chip that .___ : Quebec convoy,
last night. l'he remainder of the convoy, ten sail,
have escaped, by flying in different direflions. Je-
rome was on his flight to France, having left hi.
squadron, by an especial order to him, in the Gulph
of Florida, bur which he had afterwards learned
had arrived or: the Banbs of Newfoundland.
The Captaini were on board Jeroroe's ship three
days; twee of the ships destroyed were bound to
this port, laden with 11111'41.. The transports with
6th regiment on board. which were comiag
. have all eitaped. Jerome, it is feared, hat,
arrived in Franco ; his ship sails badly, but the
has been fair for him to get in, and it was only
the ilith inst. the 'hailers left him. It is hoped
test of the squadron will not be so successful, the
of wi.ieh, and the crews, are in a wretched
s
condition. Jerome fired most tremeodnesly at the
esetvoy ; one of the Captains said, he had an hun-
dred shot fired at him ; hut Jerome behaved very
well to them and the prisoners which he had taken.
His ship sailed en badly, that she 'crush, not come
up veilli a iranspwt, one of the convoy, which had
a part of the 6th Regiment en board ; and the
Patriot, of 74 guns, another of the squadron, is so
)asky, that they do not expeß her to reach France.
Arrived a transport, with part of the 6th Regi-
run on board, one of the Quebec convoy that got

away.

been accustomed to, and the uncomfortableness of
their situ stion, in being ordered to mess with the
common men, on the dirty decks ; this was done
through the second Captain of the ship, and Jerome
requested him to wait by a little, avid he would give
him an answer. Soon after which they were ordered
