WEDNESDAY EVENING JAN. 14, 1807.
PARIS CORRESPONDENCE.
The article under this head, occupies a very considerable portion of our paper of this day, consisting of five letters from Admiral Willaumez, viz. one to the minister of marine in France, three to general Turreau, the French minister at Washington, and one to commodore Barney. It cannot be supposed that we should offer such documents to the publick, without observation. With respect to the authenticity of these letters, we have no doubt; and our readers may be assured that we have not consented to their publication, but under a firm conviction that they are genuine; the translations in some instances are too literal to be elegant, and the proper names in the originals are very difficult to make out, truth has been more aimed at than elegance. Those letters derive their interest from the circumstance of their being written without being intended for publick inspection, and of course the sentiments of the writer are freely expressed. It may probably be remarked that a part of these letters do not interest the publick, and might therefore have been omitted; but for reasons which we think are conclusive, such a course could not have been pursued without hazarding a charge of suppression. In the instance only has any part of the letters been omitted, and the cause of omission is fully, and we trust satisfactorily explained—the remarks which we have to offer, will come better after the reader has perused the correspondence; we shall therefore insert it here.

No. I.
Dated the Havana, 30th Sept. 1806.
To his Excellency the Minister of Marine at Paris.
MY LORD,
I informed you of my intended departure from Martinique on the 29th June, but I was obliged to devote two days for the further accommodation of the vessels not ready for sea: meanwhile I hurried on the repairs of the Valereuse frigate, and she along with the other six ships of the squadron was ready to put to sea the 1st July.
The enemy well informed of the arrival of our squadron off the windward islands, rapidly appeared off Dominique, where they were well situated by their neighbourhood to St. Christopher's.
I was well aware that English convoys of West India trade would not be ready to assemble before the 1st of August at Tortola, and after the departure of the French squadron. In the night of July the 3d I captured in my passage three merchant vessels—a fleet of merchantmen at anchor off St. Christopher's cut their cables and joined convoy under admiral Cochrane—they were in number 38 ships. I sailed along the coast of this island within half cannon shot, but found I could effect no important service, for I presumed the fleet from St. Christopher's had been thence escorted to form a junction with the merchantmen at Tortola: I formed the design of going in there, but my Martinique pilot was not capable of carrying in the squadron; I therefore resolved to go to St. Martin's, and I proceeded with my prizes towards that island.
On the 4th in the morning, being at the entrance of Tortola, I had already taken the Fly, a small vessel belonging to the English admiral, which I sent to reconnoitre, and by her was informed there were no vessels in the road. During the day the enemy having passed out, I resolved the next morning to pursue the convoy thro' the straits of St. Thomas de St. Croix. In the course of these last 24 hours the squadron repaired the damage it had suffered in the night. In the morning I saw right to windward 12 sail, about 4 leagues off, consisting of 4 sail of the line, 5 frigates, and corvettes and brigs, not doubting it was admiral Cochrane's squadron, which were coming to collect the convoy. I lay by for him till 8 o'clock in the morning, not being able to give chase to the English, who were then to windward, without losing time. But I formed my squadron in two columns, under topsails, only keeping the frigates ahead, and in this order I passed the straits. Admiral Cochrane followed me at a considerable distance, carefully preserving the weather gage. About three quarters past one, I was before the Danish island of St. Thomas. I now hoisted my colours and my flag, and the enemy by 2 o'clock not more than three leagues off; lay to, at the mouth of the passage. I likewise lay to, sent the Pratique to the enemy, but he stood to the southward, and I proceeded towards the convoy. Indeed, my lord, I expected to have been mentioned in the despatch of this affair, of which the English newspapers rendered a very incorrect account.
