Yeflerday Mr. Pitt went to the king, at
\Vmdfor, to fettle, as it was (aid, all the pre
liminaries to the dissolution ; such as taking
his majeily’s pleasure on the new creation of
peers ; and of the changes which are in medi
tation in office. If we may trull to rumor,
uliefe changes kavc been the fufijeft of confid
eiable negociation, and of fomc wrangling.
The intrigues however are said to be at an
end, and Mr. Pitt went to the king with the
rel Ult.
. ca nnot speak with confidence on the tnb
jett, but we are told that lord Grenville has
prevailed in not fuffering lord Auckland to
come into the cabinet, and the-dukeof Portland
is to be permitted to keep his present office
with his patronage. The new arrangement is
laid to be, that lord Hawkefbury, with an
earldom, shall be appointed president of.the
council, and to secure an office to his foil.
Lord Auckland is to have the board of trade,
with fome other appointment.
The empress ot all the Ruffias, in order to
manifell her anxious desire of place, has gra
ciously condcfcended to limit her demands
upon the young king of Sweden to the follow
ing four points.
1 1 hat Sweden shall renounce all connec
tion and all commerce with the French republic
2. That he shall rc-eftablifh her creature,
baron Armfeldt, as his prime miniller
3. That he lhall deprive his uncle, the duke
de.Sudermama, of all authority in the (late ; and
4. That the young king lhall marfy her
grand daughter.
I'hefe demands, the autocratrix fays, are so
moderate, and confident with the relations of
peace and amity between the neighboring king
doms, that Ihe will call God and pollerity to
wiinefs that the guilt of involving ihe two na
tions m war lies upon his head ; and she will
make a holy appeal to the divinity, and to all
the lovereigns of Europe, upon the jullice of
her cause.
June fi.
Yeflerday morning an account was received
at the Admiralty, by a Gentleman from Cadiz,
containing advice that Admiral Mann, having
taken on hoard four months provisions and
water at Gibraltar, had resumed Ins ilation be
fore the Spanilh P> rt. Admiral Richcry,
With his was ready to put to sea ;
and a Spamfh Squadron was like wife ready to
fail at the farfietime. Admiral Mann, appriz
ed of this circumtlance, had lent a message to
the Spanish Admiral, that it was his intention,
at all events, to attack the French ships, the mo
ment they should get clear of the Neutral Pori;
and that if they were at all aflifled by the
•Spaniards, they mull answer for the conlequen
ces. The Spanish Admiral is laid to havedii
claimed all intention of Fuccouring the French,
in case of an attack from the British Squadron;
and, in proof of his sincerity, allured Admiral
Mann, it was not his dclign to fail for thirty
hours alter the French had put to sea. Richcry,
it is laid, perlilled in his intention of failing ;
so that interciting accounts may speedily be
expected from that quarter.
It is with infinite fatisfadlion v/e announce
that the treaty with Great-Britain and the U
nited States of America was ratified in the
Houle of Reprefcntatives, by a majoity of three
/oi cs.
This intelligence, so highly important to the
■ ercantilc world, was brought to Glasgow by
he F nnv, capiain Braine, m 23 days from
New-York.

