Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound London, Sept. 20 From the Amsterdam Gazette Pontechery (upon the Coast of Coromanuel, in the East Indies) January 21. Three Ships belonging to the New French Company are preparing to set out by the beginning of next Month; they sail all together by reason of the English Pyrates, a great Number whereof are in the Indian Seas, and they have already taken several considerable Prizes from the English, Dutch, and Turks. They assure us that these Pyrates are selled in the Isle of St. Mary, near the Isle of Madagascar; a Place in which they tell us they may so secure themselves, that it will be no easy matter to destroy them; for they may build Fortifications, and their Provisions they may have from Madagascar, which is the cause not only of a great deal of Uneasiness but also Fear in several Nations trading to the Indies. By a Letter from Gibralter, we have the following. Lift of the Prizes taken by the Moors, and carried into Salee and Larache in the Month of July, viz. A Franch Tartane, with about 800 Quintals of Stuff, whose People were carried Captives into Larache. The Anthony Galley of Hamburgh, bound for Lisbon, Capt. Jerome Tourmoy, 10 Guns, 14 Men, takenabout 14 Leagues off of Lisbon, on the 18th of July, and carried into Salee. Her Lading was very valuable, Cambricks, Galz'd Linnen, Cloaths, Damasks, Copper Plats, & c. A Frenc Ship from Cadiz for Havre de Grace, carried into Salee, July 25, from which they made, 26 Captives, among them two French Merchants and an English Gentleman's Son about 9 Years old. Her Lading consisted among other things, of 60,000 Dollars in Gold and Silver COin, 50 Quintals of Cochineal, 3 Boxes of wrought Plate, 900 Quintals of Soap, 50 Buts of Oil, & c.

His Majesty forbids all his Subjects, of what Quality and Condition forever they be, to wear, buy, or keep bu them any Diamonds, &c and such as have any in their Possession, are to cause the same to be sold without the Kingdom within a Month after Publication of the said Asset, upon the Penalty of 10000 Livers.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Charlestown, South-Carolina, July 27. The Measures for some time part purified by his Excellency Sir Jeffery Amherst, in regard to the exportation of provisions, &c. from the Northern Colonies have had the best effects; for, at Hispaniola and other places, the French are now reduced to such straits, that they can hardly submit themselves, and are almost disabled from fitting out even their merchantmen, much more whole fleet of privateers as heretofore. The same measures too may be said to contribute to the more easy or early reduction of the Havannah; and would certainly have prevented our trade being annoyed by privateers from St. Augustine, had orders been there in due time to grant commissions. August 6. On Sunday arrived here Capt. Hall in 9 weeks from Gibraltar; he left 20 ships of the line besides frigates, under the command of Adm Saunders and Commodore Brett. This fleet had made no attempt on Cadiz, but whenever the wind blew easterly they cruized in the Gut, to prevent the junction of the combined fleet of French from Toulon and Spanish at Carthagena, with that at Cadiz; and when westerly, it returned to Gibraltar. The Gut was [illegable] by a number of small Spanish privateers, which did considerable hurt to the British trade in those seas. We learn from Jamaica that Commodore Forrest was gone for England: That a man of war on that station, and a privateer, had cut out of the bay or river Dolce, the annual ship that loads there for Old Spain with Guatemala indigo, cochineal, and money, which tho at that time only one third loaded, is valued at 35,000 l. sterling. And that the Bay of Mexico swarmed with English privateers, suppos'd no less than 30. There a cat present only 5 topsail vessels in our harbour, and a few coasting sloops and schooers; & 20,000 barrels of our last year's crop of rice are supposed to be still in province unfold. The prospect of a prodigious crop still continues; few think we shall make less than 150,000 barrles, unless a hurricane reduce it.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound European Intelligence London, May 13. We hear the packet for East Flordia, which on account of the dangerous bar at St. Augustine, was ordered to touch at Carolina and Georgia, will soon be appointed to land her dispatches, letters, &c. at the Musketo harbour, where dispositions are now taking to build a new town. May 17. Several large ships are now fitting up in the river to import timber and plank form North-America. May 21. They write from Jamaica that four Dutch sloops, with cargoes of cochineal, indigo, logwood, and silver have been seized as illicit traders on the Spanish Main, and carried into Campeachy. They write from Scotland, that several foreign agents have appeared in the northern parts of that kingdom, to enlist Highlanders into the service of his Prussian Majesty. May 24. It is said that the affair of Mr. Almon and certain other proceedings now depending in the courts of Westminster, will soon be dropt, as a prelude to that happy unanimity expected to result from a change in the political system so much talked of at the other end of town. May 25. The following promotions are now talked of, viz. Duke of York to be Lord High Admiral; Lord Temple, Privy-Seal, and the Duke of Marlborough, to have the vacant Garter. May 26. This day his Majesty went in state to the House of Peers, and gave the royal assent to the following bills, viz. The bill to alter the duties on gum senega, to confine the import to Great-Britain; and to lay a duty on the exportation thereof. The bill for vesting the fort of Senegal, with its dependencies, in the crown. The bill to prohibit the importation of foreign manufactured silk stockings, gloves, and mits. The bill to prevent the inconveniencies arising from the present method of issuing note and bills in Scotland. The bill to enlarge the fund for paying the Judges salaries. And also to several other publick and private bills. A new writ is issued out for electing a member for Harwich, in the toom of the Right Hon. Charles Townshend, appointed Paymaster-General of his Majesty's forces in the room of Lord Holland.

