In the mean time we are happy in being able to (late, that the reports which have been circulated have been exaggerated, and to a(fure our Readers, that only thirty-five Europeans have loft their lives in this lamentable occurrence, in eluding Officer s. We have received Jamaica Papers to the 26th of December. which contain much interelling informs• Lion, not only refpetaing the evacuation of St. Do. mingo by the French, and their fribfequent arrival at Port Royal, but refpeCting the affairs of Jamaica itfelf. it appears that his Honour the 1..111./TINANT GO •ERNOR delivered a mcfrage to the Alterably, accom panied by a letter from Lord HOBART, to his Honour, which had for their ohjeft to procure a grant from the Aftembly for the maintenance of an additional force of ;coo men in this ifland, fur its greater feetuity and protellion.. The fame propofi tion had been made fome time ago, which was at gatived. Lord HOBART aatei, ! in his letter to the LIZUTRNATIT Govravoit, the following reafon, among others, for requelling the Aftembly to feces• lido the principk on which the propofition was made: If Ids litaießy's fabled. raiding in the Ifland of Jamaica did contribute their full proportion to the general eapenetta of the Em pire, three nitrtat be tome grounds to rapport the argument that bas been oryed againft their making a leparate pmeifton for de fraying the e tpence of the land force that may be flAtioned hrtbt protonoln of the lflAnd; but wheels an argument, difpatli.mately esamlned, will b. f,und uut,rabic, it la to he hoped that a re-emi lideration of th., priottple up -n which your prop-Gtion wa. node ru ttu. Aff.n.l.ll, will had to a more fathdadtory refolt, and that the amino+ odd MD. r be i.mt riled by the mean. of proyi4 ng th. fupply, tb:n by Argument. that brlpeah lei hi-reality than might bar- heels erre d Intro the Illand of Jamaica." His Lordihip then enters at louse length on the atranzemcnts relative to the military eke bliflunent at Jamaica, in times of dangerind diS culty, and holds, out the probability of a fpeedy re duetion of the force in the Wand, on the evacuation of St. Domingo by the French troops, which he af fures his Honour would then be Ids expenfive than the arrangement of 1798, when the Allen;bly agreed to the maintenance of aOOO infantry, and the cod) Light Dragoons. His Lordlhip concludes his letter to the Governor, by (eying— . Under a full patudion that the earearrasee of the Atexably will be obtained to the latent of the ecumnbOlcms now propeted. yea are autheetted to accede to their wafter= the fabled of the ad Welt India Regbneet ; but it, coomary to the restorable ex pedition of his Majefty's Governmeat, the Altesably bond not mom: even to that extent, the Intention of removing the Black Troops amine laid erne." The Affembly, after mature deliberation, nega tived the propofition sm. sea. and 'Rated their rea tons for b doing at full length ; one of the princi pal was, their inability, from the trade of the bland having been diverted to other channels.

We are now returning to Jamaica with a fine French frigate, which will make one fhip of the line, five frigates and fix sloops captured." Our Falmouth letter prefents tome interelling in formation refpefting the French fquadron under Ad. miral Ltuots, which it would appear Tailed f tom the Ilk of Fr.ince between three and four months ago, having 3000 troops on board.

ISO 3. 6 , The intelligence of a new war,wilich only reached us about the middle of September, and then by an American (hip, has thrown us into the greaten con lama. Our feeble garrifim, the Officers at lead, en deavour to pat the belt face on the news, but the ge neral opinion is, that the fettletnent will fall an eafy concrica to your force+, which we are daily baking for. A very violent Proclamation was ;Cued refpca. ing the Englim part of the inhabitant., which, haw. ever, was annulled by a facond in the courfe of a few days.—They kited, however, all the money, effeas, and merchandize of your Bail India Company, v. , the amount, I believe, of 50,000 L currency, which will help them a little, and but a little, to carry on the war. What they will do afterwards, G3ll only knows, for they have neither money nor credit. They are endeavouring to recruit the Hottentot regiments, bat the opinion is, that this nation would much ra ther fight againfi them than for them. All that the inhabitants dread is the arrival of a French fquadron with troops, which would complete the ruin of the colony. It is Paid indeed, that a (mall veffel, which failed the other day under fecret orders, was gone to the Ilk of France to elk; reinforcements; and one of the Gentlemen belonging to Government allured me, that they were in espeaation of moo men front the armament of Looms, who returned to the Mauritius in September left, having left feveral of the officers, their women, children, and light bag. gage on Shore; fo fearful was be of being captured by Admiral Raisins, whofe fquadron was then lying at no great Mance from Pondicherry. Should this be the cafe, we have to hope, that the force fent out from England may be effeitive, or our ruin is inevi table. You may be affuied of a warm reception here. from there -even who before affetted to hate the Eogfillh—We ate very bufy in fitting out pribateni to entire on thiL'Aquithts Bank Cur your rich India mess. which, however. I fancy, will have little to • apprehend from nor chunfey wooden bottomed Nips; but Laren, with his fitip of the line, four fine fri gates and kveral of a fmaller clefs, alt well manned and in high order, may do a great deal of mifchief. We hope, howrier, the/ (fpider.legged) flag, will be flying on our cattle before you receive this."
