A. variety of Extracts from Adierican Alpert, to the 21st ult. will be found in another part of our Pa per. Whatever may be the dispositions of Ame rican Government, and these are rather pacific than otherwise, there cdn be no doubt that the great body o! . ne people are decidedly averse from a rupture with this country. The resolutions voted by the SLa.L;.... Massachusets and New York, which wt have given at full length, breathe the spirit of moderation and conciliation.

The island fell a very easy conquest, only seven days from our first landing.— We had a very fine, though awful, view of the charge our soldiers made on the French, .and could plainly see the slain on the field with onr glasses, being only four miles from them. Our troops landed in two di srisions--nne on each side of.tbe island. " General Eallour thinking himself secure, kept in his house, about a. quarter of a mile from Ma taban, his principal tort ; and, to his utter astonish ment. the first thing that saluted his eyes, was about 200 of our Men, who had surrounded his house, and completely hemmed him in on all sides. When he found how matters stood, he immediately threw .out a white flag, as a flag of truce, and we came to terms, (of our own making). The truce lasted about three days ; at the expiration of that time, we took possession of the forts. Our sailors drew up the mor tars and cannons to the hills, for the army, with the greatest alacrity and cheerfulness. We have taken all the shipping here, of which I would send you a list, but time will not permit." IVEXFORD, MARCH 19.
