THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, SATURDAY, F[aRU•RY S. The Snapper schooner, Lieutenant Cusswors commander, arrived on Wednesday morning at Filtnoutk, from the West Indies, with dispatches from Rear-Admiral COCHRANE ; it is said they con tain an account of the actual arrival of a French squadron in the West Indies. A Leeward Island Mail arrived yesterday, in 53 days from Tortola. It is satisfatlisry to find, from letters, of which the following are extraas, that if a French squadron has visited the West Indies, it will find a British squadron prepared to receive it. Extra& of a letter from Antigua, dated Dec. 12. 1505,—" His MAJESTY'S ship Nimrod arrived here on the 10th, dispatched by Admiral COCHRANE to the different islands, requiring all His MAJESTY'S ships to juin him immediately to windward of Mar tinique, be having intelligence of a French squa dron being expedled in these seas."

" The Alias, 74, and several frigates, will join the Admir=al, and we have every hope he may thaw them the way to aarbadoes against thy:: will. " The enemy's privateers continue cruizing to windward of this Island, in spite of our men of war, who go out, get about 300 to 350 miles to %rind ward, cruise about ten days, and then return to port.
