FOR THE SUN. R. EDITOR, lo s, he proposes to sacrifice all private feelings, and even to co_opetate with the man who has afted so long in diametrical opposition to his measures end princirles, because the welfare of the State re- quires a vigorous Administration ; and though he :tiers by a deleftion of his Old Allies, he firmly adheres to his C , untry in the hour of danger, and re:,o;ves to do his duty, or " bravely perish behind the :ott dika of the PLUROGATIVE."

The firing salutes from all the Batteries on the French Coast On Monday last, we still think was in honour of that frost jo . thel event. We are the more confirmed in that opi nion, by a Letter which we received this morning from our Correspondent at Portsmouth, which states, that the American Ship the George, Cap tain JAmEs GREENOUGH, had just arrived from Fecamp, in Norma n dy, which place she left on Wednesday last. The Captain says, that the Ma gistrates were then busily employed in administer ing to th' people the oath of allegiance to the new Emperor of :France, BONAPARTE, who had been crowned a few days bfore. This step will bring the variance between France . and Russia to a point, for if the EMPEROR of RussiA should refuse to acknowledge BONAPARTE in his new charader, an immediate rupture will most probably be the con sequence. YFSTIP.DAY Dgtch Papers to the moth inst. were received in "f own, and it is also said that a zeur of a very late date has been received, which contains some official comments upon the Note lately presented by the Russian Minister at the Diet of "I"he manly and decisive cOndua of the EmpEßoa of RUSSIA is of course represented as the can of English intrigue, which is every where busily employed in stirring up the Powers OF the Coittinent against the mild, pacific, unas suming Government of France. The 01 - e6 . 1 of Great B;iHn is represented to he, that of involving the !ern fin,:er of Europe in a War with France ; b u t France, it is alled, however, feels no alarm, for she - is in posse scion of rescurces which will enable her to carry on the War for many years to come. Such is said to be the language of the Mosiiy; i r ; b ut we cannot vouch for its vccutacy, as v'e have pot seen the Paper. Ye,terdly the ROYAL FA NT I LY attended Divine Scr v.ice in their Private C!: 1 el in the morning. At }IA rapt one, 1115 MAI E TV, ~the DUKE of CAN!_ pßlvc t h e Qu E and PR ',NU F.SSFS, in the oidcr,' 'tonk an airing on the Greenwich road, . 0 1,d le; urned soon ;acct. 1,12 r. Yest(fday, about two o'clock, the Russign, Ara, A MIO N G all the artifices set on foot by the,ANTI PREROGATIVE PRINTS, the Public would hardly Lave expelled such a bare-faced, foolish declaration as one importing that the New Administration is not formed agreeably " to the 'will and the wishes of fits MAJEiriv." There is a double folly in such a declarition, because it is totally at variance with the obvious fad, and because it is egi tt hy in opposition to all that the same Prints have been la b.,urieg to impress upon the ~Public ever since a change of Ministry becalm known. Nay, it is in opposition to a part of the very article which ven tures to make a decleration so indecent and so false; for ehe Morning Paper alluded to observes, that i% the ROYAL PREROGATIVE may alike set at nought the interposition of Parliamentary advice, or the solicitation of the National wish, and that it mast be ind;scr;isi;;aiely acqui“ced in, whether Ca ricioudj or Constitutionally exercised." It is evi„ deirt that this irreverent mode of treating the Krt:c's iißt:RocATiv E is inter,-led to have a re_ . ference to the present moment, though it is express-` ed in the same breath which declares a belief that the New Administration is not formed agreeably " to His MAJESTY'S quill and wishes."—lf the N ew Administration is nor, in all respells, formed agreeably to His MAJESTY'S wishes, the blame is only ini,Aitable to those who rejetted His MAjes- TY'., gracious desire •to restore them to office ; fur the warmest aivocates of Mr. Fox will hardly say hit His MAJESTY'S 'will and wishes are thwarted by the * non_admission of that Gentleman to a situa_ lion in the Cabinet. But to all such disloyal lan, guage, and such fallacious declarations, the proper teener is,, that as far as depended on HIS MAJESTY, i is :will and v,:ishe; have been complied with ; that HIS MAJESTY has attended "to she interposition of Parliamentary advice," in,,the change of Ministry, and to the solicitation of the National wish," in abusing for his Minister the Statesman to whose integrity, wisdom, and experience the National wishes were direded, and who fully possesses the - National confidence That wise and virtuous . Statesman comes into office in a manner most ho. rourable to himself and most satisfadory to all who arc not corrupted by interest, or blinded by fac tion : he dutifully attends to the call of his Soya. • APR IL 30.-We state with pleasure, that orders have been sent from England to Commodore HOOD, and the English Courts ,i.‘ Vice-Admiralty in Ame rica and the West Indies, not to consider any blockade of the islands of Martinique and Guada. ' loupe as existing, unless in respect to particular ports which trny be aaually invested, and then not to capture vessels bound to such ports, unless they be previously warned not to enter them. MAY 2.