It will be fcen by the foregoing lift, that on the ar-
rival of Lord NELSON, our naval fore in the Well
Indies would be much fuperior to that of the enemy.

We are happy in being able to (late that letters
were yeflerday received at the Admiralty from Lord
/Nit limo, living, that he knew the deffination of the
enemy, and that he was (leering after them with every
fail that he could fet. He was behind them only
three weeks in point of time ; but confidering their
deviations, we apprehend that hit Lorcilhip was more
clofely on their track than may generally be fuppo&
ed. If the enemy Would proceed to Jamaica, there
is uo doubt but that his Lordthip will be there in time
to fipesistled their operations. The Britifh fleet will
then amount to twenty fail of the line ; a force not
only fufficient to check the efforts of the enemy, but
to convoy a part of his fleet, at lean, in fifety to an
Englith harbour I—Another fource of confolation is
foand in the ftatement, that the homeward•bound

Jamaica fleet, cotfilling of izo fail, had cleared the
le.:4lward Nage on the 17th of May, and was
therefore flllt of all reach of the holt& fquadrons.

The Op Barbadoes, Capt. Lswrs, arrived at Li-
verpool, failed from Barbadoes oh the lfith of May,
with difpateh•• Cut Government by her the follow.
mg intelligence has alto been received :
Extraa of a letter from Barbadoes, dated May as,
By a fchooner from Dominica, we are informed
that General. Pasvosr expelts another vifit. Gene-
ral Merman° is gone to his Government at Gre-
nada. Our force in thofa teas at prefent fit for fervice
are the STAATIATI, two frigates, and two {loops of
war. We are all ready to receive them here when they
cf me. My Ration is at Ormand's Battery where

The Eledion :ors new ATembii was not to come on Mao

'this is written on i 4-ponnJer. Rations, were
iffued yeaercliy for 25,000 Whites and fOcks.—
All the loaded (hips are moored in Carlifle Bay, the
Am of (hips and companies doing duty."
" Admiral COCHRAN& is Rill in purfuit. We have
heard nothing of him fince he left this, which is (even
weeks ago. I fear for our homeward bound fleets.
The veflels at St. Vincent's have gone to Grenada,
where they flow themfelves in the Carenage. Ours
and the tell of the iflands are in imminent danger, as
they bare threatened ,s with a vifit. Accounts have
been received from Martinique down to the sift, at
which time the French fleet remained there, and had
not commenced any operations. The Surinam (hips
have joined the (hips at Demerara, where the whole
are hauled clore in land. They have planted eighty
pieces of cannon at Ore mouth of the river, and at
the whok of our iflands every exertion is making for
, defence."

• The MIAMI !loop of war, with the fleet tinder
convoy, which failed from Cork on the a3d of March,
arrived in the offing of liingfton, Jamaica, on the

JAMAICA MAIL.

A Mail arrived this morning from Jamaica. Our
Letters are of the 14th May. At that time they had
received no certain accounts of the enemy's fleet. A
recaptured American (hip which arrived there on
the i Ith May, reported, that on the sth, to the
Northward of the Windward paffage, he faw the
French fleet, condßing of twelve fail. Fears were in
confequence entertained at Kingflon that they were
waiting for our convoy which failed from Port An.
tonio on the nth of April.

From fome fads Rated in the letters that have
reached us, we are inclined to think that Jamaica
will be indebted for a cnnfiderable portion of its feel:-
rity, to the alarm occafioned by the vifit lately paid
to thefe Iflatids by the Rochefort Squadron. One of
the letters fpeaking of the tueafures taken at that
time, Pays:

a's We had martial law, and during the time the
alarm lifted, were getting every thing in readiness to
receive the enemy, but since martial law has ceifed,
every thing has again gone to Beep. On the late
alartis, when the Rate of the works at Fort Royal
were examined, the greater part of the guns and car•
riages were found unfit for fervice, and there was
only one rammer and fpunge in the fort. Had the
French made en attack upon us in the Rate we then
were; they might have dallied into Port Royal. and
taken the town without mach trouble. Our forts
are Rill in a ruinous Rate, but thank Gov we have
now plenty of arms and ammunition, between five
and fix thoufand regulars, and about to,ooo militia.
Should the Toulon and Cadiz fleets now come here,
they will make little or no impreffion. They may
dearo; fome property, and caufe much alarm, but
it would require at !eat a force of 25,000 men, to
give them any chance of fuccefs. Were our forts in
a proper Rate of defence) we might defy any force
whatever."

The Msacuar, belonging to Sir JOHN Osiss's
knadron, arrived at Jamaica on the gth May, in 29
days from Sir Jolla ORM,
The Hamilton packet was to leave Jamaica for
England on the tab.

LISBON MAIL.

A Mail has attired from Lifbon. The letters by
this conveyance come down to the gth nit.
It is Rated in letters from Madrid, of the 28th of
May, that Mr. Mow sot, the American Ambaffador,
had quitted that city two days before, in confetinence
of the ntgotiation between the American and Spanifh
Governments relating to the confirthation of the eel:
fion of Louifiana, having been entirely broken off.
This unexpeled termination of the treaty pending
was fuppofed, from motives which are not explained,
to have been brought about at the inftigation of the
French Government. We believe there is little doubt
of the general feet, as the intelligence is Eohfirmed
by letters from Lifbon.
It does not appear that the blockade of Cadiz has
been refumed. Letters from that port, bf the 28th
May, (peak pofitively as to that point, and remark,
at the fame time, upon the inutility of fuch a tnea•
Pure, there not being a fingle (hip of war In that
harbour. This intelligence is not in unifots with the
pompous accounts inferted in molt of the Continental
papers, of the formidable preparations in the ports of
Spain, which mention that ten fail of the line were
in readincfs at Cadiz.

The letters from Gibraltar are to the aath of May.
They Rate that there was not the fmaltell profpc
of their being molelled by the Spaniards," and that
no apprehention whatever was entertained of the
refult of any attack the enemy could make upon that
garrifon.
The following Proclamation bad been lately iffued
PROCLAMATION.