On the 5th I boarded a brig of the convoy, which had been separated from the rest at having the land. I made diligent search, but without success, during several hours, for the body of the fleet of merchantmen. Finally I found myself in the latitude of 25. 30, without seeing a sail. I therefore concluded this whole convoy had proceeded to unite it-
self with the grand Jamaica convoy, towards which I repaired, in the hope that by cruising in the distance I should eventually fall in with the Jamaica fleet on or about the 1st of August, as the said fleet generally sails for England at two periods. By thus standing to the westward, I suffered the consequence of this proceeding, for heavy gales of wind came on, and my ships were several times struck with lightning, and my sails being all split or blown away. I did not soon enough get into the longitude of 78 degrees. On July 19th I found we were in 76 longitude, and was informed about a week afterwards, that nearly at this time the first convoy had passed me to the eastward, at the distance of 40 leagues, and that the second convoy could not have been far from sailing likewise; but just at this time I heard that admiral Sir John B. Warren had arrived in the West-Indies, and only eight days after my first sailing. I conjectured that admiral Warren would proceed to Newfoundland, where I meant to let him go quietly. July 28th, at sun set, we saw a large ship to windward, and two brigs; I supposed however these might be Sir John, and I made the signal to close the squadron and keep to windward, intending next day to engage this admiral to advantage. A schooner, however, which belonged to these vessels to windward, and which I boarded at midnight, afterwards informed me that it was part of a convoy of Americans, consisting of 8 sail, under the escort of two small frigates, bound to New-York, laden with coffee, &c. &c. by the revolted negroes of St. Domingo. This news not being disclosed to me by the master of the schooner, till some days after the convoy had time to escape to the northward—indignant at the conduct of the Americans, I immediately put the master of the schooner in irons, and all his people, and made sail in search of said convoy, determined to hang at the yard arm the captain and officers in the face of their countrymen, at New-York—but being nearly off Cape Hatteras, I was surprised, and the gathering storm left me no time to reach New-York in time to intercept the convoy. On arriving off the Cape, I found the Americans had hauled to windward, and I followed them, but they were so far ahead, that I was obliged to desist, and returned into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. On the 19th and 20th of August, I was surprised by an horrible tempest, in which several of my ships were missing, I hope met with no loss of men in my squadron. Many vessels of the enemy perished, others were greatly damaged and their convoy dispersed. I got down my top-gallant masts, and all my ships in sight by 5 o'clock, were trying under their foresails & mizen only, but in less than one hour afterwards every sail was blown away, and by 7 o'clock the violence of the gale increasing we scudded before the sea. Such of my ships whose rudders were damaged broached too, and were the first dismasted; such were the fate of the Foudroyant and Impetueux, which by 9 o'clock were dismasted, viz. without a single stump left—continuing thus for 30 hours a hurricane (which I have never known any thing more dreadful) the wind lasted, but the sea which was tremendous frequently fell on board our vessels.—Under these circumstances, it was impossible for me to save any part of the wreck, so as to enable me to rig jury masts; consequently it was not before the 28th that I was at all able to direct the course of the Foudroyant towards the S. S. W. About two leagues from the entrance of the Hayanna when arrived thus far, an English small division of men of war accompanied by a large frigate shewed a disposition to attack my ship, but in the course of half an hour, after firing at them 50 shot, they retreated to repair their damage. Could I have lacked, or been in a situation to make sail, the English captain would, by a prompt surrender, have paid the forfeit of his imprudent hardihood; this was on the 15th Sept. and on the same day I got into the Hayanna. The unprovided condition of my ship and particularly the wretched quality of my sails determined me to hasten my return to France and not wait till Oct. but the numerous squadrons of the enemy cruising in the Gulph, and before our principal ports, induced me to continue out during all the long days of summer. A ten months cruise would have proved sufficient to ruin sails and rigging, had they been even new when I first sailed—but I needed not have tried to convince me of the miserable equipment of the squadron I was to command, for scarcely had his Imperial majesty's squadron set to sea, before they proved truly and right for our most painful
time to represent to you, at this late day, these miserable equipments, so doubt very contrary to your intentions and the wish of his Imperial majesty, dictated upon my vessels, relative to which I should have made strong representations could I have known it before my departure from France; but it was not permitted me to demand any thing, neither to enquire into what was requisite for the second squadron, before the first completely unarmed was ordered to sea, nor was it till after sailing, I discovered the very bad condition of my ships. Notwithstanding which distressing circumstances I reckoned upon returning fortunate to France, and of convincing you, my Lord, by the reports you would have received, on my arriving in port of the lamentable state of my ships.—Since my arrival at the Havanna I have, by the most secret and careful means, forwarded orders to such of his Imperial majesty's ships, as were said to be arrived in different ports in America and Porto Rico, requiring from their commanders an immediate report of the state and condition of their ships, with orders to them to join me at the earliest moment in their power.—The Foudroyant must be hove down, which will detain me at this place three months.—I have read in the Baltimore Gazette of the 3d of this month, of the arrival of the Patriot at Annapolis, of the Valereuse at New-Castle, and of the Cybelle, belonging to M. Le Hermit's division, at Norfolk. All these three ships were considerably damaged. Whenever all the ships of my scattered squadron of men of war shall have rejoined me here, I shall, I hope, be able to perform such services as his majesty has entrusted me with—Meanwhile some few Spanish men of war, if ordered to proceed to sea with me, might effect some good. I find the Spaniards well disposed to forward every thing for the good of his majesty's service, particularly lieutenant-general Villavaxario, who superintends the department of the navy. It has been proposed to me to go to Vera Cruz for treasure; the value of commerce there, being estimated at 60 millions, and the riches of the place it is well known are without bounds. I have obtained assurances, that without delay, all the needful repairs on board my ship shall be expeditiously put in hand, and I must say, all the people in power, have united in demonstrations of zeal for his imperial majesty's service, and kindness for every man bearing the name of a Frenchman.—Be pleased my Lord to represent to the king, my sincere affection for the distinguished services to which I have been reduced by the misfortune of his majesty of my utmost conviction, and that I am determined to surmount all difficulties which can possibly occur, and pray assure him of my unswerving attachment towards his august person.
