By a gentleman bf undoubted veracity,
who arrived in this town last Friday ev

left after the Mail, and came via Provi

telligence.
The gentleman, our informant, further
fays, that he is well acquainted with
the Captain of the veffcl, and had con
versed with the gentleman fully on the
lubje'a ; and has no doubt of its authen
ticity.
He also informs us, that Rotterdam, a
principal sea port in Holland, was be
sieged by the French troops; who had
burnt the gun boats, under the command
of the celebrated Sir Sydney Smith, which
were dispatched from England to the affif
iance of the Dutch : „ ,
The vessel from Hamburgh, was under
the Command of Capt. Champlin, and
belongs to the house of Mertorre and
Champlin, of New-York.
The gentleman had with him at New
port and Providence, the Evening papers
of New-York, containing this interesting
account, but in unpacking his chest he
laid them on the table in his lodgings and
unfortunately left them, very much to his
mortification.
That S!uys, which was said in the last
English papers to have been abandoned

Has not brought the news expeaedJrom
the reports from New-Y?rk. In the New-
York papers we fee no detail of the capture
of Slays, or of the deftruaion of Sir Syd
ney Smith's gunboats. Mr. Greenleaf's
paper of October 2ad, gives the follow
ing :—
" Capt. Camplin, in 41 days from
Hamburg, informs, that intelligence was
received there of the fu'render of Valen
ciennes, and the capture of Breda by the
French. . All communication between
Rotterdam and Hamburg was interrupted,
as a proof of which he mentioned that
two or three Hamburg mails had returned.

British voffels— or that they have detained

another at Giemberry, (to prevent the
jundion of the French armies of Biscay,

corps in the Province of Guipufeoa and St.

have been levied free the taking St. Se

of the lordship, or independent fovereign

But all the riches of the adjacent country
are removed to St. Andero; where is a

Extraordinary levies are making, and it is
said all penions and gratifications hitherto
allowed by government, are already fuf

“ Letters received from St. Andero,of

that it was expected thatthey would soon

they had not yet put in any state of de
