Weare {urprized ta fee the Ac- counts that ere publithed in fome News Pupers rela- tive to our Court. Sometimes they affert, that our T'roops are ordered to be in Readinefs to march; then that's Subfidy Treaty has been concluded with the Swifs Cantons ;and then that our fortified Towns are putting in & proper State of Defence; that the King of Sardinia is going to put fome of his Forces into Britifh Pay, and that his Strdinian Majefty pro pofes to make good his Pretenfions to the Dutchy of ‘Gusftalla'; but all thele are pretended Advices, and mere Invention. We can on the contrary fay, and it may be depended upon,that the King, tho' he does not torget his juft Pretenfions, will ftedfeftly gdhere to & Neutrality, till the Peace of Italy comes go be difturbed, or the Balance of Power in Edrope in Danger of being overturned. We have juft re- ceived a Piece of News, which feems to be the Pro- ‘duce of the fame Auathors, and which therefore we are 'far from vouching the Truth of. It is dated from Waples, 3d of February, and is s follows. A few Daysago (ome of our Galleys brought in here three EnglithMerchantShips richly laden, which they took between Procida end I[ichia, They are detained till his Catholick Majefty pronounces their Fae, an Exprefs being lent to inform him of theCapturs.

The pacific and humaneDifpofition ot the two Moriarchs, gives us resfon to hope that the Difficalties which have hithierto prevented the Succels of this Affair will no longer fubfift. PHILADELPHIA, Mayrs. Yefterday srrived here Capt. Hardy, in 20 Days' from Martinico, who informs us, that the Veflel fent Exprels to Eogland, with an Account of the Reduc- tion’ of Martinico was returned, and brought Ad vice of a Ceflstion of Aris between the Ruflisns and Pruffians.

The Tranfports are affembling near the [land for the Convenieficy of embarking them. From thefe Appearances, with the four Men of War in the Road, various Conjec- - tures are formed with Regard to the Deftination of - . this Armement. Capt. Ephraim Cook, an old veteran Sea Com- msnder, well ‘known in this City, has advertifed in the London Papers for Subfcriptions, to undertake ¢a «¢ private Expedition againft his Majefty’s Enemies.” _ ghich is to be mude by three fout Privateers, not lefs then forty Guns esch: The Deftination of thiz Force is fecret, and ought to be fo.
