~, Y I 1 attended with difaftrotis confequences to Partosy•-• Both parties claimed the viflorir after the laft ten contre ; yet it is reafonable to fuppofe that Perrom's forces were worßed, becaufe they retired to foine fortification under a large hill at a fhort difiatlce. Firma's army, it was expeBed, would be fhottly reinforced ; and Geniral Bow errs was to resign the command in favour of GARRARD, a Black General of great renown. The next attack upon Fort St. Mark, it was thought, would take place about the latter end of November, and the followers of Parrots pro mired themfelves complete fuccefs. PErtow's army had been ailing offenfively for Vine time pan. Fort St. Mark, which hat been the grand objet t of at tack, lies in the centre of CHIUSTOPHa's territories. Parton's force. are in poffeffinn of Port de Paix, Port au Prince, Cape Nicola Mole, and feveral other Itrong places. Parrots himfelf was confined at Port au Prince by illness. The Generals on both fides are exceedingly rich ; they are open to bribery, and it is necelfary to keep a watchful eye over them. Captain DOURICK, in the Governor Mills, failed in company with the Venal. Off Cape Francois, a French privateer attempted to capture the Vaal in a calm, when the Governor Mills having Tome guns on board, bore down to her affiflance, and handled the p . rivateer fo roughly, that fhewas obliged to fheer off. The privateer hailed Captain Doutticx before they parte& and propofed sot to moleil him, provided he would fuffer him to take the Veltal. The Captain anfwered him with a broad(de, which ended the parley. AMERICA. We have received New York papers to the 4th inft. They contain the report of the Secretary of the Treafue y of the United States (i. e. the Budget) laid before the Cnogrefs. Its length obliges us to defer its publication till to-morrow. The Petition from the town of Philadelphia to the Hofife of Reprefentatives, for the total repeal or the Aun.importation A et,was not referred toa Committee, bur, after a long deba!e, was rejected, by a majority of 30 voices. This ACI, however, though not repealed, is Hill not in farce, but is'under fufpenfion, from an other AEI which is periodically renewed for that purpofe. Upon the whole, the afpeet of affairs in America is of a much more favourable nature than it was a Ilion time ago ; and an article contained in a Philadelphia Newt - paper, called the Trus American, Rates Mr. JEFEERSON to have faid, that a war with England need not niw be apprehended.

The tranfports are 42 in riumber, under the Eue'vazus and f4torn frigates. They were only 13 day. in, coming from Gibraltar. force is from eight to nine thOufand men. Sir Joffe Moose has with him Brigadier General Csstrawr.s., his Adjutant General ; Major General Wass, his Qtrar ter Mager General, and the ref of his Staff, with 11.veral General Officers. Major General M. FRASEE i M.P. who commanded in Egypt, has come home in this fleet. We heard Come days ago of the gallant General's expelled return, but not of the return of his troopr. The objet of his eipedition to the Tagus was ac. complifhed before his arrival ; and by his return to England we may reafonably conclude, that all the rumours of an attack upon Cadiz 'here unfounded. The tedudlioa of Ceuta, we Fr time, does not require a greater force than that which has recently failed under General SPENCSR. The arrival, however, of Sir Joins Mooat has ex cited much furprife in certain circles. We hope there has been no blunder in any quarter. f I i RUSSIA. We learn from a gentleman, who arrived a few days ago from Peterfburgh, that the war with Eng land is extremely unpopular in Raffia, and that if meafures of hoaility *are perfifted in, the Govern ment will have great difficulty in preferving the internal tranquillity of the empire, without the aid of a French force. The . EMperor is not fuppofed to entertain any animofity againft Great Britain, but his preterit policy is dictated to him by a power whole mandates he does not dare to difobey. There is no doubt whatever, that the rupture with this country was ftipulated in the Treaty of Tillit, and the execution of this article was pollponed, under various pretences, till at laft a menace from General Savaity, that the French army would be imme diately ordered to march upon St. Peterfburgh, alarmed tV Court l itho fubmiffion. There % hill a party at Court attached to the Englilh formation, to which belong the family of the STILOGONOF FS, M. CtaRTARIOSKI, and M. No. VOSILZOFF. The principal Fupporters of the French intereft are Prince KURAKIII6 and Counts Roman aow and ToLsrov. The Princefs NARISKIW, who has been for a confiderable time the favourite of the Emperor, is known likewife to have a decided French bias. All the merchants, and the great mats of the people, are on our fide, as the following anecdote molt unequivocally evinces :—Count Tot.- trroy, before departing on his enxbaffay to Paris, let off to vilit his eflates, which are fituated in the neigh bourhood of Mofcow, but received an intimation on the road from the Governor of that city, advifing him not to proceed farther on his journey, as he could not anfwer far his perfonal fafety, to loch a degree were the populace in that part of the country incenfed againf thole whom they fuppofed to be fa vourable to the interefts and views of France. The Meffenger who came over in the Flag of Truce, mentioned in the STAR of yefterday, has ar• rived in town. He is a Spanifh Mellinger. Yeller 'ay mlrning becoming very fine, his MA. yesTv, Princeffes AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, and AMELIA, accompanied by Lady ELT, Count MUNSTER, Gene rals CARTWRIGHT and MARRIINGHAM, Colonels Tay; LON and Damow, at eleven o'clock took a ride round the Great Park, and returned at half pail twelve. It was yefterday fait!, in ►he City, that the Captain of an American wail, arrived at Plymouth, repotted that he had, a few days back, fallen in with fix French frigates, with troops on board, (leering to the Weft ward. Monday fennight, the 34th Regiment matched into Cork from Bandon, and next day proceeded to Monkllown, to embark for foreign fervice. Monday too recruits for the Batt Kent Militia, forming the tit diVifion, from Canterbury, marched from thence, on their route to j , in the regiment at the headquarters at Alton, in Hants. To the account we forMerly gave of the troops arrived at Cork, fruits Monte Video, we ought to I have added, four troops of the 6.11 Dragoon Guards,l under the command of Major HIGGiNs, and the 7111 Font, under Major TOLLY.
