THE ENEMY.
"The last accounts from below tend to
induce a belief that the enemy are
quitting our Bay. it is stated, that
taey have destroyed the buildings
which they had occupied as barracks,
on Tangier Island, and that upwards
of 30 sail had gone to sea.
tis probable they have by this
time ascertained that the promised
reinforcements under Lord Hill are
bot to be expected ; or that if they
should even have sailed from Europe,
that they cannot in time to join them
‘in any attempt on this city before the
spring.; and we may now reasonably
suppose that their boasted return is
necessarily postponed, and they are a-
bout to seek winter quartees in a
warmer climate and a situation of less
risk, :
