AVE RICA. NTW YORK, A. terktay morning the Frehch Friga , es Didon and Sy got under weigh, with an intentinn, as WAS UnderutoOd, of prcceeding to sea. When they arrived at the Hook, a strong S trtherly breeze and fiood.tide coming in, they were obliged tai come to ahchor in Gravesend Bay. They were at one time within ab,tit four miles of the Leander and Corr. brian. When they hove in sight the British S!tips each fired a gun to windward in token of de. fiance. The French Frigates, it is expelled, intend to preeeed at,all hazards. Atrouer 3 r.—The French Frigates have come to their former anchorage near the City. It is said, they went down fur the purpose of cleaning their copper. A small firing was heard yesterday, which induced the. opinion that an engagement had taken place. We understand, however, that it was no thing more than a sham.fight between the Leander and Camir;aa, jest eutside of the Hook, and in sight of the French Frigates. Seri. 4.—Capt. DePRAID, of the French Na. tional Corvette Li Amitie, arrived at Savannah in eighteen clays from Porto Rico, mentions, that cm the 3d of June the Brigands made an attack on St. Jago. The Spaniards, who were TOOO men, sent to St. Domingo for a French ()ulcer to command them. Gen. DEVAUX was sent by Gen. FERRAND for that purpose. The Brigands were defeated, and driven back with considerable loss. Capt. STORY, from Gonaives, informs, that an Army of 2000 men, under the command of the lit,:ck Gen. DeSCAL INES, were mustering to proceed against the City of St. Domingo. GeV. FERRAN!), with the French Troops, be. sides tie City of Sr. Domingo, occupy St. Jago and Azle.- Col. PeRELTZ commands the Spanish Na. tionol Guards, who fight like veteran Soldiers. In the defeat of Monet N ES s at St. jag°, by General FEIRAND, the former bad zOOO men killed, and a great many more wounded. The enraged Black Chief, to avenge his loss, cruelly ordered several Whites and 'Mulattoes to be massacred, and site Cities of Monte Christi and Fort Dauphin reduced to ashes. St. Domingo is in a complete state of defenct; and if the French Agents in the United States exert. themselves in its favour, it must hold out until peace is'established, however remote that period may he. We hear that Capt. Castel., an Aid.de.Camp of General FE RR AND, Commander in Chief of St. .mingo, leis arrived at B dtimore, in order to de. mend the Troops lately ordered to France by M. P10,11()N,' the French Charge d'Affaires, and to procure supplies fo ‘ r the use of the I' tench Army in St. Domingo, which for a year past have suffered every hardship. SEPTEMBEA e. —Yesterday Gen. Aketsritoxo, Ambassador from the United States to France, as a successor to the He s. ROBERT R. LIVINGtTON, our preaent Minister, embarked on board the Ship Thomas, ;in . Nantz, anti was saluted by Fort Jay, es he passed Governor's An Anirrican Squadron continues to blockade some of the Barbary Ports, .$ Letter from an Officer of the United States` Schooner Nautilus', dated Syracuse, April 17, says—" Every exertion is now making for the liberation of the Prisoners taken in the Philadelphia Frigate'. It is said our Commodore "means to bombard Tripoli. We had a brush not long since with the Neapolitan Gun.hoats, who very prudently kept under the gums of the Batteries. I have much pleasure in informing you of several cap. turns made by the different Vessels of the Squadron. One was a vessel having a Tripolitan Ambassador on hoard, with presents for the GRAND SIGNIOR. An English Brig was also captured by the Nauti. At, and ,i Ship by the (Veal: for violating the block. ade. These captures have excited much surprise in this quarter, and it is said that we have not a suf. fieient force to constitute the blockade. The prize made by the kyren has a considerable quantity of specie on hoard, and she is to be sent to the United States for adjudication." LoUISIANIA.—This Country, from the Frenchi. fted manners and opinions of the inhabitants, is like. ly to prove a very troublesome acqui s iti on to t h e United States. The inhabitants have already de. dared themselves dissatisfied with the Law of Con. gress providing for the Government of the Terri. tory, and have , prepared a Remonstrance on the stobj , oi, from which we extra& the following para. graphs " There is one subjea, extremely interesting to us, in which great care has been taken to prevent ally incest rLnee, even by the Governor anti Coun. Fil seletted by the President himself. The African Trade is absolutely prohibited, and severe penalties imposed on a traffic free to all the Atlantic States who chose to engage in it, and, as far as relates to procuring the Subiatts of it from other States, per. ,Mit fa even in the territory of the Mississippi. " It is not our intention to enter on arguments that have become familiar to every femme' on this ques. 'don ; we only ask the right of deciding it for our. Selves, and of being placed in tills raped, on an equal footing with other States. To the necessity of employing African labourers, which arises from chi. mate, and the species of cultivation pursued in warns latitudes, is added a reason, in this country peculiar to itself. The banks raised to restrain the waters of the Mississippi can only be kept in repair by those whose constitutions and habits of labour enable them to resit the combined diens of a deleterious mois. lure, and a degree of heat intolerable to Whites ; this labour is great ; it requires many hands. and it its all important to the,vcry existence of our Coun try. Is, therefore, this traffic is justifioble any where, it is surely in this province, where, unless it I. permitted, Cultieation must cease, the improve. merits of a Centre' be destroyed, and the great river resume its entpite over our ruined Melds and demo. tithed hahitationa. " Another stibjeli,. not indeed growing ,out of thisb .u , a rea( moment to us, is the sudden change of language in ail Public Offices . and Admi a nistrition of justice. Ibe greet matt of the toga. speak prol4ing 11#4 toe Os each. at At present, fui the slightest communication an Interpreter must be proemed ; in more important concerns, our interest buffers from not being fully eXphitled; a phrase, a circumstance seemingly of little moment, and which a person uninterested in the affair will not take the trouble to translate, is frequently decisive, and produces the most important effeas."

'Some Dutch bler; have also been received, which mention that BONAPARTE, having accom plished the °bird of his visit to Mentz, had quitred that City.

It is supposed that IioNAPAKTIt found himself offended with the Constituted Authorities for no. Initiating these Deputies without his previous per. mission and orders. This has eaused much laughter upon one side, and discontent on the other ; and is another proof of the precarious liberty tni , yed by ever' BOII,O*ARTE'S favourite placemen. CAyvA. RELLI, as well as General MURAT, are still at Paris, and wait for another Courier trOm BUNAPAPTE be fore they publish his official list, as they have vrt:- turned to propose some alterations, parrictilarly, as Senator FltiOUlls, appointed by BONAPARTR to be `of the Deputation, died suddenly."

The Brecon Volunteers are stationed for a month's duty at Hereford, The Royal [-Lase Guards (Blues) are expeaed to march from Canterbury in the course of the castling week. Their dtstination is said to be Windsor ; the ist Dragoon Guards are mentioned as likely to succeed them. The 52i (Reserve) Battalion of the 57th Regi ment, under the command of Major SHNDFORTII, marched into► Canterbury on Wednesday, and yestcr. day proceeded on its route for Ramsgate, where they are to embark fir Jersey.

The Letter from Fouell a to the French Clergy, which has a, , peared in the Public. Prints as well as that from Cardinal 11/wRY, is said to be a flibrica. lion by a certain ingenious French journalist, who generally employs his inventive powers in that man. ner when there is a dearth of intelligence.
