WHEREAS at the adjustment of peace with the King of Morocco, the renewal and fixing of the boundaries of the territory, which is annexed to my forts on the coasts of that kingdom, were settled, as also the restitution of deserters, and various other conditions, which all testify the said Prince’s recognition of the incontestible right in my Crown to those places situated in countries, which had been part of the Spanish monarchy; and although by the very act of the King of Morocco himself having complied with these stipulations, it appears, that living in peace with Christians who occupied those places in Africa, was not inconsistent with the sect which he professes: not- withstanding all this, he, doubtless not attending to all the advantages which he receives from peace and com- merce with my dominions, has written me a letter, in which, founding himself upon maxims and principles of his own sect and policy, strange and new ones entirely, compared with those received among European nations, he tells me, that he will make war against these forts, and pretends at the same time, that such a step is not to interrupt the friendship, the intercourse and commerce, betwixt our respective states, &c. as appears from the te- nor of the said letter; which, being translated from the Arabic, is literally as follows: "In the name of the merciful God, and there is no help but in the great God. "Mahomed Ben Abdalla. (L. S.) The 15th of the month of Reged, in the year 1188. "To the King of Spain. "Health to him who follows the law, and persists therein. Know ye, that we are in peace with you accor- ding to the treaties of peace made between us and you. But the Mahometans of our dominions, and of Algiers, have agreed, saying, That they will not suffer any Chri- stian whatever to be on the coasts of Mahometan coun- tries from Ceuta to Oran, and they will recover to them- selves the possessionn of them: For which reason they have requested us to attend seriously to this affair, saying, "Thou hast no excuse for remaining quiet, or consenting "that Mahometan countries should remain in the power "of Christians, at a time when God hath given thee "forces and warlike instruments, such as no one else "hath." It was not possible for us not to attend to their instances, or assist them upon this subject : And now we are desirous of taking the matter into consi- deration. If the Algerines undertake the war together with us, as they have desired to do, it is well; but if they withdraw themselves and oppose what they them- selves have desired, We will consider them as enemies, and fight in person against all, till God shall decide be- tween us and them. And this business is not against the peace which subsists between us and you: Your traders and their ships will remain as before, and will take their provisions and other things from any of our ports, as they please, conforming to the customs now observed in them, agreeably to the marine treaty between our respec- tive caravels; and your ships will receive no damage, so that your subjects will trade in all our dominions, and will travel by land and by sea with all security, and no body will hurt them, because we have established peace with you, and which we will not break, if you on your part do not: In which case you will be allowed four months, that every body may know it; and what we have said, concerning our going to the said countries, is, because we are obliged to it, and have no method of ex- cusing ourselves from it. But with respect to peace at sea we will de according to our own will. And now we give you an account of the truth of this business, that you may be advised thereof, and consider what suits you. And we have signed this letter with our own illustrious hand, that you may be assured of its certainty. Greeting, the 15th day of the month Reged, in the year 1188, (19th September, 1774.") And judging it unbecoming my Sovereignty to listen to, much less to admit, such propositions; and being be- sides informed, that the person who was charged by the King of Morocco to deliver this letter to the Governor of Ceuta for me, had declared, that, in proof of the peace being at an end, the Moors in the camp would fire a- gainst the fort with ball as soon as he had left it, which they actually did; and being informed, that the said Moors have since continued to fire against certain fisher mens boats, which were near them as usual, by which ho- stilities the Moors have broken the peace; I have resolved, upon account of these acts, and from the time they were committed, to declare, that it is to be understood, that the friendship and good harmony with the King of Mo- rocco is interrupted, all communication is to cease be- tween my subjects and his, and things to return to the state of war, by sea and land, in which they were before the treaty was settled; keeping up only the 17th article </div> <div class="column"> <h6>Column 2</h6> of it, in which