JEROME BosAPARTE.-On Friday lat ar
r,ved IN a days from Martinique, the fch'r
Patriot, capt Hudfon, from whom we learn,
that on the 10th ult. jerome Bonaparte arrived
IN ihp of the line at Port Royal-that on the
10th, two other fhips of the line arrived, the
latter having been chafed by admiral Cochrane
IN the Northumberland, with frigate. Be-
tore capt. II. left Martinique, admiral Coch-
rane, with three fliips of the line, and reyeral
frieates, were blockading the French Nhips.
TWAS reported, that three more fhips of the
Inc and two frieates were daily expected a.
Martinique. At prefent we can only conjecture
as to the caufe, which has occalioned the fe-
paration of the fleet, to which Jerome Bona
parte was attached we may conclude that the
ieparation has not been poiuufary, nor fhall we
be furprized to learn that battle ba. taken
place, in which the French have been defeated.
! his Heet coniiaed of z fail of the line, and
three frigates, arriving in this difperfed manner
does not look we'll.
The Intelligence refpet1ing Jerome Bonaparre
Is confirmed by arrivals to the northward, and
by the fchooher Virginia, captain Blake, from
Antigua. Ledg.r.
