THE,: S'quadron to which JERO:NiE nONAPAETE.iS at 7 •
tacled, it appears, made a very short stay at Martini,:

Thursday from Barbadoes, whence she sailed on :he
, .
Bth ult. brings intelligence that the .French Squadron
c.allecl from Martinique in tWo Divisions, of three Sail.
each; the first Division on the 30th of June, and the
other on the. Ist of July. • Admiral CocH.P..A.7e;
was Soon informed of the escape of the Enemy,
• •
and sailed in pursuit of them, with four Sail of the
tine. No other English Squadron had then arrived
in the West Indies. It was supposed that the
French hid shaped their course for the HaVannah.
r •
Then; can be nodoubt that, after being so long at
sea, they must be greatly in want of supplies of
every kind ; -and_from the' very short stay they made
at Martinique, it may be conjeaureg that they found '
it impossible to procure what they wanted at Mar-
tinique, and therefore sailed for the Havannah in
bouei of being there better supplied. It is, how-,
.e‘er, supposed by some,' that they would endeavour
to Make the best of their way homeward's. After
the w.perience we hive had of the condu& .of other
French Squadrons, it is certainly not at all improbable
that this aiSo, under the influence of panic, may en-
,
fleavourito reach its own ports with% having attempt-
ed. to car:y into effea any objea for which it might be
supposed to have Been sent 'out., If Admiral COCH-
..
.RANE should be fortunate enough to overtake them,
.there can be no doubt of the result. There are be-
sides, the- Squadrons of Sir J. B. WARREN and Sir
'RICHAR.I? STRACHAN, as well as other. Squadrons, on
the Ahr:fp look-out. Added to this, all the principal
1)-orts frrim Brest to Cadiz are closely watched by our

gallant Tars. The French Admiral and Prince
ROME must therefore be fortunate, indeed, if they
do not find their way into a 'British Port, altbou,4ll
we have_ no doubt they will try 'every manoeuvre to
escape that fear can suggc-st.

SINCE writing the above
,we have received the
Barbarities, llierctir7y of the Bth-ult. which, after an-
nouncing the escape of the Enemy; as above men.
tioned, states, that Admiral COCHRANE sailed on.
the 2d ult. in pursuit. 'of them, with the Northum-
. ,
L'erlavi d, Elephant, And Agfumemnon. •Three
.of the Enemy's Ships ofihe Line:were seen to the lee-
ward of Dominica on the 30th June, and the other
three and some' Frigates off the Diamond Rock on'
the Ist of July.--7• They were supposed, as above
stated,:to. be shaping their course for the Havannah,
where it was stated they were to be joined by two
'Spanish Ships of the 'l..ineand two Frigates. The divi-
sion under the immediatU command of the French
Admiral, bad On board six light -field-pieces, and
eight 42-pound carrotiacles, in addition to their com-
plement of metal. The other division wa's under the
command of JErtoistE BONAPARTE. Admiral COCII.-
RA-Ni.bad taken on board 350 chosen Troops, _from
the Garrison of St. Ann's: The Admiral had given
notice to the_ Merchants, and Shtp-owners, that in
• ,
consequence of not having sufficientiorce to send
with the trading Vessels, the June Convoy ww., to
wait and to be sent with the July.convoy.. •
The same .Paper ',states, that General MIRANDA
•
had arrived at Trinidad,
,and that, an Embargo had
been laid on in the Ports of that Island on his,arrival.

The General had been very successful in recruit-
ing his force, who were all in high spirits, and, to-
gether with their Commander, entertained the most
sanguine hopes of success.

TrIE preparations which- have been making' at
Boulogne, apparently for son le hostile purpose, have
induced some. of our Competitors to suppose, that
whatexer BONAPARTE may pretend, he is not sin-
cere, in his Neotiations.fer Peace with this Coun-.
try. As to his sincerity in those Negotiations,'
or in any other transa6tions, his cbara&er is too
well known to raise much confidence ; but as it is
evidently his interest to make peace, some reliance
may be placed in his efforts for that purpose. It would
be absurd indeed if he were not to be prepared for a
failure ofthe Negotiations; and the sincerity ofour own
AdMinistration might be equally distrusted upon the
same gxounds,as they omitnothing which may contri-
bute to supportthe honour, increase the strength, and
extend the triumphs of the Country. None, how-
ever, can.doubt that they are animated by an earnest
. .
desire to put an end to the miseries _of War, if
they
.can, according to the words of: the late
Speech froin theTbrone, meet "2a corresponding dis-
position on the.part of the Enemy," Besides;, rante
has a&ually laid the foundation of Peace with
sia; and it certainly- cannot be. less the- interest of,
BONAPARTE to be,upon good terms with Great
