FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Extract of a Letter from Lord Macartney Governor of Grenada to Lord George Germain dated 4th September 1779.
I FLATTER myself that long ere this Letter arrives, you have received my dispatches of the 5th. July, from Grenada advising you of the French having taken possession of this Island. I sent you several Copies before, but in case none of them came to hand, I shall inform you in a few words that Count D'Estaing arrived at Grenada the 25th July with 25 Ships of the Line and 12 Frigates and 6500 Land forces. We made the best defence in our power with the handful of Men we had which only amounted to 101 Men of the 48 Reg. 24 of the Artillery and between 3 and 400 Militia, we succeeded in driving them back the first time they made the attack, but by their superior force; they force'd our lines the 2d. time after a Combat of about an hour and a half, which cost them above 300 Killed and wounded, a Number far superior to all the force we had to oppose them, and the more so as all the Negroes and new subjects had abandoned us in the Night before, Finding ourselves at the discretion of the Enemy without any means for making resistance, and without any hope of the Relief We were obliged to propose a Capitulation; but Count D'Estaing absolutely refused to listen to our Terms and we also refused his, so that the principal Inhabitants unanimously agreed to surrender, rather than accept the offers he made us, and on this footing they are Masters of the Island.—
Extract of a Letter from Admiral Edwards dated 24th July 1779.
I Have the pleasure to inform your Lordship that his Majesty's Ship the Unicorn, Capt. Cadogan, has taken a French Ship of 24 Guns and 194 Men after a Combat of half an hour, also taken an American Vessel of the same force.—
Jamaica 7th June. The Ruby of 64 Guns, the Eolus of 32 and the Jamaica Sloop brought into Port Royal the Prudent of 36 Guns and 314 Men Commanded by Le Viscount D'Escars after an Engagement in which Capt. Evarett of the Ruby was Killed.
London 28th Aug. Since we heard of the French and Spanish Fleets being joined the present and future operations of Sir Charles Hardy are the only objects of attention.—The 25 the Enemy was bold enough to appear off Plymouth in such a Disposition as raised an universal suspicion of an Invasion, Sir Charles in his last dispatches seems not to have heard of them, yet they cannot fail meeting one another, Sir Charles's Fleet consists of 35 Ships of the Line, 7 Frigates, 6 Fire Ships and several 40 Gun Ships, in all about sixty sail.—
Extract of a Letter from LONDON the 7th September 1779.
THE Loss we have sustained in the West Indies is not at all to be doubted, We have not only received advice by the Duke of Cumberland Packet Boat which left St. Christophers the 9th Aug. and which is arrived at Falmouth, but the particulars has also been brought by the Capt. of the Ariadne who arrived here to day. On Board this Frigate of 20 Guns is Admiral Barrington, but the wound he received in the Engagement would not permit his coming up to London, As the Court cannot help informing the Public of this affair, we shall only add that it clearly appears that Mr. Barrington's Division sustained the whole Fire without being joined by the rest of the Fleet, this Division was Composed of the Prince of Wales which he Commanded, the Duke of Grafton Capt. Wilkinson, the Cornwell Capt. Edwards, the Sultan Capt. Gardner all of 74 Guns, the Boyne of 70 Captain Fanshaw and the Lion Captain Cornwallis of 64, the Prince of Wales suffered much Damage.
London 17th Sept. William Henry who has served a Campaign in the Prince George Admiral Digby has since been advanced to a Lieutenant.
London 31st. August. A Letter from Ad. Duff dated 26th July from the Bay of Gibralter on board the Panther of sixty Guns informs us of the success he has had against a Spanish Convoy which was going with provisions to the Troops at St. Roch he has destroyed one Vessel and taken 14 others loaded with Wine Brandy Bread &c. This will be of great service to the Garrison of Gibraltar. This little Squadron was composed only of the Panther 60 Guns and Enterprize 28, the only two Ships on that station.
Corogne 31st. July. This morning the Concord a French Frigate brought into Port an English Cruizer of 26 Guns and 150 Men which she took near Cape after an Engagement of three Quarters of an hour, this is the same Vessel which insulted Le Colier some time before.
Corogne 6th sep. Nermione a French Frigate of 34 Guns and 320 Men Commanded by Mr de La Touche brought into this port the Hawke an English Cutter of 14 Guns and 52 Men, of which 3 were wounded
Cadiz 31st Sept. We still continue taking every necessary measure in the Camp of St. Roch for attacking Gibralter, while Don Antonio Barcelo takes every opportunity of preventing any Vessel from entering the Harbour, several very heavy pieces of Ordnance amongst which were a few Culverines from Ceula at the Camp.
Breast 20th sept. the Count D'Orvilliers received Yesterday by a Courier from Versailes some Letters from the Ministry mentioning that since the bad state of his Health would not permit his continuing any longer, the King has been pleased to accept of his dimission and has appointed the Count Du Chauffault in his place, Don Louis de Cordara on his arrivel gave a Dinner to the Officers of the United Fleets who were 300 in Number.
From the Camp before Gibraltar 13 Sep. The Night before last we perceived that the Officers and Soldiers of the Artillery were very busy about the Battery and that they made several manuvres with the assistance of an artificial light but we are quite ignorant of their intentions with regard to that. Next Morning the Enemy began firing from the new erected Batteries in Maures Castle and from several other places upon the Mountain, at first their fire was very brisk having 15 Cannon and 2 or 3 Mortars, but after ten o'Clock it decreased by degrees and they only fired at intervals, they have done no damage to our Camp unless one poor Soldier who was impudent enough to lift up his hand just as they pointed their Guns, for our part we did not think it worth our while to return the fire as they did us so little hurt.
London 5th. Oct. an Order was issued out to prevent the exportation of Copper, on which account there has

