The day following very great aelivity was ufed in bringing down mortars, bombs, (hells. &c. to the fea-fide, to be embarked on board the fleet.— Two thoufand artillerifls and engineers were to be taken from the garrifon of Baffeterre, to be added to the force on board the fleet, making in the whole schwa troops. The &ft point of attack was faid to be Trinidad, after which they would make a (weep of all the Windward Iflands. The fleet reported, that about the time of their failing from Toulon, the Breit fleet had alfo orders to put to fea, and proceed immediately to Jamaica ; and it was reported a few days ago at St. Thomas's, that Jamaica was adually taken. 6 , The following are the names and refpeilive forte of the French Fleet : Ships.

An embargo was imme diately laid on, and continued till the 26th. In the mean time all the lick were landed from the fleet. They had likewife taken poffefflon of Diamond Rock. The fleet was to fail the 28tb, and by report of {tame of the officers, who dined in company with Mr. Jaavis, they were bound to leeward, having on , board soon troops, and a quantity of heavy artillery. They likewife informed the Captain and Mr. Jitivis, they intended to treat any Americans, trading to the Wand of St. Domingo, very feverely, but how far that treatment would extend, was yet undetermined, as tome were fir hanging, and fume for other punifh ment—foine punifirment was certain. Spoke the above fchooner 27 leagues from Cape Henry, 18 days out, wind S.S.E. After extraaing the above from the logbook, and getting every other information, I thought it molt prudent for the intereft of the con cerned, to mum to the Chefapeak. When Capt. GENNAN left Charleflon, there were three French privateers, a brig and two fchooners, cruizing off the Bar, and had taken feveral prizes. 1 It is our painful duty to Rate, that the LIANDIR, land other Britiffi cruizers are aftively employed, with in view of our fhores, in intercepting our homeward bound merchantmen, and fending them to certain condemnation, fat aut aria:, in the Court of Halifax. There is but one fource to which this private dithers, and national degradation can be traced; will Mr. MADISON have the candour to name it ? Or !hall we fpare his blufhes, by faying that they are folely im putable to the pufillanimous policy of a time-ferving Cabinet, more occupied in contriving how they {hall keep their offices, than adminiftering them with dig nity and firmnefs !

CHARLESTON, JUNE 4.—Plartcy and INsut.r.-- The French privateer which has been cruising off the mouth of this harbour for fome days part, boarded the day before yetterday, while trolling the bar, the brig South Carolina, and fchooner Peacock. from Cuba, and the coafting fchooner Delaney, Captain BYTHENVOOD, from Beaufort, in this Rate. was brought to, and boarded on the fame day, after fhe was completely in the harbour ; and they even threatened to fire into the Delaney, for not heaving ,to and coming under their lee fooner, although it was impoffible to have done it without getting her on (bore. It may perhaps be diced, where was gunboat Number One on this occafion ?'— She was at anchor near Sullivan's Ifland, in full view of the whole tranfaftion, though not perhaps quite within gun.fhot. As this piccaroon grows bolder from impunity, we may fhottly expel a Rill clofer em brace from her : and after this I fhould not be fur- ' prifed if fhe were to enter our harbour ' and cut out fume of the veffels lately returned fromSt.Domingo. It is a melancholy truth, and I repeat it with for row, that the Arr erican national charades., from the repeated insults of this nature, (which are patiently fuffered by the Government), appears to be approach ing to a 'fate of pufillanirnity incompatible with the fupport of our freedom and independence. Scarcely a day pans that we do not receive accounts of our veffels being captured or plundered by this gang of in famous Piratical Freebooters, infoßing the Weft In dia leas • no regularity of papets, nor the molt fair and law ful voyage, will fave them from the all plun dering fangs of there defperadoes.

