TIMM/MON OF THE ROYAL ORDZR FOR THE DE LIVERY OF THIS PROVINCE, VI Z. "I have received the ft:Mousing information from the Minifier M War," by a paper of the ttth current, the Seignior Don Pedro Cr/alias raid to me what follows.-- The King having ceded to the French Republic the Colony or Province of Louillana, with the extent that it actually has, and as it was rofreffed b. the French when they ceded It to his Catholic Mayfty, I communicate to you the Royal Order, that dirpofition may be made for the delivery of the (aid Province to the French Commaary or Commilliries, who for this cffed (hall prefent themUves, with due authority from the Govern ment of the Paid Republic; which Royal refolution I havc trent mitted to the Captain-General of Loutfiana, advertifing him, that it was alio the will of the King in what ravels fixed Regiments, and wher veteran troops, which garrifon that Pro. wince, that the ineividuals that voluntarily with to remain un- I der the dominions of his Majerty, may pars (the delivery of the Province being made) to the Havannah, where they will re olive their deftioation. communicate to F AA this Royal Order, that you may con e= in what retinas you, to the accompliihment of this (ove rt:len determination.—G o prchrve you many years. Madrid, July 30, aoa. SOLZII. New ORLFANS, JAN ;G.—The fchooner Adven ture being ready to Fail, I have thought it would be fatisfadory to you to be acquainted as early as poffible with the refult of our embalry. From what I have been able to learn, I believe the an fwer of the Intendant to the Miniller on the fubje& of the depofit has been very laconic. As foon as the difpatcbes were delivered to the Intendant, he briefly returned him for anfwer, that what he had done mull remain fo till contrary orders were re ceived. The French have not made their appear ance among us, and a report is now gaining ground that they never will. Indeed we have been amufcd lately with the hope of a negociation being on foot, by which Louifiana was to come into the hands of America. Trade here is in a very embarraffed hate, in confequence of the fcareity of call'. Cot ton. the principal article of our export, is now felling at fifteen, fugar, si and fix dollars. Every thing cite is in proportion low. It is fufficient to mention that Claret of an excellent quality has been lately fold fo low as fifteen dollars a calk. NATOIIII. JAN- 20.1 . 0 give you a further proof of our aggrieved fituation, I will only ftate, that a parcel of cotton arrived at New Orleans; bein* damaged, it was neceltary to repack it be fore it was (hipped. The goods were landed, by paying fix per cent. duty. and cannot be re-fhip ped without paying fix per cent. more as Spanith produce on board a Spanifh bottom. This rule will hold good in all cafes where a landing is made. 'lra that 700,000 men will not wait till all the forms of negociation are gone through with Bow• AAAAA and the Court of Spain. VVe can now get the whole province without (bedding a Tingle drop of blood, but let the French get there and it will be otherwife. I have it in my power to (late, that the fortifications at New Orleans are in no fort of repair, and that there are no effedive troops in the province. The town duty is now done by the militia; and they, from one end of the province to the other, are in a (late of revolt. In my opinion. 3,000 militia would put the United States in poffeffion of the province, without the kali difficulty or danger. NEW YORK, MARCH 14.—Advices have been received by Mr. Cocaz, Senator for Teneffee, ex preffive of the utmoil confidence in the general Government, and the determination of the people to fuffer a partial evil rather than create usirverfal diflrefs, till the refult of the 'matures taken fhould be known. Captain Beals, of the brig Polly and Mary, arrived at Baltimore on the 6th, in 18 days from Aux Cayes, (late., that no reinforcements had ar rived there from France. The Blacks had grown very formidable, and were at one time in pail ofAucAucance, but a fortie was made againa them, and they were obliged to fly with lots. The fiagnation of bufinefs of all kinds was exceffive. " It was rumoured IA night at Walliington," lays the Baltimore Federal Gazette, U that an agent from the people of the Florida,, fecretly chofen and veiled with full powers, had waited on the Prefident of the United States to negociate for the illation of that country with the federal union.— It was Paid that he was further authorized to de clare to the Prefident that although they felt a Throng preference for this Government, yet fooner than come under the Gallic yoke, or longer re main under a monarch too feeble to proted them, they would, fhould their application to this Govern anent be ineffe,ftual, apply to a Government ready and able to protect them." Capt. SPOORTER, of the tchooner Harvey, from Havanna!), llates, that the day previoully to his failing a (hip belonging to Philadelphia left that place for Cape Fr.tticoi% with a number of blood bounds to hunt the Blacks. The French frigate which (Ailed a few days before, and on hoard of which a reinforcement of this kind of warriors was laid to be embarked, bad a confiderable number of Spaniffi troops on board, but no bounds. CAFE FAA mcoas, Fs a. p.