The five regiments which were on board the ff,
and traafp^t; cf this fleet, are those of f wrain,
Elshita Walch, Royal Comtois and Puiton. They
arrived in %ond condition and great (pints. There
art bat few sick, and we expert the good order and
bexlthihrfs cf our hofyitals will lessen the number
cf such drily.
The 2:31 atd indefatigable attention of Count
de Guschin merits the thanks of the nation in ^e
r#l, and cf :.hi trade in particular. Hehepv the
fmileft vessel. of the fleet continually within hie
vaiv. and w^ may assert that the greaiah confidence
in him by the aade has been well juttrfyd. The
Cole a brig of Nantz, having feranga leak, and
be^n tewed feveial days, the Count directed the
cargo to be taken out and the vuffel to be burnt,
wb ch is the only lots the convey met with on the
p^tfrge.
S o^ the arrival of Count & Guichen's squadron
at Fur-Rrya?, th? .Marquis de Bouille has made iva
ry nectary dJp&firion for op,erasing without the
lots of a moment. The Captains cf the tranfporti
we^e ordered to hold themselves in coolant readi
nefc No precaution which could contribute to
the success of the entetyife was necked. The
-the Marquis de Boaille having embanked on
board the Robure, car fleet commanded by theCount
de Guchen amounting to 23 ships of rhe line be
fidss frigates, weighed, calmi having ptven<:d our
fleet from gaining the proper flation and by falling
to leeward they miffed intercepting 26 Engl sh iranf
portfy which got then into the harbour^ This re
infoicement of the Eiglifh it is thought makes them
6oco strong, who appear to have been intended for
an expedition againtt Grenada and St. Vincent.
Thus their great preparations with which they
threatened to conquer all before them are tender
ed uftleft, and they are blocked up at St. Lucy by
a superior fleet; and the disadvantage cf their fitua
tion are evident. Latt Tuesday out fleet returned
to Fort-Royal, to land the sick, &o. A bug from
Cork came to anchor at Grenada, fool (hiy relying
on the accounts published in the Englilh Minifleriai
Papers, that the British troops had retaken that
ifl<nd.
The forces which theMinithycf he marine has sent
to tie 'Bill ladies, are the regiments of Auftrafis,
15 detachments of volunteers, and one detachment
01 the legion cf Lanzan. The command is given
to Mons. Dichamin Brigadier. When they join
these already at the Ids of F.^cr, we fhril be able
to attack the EngLfli in their richest pofftffiooi.