Admiral DSCRE3 had all ived at Ja maica and taken his nation at the mouth of Port Royal; infmnation of the arrival of the Combined Fleet had been received, and excited much coniter nation. Jums 24.—We have nothing new by the fhip which arrived on Thurfday from Guadaloupe, except that the French pallengers in her (late, that the Combined Fleets at Martinique remained in a Rate of inactivity ; and that the French Government have fent out this naval force without even trufting the Commander in Chief with the fecret of their ultimate Whe.n they failed from Toulon, their orders were to proceed to Cadiz. On their arrival at the latter, an enclofure was %tired, containing infiruaions to proceed to Martinique, and fir on : that the Commander of the feptadron himfelf does not know where he is going, alter he leaves Marti nique, till he reaches the place to which he is ordered. Capt. BROWN, from St. Bartholomew's, left there on 7th of June, and Oates, that information had been received at St. Bartholomew's of a fccond French fleet from Europe having arrived at Mar- 1 tinique ; and that the first object of the united fleets wetild be the conquefl of Antigua and Trinidad. Capt. THOMPSON, Who left St. Bartholomew's nn the Bth of June, confirms this news. A letter from Martinique, dated the 28th of May, received at New York, ftates, that the embargo of fourteen days was taken (ff the 27th, and that the fleet had failed. Another letter (fates, that the com bined fleets were intended to et againft the iflands of Jamaica and Trinidad, the former to be attackect by the French, and the latter by the Spaniards. Arrived at the Lazaretto this morning the brig Lucy, ANDERSON, twenty-three days from Pore France, Martinico.—May 28, was boarded off the Saints by his Britannic Maielly's frigate Spy, and informed by the officer, that fhe was the look-out fhip of Lord Nstson's fleet ; that he left them in lat. 30. long. 22. on the BEli of May, bound to the Welk Indies, in fearch niche combined French and Spa tifh fleets, from Cadiz. Captain ANDERSON having informed him that he left them in Fort Royal, Mar tinique, the Spy immediately crowded fail to wind ward, to meet the Britifh fleet. BOSTON ' JUNE 24.-0 M• lateft accounts el the Cott bined French and Spanifh fleet are to the 3oth May, at which time it was lying at anchor in the harbour of Fort Royal, Martinique; its deaination was not fulfy known, but reported to be to windward. The Spanifh were faid to be very fickly, and a cenfider able nnmber of them on fhore. The embargo which was laid fhortly after the arrival of this fleet at Mar tinique, was taken off on the 28th May. This ftep was confidered as indicating their immediate depar ture, but 11111 the fleet remained in port. Further news frnm the Well Indies :—Capt. TR ES PA Hgm arrived at the (tiarantine Ground Satur day laa, from Bafreterre, in tiventy-two days, Worms that on the 29th of May two French 74-gun (hips ar rived at Balreterre from Rochefort, who failed from thence in company with five other (hips; and that the twn fhips above-mentioned, failed from thence on the 2d June to join the grand fleets at Trinidad, where it was prefumed they had gone. Capt. TRES. FAMEN further informs, that the Britifh packet Earl of Leiceiter was captured about 6o leagues to the weftward of Barbacloes, by a French privateer, and fent into Guadaloupe. From the above intelligence, it appears that a re• enforcement has arrived from France, for the purpofe of joining the French and .Spanifh fleets--that the pe riod for commencing its contemplated operations againft the Britifh Colonies, was about the tft of June , and that Trinidad was marked out as the firft ohjed of their predatory fpeculation. Other accounts from the Weft Indies, to the 3tft of May, ftate, that from the difpolition which had been made by the combined fquadron, it was proba ble they would direct their firit operations nut only . againltTrinidad, but St. Kitt's and St. Vincent's. No mention is made its the laft accounts, of their defign ing an attempt againfl Jamaica, which is known to be well fortified, and would be gallaßtly defended. Tilde accounts alio confirm the report, that the troops OD board the Spanith Fleet were in a fickly Condition. The French privateer which has been cruiling for a length of time off Sandy Hook, continues Rill on the fame It.itiun, making daily prizes of the Ameri cans—the latea accounts mention, that a firing had been heard in that quarter, which lifted upwards of half an hour; and it was hoped that the piratical Freochman had been captured. PHILADELPHIA, Juan 17.—We have received the following letter from Baffeterre, Guadaloupe, Dated May 26, iBos : " On the aid init. arrived at this port from Mar tinique, the French Imperial fchooner Lafere, of fiz uns, bringing information of the arrival at Fort Royal of a French fleet, cm:filling of 12 fail of the line, fix frigates, and tour Chops of war, under Ad miral Vietaw guys, from Toulon, together with fix Spanifh flips of the line, and feveral frigates, under Admiral Qaaviaa , foaming a l o g e t h e r 18 fa il of the line, 12 frigates, four (loops of war, and fundry t r aniports, having tin board 18,000 troops, under the orders of General Lanais - rots (a Creole of Pon dicherry), first Aid de Camp (Ibis Imperial Majefly NAP( LEON.

