[We find no material foreign intelligence.
I' Some interesting Weftindian ar icles follow.
1)^ Capt. Herrick, arrived at Newbu
ryport, from Martinico, informs,
{lthat a fleet of about 40 fail of veff
j els under convoy of a64 gun ship,
) a frigate, and (loop of war, had ar,
Irived there, with jfa regiments of
, troops; but Capt. Herrick fayt, that
in several regiments which he count
ed, there were no&¥mp%than so
men.
Capt. Burr, arrived at New Lon

fleet of 200 met<har,:m!a having on
boird 6000 troops under convoy of
4 Chips of the line and a frigate#,
have arrived at Barbados ; a con
siderable part of the flreet had fepa
raced and were daily arriving.
Troops had beep di(patched to the
invaded Iflandi. but it was appre
hended too late to prevent their fall
ing into the hands of the French,
FROM GRENADA, April 14.
On Wednesday arrived here, Cape.
Norton, in 22 days from Grenada.
He inform! us, that he was lying
there from the commencement of th^
lafurreaioo and Massacre, on the
3d March till the 4th April. On
Monday 3d March^a black belong
ing co a gentleman of the place, was
told of the projea of the infurredion,
and invited to join in it; but in
stead thereof he informed his master,
who carried the information directly
to the Governor. The Governor dif
credifed the whole story, and not
withftandiog the pressing remonstran
ces of the gentleman who called up
on him, would make no preparations
for the occurrence of fueb an event.
About midnight following the fame
day, the plan of revolt being ripe for
execution, 6urft forth upon the in
habitants of Ghoff and Granville Bay.
Captain Norton was then lying at
the latter place, and fays he was a
roused from deep by a sudden firing
of (mail arms, pistols, &c. The fife
ing increased ; the halloing# of the
blacks and mulattoes, the fcreachingi
of maffacreing inhabitants, men,
women and children, who were now
calling loudly for help, and then,
groaning under their multiplied
wounds, continuing the melancholy
cadence to death, formed one of the
most horrid and affecting Icenes for
the mind's eye, that the annals of
barbarity record. A Capt. Smith,
whole ship was lying in the Bay,
lodging on shore that night, received
two balls when making his escape,
which he did, by /fprioging into the
furf, and swimming to Capt. Nor
ton's vessel ; the Qpt. of another
vessel io the Bay, was foot on shore.
About 50 of the inhabitants escaped,
and got on board Capt. Norton's
schooner, when he warped the vessel
out of the Bay, by good fortune, &
got her round to St. George's ; here
he was embargoed with many others
a number of days. The mulatto in
surgents made nightly attacks upon
that place and Ghoff ; a few troops
were feat from Barbados# to assist the
Englith, about 300 ; they with vol
unteers marched out, and gave the
mulattoes battle ; they were defeat
ed, and but few of them reached St.
George's again. The mulattos give
no quarter ; make no prisoners ; all
that fall into their hands are meffa
cred, without diftindion.<
The number of miffing negroes'
only, which are fuppoled to have
joined the revolt, exclusive of the
people of colour, has been estimated
at 1500, St. George's is very strong
and well fortified, and with any tol
erable reinforcement, is capable of
holding out against every attack of
the insurgents; bqfthe rest of the isl.
and must fall to them. /§^ *^
The American Captain, there, in
the general commotions, fuffer cop
fiderably. Some have fold their car
goes on short credit, and the pity
chafer, are msffacred ; others have;

fHISPANIOLA.
Apt. Blanchard, from Nichola
Mole, informs ul that the French
had prepared their army, and were
ju@ about marching to attack Port
au Prioce.
Norfolk, April 22. The ship Har
riot, Capt. Hetron, arrived here on
Saturday from Jamaica, The Capt.
fays, that on the i6rh instant he, was
boarded off Cape Henry, by a boat
from the Lynx^a Bririth (loop of war,
that the lieuteDant who came on board
after examining his papers, impressed
three of his men, two of whom were
Americans with preteaions, and put
them on board of the Lyox, that the
lieutenant infilled on his paying the
men's wages, and threatened on his
refufal to cut the fails of the ship from
the yards, and let her go adrift, that
it was with difficulty he could save his
feeond mate from being impressed.
After this unwarrantable treatment
they put on board the Harriot, Tho
mas Marden, who fays that he be
longed to the ship Harmony, Capt.
Robertson, of Baltimore, is a native
of Penofylvania, and was impressed
by the commander of the Lynx in
Newprovidence, aboht fix weeks ago
—that no regard was paid to Amer
icans, who are impressed indiscrimin
ately with British fubjedi, and that
there are on board the Lynx at pres
ent a number of American#.

Philadelphia, Ma, 1. A letter from
Great Bay, received by a gentleman
in Margat, mentioned the arrival of
a French fleet of 7 fail of the line,
and ten thousand troops, dired: from
France, at Guadaloupe. A report
prevailed at St. Martin's, that a Bri
tish reinforcement had arrived at Bar
badoes.
M,4. Letters are received from
Bermuda with the agreeable informa
tion char, not only the privateers of
that idand are prohibited from hence
forth capturing Americans so indis
criminately as heretofore ; but that
they have released all the Americans
in the island that were under trial.

MADRID, MARCH 13, '„.
Extraft from the dispatches from Gen. Cref
. po, commanding the troops on the fion
tieirs of Guipufeoa, province of Biscay.
, Marshal Miro informed me that
he had learnt that the enemy were ad
vancing with 900 men towards A'
pey tia and Azcoyria, with an idea, as
was supposed, so take the right CA
trance of the point of Azdarate, but
not advancing very fuddenly,we were
prepared to meet them ; and the se
vere firing we gave them, obliged
them to give up the enter prize, with
considerable loss.
" [lmmediately gave orders to my
troops to prepare for saion, which
they did with alacrity. I sent to the
Colonel of the Auftriin regiment, co
request 500 men to assist me, if the
enemy should again attempt to gain
possession of Azcarate.
" I ordered 400 men to Mount E
lozua, to prevent the attack of Azca
rate, by assaulting the enemy on their
flanks?^ Accordingly the French a
gain attempted opr posts,
repulfed^ arid we are still mafteri of
them, after a fifing of seven hours,
though our force war not more than
500 ft, At two at night, I was
r told qurfoanced guard had perceiv
ed & enemy advancing; again, about

A severe firing continued one h'odt
and a half. A prisoner we tock tct4
us the French sols wat cOnfiderable ;
and many wounded were tea carried
offthe fidd. Two officers were t
mbog elide.
f "1 was elfo told, 300 French 'pof-
I fated the heights or Ofvertsgnane,
™gnd were advancing rapidly towards
Pagcchoeu ; upon which 400 men
were ordered from here, with a„mili-^
^?& company, volunteers, &c. They
met the ecemy, and drove them as far
back as two c^ricOn ffims from Az- ,
coytia." fr
[We vouch not for the authenticity of the
above. All we can infer from it is, that as
the places mentioned were advance of Bilboa,
that place must have been in the hands of the
Spaniards at the above date.}
