Savgfcaah, February 4, 1796, 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.
