THIS Evening came in an Express from Sir George Rook, Dated on Board His Majesty's Ship the Queen, the 22th of this Instant April at Six in the Morning, being then Nine League's South South East off the Lizard; He left Cadiz the 30th of March, with about 190 Sail of Men of War and Merchant Ships, which are all safely arrived in the Channel; and when he writ these Letters he was making the best of his way towards Spithead. He had received no account of the French Fleet's having yet passed the straits.

W. from Scilly; and that 11 Sail of Merchant Ships passed by Plymouth that Morning for the Downs, who came from Kinsale under Convoy of the Weymouth and the Ruby; Four of these Ships belonging to London, and being bound home from the West-Indies.
