THE LORD MAYOR. 0 Dowsing-ftreet.Nov. 14.—One P. M. " Mr Loa°, " I have :he honour to acquaint your Lerch:hip, that I have a this moment received the Intelligence of the furrender of So rinam, and of the colonies of Demarara and Effequitao, on the qth " a September, to his Majefty's Forces under the command of " General GRIN ria LD and Commodore HOOD. " I have the honour to be, &c.&e. HOIA•T." This important acquifition was foon after an nounced to the public, by the firing of the Park and Tower guns. The recovery of Demarara mull be •highly plealing to many of our merchants, who em barked a large capital there during the laft war. On the fubjeel of this rapture, the following article appeared in the Barbac.oes Mercury, of the :7th of September laft. " Samos-Tows, Srvr. 27.— WC had the falisfac tion, in the latter part of our editicn on Saturday laft (having flopped the Prefa for that purpofe) to an nounce the furrender of the colonies of Demerara and Effequibo to the Britith arms ; advices of which were brought by the Supply difpatch boat; but we do not learnthat any official communication,as ha: akvap ken 41entary, was forwarded to his Excel'ency the Go vernor; our Pat k and Tower (Pilgrim and Charles Fort) guns have not therefore refounded the news to the public, and even at this moment many perfons are perhaps ignorant of the important event. a The expedition under General GAINFIELD and Commodore HOOD, did not arrive off Demarara river until the night of the 17th inn. and a fummons was immediately fent in, but no anfwer was received until the ,9th, when the flag returned with an ac ceptance of the terms of capitulation, and Major HAIDIta A: w•i:h zoo of the Royals, inflantly landed and took 1.:.x;11 to of Fort William Frederick at the mouth of the river. The next day, Colonel Nicaoe sow, tsith goo men and Captain BLAND, were dif pasched to Betbice, the Britifh flag bo'ng hoined in the mean time on the Grand Parade, in Strabroa, an 3 the remainder of the troops eantoned there. No fati%l.aaor y particulars of the capitulation have tranf pired, to eital,'e us to give that information which is ft highly interefling in this ifland, where fo many landed proprietors of thofe colonies ansinufly enquire the fate of their property, and from *hence Dzma- Tyra and Effequibo have free - pen:ly de• :veil their chief fupplies.

"The French Guineaman la Braave, which foonal ter the capture of St. Lucia, went in there and became prize to the garrifon, arrived here yellerday from thence, under convoy of the Pa ttczss Royal. armed brig." It was reported laft night, in confeqnence of an article in a weekly paper, that the Breit fleet had put to les, and it was added, that the DIAMOND frigate had fallen in with two French (hips of the line and fume refills, armed en flute, full of troops, fleeting for Cazre Clear. This rumour, however, obta;ned no credit. The fags, we believe, will turn out nearly as follows :—As Captain THO••MAS ELPHINS mai. in the DIAMOND, was cruizing off L'Orient, on the morning of the 7th inilant, he obferved two large (hips to the weitward, but the weather coming on hazy,he 101 l fight of them : fuppofing them to be a part of the enemy's fyrradron fleeting fur Ireland, he bore away for that coall with a prefs of fail ; and on the next morning, the Bth, he defctred two line of battle (hips ahead, running the fame courfe, to them he made the private fi2,nal, which not being repeated. he concluded that they were French fbips, and thole he had firfl Peen off I.'Orient the preceding day. In canfequence, Captain EL? H INSTONS conveyed this intelligence with all poffible difpatch toAdmiralLord GARDNER, off Bantry Bay ; but 'heti lall•mentioned (hips are certainly proved to be the MINOTALEL, of 74 guns, and another line of battle (hip, defined to reinforce Lord GAUSS ER, neither of which, unfor tunately, had obferved the DIAMOND'S fignaL The chips firfl leen off L'Orient, were a