OrunJam .4,1 Lottery Tickets al ilia Conf. for acc. 59f, 581 Difpatches were this morning received at the Ad miralty from Admiral DRURY ; they bring no news of importance : his Majettj',, 113ips Ism and Est ascLa have joined him. The lafl accounts room Admiral Cosuwat.t.is's fleet, are dated the 2oth init. The intrepid Admiral had then taken a flretch fiom Brea to the latitude of Rochefort and Cape Finiflerre, but had received no account whatever of the enemy's fquadrons. A vac! arrived yeflerdo from Malta : loan after it was known a report prevailed in the City, that Lord 2slaLsoles fleet had arrived off Cadiz, having miffed the Combined Fleet. This intelligence re ceived little or no credit, Yefterday afternoon a Note was tranfroitted from bfr. NSPICAN to a Merchant in the City, informing him that• the two line of battle (hips which failed from Rochefort on the ift of May, arrived at the ifland of Martinique the day after the re•failing of the Combined Fleets. Thefe two (hips are reported to have one thoufand two hundred troops on board. It is added, that the Spanifh part of the Combined Fleets, under the command of Ad miral GRAVINA, had been difpatched to Trinidad ; but in confequence of the very fatal ficknefa which had broken out among the crews and troops, they were under the neceffity of abandoning the en terprize, and had proceeded on to the Havannah. It had been afcertained to be the intention of the Com bined Fleets, conjunctively with the above two fhips, to have ravaged, or in their own words, to have fwept all the Weft India iflands of every article of commerce previous to their quitting that quarter but their intention was happily fruftrated by the in terference of Paavinsmcs. The NOILTHUMBEILLAND and Sosarlars are on the Windward nation, and of courfe a match for thefe two fhips ; and Ihuuld Ad miral DACRES fall in with the Spanifh fleet bound to the Havannah, no doubt is entertained of a favoura able refult on our part. We have every reafon to believe that Sir EVAN NAPIAN'S communication above alluded to, was founded on a Telegraphic difpatch from Portfmouth, announcing the arrival there of the STAUNCH Gun Brig from Jamaica, and that at the time the failed, viz. the ; 7th of June, all was well in that quarter. So many rumours have been circulated this day, and with fo much confidence, that we fhould not be furprifed to find tome of our contemporaries imprifed upon by them. One report in particular has received great currency—that advice► have been received from Lord Zslst.soa, brought by the SratrucH gun brig, Rating the return of the Combined Fleet to Ma ti nique, whither bis Lordfhip had followed, and was blockading the enemy when he fent off his difpatches. We believe there is no truth whatever in this re port. indeed, from the dates, the thing appears impoflible. The STAUNCH, as we have already Rated left Jamaica on the 17th of June. Lord NE 1., SON was off Antigua on the toh, and the Cuataux pailed the Combined Fleet on the t9tll. American Papers of the 26th June mention that the French fquadron had been reinforced by two (hips of the line, two frigates, and a Roots. This intelligence probably alludes in fame way to the fhips from Roche fort, which failed on the tft May, full of troops. But thefe could not have been with the Admiral when he Mt went into Martinique, and he certainly went in with fixteen of the line. If he has been .aanally joined by thefe he molt have eighteen of the line with him, unlefs he has left one behind, which is probable, as the CURIEUX, on the tgth, raw liven teen fail of the line. We apprehend there may , bea clerical error in the copy of the Admiral's dif patches publilled, and that Admiral GaAvru♦ went away with four fail of the line inftead of fir. This would reconcile the different ftatements of numbers. It appears, then, that the whole force of this armament would be twenty-two fail of the line, fourteen Frencb and eight Spann. His MAJZSTY has given dirations for the town gaol, fituated in St. Alban's-ilreet, Windfor, dire*. before the Manfion fitting up for the young Printers of WALES, to be pulled down, and another to be built in George-ftreet, at his own expence, the foundation of which was laid on Saturday.

The tali Monieturs contain two curious notes, one upon the rumour of the Queen of Etruria having been folicited to accept of Prince Elwin, Blau sue note in marriage ; and the fecond upon BONAPARTei genealogy. In the firft note it is contended, that the 1 idea of marrying the Prince to the Queen, with a. view to getting poireiGon of Etruria is abfurd, be canfe her Welty having children cannot carry with her the kingdom as her dowry. In the fecond note the recurrence to Boaisraara's genealogy is ritti culed, and we are told that we ought not to go farther back into the hiftory of the Bonearra family than the lith Brucipire.
