As Schweidnitz is out of Danger, by juau clnhn's Retreat, Prince Henry is marched towards Zullichaw, to repel the Ruffians.

We hear from Thorn, that the Ruffians paffed the Viftula the 10th, and were travetfing Poland, and that General Ozernicheff, who commaads their Vanguard, began his March the 10th, from Thorn for this Place. Edinburgh, June l3.

LONDON, June 28.

There is a Report in Town, that Admiral Bofcawen has demolilhed fome Fortifications on the French Coaft. It is faid the Reduction tf the Remainder of the French Idnds, in the Weft Indies, will be undertaken this Summer. llv the Hiddcford Man of War, from Oporto, there is an Amount, that two EnglifhMen of War in the Mediterranean tad met with and engaged three French Men of War one of the latter was taken, one funk, and one efcaped. 1 his Ac fount, it is faid, was difpaiched from Cadiz to the Groyne, arj from the Groyne to Oporto, in order to come by that Fleet, which was juft failed, but was followed over the Bar with this is; Yeftetday Morning the Purfer of the Earl of Ilolderiiifi'e, Captain Brooke, fiom Bencoolen and St. Hcle pj, arrived at the F.ft Hoiife, with the News of the Aniyal of that Sl.ip at Spithead.

The Hardwicke, late Sampfon, firm Bengal. winch wis ariived at St. Helena her foie Optiin Uroplie kfttijlit Advice, that the Dutch, upon a Mifunderftanding with the Nabob, had joined the French, in order to make an Attack on Calcutta. A Sloop belonging to the fcnglifh l.ompany, coming down Bengal Ri ver, was taken b) feven Dutch Ships of War (fix Tranfports and a Commodore) who had 1000 European Troops, on board, and 600 others. Thefe a Landing, but General Clive, having timely Notice of their Defign, kept his Troops in Keadinels, and as laon as they got on Shore, attacked them, killed boo, and made the reft Priloners.

The Com pany had but three Indiamen in the River, who were ordered to attack the feven Dutch and after an Engagement of three Hours and an Half, five of the latter (truck, and the other two made the beft of their Way down the River but met with two other Indiamen coming up the River, to whom they (truck without tiring a Gun. On board the Dutch Commodore's Ship they found Orders from the Governor of Batavia, not to leave an Englifhman living in the Kingdom of Bengil, with a certain Reward for every Engliftiman's Head they brought in. Notwithrtanding which, we are informed, that the Affair is made up the Governor of Batavia has folemnly declared he was the Aggreflbr, and has given a Draught on the States General for 120,000 1. to make good the Damages done our Shipping, The Dutch are likewife to be allowed but two Sloops to go up the River, to have but 100 Men each in the two Garrifons, in which they ufed to have 600, and humblv a(k Pardon. TQuobt a Governor eatable of rivinr 1 0 the Orderi mentioned above, be fufftrea to wear a Head July 1.

We hear an Lxprels is arrived from Major (gene ral Yorke, which brings Advice, that the States General had defired that it might be fignified to his Majefty, that the Behaviour of the Governor of Batavia meets with their Dis approbation and was abfolutely without their Knowledge. The Dutch in theEaft Indies, for fome Time pad have had a Diflike to the Englifh, on Account of the Saltpetre Trade, and probably for other lucrative Reafons if not worfe Motives. In order to gratify their ambitious Views, they entered into aCombination againft Calcutta, which they thought they mould be able to conquer and in this treacheous Scheme it appears, by their own Confeflion, that they were to maffiicre every Englifhman. The fir (I Step taken ws, to procure a Commiffion from the Governor of Batavia, winch we are told was granted. They then fitted out feveral large Ships well manned, and took' on board 1000 Europeans, and 500 Seapoys, with all Sorts of Implements of War.

The firlt Breach of rriendlhip was by taking an Englifh trading Sloop. The next was an Attempt on Calcutta, in the River of Bengal, where they landed their Men in Hopes of taking the Place But the Fort fired fo hrilkly that 500 of them were (lain, and 500 more taken Prifoners. In this Col. Ford commanded, and not Col. Clive.

Their next genteel Behaviour was in attacking our Eaft India Company's Ships, viz. the Hardwicke, Capt. Sampfon the Duke of Dorfet, Capt. Bernard Forrefter the Calcutta, Capt. George Wilfon who all behaved fo well, as to beat every one of them, and take five, tho' the Odds were fo great.

