London. . . February 27. We hear from Newcastle, that on
Monday the 22, in the evening Capt. Sheaf, on board the Ann
tender belonging to the Torbay, the ship on which Admiral
Boscawen will hoist his flag, arrived at Shields; and on
Thursday the Volunteer's drum, offering his Majesty's bounty
of three pounds a man, was beat through the town, inviting
all gentlemen seamen to enter into his Majesty's service,
the like not known here for many years before; since which
several have inlisted, and tis believed the Captain will
raise a great number of volunteers.
