JAN. REL.-3ince this letter was dated, I have teceived one Roast the Governor of Oorte, which I add to the difpatehes. Here follows the eorrefPndente of which the following is the fubnance : In the firft letter Citi zen Bzsecnoy informs Colonel Fes: fa, that he has the honour of communicating to him his Bap tAMISIC Msyssrv's orders for the reflitution of • Goree, and requefts that a day may be appointed for the carrying them into execution. Colonel tRAI.It in his anfwer, dated November 5, ‘332, lays, that be is ready to deliver up the place as loon as a tranfport, which he expelts, than arrive, and furniils him with the means of eva cuating the garrifon. Nov. 18.—Citizen B&•rewor in his next letter informs Colonel Ft•zea, that as waking for the tranfport might caufe a delay in the execution of their refpedire orders, which might fubjekt both parties to blame, he had difpatched the corvette In:patinae to take poffeffion of the ifle of Goree, and he would bring a nail with him to convey the Nitals troops from the Wand. Nov. as ...C.CllOllel FI•Z Il i in anfwer, abferves, tbat the tranfport had not yet arrived to carry ( the troops, and that he never knew an inflame of a Bahia garrifon having evacuate♦an Wand re. Aorta by a treaty of peace, under any other Bag than ha own. bit. 13.-40 • fllbreqUellt kite; Citizen BLA11• t 110 T informs Col. FAA I 11, that to prevent delays h the conveyance of the provifions whicb be maw to fend to Corte, he had taken advantage of an' American (hip going thither. • Dec. 19.---Colonel Feat ea, in his anfwer, fitys, he has given orders that the provifions put on board the American veffel (ball be landed as loon as they arrive, and adds, that he had received letters from the Governor of Sierra Leone, an nouncing, that he had freighted a- tranfport co& ziently large to contain all the troops and provi• &c. and that as Coon as this veffel fhould arrive, he would fix a day fir the reftitution of the ifland. Dscsseasa :6.—ln another letter Colonel Fee sea Pays, " The tranfporf, though expected every moment, is not yet arrived, and Commodore HAs,Lowatt, of the A.lOO, having touched here on his way to make the annual infpeftion of the Englifh fettlements along the coat, it appears that part of the provifions, Bec. which have been landed here fence the peace, and which I intended to tranfport to Sierra Leone, may be ufeful for ano ther fervice, and that a veffel ought to be imme diately fent to England for that purpofe, I was, therefore, defirous of tranfmitting to you this in formation, becaufe I may, perhaps, find it necef fary to wait fume time for the arrival of the veffel from England. As the Commodore took in re frefhments at different places of his route, and as hisipairage here employed two months, there is rca fon to hope that the veffel from England may ar rive as loon as the tranfport from Sierra Leone. Jaa. 4.—C. 13tAircHor Pays, " Appearances of change in the deffination of a part of the provi lions which are at Gorec, cannot and ought not to' make any change in that of the tranfport an nounced from Sierra Leone, becaufe if the veffel which you expea from England is to take them, and if it fhould not arrive at the time of the fur render, nothing would be eafter than for me to take charge of them, to be anfwerable for their fafety, and to cattle !them to be delivered to any perfon whom you might authori(e for that pur pole. I, therefore, have the honour of informing you, that I adhere to your letter of the ssith, and depend on its being carried into effed." JAN. I4.—Colonel FRAM', givii the following anfwer—•• I beg permiffion to refer to to my letter of Dec. 26, and to obferve that, in confequence of the informAlion which I announced to you I had received from Commodore Hs ttowstt, fubfe quent to the lire of my letter of the t9th, it ap pears neceffary that I flould wait at leaft fome time for the arrival of the vefrd from England, in (lead of proceeding, as I had propofed, to embark the troops and all the other articles on board the tranfport from Sierra Leone. This is the more necefary, as the Commodore having failed alma at the end of °Sober, there is great proba bility of feeing the veffel arrive here foon.— Permit me to add, that as you apprehend that any delay in the reftitution of the ifiand of Goree may expofe us to blame, from our refpeftive Go vernments, I shall be ready to do you jullice, and to become individually refpouflble for any blame in regard to the delay which has been occafioned by unavoidable difappointments." This long correfpondence is doled by a flsort letter from C. i3cxxcitor, in which he lays, that he hopes, when the veld, expeaed from England, fhall arrive, totonel Faust will announce to him, that nothing farther has Occurred to retard the execution of their refpative otders. The above correfpondence is neither preceded nor followed by any remarks in the French Official Paper—a circumftance the more remarkable, as in the Afenitaw of the day before, when giving a copy of the late Convention at the Cape of Good Hope, it was called ‘, A CAPITULATION ris " TIME 01 Peace I I I" Thefe Papers give little or no information re• fpeaing the matters in difpute between the two Countries. It is worth while to obferve, however, how very contradieory the letters from Holland, both by the Mail and in the French Papers, are on this