it was stipulated, that, in case of a rupture, six months should be allowed to the individuals of both nations to retire freely to their respective countries with their goods and effects, which I order shall be kept and observed punctually with the Morocco subjects; being persuaded that that Prince will observe the same with re- spect to mine. And whereas lately, the King of Moroc- co having sent me some Spanish captives, which he had obtained from the regency at Algiers, I did order the Al- caide who brought them, that not only all the Morocco Moors, who by having been taken on board Algerine vessels were prisoners in Carthagena, should be delivered up, but also all the wounded and old Algerines who were there; I am desirous that these unhappy people should effectually have their liberty, and be conveyed to the kingdom of Morocco, as was intended, notwithstanding the new state of affairs which has arisen, being moved thereto by the pity with which I consider their fate, and because they should not be prejudiced by an event in which they have no concern; wherefore, and in conse- quence of all that has been stated, I order, that the peace between those dominions and these shall be held to be broken, and the war be renewed, and that the subjects of the King of Morocco, shall not be disturbed in their free turn to their country, with their goods and effects, for which I grant the term of six months, counting from the day of the publication of this Cedula, for such is my will.

Second, Whether though the highest honour is due to the integrity of so many Gentlemen, who have nobly risked their offices by their fidelity to the country, is it not nevertheless a scandal to the province, that we have as yet no place bill to exclude such from the House of as- sembly as after an election render themselves dependent upon the Crown for offices held during pleasure. Third, Whether from the arbitrary project of the late parliament for introducing a Council into the Massachu- setts-Bay, at the pleasure of the crown, it does not ap- pear to be an indispensable duty firmly to insist upon a law utterly to exclude the dangerous influence of his Ma- jesty's council, at all elections for representatives of the people. EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE. WARSAW, December, 29. They write from Moldavia, that the Russians are there still, but they will pass the Niester the 21st of this month, 40,000 of that army will remain in Poland, 4000 of which are to be quartered in the invirons of this city. HAMBURGH, December 16. A private Letter from Munich mentions, that a courier from Rome brought an account that Cardinal Anthony Eugenius Visconti, formerly Nuncio at the Court of Vienna is elected POPE, and that he proposed keeping the name of Eugenius. TURIN, December 14. When King George II. of Great Britain died, the Republic of Venice sent two Am- bassadors to London, to compliment King George III. and they made a public entry upon that occasion. Upon the death of the King of Spain two Ambassadors were sent and the same ceremony performed at Madrid. Upon the death of the King of Sardinia, the Republic of Venice sent but one Ambassador to Turin, and the court would not permit him to make his public entry, but complained to the Republic on one Ambassador being only sent. The Republic delayed giving any answer so long, that in the interim Louis the XV. died, and two Ambassadors were sent to Paris, who made their public entry there, and complimented Louis the XVI. The court of Turin could not but look upon these proceedings as an insult, and ac- cordingly his Sardinian Majesty ordered it to be signified to the Ambassador from Venice, that he must appear no more at Court, upon which he set off without any further ceremony for Venice.---This is looked upon as the prelude to a rupture between the two courts, and as in- tended to justify same measures at present upon the car- pet, between the King of Sardinia and his allies. LEGHORN, November 29. The rebels who forced their way through a body of troops under Colonel Du- bourg, and reached an inaccessible hold in the Pieve of Casicua, after the Colonel retired, who were joined by several other parties, to the number of 400 and immedi- ately began fresh impredations; they burnt three villages, carried off a quantity of provisions, and took a party of soldiers (35) whom they met with, prisoners; they are headed by a nephew of the famous Giaseri, who is said to be possessed of all his uncle's warlike qualities: he has just issued a proclamation, summoning every Corsican able to bear arms, to repair to him; the French keep the passes too closely guarded for this to be of any effect, those who are with him have bound themselves in the most solemn manner, to contend for their liberty to the last drop of blood. It is said that the Count de Marboeuf intends to block them up in an effectual manner which is the only way they can be subdued, as