We are fadly anxious for the arrival of a 

 packet, and of newfpapers, neither the fliip 

 from Glafgow, nor that from Liverpool having 

 brought more than one or two papers of the few 

 days preceding their departure. We look for 

 them in ferles, and exped: quite a feaft of de- 

 light from the perufal. Debarred from the 

 news of our own country, and the old world, 

 we have occafionally been much gratified by 

 reading the Am.erican papers, brought by 

 vefTels which have arrived with ftores and pro- 

 vifions from the United States. 



We, who are deftined to proceed to St* 

 Domingo, have new difappointment in finding 

 that the Cork divifion, intended for that Ifland, 

 had not failed at a date many weeks fubfequent 

 to the time it had been reported at fea ; and 

 hence we feel it probable that we may even 

 yet be long delayed : nor does it feem un- 

 likely, thar^ before we depart, w^e may be cal- 

 led on duty at Barbadoes, in confequence. of 

 the increafing number of fick, and the non-ar- 

 rival of the medical officers of the Charibbee- 

 Ifland, or what, with (Irange incorrednefs, has 

 been called the Leeward4fland ftafF.
