The Paris Paper: to the I eth, from which we this
lay resume our extrads, give a ridiculous account
of offers of Capitulation. alledged to have been made
Sy the Governors of Barbados., and Antigua to Ad-
miral Vi tteezuve, when he was in the %Vest In-
dies. The former is said to have proposed to give
to the French .Admiral 500,000 dollars and 120
Merchant Ships, besides releasing 800 French and
Spanish prisoners. It would be absurd to comment
upon such a foolish fabrication; but it is singular,
that the French Editors should insert a story which,
If true, would only make the conduit of Vitts-
neuvc appear more contemptible. His terror mast
have been great, indeed, if he dare not stop, even to
take so much money in his pocket.
There is a Letter in the French Papers, dated
Madrid, which. if it be carted, thews that there has
been an Adios in the blediterranean, between the
Spanish Fleet from Carthagesa and a British Scar
.ton, probably the one commanded by Sir R. Bice-
re row, in which the former were defeated. It states,
that information having been received by Signal. that
some English ships were on the Toad. Ad.

On seeing this movement, one English ship of tht

themselves in order of battle. The enemy tried se-

perform it. The Aims was most brisk, and the
