And We do further retire and command every Alien, for the purpose of obtaining such licence as 4foresaid, to deliver,. or.

'aid. And We do further declare, That this Our Pro. clamation . shall not extend to require any Alien to obtain 'such Licence as aforesaid, who shall, hellie the publication of this Our Ptuclamaiion in the Lyndon G4ette, have obtained Out Royal - Licence to reside in any part of •this Kingdom. And We do further direa, That every Alien as artfresaid, upon every changt.,44 tetidelice t _ to any place iri the b4111f: Lity, Distria a Of LONDON, OCt„OBER 2+, 1803. WE some days ago ,expressed our hzoicf, 'hat a Capture had been made by Atirisr.,l Squadron, of a French 74. , hat it was probable anothvr into our hands, with some Frig:itt, rt . ix paipa:free, of 74. guns, is the Ship taki:o 4>tearl, both of which arrived . at Port on the 29th of . July. Before the rangaard lost sight of the Squadron, the Elephant was along_ side the other French Line of Battle Ship, bearing the French Admiral's Flag, and she was closely followed by the Theseus, so that little doubt can be entertained of her failing an easy prize. The rest of the Squadron pursued the Frigates. A Bus. ton Paper of the Ist of September, states, that in. telligence had been reteived at Portland, brought by the Captain of a Vessel in 16 days from St. Croix, that, on the sth of August a British Sloop ar. rived there from Sr t Christopher's, with infor. illation that the British Squadron had fallen in with the French Fleet from Sr. Domingo, and captural nine Sail, consisting of Shipe'Of the Line and Fri. gates. This is evidently an exaggeration of the ot h er accou nt . W e do not believe that more than two sail of the Line remained at Cape Francois, and we do not apprehend there were so many Fri. garea 44 seven. After the Capture of their Squadron, there can be little doubt but that the remnant of the French Army under, general ROCHAMOKAU, must have surrendered at discretion. Thus the island of St. 'Domingo is probably lost to France for ever. It is probably by this time again un. tier the entire dominion of the Blacks, and this circumstance places our Government in a very delicate and trying situation. A Letter front Kingston, dated July 30th, states that a French Schooner had arrived there on the preceding day, in six days from Port-au-Prince, with a Deputation from the principal Planters and Merchants to the Governor of Jamaica, entreating an asylum there, and oireting to orrender Port-att-Privefi (0 lie afi. titall. 'lime GlVerllOr of Jamaica' would hardly cede to eithe) request without consulting the Go. vernment at -' liUrne ; and the true line of aetio n , i n such a predicament, requires more judgment and wisdom than we have a right to expect from the present iNilinisters. We have no doubt but that great advantages may be derived .tor this Country f. um Si. Dominao without a, great risk either of Money i , r live* ra tl.e. Eritishs , liprurtly msn ag „i, the *hole traf'e of that valuable and extensive Colony may be drawn into our Part;, I%ithout our own Colonial system being more endangered by the vicinage.of a free Black Government than it has been for several years past. We should delve. cate, however, placing Garrisons in St. Domingo : it is by conciliation and address, more than by force of arms, that St. Domingo can ever again become useful to a European Power. It is said that a person who formerly resided in St. Domingo, as an Agent under the arrangement formed by General MAI r_ LAND with the unfortunate TOUSSAINT, has lately gone back to the Island, with the view of procuring such information as a new intercourse may be founded upon. If this he true, we think that the very best line of conduit has been in the first in. stance adopted, which we hope any orders that may lie sent from home, will tend to confirm and im. prove. Saturday morning the Mixt of Yoßx arrived at Windsor on Military businesS with His IVIA:ESTY. Soon after breakfast HIS MAJESTY, the. DUKES of Coma ERLAND and CAMBRIDGE, and Princess Sark' lA, with their usualAttenciants, rode on horse_ back in Windsor Great Park.
