London, March 4.  On reading the name of a batter, called
the Twelve Apostles, inserted in the seat of war in the
West-Indies, lately published.
  If, from nombre de dios, it was once Drake's hard lot,
  To be driven with only a few blessed shot;
  What chance, at this port, can brave Vernon expect,
  Which all the Apostles are met to protect ?
