Capt. Goodwin arrived here on Saturday last from Jamaica. By him we learn that his Majesty's Ship Enterprize, had carried into Kingston, a large French Ship, mounting 18 Guns, bound from Port Louis to Old France, very richly laden. Likewise, that thirty English Vessels, bound for several West India Ports, have lately been taken and carried into Martinico, the Privateers of which place continue to swarm in those seas.
In those Seas, notwithstanding the neighbourhood of Commodore Moore's Fleet: But it is hoped the Arrival of Admiral Holmes's Fleet in the West-Indies, will put a stop to the Enemy's Career in that Quarter.
