(To be continued.) GEORGE-TOWN, July 3. Ext raft of a littet ft am London May (>. " Before you receive this letter, hortilities be tween this country and Spain, will commence; in which the latter (as you may colletftfrom the pa pers which go by the Packet) is the aggteflor, ha ving taken five out of seven British veflels, tra ding between the North-Weft Coast of America and the East-Indies. A general war is expected, as well as another, artonifhing and unexpected, revolution in America. We were never more for midable, either in power or unanimity. The general voice of England has, without waiting for the Royal Proclamation, denounced war and de ftrudlion against that branch ofthe Houfeoj Bour bon, now weakened and divided, through a glori ous struggle to eftablilh the equal and natural rights of man. The King of Spain, it is alledged has made some powerful alliance to enable him, in this crisis, to oppose the Britfh fleet, strength, and resources. Our Stud-jobbers in the Alley, however, have formed for him, in one day, alli ances numerous enough to vanquish the world ; but the next day, have been civil and cuirttous in another extreme, reducing his native sovereignty into a commonwealth, and diverting him of his dominions in South-America.—However, theEn glifli fleet is in motion. Ships are daily despatch ed on secret expeditions, and the officers and men are reported to be unusually sanguine for a&ion. How, or when this commotion may ter minate, is out of the reach of hfuman coniprehen lion : But we may conclude, with certainty, that the produce of your country will command a great price during its continuance; and that Heaven may prosper you on this, as well as 011 e very future occasion, is the wish of millions in this hemisphere.
