By this formidable Alliance at firit, in- deed, when they met with a feeble Razfiftance, and when People believed, or pretended to believe, thofe plaufible Manifeftoes, by which Ambition was to wear the Air of Juftice, and Tyranny ftalk abroad under the Cloak of Moderaiion, they feemed ina fair Way of carrying their Point ; but his Pruflian Ma: jefty vindicating with his Sword thofe Truths, which had been difplay’d by his Pen, gave the firft Check to their Carcer, and fhew’d that this all grafping Combination was not Invincible or Almighty. The Lofs of Minorca, rou‘ed the Britith Lion, that is, theold Lion like Difpofition of this Nation, which had been long cowed, and from thence thought by fome to be loft, revived and re appeared. It was firlt diftinguithed in the Sena'e ; for where fhauld the true Spirit of the Nation be found but amongft its Reprefentatives 2 thence it made its. way into our Fleets and Armies, and has been alfo nobly diltin- guifhed in our Miliia. From the Mcment Liberty was thought worth fighting for, Victory reiurned to our Standards ; and when we had Minifters who would not be bullied, we were (oon tsught by Ex- perience that our Enemies might be beat. It is a Natural ic is a Political Duty to Providence to make a right Ufe of his Bleflings, and not to be either infolent towards the vanquifthed, or indifcreet in refpeét to ourfelves. We have often run ourfelves into great D:fficulties, by fighting other Peoples Bat- tles ; this is the filk War, at leaft, in any Body’s Re- membrance, that can be juftly ftiled our own. When a Peace comes to be made, the Nation has reafon to exped, that it will not be concluded in a Hurry; that the principal Points will be publickly declared, that their Confequences may be thoroughly canvafled and maturely confidered ; as alfo, that efpecial Care may be taken of two Points, firft, That none of the cold Caufes or Quarrels may be left in North Ameri- ca, or the Weft Indies ; but that all things there may be fully, fsirly, and finally fettled: And next, That the Liberties of Germany, and the Independency of the feveral Powers of the Empire, may be fo tho- roughly fecured, that there may be no more Temp- tation lef to certain greatPowers, to aggrandize them- felves ftill farther by fwallowing up little Ones ; and, which is the moft fhameful Aé that Tyranny was guilty of, obliging them to give their own Votes, and ‘combine their little Forces, to opprefs themfelves. Extrac of & letter from the army of Prince Ferdinand, dated Fan. 1, 1760. — ¢ We drefls and guettre every morning st two o’clock, and expect every moment to hear the alarm of guns, on which we are immediately to march to a€ion ; notwithftanding the variety of difficuliies we go thro’ the fatigue with chearfulnefs, snd comfort ourfelves with the hopes of better days. Prince Fer- dinand’s fatigues are ftill much greater than our’s; [ am {urprized his fpirits and conftitution are not quite exhaufted ; he has certainly fhewn himfelf a great General in every operation this campaign. At the beginning of it, the French had not lefs on this fide the Rhine, than 103,000 men, and as well appointed troops 1s any in the world ; the Prince’s army did not exceed 60,000 notwiihftanding, with which he beat them at Minden, drove them before him for 200 miles, like a flock of fheep ; difpoflefled them of Minden, Marburg, and Munfiter, detached 12,000 men, with the Hereditary Prince, into Saxony, and now keeps his ground, with lefs than 30,080 men, sgainft the hot headed Broglio and his whole army. All we now want is Gieflen, and to drive the French over the Rhine. If we fhould now go into winter quarters, Broglio will endesvour to have Marburg ; fhould the Prench go firft, Prince Ferdinand will probably befiege Gieflen ; but thofe places are looked upon as ohjcéts of fuch confequence, that I fear the Generals will try which of their armies have the beft conftitutions ; tho’ I would imagine the want of forage, muft foon unravel the plot, aad that the cataftrophe will be either an immediate battle, or an agreement between the two Generals, to draw off to quarters, elfe I know not what will become of us, and our horfes. The fyftem of war is quite changed to what it was originally ; our anceftors had no idea of modern military operations : They colle&ted their forces, met in an open plain, contended for viory, gathered laurels, went to winter quarters (o fcatter them at their miftreffes feet, and boaft to them of their prowe(s ; but we, defpifing effeminacy, often- tation, and flothful reft; labour fummer and winter, day and night, to ferve our country ; and have generally for reward, difappointment in promotion, conlumptions, rheumatifms, and many otherhappy memorandums of our youthful atchievements, &c. P. S. The Prince’s orders. of this day contain thanks to the army for their good behavicur durirg > [ the Jaft year, &c. but no profp=& yet of winter quar- terd.”” Feb. 12. A letter from Bern in Switzerland men- tions an extraordinary inftance of prolifick virtue: a man born in that canton, has had by one woman, though but fix years married, filtezn children. She bore him three every year for the fi-ft thrce years of their warriage ; for'the laft three years ot their mar- risge fhe had but cwo ata birth. "L'ris honeil tellow, prefuming upon the fervice he had done the ftate by his and his wife’s remarksble fecandity, has applied to the magiftirates for a reward for his having (o fuc- cefsfully laboured towards the propagation of his kind. BOSTON, Apil z2¢ Extraft of a Letter from om board tie- Ship Xing of Pruffia, Thomas Woodward, Mafler, who failed from this Port the 14th of December laft ; —Dated S:. Chriltopher’s January 31, 1760. —¢ We arrived here the 7th intt. where we found the natives very fickly : in cur paflige we met with extreme bad weather, which obliged us to throw o verboard two of our guns, aud the lumber off our decks.—Fifty leagues to windward of Antigaa, we fe!l in with two French privateers of 1z guns each, and full of men, who engaged us for fome time, and then drop’d aftern; havi’d down their French colcurs and hoifted the bloedy flig, and again began their fire which continued without intermiffion, § hours, thinking thereby to have difabled us, but were dil- appointed, for we returned their (alutes not much to their {atisfattion ; however they dog’d vs all night, and in the niorning renewed their fire with grzat warmth, and made preparations for boarding us ; we referved our fire till they were clofe along fide, then gave it them as warm as they could difpenfe with, which obliged them to drop aftern to repair their damage, which done, they came up again and made it one continued fire till dark, during which time we continued to return their compliments with great bravery : we received confiderable damage in our fails and rigging, but had not one man wounded, tho’ many of their fhot came thro’ our ftern and dropt vpon deck. By a flag of truce fince arrived from Martinique, we hear the flocps had 120 men each, that we fhot away the captain’sarm, kill'd one Lieut. and 4 mer, wounded 14, nine of them mortally, with other damage, whicn obliged them ic break up their cruize.——1It would have given you pleafure to have feen with what conduét, bravery and refolu- tion Capt. Woodward behaved, and really believe if there had been 12z floops inflead of 2, he would not have ftruck to them.” We hear from Chefhire, in Conne®icut, thaton Sunday the 30th uit. the dwelling Houfe of Licur. Benjamin Mofs of that Town was confumed by Fire, with almoft all the Furniture therein. We learn from Guilford, in Conne&icut, that a Ewe, which is now slive and well, belonging to Mr. Samuel Fitch of that town, on the zoth ot March laft brought forth a lamb, with one head, two badies, and eight legs ; both the bodies appear of equal bignefs, and fhape of other lambs ; the bodies are joined to- gether from the naval upwards, breaft to bresft ; the bodies 2ppear juft astwo lambs would if they were held with their breafts together ; there are two neck bones, but the head is every way like other lambs, PO RgESMOUTH We hear from Dover, that on the 6th Inftant, Captain THomas Wk.
