It has been moved in the Briiilh
House of Commons, that the King of
that hation be requested to use en
deavours to effect the liberation of the
Marquis de la Fayette ; but the mo
tion, was negatived; by a majority of
107 I Prussia, in which this earl,
friend to America is confined, is in
treaty with the United States; Would
it be derogatory to the honour of
Congress to do what the British Par

would not.

?/.salim, APRIL 20. Last evening
arrived here, the schooner Polly, Cape
Ingerfol, (but navigated home by the
Mate) from Domioico. She is one
of sixteen which were captured by the
British at Martinico, and sent to Do
minico for' adjudication ; where they
had been acquitted, paying the usual
gofti— which in some infiances a
mounted to one half of the cargo.—

Capture of Auxcayes.
Extrad of a letter just received from Philadel
phia, dated 6th inst.
“ The report is—the sloop Betsey, Par
sons, is just arrived from Auxcayes, which
he left the 21st of April, and fays, that on
the loth, Capt. Matthews with three frig
ates and 800 men appeared before Auxcayes,
and was joined by an officer of Polverell's,
commanding a detachment of the regiment
of Dillon ; that Polverell was summoned to
surrender in 24 hours, who complied, on
condition that his person and property inould
be secured and he permitted to reside at Ja
maica, until the peace.
•' We learn that they are dilligently occu
pied in Dunkirk in equipping an armament
of final! vessels, such as gun boats, floating
batteries, &c. defined for this enterprife—
the works are carried on with great diligence
at Furnes and Nieuport, to put those places
•in such apohure of defence as to defeat the
projed of the French^ In prosecuting what
they have for a long time had in view, they
daily renew , heir incursions into the province
of Luxembourg, from whence they carry off
all the cattle and proviofins. which fall into
their hands. The 23d of last month they
surrounded and took poffeflion of an Aus
trian post of 20 men,in the village of Frifan
ges, which they afterwards pillaged. The
26th, they entered in great numbers the
valley of virion, from, whence they took a
great number of waggons loaded with grain
and other comodities.^
In the journals of the National Conven
tion, under the date of March 8, Laignetot
informed the Convention in a letter, that an
American ship of 200 tons, laden with pro
visions had been taken by a frigate. The
ship was from Bilhoa bound to Spain.
From St. EUSTATIA, April 27.
This morning dispatches were received by
government, of the entire reduction of the
French islands in these seas ; that the post of
Palmifte at Guadaloupe was carried by the
divisions of his Royal Highpefs Prince Ed
ward, and Col. Symes, under, the command
of General Sir Charles Grey ; and that of
Morne Howel by the corps of Major General
Dundas, was carried before day break, on
the 20th, and General Collet immediately
surrendered Fort St. Charles upon terms of
honour to himfelf and garrison.
At 12 o'clock this day a salute of 21 guns
was fired from Fort Orange in this Island on
account of the above jolly intelligence.
One thing is clear, that if the French have
no possession left in the Weftindies, there can
be no prefumptioh that American^ ^fels
found in those latitudes are bouQ'flofucb,
and therefore if any of odr vessels should be
detained, plundered or carried into fort, it
must be the effe& of hardened villany, pre
meditated piracy of infamous policy, and
Should be resented by immediate reprisals.
Extraa of a letter from the Captain of
aveffel belonging to this port, to bis
owner dated Port Dolphin, (Hi/pan
iota) March 17, 1794.
"I was taken and brought into
this port on the 3d of February last,

\ B, the brig Mar,, Capt. Hole,, in 48 days
from Brejl, we have received the following im
portant intelligence.
About the 20th of March, an engagement took
place between the French and Prussian armies—
which ended in a fetal vißory on the fide of the
Republicans ; in this a&ion, glorious for the cause
trade is drawing to a elate. After
the capture of the French inlands not
even the former Dimfey pretences'can
avail. The above schooner had coffee
and sugar on board.
Portsmouth, may 20. On Sun
day last arrived here the fchaoner. Bet
sey, Capt. Trefethen, of this port, in
28 days from Dominico, with only
himfelf and one hand; being one of
the vessels detained there by the Eng
lish for legal adjudication, as they call
it ; but after a long detention, and
obliged to pay charges, was released,
with fifteen other American vessels ;
Capt. T. fays it has been very sickly
there indeed among the Americans,
that above 170 have died of various
disorders ; that it was with difficulty
hands could be got to take proper
care of the vessels after they were re
leafed, great part Os the Americans
being either dead, or, impressed on
board English vessels.— -Capt. Clark
io the schooner Ranger, of this port,
after being detained three or four
months was released at the fame time
with Capt. Trefethen and io a day

found in when the vessel was given
up, having loft her anchors, during
the detention § the people were fcat
tefed, the Captain knew not where,
and only himfelf left to take any
kind of care of the Vessel, he happen
ed at the time the accident took plate
to be on shore, preparing to proceed
on his voyage ; part of the cargo is
likely to be saved (with the assistance
of negroes at two dollers per. day,
nd white people to be had) the ves
sel tee are informed will be entirely
loft.';
On Saturday last the dwelling
house of Gen. Goodwin, of Berwick,
was tonfumed by fire, with almost
every article of his houfhold furni
ture ; it is conjeadred this unfortu
nate accident was occasioned by a

the roof of the house, which before
timely assistance could be afforded,
baffled the art of man to save the
building. L ?-