the retreat is of such a na- ture, that 100 men may beat 10,000. HAGUE, Dec. 26. Mr. M. Rossignal, Consul from this republic in Barbary, has sent advice to the States General, that the King of Morocco has haughtily refused and returned the presents their high Mightinesses sent him; at the same time complaining that they made very light of his friendship, because he knew very well they had sent more considerable presents to the little States of Al- giers, Tunis, and Tripoli, which in some degree, were de- pendent upon him; and therefore, to shew his resentment of this behaviour, he had declared war against the Re- public. "A treaty is now much talked of here, which has been kept very secret these four years. The treaty in question was concluded in 1774 between the House of Austria and the Ottoman Porte by which the latter en- gaged to pay the former 20,000 purses of piastres contain- ing 500 piastres each; which makes a sum of 10,000,000 piastres. Four thousand purses were stipulated to be paid as the treaty was signed, and the remaining fifteen thou- sand at two equal payments at four months distance, and the Porte likewise agreed to give up part of Moldavia and Wallachia, upon the confines of the grand Duchy of Transylvania and the bannat of Temeswaer. In return the House of Austria engaged to maintain a considerable army upon the frontier (as she has actually done to the great astonishment of all the world) and to recover all that the Porte should lose during the war with Russia, &c. PARIS, Dec. 16. The Royal audience, at which, by the King's order, all the Princes, Dukes and Peers at- tended, and by invitation all the Bishops of the diocese of Paris, as Honorary Counsellors, was extremely brilliant. They ratified and confirmed the registry of all the edicts passed in the bed of justice without any alteration. The pre eminence of the Grand Council was acknowledged, and likewise the obedience due from the parliament to the King's edicts. These edicts and declarations formed by the Minister are for the future to be communicated to the Attorney and Solicitor General before they are brought to be registered, in order to prevent remonstrances, which always tend to the disputing of authority, and prove as disagreeable to the King as to his subjects. “We have been upon the point of suppressing all the old ministry; but their is one that braves opposition. "Advice has been received, that three English frigates; stationed in America, have seized upon two of our mer- chant ships, laden with military stores and French manu- factures. The Captain had the precaution to throw their papers overboard before they were taken: and we flatter ourselves, that if they are able to prove that they failed </div> <div class="column"> <h6>Column 3</h6> before the King's Orders activated at the port they came from, they will be released. Some accounts set forth, that they are two Dutch ships under French colours; be this as it will, both the English and Dutch Ambassadors have had some talk with the ministry upon this affair, since which they have sent couriers to their respective courts. LONDON, DECEMBER 31, IT is said that a plan is now agitating in the Cabinet to conciliate matters between the Mother-country and America, by repealing the disagreeable acts, and admit- ting them to be represented by 80 members in the House of Commons. On Tuesday last a copy of the petition from the Ame- rican Congress to the King, was delivered to Lord Dart- mouth for the purpose of shewing it to the King, before it is represented to him by the agents. It contains a slate of grievances, a solicitation for the removal of evil coun- sellors, and a claim that the colonies are exempt from taxation by the British parliament. Besides the petition to the King from the American congress it is said there is one from the same body to the house of Commons. The greatest secrecy and silence is ordered to be kept on the affairs of America; and it is reported that some very disagreeable advices had within these few days been received from Boston, which have been managed with so much privacy that few or none of the contents have tran- spired to the people in office. It was yesterday reported on the Exchange, that some arms, ammunition, and field-pieces, have lately been land- ed in North-America, by a French ship. They write from Constantinople that the entry of the Austrian troops into Moldavia was the cause of much spe- culation, but the mystery of this proceeding of the court of Vienna is now unraveled, as it is known that the rea- son of it was on account of the territory which these troops occupy being ceded to the Emperor of Germany, by a late treaty concluded between that Court and the Porte. Letters from Gibraltar advise, that the Emperor of Morocco has ordered all his small corsairs into his ports in order to lay them up, and the crews are for manning some large ships which he has built; so that it is expected he