The New Hampshire Gazette

Latest from France.
On Wednesday evening last, arrived the U. States frigate John Adams, Capt. Dent, from France; sailed from Cherbourg 17th July and landed a Messenger on the coast of England, on the 18th.
Capt. Dent informs, that a few days before he sailed from Cherbourg, an order came to give up several American vessels and among them was the Henry Lay, of Portland, which had been detained above a year.
The John Adams has several sets of dispatches for Government, and brings many letters and papers—The latter are not later than those received by the Female from Bordeaux.
The day the John Adams sailed from Cherbourg Capt. D. spoke one of the blockading squadron, who gave him some English papers, as late, he thinks, as the 13th or 14th July, which he afterwards gave to Admiral Hood, from the Mediterranean—These papers stated that the Court of inquiry on Capt. Bingham, had highly approved of his conduct and a letter from Admiral Sawyer, spoke also in the highest terms of his conduct, as Commander of the Little Belt, but neither of these letters were published; and that the English ministerial papers continued to affirm, that Sir Joseph Yorke has orders to commence immediate hostilities with America, unless our Government will make proper concessions for the insult thus offered their flag—The King of England remained the same as for some time past—Nothing new from the North of Europe.
Capt. D. informs that many troops were continually going from France to Spain and Portugal; and that about 80,000 had passed through Bayonne within a short time.
