    Letter from the Marquis de Vaudreuil from Porto Cabello. Vaudreuil writes that his crossing took fifty days and the ships suffered considerably. The Bourgogne was lost when it struck a sand bar. The troops under Rochambeau have embarked on the vessels and frigates. The Spanish squadron has not yet arrived at the rendezvous. Admiral Hood has sailed with 17 ships of the line and Vaudreuil believes him to be near Jamaica.
