According to letters from Frankfort, be Freocb
troops continue to march from Hanover to the inte-
rior of France; and an unufual degree of aBivity
is obfervable in eiery direction. The report of the
Capture of a number of our veffels in the Eaßern
Seas; including ten Indiamen, is revived, in a pre-
tended letter from Cadiz, inferted in the Mathew;
but we repriat, that this rumour, as far at haft as it
relates io;our Indiansen, is not entitled to the flightet
degree of credit. The fame letter alto contains Come
ftatemenfa of the progrefs of the war in-India, which,
by late; accounu; welnow to be totally unfounded.

The Oporto fleet, condifting of about 4.0 merchant

may therefore be expected daily.

" Lord NE Lsov was not a little elated to find he
hid taken the right road, in confequence of the in-
tim:lane-ill ot the enemy's having reached Martinico
(where they had remained a fortnight, being fickly),
and had juR proceeded, as we fuppored, to attack Tri-
nidad, with t 8 fail of the line, viz. t 2 French and fix
Spanifh, eight large frigates, and four corvettes, in-
cluding the Cayenne (loop of war the only capture
they had made. We found the NORTHUMBECLAND,
Rear Admiral Cot a/Jr 1, and SPARTIATE of 74 guns,
at Barbadoes, with three or four sloops. That Admi-
ral had jut returned from Jamaica, where he had
Seen in purfuit of the Rochefort fquadron. Admiral
Decazs detained the ret of Admiral COCHRANZ'S
fquadron at Jamaica, for the protection of that
ifland. Lieut. General Sir WILLIAM Watts having
fiery handfomely offered his fervice with aOOO troops,
for the relief of any ifland the enemy might hate
attacked, it appeared of fuch confequence, that
Lord NELSON anchored the fleet twelve hours, foe
the purptle of embarking them in the line of battle
(hips, and the whole of the fleet failed early on the
sth of June. We reached Tobago en the following
day, where, a fchooner made a fignal previoufly
eflablifhed by Admiral Cocuaame, for the enemy
being at Trinidad ; every preparation w4as accord.
ingly made for attacking them at anchor, and the
greateft anxiety prevailed throughout the fleet during
tae run (torn Trinidad ; Os was in a great meafore
heightened when we made that Island, by obfcrving
two or three polls let on fire and dellroyed, as we
were kering towards the Gnlph of Paria. Judge
of oar difappoiatment at finding they had no inlet-
rgence of the enemy, and that the ont•po(ls were
deftroyed in confequence of their fuppofing our fleet
to be the Combined squadron.
" It appears that the enemy reached Fort Royal
about the 14th ultimo ; obferved and fired on by the
Diamond Rock, on which Commodore Hovel bad
planted feveral guns, under the command of Captain
Moat is, a Commander in the Navy, with 90 men.
.-Two line of battle (hips, two frigates, and fome
fchuoners were ordered to attack the Rock, and
having anchored dole tiff it, a molt furious cannon•
:ding commenced: onr people were loon driven from
the lower battery of five guns, nearly level with the
water, but retreating to two guns in the upper
part of the Rock, they fuftained the attack gallantly
for three days, during which time eight hundred
of the enemy were deltroyed in landing at the foot
of the rock, with fcaling ladders, &c. to diflodge our
people ; bat fuch was the advantageous pofition
Captain bloat:is occupied, being a Reep and al•
molt inacceffible rock, that no force could have ob-
liged our men to fin-render. But unfortunately their
lupply cf powder and water was intercepted I and
they mere at length reduced to half a pint of water a
day, and, their ammunition expended, they wets un-
der the neceffity of capitulating, and were fent di.
set, in a fchooner, to Barbadoes. The enemy had
15c:omen on the Rock, when Captain Monts left it,
and they were dettroying the works,.and meant to
evacuate it ; our lots on the rock amounted to but
four killed. We paired Grenada and Montferrat
dole, and finding things fate, have jut reached this
harbour, where the General and his troops will pro-
bably be re-landed."

On Wednefday, at one o'clock, a Cabinet Council
was held at Lord MULGILAVE'S Office, which was
attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of
MONTROSE, Earl WIbTMORIELAND, Lords Hams-
BURY and HARROWEY.

At half pall two the Council adjourned to meet his
