WEST INDIES.

The jnurnal of our Correlpondent In thc Writ In-
dies reached us a few days ago ; as there was little
interelling, we have laid no part of it before our
Readers earlier.

Though mnft of the regiments are leis fickly than
they were, yet a reinforcement is looked for to re-
place the regiments lately rent home. We are lorry
to Icatn, that the 9bth regiment at Bermuda has of
late fuffered much, The garrifon of Barbadoes is in
health and fpiri,s, particularly the tsth regiment.
Our letters are dated Balhadoes, 7th Auguft.
General HGDOSON haJ arrived lafely at Bermuda,
and ail-Limed the rule.

General BOYlit, the Commander in Chid, was jtat
about to let out on his long prujetled tour of all the
Wands, attended by the Chief Engineer, the Adju•
Cant and (Zi_sarter Matter General, his perfonal Sttillfs

General enatt,has been removed to St. Kitt's,
where he commands. General Huon as commands
at Snrinarn, and is at prefent Acting Governor, and
extremely popular.
The regret was general thrciughout the Weft In-
dies, that the brave Coenwe was not enabled to
attack isitosta and the French fleet ; but no man
was ever higher than Sir Axaximost Cocuitan a In
the opinion of all naval and military men. " If there
h any whifper againft him (lays our Correfpondent)
ig comes from Come difappointed contractor—he
looks fharply after thefe (harks, as he calls them."
BRISTISH AND FRENCH FLEETS.
We yeflerday laid before our Readers the Sub-
hence of a letter from Baltimore of the toth Augufl;
haling that the tiro fleets were then within a few
days fall of each other on the American coati, that
It was believed they were mutually acquainted with
each others lituation and force, and that the French
fleet was expelled to make an attack upon New-
foundland or to go into Bolton.
Could this intelligence be depended on, heal i
hopes might be entertained of Sir J. B. W4lllll fel-
ling in with the enemy. It is to be obferved, how-
ever, that this letter frem Baltimore does riot correc
pond perletly with the account given by the Captain
of the American flip Tippoo Seib, lately loft near
Liverpool, who Rated that he had met with the
French fleet upon the Loth of Augufl, in let. 33. 40.
long. 69 to. ; and on the s7th Auguft fell in with
Sir J. B. Wattle, in lat. 42. 16. long. 44. so. It
teems probable, however, that the French fleet has
continued on the American coal', or taken Come new
courhi as Tome accounts of them would have cer-
tainly been received before this tiMe, hid they pro-
eeeded for Europe.
HURRICANE ON THE COAST Or AMERICA:
taco! A C•AILZITON PPPPP DATID AMA/IT 13.
44 A tornadc, little interior to that of September,
1804, commenced yeflerday morning at two o'clock,

and continued the whale of the day—it has done lefs
damage, is yet, than the September gale, owing to
the wind being to the northward; and the (hipping
and wharfs flickered from its effells by the houtes in
the city. We have not &aid of any damage fol
tained it: the town, except a fevi fCnets being blown
down, and fame trees torn up by the roots. We
cannot give as favourable an account of the harbour :
the !hips Halcyon, Captain M►NLY, Mid Hope, Cap.
lain HUNT, are on fhore at James's Hand, and it is
• feared will both he bilged. The fbip Active, at qua-
rantine, is on (bore at Port Reef, and likely to meet
the fame fate ; many other veffels are as critically
fituated, and inevitably will be injured, Ihould the
wind (hilt unfavourably."
—.—
We have to remark, that the 22d Auguft was the
very day on which the Jamaica fleet was difperfed,
and that on the 19th Sir RICHARD STRACHAN'S (hips,
met with, damage. We cannot, therefore, doubt,
that the hurricane began in the Leeward Iflands,
whence it travelled to the American coaft. In its
pafrage it may have fallen in with both Sir I. B.
Waisew's and the French fleet, both of which were
probably at that time on the coaft. We arc appre-
benfive that we !hall yet receive diftrefling accounts
I from the Weft Indies.

Yellerday a Cabinet Council was, held at Lnrd
Howick's Office, which fat from two till halt pail
