had caufed to file off towards Bohemia. Hanover, Fan. 4. According to the laft advices from our army, they had no thoughts of entering into winter quarters; and Prince Ferdinand, very far from apprehending an attack from the French, (eemed de- firous of an opportunity to engage them. His ferene highnefs has sgain caufed a large corps of troops to advance towards Gieflen, and that place is fo clofely blocked up on every fide, that, as nothing can go in or out, they did not doubt but that in a fzw days it would be obliged to furrender. ‘ L 0 N . Du0:N: ~ Fan. 8. 'The General Wolfe, Diamond, from Bofton, is arrived at Plymouth. Nineteen fhips of the line are ordered to be fheathed dire@ly, fuppofed for the Weft Indies. - Orders are given for getting ready a fufficient reinforcement of troops, ftores, and other neceflaries for the garrifon of Quebec : at which place feveral new forts are to be erefted, as allo firong bateries on the banks of the river St. Lawrence, in order to fruf trate all defigns of the French to recover that place. Thereare as great preparations making now,in ti e equipment of our fleets, as ever were known in the memory of man : [t is confidently afferted, thata grand fleet of 28 fhips of the line, and three ftrong {quadrons, each having with them a proportionable namber of land forces, will be ready to fail the latter end of March at fartheft. Fan. 17. By yefterday's mail the court has received advice, that the Duke of Broglio, baving received ad- vice, that in the town of Diilenburg and its caltle, there was but a feeble garrifon (about 100 men under « Hanoverian captain) refolved to take that place if pofiible, and for this end, detached a corps of about 8000 men, under the command of the Marquis de Voyer. The captain being apprized of it, gave no- tice to Prince Ferdinand,and defired proper fuccours. Mean while the captain was fammoned, and upon declaring his refolution to defend the place to theJaft . drop of blood, he was attacked very furioufly. He made a g»/lant defence until the fuccours came up, and att -/ ed the French in the rear, who were put to thesout. On this occafion, the enemy’s lofs is reckon: <l at 2 500 men,among which are 700 prilon- ers, be' f2s 7 puir of colours, and 2 pieces of cannon. Col <o Luglkner was at the fame time very {uc- cefsful 'n anc her place, having attacked a large body of the i rencly, and cut moft of them to pieces. He had fintin 1/57 prifoners, and 354 horles, &c. . Baron de £ -heiier has likewile given the Frencha great blow near Wefel, where he attacked a large body of them, which he defeated, and fent in 279 prifoners, with a great boety. ' Fan. 22. On Sunday evening Admiral Hawke arrived in town from Plymouth, and yefterday waited on his-Majefty, and was moft gracioufly received. *Tis aflured that as the French court remains per- emptory in their flipulations for a general peace, proper preparations are making for {ending a pow- erfuf flect to America ; and aitempt the reduttion of Martinceo, and thata proper number ¢t men of war are to remain all the winter on the ETENCH Coa ks 1 to be powerfully reinforced in the I[pring, witha body of land forcet and marines, to make a powerful defcent on the French coaft. Two expeditions are now preparing in order to fet out early in the fpring ; the one iz faid to be againft a fettlement of the French in the Eaft Indies, and the other in the Wecft, in both of which it is hoped we fhall fucceed ; as the perfons who laid the plans were well acquain'ed with both the places. By private letters by yefterday’s mail, it1s pofitive- ly affured, that Count Daun had received orders from his court, to give battle to the Pruflians the firfk favourable opportunity. *Tis reported; that 12 men of war of the line, are to be fitted out by the month of April, to fail to Mar tineco, with 6co00 land forces on board tranf(ports, to make a vigorous attempt in oider to reduce that ifland to the fubjc&tion of Great Britain, Fan. 26.

A N T I G U A,Feo6 Laft night Capt.

By Capt. Green we alfo hear, that g of the fhips forced inte the river Villaine by Admiral Hawke, are bulged. At the time Capt. Green left England, Admiral Holmes was almoft ready to fail with a ftrong fqua- dronand a body of land forces ; but the particular deftination of this armament can only be guefled at. CHARLES TOWN, S. Carolina, March 1: Letters from Prince George of the 24th paft, con- tain the following advices ; thatOcunnaftota, the great warrior of Chote, had befet that fort with about 30 gun men, and had wounded Lieut. - Coytmore, the commanding officer of that fort, in the left breaft, which "twas thought would prove mortal ; two other were alfo wounded, tho' not dangeroufly : That En- fign Milln upon this judged it improper and unfafe for the garrifon that the hoftages fhould continee any longer only confined to a room, ordered the foldiers to put them in irons ; and the foldiers accordingly fet about executing thefe orders, when the firlt who attempted to teke hold of an Indian, was killed on the Ipot, being ftruck on the head with a tomahawk, ftabbed in the belly with a knife, and his jaw broke ; another was wounded in the forehead ; this outrage foalarmed and incenfed the garrifon, that it wastho’t expedient to put all the hoftages to death immediately, which was accordingly done : That in the night, the Indians which were without the fort, drew near, and fired two fignal guns, and feveral times cried out in the Cherokee language, * Fight ftrong and you fhsll be aflifted,” foon sfier which the Indians began firing on all fides of the fort ; and hence it was fufpected, that it had been concerted between the hoftages within, and their friends without, to attack and maf- facre the garrifon that night ; for, upon fearching the apartment in which the hoftageslay, there was found, b-fides a bottle ot poifon, which they defigned to have emptied into the well, feveral tomahawks buried in the earth, which their friends had privately conveyed thither ; {o that the putting the hoftages to death has proved s very critical event, the garrifon being freed {rem future appiehenfions within, fl.t is v \ ain ‘ ' €'city 3 in “which: cafeche! intends to land his cargo there, . great expeQtation of the retaking of t pe | ' H Wek Indies or Euro Québec.—That the Caj ut as-early in the fpring as poflible, tot his firlt orders, but if not he intends Gy cither for the afpee.— of the o a creek for the wiater; »to puth o ) &c. and :that fhe is quite -acdording d from Bourdeaux ovifions, arms, ammupition, afhe fail -treatment from the Captain, that many of furrender of have deferted fince her being at argo confifts of pr brandy, blankets, her crew with 64 Herc 20 only of whom are French, the reit com- wine, alon of not knowing (whe ounders, fhee, pier- their ill , &c. whoare unrigg’d, and haul’d up int firfk occalion, by re aniards, Italians t ced for 26 guns, but mounted only 22 nine p and give mann'd (when fhe failed from Bourdeaux) pos'd of difaffected Sp \ready to revolt upoa the ) - V. but nowthe h fhip at Gafpee, g George, the following Information, viz.
