ter, of Liverpool, Captain Joe ts, both from Jamai-
ca, recaptured by the ,Acarra, of 4o guns, Captain
Wool. The Lout, of 4o Suns, was (poke a few
days fince, with fix fail of the Jamaica fleet under her
protedion.
Snit URN MIS, OCT. 20.--.. The CAIIYSTORT is appoint.
ed tq take the convoy to the Baltic : there are about
twentriltips he will fail this day. The Pas !sort,
Captain littoucoroo, has arrived ; the brought with
her a French privateer, prize to the ComsraNce,cap-
tain Ger rrirm s. The Foal' bomb has failed for the
Downs, and the Ai:ape sis taken into Dock. The
Neptunus,NlEMoNN, has, failed.
DIAL, Ocr. zo.—Arrieedthe MSLPOMEN II frigate
frrim a cruize, and remains. Arrived and failed for
tte River, the Friendfhip, lacaalttat, from Tene-
rife ; Cora, Burros ; Alfred, Paiute ; Lan Kim-
sey, Coe ER ; Montego Bay, Audio, and livenl
others, from Jamaica.
Doves, Oer. :56—The Duro, George, and Mary
brigs, with wine from Oporto, for this place and
London, arrived here this day; when they failed,
Portugal was expeded to be invaded every day.--
Sailed for Sheerneh the SCORPION (loop of war
launched here a few days deice, to be fitted for Tea
with all poffible difpatch : She is a very fine veffel of
her clots. Every thing teems quite at prefent on
the French coal : the gun beats at Boulogne, Calais,
&c. keep dote in their harbours, and our cruisers
are conflitay watching them sz-ritit i Ming boat
an get out.
Ocrosas before left, the Pluto fioop
of war, fromDongenefs, anchored in our Road. Previ-
ous to her leaving the Nds, a cutter had arrived there
from the toaft of France, the mailer of which Rated,
fhifGederal Mamma, who is entrufted with the,
samitattil of the army from Boulogne to Oftend, had
Lately gives directions to have the troops immediately
hutted, apirthat many thonfand labourers are now
employed in`cirrfing this order into execution. As this
intelligence comes through a very re fpatable medium,
little doubt can reafonably be entertained Of its au.
theaticity ; but whit ire we to infer frOm it ? is it tI
manoeuvre of the enemy to put us off oor guard; or
has BONAPARTI changed his plan of operations, and
atfedred not to venture himferf or his army over tbr
scb during the winter? A queftion arifes on this occa-
too, which has not efcaped our attention. May not
the ordergiren for hutting the French troops along
the coal, irliesce the embarkation is intended to take
place, be a iersossirre adopted by the Corfican, for I
the purpofe of throwing us drvor guard? If this be
his intention, he will, Molt affuredly, be deceived;
but the probability is, at leaf we think to, that Bo-
garaera has changed his plan of opciations for the
preknt, and will not venture &wig or bet droty on dor
"woo during the winter feafun.
The Weft India fleet are now palling ; the Catha-
tine, of London, W. Sr Esc mailer, from Jamaica,

the Sir Godfrey Webfter, M. CLAIR, it. YOUNG,
W. SPCNCIR, and B. DUNCOI.III. Landed alto from
the Robert and Betfey, from Norfolk, in Virginia,
F. Tusear.
A veffel with German troops, that ferved in the
rash Regiment Rationed in the Well Indies, failed
yefterday for the Continent. Some of thefe birdie;:,
with an unparalleled impudence, declared their
opinion, twee their arrival at Dover, that Bok•
rears is the only General in Europe worth (erring,
and that when they land on their own foil, their de
termination is to join his flandard immediately !
The (pot weft of the pier-head. on which Town.
:end's battery formerly Rood, has been furve}ed, and
it is thought will immediately be repaired and guns
planted pre it. This (pot commands the bay from
bilakerpeare's Cliff to the South Foreland Point.

co`voy of the Hoven 1134 p, and tome gun brigs.—
They experienced very blowing weather on the pot-
tage, Come of them having ((prorated from the con-
voy fool after they failed. The day before they left
the Sound, the Gator; armed floor), with the fleet
under her convoy, had arrived :VG
W
'which failed from Douglas, (I& of Mann) on Friday
fe'nnight. ie bask was put on (bore near St. Afitph,
on the coat of Wales; but is expc(led to be got off
aain. The mailer, and William Nelfon, a iceman,
Gong known here as the matter of a !loop belonging
to the coal of Galloway) fell overboard, and were
drowned in lets than half an hoar after they left the
port; and the only perigee regaining in the veffel
were an old Iceman. of the name of Fergoton, and
three patiingers ; two of whom were women, and the
stLer an infirm man, who walks with crutches.

On the 30th June, about four o'clock in the morn-
ing, I made the ifland of Peters ; and at five lent the
large cutter and launch, manned and armed with a
twelve pound carronade, under 1.4 e command of
Lieutenant RICHARD LONGFIRLD DAVIES, and Lieu-
tenant BAILLIE, of the Marines, to oblige the town
to furrender, or begin the attack : between fiz and
ftven o'clock they entered the harbour, under a very
thick fog, and perceiving a boat crolling from one
fide to the other, brought her to, in which they found
the Commiffary, who ailed as Governor. The con-
futon that the place was thrown into from the fud-
den attack prevented the inhabitants from ambling
together, and at half pail fevers the Commilfary fur-
rendered the ifland, by delivering the colours to
Lieutenant Davies. From what has been fince
learned there is no doubt, that, if the inhabitants
could have had time to have collettcd themfelves
frOM th&r different fituations, they woold have made
a (hong refatAnce, haring Since discovered upwards
of ope hundred Stand of arms among them. Know.
ing,the finall force in the boats, I tiled my utmufl
efforts to get his Majefty's fhip into the harbour, but
was frequently prevented by thick. fogs About
eleven, it being fomewhat clear, I entered under a
very heavy prefs of fail between the Rocks, which
were not a cable's 'length acrofs, and at two P. M.
brought to with the belt bower in fifteen fathom wa-
ter- Found hem a I rench merchant brig (la Reines
d' Auges) and a fchdioner (le l'rovoyicr), with ele-
ven fmall tChooners, and upwards of one hundred
battocs. The Rind contained fa, Flores, fair, and
merchandise of various aefcriptinns, and, upon a
rough furvey, about two hundred and twenty men
were upon the ifland and in the boats ; bit tiwy br-
ing fo detached Several got away in the final' craft,
one of which. I have Since been informed, was taken
off Liverpool in Nova Scotia, and another at St.
Lawrcne:, in Newfoundland. On every thing being
fecured, I ordered one of the fishing fchooners to be
fitted as a tender, and having her manned and arm-
ed with a twelve pound carr-madei—geve the com-
mand to Lieutenant DaviEs. with diretions toccour
the coalf, and take poffeflion of the iflands of Great
and Little Miquelon, which he did, but no inhabi-
tant*/ or Rom were foundpat either of thofe places.
