Several accounts have mentioned the
arrival of a French and Spanish squadron
ffrom Brest, in the West-India latitudes.
& Corroborative of the southern art-icles on
the subject, we have before us a letter from
the Havanna, dated the r7th of October
last, which says, " Yesterday an express
arrived, bringing the news of the capture
of .Trinidad, by the French and Spanish
squadro'n, confiding of 17 srigates; from
whence, it is reported, they will proceed
to Jamaica." The source from whence
the above is derived is respectable ; but
we are at a loss to account for the arrival
of so strong a ﬂeet, which, it is said, has
a large army on board, without having
been spoken with; or why, is ]amarca
was the object of the expedition, it should
be protracted by the capture of so compa
ratrvely an insignisrcant object as Trini
dad'. The same report was current at
New-York three weeks since.

Of the electors." [Americam]
No conclusion savorable to the election
os Mr. jeﬀerson can be drawn from the
si above, supposingit to be accurate. The'sisisi
senate of 8. Carolina, composed almost
entirely of Federaliils , consists of 37 mem
bers, and the house of representatives,
when all met, amount to 1 24. ; so that
although the friends of Mr. ]. may have
been very indufirious, in making a quo
turn and choosing a speaker, yet when the
election of President and Vice-President
came on 4 days afterwards, matters may
, have worn & diﬀerent aspect, and from the
