DUCZWORTN, K. B. dated of the town of St. Domingo, on the 7th and Bth ultimo, giving an ac. count of his having, on the 6th of that month, dif covered a fquadroa of French (hips, confifting of five fail of the line, (one of them, l'lmperiale, of three decks) two frigates, and one corvette, at an chor in the Bay of St. Domingo, which, with Se fqnadtoo under his command, conlifling of (even fail of the line, two frigates, and two Hoops, he lame diately attacked, and after an edition of two hours, be entirely defeated. "Three Chips of the enemy's line fell into his hands, and two (including the three-decker, bearing Rear• Admiral La 51101.103 flag) were driven on fhore-in a &fabled !late, and afterwards taken poffeffion of and burned. The frigates and corvette elicited their cfcape. i‘ The killed and wottnded on board the enemy's Sips is fuppofed to exceed twelve hundred men ; one flip loft three hundred. The lofs in his Majefty's (hips, in killed and wounded, amounted to three bun dred and thirty-eight. No Britilli Officer was killed. The Honourable Captain Srorroao was !lightly, and Lieutenant 811Y1401.11t, of the Noe rnoweeeLans, (which flip fuffered the moll in the adion,) fcverely wounded ; but the latter is fince recovered, and ar rived in the Kreolvismta. • o The Vice Admiral had proceeded with his prizes to Jamaica." Sr. Domingo is the capital of the Spanills part of St. Domingo, and the chief remaining refuge of the French. The fquadron teems to have been fent out partly with a view to the relief of the French troops there.—lf in this aflion it could not be thought that triftory would long remain doubtful, yet the impor tance of it is very great. The public mind is relieved from fome part of the apprehenfion which the nume- roes detachments of the enemy, at fen, have naturally produced. On the receipt of the above news the Park and Tower guns were fired. We hope tome of one other fquasirons will prove as fhilunate in difcnvcring the other naval detach ment, the enemy have fent to fea, as Sir Joust Duca wraru ;:as been. It is hai-dly to be thought that any mare of th.m h ive gone to flit Well Indies. Adinn.l Sir JOH 1,1 D LICK WORT H Wed Irum Off 3 I .

Ajax. • On the astli and 26th of December, ke Aided a Trench fquadron of fix fail of the line and{ a frigate, without being able to come up with thorn. After looking into the Cape de Verdes, not finding. the enemy them, he detaChed one of his th;ps, we believe the Powsarut, to India, with the irtelli gence, and proceeded direr to Birbadoes with the remaining five (hips of the line. Being there joined by Admiral COClfill4llll, in the NORTHUM together with the ATLAS, he procTeded to cruize off Martinique, in order to intercept the enemy ; but intimd of going thither, they went direst for St. Do mingo through the Mona pafage ; thus avoiding all chance of difcovery in the Leeward Mande. The enemy had arrived near three weeks before the ar rival of Sir Josue Ducxwoarn, and had landed Tome military reinforcements for General F , th e French Commandant in the City of St. Domingo.— The intelligence of the enemy's arrival was fire corn municated to Admiral Doczwoavir by Capt. Coca- Rana, of his Majelly's Blip Kw:serail ea, who watched them till be law them anchor in the Bay of St. Domingo, and immediately proceeded to give the information to Admiral Ducxwoarn, who, with Admiral Cocalass, loft no time in proceeding againft the enemy. On his arrival off St. Domingo, on the 6th ult. he found the enemy's f%uadroo at anchor, whole Admiral had that morning made great preparations for too elegant gkjewa? to be given to the Governor and principal Merchants of the town. In this &nation were the enemy, when the attack was commenced by Admiral Cocnaaia on the French Admiral's Ihip l'lmperiale, which, after lofing one hundred of his brave crew, be facceeded in driving oa (hors. This gallant Officer was expofed to immi nent peril during the anion, and bad his hat blows; off by the wind of a cannon ball. The anion Idled only two hours, and the resit, as we have already Rated, proved eminently glorious to the Britilk flag. The anion, we nnderfland, took place about three miles and a half from (bore, in the bay of St. Do. ening° ; and had not the wind let in, the whole of the enemy's fleet mull have been in our poffeffion.— The French Admiral, when he cut his cable's, tried tb make for Ocoa, a bay to the Weftward of the bay of St. Domingo, but was cot off by our fqoadron.

We were on the point of failing for England, when we received intelligence of the enemy, by the KINGSFISHai. A Danifh fchooner, that had been taken in tow by the French fquadron. arrived at St. Thomas's, off which the Kincrsristr to was eruiring, and gave information of them to her, and ? molt fortunately, fbe got a weft. erly wind, proceeded to St. Kitt's, and found our brave Admiral, who, you may be Pure, went home& ately in qncil of the enemy. On the 6th of February, we difcovered them, three leagues off the town of Qt. Domingo, where, we have fince learned, they bed landed isoo men. Having intelligence of our ap. proach i they weighed anchor, and Rood to windward to (better themfelves under the fort of Aux Cayes.— We inßantly attacked them, and, after a fmarteake of two hours and a qlarter, completely defeated them. We captured the three following fhipc : Jupiter, 74 guns; Diomede, 74, and Alexander, 74. L'lmperiale, of 540 guns ; and le Braave, of 80, we drove on fhcre, and burnt.

It is. however. not improbable. that pewee Boaaraara's fquadron may be alfo bound for the Welk Indies, in which event it is feared the French frigates, which effaled their efcape, may have proceeded to apprize him of ;.s &razes defeat." " PCIALTSMOIITH, MAICN 22. 44 This evening the Kracsrisnal Hoop arrived from the Wen Indies, having on board Captain COCHRANE, charged with difpatches from Admiral Sir JOHN Ducxweare, with which he landed, and let off immediately for London. By this sip we have received the pleating and important intelligence of 1 1 the defeat of a French fquathon, on the 6th February, of St. Dosningo,confifling of the Jupiter, Diomede, and Alexander, of 74 guns ; the Irtiperiale t2O ; and Brave 80.

Other accounts Rate, that all differences between Pruffia and France have been definitively fettled ; and we have reafon to think, abet the terror of the French arms has, for the prefent, induced Pruffia to fubfcribe to all the humiliating conditions prefcribed by France. The report is revived, that jlamburgh is immediately to be occupied by a Ruffian garrifon. The naval preparations in the Dutch ports are carried on with the uttnoll The deficit in the revenues of the Batavian Republic for the prefent year exceeds twenty-three millions, which is to be made good by new taxes. The province of Calabria is hid to have been completely over-run by the French, who were making great preparations for the invafion of Sicily. The Sicilians, animated by the prefenca of the Bridal troops under Sir J. Caa te t were employed in the molt vigorous meafures for their defence. Letters by the Gottenbargh Mail of Saturday alfo mention the conclufion of a Treaty of Alliance, of. fenfive and defenfive, between Ruffin and Proffia. Sweden and Denmark are augmenting their naval and military forces, and a Ruffian fquadron of fix fail of the line is &ray expelled in the Sound.
