At prefent it has provifions fufficient for five months, and General Faeaano who commands the garlifon, encourages p►ivateering by every means in his power, and in this manner receives new fupplies. The num ber of privateers he has fitted out amounts to twelve ' or fifteen. The prises they take from the Englint are exchanged for the cargoes brought by neutral (hips to St. Domingo. The mailers of the privateers are fb well acquainted with their profeftion, and the fess In which they navigate, that they fcldom meet with any accident: a proof that they cendud themfelves . with (kill is, that their countrymen in the other bland: who with to vifit St. Domingo, do not hefitate to take a oaffage thither on board their veffels. There are (till in the ifiand of Cuba from fifteen to eighteen thoufand French refugees from St. Domingo, in cluding women and children ; they live there for the mod part in great diftrefs ; many of them therefore go from the Havannab, where they are in danger of penis's* by famine, to St. Domingo, where they ear be nfefel is the prefervation of a town and port,'which in all probability will one day be of great -advantage to France • " Oar Red Berthrea."-12 the (mute of this week I .(fags the Frederick(town Herald) pared through .taws, on their way to Wallington, a deputation of Ofav Indians, mentioned in a late paragraph, under the I.engton t Kentucky) head.

It was cut into (mall iquare pieces, not weighing tore than an ounce and a half or two ounces, and packed up in boxes. . Several (toot privateers are fitting out at Boort dean; Nantes, Marledles, Antwerp, and in the Ten,. intended, during the winter, to injure our trade in the European as well as the Indian Seas.

Between one and two on Tuefday morning. the alarm of fire was given, in Greenock. It broke oat in the back fhop of Mr. Bazzoni. gilder and print-fillet in Cathcart-itreet, and for Come time threatened the deltrudion of the houfe and neighbourhood. We are happy, however, to Rate, that by the prompt and zealous exertions of the inhabitants, it was got under in lets than an hour from the time of its being ditto vercd. We have not as yet learned how it originated. A number of the Volunteers, in arms, were of great fer vice in keeping off the crowd, and preferring order. BARTHOLOMSW FAIR.—Our Reports of die trials held at this Fair, we find, have been let down br Come perfons as mere effufions of pleafantry. We are therefore induced to fay, that however ludicrous they may appear, we have given the fails as they occurred. The Court held there is called a Court of Pit Peek,. It is the 'emelt but the molt expeditious Court of Jut. lice known to the Law of England. It is a Court of Record, incident to every fair or market, in which the fseeward of him who owns oe receives the Toll of the Market is the prefiding Judge. He is alined by a Jnry, which in this cafe is called " The Homage."' The Court is inilituted for the redrefs of all commer• cial or other injuries, done in that very fair or mar ket ; and the complaint mull be preferred on the fame day that the injury is offered, unlefs the fair &sold laft longer. From this Court a writ of error lies, in the nature of an appeal to the C.tUfLID at Weßminder Hall.—The name of Pie Nodes has always been eon fidered as of doubtful etymology. It is laid by lonia to be from the Pueir Prober, the " dotty feet' of the fuitors, or more fancifully than truly, by Sir Emirate Coal, " becsafe jußice is done as loon as 10 can drop from their's." We are more inclined to aree with a later Ltymologifi, who derives the appella tion from Pied, PriaGeous, the latter word in old French fignifyiug '• Pedlar." It is therefore the Court of loch /wry aspotto as may be foppolid to rev fort to fuch a lair or market. The Jury, in this cafe, is regularly fuorotoord. (worn, and empannelled, and the individuals cons poling it are bound to attend for the three days heed for the duration of the fair. We (bouki have deemed It our duty to have cos tinned reporting the ptoeeedings of tbie court. but nothing elevated doting the Iraq day which is worthy the attention of Tat Readers.
