Letter from the Havannah, say, That the latter end of June
ten Spanish men of war, capital ships, arrived here from
Spain, with a number of transports, having on board 4000
troops to take possession of that island, agreeable to the
treaty of Peace; . . . when the English flag was struck and
the Spanish flag hoisted in many places. The British troops
marched with music playing and drums beating, making a grand
procession, down to the water side, where the boats from the
English men of war and transports were waiting to receive
them, and carried them on board their respective ships.