—Captain FOVTER, who arrived at New.. bury Pott on Thursday from Guadaloupe, was boarded by a British Vessel of War, and his Re gister endorsed as follows, verbatim :—Martinique being under blockade, you are forbid to enter any port therein on your peril, or if you do, you will become a prize ot any of His Majesty's Ships or Vessels of War. (Signed) DAVID CANtrtqt,t.,. - Conner of 11. M. siaop Drake. - In the Philadelphia Gazette, we have the two following paragraphs : " It is reported, that the Spanish Ambassador and our Government are so much a t variance, that the latter has baen induced to address the Court of Spain to reed the Marquis. c' It is also stated, that some dissatisfaaion exists among the Members of the Government, and that several resignations may be expeded." An American Ship, which touched at the Isle of France, brings the .following intelligence: " That Captain FL I:lot:as, of His . M ilest e's I Navy, with several others, were detairied as Pri soners. , i " That the Troops arrived from Eneope were be tween two and three thou•ani men : they have also a very strong and well disciplined Militia, formed into two small Corps of Artillery and several Rata lions of Infanttl' ; besides which there are different Squadrons of Light Cavalry, composed chiefly of inhabitants, who serve voluntarily. • There were a great number of Merchant Ships in the Port, chiefly ' French, some - Americans, and some Danei. There were a number of Sepoy Officers, who proposed to the Government to form Battalions of Africans; but Government pretended to be averse to the mea sure. It was imagined, however, that there were fifty Cafi•ries armeL: in an Expedition %thief' was ex peaed to take place early. The idea of forming Battalions of Africans appeared to be a favourite ()b -je6 with, and was confined to, the Sepoy Officers, though others reported that it was seriously intend ed by the French Government, particularly since the French Squadron had been in India, as- it was understood that the English Sepoys entertained par ticular apprehensions of those people. This opi nion, as is natural to suppose, there was no back wardness in disseminating. '' Fort North West was exceedirTly foul, and the French admitted that it would nut be difficult to stop np the mouth of it, and that the most rigid discipline was observed both in the Army and Navy." . EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM NEW yoltg, mny I, 1804— " Last evening I received a letter from General DESSALINES, stating, that as the Privateers out of Cuba had harassed the trade of St. Domingo, he had sent an Officer to the Spanish Governor, to say, that he wished to live in peace with all his neighbours, , hut unl ess t h e F renc h Privateers were totally ex . pelled fr o m, a n d denied refuge in the pou s o f C u b a he w ou ld immediately invade the island wirl, a force sufficient to suppress all his ellealiti• ' 1 4ln qi i i t e „f opinion that the General is fully competen t u cxe. cute hi.-. threat," blssador 11ac Itl interview with I-L y at his G.

American Papers to the 3 , 1 inst. are received. We have selened the following articles from them : Accounts from Martinique were bronghtioN Q w. T,,k by Captain APPLFTuN, Who arrieecE:lhere af ter a passage. of 25 days, on the 25th of April.— At the rime of his departure, an immediate attack on the Island was expeCted. The merchants were removing their effeCis into the interior, and the Pub lic Offices were preparing to follow the example. A very determined resistance was expected, as the Garrison and inhabitants had resoltred to hold out to the last extremity. There are other accounts which come down ten days later. These were hreught by Captain PE ARSON, who arrived at New-York, after a passage of only fifteen days. He left the Island on the tztli of April, and it was understoo4 that the attack would be made the subsequent day. Admiral DucicwoßTH had arrived at Barbadoes with a reinfarce►nent of Ships Troops. American vessels are frequently carried into the Havannah by French Privateers, which cruize without any Commission. A Schooner from Phi ladelphia, was lately plundered of five thousand dol lars in specie. Letters from Philadelphia of the 26th of April, brought by a Gentleman who left the Havannah about the middle of that month, state, that LAvoi- LE T , the French General, had demanded a Loan of zoo,ooo Dollars from the Governtient of that Set. tleqlent. Not being able to advance this sum, they advanced 50,000. It was reported, that the French were preparing an expedition to Hispaniola with all possible dispatch. NEW YORK, APRIL 27. —The elenion for Go. vernor closed yesterday, after a severe contest. The votes of the nine wards were cavassed ; and at the close. of the poll the following was the state of the numbers :—For Mr. BURR, 36t—Judge LEWIS, 360.—Majority for Mr. BURR, 401. We also learn that Mr. BURR has a majority of 86 in Staten Island. Citizen JEROME BONAPARTE and his Lady were then in Philadelphia, and it was supposed he would make that city his future residence. The Echo Sloop of War has captured a French transport from the Havannah, with 350 troops on board. A,/ //AL NEWS.

