rines and other Frcnchrnen who had embark
ed on board the fleet. Being obliged TO stop
the great works Of the Ncw-Diep, he liberat
ed 600 Spanish prisoners who had been en-

that they did not depart without expressing
their al acbment towards the Admiral, and

answer Of the Admiral to these three sum-
