In ANSWER to a late PAMPHLET; ENTITLED, _An_ ACCOUNT _of the_ EXPEDITION _to CARTHAGENA_. _Qui statuit aliquid, parte inaudita altera, AEquum licet statuerit, haud aequus suit._ _Senec. Med._ The SECOND EDITION. _LONDON_: Printed for J. ROBERTS, in _Warwick-Lane_. M.DCC.XLIV. THE INTRODUCTION. _The following Sheets contain an Answer to a Pamphlet, which appeared on the Close of the last Session of Parliament, and is entitled,_ An Account of the Expedition to _Carthagena._ _To set that whole Transaction in the most clear Light, the Author has laid before the Publick an exact and faithful _Journal_ of the most material Occurrences, not only during the Troops being on Shore in the Neighbourhood of _Carthagena_, but from the Time of the Fleet's sailing from _Jamaica_; the Period from which the Author of the Pamphlet begins his Relation._ _The Notes are (as far as it was practicable) placed in the same Order with those in the Pamphlet; to which References are made, that the Reader may (if he pleases to take that Trouble) compare each Note with the Answer to it._ _Several Facts will be here found to be placed in a very different Light from the same Facts, as they are described in the Pamphlet, and others to be rejected, as absolutely false and groundless; but the Author flatters himself, that he has advanced nothing which is not founded upon Truth, and such as can be supported by living Evidences, or by authentick Records, whenever his Antagonist shall be pleased to lay aside his Mask; otherwise, no Notice will be taken of any Reply, which may hereafter be published._ January _the 10th, 1740_. It was resolved in the principal Council of War[1] held at _Spanish Town_ in _Jamaica_, that the whole Fleet should proceed to Windward, to observe the Motions of the Squadron under the Command of the Marquis _d'Antin_; and that Capt. _Dandridge_ should be sent before in the _Wolf_ Sloop to get Intelligence.
