JUN,: 21.
Captain Ray arrived here yesterday from Fal-
mouth, Jamaica. which he left on the '.27L11 of May.
Admiral Dacres had arrived at Jamaica, and had
taken his station at the Mouth of Port 120):11; in-
formation of the arrival of the Combined Flea had
been received, and excited much consternation.

Just 24.
We have nothing new by the ship which arrived
on Thursday from Guadaloupe, except that the
French passengers in her s:.re, that the Combined
Deets at Martinique remained in a state of inaCti-
vity ; and that the Frecch Government have sent
out this naval force without even tinging the Corn-
mander-in-Chief with the secret of their ultimate
destination. When they sailed from Toulon, their
circlets were to proceed to Ca.liz. On their arrival
at the latter, an inclosure was opened, containing
instruetions to proceed to Martinique, and so oil ;
so that the Commander of the squadron himself
does not know where he is going, after he leaves
Martinique, till he reaches the place to which be is
ordered.
Captain Brown, from St. Bartholomew's, left
there on the 7th of June, and states, that informa-
tion had been received at St. Bartholomew's, of a
second French fleet from Europe having arrived at
Martinique; and that the first objeCt of`
the United
Fleet would be the conquest of Antigua and Tri-
nidad.

Captain Thompson, who left St. Bartholomew's
on the Bth r,f June, confirms this news.

Arrived at the Lazaretto this morning, the bug
Lucy, Anderson, 23 days from Port France, Mar-
tinier).— May 28, was boarded off the Saints, by His
Britannic Majesty's frigate Spy, and informed by the
Officer, that she was the look-out ship of Lord Nel-
son's fLet ; that he left them in lat. 30. long 22.
on the Bth of May, bound to the %Vest Indies, in
search of the Combined French and Spanish Fleet,
from Cadiz. Captain Anderson having intormed
him, that he left them in Fort Royal, NIA) unique,
the Spy immediately crowded sail to windward to
meet the British Fleet.

A letter from Martinique, dated the 28th of May,
received at New York, states, that the embargo of
fourteen days was taken off the 27th, and that the
fleet had sailed. Another letter states, that the
Combined Fleets were intended to at against the
Islands of Jamaica and Trinidad—the former to be
attacked by the French, and the latter by the Spa-
niards.

BOSTON. JUNE 24.

Our latest accounts of the combined French and
Spanish fleet are to the 30th of May, at which time
it was lying at anchor in the harbour of Fort Royal,
-Martinique ; its destination was not fully known, hut
reported to be to windward. The Spanish were said to
be very sickly, and a considerable number of them on
shore. The embargo, wliirh was laid shortly after
the arrival of this fleet at Martinique, was taken off
the 28th May. This step was considered as indicat-
ing their immediate departure, but still the fleet re-
mained in port.
Further News from the West-Indies :—Captain
Tresfahen, arrived at the Quarantine Ground on Sa-
turday last, teem Basseterre, in 22 days, informs,
that on the 2',nli of May, two French 74 gun ships
arrived at Basseterre from Rochefort, who- sailed
from thence in company with five other ships ; and
that the two ships above-mentioned, sailed from
thence on the 2d June, to join the grand fleets at Tri-
nidad, where it was presumed they had gone. Capt.
Tte%fahen further informs, that the British packet
EArl of hiccabr was captured about sixty leagues to
the westward cf Barbadoes, by a French privateer,
and sent into Guadalupe.
From the above iutelligence, it appears, that a
reinforcement has arrived from France, for the pun
pose of joining the French and Spanish fleets: that
the period for comnruteing its contemplated opera-
tions against the Britich Colonies was about the Ist
of June : and that Trinidad was marked out as the
first object of their predatory speculation.
Other accounts from the West Indies, to the ';lst
of May, state, that from the disposition which had
been made by the combined squadron, it was pro-
bable they would dirsi their first operations not
only against Trinidad, but St. Kitt's and St. Vin-
cent's. No mention is ma& in the last accounts,
of their designing an attempt against Jamaica,
which is known to be well fortified, and would be
saliently defended. These accounts also confirm

\

•11.1 reprlrt, that the troops on board the Spanish fleet
vei,t in a sickly condition.
The French priv:iteer, which has been cruising for
.4 ha.,gth of time tiff Sandy Honk. continues still on
the same station, making daily prizes of the Ameri-
•:in,; the latest accounts mention, that a firing had
t) ea h:mrd in that quarter, which lasted upwards
h.tif .on IV nr. and it was hoped that the piratical
Frenchman had hero c +inured.

