- X & Extral of a Letter ffom Opeotto, Jan. 1. “ We were alarmed at the Approach of the Spanith “Troops towards Galicia ; but we now think ourfelves fafe, becaufe thereare ten Britith Ships of the Line in the Port of Lifbon. “ It is faid, that the Defizn of the Spanicrds isto make an Expedition to lieiand with 20,000 Men, hieaded by Cne who hopes to find mary Friends in tbat Kingdem, If this be really the Defign of the Spa niatds, we wifh they may not bear usa Grudge for admitting fo many Britifh Ships of War into Lifbon : Fer if they fhould break with us, the whole Navy cf Great Britain could not defend us agaicft a Spanifh Army." Extratt of a private Letter from Holland, dated Jan. 22. * I learn this Moment that the Court of Madrid, alter baving made - feveral haughty and arrogant De mands, by’ an extraordirary Melltnger fent to Lifbon, and received the difpleafing Anfwer that they /fouzhe and cxpectted, have ordered 60,000 Men (o march into _ Portogal. | Three Spanifth Camps are alfo to be formed immediately, and all 1 hings indicate the moft virulent, iniquitous, and-unpiovcked Meafares on the Parr of that Court towards tbe Portuguefe Nation, whole Calamities ovght to. have been its Security,and towaids Eng'and, who generoully fought their Friendthip with. out fearing, their ‘Enmiy. 1 he Spavifh Nation are not pleafed at thefe Prcceedings ; and they are peca- Tiarly difcontented at the War with Eogland.

It happened on the evening of the 4+h' chat one of the Royals by being a lictle drunk, ftrolled tob nigh the centry at'the gates of the forr, and was apprehended. By him' the French ugderftcod we were' to Storm on'the nexc day ; alucky galconade indeed, for they immediately fent out a truce at'midhight to propofe a c:pitulation, which being agrzed on, the pext day our troops marched in, and took poffeflisy at g o’Clock P.

This was a (cene well worth feeing, for which we arrived very oppor- tunely ; the like mayn’t be, met with in the courfe of “wmy life, The takirg Grenes, or Granier, was the tak a3 of Fort Roysl with about. 300 men by interceptivg i's communication ‘with the fort, end 6000, they fiy, were put o flight 3 upon which we obtsined tha town and great pare of the country round. The panick was grest, and [ hope 'its not over. Monfiure Latouche, walked oflinto a mountain called La Montaine, with a number of men, and did not give any orders at Fort Rayal for fix days before the furrender. The lan. guagt inpeneral is, that they ought to be bang’d for giy- ing up fo frong a place. [t is" tive they were well plied with fhot from our feveral batterizss ; but had they kept clofe, and hauled in their guas, and cnly guarded sgain®t a florm, it might - have bezn along time befor€ we could havs akea it, At is furprizing 10 f=¢ its feengih, which is beyond expeftacion, . ‘The imea of war did very right in not aitacking it as they muil inevitably have been drub'd. - It would amuze you totrace the march of our troops from firlt landing (a kind ‘of prouw fling pravidence ac lealt mait'belacknowled;™d) azeinkt molt advanizgeons reioubts. e : The French Governor of Guadsloupe came in fonte time fince, ‘and feéms'to be well plealed st'hiis lodgings in the head quarters. An old prielt, or Frier,who 'adges at the {sme place, makes this remark : If the faidGovernor dzlerv’d hang- ing for giving up that in three months, what wil]Mon- ficur Latouche merit for this of Martineco, or Fert Royal? “A RACK, ; Tae 6th inftanc 1 had the fingular pleafure to accom- piny my namelakeinto'the fort, who, s Commiffary of the Anrtillery, farveyed the lines, and found the tollow- ing ordnance.

Oh the devaftation of war ! its enough to make one tremble at the thoughts, yet could not but with cager curiofity pusfue the fearch of ruin upon ruins. We met a canoe with fuadry French Gentlemen, who told us they were going to propole 8 capitulation (whether for themlelves, or any body of inhabitants I cin’t tell ) 1 As to the {urrender of Fort Roysl, the number of men that marched out was 800, and thofe of fick and wounded left about 400. Terms of capitu ation are not known, except what was ocular, namely, about 530 regulsrs & mili:ia mar- ched cut with syms, amunition, colours, and beggage, preceeded by two brals 6 pounders, to the head of the harbour, where the flit boitomed boats were ready to carry them on board the tranfports, After this about 270 privatecr gentry marc’h out, grounded their arms, and were conduéled on board. Thefe terms at prefent befpeak the bonodr and bumanity of Britilh fuljedls. The capitulation relates only to Fort Royal, and not any other part of the Ifland. About 250 Englifh prifoners were found in the Fort. As to the defcription of their town, with a moft comfortable and elegant hofpital, you have many about you to be informed of. This place is of little trade,being old it chiefly centered at St. Pierre ; Jo that there’s no mer- chandize as yet to be bought. ““ I twoNights ago had 1he pleafure of [pen- ding the Evening with two Gentleman of ihe firft Charaller, immediately from Martineco s they were feveral Times in Company with our Admiral and General, and faw theCapitulation, which was compleated, and the following are tbe Heads of it, viz.
