" On the a4th the NIGIR failed from hence for
Malta, with Brigadier General OARIES and his
fuite, and tiro hundred recruits for that garrifon.

The Sr. Ftoasazo is here wind-bound,
the having made feveral fruitlefs attempts to work
through the Gut.
4g The CYNTHIA !loop of war fails for Liibon
the firft fair wind : the following Officers belong-
ing to the garrifon go patiengers in her, in their
way to England, Major-General WINES, Colonel
Daustuotm of the Bth Regiment, and Lieutenant
Colonel BOSSY of the 25th Regiment.
44 On the 26th, Lieutenant-General Canaan,
the new Commandant at St. Roque and Algefiras,
came from Algefiras to pay his refpefts to his
ROYAL 11;oHNESs the Governor ; he was accom-
panied by about thirty Spanith Officers on this
occafion, and was fainted by the garrifon, both
on his landing and embarking to return.
46 General CASTAKEZ bears a very high cha-
rafter for abilities and integrity, and in his inter-
view with his Royer. HIGHNESS, he is faid to have
conduced himfelf with the utmoft liberality and
politenefs, offering to do every thing in his power
that could contribute either to the comfort of his
ROYAL HIGHNESS or the garrifon, or to promote a
good underftanding between the two countries.--
Indeed nothing can exceed the civility and atten-
tion of the Spaniards, particularly fine the arrival
of his ROYAL HIGHNESS; among other inftances
of their politenefs, they have not only completely
repaired the road to Saint Roque, but have even
made a new road for feveral miles beyond it, to
enable his carriage to pats without difficulty as
far as the convent at Almorayna, about fifteen
miles from this."
