Provifisns are exceffively dear at Caffel. A loaf of fix pounds [edis for a_cromi, and a pound of butter is not to be bad under the Jame price. * One may bowevir belicve, that this is occafioned by greedinefs of gain ; and accordingly the commandant bas committed g perfon §o prifom, who bad demanded a crown ir. & white catbage. j Haniver, O&. 8, It is wery irue that the Fremch did afew days age tarnout of Coffel five hundred of the - inbabitants ; but Prince Frederick of Brunfwick after giving them a dinner, obliged them to return thither.

Tnerc are o lefs than 32 Men of War now build- ing in the diffsrent Dock yards in the Kiagdom.

It is {aid that Prince Ferdinand will come to Eng- l4nd as foon 22 the Troops go into winter Quurters. It is faid that the Prince of Mecklenburg will fhort- Iy return to Eogland from Pormgel. Extraftof a Letter from Bagfhot, ¢ There has lately been a {mert engrgement nesr this plece. The inhabitants were ajarmed by the Firings of both pariies ; which however (oon ceafed, and did but littlz execution ; as will appear from the foilowing authentic returas : Killed . s s Nane.

" Extruf of a'Létter from Lifbon, Sept. 28: “AFFATES here weser but a bad alpeét, snid there is reafon to fear, will continte Iy, s every sccoudt we receive teads to mgnily the danger thet thrediebs “ws. The Spniards“are making fucha rapid progrels, that we know not how to gppofe them ; end, unlel woheck be (peedily plir o “%ir approeches, will ue- doubtedly be foon mafters of Lifbom. All our hopes on thisoccsfion, are placed in the Englith; but tho’ we hiave no doubt of their valour, yetunlefs reinforced we know sot how they will be able to withflend fo great a msjority. Another uafortunate circumftence on ourfide, is, that none of his Portugueie Majelty’s own fubj=&s are to be trufted, Befides the Count de Lippe'stfecretary, who has been fent heie in irons, " for maintzining e trezafoneble correlpondance witls lh‘t enzmy, numbers of the common men sre daily bro’t in, charged wiih deferting their polts, dilobedience of orders, or fome o:her flagrent oliences. Ia fhort our fi:uation is moft milerable; and unleis God and the King of England tske pity on us, the hour fcems to drawnigh, when the mesfure ot onr iniquitics is 50 ba filled up by & heavy fubjeétion to an implecabie enemy.” : Nothing wes ever more evident than the prefent pertiality o Scotfmen. ‘To enumerate all the paitici- lars of it would be endlefs. I fhall oply mention 0n¢ inftance ©f the retsking Newfoundland. ITmprimis who commanded thet expzdition ? Lord Colwisl . 8 Scotfman...Wha brg’t home the French colours ?

But sbove all, who were the only three Officers wounded, and confequently in the poft of honor ? Capt. M Donnel, Capt. Bailic, snd Capt. M’ Kenzie, all three Scot/men. g OBober 1g. Letters from Madrid advile, thatthe Commander in Chief of their Squadron at Cadiz has had Orders fent him to return home, and zn{wer (0 fomeCompleints which have been lodged ageinfk him. We are aflured, that in order to drive the Spaniarcs out of Pertugal, a grand %xpzdi;ion to that Kingdom will immediately commence ; as alfo that a Schem®, fome Time fince propsfed, will certainly take place, which is the Bombarding of Naples. In cafe the King of Poriugsl thould be obliged to sbandon his Kingdom, the immenfe Riches snd Jestels belonging to that crown, which are (sid to be the richeft in sll Europe, will bz fent on bosrd our Fleet and brought over 1o England to prevent thelf falling into the Hands of the Enemy.

This evidenily fhews, that now fhz iz put to her fhifts, and has no Ally to draw Refources trom, fhe can fiad Men and Money with- in her own Dominions. How unlike is this to her pretended phitnl Cale lst War! when fhe craved the Affitsnce of King Geerge, urging, in the moflt deplorsble Minner, her diftrefled snd helplefs Con- dition ; and the Englith; with truly compaflionate Hearte, relicwed her Wants,and fupported her Armies. It is likewife worthy r=marking, that at that time {he had not fultsined Haslf, nor One Fo. 2:h, (olong, fo extenfive,or fo bloody 8 War 2s the prefent. Arnd yes, withou: sny more Riches flowing into her Coffers, or any more Dominions in ber Poffeflion, fhe is not yet exhaulted, This fhews how the Humanity of the Englith Nation is pleyed upon by otherPotentates. Lesters from Cleves of the 11th inftant, sdvile, that Orders were arrived there from the Court of France, to provide Winter Quartersin that Country, and thet of Marck for 24,000Men ; by which it was thought that Pesce between England and France wss not ata great Diftence ; and that thefe Troops are to be Auxiliaries to the Emprefs Queen, and to march to her Aflifance when iequaired, sccording to .thc Treay (ubfifting beiween the Courts of Verlailles snd Vienna. ; By Letters from Leghorn we learn, that the Gib- reltar Frigate, of 20 Guas, and 104 Men, has taken a French Frigete of 36 Gune, snd 390 Men, and car- ried her into Cyptus. ¢ Tuelday the Britennia Man of Wer, a Firlt Re'@ was launched at Portimouth, emidft e great Crond of fplendid Sp-Qators.
