have ev r since sailed in company with the Dalive-

from the fleet at the same time ; this latter vessel
was a Spaniels prize, taken in the West Indies, and
put in commies:on there, to convoy the fleet home.
They have had a very indifferent passage, with light
winds all the way ; and further say, that if the re-
mailder of the fleet meet with the same kind of
weather, the cannot poss:hly he here in less than
tea days more. The; had not heard or seen any

The passedgers who have arrived hers by the
Cater West Indiaman, mentioned in the former pa; t
of my letter, are, Lieutenant Cloriel Mossum, of
the 4th Batt lion of the 60th Regiment of Footi;
Messrs. Edwartisi Mi:.:hell, and Blackbout,e, of
J-ena'ca ; and Inc female chili is the daughter of
the Attorney-Ger eral of the Island of Jamaica.—
They had a passage of nine we!ks, wanting one day,
and when they parted from 'he fleet, it consisted of
upwards et 160 sail, convoyed by a seventy-four, a
friga. .„ gitn-brig (Drbgenrsa), and a sloop of war,
the wa.de were in a perfect an i gPosi condition when
the Cesar and Diterearis parted company. The 4th
Battalton of the 60:h had been .:tatted into othet
tee; menet, and the staff belongirg to that hattalian
w.re on their way home on hoatd the fleet. The
remainder of that flue regiment remains at Jamaica.
When the Case, WV Jamaica, the whole Island was
under martial law, the troops in perk& health, and
the highest spirits, ready to meet the enemy should
they have the tc:nerity to attack them. Liovr-
ever, upon that head, they were not very appre-
hensive.
A fleet of very large transports, consisting of up-
wards of 50 sail, under convoy of the Jana fri;tate.
of 40 guns, arrived yesterday off this bark or, belore
a steady breeze from the S.W. This fleet of trans-
ports. I am given to understand. is destined for
Russia, to convey troops from St. Peteriburgh to
such places as the llusiian Government shall (fired.

The Cesar, one of the homeward-bound Jamaica
fleet, arrived on Sunday at Dnver. The Diligentia,
of $0 guns, which sailed with the fl.tet from Ja-
maica, arrived on Saturday at Plymouth ; and the
Margaret and Ann, another of the fleet, arrived at
Greenock, on Wednesday. The latter vessel parted
from the fleet upon the 13th last, on the Banks of
Newfoundland, in thick blowing weather. They
