LONDON, TUESDAY, April 30.
A letter received a few days ago from Philadelphia has the following passage : I am sorry, my dear friend, to add that we have lost four privateers fitted out at this place; they unfortunately fell in with two English men of war, one of 60 guns, and the other of 50; our officers and mariners fought gallantly till their vessels were almost torn to pieces; three of them were obliged to strike their colours, and yield to the superior force and weight of metal of the cannon of the men of war; the fourth made sail, and got from them, but having lost many of her hands, and her masts and sails being in a most shattered condition, ran on shore near this port, where she beat to pieces. Her crew are saved."Extract of a letter from Chatham, April 26.
"Yesterday orders were received at the Commissioners office here, for the shipwrights and caulkers of this dock yard to work one tide extra for four months. Also for our blacksmiths to work one quarter of a day extra."BANKRUPTS.

LONDON, THURSDAY, May 2.
Extract of a letter from New-York, March 7, brought by the Two Sisters, arrived at Newry in Ireland
"The reinforcements intended for General Wooster before Quebec are countermanded; it is thought here (for it is only supposition, as the Congress are very secret in their affairs) that from intelligence they have had from England, those troops cannot be spared from hence, and that the siege of Quebec will be raised, and our troops return to Montreal, where they will fortify themselves to the best advantage. Very little cash is seen here; the paper money of the Congress, somehow or other, has got into circulation; tho' no one likes to take it, yet they dare not say so. Specie has undoubtedly been hoarded up; but should the misers be found out, Lord have mercy upon them, say I ! tarring and feathering would be the least of their punishment, for being such enemies to their country; for that is the cant phrase."Extract of a letter from Portsmouth, May 1.
"Within these three or four days near �300,000 in foreign specie has been shipped for America, on board the men of war.Extract of a letter from Liverpool, April 28.
"A letter received here this day, dated the 14th of Feb from Jamaica, which came by a vessel that sailed the 16th, says, a report which took place some days ago, that nine sail of French ships of the line, and 13,000 troops had arrived at Hispaniola; but it is without any foundation, as several people are come from thence, and contradict the report entirely as to the men of war, and that only 2100 men in three regiments are sent to relieve the garrison, as they are every three years; and there are only two frigates and a sloop on the Hispaniola station."SHIP NEWS.

From the LONDON GAZETTE, May 4.
LONDON, SATURDAY, May 4.
As soon as the American Congress heard of the Prohibitory Act, and of the hiring of foreign troops to lay waste their country, all hope of peace vanished in an instant. It was immediately resolved to decide the business at Boston, that the American army there might be ready to act as exigencies should require. Orders for this purpose were sent to General Washington. That officer thereupon changed his operations from a blockade to an attack. He made a feint of bombarding the town from a battery of eighteen pounders upon Phipp's Farm, while he was preparing his real attack upon Dorchester Heights. The cannonade from Phipp's Farm lasted several days; at length he opened his bomb battery on the Dorchester side, and threw several shells into Boston, and so alarmed General Howe, that he not only saw the inevitable destruction of the town, while his troops were in it, but his communications with his own lines upon Boston Neck rendered difficult and hazardous; therefore he resolved to dislodge the Provincials, if possible, from their post upon Dorchester Heights; but just as he was preparing to put a body of troops, into the boats, to be better conveyed across the little bay to Dorchester, a terrible storm arose, the sea ran so high there was the greatest danger, and the bank, which before was dry and hard, became so soft, the men must have been above their knees in mud, before they could have got to the boats. These difficulties obliged General Howe to abandon his design. In this [...] He resolved to quit the place. Such of the inhabitants as were most obnoxious to the Americans, he ordered on board the ships; the troops followed; the stores, and part of the cannon, were also put on board. The Provincials harrassed them exceedingly; and tho' the manoeuvre was managed with all the dexterity possible, they suffered greatly.HOME NEWS.

BRISTOL, April 24. A few days ago some persons, in order to raise the laugh on the credulous, had a quantity of hand bills distributed about this city, importing "That Don Diego Antonio was just arrived from Portugal, and intended to walk on the surface of the water, without any artificial means, at five o'clock on Monday evening, from Roundham-passage to the Hot well-house, and back again." On which occasion, it is supposed, upwards of 10,000 people assembled on both sides of the river to see this wonderful performance ! when, to their mortification, after waiting a considerable time, no Don Diego appeared, and they were at last obliged to return, stung with the reflection of their own folly, in becoming the laughing stock and dupes of the public, in all the streets through which they returned.- The above take-in was the consequence of a wager; a gentleman having laid a sum that though the tide was at that time out, and the month April, yet he would, notwithstanding, bring the people together to make fools of them.DEVIZES, WILTS.

THE Annual Ceremony called the BIZANT, will be on Monday the 13th instant, and a BALL will be given by the Mayor and Corporation, who will be very glad to see their friends of the town and country as usual, notwithstanding the report to the contrary, and the manifold abuses and scurrilities that have been propagated, backed with perjury and other villainous attempts to depreciate the character of some of its members. Witness the prompting an abandoned wretch to swear through a wall more than three feet thick, though they well knew (at the time he was going to be examined) that he would perjure himself by so doing.SALISBURY.

He also begs leave to inform the gentlemen, he makes all sorts of dress and undress wigs, in the greatest perfection, which by the use of a new-invented spring, have the peculiar advantage of always sitting close to the face, they are allowed to be superior to any now used, as they contract or extend to any size, and give not the least inconveniency to the wearer.N.B.
