By accounts from Guadaloupe, we learn, that a French frigate, from France, was lately captured and fent into Barbadoes.

The fire of the enemy did little &i -mam in confequence of its being very badly direct ed, but on the 7th one of our gun.boats unfortunately olew up, in confequence of which wc have to lament .he lots of Lieutenant CALDWELL, her Commander, 11r.

ATFACX UPON TRIPOLI. EXTRACT OF ♦ LITTER FROM AN OFFICER OF THE SQUADRON OF THE UNITED STATEE, OFF TRIPOLI, DATED A.UO. 9, 1804. "I received your favour by the frigate john Adams which arrived here yefterday. The wants of the captives at Tripoli have been liberally (applied by Commodore Preble, who not long lince font them a veffel with clothing and a va. ri:ty of other articles, all of which they have re. ceived, athi fe.y they are amply (implied. T,ieir titu scion has been ct:mfortable, as much fo as capqvity will admit of. We have had two aftions with the enemy. Oa the 3d init. they 101 l three of their gun boats, captnied by ours under their battery, and fuf tained contiderable 101 l in men. CM the 7th we horn. barded the town for five hours, when they fultained Igreat damage. Our lots in both was trifling, confi dering what we had to contend with. Bnt lam lor ry to inform you of the lots of Lieut. Caldwell, a brave and excellent officer, who on the 7th was blown up in bis gunboat. The favourable effedt thefe two aftions have had upon the enemy is very risible, and as a communication is to take place tomorrow, there is great hopes that peace will be the conefquence, when our unfortunate countrymen will be tenured to liberty." EXTRACT OF A LTTTFR nom AN OFFICER ON BOARD THE URI TE ETA: LS AR.411.0 BRIG EIMER, BE FORR TRi .. Syren, Aug. 9. iao4. " Co the 16th tilt. we attempted to bring off with our boats, under command of Lient. Caldwell and Mr. Darfev, a final' x effel, but the v did not litcceed, the colletion cf trnuTs for her defence was fo numerous, our boats had to retire with the lois of one man killed and three :everely wounded. The 101 l of the enemy was t ec• killed and wounded, as we, have been informed by a Nlaltefe Captai.:, who was fent in with cloathin , for oar milliners. Commodore Feeble arrived here on the 23'l with the refl of his force, bat on account of the weather we could not attempt any thing until the 24tb, when we anchored in a line before Tripoli, about three miles from the batteries, where we hail not been two hours before we were obliged to get under way, as the wind blew too frelh on Ihore ; but this day it has moderated, and we (hall be able to take our (Winn before their batteries. " The Tripolitans are much di(ireffed at prefent— their crops have failed, and the vigilance of the block ading fquadron has prevented their getting ftipplies from abroad. They have been fortifying themfelves at every point, have removed every thing valuable .1 from the town, and have made, and are (lift making great exertions for its defence. ".The fcene of combat commenced on the 3d ;MI. when the weather became favourable Inc our opera tions, and accordingly, at two o'clock P. M. the lig. 'nal was made to prepare for battle ; at three o'clock we got within gun fnot of the bane' icy, and cast off the gun-boats and bornlnketches. They aeleanced in a line a-head, led on by Capt. Decatur, and en. vered with the Canflitution, the brigs, and fern :onus. The enemy had 17 gun-boats nioore - d in a line in the front of their batteries, alit) a brig of t 5, and a fchooner of to guns, to aid the cover of their boats. The moments were anxious as we advanced—a dif charze of (hells from the bomb-boats induced the enemy to open their fire, which was heavy and ineef fant, yet our brave fellows advanced with all intrepidity through a tilower of grqe (hot, win.n our gun boat nnt wit' in twenty yards of the enemy, they cid - charged their great guns, loaded with forty pounds of nruficet balls ; this was fnllowed with a volley of mo(ketry. This obliged five of the gun boats, corn. poling the enemy's right wintr, to cut their cables and retreat. Our boats then'bore up fur thole to lee ward. Captain Decatur boarded and carted the fiat boat ; Lieut. Trip hoarded and caused. the le cond, and Lieut. James Decatur, in the ail :if carry. ing the third, was killed. Captain. Decatur continued down their lire, and cariled the third, all ci which were fare:). brought off. " - fife att::cle continued one hour and a half, the Ttn k. were driven cut of Port Francaife, and mutt have (offered much from our fire in the town as well as in their batteries. The reafon the enemy's fire did us In little damage was, on account of its being fo badly direded.