Battle in Portugal.—^Considerable interest; I
has been excited upon Ibie subject, in consequence j
of the report of a gentleman who arrived here on
Monday last, from Haiti more. This gen tlenian re-1
ported, that be bad read a Philadelphia paper of Sa
turday last, in which it was stated, that a vessel bad
! armed at New-York from Corunna in Spain, after a
I passage of 32 days,(which makes her departuie the
■ 8th of October) bringing the important intelligence
[ that a grand battle bad been fought, in which the
| French were defeated, with the loss of 14,000 men.
The battle is said to have commencedon the 27th,
J and to have terminated On the 2<)th of September.
—The New-York papers of Friday have not yet
reached us; by the mail of ibis evening they may.
The positions of the two armies at the date of
our last advices, make it probable that a battle has
been fought.
j It is evident, that the report that reached England
j by the Hornet, which kiioticed under the head of
Foreign Intelligence, does not corroborate the Ce
runna account, tho’ it is not impossible that the for
mer account is nothing more than a ramification of
the report received in England.
I ^ The United States’ brig Hornet from France and
England is said to have arrived off Annapolis yes
in day morning. Balt. Americano/Saturday.
\ Navy Department, November gti, is 10.
| It is recommended to the Officers of the Navy and
j >1 the Marine Corps of the United States that, as
I a token of respect for the memory and merits of
the late Commodore Samuel Barron, they do
wear crape on the left arm and sword hilt for one
month from this dale.
(Signed) -
PAUL HAMILTON,
M' Secretary of the Navy.
In consequence of the death of Commodore Sa
muel Barron, Commodore Rodgers has directed that
the President, and all other national vessels on this
station wear then colours half mast three days, and
nil navy offir»rs under bis command to wear crape
on their arm fifteen days.

More of the vile aria employed by England for the
destruction of American manufactories!
- Merino Owners, keep a sharp look out! It is re
ported that a number of transports are about to
sail from England, for several ports in the United
States, with dogs tiained to the business of butcher
ing merino sheep. They are, it is said, to be put
under the direction # agents, who are to disperse
them through the country, for the express purpose
of destroying the merino sheep lately brought frem
Spain—TAis report may not be true ! hut'it is quite
as likely to be so as any of those published in the
democratic papers under the same bead—they are
at liberty to make the most of it. Q.
LUCIEN BUONAPARTE.
r When the information reached this country, that
Lucien Buonaparte had placed himself and bis trea
sure under the protection of the British government,
at Malta, we deemed it an improbable story—But
the following extract, which has been communicat
ed to us by a respectable gentleman, leaves no doubt
that he has embarked on board the ship Hercules,
ostensibly bound to Philadelphia, and under the pre
tence of coming hither-But we think, with our
correspondent, that, as three inonib3 have elapsed
since the Hercules is said to have sailed from Na
ples, and no Lucien Buonaparte has arrived here un
less incog, that he secretly engaged with the cap
tain to land him at Cadiz or Gibraltar, whence be
proceeded to Malta, preferring the safeguard of an
enemy, to the loVe and protection of his Imperial
Brother. i ,

1 hst wrote you per stiip Francis, capt. Haskill, a
vessel which left this in June last, and on board of
which were many of our unfortunate countrymen,
who bad lost all their property by the villainy and
perfidy of the Neapolitan government. I informed
you by her, of the situation of my business, and
«f the numerous and incredible hardships and dis
appointments 1 have met with, in the transac
tions of this last voyage. Since then they have
been increased by some new infernal decrees of the
Corsican tyrant; but I hope soon to have every diffi
culty set aside, and be able to hasten roy way home.
—Should I succeed in saving some of this proper
ty, it will be a miracle worth recording. My ves
sel has been given up, and has been so far repaired
as to be able to leave this infernal hole of tyranny,
and oppression. I only yarait an order from Paris
for the payment of one fourth of the proceeds of