French 74, and a frigate, firppofed to be pufhing for Brea. Na accounts have been received of Admiral Cot*. attis's fleet being driven off the blockading fla tion. If, however, the enemy fhould dude the ob ferration of the blockading fleet, they muff likewife tifk a meeting with Admiral GARDNER off the coall of Leland. The reports of the fircngth of the Brell fleet are certainly exaggerated. A Portfmouth Paper' lays, that there are only liven fail of the line in the outer road and ready for ka, and fix in the inner road in a nate of forwardnefs. As to the French ports in the Channel, our letters from the coati afire us, preparations are making to give them fuch a bombardment as may deflroy the craft affemoled in them. We ftibjoin the letters:-..- DEAL, Nor. 13.—Another and immediate bom bardment of fuch of the enemy's ports as have any ' gun-boats colleEted in them, or in a (late of prepare , tion, is Row determined on. Boulogne is find to be the principal °Ng& of attack. The Leoraan, of 5o guns, Capt. MORRIS, who is appointed Commodore of the Eat fquadron to be employed, is jolt now in fight, with the AMBUSCADE frigate, and making for the Downs. I have talked with an Officer belonging to the Laoraan, who waits her arrival here, and he has told me that Captain MORRIS, previous to the Liling of his (hip from the Nore, fumMoned all hands on deck, and in the moll impreffise and animating terms defcribed to them the importance and difficul ties of the expedition in which they were about to be employed ; he concluded with expreffing his reli ance on their fleadinefs and valour. This reliance the crew jullified by a prompt and unanimous ex clamation of their readinefs to meet every poffible danger in a caufe fo glorious. It is underhood that this attack will be far more ferious than any that have preceded it. It appears that in the former bombard ments our (hips have fired at too great a difiance from the French coaft materially to injure their har bour, (hipping, or towns. In order, therefore, to do more execution in this inftance our crnizers are to (land clofer in (pore, which of courfe will ezpofe them to the annoyance of the enemy's batteries—a circumftance which mull give confiderable anxiety to every Briton who feels folicitous for the prefervation of the lives of his countrymen ; but no one who juflly appreciates their gallantry can feel any fear as to the ultimate Ale of the conceit. The °Nee is certainly of Inch importance as to be worthy of great rifks, if not of great facritices. As loon as the Laorara reaches the Downs, (be is to cone/it - rich wails as are appointed to accompany her to Dungencfs, which is her farther deflioation, and which is t h e render woos of all the veffels to be employed in the intended bombardment. If wind and tide (horrid be favourable, it is expeCted that the Laorsio, &c. will proceed to Dungcnefs without delay. Among the veffels to be placed under her command are, I underhand, the LEDA, ARM/SCAM, AMETNTIT and FlaaTtialllE frigates; the Hwy, Baooneouwe, Basmastc, and ARCilka gun brig, PFISIUS, Locust, and SuLr slut bombs. According to the flatement of Imre perfons who profefs to be aware of the plan of operation, it is intended to bom bard Boulogne, Calais, Havre, Gravclines, and Dieppe at the fame time t—but the opinion which kerns molt probable is, that they will commence the attack upon Boulogne, and after haring accomplifh ed their objeCt will proceed to the other ports. The ru,gars, rum, pimento, cotton, and logwoo.i. eeven of the crew were faved by the a:tivity of a Ramfgate boat. It is expeFled that the Officers captured on board the French Ron boat, st ill be brought on (bore t morrow, to be examined by ,o; Admiralty Commifflor. A very valuable Dutch tilip from SurinJni was brought into the Downs yeflerday. prize to the Earl Spencer privateer of this place. This privateer has been remarkably fuccefsful !lace the commencement of the war. Nov.

