By a letter jun received from our Military Corral=
pondent at Barbadoes, dated December 16, we learn,
that bothin that and in all the other Wands, they were
expeeting and in readinefs for another French fleet.
The Militia were nn duty, every place putting in a
Pate of defence, and all on the alert.

The intelligence was firft received by General
Bit ERITON, who commands at St. Lucia, and by him
it was fent round to all the other Wands. It was dated
November 26, and the fum of it was, that a irencla
force of three line of battle (hips, and nine frigates,
with sOOO troops on board, were daily expefteck--
This force bad been collefted at Rochelle, Rochefort,
and L'Orient, the whole under the command of Gs-
fiend itaGNIEII.

Every regiment in the Welt Indies has 101 l fo many
men, and are now lofing, that there are the molt
prang calls for fupplies in that quarter. The zd
battalions of every regiment, of which the in is in
the Well Indies, have received orders to fend out
every man and officer who is for general fervicet 200
men of the zd battalion t sth regiment, aiw now on
their march to Portfmouth, for immediate embarin-,
tion.

The at battalion, t sth regiment, are now very
healthy at Barbadoes, baying 101 l no men nor elms
for the laR two months. The Artillery have all along
been healthy in that 'Rand.
They Rill continue very tiekly at Grenada. Ott
'St. Vincent's the gosh regiment are dying in great
numbers, not lets than three or four daily. At Al.
tigua they are not better ; the 96th regiment has toit
fix Captains in the very fhort time they bare been
there. They are in eager expeßation of a new Corn 7
mander in Chief and a Staff io the Weft Indies, at
the prefect hineture.

Two Hamburgh Nails are now due. They are
looked for with fume anxiety, to throw lime light
(.11 the reports circulated refpaling an arrangement
between France and Pruffia for the exclufion of Bri.
tilh Comtperce from thole parts of Europe over
which their influence extends. A report of a direaly
oppofite nature was circulated yefierday ; namely,
that the Court of Berlin his declared itfclf the pro.
tenor of the h-cedcro of Co nmerce in all the northern
ports of Germany. We bare not the means of de
tiding which:of thefe reports is entitled to matt ere. •
dit, at the prefect moment; but we confider the firft
mentioned arrangement as it no very great diftance,
if not already decided on.

The tranfports from the Wefer, which paffed Scar-
borough a few days ago, under convoy of the Bo-
a ITTA (loop of war, have fine. arrived at Yarmouth.
The troops they brought are to be landed there.
The Lift divifion, which arrived at the latter placi
fome days before under convoy of the FURY hoop of
war, failed thence for the pawns yefterda/ evening.
In the preceding column we have given, from a
German Journal, an account of the battle of Runes.-
fits, which will be-found to differ in many point{
from the accounts received tlkoagh the medium of
the French Journals. The refuit, unhappily for Ets.
rope, cannot be affated by differences in the nano-
tiies of that important battle—,but'the develop.-
mem of truth is always deful, as it ferves to furnilh
beacons and landmarks for the government of future
Statefmen and Generals.

The Agincourt tranfport, arrived in the Shannon
from Tortola, parted from the fleet on the TO
January ; Captain SANDMILL reports, that many of
the fhips were very leaky, partieu'•arly the Sally, of
Liverpool. One had returned to Tortola, and the
Chrifliana, Love, parted from the fleet the ath of
December, after making fignals to the Commodore.
The Lord Middleton, from Jamaica, was taken
near Scilly by le C.urier de la Mancha privateer, of
16 guns and 88 men, and retaken by the Strenuous
gun brig, from which fhe parted on the night of the
6th, off the ifland of A-ne, near Guernfey. The
privateer had taken another Wel.lndiaman, and a
fhip prize to the Diana frigate.

Extraft of a letter, dated Dominica, Dec. 2 :--
s' Scarcely a day paffes, without an Foy, fh prize
being Cent into fume of the Danifls or Swedills Wands.
Fourteen privateers, ezclulive of thole already ui-
zing, from 14 to 18 guns each, are now fitting nut
at Guadalt,upe, four of whirls have failed to the wind-
ward of Barbadocs, for the purpofe of intercepting
the Cork fleet, one of which (the Gallant fchooner,
from Briltol) they have alreagy fent into Guadaloupe,
and a very valuable Guineaman has within thefe few
days been fent into St. Mart ti's

4. The °Neel of the French in fending out the eight
thottfand man daily expatcd, is to Itrengthen their
own winds in the &It initance, and with the re-
mainder, to take poliallon •if the Swedifh and Da.
nifh Hands. which will aff,ird tilt/71 the means of
annoying our trade, and particularly the homeward.
