Spainish part of St Domingo offers 19000 men aid
Inhabitants of the Spanish part of St Domingo inform our government they will supply 19 000 men to cooperate with the army in reducing the island. The offer, backed by protests from Jamaican planters and London merchants, has led the government to abandon the evacuation plan. On Saturday Count Harrington, a French refugee, was taken to Bow Street for assault in a gaming house and admitted to bail.
