IMPORTANT!
Capt. Craig left Barbadoes on the 18th April, and has politely favored us with the following information, and Barbadoes papers as late as the 15th.
That on the 16th April a vessel arrived at Barbadoes, 48 hours from Dominico, bringing the important news of the English having effected a landing at Grosier, in Grand Terre, 8000 regular troops and as many others as would make their number amount to 15,000 effective men. She brought no other particulars, that had transpired previous to sailing; but the opinion there was, that Guadeloupe (separated from Grand Terre only by a narrow streight) had, or shortly would surrender to the British arms.
