My Loro, ADMIRAL Byron bore down to leedrard the 6th of June to preted the trade, which had tf fembled at Grenada, and were to rendezvous at St: Chrifiopher’s. He proceeded accordingly r4e the last .mentioned iflihd, and wa loft fight of his squadron, from the height of St. Lucia, tha,Stk of Jane, The Preach taking advantage of the abfencC Os the Britilh fleet, when employed ia protecting the homeward bound trade of the Weft-Indies, sent fear armed veflels, under the command of Moaf. le Chevalier Duruttiin, with three hand red men, com posed of regulars and militia, and landed the 16th of June upon the island of St. . Vincent* The idaad fubaaitted without firing • ftiot, and the capitulation was figaed the 17th. t waited on Admiral Byron as foen as possible after he Came to an anchor, the ift of July, it Grot Islet, upon returning with his fleet from the cruise to leeward. When I got on board I foand he had bat just received an account es the redaftion of St. Vincent, lftfae of the express . veflels which had been dispatched for him hav- . ing been lucky enough to fall in with the f<£b*- droo. The Gentlemen of the Navy who were on board with the Admiral Teemed much alarmed -nbcut G>eaada* I had not heard of upon that island, but readily agreed to proceed , with the fleet and army to save or retake Gra nada and St. Vin Cent, Upon my return to head quarters, at fix ©♦- dock in thc eveeing, orders were given for em barking next morning v at day-break, and the embarkation wrs com pleated in the courfc of that day and night. The Admiral was inform ed the 3d, at fevan o*clock in the morning, that . Avery thing was ready to go to fee. ( In consequence of which, figdals were made, and we failed with 21 fliips of the Hoe, the Ari adne, 14 t; an (ports, 4 ordnance, 4 hospital, and 2 cunvalcfcent fliips, 3 vidmllers, the a- Seat of txaafportj* the engineers, and a harfe oop. We made St. Vincent the 4th, Sad wera in formed that the French had but 300 regulars and 300 militia upon the island; that they were fortifying themfslves with tht affiftanca of 400 Ntgrocs 1 and that the Charibs had jtiued them. The Admiral received Advice the 5 th, in the •, that Grenada was aftoally attacked y that the French had from eight to ten fail of the line, with fsven or eight frigates, and had landed from two to three thousand men { that Lord Macartney was in pufleflion of the hill which commanded the town of ftr. Georges and, knowing from a Mr. Houften that he was to receive immadiate support, would of course maintain his post as long ns poflihle. The flset carried this dty nil the fail thqy conld, and was in fight of Grenada and the French, fleet the 6th at day-break. The British squadron bore down upM them with all the fail they coaid cxend, and the at tack began at half an hoar after fevea ia the morning, and continued till twelve \ was rc* ne*ed again at two, and continaed till sunset. But things turned out very different from what we had reason to cxpeA from the intelli gence which Admiral Byrim had received. D Etaiag was reinforced before he left Marti nique, and had at least 26 fail of the iiaeaad 8 friskto with 6or 8000 man* The French gave cut io.coo land troops and marines. Admiral Byron therefore very prudently de termined to (land for St. Ckriftopher’s *0 refit thedamagei ships, nodfilnt .to inform me of his intention. lam convinced be will foen recover the superiority at fed, at the F;ench, though niptrfte ia number, rnuft nt last give way to the intrepidity of the Briiifh /quadrun. * .