—As all the bad news which goes from this Ifland is very much exagge rated. I embrace with pleafure an opportunity, dit cadet Bolton, to give you an account of the affair which happened a few days pall on the Mountains, diredly at the back of the Cape.— About the nth infi. it was reported in town that' the brigands were colleßing on thofe mountains, and intended to defcend, then to attack and enter tbi Cape s the report was looked spas as atilt:di (feeling oceans very thong), confectently not attended to. The sth inft. at about three in the i morning, we were awoke by the fire of the muf ketry. and bon difeovered that the Brigands had attacked the habitation Meheye, where there was a (mall poll, and two other places equally near to the town. Meheye and Defobrie were loon let bre to ; but no more mifchief was done, except the lob' bf one officer and three or four men on our fide the brigands then fled, and have not beet teen in the mountains fusee. The next morning, about the fame time, our troops of the line only.made a fnrtie into theplain with the dragoons of the Cape, met the main body of the brigands, commanded by Ci.saysavx and CIIIIIIITOPNE, gave them battle, and, completely routed them. Upwards of zoo blacks were found dead upon the field; we had 55 or so wounded, and very few killed. A Captain of herfe in the General's gar& d'honnestr, woundedCLa&viays in fingle combat. and would haze taken him but for a mu fket• ball which (truck him in thegroin and threw him tom his bode. General ROCHAMSEAV left this about ten days ago, with about zoco freth troops, which will doubdefs hop the progrefs which the brigands are making in the fowls. We are in daily expedation of very large reinforcements that have failed from different parts of France. General ROCHAMBEAII is indefatigable in his exertions, very brave, and his name only is terrible to the blacks. While he was here with lefs force than we now have, we raw nothing of the enemy. Since our arreftation, the American commerce has been put upon the fame footing as the French, except only higher import duty ; and we have been repaid the money we were forced to lend. CHARLESTON, FEB. 25,-.ACCOIMtS from the Havannall itate,that veffcls were about to fail from thence to take the Spanish garrifon from New Or leans and convey it to St. Augultine; and that the former place was to be delivered up to the French, as a frigate, having on board a Colonial Prefea, and a number of Officers, had arrived at New Orleans to take poffeftion of it for France.

The failure of the negoclation for the return of Mr. Parr and Lord Matvit.ta into power' has given rife to many very contradietory ru. mours : moil of them, however, may be eafily traced to party bias, and, from their complexion, their particular parents may be afcertained without much difficulty. According to one party, the queflion was re ♦uced to a conteß, whether Mr. PITT or Mr. An. Distoros should be Prime Miniller ?—and Mr. SHERIDAN was to be Secretary at War (why not a Treafurer of fome kind ?) Mr. Yor.R was going to Madrid, and Lord Mote♦ and Mr. Thaws, were on the point of taking refponfible fittiations.— What a hodge podge of incongruities ? and what a pity that any quarrel fhould have hindered Mr. SHER In/Ws advarcement! Another report is, that in the fcramble fur power Mr. Pirr wi(hed to bring in the Casa vusts, but Mr. ADOINGTON WOUld not confent— Mr. ADDINGTON malted to bring in Lord Ross. LYN, and Mt. PITT would not confent ; and hence it is inferred, that Mr. PITT will now cipoufe the politics of the Gas Nytt.t.e party. We flail loon fee what truth there is in this inference, for Parlia ment meets this evening, and parties mtal fpeedily arrange themfelves in fome way or other. A third flatement is, that 4 , Mr. PITT, upon being applied to, declined entering into any details upon the general lubjeft of arrangement, unlefs he Mould be called upon by the highell authority; but declared his opinion, that fhould he be called upon, he fhould feel it his duty, under the prefent circumftances of the country, to propofe the for mation of an Adminiftration upon an enlarged fcale."—No one can millake whci are here intend. ed, but why no names? becaufe the pliant reporters had got fome new reafon for avoiding the epithet blood houndt employed a few days ago ; and they now " regret that arl eirtinwiente fhould deprive the Nation of the Cervices of fo eminent a man, as Mr. PITT, at fuch a time." The Pimple matter of fah is, that Lard Mai.