lARSEY, FF B. 2.6:,

-t near three this afternoon, the Sc-verts *Ship
of War, that lies in Granville Bay, sent a Dispatch
to the Commanding Officer, and one to her Captain,
the DuttE DE BOUILLON, who lives at La Baga-
-telle, -near St. Hihim, that 14. Sail of the Enemy's
Ships were in sight steering down Channel. The
-wind blowing'vepy strong, is quite fair for them, but
the Skier?: could not get out with it. 'An English
'Ship.of War appeared in sight to day : she was seen
' from the Heights near Granville : the Enemy's
Ships cannot be discerned from the-shore. All here
~.are on the alert, andprepared. The force of Gran.
Cole consists of the 83d Regiment, under Lieut.-
lonel BP:IRD, and about i3o of the Reserve, un-
uer Major tL.EMORT, but the barracks can contain.
i3c3ootnen. More Troops should be stationed there.
,
the Enemy intended to make an attack on this
Island, it is supposed here that Granville Bay would
.be the most likely place for such an attempt.
