they have attempted a debarkation on that island, in the view to
curry away all the ri•devant slaves in the province which remained
in that place; but their protect failed at Samana, where I had
sent in due time General Toussaint, with forces that will secure
that important place from a etnip de main. which they had effected
on Savannah la Ater, and forced to a retreat a detachment of 1.;

We subjoin a letter front a commercial house at
Cape T-layti, to shcw the spirit by which the Govern-
ment was characterised in enforcing the embargo:—
" Cape Hayti, March 21t.
" It is true that the Government has laid an embargo on all
ships without any distinction;' it if only since last night that it
was taken off English and American ships, on the condition that
they have no French property or individuals un board. The said
embargo is exclusively on French ships; and, according to the
explanation given by the President. it seems that these measures
taken against the interest of the French nation are only provi—
sionally, LI hinder the going out of their ships."
It is ascertained by a vessel arrived at Havre, that
the embargo with respect to French vessels also was
finally raised on the 7th of April, on an understand-
ing that all the slaves carried off by the ships of the
expedition should be restored. We are still without
authentic accounts of the manner in which the
French force at Samaria proceeded on their landing,
tespecting which the Atuezican prints have published
statements not very honourable to the conductors of
II the expedition, but which are, in all probability,
much exaggerated.

NEW YORE, APRIL e 7 —The House of
sentatives, on Wednesday last, were engaged
- - • •• . ..

New York Papers have arrived to the 17th ult.—
A c'lmmittee of the Senate of the united States had
made a report recommending that the President
should be requested to enter into such arrangements
as he may deem suitable and proper with one er
more of the maritime Powers of Europe, for the
effectual abolition of the African dein' Maio.
A report to the House of Representatives rowees„-
ing the navy, states, that there have been built arid
equipped one ship of the line; that there have been
built and launched three ships and one frigate;
ready to launch, one ship; nearly finished, ono ship
and two frigates; half finished, one ship; prepared
to be put bit the stocks, one ship and three frigates ;
and materials nearly collected for building one ship,
three frigates, and two steam batteries.
The question of the recognition of the indepen-
inconveniences, for which the American owners will
only hive to accuse their own imprudence, after tb.,
publicity which has been given to the measures
taken by the Imperial Government for maintaining
the rights of the Russian American Company in
their absolute integrity."
Pottv-Ao-Puttice, Arm 6.—We have sent this
via Aux. Cayes, in order to furnish you with our
price current of this day, and also to mention, that,
by an order of the President. all the French are
obliged to leave the territory of the republic in one
month, and that, after that time, no French vessels
will be permitted to enter the ports of the republic.
This will be very advantageous to America, for we
shall be obliged to be supplied by the United States
with wine and provisions, which have heretofore been
furnished by France.

They did nut take the final question ; but there is a
strong probability that .the bill will not pass that
branch.
Our commerce with the British Colonies in the
West Indies will certainly be thrown open with but
few restrictions. Various points of policy have led
to this determination of the British Government.
Their colonies were in a decaying state.
The French, Swedish, Danish, and other islands,
were carrying on a brisk commerce, whilst the Bri-
tish possessions were in a Janguishing condition, and
the expenccs of their gime:ll'mm bore heavy upon
the nation. This will be good news fur our agri-
culturists, and give a spur to commerce, whilst it
decreases the price of colonial pralace.
The point in dispute between the United States
and Great Britain, respecting the restoration of cap-
tured slaves, which had, according to the treaty,
been referred to the arbitration of the Emperor of
Russia, had been decided by him in favour of the
Maims of the United StatearThis, we now under-
stand is incorrect. The fact is, that the last infor-
mation from St. Petcrsburgh was, that the discus-
sion on the subject by the Ministers of the United
States and Great Britain, had terminated, and that
it t; as finally placed before the Minister for Foreign
Aflltirs the award of the Emperor.
The documents communicated to Congress rela-
tive to the North West' Coast, are published.
In making the communication, the Sceretary of
State obsaves, that the il'itish Minister had inti-
mated that the proposed plan of occupying Columbia
River might interfere with the rights (Ibis govern-
ment. Th. Sccretary declined to answer his inqui-
ries, or discuss the claims of England, otherwise
than in writing, but no written communications had
been received.

A letter from Jersey, dated May 11, says, " it
will be recollected that last year the English
and Jersey oyster fishiag limits were muck
obstructed and annoyed by the French armed ves-
sels, on various pretences of encroachment, but in
reality to destroy the Jersey oyster trade altogether,
and thus oblige the English oyster companies
obtain their supplies from France. The French
authorities have again Stationed vessels of war on
the banks discovered by the Jersey fishermen in 1797,
and adopted hostile measures, by firing in lime of
peace on English shipping, and chasing them within
the rocks that surround Jersey. These hostile pro.
ceedings hart attracted the attention of the Jersey
States, and a Priam has been voted to his Majesty,
in Council. %nese oyster banks arc situated be-
tween Jersey ,and the opposite coast of France,
stretching from Cape Bout to the rocks called the
Minqteds, a few miles to the north-west of the small
isle of Chaussey, between one and three leagues from
the French shore. The fishery is now in alien-
risking state. It occupies during four months of
the year upwards of 300 liihing smacks, manned by
nearly 2,000 British seamen.
Inform:. am hutbeen reee:ved from his Majesty's
Ambassador at the Court of Naples, of the follow-
ing distressing occurrence:—" On the 17th or 18th
of lust month, as Mr. Charles Burgh, third son of
Thomas Burgh, Esi., of the county of Kildare, and
Mr. IVatkin, u relation with whom he travelled,
were sailing in the Bay of Naples, a storm arose
suddenly, by which their boat was unfortunately
ups.:t, and Mr. Burgh, after the most astonishing
exertions on the part of his friend to save him, was
lost,liaving struggled tiil midnight in the tatves.
Mr. Burgh was educated in our University, where
lie was -distinguishen by the highest literary ho-
nours, and was studying, we believe, (or the•En4-
lish bar. Mr. Burgh was nearly lilted to Lard

200,000 barre,s of mercantile fish are required, for
the Brazils triune. The American United States

In answer to a note fsom the Secretary of Sum,
dated the 20th of March last, relative to the Russian
decree, a letter was received from the Russian Mi-
nister which contains the following passage:—" As
to alit right claimed for the citizens of the United
States of trading with the natives of the country of
the North West Coast of America, without the
limits of the jurisdiction belonging to Russia, the
Imperial Government will not certainly think of
limiting it, and still less of attacking it there. Hut
