Colonel Bmtaow who know gone out ,to take
the command of the British Settlement at Honduras,
is tile same Officer who, in the year 1798, with
Car. Moss, .of the Navy, since, dead, repelled a
very formidable attack of the Spaniards under Gen.
O'NFts.,, consisting of a. numerous land force, and a
flotilla of boats. But this armament was compelled
to retreat with considerable loss. In consequence
of this success,' the Btitish Boundaries were consi-
derably extended ; their extension indeed was per.
fettly necessary, fur we had so cleared the.country
in our possession of log-Wood, that any more which
we wanted to pnieure was
,got at so great an ex.
pence,,ap account of its distance from the coast,
that. it enhanced its cost -silmost beyond what it

Under the. Ministry of Sir 'Re, Rs. War.rot,e,
.4pd of—the Earl of CsA.iHIM, thc bay of finnanras

vantages with which it ,applied ()Ur 'Trade. Until
17153, we were ebtisiderecl and treated by .Spain as
ets,roachera and u:,urpere, and it W 39 only by our
trect!,ses in the War which led to the Treaty of
that year, that we 'were enabled to exact from the
Cabinet of Madrid, its explicit conaent to allow
these the existence of a British Settlement. For
twenty ylws afterwards, we continued in the
j( frleilt of the concession, which was folly con.
'fi?ined by the Definitive Treaty of 1783 ; and in
178.6 another Convention, both extended the limits •
• cat tie Settlement, and gave to us the right I
rutting, .not, only logwond, :hut mahogany, and
other kinds of wood. VVe were even privileged
to carry away the produce of the,country, lubjeft,
however, to particular oiccptions, and, tinder an
