Full Description:
Benjamin Money, Master of the sloop the 'Speedwell'. New Providence [Bahamas]. Reports that a Spanish fleet under the command of Don Galvez had arrived at Cape Francois [Haiti] from Havana, and encamped while awaiting the French fleet. Hearing the latter were blocked up in Martinique by Rodney, the Spanish fleet withdrew. A flag of truce from Cape Francois to Providence confirms the above. The Spanish fleet on its return had been seen within 30 leagues of Cuba by two privateer schooners.
