NEW YOEC, Urn 1.
Captain Story,aho arrived on Thursday from Go-
naives, informs us that De%salines had declared war
against the Spaniards, about the middle of July,
and that his privateers had commenced capturing
all Spanish s•es,els.

SEPT. 4.

Captain Depraid, of the French national cor-
vette arrive,' at Savannah in eighteen
days from Porto Rico, mentions, that on the fid of
June, the Brigands made an attack on St. Jag°.
The Spaniards, who were 7000 men, sent to St.
Domingo for a French Officer to command them.
General Demi: was sent by General Ferrand for
that purpose. The 13, igands wLre defeated, and
driven back with considerable loss.

Capt. Story, from Gonaives, informs, that an ar-
my of 0000 men, under the command of the Black
(';en. Dessalines, were mustering to proceed against
the city of St. Domingo.
Gen. Ferrand, with the French troops, besides
the city of St. Domingo, occupies St. Jago and A zna.
Colonel Perchz commands the Spanish National
Guards, who fight like veteran soldiers. In the
defeat of Dessalines at St. Jago, by General Ferrand,
the former had one thousand men killed, and a great
many more wounded. The enraged Black Chief,
to avenge his loss, cruelly ordered several Whites
and Mulattoes to he massacred, and the cities of
Monte Christi and Fort Dauphin reduced to ashes.
St
.Domingo is in a enmpl-te state of defence, and
if the French Agents in the United States evert them•
selves in its favour, it must hold ont until peace is
established, however remote that period may be.
We hear that a Capta;n Castel, an 4i•6.1e-ramp
of General Ferrand, Commander-in-Chief of St.
Domingo, has arrived at Baltimore, in order to de-
mand the troops lately ordered to Fiance by M.
Pichon, the French Charge Alihirel, and to pro-
cure suppl:es for the use of the French army in St.
Domingo, which for a year past have suffered every
bards! ip.

Island.

An American squadron continues to blockade
some of the Barbary ports. A letter from an Ofßcer
of the United States schooner Nattlilas. dated Sy-
racuse, April 17. says—" Every exertion is now
making for the liberation of the prisoners taken in
the Philadelphia frigate. It is said our Commodore
means to bombard Tripoli. W had a brush not
long since with the Neapolitan gun-boats, who very
prudently kept under the guns of the batteries. I have
much pleasorr in informing you of several captures
made by the diErent vessels of the squadron. One
was a vesselh.i ving a Tripolitan Amhassadoron board,
with presents for the Grand Signior. An English brig
was also captured by the Noati/w, and a ship by the
Slow for violating the blockade. These captures
have excited much surprise in this quarter, and it is
said that we have not a sufficient force to constitute
the blockade. The prize made by the Si.ren has a
considerable quantity of specie on board, and she is
to be sent to the United States fur adjudication."

The Commanders of the British ships at the Hook
become more and more overbearing in 'heir conduFt.
The !term, outward hound, was boarded by one of
the frigates, and two of her best seamen impressed,
both protraed Amer:cans.
