Itisaflured that about 4000 have died by the coldin the Ipace of 16 or 17 days., Our troops have not been wholly exempted from the inclemency of the fealon ; but his Majefty provided for them many conveniencies. Befides the great fires that have been kept up, and are flill continued in all the towns and villages where our troops are cantoned,the greateft part of them have been cloathed, and furnithed with waiftcoats 4nd half gaiters. Add to this, that their pay has been augmented ; fo that the poor fellows are very happy. Madrid, Fan. 12. 'The King and his minifters ‘obferve a profound filence in regard to the general affsirs of Europe, but the colonels of all the regimeats have received repeated ordersto compleat their corps, and the fea officers to accelerate the repairs and the conftruétion of their fhips.

They ere to carry 400 tons of warlike ftores to Martinico, and on that condition the King permits them to enjoy sll the profit that may arife from the rcft of their cargnes, together with the prizes they may tske from the ene- my. M. de la Touche Truville is to have the com- mand of this little [quadron. As the court does not intend to mske any great efforts next year by fea, orders have been fent to difarm the men of war that lie in the river Villaine, and to fend back the offizers to their refpe&ive de- partments ; and as it is determined to 2&t vigoroufly By land, there isa talk of a new militis, and of incor- porating the old into the regiments of regular troops.

A navigator lately returned from Canads, has it is faid, prefented to the court a projett, the execution of which would re eftablifth our affairs in that part of America. It is only raifing two or three millions to gain the Indisns, and reinfarce our troops, in. oxer not only to recoser our loffes, but to penetraie into the ancient cffgblifhments of the Englifh. Tliey add, that the ol ath examined the plan, and have found it praciicable, have tsken proper mea'ures to carry it into execution. N D Q. N JFanuary 31. We hear that a day will foon be fixed for the fitting of the court martial on Lord Charles Hay, Major General of his Majcfty's forces, of which the publick is in great expetation, as they underftand many remarkable anecdotes will appear relating to the American campaign of that ever memorable year 1757. We are informed that an exprefs arrived Jaft Mon- day from the King of Pruflia, to demand a categorical an{wer from this court, Whether or no we would aflit him with 30,000 troops, and fend a flcet up the Baltick ? for without a ftrong diverfion being made by us, he muft be obliged to make a peace, which he had then z favourable opportunity of doing.—In confequence of which feveral councils have been held, wherein, it is [aid, a refolution hasbeen taken to aflift his Majefty as much as pofible. . February 5. Oane of the fhips up the river Villaire is loft, aud the crew with much difficalty faved. Several perfons have juft been commiited to the Battile for treafonable difcourfes againft the govern- ment. .

That our force in the Baft Indies will be ftrength- ened by the addition of five men of war and 4co0 regulars, in order to reduce Pondicherry, and fome other French fettlements. There are letiers from Paris which fay, that Mar- fhal Daun has propofed a plan of operations againit the King of Pruffia which requires the Marfhal d= Broglio’s afliltance with 40,000 men. If this plan be approved of, the Chevalier Muy’s will command on the Mayn. General Amherft, Admiral Saunders, and Francis Delavall, Efq'rs ; it is faid,will have the vacant garters of the order of the Bath. We are aflured,that 8o fhips of war are to be ready to fzil from Portfmoudy, Piymouth, and other pors of this kingdom, in the fpriog,upen divers expeditions againit (he French 5 17 of which, with trocps on board, are dcfigned for the Eaft Indies, to attempt the conquefls of all the French fettlements. We hear that Admiial Broderick has bro’t to Cadiz a large fhip from Martineco, valued at 30.0001. We daily expe an exprefls from Mr. Keith, the Britith minifter at the Ruflian court, touching an sgrecment for the ceflation of hoftilitiés between the Ruffian and Pruffian forces. We hear that there has been a great redemptien of flaves made at Morocco,by the Danifh and Swedith courts, among whom [everal Britifh fubjeéls are included that were taken in the fhips of thole nations, who are all fpéedily expeéted home.

Feb. 7. By letters from Rotterdam, we are ad- . vifed the Dutch are very clamorous on account of the Dutch Eaft India fhip which wasicized in the Eaft [ndies by the French, to aniwer the prefling ex- igences of M. Lally and his troops. : The laft accounts from Hanover fay, that their talk of peace was entirely dropped, and that preparations for war were carrying on with all pcflible vigour. In a letter of good credit from Madrid are thefle words : “Itis very apparent that the new King defires to {ee peace reftored in Europe, and will readily em ploy his good Offices for that end, which muft natu- rally have fome effect in the prefent fituation of the belligerent powers, all of whom are groaning under the load of ruinous war.” They write from Saxony, that 200 merchants and other principal Inhabitants of the city of Leipfic. have been [ent prifonersto Magdeburg, as fecurity for the p2yment of contributions demanded by the Pruflrans. . We hear that his royal highnefs Prince Edward in- tends to go on the next expedition {uppofed to be on the French coaflt; for which preparations have been fome time making. Letters of thanks. from one branch of the legifla- ture have been wrote to Brigadier GeneralsMonckton and Murray at New-York in America, for their gal- lant behaviour at the taking of Quebec.

The French fquadron that fai’d from Cadiz the 2d of January,.is arrived at Toulon.

It is reported that the Admirals Oiborne, Pocock and Saunders, will be created Knights of the Bath. It is reported that letters. are brought by the Ele- phant French Eaft India fhip lately arrived at the Groyne, giving advice of the {urrender of Pondicherry to the Englifh. But as po confirmation of this event has been received, we do not give it as authentic. Feb. 12. The King has been plealed to iffue his royal proclamation for a general faft, in order to im- plore the blcfiing of God on his Majefty’s arms, throughout Great-Britain and Ireland, on Friday the 14th day of March next. ’ Sunday night it was reported, that the exprels had arrived that day from Germany, with the agreeable news of the King of Pruflia’s having got a great ad- vantage over Count Daun, by which he has prevent- ed any communication between him and Drefden. The Straitharlne, from Bofton to Clyde, is lcftin the Highlands of Scotiand. There are g3 fhips of the line preparing at the fe- veral dock yaras 10 pat (o fea upon diiferent fervices, Sir Edward Hawke is preparing for (ea again. However incredible it may appear, it is believed by fome folks, that an accommodation” will (oon take place, between the Emprefs Queen and the King of Pruffia ; the confequence of which isto be a junc- tion of their forces, in order to drive the French en- tirely out of Germany : the slteration ofa political fyftem amongit Princes, however, feemingly incqn- fiftent to a perfon, who views the world with a phi- lofophic eye, ought no more to be a maiter of wonder than the alieration of the wegther. We hear there is an account come, that the plague rages to fuch a degree in Drefden, that it carries off fome hundreds every day ; and es the Auftrians keep it blockaded up on one fide, and the Pruffisns on the other fide, they do not fuffer any body to come out § and whoever attempts to fave themfelves by flight, are fired atend killed by either party.
