Tick. in The letters by the Jamaica Mail of yeßerday, are entirely fluent refpeeting any thing like an infurreaion among the negroes, as was reported Come time ago. It appears now to have owed its origin, like many other falfe reports that have lately been circulated, to the fruitful ingenuity of certain prints which fecm to take a delight in &Rion. The printed Papers to the moth of July prefent but little news, if we except the mention now and then of captures from the enemy. Every thing was per feetly tranquil when the packet failed. Among the prizes carried into Jamaica, during the time the Cwarrsanato lay there, were la Vi gilante, French brig corvette, of 16 guns, taken by la Ellicott (chooser les Dens Amis, and Sloop Blepa, cut out of Jeremie by the boats of the Tatum ; Skip lea Q2atre Amis, from Aux Cayes, bound to Nance Chip la Define, in banal i fehooner la Mere de Famille, laden with flour, bound to Jeremie, alfo taken by the THESEUS ; fchooner les Deux Sceurs, laden with clothing for the French troops at Cape Nicola Mole, taken by the VANGUIIRD. Three days after the CHESTERFIELD left Jamaica, She fell in with an American (hip, who informed them that they had been boarded by the CUMEERL•ND, of 74 guns, Commodore BAYNTUN, who informed them that the fquadron had taken a French (hip, of 74 guns, and that part of the Squa dron were gone in Chace of another fhip of the fame force. By letters from Jamaica, it appears, that the fquadron under Sir Joan Ducswoara has captured the following enemy's fbips, etc.—The Creole fri gate, la Mignione corvette, l'Aiguille brig, Vigi lante ditto, Lodi ditto, Superieufe fchooner, and le Poifon Volant ditto. The Lodi was boarded aad carried in the moll gallant roomier by the ILlcooti brig, Capt.l3issErv, dole to the French batteries. The Creole had 800 men on board, including foldiers. One of the &boo sters was from Cuba, and had too blood hounds on board. The CHISTRILYIELD packet arrived at Jamaica on 16th of July, and failed from thence on the sad. She brings advice that the homeward bound fleet was appointed to fail from Port Royal on the s4th of July, under convoy of a line of battle Chip and a frigate. They intended going through the Gulph. On the scth.of Auguß, in lat. 31. long. 66. the paired a large sect, fuppofed to be the Leeward Mend fleet. On Tuefday evening the paffengers who failed from Dover on Saturday with an intention to proceed to Calais, were brought to Dover from Romney, under the care of two officers of the Cuf toms. They had been at Calais, but were not per mined to land.—A Spanifhlinger who was is the above veal, was alto compelled to rev.mbark, A report was circulated yeilerday, that accounts bad been received of Borstals' having been affaffi sated s it was even Paid, that a perfon arrived at Do ver had made oath before a Magiftrate of the truth niche intelligence, which, on enquiry, turns out to have been altogether unfounded. We can Rata however on good authority that ac counts which may be relied upon have been received within tbefe two days from France, Rating, that notwithitanding the apparent implicit fubmiffion of the French to their tyrant, the people in general are Iro highly incenfed againft the Government, that a commotion may be expeCted to take place on the firil occafion that (hall promife any poffibility of fuccefs. The fame want of faith with the public creditors, which has been experienced by thofe who were weak enough to advan:e money for bills drawn on the Go sernment from St. Domingo, has been experienced by the eitivots creditors who were employed to furnifls Rotes, build boats, kc. to enable the FIRST Corset. to execute his darling plan of invafion. The treafury is literally empty, and the only hope or chance he now has to rcplenifh it and re-ellablifh public credit, is from the plunder be expeas to derive from the conqueß of Britain. Whatever doubts may be entertained of the pro baliility of an ;firearm, we can confidently (late that the intention of the FIRST CONSUL remains unthaken as to this point. He has lately augmented his forces in a very confiderable degree. The igno. ranee of the French, from the Prefs being altogether - under the direction of the Government, has rcrdered the war, and the prnjell of invafion, popular Lush with ate people and thefoldicry. Indeed our Government appears to be fo well aware of the probability of that event, that not only the plan under the direEtion of the Trinity Houle, for &caring the Thames, (which tee announced fume days ago) is immedi ately to be proceeded upon ; but the Sea Fencible, ale to be organized in the molt formidable manner. For the further fccurity of the metropolis, a meafure (which was fume time fince mentioned as intended) sow atwi ted, aa‘l even begun to be tut in caccu tion, tehieh will elleftnally rote& it, OA the catkin fide, for an extent of nearly twenty miles. A dam is to be conftruded on the Lea River, which will enable Government. on the fltorteit notice of the landing of the enemy, to overflow the whole valley from near Ware to the Thames, The Surveyors were employed upon the bufinefs on Tuefday lal, and the workmen are expelled immediately to corn• mence their operations, Yefierday we mentioned the arreft of the Rebel General and Member of the Ira Proviltonal Gso vernment, Mr. Russet., This day we infert an. other letter, containing other particulars refpeiling this perfon, whole arreft is undoubtedly of great importance. He was probably entrufted with the chief dircaion of the operations of the difaffeeted. It teems not unlikely that he aged upon tome plan combined with the French Government, and his u rea, either by difclofing that plan or interrupting the chain of communication between the trench Go vernment and the Rebels, may be highly advantage ous to the country. Mr. Roust reftded at Paris till within thole three or four months. He was much in the fociety of French officers of rank ; being a man of intelligence and addrefs, he was highly eonfidered by them. It is certain, however, that there was a moment when he, as well as others of the Irifh exiles, famed to be treated with neglea by the Confular Go verment. Whether this might not have been a feigned difgrace, may perhaps be quellioned. It is evident, at leaft, that on the profpe& of a war, the Irifh rebels, like difbanded foldiers who had been left to languifh in peace, wore loon invited to join the flandard.of the Conful, and they have become in fait Lir 9 Army of England." The late infurredion was indeed Co rafts and premature a bufinefs, that it ap pears improbable that it could have been planned and direeted by a man of ability. What were Mr. Rus tles immediate views it is impoffible to conjeaure. That he was fent by his confederates and by the French Government to organize rebellion, and to prepare the country to co-operate with a French Army, may eafily be credited. Nothing but loch a purpofe could at this time have brought Roust to Ireland. We have little doubt, therefore, that not withflanding 411 the vapouring about gun•boats, &c. Ireland is the grand objelt of the French Govern ment, and that a body of troops was to be fent, or will be fent thither, as loon as the weather will afford a chance of a French fquadron reaching the Ira Yellerday, about one o'clock, their Majesties and Princeires Atioosta and ELizaerr it, attended by Lady Stew est., arrived at St. James's fromWindfor.