DOTER, Nov. &4.—The wind having fomewhat abated, feveral of our cruirers have failed again for Boulogne and the adjacent 1;),Irt of the enemy's coaft. Five P. M. feveral gun brigs and large cuttets are Banding out of the Downs over to tho enemy's coaft. We have received American Papers from Zoltan. to the 12th ; and from New York, to the 6tb uk inclufive.—The intelligence :hey bring is not by any means fo important as there was reafon to expefl;.-+- Oa the fuhjed of the difcufigous which have for fume time extßed, relative to the renewal of the Treaty be tween this country and the United States, the Jour nals, which came to our hand. are totally filent. From the French Well India laands there are no accounts o 6 a date later than thole already in our poffeffion. The mifery which prevails at St. Domingo is now a matter of univerfal notoriety, and it would appear by letters from fome of the unfortunate furviving colnnißs, that Rocriastaseu moires lux authority with the noon anfterity. The preffure of the fear city which prevailed at the Cape and the other polls which Rill continued in the hands of the French, had been aggravated by the unfeeling treatment of the Governor's Agents. Even the fcantiell fupply of proviiinns could not be procured without the mon villainous extortion. Letters from Jamaica fpeak of two French fail of the line, betides feveral frigates, being at Kingflon, captured in the attempt to effect their efcape from St. Domingo. We are not in• dined to think that this report is coerce. At the time that there letters were written the'efcape of the Duguay Trouin was known, and there is no notice taken of any part of the French force having at. tempted to elude the vigilance of our cruisers. At Martinique nothing material bad o,:euered. The Governor was in daily expedation of a vifit from mg troops. Thofe American Captains a bo have arrived left from the Ifland, reprefent the fi lelity of the in• habitants as being extremely doubtful. Ao fenfible was the Governor of this, that the prose of an invafion of the ifland had created the utmon ‘.. ,:afi nefs and apprehenfion. The troops were very far from being either high fpirited er confident .ff their ability to make an effectual refinance. It is mention. ed that our equation off Mat tiniqua has been fo emi nently on the alert, that in Almon every innance the attempts of the American veffels to enter have failed. Already they have begun to experience the beneficial confequences of the return of the French poffeffions to Bricifh dominion. Since the capture of St. Lucia, Governor Banton has iffued a proclamation defin ing the conditions, on which the introduction of anti. cles of American produce will be permitted. It is drawn up in very liberal terms, and has afforded great fatisfaAion to the merchants of Come of the principal trading towns of the Unit!! States. We are happy to find that the complaints, which in many inftances were too jußly urged of the harfh treatment of American icemen, by our Comminders on foreign ftatidns tinting the tan war, are likely to be complete. ly removed. It is allowed hitherto, the moon mo deration has been exerted, and in every inarnce where injlry has been unintentionally committed, there has appeared the utmoft readincfs to give the earlier' redlers. This is a circumftance which cannot fail to affOrd the nog fincere fatisfallion. With the mercantile intereft in America the French Govern ment is very far from being popular ; and if our na. vat (uperiority is maintained without infolence or oppreffion, there is no danger that their fentiments on this fulajed will undergo any fpeedy change. On the fubjed of the Settlement cf differences with France, the following remarks are extraded : they are Rated to be from a cot-feet fource ; and that they may be relied on:—" The 3,750,0c0 dollars,that the United States are to pay France. is to be paid to the citizens of the United States for claims they have upon the French Government, embraced by the Con vention made the 3oth September, by Meffrs. ELLS woarn and DAVIS. The fecond article of that con vention is to be cnnfidered as null and void. The payment to the United States is to be made to the citizens thereof, in fixty days after the final ratifica tion of the late convention by our Government, and tLaz the et:Una:its refpe6ively made their demait: $ for payment. After their claims are finally liquids. ted, a board of three Commillioners, apptfinted by our hlinidas, are to fit in Paris, who are to exarnin:: tits liquidated claims, to fee if they properly are claims that are embraced under the convention of the 3oth September. As Coon as this is determined, the claimants will receive their drafts, and they will be paid as they are prelented ; and (hould the claims embraced by the Convention exceed the C u m of 3,750,000 dollars, the remainder is a debt remaining 1 due from France, and to be paid the claimants bi that Republic. It is underflood that claims for lop plies to the W. I. Minds, demurrages on veffels from France, veffels taken and not reffored agreable to the conventinn of the 3oth September, and fuppliec under contrath made by officers of the French Go vernment in the United States, are the proper claims embraced by that Convention.—[Neiv idrk Z;Paio ildtertifer.] We have tranflated a letter from 'a Gentleman at Port-au-Prince to his friend at St. Jago de Cuba (Lady arrived at Paltimore), not becaufe it is of late date. but becaufe it will give fome ilea of what fort of Government that of St. Domingo is undo Roc HAOIII.EAV.-N42/ rGri Movar.tile AlterVer. 24.
