They do not bring any frc(h intelligence from New York refpeaing the ravages of the fever. By the late( accounts. it appears that the number of viaims to tl:is dreadful difordev, up to the 6th of September, was cor.liderably upwards of two hundred. In feve r:a inftances, refpeaable merchants, who had quitted the City at its fiat appearance, but were induced to return by reprefentations of its violence having abated, fell viaims to their temerity as loon as they had re opened their warebonfes. At Philadelphia and every other pan of the United States, we are happy to find that, in confequence of the rigid ob(ervance of the quarantine lawr, contagion has hitherto been com pletely avoided. The harbour of New York was crowded with perfons who had taken refuge from the &feet on board the quarantine Skips. It gives us fincere pleafure to be able to Rate that . the report of the capture of two fail of French Sips of the line is confirmed. Advice bad been received at Kingeon in Jamaica, that foon after the arrival of the ViiNCItl•IlD, with her prize, the ELIPNANT bad entered the pert with another feventy-four which the hid captured. The French (hips did not attempt to snake the frnalkft refinance. Only one broadlide was fired from our veffels when the French Captains judged it prudent to haul down their colours. From every part of St. Domingo new details of the vaiferable Rate of ill, Whites in that colony are re ceived. An American veffel arrived at Bolton about the beginning of September, with upwards of fixty French paffengers on board. Almoll the whole of there were ;scrims of great refpeCtability and large property, who fled from the inevitable defiration which threatens the French caufe in the colony. At the time this veffel left Port Republicain the town had not been totally evacu ited. It was impoffible, how ever, that the evacuation could be long retarded.— The town did not then contain provifions for more than fix days, and the Blacks were encamped in great force in the adjacent plain. In confequence of the Rrianefs of the blockade, no friendly veffels could approaaa the harbour, and the wretched remnant of the inhabitants had no profped before them but mat t.= by the Blacks, unlefs the conditions of an un conditional furrender could be fettled by the Com manders of our blockading fquadron. Other Rations Q.:copied by the French were in a condition no lets defperate. The report continues to be kept up of an offer of unconditional furrenster having been made by the French Commander in Chief to the Governor of Ja maica. Though it is an event which may now be confidered as extremely likely, the report, as it ap . pear s in all the Journals which notice it, bears few marks of authenticity. There can be no doubt, how, ever, that the flay of the French in Bt. Domingo can not now be long protra(led. It is not, indeed, very eafy to fee what circumflanees can have induced the Frerfas Commander in Chief to continue a' comet which he mutt be (enable is altogether hepelefs. The Blacks are ufing every exertion to fortify the places which fall into their hands. After the evacuation of Fort Jeremie, they immediately detached a lirong body to take poffeffion of it. The Fort was mount. ed with additional pieces of artillery, and along the whole length of the Bite of I.eogene, bodies of them were ltationed to manage the batteries confiruSed to prevent the approach of any of the enemy's veffels, in cafe any reinforcements Would arrive from France. There can be no doubt that the Blacks will never again (offender the ifland to France as long as a man remains to oppofe a French force. This determined (pi: it will, we troll, he a (efficient inducement for our Commanders in the Well Indies not in any cafe to at crpt the dangerous projea of occupying any of the port: of the ifland with Britilk troops. • Core of she jloslon Papers of the tath of Septem ber, contains the following cattail of a letter from Car. Cootoe, arrived at Newcaflle (America), from J•retnie—o On the in of AuguA, having all my bafinels fioithed, I intended to fail in the evening ; hat at tea the fame day, a general embargo was laid on all the veffels in the harbour. Next evening the tiwe was forrounded by not leis than 6000 or 8000 blacks. The General, finding from his weak Rate that he could not hold out long, determined to eva cuate the place, which he did in the evening after, forcing as many troops on board each octet as he could, allowing fume of the inhabitants to go likes wile. There were then in the port, the -brig Silly, of I-hi'ailelphia ; the (choosier Montferras, of Balti more; reboot:we Harmony. of New York . ; and' tiro reench and one Spandb veldt. At twelve at night the General went on board the Sprats veffel, and gave or4er to get under wei g h. foe the Cope. , The zest day the floop of war and myfelf, the Sally, the moseferrat, and the Iwo French relicts, were fent to P.'ir: Royal, where we lay two days, received tet; days pro‘ifitms, with orders to Ail from St. Domin• go with all our troops on board. I flirted alone; what became of the other veflels I cannot fay. I flopped at St. Jago, but was not permitted to land. and was, of courfe, obliged to proceed to the Cape, whence 1 failed on the aid of Augtl. after landing foldiers, two ladies, and fifteen other pafkugers." A vcffel arrived at Norfolk, in New England. from the Illand of St. Thomas, had brought intelli• gence of the furrender of the Dutch fettlement of Curacoa to the Brit il h arms. A letter from Jamaica, dated Auguß s, rays— if The French force at St. Domingo. on the 16th of July, was two fail of the line and five frigates, blocked up at the Cape by Commodore Bays ruw, with four fail of the line and three frigates. Two other of our Sips of the line, with three frigates and five fluops. were cruising to prevent (applies bsing thrown into the Wand from_Caba, and from America, where, notwithßanding the iniquitous confifcations of La c tame, and the Rill more iniquitous proteft of the French bills brawn by Rocstamasau on Basaraar American adventurers were (till found defperate enough to rilk their property, on the (peculation of the enormous prices paid for necauies by this un fortunate colony. a The Blacks had armed Come pirogues, carrying about 20 men, with which they watched the malt (the French cruizcrs being now all blocked up) for thefe adventurers, alai had intercepted two (mall veils from Cuba, and three from America, bound for St. Domingo, and had murdered their crews, a meafure which will probably intimidate the traders from attempting to fupply the ifland. " The whole amount of White troops on the 16th July was poo men, difperfed in different pofts, dif contented, difheartened, and deprived of every com• fort : to thefe may be added the few furviving inha bitants of the Colony driven in from their plantatiops, and unable to efcape to Europe or to America, which before the war they had attempted in great numbers. —The Black troops in the pay of RocHass ',au had been reduced to a very fmall number ; and the confidence of their black enemy had increafed fo much that they had blocked within very narrow limits every point poffeffed by France, aad were hourly gaining ground. A few days before this ac.' . count, one of opr frigates cruizing off Capc Tiberon, and perceiving how ctofely that poll and (mall town was prefect by the Brigands who iavefied it, tent in a flag, and offered to receive the garrifon as prifoners of war. The Republican anfwer was couched in terms of the greateß infolence and brutality, in con fequenee Of which they were lefi to their fate, and 00 the day but one after this mirage, the fort and hof pital were formed by the Brigands, who put td the (word the entire garrifon of 497 men, exclufive'of the hofpital, of whom none efcaped. “ From all thefe circumflances it feems clear that the French troops and (hips muff capitulate to our fquadron, unlefs Come unforefeen accident fhould re lieve the extreme want of provilions. It is undergood that they were difpofed to negotiate to be carried to the Windward Viands, which Bowaratra had or dered them to attempt, in cafe they fhould be obliged to evacuate St. Domingo, but that all idea of this fort had been negatived. A meffage had been Cent from the Brigands to the Commodore, with refrentments, and a requeft to know whether they would be permitted to fend two of their number jo the Governor and Admiral at Ja maica; which offer had been accepted, and a meet ing had been fummoned of all the Negro Chieftains to fettle their infiruaions to their two agents. This new Black Power appears confolidated, and the En. ropeaa Powers that have Colonies muff coneiliite thofe whom France has been unable to fubdue. " Every creature in Jamaica is crying out alpha the Spanifh Neutrality. which hai Paved their tieature and their trade ; at the famc time that every creek in Cuba fwarms with privateers manned by Spaniards, though coinrnifiloned by the French agent at the Ha vannah, to cruise on the bays round Jamaica. and in the 'mirages, for Englifh Mips." There are fume unple,scAnt rumours from Jamaica refpeding a difcovery mad: at Rio !keno of ammu nition and arms in feveral of the huts of the Negroes in that difiria of the ifland. It is added that feveral other difcoveries bad been made, which had excited confiderable alarm. We are inclined to think that this is merely the revival of a report prevalent Come time ago. At all events it does not appear that there was any thing like an organized plan of infurreaion on a great kale. In all the prinCipal parts of the ifland the utmoß tranquillity prevailed. The following articles contain tome other intereli ing particulars ; • Cnaeterroww, Avo. 32.—The French frigate Ponrftiivante went to lea lafl night, recompatied by her prize the Juno. The Cotton Planter being libe ratCd, alfo proceeded on her voyage. It is the in. tendon of the French Commander to burn the Juno, preparations for which were made prior to his fail ing. Captain Arrtrca and his Crew came up to town lall evening in the pilot•boat, an exchange re ceipt being given by the Britilk Conful in this City. " The Pourfuivante is }all from Cape Nichols Mole, and is the frigate which Tome time ago had a broil' with an Englilts 74, but having (hot away the Engliflt (hip's rudder, (he made *net efcape with the lots of as men." •. Borrox, &tram/SR 6.—Captain WING ; saint!. at Philadelphia from Jeremie, was captured loon after failing, by three Brigands' barges, and detained three days at Bay 1* Clerc. Before failing from thence, he learnt that Jeremie was evacuated by the Whites on the sd of Augull, the inhabitants having fought an afylum at Caba. There were four Southern American vetch at Jeresnie. 4 • Capt. HtIITON, arrived at New York from Port Antonio, Jamaica, furnifbes the following informa tion Accounts bad reached Port Antonio, on the morning of our leaving that place, from Kinglion, of the arrival there of two French 74 gun (hips, captured by the ELL►MAMT and V4IIIOVARD, of equal force, after a little or no rehilance;they hauling down their colours after the aril broadfide." 44 Sgp TI M BER 8.--The brig ALIRT, Capt. FISHIRP has arrived at Q . 2arantine Ground, in 19 days, from Port Republicain. She has upward! of 6o French pallingers on board, the principal part of whom fled from the deltration which inevitably awaited that ill fated Colony. Captain F. Informs, that the town was not wholly evacuated, but it was thought it could not hold out above a few days, as there were not more than five days provifions in the place, anci the Blacks, in great force, encamped within fight of the City.—What renders the condition of the inhabi tants flill snore deplorable is, that in confequence of the &id blockade, no friendly veffels can eitter; and no other means are prefented to refine them from the vengeance of the Blacks.—By arrivals from Marti nique, we learn that the Dish& were making pre . - parations to attack that Viand. The Englifh priva teers fwarm round the Viand, and have taken many rich prizes. Several Guineamen, and many others, have been recently carried into Dominique.
