CHARLES- TOWN, (S. CaroEna) fee 23.
About th:ee Weeks firice % French Gene
ral Officer, wane from Cape Francois in a 36
Gun Frigate, to claim Restitution,or remenlt
rate on the illegal Capture of federal F ench
Vessels — Admiral Gayton Having ordered a
former Veffelfent on that Errand to depart
immediately, on Pa n of being funk.
By a gentleman just arrived here, who was
in Jamaica the 17m of last month, we learn,
the Continental (loop of war Horner, was
carried in there (not into Antigua) the gth,
by the Porcupine (loop of war (lately Capt.
Johnson's, purchased at Curccoa) mounting
16 iron and 2 brass cannon, commanded by
the Hon. Capt. Cadogan—that the Porcu
pine had 5 men killed in the engagement —
and chat Capt. Nicholson and.his crew were
confined in irons, on board Admiral Gayton's
flip —That every vessel which the men of
war carried into Jamaica, even Bermudians
in ballast, and Frenchmen, were, under feme
pretence Or other, condemned and fold there
— And that a large and rich fleet, was cer
tainly to fail from thence for Great-Britain,
by the 15th iriftant, under convoy of the
King's aimed ship Kent of 36 guns and 160
men, Capt. Joseph Tathwell, and the Lively
man of war of 20 guns, with a like number
of men.
We are informed that His Excellency the
Count D. Argou, late the French King's
General at Martin que, arrived from thence,
at his new Government of Hispaniola, about
the i8 r h of laic Month. That about the
fame time, the Waihipgton Privateer of this
Scare, commanded by Capt. Hezekiah Am
thonv, arrived at Cape Nicola Mole, with
two Prizes, both Slo©ps, laden with Provisi
ons, fdppoled from New-York, bound for
Jamaica, And that, a Man of War Sloop
and an armed Snow, from Jamacia, having
fired upon the Hirondolle a French Frigate,
on the coast of Hilp^nioja, die returned the
Compliment in such Sort, that they loon
made the best of their way back to their Port,
to refit.
The French Veffd, from which a number
of Officers were landed last Monday, has
since arrived in a fafe Port. She is from
Bourdeaux,and left it the 26th ofMarch.On
the 2o:h of that Month, a vessel arrived 'here
with Dispatches from Congress, to the Hdn.
Dr. Franklin and other Agents of the Uni
ted Spates, resident in France, and carried
in two Eoglifh Prizes, which were immedi
ately fold.
A Fleet was to fa 1 for Great-Britain from
Antigua about the 20 hos June; and another
from MdTifippi, about the fame Time, uo~
der Convoy of a Man of War Shop, chiefly
for the West-Indies—those that were bound
to England, are fa d to have very rich Car
goes.
According to Advices from Holland, down to
about the 15th of April, by two Ships arrived at
Curacoa (one of them loaded, entirely with Am
munition and Military Scores) the States Gene
ral bad JuUnl, refolded toft out 5® Men of
War, for the Protean aftheir Trade, 12 of
which were already at Sea, and 2 of them daily
expelled at Curacoa, with 4 rich merchant-Ships
under Convoy. The Occasion of this sudden Ar
mament, is laid to be the Interruption the Dutch
Trade bad lately met with by Searches and Sei
zures of feme of their Fefth by Englifo Frigates ;
and the haughty Terms tn which Sir Joseph York,
bad demanded Satisfaflionfor the Cen luff of the
Governor of St. Eullatius, in " having returned
" the Salutes of American Feme's, fired at a Fri
"gate in Chace of an American under the Guns
" of the Fort, fufering an American privateer
" to bring in and di/pofe of a*St, Kitts Ffl
" th,ere, which it had made Prize of, and in
" countenancing the Americans generally ;" ac
companied with a Threat, tl at if proper Attention
was net immediately paid to his Demand, he had
Orders to quit the Hague ; to which their High
Mightirefes arfwere.l, 1 heir Governor couOnot
be condemned without being firft FarTlAthel ex
el was as open to His Exc.fhnccs to any:ne elf.
From St. Fuda^t^ we learn; tbit (^
French Brigantines loaded in this Srare, Hr
Martinique were lately taken & carried into
Antigua.—-That a small Schooner (which
aofwered to the Dfcription of the jenny,
Capt, Rails,) bei ngmg to Virginia, on H^
28th ult. took a Sloop, from Euhatia for
Antigua, laden with cotton; but was the
fame da, taken b, the Hind Man cf War,
which also retook the Prize.—And that on
theist Inst the Hind also captured two
Dutch Ships fiornSt. Euftaua, actually
bound for Holland.
