haying left Coro 'a TelXidays after my, depArture for

suit from retaining that position with so small
force; indeed the Eneiny had be2ialY'tbarinoy thetp,
from the neighbouring and the rainy season
coming on made it very unsafe for the shipping.

The English Ministers have now turned theirs
attention to this ewerprize, and. have given some
orders on the subject. Should war continue, .vri.
expea a considetable body. of troops-Tfcr the pre-
sent we go to windward to await the event. This
