BRIDGPATOWN, BARBADOES, AVGAIST 3d As we all along have had too much reason to ap prehend, an attempt has been, at length made from I Guadaloupe to surprize the garrison at Marigalante, and retake the island. On the 234 instant, a party of 250 men, under Colonel CAMPBRIEL, of the 66th regiment of French infantry, effected a landing near Grand Bourg, and proceeded to the attack of it ; but before their approach to the battery, Lieutenant WELCH, of his Majesty's ship CIRCE, having thrown in a reinforcement of twenty or thirty seamen, which he landed at the moment of discovering the enemy, they were unexpectedly recetved, on attempting to assault the works, with such spirit, as instantly compelled them to give way, and, after a short skirmish, retrezt with the loss of one Captain and six men killed, and two made prisoners. 'Mr* or four marines and one or two se-amen %dere killed on our part ; but the enemy lost all his boats, amounting to seventeen, which had , brought the troops from Quadalonpe, and was retired into the interior of the island, when the accounts were dispatched from Marigalatite. Although there has hitherto been no military co-Uperation in the defence and garrisoning of Marigalante ( the responsibility of the capture and retention of the island resting exclusively with our Naval Commander), Lieutenant-General BECKWITH, on the information of the enemy's attempt upon it being received here on Saturday afternoon, dispatched the same evening to its relief, a small ex pedition under Lieutenant-Colonel BLACKWELL, of the 4th West-India regiment, which was embarked with • the greatest promptitude on board his Majesty's ship . INTREPID, and has in all probability before this ex pelled the enemy, and restored the security of the AMERICA ALBANY, AUGUST N. It is reported that the Federalists intend to impeach Mr. JEFFERSON, at the meeting of the Congress. Among other hostile preparations against England are several flotillas, ordered to be constructed for the American Government on the Lakes on the frontier of Canada. The partisans of Mr. JEFFERSON pre tend, however, that these arguments are made against smugglers, Mr. J. intending the embargo as a permanent measure, until a peace in Europe. But should not hostilities cease soon on the other side of the Atlantic, a civil war will undoubtedly be the consequence in this country, where the people are discontented and divided, and the Government de spicable and despised. The Democrats now quarrelling among themselves about the election of the next President, make daily disclosures, proving here, as in Europe, the infamy and intrigue of all Democratic Factions, who, under the pretension of patriotism, are the most guilty, as well as the most disgusting of egotists. Some hopes are entertained, that the people will open their eyes, in feeling their humiliating misery (entirely the work of Democrats), and elect a Federal Ruler. The revolutions in Spain have caused the Minister) of the Treasury, Mr. GALLATIN, to make several journies to the principal sea-ports, where have been established the depots contracted for by Spain and France last winter, and for the payment of which it is said Government made itself responsible, in hope to , Pet safe the Spanish money lately confiscated in the Brazils. The Revolutionary Government in Spain will probably not be responsible for what its predecessor was forced to conclude by France; and the public is not longer in the humour to contrlbute • another two millions for secret servi e money, though in fact to the support of the French Colonies. - , P. S.—lt is now here a known fact , that the Ame rican Messenger to England, in the Osage, carried no message at all ; Mr. JEFFERSON wisely expecting, that his embargo, Mr. Roses return ' and BONAPARTE'S wrath, would engage the British Ministers to offer on their knees, an acceptance of all his former, and mc dest, and moderate demands. Last Thursday, about seven o'clock, a melancholy circumstance took place at the Commercial Inn, in the town of Plymouth Dock.—Captain &tom:mica, of the ship Friends, being in company with a friend of his at the Inn, a Portuguese refugee, who had long been resident in that neighbourhood, entered the room where they were, and began a conversation relating to the affairs of this country and Portugal ; when, kome unpleasant words being used, the Portuguese drew a dirk from his pocket, and, in the most cow ardly manner, stabbed Captain BRODERICK in the groin, and instantly went out of the room, ran over the stairs, and effected his escape from the house. He was immediately pursued, and every means used to apprehend him, but unfortunately without success.