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. June 7. 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. Baron de Kray, Lieut, General.

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 elling. B O S T O N, July it. I he British (Halifax) squadron, no w cruising oft’ the coast of the United States, consists, it is said, often fail of men of war and frigates. Car. Hill, who arrived on Sunday, saw during the Friday before, two fri gates under cafy fail, Handing to the ealtward. Soon after he loft fight of them, a very heavy cannonading com menced, and continued for an hour; from whence he judged that an atflioi* had occurred between the two frigates he saw. The firing was evident ; and though the frigates were not in fight, his vefl’el trembled on each difeharge. Other arrivals heard a firing the fame day. N E W-YO R K, July 12. The following piece of IMPOR TANT INFORMATION, howev er, may not be confidcred altogether con jeciurtdy but vve expert momentarily— that it will be announced, viz.—That the Island of Gnat-Britain is actually declared, in a state of siege, by France , Spam, Denmark, Sweden, Hol land, the States of Italy, &c. &c. leagued (like the late armed neutrality) in one immense NAVAL ARMAMENT, at reduce tie marafime power of that haughty nation, and to take all manner of vejftls that lhall trade with her, until Jbe shall acknoivlidg the FRENCH REPUBLIC, and (hall treat the rest oi the World less cavalierly ! ! ! July 15. 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.
