is, Captain Moutray, the following Eatt-
India-men from the Eaft-lndies, viz. the Earl
of Sandwich, Captain Deane; the Alfred,
Captain Williamson ; the Worcester, Captain
Cooke; the Prime, Captain Dundas; the
Hawke, Captain Cotton ; the Houghton, Capt.
Smith; the Ceres, Captain Newte; the True
Briton, Capt. Broadly ; the Resolution, Capt.
"-anting; and the Princess Royal, Captain
Kur..
All the above Indiamen were met in the
Channel by the Andromeda Frigate, who came
in with them to Spithead.
“ It must be acknowledged that it was happy
bevond Expression, that the gallant Admiral
Keppel fell in with the Brest Fleet, beat them,
Obliged them to quit the Sea and return to
Brest otherwise the whole of the East-India
Fleet' must inevitably from their Course have
fallen into their Hands; for it is scarce pro
bable that one of the foul heavy laden Ships
should have escaped such a number of clean
faft failing Ships as composed the Brest Squa
dron."
