S?on after Captain Lander left Aux Cayes, he met with a Spauilh frigate from Ha vanna, the Captain of which sent to him a very ]; re fling invitation to go on board the frigate, which he accordingly did—and found, from the Captain’s enquiries, he was 3ppiebenfive that war was de clared between France and Spain—and he allured Captain Lander that his business with him was to obtain some information refpeftmg it. Captain Lander informed him that he had heard nothing of it ; but the Captain of the frigate believed that a war had already commenced, said to be hicon lequence of a -having taken piace J erween Fiance and England.