will have a very powerful fleet in the Mediterranean early in the spring. Letters from Warsaw, dated Nov. 2, say, "The de- legation has at last regulated every thing regarding the Permanent Council. It is to consist of four departments, the first composed of two councellors, one Secretary, and one Copyst, is to have the charge of all the different con- cerns which come before the Marshals of the crown and Lithuania. The Second is charged with what relates to the Police, and all under departments are to bring in their reports to it. The third comprehends the military; the whole power of which is vested in the Grand General, on condition of bringing all his reports to be examined by the State. The fourth, composed of two Senators, two Councellors, one Referendary of the Crown, and one of Lithuania, is to have the care of the correspondence with Foreign powers. "It has been proposed to the Delegation to change all the cavalry, except the guards of the crown, and of the Grand General, into regiments of infantry, and to re- form the infantry which is now in use. It is said that Prince Adam Czartorinski, General of Podolia, will be appointed General of Lithuania. Dec. 30. Last night the French Secretary of embassy had a conference with Lord Rochford, on the subject of some dispatches from the court of Versailles, as had like- wise the Dutch minister. Some private and interesting intelligence was yesterday received from Gibraltar, which was immediately sent to his Majesty at St. James's. The postscript of a letter from Gibraltar says, Our Consul arrived here after being pursued by the Moors, who waited to detain him, upon account of some misun- derstanding between him and the Emperor, by whom he is said to have been shamefully treated. Last night a commission passed the Great Seal, consti- tuting and appointing Guy Carleton, Esq; Captain Ge- neral and Governor in and over the province of Quebec, with all its dependencies, with greater power than in the former commission which is superseded. Also a commission of the same kind, appointing Com- modore Shuldham, Governor of Newfoundland, thereby revoking his former commission. Private letters from Paris say, that the French hav- ing had so great a demand for teas and other goods in A- merica, they intend to send out four more ships this year than they have done for some years past, viz. two to Chi- na and two to Bengal. Orders are given for several frigates to be fitted out im- mediately at Portsmouth, to sail for America, to te sta- tione there in order to cruize along the coasts, to prevent the French sending any ammunition or arms to the Ame- ricans, it having been discovered that they have carried on that trade and taken in return wheat and other grain; by which means they have full granaries in every sea port town in France. Extract of a letter from Madrid, Dec. 10. "It is computed that we have near 500 foreigners at work in our yards, above half of whom are English and Irish; and our marine is upon so good a footing, that when the men of war upon our stocks are finished, the navy will consist of 74 ships of the line, 12 frigates, and 22 smaller vessels; which I make no doubt will enable us in a very short time to give a good account of the Bar- barians.” Extract of a letter from the Hague, Dec. 23. " Orders are given to fit out six more frigates as soon as possible to cruize in the Mediterranean; and it is assu- red that this republic will make it a common cause with Spain, to chastise the insolence of the King of Morocco." Dec. 31. They write from Cadiz, that four regiments of Spanish troops are expected there, to embark on board some men of war going to Africa, in order to attempt something against the moors, who it is said have blocked up Ceuta, with 50,000 men. There are at this time in the two Prussias 70,000: well disciplined troops; and letters from Cracow advise, that a large body of Prussian troops, with a train of artillery is now in the neighbourhood of that city. </div> <h5>Page 3</h5</h5> <div class="column"> <h6>Column 1</h6> Letters from Cadiz mention, that the fleets of the Bar- bary States are become so powerful in the Mediterranean, that the Spanish ships are often obliged to shelter at Gib- raltar and Mahon. They write from Madrid, that the greatest preparations are making it every part of that kingdom, to carry on the war with great vigour. Advice is received that the Faircloth, Captain Stamer, belonging to America, after an obstinate fight of three hours, wherein the Captain was killed, is taken by a small Spa- nish guarda costa in Glover's reef, near the Bay of Hon- duras, and carried into Campeachy, where the crew are imprisoned. GLASGOW, JANUARY 5. WE hear that his Grace the Duke of Argyle, is going to establish a manufacture of woolen cloth in the town of Inverary; the gentlemen in the county of Argyle are now at great pains in introducing a proper breed of sheep, for the improvement of their wool, an