On Sunday last Captain Wheldun arrived at
Philadelphia from Basseterre, Guadeloupe, from
whence be sailed May 23, while a general embargo
prevailed, which had been on four days. On the
2ith of May, General Lauriston (Commander in
Chief of the troops in the Combined Fleet, at Mar-
tinique) came to Basseterre in a frigate, had a short
--.terence with the Captain General of Guadeloupe,
And immediately returned to Fort Royal, Marti.
nique. On the 24th great preparations were made
for the embarkation of mortars, artillery, bombs, &c.
to join the grand army at Martinique, which was
represented to consist of 18,000 men. The con-
quest of Trinidad was reported to be their first
oil ea .
A letter from Martinique, dated the 29th of May,
states that the embargo of 14 days was taken off on
the 27th, and that the fleet had sailed.
Another letter mentions that the fleet was intend-
ed to as against .Tamaica and Trinidad ; the former
to be attacked by the Freeneb, and the latter by the
Spaniards.

PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 17.
We have received the following letter from BaSSE•
terre, Guadaloupe, dated May 26, 1805 :
id On the 251 d inst. arrived at this port, from Mar-
unique, the French Imperial schooner Idifrre, of 6
guns, bringing information of the arrival at Fort
Royal, of a trench fie t, consisting of 12 sail of the
line, 6 frigates, and 4 sloops of war, under Admiral
Villeneuve, from Toulon, together with 6 Spanish
ships of the line, and several frigates, under Ad-
miral Gravina, forming altogether 18 sail of the
hue, 12 frigates, 4 sloops of war, and sundry
transports, having on board 18,000 troops, under
the orders of General Lauriston (a Creole of Pon-
dicherry), first Aid-de-Camp of his Imperial Ma-
jesty Napoleon. On the receipt of this information,
a general embargo was ordered. On the 24th, a
French frigate came to anchor at Basseterre, with
General Lauriston on board, for the purpose of
consulting with General Ernouf, the plan of ope-
rations against the British Islands. The General
remained there during that day, and, in the evening
departed with the frigates. The day following,
very gre.st aetivity was used in bringing down
mortars, bombs, shells, &c. &c. to the sea-side,
to be embarked on board the fleet. Two thousand
artillerists and engineers were to he taken from the
garrison of Basseterre, to be added to the force on
board the fleet, making in the whole 20,000 troops.
The first poi:a of attack was said to be Trinidad,
after which they would make a sweep of all the
Windward Islands. The Ate reported, that about
the time of their sailing from Toulon, the Brest fleet
had also orders to put to sea, and proceed immedi-
ately to Jamaica; and it was reported a few days
ago at St. Thomas's, thatiamaica was actually taken.

It is our painful duty to state, that the Leander,
and other fliitish cruisers, are aetively employed,
within view of our shores, in intercepting our home.
ward-bound merchantmen, and sending them to cer-
tain condemnation, fat out nefus, in the Court of
Halifax. There is but one source to which this
private distress and national degradation can be
traced—will Mr. Madison have the candour to name
it ? Or shall we spare his blushes by saying, that
they are solely imputable to the pusillanimous policy
of a time-serving cabinet, more occupied in contriv-
ing how they shall keep their otices, than in admi-
nistering them with dignity and firmness !

SIR,

JANI.4 /CA.

KINGSTON, JUNII 15,
CIRCULAR.
Rifles House, June 14.

The Commander in Chief, having 'smog fawns to expect
that the enemy will make an early and very serious attack upon
this island, front the accounts he has just received, from the
governor of Marbadoes, of the great increase of their forces at
Martinique, consisting then of Thirty-one Sail of the Line, mid
probably a proportionate number of troops ; His Excellency
directs me to acquaint you therewith, and to &hire that you
will make it public in the Parish of Kingston.
I am also desired to inform you, that the whole of the Mi-
litia are again ordcret upon permanent duty until fattier orders,
end that the Collectors and Comptroller of the Customs have
been direied to prevent even druggers and boats loon paiorrig
along the Mai( at present.
You will be pleoed to comnsunkate the contents of this
letter to the Officers commanriing the Corp. of Foot and
noise Militia in your Pariah, that they may act forthwith
theien,mn, iii the event of their not having feC2iVed Order/
through the General Officer of the Ohnict.

