Admiral Byron failed from Sandy Hook on the October with fourteen Sail of the Line, one of 90 Guns, nine of 74, and four ct 64, befides Frigates, aii well manned, and in excellent Ofder and if he fhouid be fo fortunate to meet the Count JD'Eftaing (whqmheiji gone jn quell of is not the of his giving a good Account of ManX was then, in Bolton Harbour with twelve Sail of the Line his Snips had been all refitted with new Mails, but it was faid he had not been able to get theSquadron completely victualled, which was the only Thing that detained him in Port.

The Part of the Proclamation which particular Offence to the Mar- qvtis delaFayette, is an Aflertion, that the are Enemies to all civil and religious Liberty Although this is a Fact fufficiently notorious to all Europe, the Marquis may perhaps fay, with Moliere's Med icin maigre lui, Diable le fcavoh." A-Cerretpondent hopes that Admiral Keppel will be defired to give his Reafons for having calle4 Berwick, Heftor, and Proferpine, wrxen.within two Gun Shot of two of of 80 and 74. Guns, and which muft have Qtherwife been taken. The Proferpine had already engaged.

Monday Night lalt died at after a long Dines, Mr. John Staines Mitchell, Boat- fcjiider-of Rotherhithe. Wedhefday laft was interred, at Hardwick, near Oloucefter, John Blifs, aged upwards of 1 £3 he died of the Small Pox. A Correfpcrndent whatever Change of Admlniftration, might be in Agitation fome Days ago, that Matter is over for the prefent. The fame Correfpondent fays, that General Clinton's Requeft to return home was tional if hla Army not" to 40 ,600 effective Men, he defired tocome homei Notwithstanding the Boajls of a few particular Perfons, it is the general Opinion that not anoxher Man- will be font to America.

General Grant, who is detached from New York to the Weft Ihdies, is-to attack tfre IQand of -St. Luete, which was ceded to the French at the laft Peace and afterwards to attack. Dominica. In this laft, it is more than probable he will notfucceed, as the French Troops on the Iflmd are fufficient to man the Works, which have been erected by the Englifli at an -iinriien'e Expence, and are likewife defended by a great Number cf our Cannon, which the French found there. The qther Expedition from New York (if there really is another) is fuppofed to be gone going to Florida; to protect that Province, and not to attack Georgia or Carolina, as hath been given out.

The Weft India Merchants and Planters will, in a few Days, prefent a ftrong Pe ition to the King, on the alarming State of their Property in the Weft India Iflands. A fays, that the Place of Paymafter of the Army, which has been joyed by Mr. Rigby fince the is worth, at leaft, Seventy five Thoufand Pounds per Annum. He, is allowed Sixpence in.the Pound in all the Money he pays; and full Three Millions, go through his Hands yearly. No Wonder fuch Men and their Party fhouid vote for the prefent Expences, when they get fo much by them.

They write from Paris, that the Number of Privateers taken from the Englifli during the Ccfiirfe of the Campaign amounts to about twenty; and. that they are all ordered to be fitted out at the King's Expence, and to be commanded by Officecs of the Marine. Others Letters fay, that the Prizes made on either Side ferve only to diftrefs the Conf- merce of the two Nations, and to multiply the Number of Prifoners and that they have 7000 Englifh Sailors in the Department of Brett. The 23d ult. all the Princes and Princeffes.

of the Blood in France repaired to Verfailles. to continue there till the Delivery of the Queen. According to the laft Advices from Silefia, the Cabinet Minifters of the King of Pruffia arrived the 13th ult. at Breflau, and were admitted to the Prefence of the King the fame Day. Letters from Toulon advife, that feveral Privateers fitted out at Port Mahon in thofe Seas, where they have made many valuable Captures which they carried into the laft mentioned Fo.rt.

In. a Letter from New York, dated 19, 1778, is the following remarkable Paragraph: We learn by aPerfoabfCredit, that Col. Brant, with a Number of Indians and Ftiends; to Government, hasjately made an Attack qiv the near Efopus, burnt Marbled Town, and carried off a large Number of dif- affefted Perfons to their Head-Quarters, at Ononquachge on the Sufquehannah, to whjjcit Place Col. Butler had" drove the. Cattle and Stores from Wyoming.

