The Spanish general Den Porlier hasian
ded with his party at Stantona. and done
considerable mischief to the French ON the
Coast. Batteries have been DESTROYED, and
ships taken. and the enemy thrown in the
greatest alarm.
We have no doubt that the admiralty will
take the most efficient means to prevent the
successes of the French privateers in our
channel. during the ensuing months. 1t is
we'll known that the French are making the
most extensive preparations for this harvest !;
there are teo stout vessels ,ft,ing at La
Hogue, six at Rochelle. and 10 sail, it is said
at st. Maloes. The principal circumstance
that gives these vessels success is, that they
sail faster than any of our ships when the
wind is fresh.
