MtrLotß, | FLATTER myfe'f that long before this letter * reaches yeur Lardftiip you will'have received my difpateh cf the sth es July (A) from Grenade, givi* i’*g you an account of that island's being in peiTVftion of the Fidach. I feat several copies of it by diff.'reßt channels, but left none of lliem (hiutd have come to haod, I Stall now in a few words acquaint your Lordfliip, That on the id f July the Count d’Ef- arrived at Greaaria, wi.h *5 f<il cf the line and 11 frigate*, having 6joo land trtops on bosid. We made the bed defence we c u!d with the handful of people we hid, wliii-h coulifttd if 101 tank ond file rtf the 48 h regional, 14 artillery recruits, and be* tween 3 and 400 militia. Wc had, the good fortune to repulfs the enemy in. their firft attack, but in rite second they carried ouf lines by dint of fuperiur a win bes, after a coaflift of abaut aa buur and a half, 14 wiiich they had killed had wounded 306 men and upwards, which amount! lo mmg thin t ie whole farce we had to uppofe (heir (mark ; for io the preceding night wc were dsfertsd by alm.ft all the coloured people, and the greeted part of the new fib).As. Beit g at the diferetioa of the enemy, without mean* of icfiftance or profpeA of relief, we were obliged to propose a capitulation, which was instantly a<>t( peri m >t<*rily rtf used by the ; Count (i'Eftaing intoto-, and iejirb ofit he feat me the naift extraordinary and umx prejeft that ever entered into the mind of a general or politician. This I rsjtAed in my turn; and there being no poffihility of ob aitupg any otner, all the principal inhabitants to whim 1 communicated it were uraai rooatia prefe<nrg a furreader wl.hc.ut any conditi ons at all to the that was offerrß ; and upon that footing the enemy are no w oofTffad of the id rad. My 1-tter of the sth nf July is so full and circuta • ftaat;aJ, that I mutt rtfer your Lordlhip to it, and to the papers iaclifed in it, f>r the particulait, I flatter myfclf that you- will believe, that 0 thing was ooi tted that could yoffibly have boen done for the prefervatiori of G.enada.

I hive written ro M. He Sartinr, through wbefe bands this letter paffri, to know the intentions of his ecu t with rogsrd to my ealargemani, and ex pert his answer in a few days. M. d’E taiag wol I ndt consent to any exchange of prisoners in the Weft Indies on tin's occasion.