PORTIMOOTH,Srr r. 3.—This Jay his Royal High- , nefs the Prince of WALES again honoured this port with a viii4which was paid to Admiral Mos-I-antra, the laft being to General Warr-mot. The Prince, with that attention and politenefs which upon all oc cafions is a leading feature of his charaaer, allured the Admiral, when next he came near Portfmouth, he fhould confider himfelf bound to accept his kind invitation, About eleven o'clock his Royal High. nets, accompanied by his Grace the Duke of Merr iman and a number of Military Officers, arrived from Goodwood, the feat of the,Dnke of RICHMOND: immediately upon its being known the Prince was in the neighbourhood, the ftandard was hoilled, the bells were fet ringing, and the lines of the works filled with the foldiery—three regiments of which, who were encamped at Stoke, having been previoufly embarked in the flat-bottomed boats, manned with the Sea Vencibles, croffed to the Portfmouth fide, in order to make a better thew. About half paft eleven the Prince embarked at the New Sally Port, under a royal falute from the batteries, when the aquatic proceflion was concluded in the following order: In the barge of the Britannia his Royal Highnefs the Prince of War-as—Captain the Earl of Noaya ass. Windfor Cattle's barge. Admiral Moirraciu a—Capt. Beeves on the ftarboard quarter of the boat in which the Prince was. On the larboard-quarter, Bear Ad miral HOLLOWAY in his own barge; and the Cap tains of the refpeaive (hips at Spithead, and in Portl. mouth harbour, in their barges in proceffion, Sc. cording to their rank, at 3o yards between each boat: there were followed by Captain E. O'Baiss, at the head of the Sea Fencibles, in their flat boats : on the boats being half way between the (lore and the (hips, a royal falute was given from each (hip, and the flag of Admiral Morrracua removed from the Windfor Caine to the Britannia, the ftandard being boifted on board the former (hip. On the Prince's being re ceived on the quarter deck of the Windfor Caine, that fhip fired a falute of at guns, which was alto given by the other (hips at Spithead, their yards being manned, &c. immediately after which, the fignal for all Captains was made, when they were feverally in troduced to the Prince by the Commander in Chief, Admiral MONTAGUE, and received with the Prince's ufual urbanity of manners. The Sea Fencibles, who made a very rerpeaable thew, being drawn up in a line under the Windfor Cattle's nem. After taking a dejewir with the Admiral, compofed of a choice tot legion of cold viands, feafoned by the great good humour of the Royal Guelt, the ftandard was hauled down, when his Royal Highnefs went in the fame order on board the Magnificent, of 74 guns, Captain paviss,the yards of the different (hips being manned a:. before ; on his Royal Highnefs being on board, the (landard was difplayed by the Magnificent, and a falute of at guns fired from that (hip only. After the Officers of the (hip had been honoured by an in. trodnaion to their Royal Vifitor, and the Prince had taken fomething to the fuccefs of the (hip, the dotta moved in the fame order to the film, receiving a falute again from every (hip, and from the batteries; the boats continued their order of rowing up the harbour, and were received by the (hips fitting, vie, Prince George and Prince's Royal, on the boats par. fing to the King's ftairs, by the Officers and marines drawn up in the gangway. On their landing, the dockyard became a fcene of inveftigation, which arrefted the atten tion of the Prince for a confiderable time ; at the anchor-huufe, he was minute in his infpeaion, and continued to obferve this at plow ultra of the Vulcanean art for near an hour ; to gratify him Rill more, the Royal William, the oldeft (hip in the navy, was got out of the dock into the baron, and the Pandour hauled up in her place, though it was yet low water. His Highnefs expref. fed the higheft fatisfaaion at the promptitude with which all the operations were performed, and retired between five and fin o'clock to the Admiral's houfe to dinner.
