LEEWARD ISLAND MAIL.

Yerterday we mentioned the arrival at Falmtiuth
ofhis •Majefly's packet Carteret, Cautain Patrea-
SON, *ith a Leeward Bland Mail, 32 days from Tot,
tola. We are concerned to hear, that Sir Wieciast
MYERS, the Commander in Chief, tlied at Barbadoes
on the 29th of July. The commatid, in confequence,
devolves on General BECKWITH, the GoVernor of St.
Vincent. The feafon had been uncommonly hot,
and two (hocks of an earthquake, one of them rather
alarming, had been felt ?ts the illand of Antigua, at
the commencement of A tigutt. The Carteret carried
out the 21 June Mail, and arrived at Berbadnes on
the .20th of July. In Carlifleßay were his Majefly's
Zips NORTHUMBERLAND, Rear-Admiral Cocng*Ns,
RAMILIIS and LILY ; the Unique fchonner, and Do-
Mittica cutter; a lugger privateer, and a three-mailed
fehooner. The Jatote arrived the following day,
into which the Admiral fhilled his flag, when the
Northumberland, Ramifies, and Lily failed; on the
22d a fleet of merchant (hips arrived from Ireland,
nnder- convoy of his htijelty's fhip Woere. The
NORTH VM BEIMAND came again into the bay on the
23d. "Fhe packet left Barbadoes nn the 23d of July,
alter leaving Dominica on. the 27th with • the Hippo. ,
menes ; under Guadaloupe. they weft chafed by al
three-mall French privateer; the Hirrosteues hay.l
ing drawn her from under the Lend, commenced al
heavy fire on her, when the filtered off, and efcaped
by means of hei (weeps ; arrived at Antigua on the
3[ll, where the Grenada brought in a French priva-
teer row-boat. After delivering the mails at all tl:r
Leeward Iflands, left Tortola on the t 3th of Augull
the paffengers were—Mr. MARTIN, CofieOlor of the
Cultoms at Antigua;' Mr. Coot am, a London mer-
chant; and Mr. NAZZOLA, of Venice.

A feermd convoy was to fail from the Iflands about
the middle of Auguil, but no fhip was appointed for
convoy when the packet failed. The. packet fpoke
nothing of any conlegocnce on her parLige, nor re-
ceived any intelligence refpeding the homeward-
Wend fleet from the 'Wands, which failed on the 3 oft
of July, under convoy of the ILLusratous man of
war, &c.

The Canton (a valuable 'hip) from Guadaloupe. is
captured by the ViClory privateer, and carried into
Tortola. •

Thrcarteret Packet beings letters from• St. Kitt's,
of the Bth Anna, in a pottfcript to one of which it
is Paid—" It is reported here that 'eleven &if of the
line, full of troops, are arrived at Maitinigite."—
This report cannot deferve, nor does it receive the
lea credit.
Mere are letters of the tath.frpm Tortola, from
Tobago of the 26th, from Grenada of the 3d of
Aorta, end from Trinidad of the la. By thofe
from Tortola, it appears that eight fhips had been left
behind the fleet which failed on the 3 iJi of July, their
names are unknown, but they are fuppofed to be
due from Dovelike.
