ON Sunday arrived here his Majesty's frigate Triton,
Captain John M'Laurin, from his Excellency Sir George
Brydges Rodney. ,•
We have authority from his. ExieHencv General Mathew,
Commander in chief, &c. &c. &c. to pubbfh the following
extrafl of a letter from his Excellency Sir George Brydges
Rodney, &c. &c. &c. dated at sea the 15th of April, relative
to the engagement between the British and French fleets on
the 12th infant. • '
" The action began at seven o'clock in the morning; and
continued till half past seven in the evening, without intermis
sion,. The Formidable fired 80 broadsides. The Ville de Parrs
had zoo killed and upwards of 200 wounded, when flic struck.
The following is a lift of French (hips taken and funk, viz.
La Ville de Paris, no guns ? Had on board to the eifefo'
°ment T,300 men.
Le Glorieux, 74 7,0 men. IjoTotdiers.
Le Ctefar, • 74 7,0 1,0 ,
Le He&or, 74 750 15°
Le Ardent, 6, 650 100
One funk, name unknown."
Extract of a Letter from Sir Samuel Iloob to General
Mathew.
“ The Andromache has now left the Fleet for England, on board
of which ship is that truly gallant and amiable young nobleman,
Lord Robert Manners, who has very unfortunately loft one leg,
Founded in the other, and has his right arm broke. Captain
Bayne of the Alfred, and Captain Blair of the Anson, are killed ;
and Captain Savage of the Hercules, is wounded."
It was the Czfar and not the Glorieux, that was blown up
by the carelessness of a marine, and 400 of her crew unfortu
nately periled, the people who bearded her did not belong
to the Triton, as has been mentioned. The Glorieux was
difmafted, and not taken possession of till the next morning.
The Ville de Paris did not strike till it was almost dark. She
had been attacked by feycral of our ships, and was making off,
when that brave officer, Sir Samuel Hood, in the Baifieur,
threw himfelf in her way, and after 'battering her for some
little time, she flruck to him, and was taken poffe^Fion of by
Captain James Deacon, then Sir Samuel's First Lieutenant.
A little more day- light would have made a considerable addi
tion to our capture; but the enemy Tole awav under cover of
the night, in a most wretched condition, particularly in their
bulls, their chain pumps going continually. Never were .men
more determined and unanimous in doing their duty to their
King and Country than those of our fleet were; and though
the loss of the brave men who fell noon the occasion is much
to be lamented, yet, in the whole, it is considerably less than
might have been expected, from the length of the battle; only
336 were killed, and 750 wounded, in all our,fleet, in both
engagements.
His Excellency Sir George Bridges Rodney carried his prizes
with him to Jamaica. —The unfortunate Compte de Graffe was
on board the Formidable, but was allowed at his own regneft,
to return with bis suit, on„board his late flrip, the Ville de
Paris, after she had been put in a proper Rate.
Oh Thurfdaylaft, a feu de joie was fired from his Maiefty's
Filips here and at Gros Tflet, and from the garrisons of Morne
"Fortune, and Pigeon Island, on the above great event.
New-York, Ma, 30. A number of base metal counterfeits,
struck in imitation of Spanish milled dollars, are now circu
lating in this city.—One of the fabricators is already appre
hended, and the implements with which the execrable bnfinefs
has been done, seized.—These wortblefs dollars hwy be easily
drftinguifhed from the genuine, by their thinness, deficiency
5h weight and fplendonr ; —the coarse impression of the Spaniflr
Monarch's head and arms on the sides, and bad milling on the
edges —They are dated in 177.6, and make a crackling noise
o'n a flight attempt to bend them.
Extraa of a letter from St. Luria, dated May T 2.
" The last advice from Sir George Rodney, is dated tire 18th
of April; he wAs then on ins way to Jamaica. Sir Samuel
Hood was then dispatched with eighteen fail of the line, in
pursuit of the enemy's Mattered fleet; and was supposed
to be in fight of some of their fternmoft ships, near the Mona
Taffage.
“ I imagine you have seen a lift of the flips taken from the
■enemy; I have inclofed you a lift of the killed and wounded.
Two of Jhedifabled ships of the line have got into Guadaloupe,
CT. into Martinico, and we have certain advice from St. Kitts,
that another line of battle ship funk off that island some days
after the a&ion.
" There is not the least doubt, in case their fleet had not
been defeated, that they intended to attack Jamaica. Trit
March there were 23,000 men at Cane Francois, besides these
which faded with the fleet from Martinico.''
