all communication with this garrison in the most ri-
gid manner by land, but we have frequent commu-
nication with-Spain by, sea in spite of all their pie-
cautions. All our intelligence from Spain mentions
the siege of this place being determined upon, and
that a large French army is on its march for: that
purpose. The-Spaniards have, however, made 'no
preparations in this neighbourhood that indicate
hostility.-
On the 13th the Niger Frigate arrived from Malta.

upset in, an open boat, by carrying a press of sail, in
endeavouring to reach their called the Mary,
