Ir appears by the letters received from Jamaica by
the Mail of yeaerday, that Admiral DucKWORTH'S
riflory had removed every apprehenrion entertained
in that quarter, as no other French fquadron had ap-
peared, but that commanded by M. LEISSEGUESI
erronenully called LF SAGE and La Ssicts, in the
Gazette and other accounts.
The dcaination of the other fquadrons which ef-

taped from Breit at the tune time, with the cne de-
feated by Admiral Ducxwoarm, 11111 remains the
fubjeft of conjeaute, and it lima very furprifing,
that no accounts have yet been received of them.—
The account given by the French was, that is fail
fi the line, which failed from Drat, feparated, in a

certain latitude, into three (quadrant, on the 24. th of
December all. Of two of there fquadrons there is ,
up to this moment, no intelligence ; and it appears
certain that they have not gone to the Weft Indies.
A very brilliant exploit has been performed by the
boats of his Majeßy's Ship la FRAICH tin, which have
fuccreded in cutting out of Campeaehy, a remarka-
bly fine Spanifh man of war brig, of t 6 guns, and
95 men, although fupported by gun boats, a man of
war brig, with s3o men, and a fchnoner of eight
guns, which opened a tremendous fire upon them.—
Our gallant countrymen, employed in this affair,
were only fixty-four in number, and were commanded i
by Lieutenants Donaxas, Fxsartmo, and Matins.

The Plowden, Captain &divot, arrived in the River
on Sunday afternoon, from Cuxhaven, after an un-
commonly quick paffage. She failed from that port
at eleven o'clock on Friday night. In the courfe of
the day, Capt. SMITH had gone on board his Majefty's
(hip SYLPH, lying at Cuxhaven, to inquire if there
was any danger in his protrading his flay, as he had
heard it whifpered, that there was a probability of
Britifh (hips being detained. The Captain informed
him, he kpew of none; that the Commandant cf the
fort was dining on board of him, and had received no
orders to that effed. At the chili of the day, how-
ever, Captain SMITH received a communication from
the Captain of the SrLvir, informing him, that he
had better take his departure as foon as pofGble, as
he had received advices by a cutter of an intended
blockade; in confequence, the Plowden failed the
fame evening.
A fhip arrived in the River from Straltund is Paid
to bring an account of notice having been received
there of a PrufGan army being in full march to Swc-
difh Pomerania, but the occupancy of which, it is
fuppofed, would be anticipated by a Ruffian force.
