The Spanish general was fired with
indignation at toe proposal, and was
about giving the fignai for massacre,
when they forren&red upon condition
of marching out with their arms, and
not fending in any expedition against
the Canary lAaa^ for twelve months.
The loss of the fc&iffi was about ito
kilted and wounded or more, and the
officers supposed berween ifoaddioo
drowned in a cotter that was fonk abb
from their boats in landing. The
Spaniards under nimswere 18 killed

ffENERIFFE.
The Canary Hisnils are thirteen in
number according to Bulbing, situated
between 27 and 30 N. lat. The eafter
moft Island, is about 150 miles from
the African coast. The all belong to
the Spaniards except Madeira, which
is inJhe hands of the Portuguese. They
zre supposed to contain about 160,0c0
inhabitants.,,
~ Teneriffe, one of the Canaries, is in
me form of an obtuse triangle, whose
Safe is eleven leagues in length, ar.d
itsheight ^leagues. Its land is heigh
and mountaneoos. Its towns are Laro
t,va on the weft fide, with a fife har
bour, forrhnoded by ftcep branches—a
place of considerable commerce. Santa
Cruz' onthe eastern fliore in a findy.
plain, has a tolerable harbour, comman
ded by two small fortt— along the Chore
are placed a few fnall baitcries ; but
the town is without walls, arid is de
fended only by two fma!l forts. It
consists of 2 or 300 host's, of three
stories, built of Iturr. It has a church,
fix Convents and ^charming hermitage.
Laguna, the Capital of the Illand, is
^r about two leagues from Santa Cr»z on
a froall-mine nee, which commands' a
delightful ptofpeß. Around it% a plain,
covered with fae-rafis and terminated
with rocks. Its houses are ofbrown
, stone, covered widVfile, and adorned
, with gardens, parr-trees, or terrafes,
and alleys lined with orange and lemon-,
trees.. # ,
>Three kinds df wine arc made in
Teneriffe —Canary wine, which is said
< to be from a vine which was blot from
the borders ofthe Rhine-^Malmfey a
ritoft delicious wine from a grape nanf- 1
ported fibril Canada, and the green
wine, which is moretfrong and harsh,
but mellows by transportation./ 1
The peak of Teneri ffe is one ofthe
higher mounfaimin Europe, fairi to be
a Ipgue from its b^fc, and is difeover
able at sea at the distance of , 50 miles.
With such an Ifbnd as this the Eng

HANOVER, OCTOBER 23.
The Columbian Mufeun, from urquef
tiohable authority, announces, that the Mar
quit de la Fayetteand family, have been lib
erated from their confinement, in the prison
oLOlmuts. And, that his son, now at
Mount Veroon; who has been under the
patronage of our beloved WASHING TON,
takes passage for that part of Europe, which
will foonefl; present him to the embraces, ts
a persecuted parent, and a mother and fillers
inimitably affe&ionate. Every American,
posse ffing sensibility, mull, we think, feel a
relief proportionate at the information—that,
the goodness and virtue truly dignifying,
should (offer persecution, and bondage by the
unprincipled,that still there is a restorative, a
hatid that can liberate.
The tranquility of Europe, finds tiptoe
anxiously waiting the event of the negocia
tiort at Life.-— Nothing has irmfpir^ by
which we may judge the form or Gate of the
procedure.