- TILLS has failed in fome part of his calculation. Thofe who know him bet, however, know that this will not difcourage him fiom repeating the attempt. He has the Were of bu canary too much at kart to relax in his exertions to fcrve it. We have receive.' American Papers to the r6th of March. A Letter of the riSth of jannary, from New Orleans, bad brought information of the arrival of the feh , )oner Adventure at that port with difpatehes from the American Government to the Spanills IntLn.la.it, and of its having again failed within a very few hours, with anferen to thole difpatches. The atawcrs were not ttt►derßood to have been fa "burgle. The Fivueb bad not at.that time taken ' r thud poffeMon of New Orleans. The American Congrefs adjourned, Jar Le, on the 3d of March la(!, after adopting, in regard to Louifiana and New Orleans, the propofitioas of Mr. Baacaswasnosj by which meafures of pre paration for hoftaity are indeed ordered, but the Prefident Is left to att at his oirn difcretion in the whole affair. Eighty thoufand of the Militia of the SLIM are to be immediately detached to aft as a general army, if it &all be necelfary to attack the poffeffions of Louifiana. One million five hundred thoufand dollars arc appropriated for the expenditure of this fervice, 25,000 dollars are ap propriated for the eflabli(hment of arfenals on the Weftern Waters. A very firong remonftrance was tranfmitted to Mr. Davis, at Warrington, from the State of Kentucky ; but it was not re ceived till after Mr. BRACE EN BR IDG l'S propofitions had been adopted, otherwife the bolder propofi tions of Mr. SMITH would, it was thought, have been preferred, It is underftood, that an Agent from the people of the two Floridas had waited on Mr. JEFFszsots, with full powers to treat for an acceffion of chore provinces to the American Union. They threatened, it is laid, if JEFFERSON fhould refufe their offers, to put themfelves under the protection of Great Britain. The inhabitants of Kentucky, in expedation that the Congrefs would refolve on immediate hoftilitics with Spain, had taken anus to the number of to,ooo. Above 5c,000 dollars bad been contributed, by voluntary fubfcription, for the neceffary expense. They bad encamped. Boys appeared in the camp with labels in their hats, War, and no Dantraes. Mr. Jantaa son, in great alarm, wrote to foothe their impa tience, till the iffue of the Negociation by Mr. Mosta° s might be finally known. It was under flood that the fortifications of New Orleans were' in a ruinous, indefenfible (late, and that goon men from Kentucky might eafily take the place. —The total value of the commodities which the Anglo Americans fend annually down the Mal: fippi, exceeds 4,ooo,ooodollars.—The exportation was performed in 250 veffels, of aso tons burthen each. Several men of great confequenee in the Weflern States, among whom were Colonel Joan BLEB, and Sir WILLIAM Dos mass, were lately moft vexatioufly injured, in the exportation of the produce of their eftates, by the Spaniatds at Ncw Orleans. The Congrefs paffed 35 different AEts during its SdEon. Its next meeting is expelled to be on the firft Monday of November next. In feveral of there papers it is mentioned that the people of Kentucky are determined not to wait the refult of negociation, but immediately march to difpoEcfs the Spaniards of New Orleans. The honfe in Wen Square, St. George's Fields, on which the Telegraph is ereeted, was yeßerday purchafcd by Government for the ufe of the people belonging to that Ration, and therefore the Tele graph wal not be removed, as was formerly pro- pofed. Yefterday morning fix of the field-pieces, be longing to the Foot Guards, were drawn out in St. James's Park, and the men exercifed for a conli derable time in the different artillery manoeuvres. The Correfpondence is very frequent between the different Port Admirals and the Admiralty Board—fo much fo, that when fog prevents the Telegraph from working, Meffengers are dif patched, independently of the Pon. Lnrd Nst,ime is not vet appointed to any corn , mand. Lieutenant H. T. Y. Passim, was yefierday ap- pointed to the CANOPUS, of Ito guns. The AUTUMN, of t 4 guns, at Plymouth, is or dered to undergo Come repairs, and to be got ready for foreign fervice. The Olarm sus, of 33 guns, and UNICORN ' of is gnus, are ordered to be taken into do c k at Portfmouth, in order to be examined, and are to be got ready for Ica as loon as poffible. The wages to the (cameo, paid o ff at Deptford and Woolwich, belonging to thofe !hips which have lately returned from the EMI Indies, amount ed to tool. per man. We are lorry to fiats that Sir E.

DR URY•LAIIIITNIIATRI..•.The &mations of the new Comedy, 7&e Afarrive Prossili, proved laft night irrehflible, and the audience was both more numerous and fafhionable than on the firit repre fentation. By the Mercury, arrived at Philadelphia from Trinidad, we learn, that the inhabitants of that iOand are ander great apprehenflon of the riling of the Negroes—that a new Governor arrived there about two months ago ; and the Es Governor, it was raid, was to be Tent to England in a frigate, lying at Trinidad, being accit.ed of imprifoning many of the merchants and others, for a confide rabic time, without cvat alleging any crime agaiall thee.
