A person thought he heard a black-cap.  On this day Sr George Rodney in the W. Indies obtained a great victory over Admiral de Grasse, whom he took in the Ville de Paris.  He also captured four more French ships of the line, & sunk one.  On the 19th Admiral Hood, who was detatched with his division in pursuit of the flying enemy, took two more line of battle ships, & two frigates in the passage of Mono, between Porto Rico, & Domingo.
