Extras of a letter from a gentleman in Martin

“ A fleet of 12 fail arrived off

troops on board. Ten of them got
into Baffererre ; one having on board
30,000 stand of arms, 400 engineers,
and all the artillery, was taken by the
Bellona frigate, and carried into Mar

of fix frigates and fix armed ships.—
Capt. Faulkner, of the Bellona, was
killed.

NAVAL ENGAGEMENT. £
Several accounts have been published
of a recent engagement in the Weft
indies, between a French and Eoghfh
frigate ; but very little dependence
can be placed on them. Anxious to
communicate the most authentic in
telligence, we have obtained informa
tion of a letter to a gentleman, from
a captain of an American vessel, who
was on board the Engtifh ship during
the engagement, who informs that
this adion (one of the most obstinate
and bloody in the annals of naval com
bats) was between the Blanche, Brit
ish frigate of 36 guns, and 250 men,
'commanded by Capt. Faulkner, and
La Pink, a French frigate of 36 guns,
and 400 men. The engagement be
gan at one o'clock in the morning,
and continued until four—the Blanche
, loft her Captain and 20 men killed,
and 40 wounded ; and La Pink had
70 men killed and 114 wounded.—
The Pink,loft all her masts, and the
Blanche her main and mizeri mast.—
The engagement, being in the night,
was attended with many peculiar cir
cumftahces. The Blanche had been
in chafe of the veflel commanded by
the gentleman from whom these par
ticulars came, bound to. Guadeloupe,
and was difeovered by the Pink, th'en
lying under Fleur d'Epee, in Guada
loupe, which immediately dipt her
cable, and followed the Blanche. AH
two o'clock they met, laid each oth
er along fide§ and a desperate battle
ensued —during which the crew of the
Blanche, unperceived, made the Pink
faft with a hawser round the bobftay,
and brought her into a very difad
vantageous situation. Capt. Faulk
ner being killed, his Lieutenant veer
ed away the hawser, which confined
the Pink, and brought her under his
quarter, hlhing the Pink's bowsprit
to his mizen mast. In this situation,
finding he could not rake his antago
nist to advantage from the ordinary
stern ports, he ordered two cannon to
'be loaded, and firing both of them
together, blew off the upper part of
his Blip's stern ; and from these new
iuvfflcd port holes raked the Pink
fore and aft, for near two hours, en
tirely difmaftirg her, and making the
havock among her crew, which the
above return states ; while the only
return the Pink could make was her
small arms, and from the darkness of
the night could not perceive what
made her faft. The crews of both
vessels behaved with the most invin
cible courage ; particularly the French
—who bore the deadly and raking fire
of the Englilh a long time after even
the hope of escape or conquest had
vanished. The Eoglifh frigate was
so disabled, as not to be able to con
du& her wreck of a prize into port ;
and a vessel was Cent from The Saints
to tow them in. The Blanche w^
fitted out at Halifax to fight the Con
corde ; and the Pink at Guadaloupe
to fight the Blanche,'
I^Theaccount of the Bellona frigate
having joined in the engagement, is
not true. Perhaps the mistake orig
inated in blending this with the ac
count of her having taken a French
store-ship bound to Guadaloupe, with
droops, &c. on board, and which had
arrived fafe at St, Kitts, r \
The above particulars ate from an
American Capt. who was on board
the Blanche, and who is a gentleman
of stria veracity. Other accounts re
, ceived from various quarters, confirm
the most of the above. f^/C
After the engagement, the Capt.
was dismissed with his vessel,
'Citizen Columbe, charged with a
.cemmiffion by the Government of
France, is arrived at Newport, from
whence he proceeds to the Ambsfc
dor of the French Republic, at Phila
delphia.
I OF POLAND.§
' This unhappy Republic is now
wholly fubjea co the Empress of Rufr
fia, and the King of Proffia. After
the surrender of Warsaw, General
Woeorzewfki attempted to make a
stand in the Palatinate of Sendomir,
with about 3000 men, the remnants
of mighty battles fought in vain ; but
being deftirute of provisions, they dis
persed on the approach of two armies
of Ruffians and Ruffians, under Gen.
Foefon and Khift. About 6000 Pol
ish cavalry are in Gallicia.
A late Paris paper mentions, that
the celebrated Condorcet is dead.
THE TREATY,
between the United States and Geat
britain, has not yet, to our knowledge,
arrived at Philadelphia ; ^O3 it is fear
ed was not laid before the Senate, for
their approbation, before the rising of
Congress.
We are told, that the dispatches
were sent by a special messenger, in
the December packet, the arrival of
which we have not heard of.
The Treaty is mentioned in the
Paris papers, without a difappiobap
irig sentence. The present conflict
ed authorities of France, do not dis
grace themselves, like some other con
ftmned authorities, with intermeddling
with the affairs of other Nations. —■
They speak of th? United States, as
a Republic, nearly allied to thech ;
but they do not lug our concerns
head and shoulders into theirs. They
appear to be Frenchmen and Patti
ots.

WALPOLE, FEB. 17.
On Saturday the 10th uk. the fol
lowing melancholy and surprising ac
cident took place. The house of Mr.
Roger Smith, of Grafton, (in the date
of Vermont,) was unfortunately fee on
fire by three small children, the old
est being only 9 years of age, while
the parents were both from home, by
means of carrying a candle roto the
chamber, where there was a large
quantity of undressed flax, laid up for
drying, which was instantly absorbed
with all its contents, together with
the three children, who were found
elafped together in one corner of the
chamber.

-PARIS, DEC. 6.
The crimes of which the members
ot the revolutionary committee of
Nifeh*ve been guilty, have depopu
lated q coxfderabh part of the French
territory ; They have caused to perifo

and virtuous 0^ ; The defoliated
banks of the Loire, witness against

names with horror to posterity, 11
these execrable crimes remain unpun

mournful silence, wait the dissolution
of the Republic, and the return of fer

city ; we continue to pregteft with
confidence under the flandard of the
Convention, since it is no longer gov
erned by the faaious, and to pursue
with ardour those Villain., who have
covered France with miferysnd cru
elty, and who yet pretend to excuse
their crimes, by laying, they a&ed
under an authority, which it is known
they held in chains ; as if there could
be any power io the world which had
the right to permit those &ff.ffioa
tions, plunderings and robberies of
every kind, of which our country has
been the theatre ; as if there could
exist ^ny authority on earth, which
had the right, to immerse a whole peo

to overturn the holiest laws of nature,
and to replunge it, as it were, into
that chaos, from whence the great
governor of the universe firft drew it.
APPOINTMENTS.

Mr. Cobb, of Maffachufetti, was ap

United States—this was premature —
Joleph Haberlham, Esq. of Georgia
is appointed to that office.
Jonathan Jackfoo, Esq. of Massa
