By the marl from Jamaica which arrived yefterday,
we have received accounts, that an arreft has been.
Cued out by the Commiffioaers for inveftigating the
Army Expen&ture in the Weft Indies, againft one
individual for 130,0001. t but the party abfconded
before he weld bd takes. The place to which he had
retreated was known. but be had not been captured I
nor will any perfon who know. how difficult it is so
execute an arra in the Weft Indies be ferprieed at it.
The public, however, will rejoice to hear, that the
Commiffion has fucceeded equal to the soft fanguine
willies of the belt friends of Old England. By the
exertions of its Members, dikoveries have been made
of fraud, peculation, forgery, and other infamous
praitices, which only required to be known, to be
rendered impolble in future.

Two more Gips of war, the Teaatass of yo gush

As to the Eaft Coati, we are of opinion is little

•I have only time to tell you, that 3o of the enc.
my's gnn boats paired laa night along Chore. under
cover of their batteries, from Dunkirk to Boulogne.

ILINSOATI, JAN. 4..

A cutter failed this night from Ramfgate harbour,
by order of Lord Kstro, to reconnoitre the opera-
tions of the enemy on the French Coaft.

DOVER, JANUARY 4.

We have been without any news of the enemy's
flotilla for this week pall, owing to the Rrong wind
that have prevailed, which have blown our cruizers
of their Rations, and forced them to take refuge in I,
the Downs and Nefs Roads, but they have at length
failed ; now the weather has become moderate, for
the matt. Nearly 30 of the enemy's gun boats came
off Calais, and went down along !bore to Boulogne ;
it is conjeCtured that Tome of our cruizers fell in with
them, as a great firing was heard here this morning
until about ten o'clock. The report of guns at adi (Lace
bas alfo been heard again, by Tome of our feamen
juft come down from the Heights. The wind is as
fair as it can blow, for the enemy, and very moderate
and Favourable ; however we are all ready to receive
them. Report lays they are in a very forward Rate
of preparation, and we ezpea them every day.
