LATEST FROM GUADELOUPE,
As the accounts refpeding Guada
loupe have been very contradictory,
the following facts are thought worth
notice. The British evacuated the
fort at Basseterre the nth of Decem
ber. which gave the French complete
possession of all Guadaloupe. The
s'h Jan, a frigate failed from Point-a-
Petre, said to be bound for Virginia—
her tender returned the next day, and
informed chat the frigate fell in with
a British ship of the line, between
Gualaloupe and the Saints—after an
engagement of five hours, the frigate
being difmafted, struck. The 6th
and 7th, a squadron of ten fail, most
ly store fhipi, with two commission
„, arrived from France—The largest
and most valuable of the squadron
was taken by a British 74 off the east
end of the Island— She had (it was
said) 600 men, with all the ordnance,
ftorei and engineers on board—The
Commodore was imprisoned on his
arrival for not fighting. The fleet
brought in one battalion of French
grenadiers, and in my opinion, as I
law them landed, about 600 other
troops, chiefly people of colour, who
had been sent off from Martinique &
Guadeloupe by the British at the time
of their taking the Islands— They
were in elegant uniform, and as fine
looking troops as I ever saw. The
Bth, the Concord and a sloop of war
arrived from Boston.
On tbe i2tb Nov. tbe intelli
gence was received at Amflerdam
that tbe KING of Spain badjign
ed a TREATY of PEACE with
FRANCE, on tbe\Btb of 08. at
Fontarabia ; and that all boftili
ties ceased accordingly on tbe bor
ders of Spain. Orrery.
INTERESTING!
A letter from a re(pedable charac
ter at Philadelphia, dated the rq'h
ult. to a gentleman in this town, lays,
X The treaty is not arrived—no fur
ther accounts of its contents. We are
all anxious for its arrival before the 3d
of March.—! can tell you one piece
of good news—it is said and believed,
that the Dey of Algiers i$ disposed to
make peace with this country on mo
derate teems. Col. Humphreys, our
Minitier at Portugal, who has beeti
charged with that business; Unexpect
edly arrived here a few days ago, and
it is conjectured hi# coming is in con
sequence of feme arrangements to that /
object, and it is said he Will leave the
United States in a few days to return
for Europe to assume his mir.ifterial
functions. You may rest assured I
believe on the truth of the disposition
in Algiers towards a peace with or,
and on the expedition of its being
soon accompfithed."

house in Cadiz, dated the 27th Nov.
to a merchant in Philadelphia.
" There was Some time ago talks
of a rupture between the Emperor of
Morocco and the United States ; but
we are happy to advise you, that the
best harmony is likely to subsist be
tween these powers. The Algerines
are fairly blocked in the Streights;
and while the Portuguese, their natu
ral enemies, continue to guard the ,
Gut, as they have done constantly.
since tbe late affair, the American
flag in these seas may be considered
the fafeft of all others."