WEST FLORIDA.
u ^ Qae.flf the editois of this paper left Baton Rouge,
the capital of West Florida, nn the lltb inst. Ob
the 10th, the convention adjoined, to irieet^gain
on the 1st .Monday in November next. They left
three of tbeir own body, viz. Job# H. Johnson,
John W. Leonard, and Edmond Hawes, Esqrs. as a
committee of public safety, and authorised them to
drafts constitution, &cr. The editor understood
that their constitution will be modelled after that of
tbe United States.
Before the convention adjourned, they resolved on
^sending a minister to the United States, as soon as
they adopt a constitution. On the 8th inst. tbe
convention authorised the enlistment of a standing
force of 104. men, to garrison the fort of Buton
Rouge, and before tbe editor left that place, the
number was so near completed, that the militia
were all discharged, and had returned home. The
commend of the regul.tr troops and fort, was em
trusted to col. John Ballenger.
1 he Ptichfa expedition against the tories, bad re
turned, and ail the disaffected, that had not previ
ous!}’ been made prisoners, except one, (William
Cooper, a member of the convention, and notorious
in North Carolina, during the American war, for his
cruelty towards the wbigs) had surrendered, and ta
•ken the oath of fidelity to the new government—It
was supposed that all thp prisoners confined for po
litical offences, would shortly he liberated, as the
convention is averse to the shedding of blood, ex
cept in cases of tbe utmost extremity. All was
quiet in tbe new republic,and tbe utmost confidence
prevailed of their being able to repel any force that
could be brought against them.
In the Convention of the State of Florida, at the
town of Baton Rouge assembled, Oct. 5th, 1810.
On motion, Resolved, that so much of the ordi
nances of this Convention, of the 22d of August
last, as relates to the tax on slaves imported into
the commonwealth be repealed, and the same is
hereby repealed accordingly. And all persons re
siding within the commonwealth, or allowed by the
said ordinance to obtain permission of residence
within the same, shall be allowed to import and
bring into this commonwealth, all slaves belonging
to them, or which they may have in charge, with
out paying any tax or duty therefor, whatever, any
thing contained in the said ordinance to the contra
ry notwithstanding.
On motion. Resolved, that so much of the Ordi
nance of this Convention, of the 22d of August
last, as relates to the tax on lands, be amended in
such manner that all lands within this common
wealth being reduced to three classes, those of the
first quality be subject to a tax of six rials per hun
dred arpents; those of the second quality 4 rials ;
and those of the third quality 2 rials per hundred
arpents. And it shall be the duty of the several
Alcaldes, each for the division in which he resides,
to estimate the quality of the lands subject to tax
ation within his division, both of residents and non
residents, and to express the quality of each tract,
on the return made by him of taxable property to !
the commandant of the district, who shall nmke his
return in the same manner, to the clerk of the su- j
perior court. And it shall be the duty of the Alcal- j
des aforesaid, each for the division in which he re- |
sides, to mak» a return of the lands of non-residents, j
at the same times, and in the same manner, class-1
jog them according to quality, as the lands of the
inhabitants of the countr y.

monwealth of Florida, in Convention assembled,
A PROCLAMATION.
The several districts of West Florida, having been
dee-lured a free and independent state, by a solemn
art of this convention, made and published this
day, we hasten to congratulate our fellow citizens
on this fortunate eveut, and to assure them that
nothing shall be wanting on tiur part, in order to se
rnre to our constituents and our country, the bles
sings of liberty and equal rights, and to establish
those rights on the mos^permanent foundation._
In the mean time, the laws heretofore observed in
the administration of justice, and the determining
the right of property, remain in full force, as far as
the situation of the country will permit. The Or
dinances and Resolutions adopted by the Convention,
with the concurrence of the governor, on tbe 22d
day of August last, are considered as law, agreea
bly to tbe proclamation of that date, excepting on
ly that the powers vested in tbe governor, by that
ordinance, will be exercised by this convention, for
the time being, and until some permanent regulati
ons be made for the better government of this
commonwealth.
Done in Convention, at the town of Baton Rouge,

\et the intelligence of a battle having been •
fought and a victory gained, by our troops, stifl*
prevails, .fit was certainly brought to Havre*?
from P»ris, by the American consul, who is os
his return to America, ami who says, that tk#
messenger had arrived with it at Paris only a feW £
hours before he leit it. The consul took bis pa^
sage in the Hornet, American sloop of war, wbiejr* -

despatches. A similar account bas been brought
by the Niobe frigate, wta|jsl|eanif in yesterday front~
off Havre, and whicEffPeived the report, from
some French fishing boats. The date when th*
battle is said to have Ireen fought is Hot mentioned.;:
We subjoin the port letters we have received thji®'

Undoubtedly the circumstance of the Tonnant;*
which left the Tngus so late as the 26th ult. having
brought no news of a battle, will weaken, if Wf
destiny, the credit attached to the report Loro Ha- \
vre, because tbe Tonnant might, we apprehend.^,
have brought uews from our army to the 234 nit.1"
and no later news could have be.en received at Pa-' ■
ns by tbe 28th, or even the 30th of lasFfnonth.
We pledge ourselves, however, that the report wa* •'
breught from Paris by the American consul, who it'*
now on board the Hornet, at Portsmouth. The'
Tonnant’s accounts say, the armies were so near ’
that a battle waa immediately expected. ; „ :
