GREY ELLIOTT.
A gentleman who arrived here on Friday last from St.
Augustine informs us, that on the 12th inst. the day he left
that place, two schooners and a fioop failed from thence for
the Havana, having on board the Bilhop of Cuba, and several
families going to fettle on that ifiand. The Spaniards seem
diflatisfied at St. Auguliine’s being given up, andit’s thought
that at lcaft two thirds of the inhabitants will become fub
jetts of Great-Britain, rather than quit their properties.
They have great plenty of provisions, three veflels from
New-Spain, loaded with flour, having lately arrived there.
Flour fold from four to four and a hulf dollars the cwt.
He adds, that a veflel was just arrived from New-York,
which brought a news-paper of a late date, in which was a
paragraph that mentioned the court of France having a
greed to give up to Spain the ifiand of New-Orleans and
their settlements to the the MiflUippi, in ex
change for their part of St. Domingo.
