-Charlestown, July 4.
ryUE following are the most authentick particulars of the
.intelligence, from the Welt-Indies, we have been able
to procure.
On Saturday evening the 28th of April, the British squa
dron; coulifling of eighteen fail of the line, were standing into
St. Lucia, in order to land their lick, when a frigate in the
oiling made a lignal for a strange fleet; the Rulfel being the
ftermnofl ffiip, repeated the signal; in a few minutes the
Barfleur aifwered it, and immediately hove out a signal for the
whole, Mett to tacki and Band to windward ; about fun set
they perceived 23 fail of the line and two fifty gun ships laying
too, and a number of frigates, transports and merchant ships,
amounting in all to near 200 fail, going into Port Royal, (Mar
tinique) close in with the land; a little after sunset a French
cutter bore down to reconnoitre, oar fleet, But was chaced
back again ; about 8 o'clock our van and part of the centre be
gan to engage the enemy, who Rudioufly drove to avoid a elofe
engagement; about 11 the firing ceased, the French being out
of gun foot ; at one o'clock Sunday morning, the British fleet
renewed the adion with the van and part of the centre, the
enemy still carefully avoiding a close engagement ;.at 4 o'clock
P: M. the firing ceased; the remainder of the day they conti
nued maneuvering ; the Russel had received 14 shot between
wind and water, and 6 feet water in in.her hold, when Admiral
Hood ordered her to Bear away for St. Euftatius, where ihe
arrived on the 3d of May.

Immediately on having the Ruffel,repaired. Admiral Rodney
failed from St. Euftatius, with the Sandwich, Triumph and
Russel, and arrived at St. Christopher's on the 6th. The Pan
ther of 64 guns had left that Illand some days before, to join
Admiral Hood.
Admiral Hood's fleet arrived at St. Christopher's pn the Bth.
The whole proceeded two days after to Antigua, under Sir
George Rodney; who receiving intelligence, by the. Pegasus
sloop, that the French had landed frlarge b^dy of forces on
St. Lucia, failed ou the 14th to its relief.. ,
On the very day that Admiral Rodney failed to~the relief
of St. Lucia, did the French abandon their enterprise. T^ey
had made some progress in conftruding a bomb battery, and
left behind them several mortars. Shells and ammunition of
various kinds.
During the thunder storm late Friday night, the privateer
sloop Lord North, lying in Rebellion Road, was Struck with
lightning, and funk in a Short time after; the peoples board
were fayed. .
As several accidents have lately happened to Dipping in this
harbour from lightning, we beg leave to request those of our
readers who have made electricity a particular object of their
Study, to favour us with their thoughts on the means that
may be used to prevent vessels being injured by it.
Extraff of a Letter from London, ;Ma, ad, 1781,.
" We are all clear here, Rebels and their abettors excepted,
that Rodney and Vaughan are perfectly right in confifcating
the goods, wares and merchandizes, specie, &c. found in
St. Euftatius—What fay your civilians?',
“ Poor Nic Frog lies gaping with his hands in his pockets,
not knowing what he is to lose next. It is certainly true, that
the Dutch have taken ho measures Whatever to -avert the evils
brought on them by their own avarice and perfidy. The arm
ed neutrality will afford them no relief; Denmark has already
in a treaty with our Court acknowledged navalfor,; to be con
traband. Russia, to whom Mynheer looked up for powerful,
Speedy and effectual aid, has told him that his present Situation
is not ^ cafufederis, and that her Imperial Majesty will Strictly
adhere to the treaty of armed neutrality, which only refpe&s
the Powe,rs not at open war.-—The two Imperial Courts be
fidhs offering their mediation, are about entering into an al
liance offenfive and defensive, to give weight to that mediation,
the object of which is a general peace ; nor will they hear of
a- partial-pacification, 10 that Hogan Mogan must Submit.
The General Congress is to assemble at Viennaj and Sir Joseph
Yorke, the 'Bfritim Plenipotentiary, only waifs the,return of a
courier from Pet'erfburgh to set out." ' ° : '
The fleet from St. Euftatius," consisting of 30 fail,'all of them
very richly laden, under convoy of the Vengeance of 74,
Mars a Dutch flag flrip of 64 gu^s, and the Men's (Dutch)
lycmene and Venus frigates, were all fafely arrived before
the packet left England.;
„On Sunday arrived here the brigantine Bella, Capt. Kea
ouick, ftom Antigua, and the ship Susannah, Capt. Stewart,
a/etterof marque, mounting 24 guns, in nine weeks from
Glafgoxy. °A few leagues off the bar, they saw four small pri
vateers, viz. a galley,^ Schooner, and two row - boats,
who made up so hear that they could distinguish the fbip to be
a„yeffel of force, when theyipade off with ail possible haste;
the brig they chafed till She got close in, when after exchanging
a few shot they put about. 3 A sloop from the Southward was
seen taken by them the.fame evening.
Capt. Keaquick failed from Antigua in company with, the
brig Maty & Anne, ; Capt Forrester, but parted from him the
r6ffi of last month, la& 27. 43, long. 720
