Say' t.r.c, Nov. 12.—The convoy, consisting)
of SO ships, which sailed from Toulon, and, sc.
cordiug to some, carried provisions for Barcelona ;
or, according to others, troops to reinforce the.
army besieging Gerona, has been dettruyed by'
the English. All the letters we have rcceived from
the Eastern coast of Catalonia state tills important
intelligence, observing, that the shores ,of lase,
Ca.tiagues, and Palatitus, &c. are sovcred with
wrecks of ships, and a considerable outuber of
dead bodies, which the sea had thrown up.
They write from Tarragona, under date of the
Ist inst. that the English squadron was in pursuit
of the French, and on the 2d that they had already
wiltsged, the result of which was the burning of
six ships. We expect the detail. The