object so material to the country, and for which the Highlands of Scotland are well adapted. It were to be wished that the nobility and gentlemen of Scotland would follow the example of the patriotic Duke above mentioned, and spend their money in encouraging industry and agriculture in their native country, in place of squandering it away abroad in folly and dissipation. This laudable conduct would soon put a stop to the emigrations so frequent of late, and would also increase population, the true wealth of a coun- try, for there is no axiom truer than this, Find employ- ment, and nature will find men. BOSTON, FEBRUARY 16. We hear from Falmouth in Casco-Bay, that one day last week as four or five men belonging to the Gaspee (one of the armed cutters, on the American station) were at- tempting to go ashore in the boat, were fired at from the vessel and one of them killed; they however landed with the dead body, and a jury of inquest was summoned who brought in their verdict Wilful Murder; upon which the proper civil officers went off with intent to secure the mur- derer, but were not permitted to go on board, NEW-YORK, FEBRUARY 9. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Boston; to his friend in this city; dated Feb. 1, 1775. "The day appointed by the Provincial Congress for a public thanksgiving, a number of persons in this town shewed their disapprobation thereto, by opening their shops as usual, for which they were treated in a uncivil manner, and those persons were said to be Quakers. I therefore think it my duty, as an honest, impartial, andmost un- biassed member of that community, and one who wishes nothing more ardently than that a true, fair, and candid representation of facts might appear, to assure thee, and I can of my own certain knowledge assure thee; that it is a most malicious and injurious falsehood, and no doubt, propagated by the base enemies of our invaluable consti- tutional rights and privileges, for the most vile and ma- levolent purposes---for I do well know, that the Friends in this town, did not open their shops on said thanksgiv- ing day, nor have I heard any thing unfriendly or uncivil uttered by any of the inhalzitants of this town against them, as a people, for many years; but, on the contra- ry, I do most certainly know, that they are always, and on all occasions, treated with full as much (and I think more) catholic tenderness, friendly and neighbourly kind- ness and affection, than persons of any other sect or deno- mination amongst us. We are informed by a Gentleman just arrived from South Carolina, that the cold was so great there on the 12th of this month, that the ponds were frozen an inch thick. Last Monday the Committee of Observation met. It was proposed that they should nominate Delegates to the Continental Congress, for the approbation of the city and county, but being opposed, the final resolution of the Committee was deferred until next meeting. Last week orders were received from Virginia for the purchase of as large a quantity of arms as can be procured in this city. We are informed by a Captain of a vessel who arrived a few days ago from Antigua, that Admiral Parry, with the royal squadron under his command, on that station, has received orders to sail for Boston, where this gentle- man, will be second in command, as he is a junior Vice Admiral of the flag to Admiral Greaves; the Gentleman who brought this advice, added, that he heard Admiral Parry himself declare the above destination of his Maje- sty’s ships. A Negro plot has been lately discovered at Esopus, two of the principals have been detected and confessed that their design was to convey ammunition to the Indians, and to set fire to Esopus, Marble-town and other places. By Captain Quill, who arrived here yesterday in thirty days from the Bay of Honduras, we learn that the inha- bitants of that place are about to send a donation of one hundred thousand feet of Mahogany, to be sold in Eu- rope, for the relief of the poor of Boston. On Tuesday last, between twelve and one o'clock, the new hospital at Ranelagh, a large pile of building lately e- rected and nearly finished, was discovered to be on fire; the workmen being all gone to dinner, and the rooms lumbered with combustible materials, the flames spread so fast that before any help could be called, they were got to too great a height to be suppressed, and the whole wooden part of the building, the erecting of which had been the work of many months, was, in about an hour, reduced to ashes. It is unknown by what means the accident happened, but it is supposed that the shavings might have been left too near the fire. It is hoped, however, that charity, which reared this structure, will cause another to spring from its ashes, for the relief of the distressed poor. PROVIDENCE, (Rhode Island) Feb. 4. Mr. Caleb Wheaton, who some time since was obliged to quit this town for industriously vindicating the mea- sures of the ministry, returning here from Rehoboth the beginning of this week, which place he had likewise been obliged to leave; and yesterday a number of the inhabi- tants paid him a second visit, to remind him of their request, when he thought proper: to make a precipitate </div> <div class="column"> <h6>Column 2</h6> flight.