The New Hampshire Gazette

By Capt. Jarvis we are informed, that the Scorpion Sloop of War, which he had the Command of, was appointed to bring the Dispatches the Albany brought; but he unfortunately springing a Leak between Portsmouth and Plymouth, he went on board the Albany, and put the Captain of her on board the Scorpion, and proceeded with the Albany on his Voyage, without Hesitation.

We are also informed, that the Ships which put into the Road of Aix, still remained there; that some of the Ships which got up the River Villaine had been destroyed by Sir Edward Hawke, who was arrived at Portsmouth; that the Crew belonging to the Resolution Man of War, had all got safe to England from the coast of France; that there was some Talk of a Spanish War; that there was a grand Fleet fitting out at Portsmouth and Plymouth, which was to be commanded by Admiral Saunders, on a very important Expedition; and that there were great Preparations making in every Port in England, for a vigorous Prosecution of the War, notwithstanding their talk of a Peace sometimes.