Text Any textual data included in the document Extract of a Letter from Albany, August 14, 1758 "Major Rogers and the Enemy, the 8th Inst. have had a Brush near Fort Anne, near the Wood-Creek. --- All that we know of the Affair, is, That the Enemy, about 150 Indians and 300 Canadians; designed to cut off our Escort between Saraghtoga and Fort-Edward; but were met by Rogers, with about 600 (he ought to have been 750 strong, but some of the Provincials feeling poorly, return'd to Camp) who received the first Fire, which kill'd and wounded several of his Men. The Engagement lasted about 2 hours. We have had killed our own Men, some say 50, others 80. The French 60 or 70 at least. We took two Prisoners; who tell the Enemy lost several Persons of Note; particularly, Mons. Morrier, one of the principal Directors of Indian Affairs; -- A Person noted for going among the Indian Settlements, and bringing them a great Distance to War, he was called the Indian General. Rogers pursued the Enemy two Miles, but could not come up with them. The next Day he buried his Dead, and scalped the Enemy; Next Port it is probable I may be able to send you further Particulars of this Affair. Putnam's Men would not stand by him, he is missing. If the Provincials would have behaved as well as their Officers, in all probability the whole Party would have been destroyed; but its impossible for the Officers to make the Provincials obey Commands, owing to which the Enemy often escape. You no doubt have heard how Col. Hart a New Hampshire Colonel behaved the 28th Ult. who was sent from Fort-Edward with 250 Men, on hearing the Firing when the Enemy cut off our Teams; had he join Capt. Bourbank who was sent 240 Men from the Post at Halfway Brook, and who fired upon the Enemy, the wile of the Enemy's Party must have been cut off; for the most Part of the Indians were drunk; but so far was he from joining Bourbank, tho' he sent four different Messengers to desire Hart to come up with his Party, that he even would not suffer 50 regulars who he had under his Command and who were willing to go, but ordered them to bury the Dead. This Hart is now in Confinement, and to be tried by Court-Martial, and hope he will meet with his Deserty." Since the above, we have Letters by Yesterday's Post which say, That Roger's Party was 700, with Putnam in the Front; that they fell in on the 8th Inst. near Fort [illegible] with a Party of 170 Indians and 280 Canadians and Colony Troops. Our People were discovered by some of the Provincials firing at Pigeons; Roger's Party was then in an Indian File, who took up a long while before the Rear came up. A Scout has been out since from Half-Way [illegeable], to the Place of Action, and sound upwards of 100 dead Bodies, and believe their might be many more, but the Stench was so great they could not stand it. Rogers buried all his Dead. ---"The Enemy carried off Major Putnam, Lieutenant Tracy, and 2 Provincials. The Regulars Officers that were with Rogers gave him a very good Character, and say he behaved extremely well. A Flag of Truce came to the Camp at Lake George the [12th?], and we learn Vaudrevil will agree to an Exchange of Prisoners, Major Putnam, &c. are at Tieonderoga. Rogers's Party consisted of 65 Regular Soldiers Volunteers, and 2 Officers, 80 light armed Infantry, and 80 Rangers, the rest were made up of Provincials. Tuesday, last returned from a Cruize the Privateer ship [illegable] Francis [Kossler? Koffler?], Commander, having met with no other [illegable] has been heretofore mentioned. On Friday the Privateer ship Roayl Hunter, James Jauncey, Commander, returned from a Cruize, and brought in with him a Dutch ship he seized at Sea the 23rd of July last, as she was on her Passage from Rotterdam to Cape Francois. Capt. Jauncey also brought in with him a French Polaccah, which he took the 24th of July, while in Consort with Captain Deveraux, in the St. George of this Place She is called La Marie, Mons. Jean Baptiste Freziet, Master, bound for Marseilles to Cape Francois, and loaded with Wine, Oil, Flour, Soap, Candles, Fruit, dry Goods, &c. On the 28th of July, the Royal Hunter took another Polaccah, bound from and to the same Place with the other, and is loaded with the like Commodities, She was taken likewise in Consort with the St. George an in Company with the Captains Wanton, Hawkins, and Chaloner, in 3 Privateers of Rhode-Island;----- We hear the St. George, and one Rhode Island Brig are bringing her in to this Port, as they were left off the Hook, a few Days ago. The same Day the Privateer sloop Harlequin Capt. Wright, returned from an eight Months Cruize; but brought in no Prize with her: She has however, had some small Concerns, which have already been inserted. On Saturday returned from a Cruize, the Privateer sloop Tyger, Alexander McDougal, Commander. From the Produce of the ship Staat Rotterdam, she carried into St. Kitts, and of several Vessels the ransom'd, we hear she has made a good Cruize for all concerned. Saturday Evening last a French Settee, under the Command of Capt. Holmes was sent in here by the Privateer Snoe Dreadnought, Willet Taylor, Commander. She is called the Virgin Lagare, Mons. John Rogue Master, was bound from Matineco to Old France, and was taked the 29th of July last, in Lat. 32, 25 Long. 54. She has on board 188 Hogsheads of Sugar, 15,000 Weight of Coccoa, besides a Quantity of Coffee, Indigo, Cochineal, &c. She had a Mail on Board, which she sunk before she struck; and gave an Account to the Captors, that they daily expected at Martinero, a French Fleet of one hundred and odd Sail, under Convoy of seven Men of War.

I answer'd, I wou'd inform you of this Proposal, and when the King had intimated his Pleasure to me thereon, I wou'd not fail to communicate it to him.

There are at this Time Necessaries enough in Amsterdam to equip the Fleet for two Years, out of the Ships that arriv'd from the Baltick. I gave Monsieur de Wit to understand how much you concern'd your self in all these Successes; and for his particular Interest, he desir'd me to thank you, and assure you he thought himself ve ry much oblig'd to you.
