The English troops under General Gage, occupying the coun- try from New England to the Gulf of Mexico, muster sixteen regiments, each of ten companies, numbering seventy men in time of peace and a hundred in time of war, besides a company of a,rtillery and a number of engineers. I believe I have already mentioned that these troops are changed every three years." Nor does he hesi- tate to touch by the wayside upon a kindred ques- tion. " From conversations with several promi- nent individuals he...re I have learned that the English government greatly regrets having made peace with Spain without demanding possession of the island of Porto Rico, the possession of which is in every respect so favorable to English interests. Under the pretext of protecting their trade, the English government has many men of war at sea and a large number of troops on the continent, not to mention those already stationed on the islands. It is evident that these troops are so distributed for the special purpose of being prepared to pounce upon the French and Spanish settlements on these islands at the first speck of war.