That this nceuvre had thrown the Whigs in that Country into the greateft Confternadon and Defpalh Our Informant alfo fays, (what we -hear from other Quarters) that the People in general are very diJcontented with the French Alliance, and arejuftly apprehenfive that it will certainly lead to the Subordination of their Country to France, the Lofs of their Liberties, and the certain Introduction, of Popery." ExtraB of a Letter from Penzance, Nov. 28. Friday laft was wrecked in this Port the Betfey, Cairns, from New York for London, in five Weeks and four Days. The Men and PafTengers (about twenty in Number); were all faved. When ihe failed from New" York, Admiral Byron failed to the nbrth- ward with fifteen fail of the Line, being in with them twenty four Hours.

ExtraS of a Letter from Plymouth, Nov. 28. Came in the St. Joachim, Fernandes, laden with Shumack, taken by the Viper Pri- vateer, Captain Falconer. Sailed his Majeftyls Ships Cumberland, and Arechufaon a The Annan, from Peterf- burgh, is loft in the Baltick.

The Molly, Brewlher, from Liyerpoole to Africa, and back to Liyerpoole, is taken and carried into an American Port. The Champion, Melvil Thames, Balra- horough, and James and William, Boynton, from New York, are arrived in the River. The Adventure, Smallwood, from Cadiz, is loft going into St. John's, Newfoundland. In the Debate on Thurfday laft it was very remarkable, that the two Brothers, jultbefore the Divirion, walked out of the Houfe A very prudent Intimation ta both Parties.

If you will not attack us, we will not vote a- againftyou. A Correfpondent thinks it mull appear extremely ftrange to the Public, that General Cliinton (hould be able to cKfpatch five thon- fand of his beft Troops to the Relief of our Weft India Iflands, and yet be able with the Remainder to aft not only offenfively, bu fuc- cefsfully againft the Rebels. What odd Notions this new and fpirited Commander in Chief has adopted. I A Correfpondent reading the Paragraph in this Paper of TuelHay relative to the fuppofed. reft.rict.ive Orders of Admiral Keppel, is re-" minded thereby of the following very remarkable Inftanee in Hiftory M.

Capello, a Venetian of noble Extraction, was appointed to the Charge of the Gulph of Venice and, intercepting a he deftroyed moft of it, and brought off the Admiral's Galley in Triumph, which was. kept (and is ftill kept) as a grand Trophy of War, and an ii- luftrious Tell of tranfcendant Courage and yet that great Wan tolofe his Life, for having exceeded his Commiffidn. In Acldifion to the Paragraph in Paper refpedling our Admirals having their Hands a Correfpondent obferves that this was fhrewdly expefted to be the Cafe with the unfortunate Byng. At the Time of his Death, Thoufands fcfupled not to fay that he was fa- ificed to fave the Miniftry, and his Candide, fpeaks of his untimely End in the ievereft Strain of Satire. Trre Frequency of Firss in.London has repeatedly engaged the Attention of the Legif- lature, and feveral preventive Remedies have been devifed.

However, Party-Walls," and Rewards to Engine-keepers, have failed to operate effectually. Peifonal Care is the Re- quiiite wanted If every Servant in every mily would take due Care of Fires andGaridles, it is probable that fewer of thefe Accidencs' would Prevention is the beft- Remedy. Tuefday Morning, about One, ME Potley of Red lioa-ftreet, Holborn, piping theCentre of Fleet-market, was met by a Couple RufEans, who knocked him robbed )Am of a Guinea and an Half, his Great Coat, and even a Pair of Boot9that he had on i'tbi that he Was obliged to-go home bare-foot. The Fellows were both drunk, and fwore moft mockingly. -On Monday two Men were charged on Oath before John Sherwood, Efq; with ftealirfg eight of Silk, the Property of therHoni- the United Eaft India Company- of Merchants trading to were'committed to Newgate.

On- Tuefday Jofeph was charged on Oath before John Sherwood and John Staples, Efqrs. with violently and wounding, one Andrew Schultz in the.Belly with a of which Wound he langulihed and died, and was committed to the fame Gaol. Yefterday twenty of the capital Refpites Newgate, who had received his Majefty's Pardon on Condition of being kept to hard Labour on the River Thames for different Terms, were put on board a Lighter at Black-friars, which proceed with them to thePlace appointed for their Reception.
