plans of Whitfand Bay, below Ram Head—frill he
knew Colonel Sir W. L /sr as, Bart. of the Royal
Cornwall regiment, very well. On being atked
which was Sir W. LEMAN among the Officer., he

great friends in London, which se.rre fent to accord-

Dov ER, OCT. 17.—This morning the LEDA frigate
came to an anchor in our Roads. The two veffels that
arrived here a few days ago, containing nearly zoo
Hanoverian, HelEan, and other German foldiers,
employed in our fervice for fome years pail, remain
in the inner baton. Their time being expired, there
vein's were hired by Government, to convey them to
the Continent. An opinion generally prevails, that
we fhall coon hear of the failing of the French arma-
ment. Several people departed this town yeflerday
and the day before, from an apprehenfion that what '
has been long looked for, is now at hand. The two
fine regiments of the Lticefler and Oxford Militia,
now in garrifon at Dover Cattle, arc conflantly on
the alert. A guard from one of there regiments pa•
troles along the Cliffs to the South Foreland Point

had a fiat of the !nova fellows that ever fwamfalt water, I was deo
ten/tattled to defend the fhip to the loft extremity. On the 9th, I
had fpcken Captain M`Ginitis, of the Chip Lord Nelfon, from this
Ilavontion, who Informed me, that ;here was a large French cor-
vette, la Bay oneati, of ao guns and iso men, would fail in a few
days after hint, thought eti9 MS the valid, but not being wining
to rifque an at llon with one of lush fuperior force, attempted to

ing we found hint dole a ftcrn ; the Captain acknowledged, that if
he had ;not bad a very good night•glafa, our intended deception
would have had the elcfired effect. I cannot help mentioning the
great lupport I received from Mr. Wetherberd (a paffenger) from
his adlivity in working the guns on the quarter deck, and from his
attention in feting the powder paired up in Eddy. The French
Captain on taking poreffica of the Juno, finding the wan not in
fituatiou to pros:ccd for France, determined to go for Cbarleftun,
where we arrived on the tßth, but the American •Govanmen,
refuling both the frigate and her prize to enter the port, thc
taut means to take out her cargo and burn the edict. I regret very
much the lots of the Juno, the being a doe Chip, and fitted corm
p!etely in every refpett ; I hove, however, to fay, that I did my ut•
, molt to five her, and I hope and trait nay endeavours will meet
your approbation."
