New York, 19th. April 1762—

Sir,

I Have the Pleasure to Acquaint You of the Continuation of the Success of His Majesty's Arms; by Letters received this morning from Major General Monckton, of the 19th. March, He Informs me of the Grenades having Surrendered on the 5th. of that month on the Same Terms as Martinique; and that he had Sent to take possession of St. Lucia, St. Vincent, & Tobago, the former of which had also Capitulated.

The General likewise Acquaints me that on the 8th. a French Fleet had Appeared to Windward of the Island, and he was in hopes, would have attempted to have Landed; but on the Intelligence of the Islands being taken, they made off: The Admiral Sailed after them, but had not the good Luck to overtake them he was however going out again with the greatest part of the Fleet, the day that General Monckton Sent his Dispatches.

I am, with great Regard,

Sir, &ca.

The foregoing to all the Governors on the Continent of North America.
