/Charlestown, February 16.
YESTERDAY arrived here a Hoop from New Providence,
and a car tel from Pensacola.
Extras of a letter from New-Providence, dated the 7th infant.
" A flag of truce from St. Croix arrived yesterday morning,
By her papers, printed in that island, are received, which fay,
that a vessel had made her escape from St. Christopher's, and
just arrived there, and informed, that Admiral Hood had come
down with 24 fail of the line, and attacked the french fleet,
which was reduced to his number, and that they were engaged
when the vessel came away. All aecoun^ag ee, that the
French have made several attacks upon Brimstone-hill, in every
one of which they had been repulsed with great daughter.
“ Our privateering again begins to raise its head. Since the
17th of January we have had brought in here two monev prizes
from the Havana bound to the Cape; one with 43,500 dol
lars, the other with 23000. Besides these, the privateer Ship
Prince William-Henry, belonging to New-York, has sent in
a fine brig of 16 guns, from Martinique for Boston, with rum,
sugar, coffee, &c. and yesterday she came over the bar, with
a Ship and a schooner from Philadelphia, both laden with flour."
In addition to the intelligence in the above extras, the fol
lowing further particulars are received. That Admiral Rod
ney was arrived at Barbados with ten ships of the line—that
the French had loft, in three attacks on Brimeftone-Hill, 800
men killed—that Basseterre had made terms—that Sandy-Point
was burnt—that two French line of battle ships were funk—
and, that it was on the 17th of January when the fleets were
left engaged.
Extrati of a letter from the Country, dated the iitb infant.
“ With considerable difficulty the Rebel ATembly has been
convened ; and it is Shrewdly fufpeded, that business of conse
quence has been tranfaded, when there has net been present
the number of members required by their Constitution.
" Mr. Rutledge madea flaming speech at the opening of the
session, replete with inventive and virulence; it contains the
noft fulfome compliments to the French Monarch, such as no
itaunca Republican could pay to a King. The composition
is so unlike, and indeed so superior to his former orations, that
we apprehend Dr. Ramsay, or feme other literary friend has at
Jeaft given it a revifak
“ Those members of Affembfy who hesitated about taking
their feats, but have since done it, willing to wipe offtheafper
fions of timidity or toryifm, eagerly go into everv violent m?a
fure. Individually they affeft to disapprove of this and that
proposal, but are either afraid or unwilling to make the lead
opposition to them in the House.
" Ra : fing Black Troops has been frequently talked of, and
even proposed. P met with apparent countenance from seve
ral, who were well aware it would not be confuted to by a
majority of the Foufe.
" There is a total hop to all Paper-currency, nothingbut spe
cie will do ; and how to collect a sum adequate to the exigen
cies of the State, will require more wisdom, or even villainy,
than these legislators jrofTtf;. Between 2 and 300,®00 dollars are
ordered to be immediately levied. The certificates, given by
Mr. Rutledge's indigo collectors ahd the Commissaries, will
be received in payme t. Sequestration and conflation are to
furnifh the funds forhroher in,dies, fay the devifers of ways
and means. This flbwons, ruinous and imoolitick measure
will certainly be warred into e"eR, to gratify the Back-coun=
trymen with a llu e of the plunder, and keep them in good
humour.'
" Wayne with a small corps of Continental infantry, and
some Georgia militia, is at Zubly's ofthe Sifters, on the south
fide o f Savannah r;ver. fie has also Moylandl cavalry, who,
with fame mounted militia, occasionally go down towards
Savannah and Ogeechie.
6 A French frigate lately arrived in Chefapeak-Bay from Old
France, after a short passage. She brought money for Ro
chambeau's troops. No publick intelligence received by her
has yet transpired, except the birth of a Dauphin, in honour
of which event, so interesting to the new American fubjetts
of the Grand Monarque, a feu de joie was fired in General
Greene's camp."
This afternoon arrived here a Rebel armed ship of 24 guns,
price to Hs Matefty's frigate Grana.
