nation.

Jums 24.—We have nothing new by the fhip
which arrived on Thurfday from Guadaloupe, except
that the French pallengers in her (late, that the
Combined Fleets at Martinique remained in a Rate
of inactivity ; and that the French Government have
fent out this naval force without even trufting the
Commander in Chief with the fecret of their ultimate
Whe.n they failed from Toulon, their
orders were to proceed to Cadiz. On their arrival
at the latter, an enclofure was %tired, containing
infiruaions to proceed to Martinique, and fir on :
that the Commander of the feptadron himfelf does
not know where he is going, alter he leaves Marti-
nique, till he reaches the place to which he is ordered.
Capt. BROWN, from St. Bartholomew's, left there
on 7th of June, and Oates, that information had
been received at St. Bartholomew's of a fccond
French fleet from Europe having arrived at Mar-1
tinique ; and that the first object of the united fleets
wetild be the conquefl of Antigua and Trinidad.
Capt. THOMPSON, Who left St. Bartholomew's nn
the Bth of June, confirms this news.
A letter from Martinique, dated the 28th of May,
received at New York, ftates, that the embargo of
fourteen days was taken (ff the 27th, and that the
fleet had failed. Another letter (fates, that the com-
bined fleets were intended to et againft the iflands
of Jamaica and Trinidad, the former to be attackect
by the French, and the latter by the Spaniards.
Arrived at the Lazaretto this morning the brig
Lucy, ANDERSON, twenty-three days from Pore

Saints by his Britannic Maielly's frigate Spy, and
informed by the officer, that fhe was the look-out fhip

30. long. 22. on the BEli of May, bound to the Welk
Indies, in fearch niche combined French and Spa-
tifh fleets, from Cadiz. Captain ANDERSON having
informed him that he left them in Fort Royal, Mar-
tinique, the Spy immediately crowded fail to wind-
ward, to meet the Britifh fleet.
BOSTON' JUNE 24.-0 M• lateft accounts el the Cott
bined French and Spanifh fleet are to the 3oth May,
at which time it was lying at anchor in the harbour
of Fort Royal, Martinique; its deaination was not
fulfy known, but reported to be to windward. The
Spanifh were faid to be very fickly, and a cenfider-
able nnmber of them on fhore. The embargo which
was laid fhortly after the arrival of this fleet at Mar-
tinique, was taken off on the 28th May. This ftep
was confidered as indicating their immediate depar-
ture, but 11111 the fleet remained in port.
Further news frnm the Well Indies :—Capt. TR ES-
PA Hgm arrived at the (tiarantine Ground Satur-
day laa, from Bafreterre, in tiventy-two days, Worms
that on the 29th of May two French 74-gun (hips
ar-
rived at Balreterre from Rochefort, who failed from
thence in company with five other (hips; and that
the twn fhips above-mentioned, failed from thence on
the 2d June to join the grand fleets at Trinidad,
where it was prefumed they had gone. Capt. TRES.
FAMEN further informs, that the Britifh packet Earl
of Leiceiter was captured about 6o leagues to the
weftward of Barbacloes, by a French privateer, and
fent into Guadaloupe.
From the above intelligence, it appears that a re•
enforcement has arrived from France, for the purpofe
of joining the French and .Spanifh fleets--that the pe-
riod for commencing its contemplated operations
againft the Britifh Colonies, was about the tft of
June , and that Trinidad was marked out as the firft
ohjed of their predatory fpeculation.
Other accounts from the Weft Indies, to the 3tft
of May, ftate, that from the difpolition which had
been made by the combined fquadron, it was proba-
ble they would direct their firit operations nut only.
againltTrinidad, but St. Kitt's and St. Vincent's. No
mention is made its the laft accounts, of their defign-
ing an attempt againfl Jamaica, which is known to
be well fortified, and would be gallaßtly defended.
Tilde accounts alio confirm the report, that the
troops OD board the Spanith Fleet were in a fickly
Condition.
The French privateer which has been cruiling for
a length of time off Sandy Hook, continues Rill on
the fame It.itiun, making daily prizes of the Ameri-
cans—the latea accounts mention, that a firing had
been heard in that quarter, which lifted upwards of
