NASSAU. August 13.

A correspondent at Turk's Island mentions his having seen Grenada papers, containing London news to the 5th of July. The purport of the intelligence given in them was that the Emperor had taken possession of Bavaria.--That the French army under Custine (we suppose that opposed to the Prince of Cobourg) had been greatly reinforced. That the 37th regiment in garrison at Ostend, had been fortunately relieved from an attack intended by the French at Dunkirk, by the arrival of a considerable body of troops from England destined to reinforce the combined army, and that no action of importance had taken place since that of the 26th of May.
