Captain Cone, of the Hoop Sally, nine days from Thomatte, informs us, that two days before he left that port, a Britifh fleet of nine fail; including Into' of the line and frigates, left Barbadoes, to make an attack upon Curacoa.

' Captain Roes, of the fchooner Difpateh, who ar rived at New York on Wcdnefday morning, in 18 days, from Trinidad, informs, that General Mt• a ANDA had been again at that Mend ; thztt he receiv ed a reinforcement of Britint Officers, and three (hips of war, and then proceeded to the Main. Two days before Captain Rost failed, difpatches had arrived, announcing that the expediti in had effefted a landing on the Main, and that two battles had been fought, in one of which boo Spaniffi fuldiers had been killed. It was thit the inhabitants of the country were daily Rocking to hdraartoa's flandard, and no doubts were entertained at Trinidad that the expedition would be futeefsfol.

Their inten tions were trutirated in confequence of a quarrel between the two chiefs, or ringleaders. Twelve of the infurgents are in cufludy, and will be tried in few days. WASHINGTON. OCTOBER 27.

Intelligence to this eff:49 has, we underfland, been received officially by Go- vernment this morning, brought by a MelTenger who has arrived from the Continent. The precife nature of the difpatehes not having been (offered to tranfpire, we can Rate nothing refpeeling what may have been agreed upon between there powers ; but from the complexi,,n of the 3oth Bulle in laid before our Readers yeflerday, it is plain that a Treaty of Peake cannot have beets concluded, for the Spanilk, Dutch, and French colonies, taken by this country, have not been telinquillsed. We are therefore vet y much in clined to believe that the intelligence we communi cated yeflerday, of the Paris journals of the sill uk. containing the particulars of an ■rraifice between the Vrer.ch and Proffians, will turn out to be corral.

The report is again revived that the Cadiz fleet had ventured to fea and was brought to aelion by Lord CULLINGWCN u, who had captured or deffroyed the greater part of them. There is no truth in this report. It firft appeared in the liamburgh CorrAY,se (kw of the t ath ult. in a letter of the B . lk from the Hague, where it was circulated " on tMYattdi or it y of a neutral 'die' from London !" We interted this in the STAR of Thutftlay hall, and now it has travelled back again to London as frefh intelligence. Even if it did n.w catty its own refutation along with it, we have other accounts, which prose that it cannot poilibly be true. The Clumsy (loop, which has arrived .tt Plymouth, has brought difpat..hes from Lot d Ct.t.cimownrin of the i ath ult. which were publifhed ir. LIR night!s Gazette. The GANNIT left his Lordlitid of Cadiz on the i 7th ult. watching the Spamilb fleet, confining of twelvelisilof the line, which it was known were ready for tea, as we hated forge weeks ago, and watching for an oppottunity to fail. The GANNET, on her palliz,e home, eaptuted a Spa• , -:-- sant privateer, and recaptured a treffel bound 'rout Newlotutdlaad to •Oposto.—(See tier Nautical In•I `By his Majelly's armed 114 neptarte, arrived at Portfasouth from the Cape of Good Hope and Sr. Helena, we have received the full particulars of the captttre of the Warren Haftings EaR Indiaman by ' the Piemonte;le French frigate of 46 guns, after a moR gallant refinance. To the eternal difgrace of the enemy, they nabbed in cold blood leveret of the brave officers, after tivyted fierremlereel to them thefilip. The pardeelars, which we have given from the St. Helena Gazette, will be found highly interoillng.— Captain Lastara and his Officers are on their return, by way of America. The news from the Cape or Good Hope is altogether unimportant. We hay: received a letter from an Officer on board Commodore Kaar's fquadron off Rochefort, dated the 18th ult. from which we extras the following ;mirage Our fquadron cenfills at prefent of fix fail of the line, two frigates, and fome (mailer veffe/s. We frequently fee the enemy's fleet in Barque Road: it confide of five fail of the line, and three corvettes all ready fur fea, and at tingle anchor. From the in formation we have received, there is no doubt of their intention to put to fea, in order to join fome other of the enemy's fquadrons ; and we ate of courfe all in high fpirite on the occeflon. At Bourdeaux, the enemy have only two frigates; but at Cadiz, we un der fiend, they are in confiderable force." The Alpha, HUTTO*, which arrived at Harwich on Monday from Cuxhaven, brings iutelligerxe that the French have entered that place. The vac! left Cuxhaven in fuch halle, that the was obliged to leave all her papers behind. Sunday night lad arrived at GI imlby the armed (hip Providence from the Baltic, and the Prince Wil liam from the Elbe, with convoys. The Prince Wil. iiam has brought in fir reads bound from Bourdeaux for Hanburgh. Very fortunately, (he alto fell in with the Snipe gun brig and convoy, which had failed for Tonningen, and the whole have in confequence returned Cafe to the Humber. The London convoy is alfo fife off that river, where the Charles armed thip, with a convoy from the Baltic, is daily expelled. American Papers to the 7th of lag month have reached us, from which we have extrafted whatever was important. If the reports of Mailers of vale's are to be relied upon, MI has renewed his at. tack on the Spanifh fettlements, under much more favourable aulpices than his late attempt was made. He is laid to have landed in the beginning of Ortnber with encreafcd numbers, under the proteeticn of foam 13IiiiIII Chips of war, and to have defeated the Spa. niards, with confiderable loti on their part, in two engagements. It would afford us much fatisfaaion to have this intelligence properly authenticated. An expedition, it Ibould Teem, has been fitted nut from Come of the Weft India iflands again(' Cut ave. According to the report of an American Mailer, the magnitude of it is fufficient to enfure its fuccefs. The Hun. DAVID MINITAGDI El SKIN 1, tie f3t itifh bliniiter to the United Stales, bad arrived in America, and was moR cordially received by the Prefident. A couliderable degree of anxiety, or cur iofiry ra- ther, appears to prevail in New York and other towns, refpeeing the condua which the Government will ob. ferve towards the in:porters of Br itifh manufaOures. The non importation law was to commence on the sgtb ult. and as the Prefidera was nut jPetificallir vetted with the power of lufpending it, the Enrazie IR that country—thofe who ficken at the profpetity and hate the name of Britain—are for pulping mat ters to the utmoll, and exailing the full pnalty of the Aa of Legifiation. As the meeting t f Congrefs cannot take place loon enough to revile this hely proceediag, it will be teen whether Prefident Jar • mune will have &math enough to let himfelf againfl tie popular current, and fufpend the operation of the law, pulling to the justice and wildom of that Al. trembly for fubfequent indemnity.
