A letter from Port Brieux, of the
sth Meffidor, fays, “ We begin to
breathe again here from the outrages
of the Chouans—De fetters are con
tinually coming in with their armr,
and we have reason to believe, that
before the expiration of 15 dayr, the
department of the Cote-du Nord will
b^ entirely freed from the Chilians,
aid restored to tranquility,"
By letters from Havre, we learn, that En
glifh frigates and cutters block upfheir har
bor, and prevent every vessel from entering
it. Our fifhermen have been kindly treated
by the English ships, who gave them plenty
ofbifcuit for their fi^, and prgmifed them
abundance,fif they would support the royal
party, which had proclaimed Louis XVIII.
king.
Monsieur, now called Louis XVIII. is
' gone from Verona to Turin, while the Reb

We have just received a letter from Ren
nes of the 23d Meffidor, (July 11). It con
tains the following details: The road from
Alencon to Rennes is still infefted with Bri
gands. Four escorts accompanied us suc
cessively. The two fitft consisted of 500,
and the third of 1200 men. They attacked
the diligence and pillaged it ; but thanks to
the valor of the troops who proteded the de
puties, they arrived in fafety with the 25
• millions for the payment of the troops. The
Chouans surround the city in such a man
ner that no person ean leave it without an
escort..
From Havre we learn, that letters receiv
ed there, mention the capture of tile fmafl
isle St. Marcou by the English, who have
Bruck the tricoloured and hoisted the white
Big. Their object is, without doubt, to cut
off the communication between Havre,and
Cherbourg—The navigation of Ifigny $ al
together intercepted.
Letters from la Houge, state that that bay
is blocked up by three frigates, two tirge
barks, three brigs, and a cutter, so that a
convoy sent from Havre a fortnight ago can
not get into Cherbourg.
One of the frigates and a boat approach
ed the harbor, and fired upon the corvette
la Vigilante for halfan hour. The corvet
te, fopported bv the fort, has received no
damage. The English, it is fuppbfed, have
received considerable damage.
A letter from Pra en-Pail:e, of the 25th

By a letter from Dunkirk of the 19th, we
learn that the brig LaFiaternite of 18 guns,
commanded by citizen Alemas, has just ar
rived io the outer harbor. This gallant of
ficer captured, bn the Digger batft, off the
Texd, three veCcls, one ci which mounted
fcveral guns, the other two were laden with
hemp and iron. He afterwards fell in with'
an English frigate of 36 guns, which he en
gaged during 6 hours. He contrived by
manevring, to preserve his three prizes,
which were carried into Holland. The on
ly drawback oil the gratification whicheiti^

1 • IMPORTANT NEWS!
PEACE between France and Spain.
WRCGQi'
On Wednesday evening arrived
Capt. Girdler, after 45 days pas
sage from St. Sebaftians.* From
*a personal conversation with the
Captain, we are enabled to ftatc
the Important Intelligence, that
follows:
Before Captain G. failed, the
Spanish Minister, who had ne
gotiated a Treaty of Peace with
France, came into St. Sebaftjans,
attended by other officers both
French and Spanish ; and soon
afterwards proclaimed in the
market place, the Ratification of
a Treaty of PEACE between
France & Spain. Avast crowd
of people were collected ; ani
as soon as the proclamation was
ended, shouts of " Five la Na
tion !" were vociferated with
enthusiastic vehemence. Copies
of the Treaty were circulating
through the city ; but Captain
Girdler accidentally omitted to
procure* one to bring with him.
The Frenchmen and Spaniards
shew the most lively joy ; and
would often seize the Americans
by the hand, with rapture, and
exclaim, " Huzza! PEACE !
PEACE!"
Among the articles of the treaty, Capt. G.
particularly recollects, that it whs Itipulated,
that the French were to give up all the con
quests they had made in the Spanish Euro-1
pean territories ; (Bilboa and St. Sebaftians
were of course included). The Spaniards
were to surrender to the French the part of
Hispaniola they might possess at the time of<
Peace. Were to pay the French SEVEN
TY MILLIONS of LIVRES ; and were
to furhifh Fourteen Ships of the Line, with
three months provisions, to be employed at
the direction of the French.
The cidevant inhabitants of St. Sebaftians
came in daily and took possession of their
former places of residence ; and the old Spa
nilh municipal government again ruled the
city.
Three French Letters of Marque, which
failed from Norfolk for St. Sebaftians, were
met a short distance from the letter town, by
a Spanish squadron, confining of two (hips of
the Mae, four frigates and two brigs. The
Frenchmen gallantly fought their way thro'
them ; and took shelter under a small fort at
Gatarrier. The Spaniards followed, and
were cannonading them, when a dispatch
boat was ftnt to the Spanish Admiral, to ac
quaint him with the Declaration of Peace ;
which news he received with much fatisfac
tion.•
, $/. Stbaflten %ua; taken from the Spaniards
by the French, daring the •war.
CORROBORATIVES.
Capt. Goodwing, ip 57 days from Cadiz,
was told by a merchant there, just before be
failed, That peace was agreed upon between
France and Spain, and that he might report
it in America as authentic. He was unac
quainted with the terms. Two frigates,
Capt. G. was also told, were ordered to be
immediately got in readiness to carry the
news to the Weflindies, and other colonies.
Capt. Swett, in 38 days from Lisbon,
confirms this news. He heard it lets cir
curfontially/but we believe equally au
thentic.
Capt. Dunbar, from Bourdeaux, like
wise confirms the news of the peace.
<,From the variety of the corroborating in-'
formation, we do not hesitate to declare,
that FRANCEand SPAIN,fe at PEACE. 4