Accept, my Lord, likewise, the assurance of my most respectful attachment. (Signed) L. C. Ad. P. WILLAUMEZ.
No. II. To GEN. TURREAU, French Ambassador at Washington.
You have learnt by the arrival of some of my scattered ships in America, the unfortunate event by which they were separated from me. (Here admiral Willaumez gives the detail of the tempest in nearly the same words as in his letter to the minister of marine at Paris, to which he adds) that at this date the Foudroyant was then nearly new masted, and proceeds to enforce to general Turreau, how necessary it was that the ships which had put into the American ports by distress, should hasten to join him at the Havanna, where his squadron, if collected and united to the Spanish force at that place, would in effect oppose a strong squadron, and double to that of the English, who at Jamaica, he states, have only two line of battle ships.—Admiral Willaumez further says, that he purposed going to Vera Cruz, agreeable to the project of the government of the Spanish colony of Havanna, to bring some millions of dollars, which he states will be the more apropos as the French Emperor, had a right to the payment of one million of dollars, of which the scarcity was very great at the Island of Cuba. Admiral Willaumez then continues: I have just apprehended four seamen, deserters from the Valereuse frigate, which I found on board an American brig where they had been engaged at 17 dollars per month—Now, Sir, if you can succeed in making the American government pay down a compensation for this misconduct, in seducing thus our seamen, you will punish it by making it smart in that point in which it feels most, viz. its avarice in money, and with so much the more justice, since those people (meaning the American merchants) have for three years past been continually injuring our marine by seducing our best seamen from us.
(Signed) L. C. Ad. P. WILLAUMEZ. On board the Foudroyant, Havana, 25th October 1806.
No. III. To General TURREAU.
MY LORD, You have no doubt heard of the arrival of some of my ships on the Continent, and also of the miserable situation we were in when separated. The Foudroyant was in a most disabled state, having suffered so much in the gale, she became ungovernable, and for some days was at the mercy of the wind and waves; after suffering more than I can describe, by the assistance of God, I arrived at this port. After obtaining that retrenchment I stand so much a head of, I am determined to cruise off the Havanna.
nah, in the hopes I may still fall in with and be joined by some of my scattered squadron. I presume on remaining in this port for some time, and till I have the satisfaction of hearing from the Minister for conducting the marine department, having wrote him every post for eight days past—I have had the honour of having letters from his excellency, copies of which letters as well as others I have forwarded you in another dispatch, which you will perceive will be the triplicates of my dispatches to you in the United States—you will see their importance. If two more of my ships join me here, with a Spanish ship called the St. Laurent, I trust that I shall have a force shortly that will double that of the English, as I am informed they have but two line of battle ships in and about Jamaica. With this division I am impressed with an idea that I shall rejoice my government with the news of the fall of that colony, and it will afford more gratification than hundred of millions from Vera Cruz. Apropos, our emperor is to receive one million of dollars from his Catholic majesty on the score of an adjustment with the Spanish government at the Isle of Cuba. The Spaniards are sending a force to Vera Cruz, but that's of no consequence. There is a secret expedition going somewhere from this island, this I have correct. I beg you sir to be particular in your observations in the Chesapeake & other parts on the Continent of the United States—Let the commanders of all French ships attached to you know these operations, and their readiness will be found necessary.
(Signed) P. WILLAUMEZ. Havanna, 29th October, 1806.
No. IV. Havanna, 6th Nov. 1806. To GEN. TURREAU.
MY LORD, The contre admiral Willaumez, commanding here the ship belonging to his Imperial majesty, has given orders to Monsieur Le Chuderand, lieut. of the ship, charged with these and other dispatches to say that he is astonished at the conduct of the commanders of ships belonging to his Imperial majesty in the American ports. He is alarmed at the behaviour of the French ambassador, so fully instructed by his majesty. He is determined as general in chief to inform the French government of the conduct of the United States—but he trusts that the French ships are now supplied with all necessaries.
