Philadelphia, Nov. 3.
The very greit joy which,the people of this city felt
on the arrival of the glorious news of the capture of lord
Cornwallis and his whole force, immediately diffufed it
ftlf through all parts of tne country. Particularly, a
number of the most refpe&able inhabitants of Plumftead
township, assembled at the house of capt. Wm. M' Jal
la, on the 22 r i ult. to congratulate each other, and cele
bate this mod important event, which we may justly fay
is big wi h the fate of Britain, and a certain prelude to
the cruth of its power in America. After Shewing the
most undiffembled fatisfadion at the important fuccefs
©f the combined arms, the company partook of a gen
teel collation, provided for the purpose, which was
followed by the undermentioned toasts:
General Washington and the allied army,
Count Rochambeau,
Count de Graffe and the navy of France,
May the independence of America be firmly effa
blifhed, commerce flourilh, and Britiffi influence
totally excluded from our country.
Captain M'Calla's house was beautifully illuminat
ed, a large bonfire was made before the door, which,
added to the gladdened hearts of the company, contri
buted to make a most agreeable evening, and was
concluded with great order and decorum.
C A R E N A G E, (St. Lucia,) Ang. 4. 1781.
The beginning of this week a fleet, said to consist of
about 60 fail, with 4 or 6 fail of the line, went into
Martinico
The high wind on Monday morning, we are sorry to
learn, did coofiderable damage to the ground provisi
ons, &c. in different parts of this island, particularly
the bearing plantain trees, which are in many places
entirely thrown down. We are afraid its bad effects
have not been confined to this island only.
August 11. The fleet mentioned in our last to have
gone into Martinico, was from Marseilles, and under
convoy only of two frigatesand a sloop of war. The
report of its being convoyed by line of battle fllips
arose, we presume, from some large Spanish armed ships,
which made a part of the fleet.
St John's (ANTIGUA,) August 28, 1781.

BASSETERRE, August 14.
His m ijefry's frigate Triton capt. M'Laurin, a few
days ago, in her way to Antigua, as file was tacking
near Redondo, perceived a man on the rock waving
and making a signal with his shirt. Captain M'Laurin
sent his bort for him and brought him on borad the
frigate; he said he wasa Dutchman, and was on board
a French sloop from Martinico, which flruck on tne
rock-in the right fifteen days before: the rest of the
crew were Frenc men and all peridied ; he lived on
sea fowl, with which this rock abounds, his drink was
the blood of those fowls ; during the time he remained
®o that place, he saw feverri ve"els, but at too great a
distance to be taken notice of ; his gratitude is so great
that he refufes to quit the fllip.
