annals of any nation.
File meti:s of this claim has been de- J
cided by two Courts in this State, «-
gainlt lXtane, from which 110 appeal
could be granted by an express law of
this State, patfed July 3, 1776 ; before
even independence was declared by the -
American Congrcft, at wiiich time New

only by a a delegation to Congress as
other fovereigTi Colonies, for 'heir uii- *

and required confirmation from every

years after.this extraordinary cause had I
been determined by two Juries,a greea

years was a member of Congress, and

YtCerday arrived here the sloop Defi

the French armament, which went against
Sf. Marks, the beginning of April, had
been defeated with very conllderaMe loft ;
the part of the army that had escaped, had
returued to Gonaives on the 13 h April.
1 rom Capt. Mandeville, also arrived
yefierday, we learn, that a Captain Tal
bot, in 1 (hip of 22 guns, had taken fix
Ihipsof the outward bound English fleet,
two of which he scuttled ; the others had
arrived in St., Martin's. Capt. Mande
ville left GrenaJa on the 13th of April ;
he had been embargoed there*for upwards
of twenty days. Thirteen hundred or'
the troops lately arrived from England,
werefent from Martinico to Grenada':—
there were not eight hundred of them a
live when Capt. Mandeville left it 4 the
remainder had died of licknefs, or
been killed in different adfions v.ith
the French ; the Englilh had been very
unfuccefsful in their attacks ; they were
twice defeated at a place called Pilot Hill.
The French force was said to coufift of
9000 men; they were in pofleflion of near
ly ( the whole illnnrt: of St.
ge's and other small towns, wrre rhe only
pofleflions the Britilh retained. It was
given out that general Lmdfay had killed
himfelf; but itvas generally believed lie
was killed in one of the ad)ions ; tw.T.fy
