THE EXPEDITIONS.
On Monday morning, about fix o'clock, the wind
being at E. S. E. the Egan.' was made for getting the
fleet at Plymouth under weigh, and every (hip hove
(port to her anchor, bet by nine o'clock the wind had
(bitted again to the S. W. and put a flop to any fur-
ther proceedings. The crowd of vefels in that quarter
is fo great, that we are very apprthentive fur their
fafety, lbould Equally weather come on. It is reported
that orders have gone from the Admiralty, to eosin.
'emend the failing of part of them. If there be any
truth in this, we (hould be glad to hear of their being
feparated from the MI, to make a little more roam.
A number of tranfports are now affembled in the
Downs, waiting for orders. At Ransfgate, they ex.
pea Come of thefe to come in, every tide.

A letter horn Tortola, of the 17th of July, receiv-
ed by a rerpeetable merchant in the City, hates, that
" a privateer had fallen in with Jattowa Bo AAAAA ra's
lquadron on the 9th, of Samana, (leering to the
fouthward of St. Domingo, and was informed by a
French officer belonging to it, that they were bound
to St. Domingo. Sir jO/111 BOXLAIE WARILIM, on
his arrival at Tortola, placing implicit reliance on
the above information, failed on the 15th in dire&
purfuit of the enemy, whole force then confined of
feven fail of the line, three frigates, and two floops.
One of the men of war failed very badly, and it is
hill hoped that the Englill fquadron may have come
up with and engaged the enemy. Sir J. B. WARRSII
did not wait to fee Admiral CocKaaw a, who had
gene to St. Kitt's and Antigua to coiled the veffels
which are to compofc the homeward bound fleet, and
vhizh were to fail for England on the :It of Augull."
This information was immediately forwarded to the
Admiralty, by the very relpeflable Gcndanwul by
whom it was Waved.