fubjee. The generality of thofe which reached us yellerday were of a pacific complexion, excepting one from Leyden, (given in a preceding column), which did not reach us in time for our publication. That letter Rates, that French troops had actually entered the Dutch territories on the 29th ult. and yet our Readers will fee by a letter which we fubjoin, that , onl y four days beforeofficial notice was given at the Hague that French troops would not enter Holland unlefs in the event of war being declared. Compare thefe alto with the fub joined letter from Bourdeaux, Rating, that intel ligence had been received by the Chamber of Com. coerce (that is the intelligence has a demi-official complexion) from Paris, that no fear, sight to be tsisrtaistd of frig beihtito roomed with Anglantll It is plain, that if hoflilities be refumed, the French are determined the odium ffiall, if pollible, be thrown upon this country ; and that they will avoid an explanation (if war be their objea) till they hear of the different foreign poreffions which we were to give up being evacuated, and till Tome of the fleets of their Allies, which are Coon ex. paled home with rich cargoes, be fate in port.— Mea t and not before, do we expel to know the _ Me of the prefetttdifeuffinns. Tn a Month hence,' if we be not much mi flaken, France will Ga a v , ry different part frost what fie bat yet fount! it ffi• to do! Hague, MAR CH. 35.—1 t is believed, that the laft intelligence received by the Government from its Envoy and Agents in England is of a more l confoling nature than the pi efent circumftances gave us reafon to hope. The uncertainty of events is the more di ftreffing to our merchants, as the rea l being covered with veffels expeeted from both the Indies, with valuable cargoes, it is impoffible to calculate the loffes which would be occafioned to us by a renewal of holtilities. It was yeftetday announced officially that the French troops will : not enter our territories, unlefe war is declared; their march is therefore fufpended. Every thing proves that the Filar CONSUL is determined to let the reproach of the provocation fall entirely on I others. This intelligence has revived the hopes ' entertained here fince the day before yefterday,thst affairs would take a pacific turn. OM. funds do not fall ; they have remained the fame fince yefterday.l HAGUE, MARCH 26.—A report is circulated here, that our Government is foliciting the medi ation of one of the &it powers of the North, to obtain leave to obferve neutrality, in cafe war (hall again break out between France and England.— The merchants of Amfterdam, within thefe few days, base received more confoling news from' France as well as England : our funds have con-1 fequently rifen, and the veifels in the different ports! of the Republic arc now raking in cargoes. It is I generally believed, that the intervention of Rtiffta may contribute in an effedual manner to reflore good underftanding, and to Trevent the misfor tunes with which Europe was threatened. Troops , from every part of the Republic arc proceeding to! Helvoetfluy-, where they embark in the tranfportsi belonging to :die expedition deflined for Louifiana ; ' nearly gam eireftive men are already on board. MONT-DB•MARSAII, Maraca 26.—Letters from Bourdeaux contain the following intelligence :— " The Chamber of Commerce has received an al urance from Paris, that no apprehentions ought to be entertained of facing hoftilities refumed with England. On the arrival of this happy news all , colonial produCtions, which had rifen in price for fome days pall, remained Ready. and even begin to' fall : on the other hand, the adivity of the place is redoubled, for fitting out merchant vac's. with cargoes, deftintd for the colonies." Baussass, ?theca ;eh—According to official intelligence from Paris, we learn, that the arrival of the Ftarr Cossux here is fixed for the 25th or 26th of next month. Confequently new orders have been given for the reparation of the monuments and fountains, with which our principal areets and Cquares are ornamented. A Hamburgh mail alto arrived this morning,l and has brought us the following letter, which will' be read with fome interell. We long for a copy of the Article, of which the Senate kerns to have been obliged to fantlion the publication, apparently againft its own willies. Hastananm, MARCH :sr.—This day was called an extraordinary Meeting of the Senate, which has given occafion to a thoufand reports, and re newed the opinion of an immediate rupture be- tween France and England. It was occafioned by a violent Note, it appears, of M. Rllllll4llO, the French Minifter, occafioned by *a refufal to print, in the Gazette of this City, fome declara tion againft England. He has not only infifted ou this, but, as is generally believed, demanded that, in cafe of war, our Port (hall be (hut againQ the Englifn 11,d their Allies, and all Englifh property confilcated. Whatever demands be may have made will furely be granted, unlefs the KING of Pa USSIA interferes to prevent it. This declaration, what ever it be, is, we underftand, to be printed to. morrow. Orden were yefterrLtylent off from the Admiralty, to the different ports, to employ a greater number of hands on the lads ferrite. We have great fatisfaßion in laying the follow ing flatement of our Naval Force before the public.
