Arrived the Rachel and Mary. On the 25th
July, in lat. 36. 2g. long. 63. about ten leagues to
the eastward ermuda, she was boarded by the
.ergo frigate, of 44 guns, Capt. Digby, with the
June fleet, numbering 85 sail, from this Island, un-
der her convoy—all well, with a fine fair wind.—
The Rachel and Mary touched; at Martinique On
the 20th tilt. at St. Vincent's on the 23d, and at
Montserrrat on the 29th. At the, latter place she
learnt that his Majesty's brig Doininicd; of t 4 guns,
Lieut. Welch, had-unfortunately upset near Tortola,
in a most• tremendous hurricane : the homeward,
bound Leeward Island'paeket, which was in corn-
pany with her, very narrowly escaped—she could
render the Dominica no assistance whatever, and it

is much feared that all ktr crew perished. A trad-
ing schooner was upset near Montserrat in Ahe-satne
hurricane, and ail hands were lust. There have been

several vr.t y -severe gales in that quitter.

The Mcselle.bri, of :18 guns, Capt. Boys, in five
days from Santo-Domingo, with his Excellency
Majot-General Carmichael on board, came to anchor
the same afternoon at.Port-Itoyal. On her coming
abfeast of Fort Charles, the General received a sa-
lute of 17 guns, whiCh the Moselle immediately re-
turned, and on. his quitting-the veSsel shortly after,
she saluted him with a similar discharge.

On Wednesday came on to be heard by Counsel
before George Kinghorn, James Inglis, John
Campbell, Joseph Barnes, and Edward Evans,
Esqrs. at the Quarter-Sessions, the petition of cer.-
lain Methodist Preachers, praying to be licensed to
preach in this city, agreeably to the Toleration: Aet,
when, after a long and patient hearing of Counsel on
both siqes, the Court unanimously refused the
•
prayer of their petition. The Counsel for the 'Peti-
tioners were. Messrs. Tonge and Drew, and against
them Mr. Whyte, Recorder. It is worthy of re-
mark that iu their petition they admitted the inde-
corous conduct of former preachers.
