Captain William Brown arrives in 15 days from Martinico bringing news that English forces reach St. Lucia with three men of war Feversham Hector and another. French threat to drive English from the island provokes a 12 vessel, 2000 man flotilla. The English reportedly plan to resist, with a packet to Martinico for possible settlement talks. Also noted are stock prices and local notices about theatre performances auctions and sales.
