On Friday laft a courier arrived in town exprefs from Paris with advice, that most of the edicts of Comte D'Estaing made after the conqueft of Grenada, had been refcinded by ordered of the court, in confequence of the fpirited mem rial of the chamber of commerce. The proprietors, therefore, of effates in that island will not be wantonly difpofleffed of them by the decrees of a perfidious victor; and even the fugars that were ready for exporting, are order ed to be shipped for France, and from thence to be fent to England in neutral bottoms for the ufe of the British owners. Extract of a letter from Dublin, Nov. 16. Yesterday between seco and bcco working manufactures affembled before the Parliament Houfe, in College Green, and at the avenues Jeading thereto, cay ng out," a free trade, a fhort money bil, and the sights of Ireland;" and flopping the members on their entrance into the house, they fwore them to fupport the intereft of their country, by voting for a lix months money bill. The millitary was brought in order to fupprefs this afleinbly, but the peo ple appeared fo determined and fixed to their purpose, that any attemp: of that kind would have been attended with much mitchief and effufion of blood on both fides. Thofe members who approved themselves friends to their country were received with the louded acclamations of joy and gratitude. The women jined in the repeated fhouts of a free trade, fhort money bili, &c. whilft terror and difmay ap palled the fouls of many. In the military penfions in Ireland, during the above time, there was a decrease of 43561. but then there was an increase upon the staff of 24071. The chapter of incidents, viz. fecret service, &c. in Ireland, from 1775 to 1777, was 33,7741. from thence to 1779, 32,494). so that there was a faving of 12791. The debt of Ireland up to Lady-day, 1779, amounted to 1,062,5971, but neither the Tontine annuities, nor the arrears due were included, nor the deficiencies for feven months before in the feveral departments of the revenue. The lottery intended to raife part of the fupply in Ireland for next year is to confift of 40,000l. tickets, at 51. each; the highest prize 1o,cool. The prizes a e to bear intere at four per cent. but to be paid cffin a certain time. 18. The fquadron under the celebrated commodere Jones, now in the Texel, and which is fuppofed will put to fea between the 20th and 25th inftent, confift of the following fhips. They are to go north about, and are fa d to be bound to Philadelphia. The Serapis, of 44 guns, taken near Hull, Jones's fhip. The Alliance, of 36 guns on one deck, Bofton built. The Monfieur, of 32 guns, belonging to the St-te of Penfylvania, purchafed by the French. The Palas, of 32 guns, Boften built, fitted out at hr., and manned chiefly with American prifoners from Plymouth and Port(mouth. The Revenge, of 14 guns, a Philadelphia brigantine. The Langerville, of 12 guns, French built. The America, of 24 guns, is fill at Bergen, in Norway, and will, it is fuppofed, join him in the Lid feas. They all carry both French and American colours, to infure their fafety in any neutral port that might incise to step them or their prizes. "The gentlemen who compofed the lawyers 19. The Fench are difmantling their fleet, corps attended unarmed, and echoed the huzzas and landing the provisions; the Spanish Admiof the manufacturers; at the fame time affuring ral Cordov., with the major part of his hips, is them that they might recuro quietly to their allo preparing to quit Breft, and retoun Lome respective places, as every exertion would be to Cadiz ; fo that our naval war, as far as deufed to procure what it was equally their inpended on the operations of the combined tereft, and that of the kingdom in general to accomplith. The lord mayor, and sheriffs alfo, diffinguifhed themselves on this occafion to prevent any evil confequences from this concourse fleets of the enemy, and the British fleet under the command of Sir Charles Hardy, may be concluded to be over for this year. The Britifh fleet w.ll be divided east and weft, one part of of it will winter at Plymouth, and the other part at Portsmouth. They write from Breft, that a fine new frigate of 36 guns, with a number of foldiers on board, bound to Cape Nichola Mole, took fire about 28 leagues from that place, when she blew up, and all on board per shed. The routes for the different regiments which compofe the camps of Coxheath and Warley common, were