the Spanish captain, the convoy consists of 3 00 fail, protested

leagues from Cadiz, and, according to this report, the French

Extract of a tetter from Paris, March ic.
“ Three days ago a courier was dispatched to Toulon, with
a counter order to our troops in Mahon, who firft had been
recalled. Orders were also given to fend the warlike stores.
principally the Ihells, which, upon the surrender of Fort St
Philip, had been countermanded. These dispositions seem to
'"'.^^e that the Frtnch army will join the Spaniards before
tar r ', as , the ft< * e 111 form ° f that important fortrefs, is
finally refolded upon. The friends of Lieut. Gen. Don Martin
Alvarez, who commands the blockade, have exerted their in
terest in hj§ favour; but his Catholick Majesty has thought it
more advisable to appoint the Duc de Crillon to conduct
that important expedition. As his Excellency is'promoted to
the highert post in the army, that of Captain-General, and
that he ^ to have under him the Master of the Ordnance, and
another Lieutenant-General, both seniors in point of promo
t'?",. 0 '• Alvarez, the latter will have no reason to complain
of this arrangement.
T ! ie ofli cer who has planned the attack of Gibraltar is
a Monsieur d Arcon, Sub-brigadier of the French corps of
engineers. The Due de Crillon, who was well acquainted
wilu that gentleman s abilities, had called him to Spain, and
it was at his instigation that the General's firft intention had
been to go against Gibraltar in preference to Minorca. Mon
heur d Arcon, on his arrival in Cadiz, some time in August.
was much furpnfed to hear that he was to proceed to Minorca!
a place of which he had not the least knowledge ; he reauefted
leave to return to France, but was desired to stay at Cadiz in
order to bring to perfection his plan, by furveymg Gibral'ta?
