The 7th regiment, under the command of his royal highnels prince Edward, with the remainder of the troops from Canada and Nova Scotia, are aïrived at Martinique. 3.

A committee of the wholefale and retail dealers had an interview with Mr. Pitt, at his houfe in Downing-ftreet, on account of the variety of base coin now in circulation, as halfpence and farthings; and the refult is faid to be a refolution to put an immediate ftop thereto.

The first convoy of the troops coming from Gibraltar put in at Barbadoes, and landed at Martinique on the 23d and 26th of laft December. The general expects the remainder, every 'day. Fortunately, admiral Nielly has not as yet made his appearance. Were he to arrive, it is likely the English might lofe their conquefts at prefent: any enterprize would prove ufelefs. If he has not proceeded to St. Domingo, he has probably gone to the Cape of Good 'Hope. He had been preceded by a fquadron that ruined and deftroved, all along the coaft of Africa, the glish factories.