We mentioned lome time ago, that frcfli
troubles had taken place in Coriica. Accord
ing to the la ll advices from that island, the In
lurgents aflembled to the number ot 4000 men,
und r the diretlion of Zampalino, and retired
into the mountains, where they fortified them
lelves. The Englilh lent againfl them two
regiments, which at firft sustained Come dis
advantage ; but in another battle the inlurgents
were entirely defeated and ditperfed ; a great
number were killed, and many” taken priioners.
By the lame advices we are informed, that the
Corlicans have demanded of England the de
polition ot the Viceroy. The burning of the
ship Ca Ira, which had not the dreadtul con
sequences which these people expedled, is alio
attributed to their ploLs.
A Policy was opened at Lloyd’s yeflmJay,
on the principle ot giving ten Guineas, to re
ceive a hundred, if war Ihould he declared a
gainfl Spain before the expiration of three
months. 1 hat the French have exerted every
art to prevail on the Court of Madrid to ef
pouie their cause, and that their favorite Frince
ot Peace is dilpoled to comply with their
wilhes, we have long known ; but we firmly
believe, thut there is too much good sense in
the Spanish Cabinet, to adopt a line of con
duct lo holtile to the interefls of the Nation
Yeflerday morning the lafl of the Hamburgh
mails which was due, and in the evening the
two former arrived, so that we are in polfef
lion ot the news in Germany, up to the 22d of
May. By these advices it appears that the Aus
trians have totally abandoned (he conflict in
Italy. The main body of Beaulieu’s army
was battening through the Tyrol, having left
only a small party to cover M.mtau ; and it u
evident lrom the dispositions which the empe
ror is making, that he will make a defper.ite
efiort on the Rhine, in which if he fails, his
very exifteuce as a sovereign power, may be
put to the hazard.
Ine accounts from France are confirmed.
Notice of the termination of the armiflice i s
formally given on the part of the empefor, as
our readers will fee by the following letter,
delivered by the imperial major of artillery,
M. de Schuway, to the commandant general of
the French advanced poll ;
“ General,
“ Hi ? rc) y al highness Archduke Charles,
general in chief of the imperial army, and the
army of the empire on the lower Rhine, has
acquainted me that, much as it was the inten
tion ot his imperial majefly to prevent the
iuileringsot humanity from another campaign,
the dilinclination of the French directory on
that head, force him to suppress his pacific
f“ntiments, and to have again recourse to ter
minate an unfortunate war, which entirely mi
litates againfl his feelings.
Agreeably to this, I have the honor to ac
quaint you that the officer who carries this
ler, has orders to remain with you till after the
expiration ot ten days after his arrival at your
advanced pods, according to the flipulation
of the armiflice ; and that the armiflice shall
be at an end the moment in which this period
expires. You will have the goodness to attcfl
the arrival of the officer, and to acquaint me of
having received that notice.

We can date, from the bed information, that
the Audio an army on the Rhine confids of at
lead two hundred and twenty thousand men,
comprising the bed appointed and bed difei
plined troops in Europe. The French army
may amount to an equal number, but inferior
in many refpcfls. The accounts that now
come front the Rhine will be particularly mtcr

though the frigates were not in fight,

Some time past the opening of the
Scheldt was proclaimed, with great
pomp and publicity, by the French go
vernment. Liberal men rejoiced that
the fhacklcs of monopoly were broken,
and experted that h rench Republicans
would insure a participation of the bene
fits of that river to all the world. Alas !
the news has reached us, that the French
and Dutch Republicans have at last a
greed to lhare the whole navigation of
that river among them)elves.
PIRA C r !
Captain Abeel, of the brigSufan and
Polly, who arrived here on Wedneiday
from Kingston, Jam. has favored us
with the following account—That on
Sunday, the 26th of June, after he had
left Kingston, Cape St. Antonia being
flill in light, a small pilot boat built:
schooner, black sided and white bottom,
came up with him, and without hailing,
fired federal ihot through his fails, and
into his vefiel, then ordered him to come
on board with his papers, which he was
obliged to eompiy with ; he and his
men were detained* and his boat sent
back again with fe\en of the pirats, who
obliged his mate to leave the deck, and
then they took charge of the vcilei, and
brought ner to an anchor under Cape
St. Antonia, where the privateer also
anchored ; next morning, at sunrise,
they began to plunder his veilcl of leve
ral fails, rigging, Ilores, provisions, wa
ter, wearing apparel and stock, besides
several other articles. Capt. Abeel could
not, by any means, obtain the name of
the Captain or vefiel, only learned thac
he had been fitted out and failed from
C? arlefton, (S.C.) about 3 months ago,
had taken one vefiel before his, but who,
or where from, he could not learn. The
schooner was manned by French, Eng
lilh, and other nations, with 25 men,
had fwceps, two 4 pounders, and final!
arms. ‘They detained Capt* Abed un
til 10 o clock, A. Mi then sent him on
board his own vefiel, ordering him to
make the belt of his way, and retufned
only fome of his papers.
