The Spaniards, who do not wifli to leave any thing to chance, are making the moll, for midable preparations : they have 18 pound mortars, 36 pound braTs rcaiino.is, and a aiumber of grenades, furnaces, &c. Their force is computed at more than 6000 men they have nine men of war from 64 to 1 20 guns, four frigates, two ftore-lhips, and four brigs. They have lately received 200 artillety men; and have difpatched a veiTel to theHavanria, "to bring from thence, 1000 .men 1 a fliip of 50 gun is to carry 500, men to Porto Rico.