—The three gun boats taken are ex cellent, two of them carry a twenty-fix pounder each, of brats, and the other an eighteen pounder. Lieu tenant Tale, who carried the feconJ boat, received eleven fabre wounds, but none of them dangerous, and he is likely to do well. On the sth we had the captured boats rigged, and fhculd have returned to the attack, but a small French privateer, finding her birth too warm in the harbour, came out ; by her we learned that the enemy had one gun boat funk, another loft two-thirds of her crew, and all the reit very much fhattered ; they alto informed us, that they were employed all night repairing their da mages, The platforms in their batteries were torn up, and our unfortunate countrymen were employed to repair them. 0 The Commodore fent him back with the wound ed, and the next day he returned with a letter from the French Conful, bearing tlrong marks of a pacific difpolition •, however, the Commodore determined to attack next day to westward. Accordingly to the 7th, at eight A. M. the figaal was made to ad vance in two lines and attack the batteries ; the morn ing was calm and warm, which prevented our get ting in until twelve o'clock, when the enemy opened their fire from their batteries, and in their confufien fired at lea fitly guns without ball. " The bomb boats got their pofition at half pall twelve, and anchored ,• the gun boats got within point blank range, and in a little time difmounted two guns in the wellern battery, and drove out the enemy; a (hell was thrown into battery Francaife, and burft, which filenced their fire for neatly half an hour.—At one P. M. the quarter-deck of the gun boat, No. 9, blew up, by which we have to lament Adele of Lieutenant JAPilts Cacswsu, Connnan.! der, Mr. Doasav, a promiling young Officer,' and eight of her crew. Mr. SPENCE (who was fpung ' log the gun), with Tome others, efeaped unhurt ; they had nearly compleated die hearing of the gun to fire when they found the boat (inking, and the brave fur ' vivinz few gave three cheers as they went down, at k Aid) time we lay two hundred yards from them, and our boats were immediately difpatched and pick ed them up. This caufed a fmall cell:scion of our fire; but it was only momentary, and was renewed with redoubled vigour, and teemed to fay, we will revenge our brave companions. —At five o'clock the fignal of recall was made, and the firing ceded. u We, as in the other affair, have fuffered nothing like what might he calculated on, owing to their bad management : we have loft on this occafion ten men and two Officers, and tome wounded. It is not cer taM whether No. 9 blew up by accident, or by a red hot fhot—that it was caufed by a fhot we have the obfervation of one of the men raved, who lays he felt the flsot ftrike her, bust before he could communicate the circismitance the blew tip ! roe frigate Jlhn Adams joined this day, Augurl 9. By her I received your's of the 26th May and svis June, for which I thank you." . _ AUGUST t s.—From the farne.-4 , I wrote you a long letter on the 9th, informing you of our opera tions on this coati, fince when nothing has occurred. The Bsthaw in his communication has offered peace to us, and the delivcting of prifoners for 150.000 dollars : t oo,coo, I believe, have been offered; but the Bafhaw has declared he will Coffer himfelf to be bu ried in the ruins of his Cattle, or drove into the coun try, rather titan take leis than the t so,ooo.

