IL.781.004
8 Jan 1781:31,32 (3/136)
New-York, (City) Dec. 20. Extract of a letter from
Gibraltar, giving an account of the Spaniards late attempt
on the shipping in that port. [A letter wrote in true
British insolence and bombast.] . . . [1 1/3 column]
Thus was this infamous and formidable attempt, the works
of many months, and the master-piece of Barcelo, effectually
defeated by Leslie's spirit. . . [13 lines] The whole
garrison was in motion, the drums beat to arms, and their
troops were at their posts with astonishing alertness.