Captain Barkley of the Prudent, who distinguished himfelf
it) Sir Samuel Hood's engagement with Count de Graffe on
die 25th and 26th of January hfi, was detached on a Separate
service from Admiral Rodney's fleet a few days previous to
the actions cf the 9th and 12th of April, and is now Commo
dore at St. Lucia.
New-Yorr, June 7.
To bis Excellency Sir GUY CARLETQN, Knight of the most
honourable Ord°r of the Bath, General and Commander in
Chief of alibis Majeftfsforces in North- America, &c. &c.
The humble ADDRESS of the Loyal Refugees of the
Province of New-York.
OUR difpeffed lituation prevented our congratulating your
Excellency immediately on your arrival, and paying you that
tribute of applause which yotir benevolence and humanity
to the Refugees and other loyal fubjy&s in Canada so jufily
merit.
The appointment of a gentleman cf your Excellency's di
stinguished abilities, to the supreme command of his Majesty's
forces in North-Ameiica, at this important conjuncture, affords
u^iverfal fatisfadtion: and we flatter ourfeKes, that the fame
tool, determined and dignified condua, which gave so much
luftre to your administration in Canada, will, ere long, unite
America with the Parent State, on principles truly honourable
and beneficial to both : and that Grcat-jbitajn will ultimately
fruftrate the insidious designs, and humble the pride of her
natural enemies.
Many of the King's friends, in this Province, have fuffered
ignominious deaths, for the uniform attachment to Govern
ment; many have been persecuted, imprisoned and baniflied
from their estates and families, whilst others of us, after being
treated with unparalleled cruelty and oppression, were ftript
of our property, and obliged to seek an asylum here and in Ca
nada. Thousands are now in actual service, and numbers
have perished nobly in defence of their King and the Constitu
tion.
But notwithstanding all we have fuffered, of which we can
mot but have ft deepTenfe, we are sincerely disposed, if a happy
reconciliation can be efft fled, chearfully to concur in so defire
able an object, fully relying on the justice, wisdom and cle
mency of our Sovereign, and the purity of your Excellency's
intentions, that every proper regard will be paid to the fafety
of our persons and property, as well as those of all his Majesty's
loyal fubjeefts : But if the fame deftruftive system of ludepen-
AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE.
CARENAGE, (St. Lucia) April 30.
(fence mould frill be blindly adhered to, and such equitable
offers as your Excellency may be authorized to tender be finally
rejected, we will as readily hazard our lives as we have facri
ficed our fortunes, to assist in bringing the Colonies to a re
union with the Mother Country.
Signed and presented 6, a duhiber of Gentlemen from each
County, in behalf off hemfekes and the other Refugees of
this Province, toco refding suit bin the British Lines.;
To which his Excellency was pleased to return the follow
ing ANSWER.
Gentlemen, May 30, 1782.
I AM highly obliged by the 'good opinion you are pleased
to entertain of me ; my attentions towards the Refugees have
been such as my duty required; and which their lufierings
and services have so eminently deserved. I have always endea
voured to regulate my phblick conduct by the principles of
general benevolence, as well as by those of my particular duty
to my Sovereign and mv country. I lament, Gentlemen, the
diffractions and calamities of the British empire, and I am very
fare that all the above principles concur, in drawing from me
the warmed wishes, that peace and union hiay be reported on
such generous and liberal ttrihs, as may insure greatnef, and
security to the whole, as well as happipefs and freedom to all
its parts.. GUY CARLETON.
June 3. A letter from good authority, dated Barbadoes,
April 30, after relating ihe success of the British fleet over
that of the French in the Caribee Islands, concludes thus:
" This formidable fleet (now totally routed) with a land-force
of above 12000 men, was not intended to aft against Jamaica,
but to file off from the Cape diredly, to the River St. Law
rence, and proceed to Quebec; if that was not immediately
carried, it was not to be regarded, but the land forces were
to take peffeffion of all above that city, in high expedition to
be joined by the clergy, and the greatest part of the Cana
dians; thoroughly pofirfs the country, and fortify all tfedn
lets; re-occupy all the tipper posts; renevy their former friend
fhip with the Indians; put in full execution the plan they had
adopted and began to execute in 1754, by the Ohio and Fort
Du Qpefne, and open a communication with their force at
Gloucester and York in Virginia, which they were to fortify
and keep poheffion of, as well as of all ti at dominion. The
whole a deep laid scheme to bridle and enslave America, and
to prevent, if possible, the Ehglifh and Americans, though
joimd, from being capable to resist, who have both of them
the greatest reason to exult on such a happy difeovery. ihe
whole scheme is, by this victory (in all human probability)
blasted, and now rendered impracticable."
We hear the French Troops under the Command of the
Count de Rochatnbeat, in Virginia, are soon expected to the
Northward.
