IT. pierre's (Mar.) dec. 17.
The patriots to the number of an
hundred and some odd, tffeded a de
feent on the East pare of this Hand,
in the vicinity of Mount Vouclin, a
bout 20 miles east of Fort Royal.—
The post in the borough did not ob
serve the enemy's approach, and fell
back as soon as the Republicans came
in fight of the place. This event
caused much alarm in all parts of the
island. The inhabitants of the invad
ed parish assembled immediately, and
being soon after joined by 30 soldiers
sent from Marin, they marched against
the enemy, who were already matters
of the borough and protected by en
trenchments and artillery which they
had brought with them. Our people
being ignorant of this, were repaid
with considerable lob ; 15 of them
were killed or badly wounded io the
attack's ambrg the latter is lord Dal
cufie, the commander of the expedi
tion.
In conftqjence of this check the
affaiigoti thought it prudent to fall
back on the habitation of the Cheva
lier de Perpigna and waited there for
a reinforcement Os troops, which ar
rived on the Bfh.
In the night between the 7th and
Bih, the patriots burnt two buildings
and anne-odice belonging 10 M Def
abaye. This was thought to be a fig
dal agreed upon by the disembarked
patriots and those inhabiting the ifl
.and.
As soon as odr forces were foffici
eotly strong, they began to surround
the borough and prepared themlelves
to bombard the place with the artille
ry which was sent from La Trinite.
The patriots finding it impoffibte to
escape if they ihouid continue any
longer in the borough, refolded to ,
vacuate it, which wM tffeaed in rhe
night from the B,h to the 9th, under
favour of very difm# I weather. They
went to the habitation of Moquet-Fot
ci, at the foot of Mount Vauclio.
On the 6th, in the morning, an old
negro woman informed the befiegtog
army that the patriots had left the
borough.^ The militia, and M. Gu
goeSoteA troops, was then tent to
nitrite enemv. Whom they met,
attacked and defeated, giving no quar
let, even to those who threw down
their arms Some efcsßedm but they
were soon overtaken and treated like

RIOT at LUDLOW;-NCV fr
Tefterday the inhabitants of this town
were exceedingly alarm'd, the M/g
--iftrates having deceived intelligence
that the colliers bad dekended in large
bodies from the Cley Hill, and were {,
advanced in different directions to en
ter the town for the purpose of de,
ftrofing the mil!, and imposing their
own laws upon the market. The civ
il power, boding it absolutely nrceffi
ry co call io the kid of the military,
applied to the &ffifys commanding
the Oxford light dragoons quartered
here, who immediately turned out.
After poking parties in different
places for the pioteSion nf the town,
a detachment proceeded on the road
to B igeno.'th, which way the neatest
body of these deluded people were
laid to be advancing, and about a
mile and a halt from Ludlow, they
met with between three and four hun-'
deed colliers armed with bludgeon#
and other weapons. The Magilhatei
had already arrived, and were using
every argument to prevail on them
to return ptaceaby to their homes,
but in vain ; the riot aft was read to
as little purpose, and fa confident
were thty, especially as their number
iocreafed every moment, that they
hooted and derided both the Mlgif
traces and the military.
After an hour spent in this man
ner, Mr. Knight, of Henley, ordered
the dragoons to charge, on which they
completely diferfed them : a great
many were wounded, and 13 of the
leaders taken prisoners, who are now
in Ludlow giol. Though the col
liers fought desperately, lorctynaify
no lives were loft.
The M&giftrates are now fitting,
and I am informed that the prisoners
are to be sent to Shrewfbury gaol to
morrow. A ftrobg rumour prevail#
at this moment, that the collies are
returning in foil force, determined to
refeue the prifontrs at any rifque.l
cannot, however, think they will ven
ture to make so defoarare an attempt,
nor diftdrb the public peace any more,
at least for some time; We have had
a pquet of forty men mounted all
night.•