— A reward of twenty guineas is offered for the appre-i hension of the villain, and it is hoped that he will not be able to elude the vigilance that is used for his dis-, covery.—We are happy to say, that Capt. BRODERICK is in so fair a way as to be supposed out of danger. A Court Martial was held on Thursday on board the ROEBUCK (Admiral DOUGLAS'S flag-ship) at Yar mouth, on the Officers and crew of his Majesty's ship DELPHINEN, lost on the 4th of August last on the coast of Holland. The Court, after due investiga tion, was of opinion that the said ship was lost from the neglect of the Master in not heaving the lead, and being asleep on his watch. This poor fellow, whose name was Fleetwood, died in consequence of the loss of the ship of a broken heart, in Harlingen prison. He bore an excellent character for knowledge 'of his profession, correctness, and sobriety ; and Captain HARWATU) stated to the Court that it was the first in stance of his inattention or neglect. It was supposed that he must have been taken suddenly ill, or was ex cessively fatigued, from the circumstance of his lying down on the arm-chest during his watch.. The Offi cers and crew were all acquitted ; and the Court came to a decision that the destruction of the DELPHINEN, by burning her, was necessary, under all the circum stances of the case. A mechanic of the the name of Jove, who worked in the Seven Dials, went out with a companion to poach in a piece of private water on Finchley com mon, on Friday, where a watch had been previously set. They were emptying one of the fish-baskets, when a pistol was discharged at them, and Jove, in endeavouring to make his escape; was drowned ; the other man escaped. Every ass►stance was used to re store animation in the deceased, but he had been un der water 20 minutes. FOAEIGN riNTELLIGENCE. HAMBURGH, OCTOBER S. The Russian Minister at Kiel has caused articles to be inserted in the Hamburgh and Altona papers, con tradicting the reports of large assemblements of Rus sian troops on the Austrian frontiers. He vat •, that the entire number of Russians on the frontiers of West Gallicia does not exceed 10,200 men, and that the camps on the Bog were for small corps collected there solely for the purpose of exerci s e. This document observes as follows, in proof of the amity subsisting between the two Imperial Courts : " Although Russia is rich in leather, she gets the boots for her army made at Vienna, and very extensive contracts have been re. c.mtly made, and are now executing under the sanction of the Austrian Ministry. Austria has just lent 10,000 stand of arms to Russia, and a considerable quantity of copper in bars is now on its passage to Austria, being another payment of the expense of seventeen millions of florins incurred.by the passage of the Rus sian armies through , Austria in the ye.tr 1799 :tnd 1805. Austrian Surgeons continue to be allowed to enter the Russian service, and, in laot, every things skews not only that the most friendly under standing subsists between the two Courts, hut that each is cordi ally desirous to maintain it." The Austrian Cabinet, consistent with the judi cious policy which, with a view to improvecrprepara don, delays the period of a rupture with France, has intimated to Don de Quadra, the Spanish Charge d'Affaires, that hi's diplomatic functions have termi nated with the Government which appointed him.— , He now resides as a private individual at Vienna, as well as the late Portuguese Minister. The Austrian Government has ordered the Castle of Arwa, on the frontiers of Silesia, at the defile of Jablunka, to be speedily fortified, and 3000 soldiers, independent of the neighbourhood, are employed on the works. Nine regiments, and 2000 artificers, are unremittingly occupied in strengthening the fortress of Comorn, which is appointed the place of arms in Hungary. Accounts from Berlin of the Ist instant state, that by the treaty which was concluded at Paris on the Bth September, between France and Prussia, the lat ter agreed to pay one half the arrears of contribu tions, which are estimated at 14.0 millions of franks, in 20 