From th ROYAL GAZETTE of JAMAICA.
Meffis. Douglas & Aikman,
Gentlemen,'
I HAVE observed that the French have adopted the measure
of fending out annually a very large squadron of ships of
war, with a great body of troops, pnd their whole trade to
their Weft-India Islands, early in the spring of the year.—
They go firft to Martinico; from thence the^diftribute the
troops they have brought amongst their different islands, Gre
nada, Dominica, Guadeloupe, &c. to supply the place of those
who have died, by the unhealthiness. of the climate, and of
the invalids whom they carry to Europe on their return : and
they colled their merchant ships from their different jflands
at Martinico. When the French commander has collided
the whole homeward bound trade at Martinico, about the
middle of July he fails with all the French Windward Island
commerce to Hifpaniola.—ln the mean time, at Cape Fran
cois, the trade of Hispaniola is assembled, waiting the arrival
of the squadron and fleet from the Windward Islands. Soon
after the French commander arrives at Cape-Francois: He fails
from thence about the middle of August for Old France, with
the whole French Weft-India convoy of immense value ; con lifting
of nearfx hundred merchant Jbips, under the protection of eigh
teen or twenty fail of the line. During the remaining part of
the year, and beginning of the next, the French Weft-India
islands are left solely to the protection of the troops placed in them,
and a Jew ships of war. The squadron returns in the spring,
and takes tne fame route.—This is the mode of conduct the
French pursued last year, and the preceeding one, to save their
commerce from our numerous cruizers; and it appears to be
a very wife and judicious measure. They are just arrived
at the Cape with a numerous fleet of merchant ships, and
25 or 28 fail of the line for their protection. We shall very
probably soon hear of their departure for Old France. I wish,
therefore, by the channel of the Royal Gazette, (which will
be sent, no doubt, in the Comet pacquet, soon to fail for
England) to give notice of this newly adopted measure of the
French nation, to the Lords of the Admiralty, and the whole
Matron, that the Grand Fleet, with an immense number of fri
gates, privateers, and cruizers of every denomination, may
be ready to intercept this vast and valuable fleet office hundred
merchant ships and 20 fail of the line, which will certainly fail
from Cape Francois, in Hispaniola, for Old France, about the
firft, or middle, of next month. The proper place for crui
sing to intercept this great fleet, I imagine, would be off Cape
Ortegal, in Spain, forming a vast chain of cruizers, with the
Grand Fleet in the center, from that Cape across the Bay to
the mouth of the Channel of England. But the French may
probably keep more to the Southward to gain Cadiz, as they
did last year; there to wait for a reinforcement to their con
voy, to conduct them to France. Our fleet and cruizers
should attend to this, by fending frigates to cruise forthem in
that direction, and bring them information of the enemy's
course. Were we so fortunate as to intercept this vast fleet of
flaps of war and merchantmen, on their parage to Old France,
we would at one blow reduce the French marine, and ruin
their commerce for some time. Such an aufpirious event would
enrich the nation, increase our navy, and" give lufre to our
arms before all Europe,—Such brilliants success, with much
more soon expected, would bring us triumphant out of the
present war. I therefore hope that the molt vigorous efforts
will be used at home, to intercept the vast French fleet, which
will fail from Cape Francois about the middle Of next month,
and may be expe&ed on the coasts of France or Spain, the lat
ter end of September, or early in October next.
