malt at Wefel, but do not yet know the particulars. It is
said to have been appealed with difficulty; and that mod of
the magistrates have been sent to prison. This town is to
be evacuated before the end of this month; and the Palatine
troops, that are to enter in garrison here, are ready to march
from Juiiers and Duren on the firft notice.
Cologne , Dee. 17. It is probable the garrison the French
have had ever since April 1757, will soon quit this town,*
as the commandant has delivered the keys ot the city to the’
Burgher-matters; alfb the pods on the ramparts, and the
artillery they had taken out of the arsenal.

selves more and more, and are already in the circle of Swa
bia. Several inhabitants of the country of Wirtemberg and
Baden-Dourlach are fending away their effe&s to the towns
of Switzerland, particularly to Basil.
There is great appearance aifo, that Prince Ferdinand of
Brunswick, as soon as the allied troops arc all fettled in
their winter-quarters, will repair to the King; and that, if
after the definitive treaty between us and the Austrians
should continue, his Hi&hnefs will be employed in his Ma

in two privateers belonging to New-York, have sent in there
a French (hip, richly laden, from Bourdeaux for St. Do

Goodall, to the Governor of St. Augulline. Capt. Carey
arrived off of St. Augulline 16th inlf. and failed next day.
He sent the dispatches alhorc by his Lieutenant Mr. Sandy*,
who was very politely treated oy the Spaniards and brought
off the answers to the letters. By the said ship of war wq
learn as follows, •* March 16, 1763, there were at N st. Au
gullire three privateers laid up, viz. a Hoop of eight guns,
a schooner of fix guns, and another fmail schooner of fix
fwivcls, a tender to the other.—A schooner lately arrived
there from the Havana with an exp refs from Old-Spain, and
a letter from Gen. Keppcl, with an invitation to the Bilhop

A Hoop failed 20 days before for the Havana, bat had no
commUfion. They had no privateers at sea for two months
before, nor have any vessels been carried in there since the
cessation of hollilities. The Spaniards are very sorry to
leave St. Augulline: Provisions are plenty there, a* they
have had two Hoops from La Vera Cruz loaded with them.

months before tocruile off Cuba, and were both 101 l there.”
