New-Castle [England], Feb. 22. On Monday evening Captain
Scaife, on board the Anna Tender, belonging to the Torbay,
the ship in which Admiral Boscawen will hoist his flag,
arrived at Shields; and on Thursday the volunteers drum,
offering his Majesty's bounty of three pounds a man, was
beat thro' this town, the like not known here for many years
before; since which several have enlisted; and 'tis believed
the captain will raise a great number of volunteers here.
