It is very certain that Administration entertain the greatest apprehension
of the consequences likely to arise from the sailing of the Dutch fleet from
the Texel. The original advices upon this subject were substantially as
follows:
Capt. MACDOUGAL, of the Flying Fish sloop of war, having been
stationed by direction of Admiral DRAKE, Commander in Chief in the
Downs, to watch the motions of the Dutch off the Texel, returned to the
Downs on the 6th inst. with information that nine Dutch ships of the line
of two decks, and three frigates, had come out of the Texel on Sunday
morning last, and came to an anchor a few hours after near the Heildaa.
Since the above, however, private accounts have been received of a
more alarming nature, containing secret information of the destination of
this formidable squadron, in consequence of which Gen. PHILIPSON,
and Gen. ST JOHN have received orders yesterday to inspect the troops,
and order them to such parts of the coast as it is apprehended are most
liable to an attack. Orders have also been issued to all General Officers
belonging to the several regiments to repair immediately to their
respective commands, and the various corps of militia in the
neighbourhood of the metropolis have been enjoined to hold themselves
in immediate readiness for marching.
In confirmation of the above it is very certain that yesterday a letter
was received by the Lord Mayor, from the Earl of SHELBURNE, one
of His Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, directing his Lordship
to have the militia called out, and put under arms with all possible
expedition; and a letter to the like purpose was sent to all the different
Lord Lieutenants throughout the kingdom.
In consequence of the above letter, the Lord Mayor immediately
issued his summonses for convening a Court of Aldermen, and also
a Court of Lieutenancy, at Guildhall, this day, when his Lordship will
lay before them the contents of the message he has received.
On Wednesday the Western battalion of Norfolk Militia arrived at
Swaffham and Dereham, on their route to Yarmouth.

and pedlars [sic], in the room of Mr SMITH, deceased.
Thursday last, at the annual shew [sic] of Auriculas at QUANTRELL's
Gardens, the first prize was adjudged to William QUANTRELL for his

Friday last was committed to the castle, by J. SMITH, Esq., Thomas
WARF, an old offender, who has been in custody several times, charged
on the oath of Amy, the wife of Thomas JARWOOD, with breaking into
the dwelling-house of her said husband, who was absent on Sunday night,
the 28th of April last, and violently assaulting and ravishing her.
Samuel TUBBY, of Bawburgh, was on Sunday night carried to the
Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, with a very bad fractured leg, and is in a
fair way of recovery.
Last week was married, John LEATHES, Esq., of Bury, to Miss DEATH,
of the same place.
Last Sunday died, at Acle, in Norfolk, in the 20th year of her age, Mrs
Charlotte SMALLPAGE, daughter of Mr John COOPER, deceased, late
master of the Queen's Head tavern, in the said town, much regretted by all
who had the pleasure of her acquaintance.
On Wednesday the 1st inst. died, in the 73d year of his age, Thomas
FEVERALL, of Carbrooke, in this county, Gent. -- His upright conduct,
and benevolent disposition, justly rendered him esteemed in life, and
lamented in death.
On Friday last died, at her house in Chapel-field, in this city, Mrs
Letitia BEDINGFIELD, aged 77.
