MATIRII3, DEC. 19.—The Minitlers of the Marine
and War are employed with unexampled tativity.—
They mean to carry on ,the war with all the vigour
pnflible. According to an order of Government, there
will be taken from all the regiments of Spanifh in-
fantry, a company of grenadiers, in order to form
feparate battalions of grenadiers, to be employed in
the moll dangerous enterprizes. Inflruaions en this
Cubic& have already been fent to the Commandants of
all the regiments. Several of thefe battalions wilt be
formed in this capital : it is believed that immediately
after their organifatinn they will march for the camp
of Saint Roch. Different regiments of militia will
4110 be collated to join the army of the line. At the
fame time there will be a general recruiting, to com-
plete, as far as poflible, the national regiments, which
for the molt put, are far from having the number
requited; even in the time of peace, by the royal or•
•linances.

It is announced that the Prince of Peace, in his
quality of Captain-General of all the Land and Naval
Forces, will vitit the principal ports, and review the
troops deflined for the Camp of Saint-Roch. All
thefe difpofitions ferve to prove what vigour the Go-

to carry it on with energey, feveral Admirals, Vice-
Admirals, and Commodores, as well as a great num-
ber of naval officers of all ranks have been called

few days that Admiral Ns Lsoia, who commands the
Enghilt fquadron in the Mediterranean, had made
an attack by fea on the fortrefsuf Port Mahon, while
a body of land forces ware landed to fecund this ope-

guns, carried into Gibraltar a SpaAill► wird from

mine, and it is in this deplorable (late that the Eng-

In moll parts where the epidemy has prevailed,
the following eifervationshave been made : it was lets
fatal to females than to males, and it appears that it
had no influence on old women, for they continually
aflitled the lick without being attacked by it. Petfons
of a delicate constitution were alfo lefs fubjea to its
fatal effeas than thofe of a robuft conllitution. in
regard to the negroes it feared), produced any effed
on them.
