During the liege, they loaded a French frigate and
two gun brigs, with dollars, which they cowardly
let fire to, on the morning the town furrendered.—
About twenty defetters from the Britiffi camp, and
three Americans, that had poll... Ann of one of the
Spanith batteries, and would not furrender, are to be
hanged, together with the whole of the crew of the
Jane Shore Guineaman, that had mutinied, and killed
their Officers. The country is in a Rate of nature,
without cultivation, but fill proJuces luxmiantly. A
bullock will coil about a dollar, and a bode three or
four rials. Wool and bides, tobacco, tea, and choco-
late, in heaps, lie out in the fiels!s, perhaps walled
about, in fome places, with cow horns and bones.—
The city contains about forty thoufand inhabitants,
who arc very elegant in perf,n, but very fwarthy in
the face. The women drefs lnofely.and Item a little
curious to gaze after lir angers. There is a great
demand for clerks ; and tradefmen can eafily make a

Neither the Garland r,or Mary are yet arrived. I taw
fourteen dollars paid for a quire of common writing
paper, and 35. id. for a glass to a watch."
