A New York paper of Feb. a, Rates that a letter bad been received there from St. Croix, dated loth January, which fays, 4 , A have juft learnt that the Rochefort fquadron with the Cork fleet is their poi faffion, have been fallen in with by Admiral Sale- Limo, and the whole of them captured. Fifteen fail bf the above Seet have already arrived at Barba does." We need hardly add, that the above is founded in ems miftake, as we know that tke whole of the Cork Sea has reached Barbados,, except four or five hips. &fides. Admiral Simian. could not have been in that quarter. The Princes Charlotte packet, Capt. beta, has arrived at Falmouth with a mail from Tortola, after plunge of tbirtyfive days : the left Admiral Duce. Wearies fquadron at St. Kitt's. No French (qua. drop bad arrived is thole feu t Admiral Comaars in the Northessberland, with his Majefty's Slips Prise& Charlotte. Amelia, Nom ind /khans, were off Martinique on the ad January. 'the Windfor CAI! patlet, fa Jamaica, had arrived at Barbadoes. The Barents of Saturday contains tome topple. tasatirk information refpefting the capture of the Caps of Good Rope. According to private letters Oar faMets.in that quarter was great beyond all that askd have lien hoped. Had the enemy continued rithin their lines, Mated of quitting them to meet bar troops, the capture mull have been extremely tedious, and it was the opinion of our abkt officers thpi a force of so thoufand men could not now re al* the place. The news of this capture may fur. MA Bon with tome frtih obfervations on the (Illicit of " Ships, Colonies, and Commerce." This fettkment once more in our point ion will, we trod; remain with us for ever. Its value is bow much better known than it was when laft ceded to the butch. It was very con ently reported yellerday, that an brertore had been received from the French Govern ment, tending to a negociation between the two countries. There is no truth in the report, which has probably atifen from the circumllance of a com munication having been received by the Tranfport Board, by way of Morlaix, on Saturday, which, however, is fuppofed to have related foltly to the Ibufinefs of an exchange of prifoners. It will be reconciled, that about two months ago, Captain Martians, %Tittle strvt's Captain, taken yapper at Trafalgar, was fent over the bearer of Come new propofal of our Government, refpeding the eftabliffiment of a cartel. We knew not what progrefs has been made in this affair, but, probably, much Rill remains to be done, and It will be Tome time before the Public can know the rank. A Cabinet Council was held yefterday at Mr. rox% Office. It was not followed by the fending off df any Mellinger, which would probably have been the cafe, had any overtures of the kind reported been received by Government. Since our IA four Gottenburgb Mails have ar rived. By there we learn, that Come pmpofals have been made to RufGa by the Court of Berlin, which have for their objet the re.eflablifhment of a general peace on the Continent, the balls of which mull be the acknowledgment on the part of France of the inde pendance of the whole North of Germany. It Is, however, underliood, that the Emperor A AAAAA 0111 will liflen to no terms, in any negotiation, in which France is a party, until formally rcleafed from his engagements with England.
