We hear from St. Vincent that the Indians have sent a Message to the Admiral and Governour of the Island, to know what Terms they will accept of; for, finding themselves almost tired to Death, the Want of Provisions and Ammunition renders them entirely incapable of defending themselves. It is said they want to go quietly away from the Island, if the English will permit them so to do. There is at present above twenty Transports there, besides six Men of War and Tenders. The Soldiers have taken a Hill from the Indians, that they have been defending two Weeks, with a considerable Loss of Men on both Sides.
