age.
Lord Sandwich and Lord Hillfborough a few days ago
laid a great variety of information before his Majefly,
relative to the naval preparations in France. It seems,
that Mouf. de Sartine has assured his Mafler, that be
w;ll have 50 fail of the line in the Channel early in May,
without taxing the crews from the transport ships, which
waslad year the reason why an inv. fion was impra&ic
a'o^. He has also promised a fleet for the Weft-Indies
much superior to any thing we can have there.

«' The French have erected 19 draw bridges over the
gullies in Martinico, in order to facilitate the more easy
transportation of troops and artillery to rv^ry part of the
Island in case of any future siege. These bridges are
most of them defended by batteries, and are removeable
at pbafure.”

Extract of a litter from Sr. Pierre, (Martinique) dated
April 7th, 1780.
£1 Several vessels have arrived here from Marfeilltf,
but lift fro * Malaga, from which last mentioned place
they bring anaccount oft e arrival of their Excellencies
Mir; Jay and Mons, Gerard at Cadiz, after a passage of
twenty five days from this plice. ~
“ They alfobring an account that several British ships
of the line and fiore (hips had arrived to the rehttef
Gibraltar, and had actually net only thrown considerable
fuctour into t^at fortress, but had had a severe action
wit' the Spanish fleet, with which it was invefled.
" By the examination of five American fcamen, who
lately made their efcipe from the ememy at St. Lucia,
and came to this place, we le^rn that Admiral Rodney
arrived at that Island the 24th ult from Ergland, but lad
from Barbados's, with five ships of the line and a frig te.
" After having accompani-d th- fleet defined for the
relief of Gibraltar, as 'ar as the Freights meuth,; and
that at the tiw;e of their leaving St Lucia, which was
the 28th ult the enemy had twenty-fee ships of the line
and three frigates at.that Island, befid,s a br^e body of
troops, and that a : l the troops,except two regimens, were
kept on board of transports, and not permitted to land,
ten which it appears as if they were mediating an at
tack upon one of the French iflauds, and it is. generally
thovy t that Grenada or St. Vincents ishheir object ; but
the &nma uh rin Chie of this Island, fu'pe&ihg that the
force collected at St Lucia was intended to aft agaitift
one of these places, embarked a few daysago, eight hun
dred men for the defence of Grenada, and fix hundred
for the defence o' S .Vic nts; and we have the pleasure
of informing you, that those troops have fafely arrived,
and thefr aesfn t convoyed toen are returned."
