Captain Johnson, of the schooner Amity, who ar-
rived at this port yesterday from St. Thomas, in,
forms, that an the 10th of °Bober. the day of his
departure, alarm guns were fired from the Danish
batteries, and the Captains and Seamen of all the
Danish vessels ordered into the Posts, as an attack
from the British was momently expeded. The Bri-
tish squadron off St. Thome s, consisted only of one
frigate and an armed brig, but there hal been occa-
sionally five vessels cruising near the Island. Pre-
vious to Captain Johnson's sailing, a flag of truce
had been sent by the Governor of St. Thomas to the
Commander nt the British squadron, to inquire
whether war had been decla►ed between the two
nations, but returned without an answer.
The influenza, says The Chorieeton Courier, of
the '.!Si °Bober, has become so prevalent, that it is
supposed upwards of 5000 persons are now affleEted
with it in this city. It has not, as yet, sn far as we
can learn, been attended with any mortality.