---So may all the enemies to America become desti- tute of a resting place for the soles of their feet. Feb. 18. A spirit for military discipline continues to reign here, and the zeal with which the inhabitants have engaged therein reflects on them the highest credit; not a day passes (Sundays excepted) but some of the compa- nies are under arms, and such whose business will not permit their attendance in the day time, repair to the Court house in the evening, to perfect themselves in the exercise and maneuvers, at which they are already very expert.---A like laudable spirit continues to prevail in the country, where most of the companies lately formed are little inferior to regular troops.---So well convinced are the people, that the complexion of the times renders a knowledge of the military art indispensably necessary. A correspondent has sent us the following: "We have certain information from Middletown, in the colony of Connecticut, that Deacon Joseph Coe, Capt. David Coe, Isaac Miller, and Elihu Stone, of that place, have freed their Negroes, five in number, being healthy, able bodies, faithful persons. It is to be hoped that an example so worthy of imitation, by being publi- shed, may have some influence on all who are now nobly preparing to avoid a state of slavery, less grievous than that of Negroes, with which this country is threatened, even at the risk of their lives, and all they hold dear on earth. It must bring conviction to all who have any just conceptions of the natural rights of men, who all come into the world on equal footing as to natural liberty; the denial of this grand truth sets up a tyrant as easily as a master of slaves, more especially must this truly christian sacrifice of self interest (falsly so called) to truth and righ- teousness, powerfully affect all who prefers to have been set free by the gospel of Christ, and yet live in the daily known sin of slave keeping.---Be it likewise published to the world, that the Rev. Mr. Benedict, of said town, with many other clergymen of Connecticut, have borne a constant testimony, both in their public and private ca- pacities, against the infamous practise of slave keeping. Greatly is it to be wished, that all preachers of christia- nity, the most pure and glorious system of morals, and philosophic truth, as well as matters of faith and myste- ries peculiar to itself, would thus fulfil the christian law of love and universal benevolence, both in word and deed. NEWPORT, Feb. 13. We are informed that there was but one Tory in all New-Shoreham, on the 30th January, at which time the sons of Liberty had a meeting and requested him to renounce his wicked principles, but he refusing, they began to enquire for some tar and fea- thers, which not being ready at hand, they took some fish gurry and made a beginning to give him a new coat; up- on which he frankly confessed he was no tory, had acted only from a spirit of opposition, and despised, and hated a real Tory as much as he did a highway-robber, or the devil, their principles and practices being exactly simi- lar, and tending to the same end, viz. That of plundering and enslaving mankind. He promised to support the li- berties of his country for the future, and was ta- ken into the favour of his townsmen. It is now determined that the ship Beulah mentioned in our last, shall return to London in two days with all her Cargo, agreeable to the Resolves of the Congress. Feb. 20. By a Gentleman just arrived from the West Indies, we are informed, that the inhabitants of the Windward Islands are warm friends to American liberty : That they much approve of the proceedings of the conti- nental Congress, and will cheerfully suffer the incovenien- cies of the non-exportation agreement, as they conceive it will have a very great tendency to engage the inhabi- tants of Great-Britain in favour of America. This harbour, and Fogland Ferry, is very narrow watched, by the Rose frigate, and the Swan sloop. A Gentleman lately from Boston, informs that the sol- diers are very sickly and die fast ; that he counted up- wards of two hundred soldiers graves, and was credibly informed that there had often been 3. 