been some disturbances amongst the proprietors of the Copper Mines, but as they cannot dispence with any of it, having occasion for a great Quantity to sheath the Royal Navey, they have made an agreement with these people which is satisfactory to them.
Port Royal 26th July. His Majestys Ship the Lion arrived here the 20th of this Month quite disabled having suffered much in an engagement which happened the 6th of this Month between the English and French Fleets off the streights of Grenada, I think it is only doing Justice to Capt. Corner Allen to assure the Lords of the Admiralty that on account of the deplorable State of the Lion; it was impossible for him to join Admiral Byron.
London 1st Oct Lord G. Germain has received a Letter from Valentine Morris Esq; Governor of St. Vincent dated in July giving an account of 450 French Troops being Landed on that Island from Martinico the 16th June under the Order of Le Da Trolong and taken possession of all the heights which Commanded the Town of Kingston and the Governor in concert with Lieut Col. Etherington who then Commanded the Kings Troops thought proper to propose Conditions for surrender ing the Island, the French Officers having agreed to them after some altercations of his own. The Island surrendered on the following Conditions. That the Colony should be obliged to deliver a sum of Money to pay the French Troops which Sum should be deducted from the Revenues of the Crown, the Carrison of the Island consisted in one Lieut. Col. 3 Captains 8 Sabalterns and 500 Soldiers of which 104 were sick.

SIR.
THE Terror, of Invasion, which being over us diffused a Martial Spirit throughout the Nation. Associations for the defence of the Kingdom Subscriptions for raising Men, for the Land and Sea service; contributions for the Marine society; offers from individuals to raise Regiments all these bore a testimony of the sober and steady determination of the People.
But what at first was serious, is now became ridiculous; play at Soldiers is the gew-gaw of the day, from his Majesties Master of the Horse, to the grown young Gentleman in the Artillery Ground, or the ungrown in boarding Schools no rank of people is totally exempt from the influence of this fashion; even the Directors of the E—t I—a C—y that grave, solid commercical Body of Men, have determined to be in the ton of playing at Solders, and like Sober Lamedon dancing in the Gout, to have their share in the foolery of the day.
AMuster is ordered of all their Clerks Secretaries Warehousemen, porters, servants and dependants for the purpose of playing at Soldiers. The Command of this doughty Army is given to Col. W—s and a Gentleman who has served the Company in a Military capacity abroad, with Hon. and reputation actually condecended to take a Subordinate part in this pretty Mumery.
In arranging this mighty business it was found, that the number of Gentlemen, entitled from their salaries to be Commissioned Officers, would be disproportionate to the rank and file to remedy this inconvenience, it was determined to divide the Army into three denominations, Europeans, Seapoys and Mahrattas, in one of these corps every servant enjoying a certain Salary, is to have a Commission; the non Commissioned Officers are composed of book keepers and other persons who have pretty lucrative employments, but not to rank with Gentlemen of the Pen. M—l, Secret's is appointed to the Regiments, which however, were happily adjusted by the condecension of those who kindly accepted of the Office of Paymaster leaving the Regiments to Mssrs. C—and H—t.
In order to give the matter an air of reality, and to inure the Troops to something like actual service a Post is established upon the late expedition to poonah, Dk—C— of the Secret Office is to be Rag-a-Boy, the only question is, whether, when on watch for the Committee, he shall have the exclusive right to the seat opposite the picture of John Dean.
Europeans and Seapoys are to march from the Steps which leads from the Secretary's Office. The Mahrattas to enter by the grand Door in Leaden Hall Street, (to sag the the grand Army) while a detaichment who are posted in the private Trade, flanks the Enemy by the little passage from Lime Street, the place of Action the Quadrangle One Day Rag-a-Boy is placed upon his seat by the confederate forces of Europeans and seapoys, the next he is displaced by the Mahrattas; on the third, he regains his honours, and on the fourth he is disposses'd of them &c. &c.
In one of the Committees held for the purpose of forming of the Army Mr. M—p who has proved himself a steady friend to the proprietory, argued that the general interest may be injured in causing the servants to neglect their respective duties to their masters, by transfer of their attention to the fate of Rag-a-Boy, that the introduction of the Military would ass & civil subordination, that the Director would be lost in the Soldier, and that dissipation & distraction would be the inevitable consequence, in vain says this honest man shall I order one of the Servants into the Ware-house; or bring me an Account Book, he tells me he is aid-de-camp to General M—land is going to order Col. Cogan to make a feint attack upon the Mahrattas's left wing, towards the Kitchen, while the General takes them in front, with the Europeans, if the man obeys me he is brought to a Court Martial, and dismissed, if he refuses to follow my Orders, I dismiss him you Gentlemen, what would be done, this reasoning had some effect and produced some Orders and regulations respecting the civil, the Military and the compound Characters, of which I am promised a coppy, which I will send you as soon as I can in the mean time you have the following, which I assure you

first draught.
all the Servants obey the Order of the Directors in preference to their superior Officers, as they receive places more than their Military.
That when the duties are compleated (may be the case of a Warehouseman on Military duty and before a Committee) the hat is to be held above, without touching the head, denoting the subordination, and some sort preserving the Military dignity.
That no Officer on duty shall touch his hat to a Director unless said Director be in the actual execution of his duty.
That all officers be spoken to, and addressed in letters, according to their respective ranks Capt C--- of the Artillery, L--- M---y of the Infantry, &c. This Order relates to Warrant Officers and Soldiers.