(Signed) P. WILLAUMEZ. No. V. Havanna, 10th Nov. 1806.
If I have delayed, my dear Barney, to give you an account of the conflicting situation I have been in since the dispersion of my fleet; think not that your friendship shall escape my memory. At Cuba it is said there is a peace between France and England, [here the characters are not legible] & further, it is said that Spain and us do not much agree to that which the English and Americans propose. Have you any account of the fleets of Warren, Suachan and Cochrane?—the report goes that many of them were dismasted. Jerome has been fortunate in arriving in France, without accident. I calculated on being there with my squadron at the end of October, but the elements against whom man can do nothing, decided otherwise, and I am forced to stay here three or four months, enraged at having missed the convoys of Jamaica and the Windward Islands. I hope the Casard will arrive safe; she is commanded by an officer who is active, prudent and wise. If L'Impetueux could have remained with Le Foudroyant, or followed the route which I made by signal for the Havanna, France would not have had to regret her loss. The Foudroyant has had her masts standing several days; by the end of the week they will come at her keel to put on the sheathing on her stern post, which was carried away with the rudder.
(Signed) P. WILLAUMEZ. To Commodore Barney, at Baltimore.
Remarks.—The general tenor of these despatches is sufficient to prove the hostility of the writer towards the people of this country, and his insolent sentiments towards our government.
The first thing, however, that attracts our notice, is the conduct of admiral Willaumez towards the captain and crew of an American vessel, because they did not give information against their countrymen. This gallant commander, whose fears converted the American merchantmen into admiral Warren's fleet, put the Americans in irons. Yes, and as soon as he found that the ships that had so dreadfully alarmed him were not admiral Warren's fleet, but poor defenceless Americans; he is indignant, pursues them most manfully, determined (if he could catch them) "to hang them at the yard arm in the face of their countrymen at New-York"—Reader! remember that this letter (as well as the others, but this more particularly) was addressed to one of the first officers of Napoleon's government, to whom the writer appears anxious to recommend himself. Savage cruelty, united with the most brutal insolence, are the characteristic traits exhibited by the writer. Some of our fellow-citizens are bound in manacles, because they would not become informers against their countrymen; and others are threatened with an execution calculated to excite the keenest anguish in the breasts of their relatives, and to offer to our country the highest national indignity.—The American ships were pursued to their ports,

THE PHENIX COMPANY of LONDON, For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Ships in Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandise, FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
INSURANCE from loss or damage by Fire, has been found a measure of great importance to the happiness of families, and has given additional security to commercial transactions. The distinguished approbation with which the public throughout Great Britain received the improved system of this Office, occasioned frequent application for the Insurance of Property in the principal cities and towns of Europe and America, and induced the Company, many years since, to extend their plan to the Western Continent. The Phenix Company can refer to the unerring test of experience to ascertain their character; and, gratified by the unbounded confidence they have obtained upon the continent of America, and for the purpose of facilitating to the inhabitants the means of effecting insurance on their property, the Directors have lately determined to extend the sum which they have been accustomed to insure in any single risk, and have arranged Rates of Premium upon the various descriptions of property, which they trust, will be found moderate, just and equitable. The promptitude with which this office has adjusted the claims of sufferers, and the solidity of the funds, are so well known, that it is unnecessary to offer more on the subject, than to refer those who desire information, to the members of London, with whom they correspond.
Rates of Annual Premiums to be paid for Assurance against Fire. No. I. Hazards of the First Class, viz. Brick or Stone Buildings, covered with tile, slate, or metal. Furniture or Merchandise, not hazardous contained in such buildings. For sums not exceeding 10,000 Dollars in one Risk, 37 1-2 Cents per annum, per 100 Dollars. No. II.

All buildings in contiguous to other hazardous buildings, or in other respects situated disadvantageously, will be charged at an extra premium.

WHO HAS FOR SALE. That pleasant place BELL VIEW. It contains TWO HUNDRED ACRES, lying on the lower end of Barrett's Neck, Nansamond county, between Nansemond River and Chuckatuck Creek, fronting Newport-News, Hampton Roads, and is about 14 miles from Norfolk by water. There is on the land two good Dwelling Houses, one of them a two story frame house, 30 feet square, with a Kitchen, Wash House, Smoke House and Dairy; a large new Barn and Stable, and a Carriage House, a Spring House, and a never failing Spring. The other a new Dwelling House, a Kitchen, Quarter, &c. with a large Garden newly built of the best materials, and a good Stable.