4. and 5 buried in one grave; that our brethren in that insulted town, were in high spirits, and undauntedly determined to hold out to the last extremity. NEW - LONDON, FEBRUARY 17. The other evening, two of the inhabitants of a place lately known and called by the name of Ridgefield, put up in a public house in Weathersfield, and entering in- to conversation, boldly justified the vote of said town of Ridgefield, in disapproving of the doings of the con- tinental congress; and proceeded far in supporting court doctrines of passive obedience to parliament, &c. which being taken notice of by a number of Gentlemen pre- sent, they considered it in effect as a direct breach of the association of the congress, and thereupon voted, that in their opinion it was proper that these persons should be returned the way from whence they came, under safe conduct from town to town, to the said place lately known by the said name of Ridgefield ; and that all honest and true men to their country might know and avoid them, proper persons were appointed by the meeting instantly to attend them as far as Far- mington, on their return; and there to acquaint the inhabitants of their behaviour, and leave them, to their farther transportation, as is usual, and as by law is provided, in cases of strolling idiots, lunatics, &c. A letter was accordingly wrote to the Gentlemen at Far- mington, representing their unhappy and desperate si- tuation, which was signed by the principle gentlemen present, and the unhappy men, properly escorted, set off at nine o'clock amidst the, hisses, groans, &c. of a respectable concourse of people, the populace following them out of town, beating a dead march. Not the least violence, was offered, but the whole was conducted with the utmost regularity; and the company dispersed fully resolved that as no one of those principles is supposed now to be an inhabitant of that town, it shall be their care and attention that no such shall be hereafter tolerated within it, not even for a night. ANTIGUA, January 25. WE have received the following melancholy account of a storm which happened at Madeira, by Capt. George Keys, just arrived here, and whose ship was lost in it: On the 8th of December last, the gale came on, which obliged all the shipping then in the bay to put to sea, among which a large Dutch ship bound for Surinam, </div> <div class="column"> <h6>Column 3</h6> was drove ashore and totally lost; also a Portuguese brig- posed to have foundered at Sea. On the 17th, being fine weather, and the wind easterly, the shipping all returned to anchor in the bay of Fonchall. It continued fair till Sunday the 18th about 3 o'clock, P.M. when a sudden and heavy squall came on from the south, and continued to blow with such unrelenting fury, as to prevent the shipping getting out, attended with thunder, lightning and rain. About midnight, six sail out of seven were dashed in pieces, their names as follow: The Aurora, Capt. George Keys, from London; ship lost, with three of his hands, the Capt. happily was ashore. The Betsy Gregg, Capt. John Griffiths, vessel lost, the Captain with the whole crew, in number fifteen, perished. The Peggy and Betsey, from Maryland, Captain Lewes, ship lost, the crew saved. A Danish ship, Capt. Bee, the vessel lost, fourteen hands, and one woman passenger perished, the Captain being a- shore his life was saved. Two Portuguese vessels, the Commanders and crews leaving them in the beginning of the gale, saved their lives, the vessels totally lost, Capt. Stewart, of the ship Dawkins; from London for Jamaica, was the only vessel that rode out the storm, having parted one cable, and the other near going, when the dreadful tempest abated. So terrible and treinendous a gale has never been known in the memory of the oldest man living in Madeira. NORFOLK, March 8. 1775. We are informed that ADIEL MILBY, Esq; one of the Burgesses for Northampton County, Eastern-Shore, attempting to get up a tree had left his gun rested on the trunk, the piece by accident went immediately off, and un- fortunately killed him on the spot.

Nor was one colour thro' the tapestry seen, The stars were gold, the waters flow'd in green; Gem's grac'd the coast for rocks: her thread so well She plac'd, the billows seem to foam and swell; You'd think you heard them with an echoing roar Dash the sea-weed against the founding shore, And murm'ring o'er the sands their current pour. Five zones she adds to make the work compleat, The middle raging with the dog star's heat: By too much fun, (such was her wondrous art,) The loom look'd parch,d and dry'd in every part. On either side the temperate zones appear, Where milder seasons grace the circling year. Near the web's utmost bounds you might behold The regions curst with everlasting cold: There winter reign'd in all its horrors drest, And e'en the threads a frozen hue exprest. Next hell's grim Tyrant's gloomy court she drew, And brought his hid dominions out to view: When a forbidding prodigy ensu'd: For sudden tears her beauteous cheeks bedew'd Now round the borders of the web began The waves to flow, and close the destin'd plan: When three goddesses approach'd the room, Whom the nymph seeing rose, and left her loom; Surpriz'd at guests divine, a purple red, [illegible] of modesty, her cheeks bespred; with such a blush no ivory can vie, By Lydian virgins stain'd with Tyrian dye.
