Sir Peter Parker sailed this morning in the Bristol, 50 Guns, for Jamaica, having been appointed to the Command on that Station: He saluted Lord Howe on going out, which was returned.

Sailed at the same time The Solebay Frigate for the Delaware with dispatches for Sir William Howe. There is some reason to suppose that the Delaware is frozen up by this time; but the Solebay is directed to get up the River if possible. Two Navy Victuallers sailed under Convoy of the Solebay, supposed to be intended for the supply of The Ships of War in the Chesapeak.