Two of the Dutch VefTels that were making their Efcape, were taken by the Royal George, Capt. George Beamifh, and another Ship whofe Name we have not heard. Neither Admiral Pocock, nor any Men of War were at this Sea fight. The Dutch having now been di I appointed in their intended Villainy, it was thought proper to abridge them of fome of their Power in the River Bengal; therefore the Eiiglirti Ships came before one of their Settlements, and foon took the Faftory. No Doubt a proper Reprifal, and with a i ft Refentment.

But on confeffing their, iniquitous Schemes, and figning a proper Inltrumenr, acknowledging the Rights of the Englifh, their Ships, we hear, have been reftored, as well as their Factory July 3. They write from Pans, that though the Enghfti flatter themfelves they have annihilated the French Navy, the Project of making an Attempt on the Coafts of Britain has been again brought on the Carpet and, in Confequence of Orders already ifiued, they are working with the utmoft Diligence at Breft, Toulon, and Dunkirk, in fitting out proper VelTcls to carry it into Execution. Twenty independent Companies, containing loo Men each, are ordered to be raifedibrthwith. Fifteen were raifed fome Months ago. No Sign this of a Peace being fo near, as from our continual Succefles we had Reafon to expect.

September 1. Tbe following is a true Account of the' Misfortune which befel tbe Letter of Marque Brig Tyrrel, Arthur Cogblon Commander, given by Mr. Thomas Purnell, Chief Mate of aid Vtfj'el, and the only Peron that was pared out of all tit Crew, which confined of Seventeen, TH 29th of June they fail'd from Sandy Hook, and that Afteinoon found the Veffel made a fmall Quantity of Water more than what (he ufually had, which cauied a fmall Spell at the Pump every Half Hear, fo that they thought there was not any Danger, until Wcdnefday the 2d of July, a little before eight o'clock in the Forenoon The Second Mate, who had then the Charge of the watch came and furprized Mr. Purnell as he was deeping fn the Cabbin, by telling him the Veffel was finking, tec. Mr.

Purnell and the Captain going inttantly upon Deck, and looking d.own into the Steerage faw (he was almoft full Some of the People informed Mr. Purnell they heard the Water run in, but before they had Time to examine the Leak, a Squall of Wind came on, which overfet her, the Boat being loofe on the Chocks floated, tho' Bottom upwards, but two of the feople jumping into the Water from off the VelTers righted her, and with a Bucket foon bail'd her, but the Veffel by this Time was all under Water as far as her fore Chains fo that from the Time the Second Mate acquainted Mr. Purnell of the Affair, till they were all obliged to eec into the Boat, was but a few Minutes, having no Provifions, Inftrumentor Compafs of any Kind and then by their reck onine were 157 Leagues S. E. by E.

from the Place ther took their Departure. The firft Night after they got into the Boat thry had a great deal of Rain, with a heavy Gale at N. The next Morning it being calm, they made a Sail of Frocks and Trowfers, which did pretty well for nine Days when the fecond Mate and Carpenter died. A fey Hours after they faw a Sloop becalm'd, 'which greatly encou rag'd them, and they immediately got out their Oars, and came up with her fo fad, that in about three Hours they got within about Half a Mile of her but at that Inftant the Wind blew a fmall Breeze, and the Sloop made all the Sail (he could and flood from them. After this the People died one or more every Day, 'till the 19th Day, when the Captain and a Boy dying left Mr.

Purnell alone, who was taken up on the 25th Day following, by John Cafwell, Mafler of a (idling Schooner', having lived on no other Suftenance than the Barnacles he got from off the Bottom of the Boar, and the Rockweed he catch'd along fide. NEW HA.VEN, Auguji 16. A few Days ago, a Child belonging to Mr. Mofes Beecher ol this Town, had a cutaneous Eruption, confiderably refembling the Chicken Pox the Puftules became very protuberant, near as big as a Duck lhot, the Heads being dark co lour'd, and the rell yellowifh. Upon opening fome of the Puftules, there appeared to be a great Number of Animals in them, which, were, Icarce difcernable by the naked Eye, but feen to be Animals by their fwift Motion in crawling.

One of them was brought to the College, and being view ed in the Microfcope, it appeared to be a perfedt Tortoife, or Turtle, with upper and lower Shells, each divided into about ten Partitions, which were beautifully coloured, red, yellow, and white. The Head, Tail, and Legs, appeared very diflinfl; but the Eyes did not grow in the Head, but as it were out of the Shoulders, and Hood upon two Pillars, very much refembling thofe of a Lobller. The Eyes appeared like little Globes of Glafs, were immoveable, and had no Eye Lids: I judge that it was about a thoufandth Part fo big as a Loufe. Thofe Tortoifes which caufe the common Itch, are confiderably in a different Shape. Thomas Clap.
