Salem, July 29. Thursday evening arrived at Marblehead, the Dutch sloop of war Ajax, Capt. Barker, and the merchant ship Prince of Orange under her convoy, bringing out his Excellency Mynheer Chauvelin, with his family and suite as Minister from the Prince of Orange to the United States.
They sailed from Helvoetsluys 22d May, and touched at Portsmouth, Eng. and bring papers of that place to the 6th June, containing London dates to the 2d only, not so late as before received.
The Commander brings the pleasing report that a speedy PEACE was likely to take place between Great Britain and this country—but on this subject our recent English accounts probably give as much information as this vessel can afford. From the papers we can extract no article of intelligence we were not previously in possession of.
On Saturday morning the above vessels left Marblehead for Boston, and arrived there on Sunday evening.