Yesterday the Perseus Bomb, Capt. SEARLE, went alongside the Sheer-111)11c to take out her mor tars and beds, preparatory to her being paid off, having been found to want more repairs than it is convenient to give her at present. The Penelope, Rattler, and Cruizer,are expeaed here immediately, to repair the damages they sus tained in the late At.lion. A Court Martial was this day held on board of His Majesty's Ship Am - 1.?1 , 5t, in this Harbour, on Mr. job,' Bamh, Gunner of the said Ship, for con. tempt, drunkenness, and mutinous expressions. The Court was of opinion that the charges were in part proved, but in consideration of the good certifi cates he produced, and having been confined eight months, did only adjudge him to be dismissed his pre sent employment as Gunner of the Arn'tLl ) 'st, and to be put in such ship, and such capacity, as the Cpmmanding Officer shall think fir. We understand that a Court or Inquiry will be held next Tuesday on Capt. CAMPBELL, the Officers and Shi e 's Company of the ALTethyst Frigate, re spefting the late Engagement which that Ship had with some Privateers off North Bergen, CR F. r NocK, MAY 22.—The Barbara, Love, ar rived here last night from Tobago, after; passage of seven weeks. Sailed in- company with the Ainerica, HAG c aa - r, and a Brig bound for Norfolk; the Ame rica passed last night for Port-Glasgow. The ship Roberts, of Bristol, Letter of Marque, was to have sailed with the Barbara. The Margarets, of Glas gow, arrived at Tobago from hence on the is: of April. Captain Love spoke a ntr!Ter of vessels on !he passage, hut owing to the late hour of his arrival we could not obtain particu!ars. The Neltune,W ILL] Ams, from Virginia to Liver pool, having experienced, bad weather on the Ranks of Newfoundland on the 17th of March, lost her fore and mainmast, and being very leaky,!intended to. make the first Port ; the passengers were taken out by a vessel from Salem to Belfast, and arrived at , The William, LI sop., sailed from Miramichi for Liverpool the 28(11 November last, and has not since been heard of. LOSS OF THE PORPOISE AND THE CATQ, IN THE CHINA SEAS. TFIF following Account relative to the loss of the Cato, and His M4jesty's Armed Vessel the Por poise, will he found interesting The Porpoise, commanded by Lieut. FOWLER, in company with the Cato, Captain PARK, and Bridgewater, were on their passage from New South Wales to China. On the 17th of August, the Porpoise struck on a coral reef of rocks, 208 miles to the North East of Sandy Cape, and 73s miles from Sidney Cove, new South Wales, in Lat. 22 dig. z r min, South, and Long. Is; deg. 35 min. East. The waves running high, the surf soon broke over the ship, and in a short time carried away her foremast ; the situation of the Ship soon rendered it absolutely necessary to cut away her other masts. The Cato was not able to avoid the rocks, and struck soon after. The situation of the • Crew on hoard the Cato was most distressing ; the violence of the waves soon carried away the masts. and she had not ldng struck before the sea broke up her decks, and carried almost every thing away...— The only place left for the Crew was within the fore-chains, to which they clung in the most peri loin state during the whole of the night, the sea run ning mountains high, expeding their destruaion every instant. In the morning they perceived the Bridgequater steering her courses aft, to avoid the rocks ; which she fortunately did, and was !nit sight of the next dq. During the day, Capt. BLINDERS, who lately commanded the investigator, and who was a pas senger on board the Porpoise, with the assistanct.ol Lieutenant Fowt.Ea., launched one of the boats be longids to the Porpoise ; and, the weather moderar_ j og , succeeded in relieving the crew of the Cato, who ere landed On a small sand hank at no great dis tance, soon after which the Ship went to pieces.
