Captain Elms, late of hisMajefty's Alp AMPHITRITE, ar-
rived Taft night with dlfpatcbcs from Rear-Admiral Duca-
WORTS, Commander in Chief of his Majaßy's (hips and
veffels at Barbadoes and the Leeward iffamls, to EVAN Ns -
scare, Efq. Secretary of the Admiralty, of which the follow-
ing are Copies:—
LEVIATHAN, at Sea, March 17, IBOZ.
SI a—Having confulted with Lieu, enant-General
TRIGG!, on the fubjeft of the orders of the Lords
Commiffmners of the Admiralty, we determined not
to viait for the cape/led reinforcements, but coiled
the troops that the General thought might be em-
ployed with difpatch ; and we railed on the 16th
with about Isoo troops, for the purpofe of attack-
ing the various Iflands Ipecified in our orders, the
General and myfelf confidering it molt judicidus
to commence with the weathermoft one, St. Bar-
tholomew, though by calms, and very variable
winds, we were prevented from getting to Gran.
Saline Bay (our intended place of landing) til
the morning of the aoth, when, having prepared
every thing for that purpofe, and placed Abe Am-
Demesne, l'Umars, and Deals brig to cover it,
the General and myfelf deemed it expedient to
prevent delay, by fending Brigadier-General Fut,
Lea, and Captain KING, cif the LEVIATHAN, with
a fummons, which, after fume little hefitation,
was accepted, and the capitulation I tranfmit en-
tered into. I then detached the ANDIOMSDA with
the ALIZASDtIA tender to affift in watching St.
Thomas's, when every exertion was ufed to land
a garrifon, and form fuch temporary arrangements
as the urgency of the fervice would admit; all of
which were effefted by the morning of the sad.—
We found here two Swedifh (hips nearly laden with
the produce of this country, a Dana fhip in bal.
laft, befides a variety of fmall craft, Swedifh, and
three fmall French vegeta ; and I left Captain
THOMAS krAIRVEY, in l'Usirs, to co-operate with
the Commandant of that Ifiand, and at ten o'clock
A. M. were in the aft of weighing, when ten fail
were fees from the mall-head ; I therefore order-
ed the Deals brig and l'Ectaut fehooner to re-
connoitre, keeping the wind, myfelf concluding
they were our troops from England, which the
General and myfelf had fent orders to Barbadoes
to follow us after landing their lick, with women
and children; this, from light airs, was not at-
certained till ten o'clock at night, when they proved
as conjeftured, and the Paosstves joined in the
afternoon of the 24th. Upon this accumulation
of force, the General and myfelf, after fome de-
liberation, judged it would be highly injurious to
his Majeftys fervice, and render St. Bartholomew
very unfafe, if we omitted attacking the Wand of
St. Martin. We therefore, (although it was not
mentioned in our inftruOions,) prompted by the
reflitude of our intentions, decided upon endea-
vouring to reduce it, and at midnight of the sad
bore swat for that pnrpofe ; but the unprecedent-
ed variabicoeli of the winds prevented our getting
