Rhodes, in about g Weeks from London. From the public Prints to the v5th of January bro't by bim, ewe bave collefied the following Advices, V1Z. From tbe Head Quarters ' of Prince Ferdinand of Brun(wic, at UsLar, Dec. 28. N the 23d of this Month the Count de Broglio made sn attempt on the Town of Heiligenftade, where M. Luckner was poited with 3000 Men, moft of them light Troops. Heiligenftadt is furrounded with Mountains, fo that you cannot get from it but by pafiing through long D:files. In the Morning M. Luckner tound him‘elf furround- ed, the Enemy had cut him off from Nordheim, Duder- ftad:, and Lindau ; and there remeined no other Road for him than that ot Wizenhaulea ; he filed off that Way, and very happily difentangled hfmlelf from the Hands of his Enemies, without lofing either Cannon, Baggage, or even a fingle Man. it we only except 34 Miliia, who foolifhly ftaid in Town. _ He afterwards formed upon a Hill, from whence he brifkly cannonaded the Enemy ; and after killing and wounding 200 of them, sbout Noon he put in March to Worbes. The Enemy purfied him as far as Scharffenftein, but without taking or killing & fingle Man. It is certain, that no Body of Traops who had been furpriz:d, ever more clearly extricated themfelves. The Eaemy were very ftrong : According to their own Ac- count, and the Advices we have had fince, they amount ed to gooo Men. A Part of the Gurrifoa of Gotten- gen was employed in this Scheme, with all thofe Quar- tered on the Lower Werra. The Count de Broglio made no ftay st Heiligendadt, not chufing to give us Time to aflemble Troops behind the Ramm, to dif- lodge them. Leipfic, Dec. 24.

Laforey, of his Majetty’s fhip Echo, arrived at Englith Harbour the 21t inft. with two French pri- vateers ; of the manner of taking them we have had the following account, The Echo being at anchor in 8 bay of Dominico, and it being dark and very calm, a mid- fhipman and 18 men were fent out in the barge to in- tercept the fmall veflels which generally take the oppor- tunity of the night to pafs between that ifland and Mar- tineco. It happened that the firft vefiel the barge met with was & French privateer floop of 8 guns and 58 men. They were very near before they difcovered each other, and the people in the barge had bu: juft time to take a refolution of boarding the veflel fuddenly, betore they were hailed by theprivateer. They anfwered the hail by a fwivel gun which was fixed in the bow, plied their oars, snd boarded fword in hand, cleared "the pri- vateer's decks, and obliged the fifty eight Frenchmen to furrender.— T his floop being carried te the Echo, fhe was fent out to look for veflels in the offing, and was prefently chafed by a French privateer ichooner. The {loop run from her towards the place where the Echa lay, till fhe was fo engaged between the Echo and the floop that it was impofiible forher to efcape; and thus, after fome firing the {chooner was obliged to ftrike--She - mounted 8 carriage, and 8 fwivel guns, is reckoned the {wifteft failor in thefe fess, and had already done incre- dible damage to our trade.. : PHILADELPHIA, Mirch 12; Capt.