days, either by cash or approved bills—the re. nriining half to be taken from the royal domains ; and the fortresses of Stettin, Custrin, and Glogaw, to be occupied by 10,000 bench troops until the whole is paid. Berlin, and the whole of the Prussian States, with the exception of the three fortresses, to be evacuated by the French before the end of the present month. The King of Prussia has ceded to France certain pecuniary claims which he had on the Du,:hy of Warsaw. Large quantities of arms and ammunition having been bought up by the Jews in the Prussian States, in order to be sent to Warsaw, the King has issued an ordinance prohibiting their exportation. Bonaparte is withdrawing most of his troops from Italy—part of the garrisons of Rope and Florence have quitted those cities, and early in the last month, orders were issued at Turin to prepare accommoda tion, carriages, &c. for two divisions of troops, each 12,000 strong, which were to pass that way on their return to France. The French troops which were on their march through Franconia to the Rhine are stated, in ac counts from Manheini of the 26th ult. to have receiv ed unexpected orders to halt, and that the horses, waggons, &c. put in requisition for their conveyance, had been dismissed. A letter from Nuremberg, given in the Corrapondenten, states that a French corps had arrived at Ansp.,ch the preceding day from the Rhine, and the next day continued its route to the North. Mustapha, the new Grand Vizier, and the virtual Sovereign of Turkey, has adopted means to abridge the power of the Janissaries, an object, which how ever necessary, is likely to add to the troubles of that distracted Empire. Several Pachas, jealous of this power of Mustapha, are stated to have withdrawn their contingents from the Grand Army in ,:omelia, which was, in consequence, in danger of being broken up. The Hereditary Prince of Weimar, the Mecklen burgh, and Members of most of the other p s , -ty Princes on the Continent, met the Emperor Alex ander at Koningsburgh, and attended him to Wei mar. His Majesty was nine days on his journey from Petersburgh to Konningsburgh. Fifty-four horses were held in readiness at the post-stations in Prussia, &c. for his conveyance. The following project for the dismemberment of European Turkey, is the substance of some observa tions made by the French General Lanais-mu, while speaking of the distracted state of the Ottoman Go vernment, and is commun cated by an Officer of I'Unite frigate, cruizing off Ragusa : " France to have Albania, Greece, the Mores, and the Islands. " Russia to retain its conquests in Moldavia and Besserabia. " Austria (in the event of her acced•ng to the Confederacy) to receive Bosnia, Servia, and Macedonia—Austria ceding to France the Lithorage. " The provinces of Wallachia, Bulgaria, and Romania, to be erected into a separate kingdom for the Grand Duke Constantine, with the title of King of Thrace : Constantinople to be his capital." The disposition of the Asiatic provinces is not men tioned, and they are possibly reserved for some future rrangement. • DUBLIN, 06-T013E12.4e. We are sorry to perceive, by the, Kerry Paper, that the atrocities in the West continue to exist, and that the wretched and sanguinary victims of delusion have practised a series of enormities too shocking.f( r the eye of. Humanity to glance at. A number cf persons have been committed to the county gaol, to abide their trials, fur the offences with which they stand charged. At the late. Leeds Sessions, among some vagrants brought up to receive the judgment of the Court, was Robert Richardson, nearly 80 years of age. On being charged with being a rogue and vagabond, he indig nantly replied, that he was a " travellinggenileman, but no rogue." Upwards of StA. was found on his person. Last week, at Weyhill Fair, there were more than twelve thousand pockets of hops, five of which con sisted of the Farnham growth, and were sold at the following prices.—A few very fine at 71. 7s. The general price from 61. 6s. to 71. Seconds from 4L to 51. 15s. as in goodness; but they, with other Coun try, never produced so few that were really fine and good. The Crondal and Country pockets sold from il. ss. to 61. 6s. Seconds 51 . and inferior and ordi. ' nary 'very low.—One dealer bought 190 pockets.... More than one fourth of the fair was left unsold. 1 i 1 i : .1 i i i 1 I i I I 1 1 1 . 1 . i 1 l r
