On the 19th of the fame month Admiral Rodney arrived at
Barbadoes with eleven ships of the line : He proceeded the
next day to leeward, in order to form a junction with Sir Sa
muel Hood. Five days after. Sir James Wallace in the War
rior of 74 guns, from England, which he had left after Sir
George Rodney; and the Santa Amonica frigate, Capt. Lind
zee, from this port, arrived at the fame island.
The crop in Barbadoes is said to have been extremely good,
and much fnperior to what it has been for many years nall.
The Fame about eight days ago, fell in with a Spanish trans
port from Cuba to Hispaniola, having on board betides her
crew (which confided of fourteen feamen)fi) cofficers, feventy
two privates, a quantity of gun powder, some brass field
pieces, &c. Another transport was in company when the was
taken, but was not pursued, as the Fame had riot hands fuf
ficient to man both. They had failed with a number of others
under convoy of seven ships of war, all bound to Hispaniola,
but had parted with the fleet in the Gulph of Florida. The
Fame mounts eight guns, and carries 24 men.
The Fame Operated from her prize, two days before die ar
rived here, and it was apprehended she was taken by a Rebel
Privateer, which was lately chafed off the coast by the Charlef
town frigate; but these fears have been dissipated by her
coming to-dav fafelv into this harbour.
CHARLESTOWN, March 23.
VESTERDAY arrived here the polacre Fame, Capt Mor-
I gam, from Barbadoes, which place she left the firft of
this month.„
No news-papers have been received by the above-mentioned
veffd; but a gentleman who came pass nger in her, has been
kind enough to inform us of the following circumft inces, in
addition to those we have already mentioned in our paper of the
x6th inst. reforming the Rate of our affairs in the Weft-Indies.
General Prefcot who commanded! the British forces in the
ifand of Antigua, on hearing that St. Christopher's had been
attacked, but being probably unacquainted with the real
Strength of the enemy, embarked fix hundred men, and pro
ceeded t< the latter island with the view of attempting either
to relieve it, or to retard the operations of the French army.
He landed his troops, and was soon after attacked by 1200
of the enemy. These he repulsed with the loss on their tide
of 100 men. Ofhis own detachment eighty private soldiers and
ft;vcral officers were killed and wounded; among the killed
was a Capt. Profs of the 69th regiment, and among the wound
cd a Lieutenant Cunningham of the fame corps. A consider
able part of the French army, said to be in number 5000 men,
on this marched to attack him, and General Prefcot finding
jt impossible to accomplish his purpose, reimbafked his troops
without further loss, and went back te Antigua.
The manner in which Sir Samuel Hood got possession of
Baffaterre Road is regarded in the Weft-Indies as a strong ad
ditional proof of the high abilities of that great sea officer.
His fleet was inferior to thatof De Graffe by five or fix ships of
the line. In coming down to relieve the island of St. Chrifto
uher's, he sent eleven of his vessels ahead round the island of
Nevis, whilst he himfelf with the remainder lay concealed un
der a point of land. The French Admiral on feeing so small a
number oflhips appear in fight, immediately flipped his cables,
and left his advantageous situation in BafTaterre Road with the
expectation of -king or destroying the whole of them. Sir
Samuel Hood seized this opportunity, and whilst the French
fleet were occupied in attending to bis headmoft vessels, he
came round the island of Nevis with the rest, and anchored
in Baffetene Road. He wab soon followed by his other veffcls.
The Marquis de Bouille, it is laid, was highly enraged at
the rashness and imprudence of Count de Grafl'e, in leaving
his Ration, and thereby exposing the whole army on shore to
the danger of capture, had Sir Samuel Hood been able to
have landed a fufficient number of troops.
On the 17th of last month the Prothee flrip of war, of
64 guns, arrived at Barbadoes with the intelligence of Admi
ral Rodney being on his passage to the Weft-Indies. She
brought in along with hertwo ftont Rebel privateers belong
ing to New-England, Which she had taken a little to the wind
ward of Barbadoes.
A 1,1, persons in Charleftown, who are inclined to take out
licence to follow the trade or occupation of a Butcher in the
Upper or Beef-Market in this town, for the ensuing year, are desired
to meet the Commissioners on Monday the iff of April next, at the
house of Mr. James Strickland, from the hours of ten to two
o'clock on the fdd day, as no person whatever will be allowed to
carry on the said occupation aher that day, without a new licence.

MR. BENJAMIN DIDIER left England in the year 1773,
and came to Charleftown, where he affunied the name of Wil-'
son, and was employed some time in writing for a Mr. Calcott, an
English gentleman in the fofticiary department. The said Wilson
was also acquainted with a feafaring wan of the name of Dart of
Devonshire in England.
