Tin accounts brought by the American ?April respafting the Capture of the French Line of Battle Ships in the West Indies, are rather contradiflOry, Of the Capture tithe pi m u t e, of 74guns, there ap. pears to be no seasonable ground fortsuter taihiug any doubt, although it is rather singular that official law. motion should not have been received of that event. With regard to the vessel that was said to be engaged . with the Vetbant, we are afraid that the account of her being taken arose rather from the probability of the circumstance than from any positive - in formation. Bat whatever doubts we' may ep, tertain upon that subjett we haye none respe4. ing the situation of the ,French in St, Do,„; ngo , if indeed there are any at preseni in that Island. The impossibility of recciiiie , ,T any succour from' France, and their inability t o resist the unskilful botioces. sant attacks of the .111:;cles, must compel . them, if they wish to avoid destrutiioo, to surrender to ,the British Ccurtmander!4, or to endeaveur "to escape to some of the French or 'Spanish -Possessions in that quarter. At all events, Is lost, irrecoverably lost, to France. A neinerous, army has been deitroyed, and a coniitierAle PortiOn of their Navy captured. Suelt.is the punishment, which France has received for her perfidy and cruelty but severe as it is, we are not sanguine enough to hope that it will Ortiduce any refOrmation in her cotisluet.
