CALCUTTA, Dec. 24.
fc The noble spirit of liberty which
appears by the late accounts from
rope to have spread so rapidly among
the brave Poles, will probably melfi
the icy fouls of Catharine’s frozen
Raves, and keep at bay even the automa
tons of Pruflia. Some years ago it
would have been difficult to believe that
a Briton could be found so callous to the
happiness of the huhian race so dead to
every feme of fliame as to fpcak of the
Empress of Ruflia and the Poles, with
out exprelflng the highest indignation
against the former, and affection lor the
latter. Yet we find men, both in Eu
rope and in India (although the fevr
sparks of shame which are ltill unextin
guifhed in their bofonis, will not allow
them to speak cut) who affed to confider
as legitimate the icandalous ufurpation*
of the Empreis ol Ruflia and the King
of Pruflia, and ( to brand as criminal in
furreCtions the virtuous itrugglc* of the
injured Poles, iiucli beings may indeed
cr.ll thcmlelves Britons; but Britain
mull be much fallen the day that lhe
would not blush. to own them as her
sons.
VIENNA, January t 8
Recruits, horses, clothes, andamuni
tion are daily fending to our armies,
and peace is looked upon as at a distance.
The truce concluded on the Rhine it
only to give fomc rest to the troops; a
fifth campaign seems inevitable.
A letter from Spain, dated Jan. 6>
fays, “ a squadron of five men of war
and two frigates, .with other armed
(hips, have failed from the port of Cadiz t
for the South Sea, in order, according to
the general belief of our politicians, to
render themselves masters of the coloniet
belonging to the Englllh in the neigh
borhood of California , difeovered by
the celebrated navigator M n a ri s ; for
which objeft a number of troops and ar
tillery have been embarked on board of
this squadron.
“ The squadron under the command
of Admiral Sojlano, is also expeded
soon to fail.
fC It is said, that the French squad
ron commanded by Admiral Rich
ery, has been charged by the French
government to fail, and convoy th#
French commiflicners to St. Domingo p
who are sent by the Executive Power
of France, to take pcfleilion of that part
of the island which has been ceded by
the Court of Spain to the Republic of
France .
ROCHFORT, December 27.
The diviflon from the coast of Afri
ca, composed of the Experiment man of
war, the Vigilante frigate, three cor
vettes, a gabare (lighter) and fomc priz
es entered the road of Rochefort on the
7th instant. They are richly loaded
with gold-dust, pialtres, muslin, ivory,
&c. The lowest sailor, it is said,
will have merchandize to the value of
25,000 livres in specie. This diviflon
has burnt the two richest factories be
longing to the English on the coast of
Africa, and 72 veliels with rich car
goes. The loss of the English, at the
moft moderate calculation, is estimated
at 50 millions.
BREST, 29FRIMAIRE.
There is much talk here of subduing
England, but the means of doing so have
not been difeovered. If we may judge
by our own fituatibn, the ports of
France are in a bad condition. The
buildings, which it is so important to
cxpediate,areata stand. The worksare
almost suspended. The workmen, with
the exception of fome gunners appren
tices, having refufed the last month of
their wages, it has been necefl'ary, in
order to induce them to receive them,
to employ promises and threats by
turns, during a whole decade.
