As the French have taken Newfoundlard by furprize (as is fuppoied) it is to be hoped it will be retaken imme- diately, and that they will not be fuffered to keep pofleffion of it all next winter: For if they fhould, and negociations of peace fhould be entered into with the French du- ring that time, would it not afford them too much reafon to infift upon a fithery there ? T, Itis fuppofed, as Lord Col¥ille, in the Northumberland with feveral other of his Majefty’s Ships are at Halifax, and on that ftation, the French will find it difficult to make their retreat from Newfoundland. Itis currently reported, that the follow- ing fhips, viz. the Superb, Cornwall, Bed- ford, Monmouth, and Shrewfbury, befides three frigates, are to fail with all Difpatch, under the Command of Admiral Durell, to oblige the French to abandon their late conquefts. : The Rates of Holland have had feveral meetings on the categorical am{wer de- manded by the French Minifter, as to their behaviour in the prefent conjuné&ure ; and General York has been frequently in con- ferrence with them. .

His minifters engaged by long habit, conti- ~ nue obflinate in their partiality, to the great prejudice of his fubjeéts; & I have met with nothing but refufal,and been infulted by his injurious preference of the friendfhip of En- gland to that of Spain and France. [ have even received a perfonal affront by the ar- refting my ambaflador Don JofephTerrero, at Eftremos, who was detained there in vio- lation of his charaéter, after he had been fuffered to depart from Lifbon, and had arrived on the frontier, in virtue of pafiports from that court ; but notwithffanding fuch -~ infults were powerful motives for ‘me to - keep no longer any meafures with theKing of Portugal, neverthelefs, adhering to my firft refolution of not Making an effenlive war againit the Portuguefe, unlefs forced to it, | deferred giving ordegg to myv General . to treat them with the rigours of wag ; but having read the ediét of the King- of Por- tugal of the 18th of laft Month, in which mifreprefenting the upright intentions of the moft chriftian King and myfelf, he im- putes to us a preconcerted defign of invad- ing his Dominions, and orders all his veffels to treat us as enemies, and to break off all correfpondence with us, both by fea and Iand ; and forbids the ufe of all produétions coming from our territories, confifcating - he goods of the French and Spaniards,and likewife ordered therg to leave Porgggalina fortnight, which term, h'owe'(rcr?trafght, has been further abridged, and many of my fubjeéts have been expelled, plundered,and ill treated, before the expiration of it.

For thefe caufes 1 have refol- ved, that from this’ day my troops fhall treat Portugal as an enemy’s country, that - the property of the Portuguele fhall be confilcated throughout my dominion, that all the Portuguefe fhall Jeave Spain in .a fortnight; and that all commerce with them fhall be prohibited for the future.” e ) e S et ug) *T'is faid the Rufliens have declared War sgrinfk the Danes, ; Admirsl Hawke's Fleet which is gone to Lifbon, confiflts of 10 Seil of the Linz and 3 Frigates. *T'is faid the French lofs in killed, wounded, Pri. foners and Delerters, inthe Attion the 24th of June, amounts to 65co.
