The French schooner of wa► Ls Fraxchaise,
Unit. Chevalier, having on board a ca►go of indigo
and specie, which had been stolen from two Spanish
schooners, has been captured by the United States
gno-vessel, No. tiS. Lieut. Dexter, and carried into
New Orleans, for a breach of the third section of the
non-intercourse law.—A fresh proof of partiality to
France !

ritILADIMPHIA, DEC. 9.

The party which is called Ministerialists at-the
city of Washington, appear to be at a loss what
plan to propose. or what cnurse to steer, with re-
spect to our foreign relations. The opposite ',tidy,
who undoubtedly possess most talents, but are ex-
cluded from Cabiaet confidence, observe a pro-
foOnd silence on the subject ; and prudently too,
because they know that any 44 alternative" which
they might suggest, however wise and just. would
meet the united hostility of the Ministerialists.
Hence, it is most probable, public affairs will con-
tinue in their present posture for some length of
time. Any favourable alteration in our relations
with foreign powers is very remote.
It was reported at Washington, that Mr. Giles
would soon lay before .the Senate, the leading pro-
positions which are to occupy the attention of the
present session. These, it was rumoured, would
be of as hostile chewier. both to France and
Great Britain.

Snme doubts have been expressed whether Mr.
Ritirdo:ph will attend the present session. Our in-
formation from Washington goes no further than
to My. that he continued somewhat indisposed, at
his seat in Virginia. It is probable that his indis-
position is the only cause of his present absence.

DEC. 11.

Captain Chatty reports, that the City of St. bo-
mingn is now under the command of the Spaniards,
the fi•itish haring entirely left it ; that American
priabiee having poured in from the other Weeds,
was low ; flour at eight dollars; and other articles in
pmportinn.—That the Spaniards, as well as the rest
of the Island, seemed in an undisturbed state.

Yesterday arrived ship Hosusak, Clements, fifty
days from Loadnn•terry, with fifty or sixty passen-
gers. nn her possiege she fell in with the Briti►h

n few of the young men to come on board his ship,
to learn the use of artillery and small arms.

NOSTON, DE,C. 1.

We were last evening hymned with extracts from
Halifax Pacers to the 13th ult. They contain the
•;we h of Governor Provost, at the commence-
ment of a session of the I.egislature. It represents
the colony ss in a flourirhing state, and its militia
as on a respectable footing.