1 have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obertent humble servant,
J. TYRRELL, Sec.
The Cuttos or Chief Magistrate of Kinston.

On Tuesday a Meeting of the Magistrates and
other inhabitants of Port-Royal was held there, for
the purpose of considering of a proper place of se-
curity to which the females and children might be
removed. in the event of the eueray's (Atoning a

landing on the Island. After some deliberation it
was agreed, that, if it should h= neceksary, they are
to be conveyed to Port-Henderson in boats, &c. and
from thence to St. Thomas in the Vale, being the
spot fittest for their reception.
On Sunday last, eight or nine leagues to the east-
ward of Cape Maize, the Larh, which carried 6 guns
and 15 men, engaged and heat off a French priva-
teer. The tuilowing particulars are extraded from
her logbook :
SUNDA Y, JUNE 9.

" At five a.m. discovered a small slit bearing Erni., ua N %V.
with her larboard tacks on board, which proved to he Ail Ame-
rican trader. At twenty minutes past six, saw another sail to
the S.W. wearing every appearance of LI eneiny, by her crowd-
Mg sail, and bearing right down on us at eight SIM hauled her
wind, as I supposed in order to reconnoitre us and clear for
action ; at twenty minutes par eight she bore up and stood
for our weather spinner ; at nine she fired a gun and heisted
French c.ilours at her main peak, she then being about two
miles de.tance from us; from that period till half past nine she
kein edging down upon us under a preas of sad; twenty
minutes pa•t nine I hauled nn courses up and prepared for
hattle, the enemy keeping up a constant fire during the latter
period. Finding she intended to keep on my quarter, I ordered
the inaintepsail to the mast, and, before she was aware of
this inaiiceuvre, 1 got her cionpletely under the bearing of
my guns, at which period the action commenced with a
spirited and well-directed fire on both sides; and con-
tinued, with great warmth, for an hour and twenty-eight
minutes, when the wind falling light, and the enemy getting
closer to us, our langridge and grape began to tell upon her to
some purpose ; she immediately hauled close upon a wind,
and got ant seventeen sweeps of a side to pull clear of us,
which she effected under a galling fire from our guns Shd
proved to be a schooner of amazing length, with black sides,
and a dirty looking yellow streak in the middle of the black, a
lead coloured bottom, and carrying two very blackish looking
gaff topsails. Site mounted several gnus of different ealtbres,
but, in particular, two eighteen pounders, which threw idiot at
least half a mile to leeward of us. It was impossible to count
her men, they sto dt so thick and crowded on her decks ; she
had, at the lowest calculation, not less than one hundred
men."

The privateer, about an hour afterwards, took
possession of an American schooner, supposed to be
bound to this island.

His ExcelLney the Commander-in-Chief intends
inspeding the brigade of regular troops and militia
in Spanish-town, viz. 55th and 85th regiments, and
St. Catherine's regiment of militia, under Major-
General Me'Mont, on Monday next, the 17th inst.
at day-break, on the Race Course, near Spanish-
Town. And, on Wednesday the 19th inst. at day-
break, at Up-Park Camp, near this city, the brigade
of Regular Troops and Militia, viz. Ist ar.l 6th bat-
talions of the 60th regiment, under Major-eneral
I loraford, and Kingston regiment, under Major Ge-
neral Farmer; the line t) be commanded by Lieu-
tenant-General Carmichael.

In consequence of dire Rion from the Commander
in Chief, Committees ha►e been appointed in this
parish and that of St. Andrew, for the purpose of
taking the names and 'umbels of women and chil-
dren, with an account of such articles as would be
necessary to accompany them, and tke designation
of those places in the interior to which they coull
be con►eyed in case of emergency. Conceiving
that these instruetions were not attended to with
sufficient promptitude, his Excellenc► has reiterated
his orders, and required that they be immediately
obe►ed.
His Honour the Lieutenant-Go►ernor has been
pleased to appoint George Gaily, Esq. to be Cap-
tain of Fort-13alcarras, vice John Willie, Esq. re-
signt.d.
