From this desolate condition which was nearly as

provisions and cloathing, most of thesrmiserable suf-

THEWSON, in the brig Sarah, of Workington, .whose

44 For there last three weeks we have been em-
ployed in protecting convoys, but are-now finally
established on this station. watching the motions of
the French in this port: The rasc.ils are, constantly
in motion, exercising their sails, and mo6ting and
unmooring, keeping us constantly on the *le arid.
I expect the event will be a dart, in which case we
shall have warm work of it. Our squadron is rather
inferior to theirs : they have ready.for sea two sail of
the line, tour frigates, two ship corvettes of the line,
four luggers, and one schooner; besides several cut-
ter-rigged vessels. - Our squadron consists of the
VENGEUR and VRNERABLE, 74 guns each; FISGUA2D,
36 guns, and four sloops of war ; and I heartily wish
that the vial will soon come on."
Saturday morning, 'the Dauntless, Capt. BAESZE,

five West Indiemen, but parted from them irra heavy

upwards of £lOO,OOO in specie, -on account of the
