In confcquence of difpatches carried nut by the
FLY Hoop of war, which overtook the expedition at.
the Cape, the obje6l of it was changrd—at leaf fo
the letters from the expedition Hate. On leaving the
Cape they were totally ignorant of their next defina•
tion, and much furprifed when they found that they
did not double the Cape. Their arrival at St. He-
lena was another cite= fiance which excited much
furprife ; they, however, endeavuuted to reconcile
the idea that touching at that itland would net be
much out of the track to South America, at that
time of the year when the winds are rtelh, and always
certain. Several of the tranfpotts alto had not com-
pleted their water at the Cape.
Nothing can equal the attention of Brigadier Ge-
neral CRAUFORD to the wants and comforts of the
troops; to this circumfiance, and to the great clean-
tinefa and regularity preferved in every trar fport cf
the fleet, is to be afcribed the uncommun degree of
health of the troops, which have been embarked
nearly eight Months, and tome of them upwards of
wine. The General has made himfelf acquainted with
many circurnQances attending the embatkation cf
troops, which he ptopefes to remedy by an applica.
tin to Parliament. We believe that the regulations
which lie means to recommend, will raider the
troops nearly as ccmfrrtable as feamen on board
(hips of war. We underfland that he is to pay t• ,r-
-ticular attention to every thing which can contribute;
to the prefetvation of their health during their hay
on chip board, and alfo on their landing in wain)
climates.

EXTRACT OE A LETTER, DATED IT. HELENA, APRIL 26.
66 Ever fince we left the Care, n( thi, g can equal
the furprife of every one belonging to the expedition.
Many think that we are going hr me, and others
;that we are going to the Wei; Indies. Several Of-
ficers now with us, are promoted into regime; is at
home, and have applied to the General for leave to
join their regiments from this place. But Alt, ngh
the China fleet is about to fail to Europe, the Gene-
ral will not permit any of them to avail thsmfelves
of this opportunity. This leads us to fuppoie, that
the General means to fend them home free of expenfe.
No officer is allowed to fleep ;Arne, and no foldier
on any pretext is permitted to land, on account of
the manes, which have been imported from the
Cape, and are very fatal here. This is the moll ex-
travagant quarter in the World ; and it is now worfc
than ever, on account of the immenfe number of
(hips collated here which never has been equalled,
There are now upwards of fifty fail. It has hap-
pened unfortunately for the China fleet who were not
able to put into the Cape on account of bad weather,
and are now at the greateft difficulty for flock.
Fowls are felling at one guinea each, and every
thing elfe in proportion, liquors excepted, and they
can fcarcely ,be had at that price. There is alfo a
great fcarcity of Englifh goods, no flote-flips having
arrived from England there fix months. Luckily
we want little, for we laid in a large flock at the
Cape, fufficient to laft us four mcnths. The Ge-
neral, is very anxious about fuel for the tranfports,
Viand is much difappointed at not getting coal at this
place; we ftill have fome idea of going to Buenos
Ayres, and drubbing the Dons for their late conduit,
but it only amounts to conjecture. I with this long
protrafted bufinefs was over, for I affure you I am
heartily tired of our long cruife. Were it not that
we flsould 'cut but an indifferent figure, I wills ae
were'back in England. We have been now eil.l t
months on board fbip, and notwithftanding every
precaution, the troops are now beginning to get rr..
healthy from long confinement. We flail leave -this
place in profecution of our deftination, to morrrvf,
which I affure you I am not at all lorry for. We
are all heartily tired of it. I ILA write to you frcro
our next rendezvous; and if we have to adt, yr u
need not doubt to hear of our fuccefs."
