A ship is arrived at Malaga from Marti

every thing was in good condition; and five
ifhips of the line, well armed and equipped,
waited only for a reinforcement from Europe,
in order to put to sea. Admiral Rodney ap

Lisbon, May 15. We are well assured, that
since the declaration of the prefect war, the
belligerent powers have consented, that the
Portuguese merchants may purchase merchant
ships for their trade, without such vessels being
considered as enemy's property, provided they
be furnished with certificates, attested on oath
that the ships and cargoes do not belong to
any of the nations at war.

" Tie-General represented, that finding
the place very flro,pg,,ond defended, by 3 nu
me^us garrison, under the command f V7ffa
jee Punt, he determined to carry n niso efa
tions with regularity and precatr.cn. 0 the

we haVe the pleasure to acquaint ,ou that af

which obliged the General to renew the site
from the batteries, the place surrendered he
next day at difereti n, the garrison marcred
out and laid down their arms in front of toe
fort, being only allowed to carry away their
their own private effefts. We beg leave to
congratulate you most c rdially on this impor

the fatisfaftion we fe 1 on the occasion, is the
very Imall less fuftaim:. the siege: O e of
ficer only, Lieutenant S.i fames j bn ' G rdon,
having been wounded, who is fi ^dead, and
about twelve men killed and wounub among
whom four only were Europeans.
" A considerable quantity of ammunition
was found in the fort, with 220 pieces of
cannon, and 10 brass mortars, of which 19
pieces of biafs cannon, feveeal of very la ge
calibre, 128 pieces of iron ordnance, and all
the mortars, have been reported fetvicct kle.
" It is not material to give a detail bv this
conveyance of the operations of the detach

which, upon the whole, we doubt not, facili
tated the fiiccefs of the siege, which was car
ried on without interruption, whiltt Colonel
Hartley took up the attention of a large body
of the enemy, sent We apprehend, to attempt
the re ief, with which he was successively en
gaged for the three days preceding the fall of
the place ; immediately after which General
Goddard moved to his lup ort; but„two°days
before he joined, the enemy had retired to a
