The greatest a^ivity is used in putting our fleet iri a state
to go out to observe and fight the enemy.
ti. The American brig Holker, came into our road on
Friday last, with an English brig, which foe took off Tortola.
The little American squadron which Die failed with, having
appeared off that island, found that almost all the English ves
sels that were in that port, had had the good fortune to escape
and take refuge under the fort of the Danish island of St. John.
In the morning of the 19th, the grand fleet made their ap
pearance off our Road, under the convoy of the Couronne of
80 guns, commanded by M. de Mithon; the Magnifique of
,4, by M. de Macarty; the Dauphin Royal of 70, by M. de
Senneville, two frigates and a floopof war; they left Brest the
ijth of February. This fleet consisting of 60 fail, the greatest
part ofthem loaded on the king's account, could not get to
an anchor, cither in our Road or at Fort-Royal, 'till the 20th.
We know not at prrfent the exad number of troops that are
arrived. A considerable number of transports, bound to the
Faff-Indies, separated from them in a certain latitude, having
for their convoy four fail of the line. - .

'CHARLESTOWN, May ir.
YESTERDAY arrived here the Hoop , John Stir
rup, master, in fix days from New-Providence.
ExtraAs of three letters from New-Providence, dated May if,
3d, and stin'
May if. A letter of marque brigantine was brought in here
by the Fox, Bell; flic is from Baltimore, with 1039 barrels of
flour, and some bar iron for Havana. Beil has been out
3 7 days, and has sent in fix prizes Four hours ago the
Enter prize, Capt. Watkins feut in the schooner St. Joßph y las
Animas loaded at the Havana for Guarcco, with about 5000
dollars, feme indigo, peafe -and.rice. The Enterprise had
bought tooa brigantine, it is said, before the St. Joseph was
out of light of her ; if so, we may expert her in to-morrow ; the
Garland failed on -a civile yesterdays .
Our accounts from the Havana are, that an expedition failed
from thence against this place, on or about the loth ult. I have
just read two letters that incision it, 1 with it may not be so,
but if it is, we mutt do our best, and I hope we ilia!!; Ihould
thisaccount be true, they must appear in a few days.
Man. The ,ft inflant arrived here, in nine days from
Cape-Francois,' the prize sloop Prudent, and brings us the
newspapers from that place, with the melancholy account of
Fort St. Philip having capitulated on the 4th of February.—
The articles on which it was furrendcred are.honourable. ——
The Captain reports there has been a general engagement be
tween Sir George-Btydges Rodney and Count de Grade ; that
both fleets are much shattered ; that the latter has put into
some port, fuppofed.Porto Rico, and lent an express for the
Spaniards to.join them ; that they were becalmed, both fleets
for five days ; that he does not know who got the better, but
believes it was a drawn battle.
May stb. At BA. hl. arrived here a vcffcl from Jamaica.
With refped to news, we have none, they know noticing of
the engagement between Sir George Bridges Rodney and
Compte de Graffe, except from report.
Extract of a Let er from Nezv-Peovidenee, datedr Mey 5.
" l here is now off the bar a fine brig, .prize td a little
schooner privateer belonging to this place. She is from New
bern, and is laden with pork, flour, naval stores, &c.
" The prisoners on board of the prize mention, that they
lately fooke with a Spanish vessel, from which they were in
formed, that an armament was to fail before the prefi nt dav
from the Havana against this island. Ido not give much credit
to this intelligence; but I am fearful, from our great success
in privateering, they may be indued to pay-us awifit in the
course of the fummcr ; more Specially, as they have failed in
their intended expedition against Jamaica."
Capt. Stirrup, and other perf ais who are arrived in the
fioop, mention, that on the night of the sth cf this month,
the day they left New-Providence, they fell in with a fleet,from
which they immediately endeavoured to escape, thinking it to
be that they had heard was coming from the Havana; and
that on the m ornrng of the next day they distinguished 12 fail,
viz, a fliip of about 40 guns, another of 20, two armed brigs,
three galleys, and five flopps and schooners; all handing to
wards the bar of Nassau.
The fame persons fay, that the report brought by the vessel
from Jamaica, concerning the event of the engagement between
the British and French fleets, was, that nine fail of the latter
were taken, and fome'deftroyed.