fent from the War-office on Thursday laft, and bo h camps will be entirely broke up before the expiration of next week. 20. Commodore Johnstone is failed with his Aquadron for the coaft of Portugal. The difagreeable advice was received yefter day of the Valentine Indi man, Captain Ogilvie, and the French prize Eaft Indiaman, from the Mauritius, having both run afhore on the Shark Sand near Guernsey; most of the bale goods, though much damaged, are likely to be faved, but the falt-petre of both his, to a very confiderable amount, was totally destroyed foon after they truck on the ground. They ran afhore in a hard gale of wind in attempting to m.ke Guernsey, on the approach of a fleet of near twenty fail at the clofe of the evening, which they took for a detached quadron of the combined fleets. This morning arrived exprefs at the General Poll Office, Lombard freet, the mail from the Weft Indies, which was brought over in the Lord Hyde packet boat, Capt. Jefferys, which failed from Jamaica the 16th of October laft. When the Hyde packet left Jamaica, all was quet, and they had not been able to learn where d'Estaing was, though feveral fchooners had been dispatched for that purpose, to varions parts of the Weft Indies; from which it was fuppofed he was gone to North America. The force he had with him confifted of 26 fail of the line, 12 frigates, and 160 tranfports. Advices are received from Halifax, of fo late date as the 20th of October, which mention, that every thing is quiet there, and they had beard nothing of d'Estaing. By a letter from Martinico it is confirmed that that ifland has been ravaged by a difmal tempeft, on the 28th of Auguft: and adds, that at midnight the winds blew with an incre. dib e fury; the whole coaft was covered with thipwrecks; 16 fhips at a chor in St. Peter's road were drove off and wrecked; 12 others, bound to Fort Royal, went totally down; the houfes on the ifland were defolated, and prowifions at fuch a rate that is was hardly poffible to procure them, the negroes folely amounting to 75,000. 21. A hip yefterday arrived from St. Kitt's, by which it is learnt, that the Prince man of war, and two others of 64 guns, are coming home convoy to the Weft India fleet. The purpose of the return of the men of war is merely to get new mafts. The hip that brought this news, failed for St. Kitt's, the beginning of last month. A report prevailed at Jamaica, when the Lord Hyde packet-boat left that island, the 16th of September, that D'Estaing had failed from Cape François for North America, with 26 fail of the line, 22 friga cs, and 6 transports, with 6000 troops on board. Portsmouth, Nov 21. Arrived the Champion frigate, Captain Hamilton, from Jersey. By this frigate we lean, that laft Toefday the Ambufcade frigate, Captain Phipps, in a vio lent gale, got on shore on the rocks near Jerfey, but after cutting away her mafts, got off, and into St. Aubin's Bay. This morning arrived the Prince of Wales, Royal Oak, and Nonfuch men of war, from the West Indies; the hips under their convoy parted from them in a gale of wind off the Banks of Newfoundland, except eight, which they brought fafe into the channel. It is feared the Grampus and Tortaife ftoreships are loft in the gale; the Royal Oak, and Non. such, sprung their mafts, and the Prince of Wales threw 20 of her guns over board. 22. This day came on at Guildhall the election of a chamberlain for this city for the remainder of the years, in the room of the late Benjamin Hopkins, Efq; the court came on the huffing at one o'clock, when the recorder addrefled the livery in an eloquent fpeech, the fubftance of which was, that "as he had no doubt of the judgment of the livery to diferiminate, he truffed to their good fenfe to elect the most worthy candidate; but his precife words could not be heard, on account of the amazing croud. Mr. Wilkes spoke next, expreffing his intentions, if chofen, and his fuperabundant gratitude to the livery; his fpeech was received with applanfe by at leaft 1500 people who could not hear a word of it, and by almost all that could. Mr. James then faid a few words, but feemed to be oppreffed with the weight of his own diffidence. The names of the candidates were then propofed, when there appeared a very great majority in favour of Mr. Wilkes, whom the Theriffs declared duly elected; but a poll was immediately demanded in favour of Mr. James, and another for Mr. Wilkes, which commenced at half paft two o'clock.
