FRENCH SQUADRONS.

We flared yellerday, that accounts had been re.
ceived from Liverpool and Cork, of Admiral Duca-
WORTH having received information of a French (qua-
dron in the Weft Indies. According to the Cork

le'ter, the fquedron alluded to had arrived at La
Guayra, a port on the coaft of the Caracas, on the
Continent of South America.
We have thus a pretty carrell account of the def-
tination of the three divillons of the fleet which &op.
et, from Brea in December. One was completely
difpofedof by Sir Jona Duccwoarit off St. Domingo.
The fecond has failed for the Cape, or far India,
where Sir Howe POPHAM and Sir T. Taoweatncie
will, no doubt, give it a proper reception. The gal.
lant Ducsworru will, we troll, return a proper ac-
count of the remainder.

Sir ROBERT WlLE''', with the toth Dragoons and
all the Regiments of Infantry now at the Cape of
Good Hope, are immediately to proceed from thence
to India, where one affairs are in the moil perilous
Rate. A large force is likewife ordered to proceed
immediately from this country for India and the
Cape. Among others, the sorb Dragoons, Lord
Hotta's Regiment the 27th : General Limnos's the
35th, the 3oth, and the 82d, Infantry, are now em-
barking at Portfmonth.
Meafures have already been taken for the reduc-
tion of lbw Cavalry to that rate of eltablifiament,
which the demands of the fervice, and the peculiar
•
mature of the pofition of this country require.
The following is a Copy of the Circular Letter ad.
dread on this fubjea to the Colonels commanding
the feveral Regiments of Cavalry:

At the Cork Affixes, on Saturday the sth inn. Jo-
feph Kelly, Efq. Captain and Paymafier of the 32d re•
girnent of Font, was tried on a charge of having killed,
in a duel, Captain Harrifon of the fame regiment. It
appeared in evidence that the prifoner and the de.
eeafed had lived in habits of the moll cordial intima-
cy, and refided in the fame houfe. On the day pre-
ceding the duel they dined together, and drank ra-
ther more wine than was continent with the aria
rules of temperance. At night whey Captain Kelly
returned home a difpute stole between him and the
fervant of the deceafed, upon whom he at length in•
Sifted perfonal chaftifement : this eircumfiance he
fubfequently inetreaually endeavoured to explain to
the fatisfation of Captain Harrifon, who, conceiving
that he had been ftruck in a fcuflie which had enfned
between them, infifted on a meeting in the morning,
and refufed every apology offered by Captain Kelly.
The parties in confequence met, attended by their
feconds ; they fired at the fame inflant, and Captain
Harrifon fell, mortally wounded. The Jury returned
a verdia of Manflaughter in his own defence, which,
on being objeaed to b 7 the Judge, they changed into
a general verdia of—Not Guilty.
