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.