UPPER CANED*, NOT. 3.41,05 E OF THE SPEEDY.— The following is as accurate an account of the Lofs of the fchooner Spcedy, in his Majelly's fervice, on Lake Ontario, as we have been able to cone/Is— The Speedy, Captain PAXTON, left this port on Sunday evening the 7th of Odober (alt, with a mo derate breeze from the N.W. for Preque Me, and was &Ivied off that Ifland on the Monday follow ing, before dark, when preparations were made for the reception of the patkngers; hut the wind comini; round to the N.

A voluntary fufeription, it is Paid, has been fet on foot, which promifes a powerful fupply in aid of Government. An attack on Gi braltar, it is Hated, will certainly take place early in the fpring.

Letters from our fquadron off Ferrol, dated the ift iuitant ) havc been received.

The effect of this order, it will he obferved, is totally fuperfeded b., the Mandell°, in which the King of SPAIN pro miles to condemn every capture in his Courts of Admiralty, upon the mere proof of its being Englifb property, and abandons the Royal claim to the ufual pal ts of it : " The conduct which the Erglifh have obferved fine the evert of the .ith of Onober, is almoft ittfufferable.

Cadiz, 17 NOl. 1804." We have received American papers to the 6th of Dec-mber. Thcy contain a very long account of the bombar d, meat of Tripoli, by the American (hips of war in the Mediterranean. It appears from documents laid before Congrefs, that the American finances cantinue to improve.— The rum atually exceeding the %opal expenditure ariling from the various articles of taxation, was greater than the whole of the furn to be paid to France for the cellion of the valuable province or Lou:liana. The enimate of the expenditure for this year is not more, under the different heads of Civil Lin, Miliellaneous Services, Expenses of Intercourfe with Foreign Powers, Military and Naval Ellablifh ment, than three millions three hundred and feventy five thoufand, tour hundred, and thirty-fire dollars. It is, at the fame time, calculated, that there will be paid before the dole of the year, feven millions, four huddred and fifty thoufand dollars, applicable to the extinction of debts miring out of conventions exilling betwiit France, England, and the United States. — such is the cheering profpeft which the Americans have before them. Such is the contralt betwixt the expenditure of ,he United States, and that of the fag. tious, turbulent nations of liurope. Letters from Baltimore nate, that Prince Jsaome and his lady left Baltimore in the beginning of De cember, went on board the French fi iqate le Pre& dent, which conveyed the French Ambaffador to Annapolis, with the view of taking their paffage v.) France. But it is neceffiry to acid, that the motions of this frigate were clofely watched by the I:cvdo tionnaire, an Engin frigate of equal force, which anchored in Hampton Roads a day or two after the Fi each frigate entered the harbour. It is much to be queßioned, whether, under theft circumflanceb, Bro:her jiltOrdil would riik a pairage to Europe, and on that account, the report appears the more proba ble that he went on board le Prefident on the 31 of December, but returned to his country fiat on the sth, either from defpair of eluding the vigilance of our blockaah: frigate, and confcioufuefs of what would be the refult of an engagement. There papers (peak of the capture of a French fri gate from Guadeloupe, by one of our cruizers, which carried the prize into Barbadoes. The frigate is Paid to have been taken after a fevere engagement. The Captain of an American veal, arrived at Be ton about the end of November, from Martinique, Rated politively, that for fome time previous to his failing, the blockade of all the principal ports of that illand had been diccontinued. Great numbers of American veffels patted through our cruizers with out moleliation, and even where an appearance of the blockade was kept up, they fuffercd little or no interruption. Congrefs, it appears, is about to frame a variety of regulations refpeeting the mode in which the com mercial intereourfe with the black empire in St. Do mingo is to be carried on. The advarvages which the United States will derive from this trade mull, for a confiderable time, at leatt, prove very eaten live, and no doubt all pains will be taken to render it as lucrative,and as little dangerous as potlible from any bidden difplay of caprice or cruelty on the pan or the Black Government. The Upper Canada Gazette of the 3d of Mr:ern her, contains an account of a very dillrefling (hip wreck on the lake Ontario.
