It is now no longer a doubt that the Spaniards absolutely mean to join the French, and act in conjunction with them against the forces of Great Britain in all their West India islands. For upwards of these twelve months past the Dons have been sending small detached squadrons, with land forces on board, to reinforce all their territories in those seas. In a word, from a person of very good intelligence, we have authority to announce, that almost the whole navy of Spain, completely victualled and manned, is ready to put to sea, and that the period is not very distant when they will declare themselves, and act openly with the combined Gallick fleet against that of the English.
