KINGSTON, JUNE 14. Arrived the • Gijpsey
Schooner, oflo guns, Lieut. HALL, from a cruize,
and brought in with her the Spanish Brig Felix, of
14 six-pounders, and 32 men, which she captured
on. the sth inst. off Roco, after an engagement of
one hour; she was from Laguita, bound to Cadiz,
with a cargo of cote, cocoa, &c. and had only been
Out one day. The Giptain and one man belonging
to the Brig were killed, and
.one wounded. We
are happy to, add, that not one man was killed on
bOard the Gypsey.
Li:outrl7l-nt HALL 'Ms -been raised to the rank
of Cominander, and appointed to La Diligence Brig,
of 16 guns, lately captured by Le Renard; Sloop
of War.

A Spanish `Schooner laden with mahogany, a
prize to the' Serpoit. Sloop of \,:tr, arrived ott
Tuesday.
JULY 4.—The Flag of Vice-Admiral DACRES has
been shifted from on board the Shark Slob') of War
to La Mignonne Brig : an unfortunate accident
having nearly occurred to the: former Vessel, some
time last week, from her seams being ,;n want of
caulking, she filled with water so fast, thathad not
timely assistance been rendered' by the different
boats, of his Majesty's Ships at Port Royal, she
Would have inevitably sunk.
Lieut. COOTE, Of the Royal Navy, arrived in this
city on Sunday, with dispatches from Capt. PARKIY•
sox, of the Merlin Sloop of War, to Vice'-Admiral
DACREs, confirming the arrival of a French Squadron
to windward : be landed on Friday evening at Port
Maria, from on board the Ship Ann, Capt. ATKINS,
from Barbadoes. In consequence of this intelligence,
,the Fisgard:Frigaw sailed from Port Royal *on the
day following, to...reinforce the Squadron under Rear-
Admiral the Hon. Sir ALEXANDRE COCIIRANE,
K. B. She is to proceed through the Mona Passage,
and to-direCt La Magicienne Frigate, of 36 guns,
to return into port immediately. The Lark Sloop
arrived. on Wednesday in eight days from Bar-
badoes„ with the Vessels from the London Fleet for
this Port.

By a recent arrival - from St. Domingo we learn,
that the French Admiral LESSEIGUES, COmmander
in Chief in the late action off that place, has left the
Island in an American Vessel bound :to Baltimore.
The same authority states, that a communication had
been received:by General FERR A ND, acquainting him
of, the arrival of one Line of Battle Ship .(Veteran)
at Martinique, the forerunner of a considerable re-
inforcement, and that an embargo had been laid on
all Vessels for ten days.
A letter from Barbadoes, received at Montego Bay,
states, ,that the Lilly Sloop of War, and two Gun-
Brigs, were to accompany General MI RANDA on his
intended Expedition against the Spanish Colonies in
South America. •
The following Ships are left at Falmouth, not
being able to join the convoy :—Sheddens, MA C•
DONALD ; John and Thomas, CLARK ; Concord,
READ ; ilfftry and SUSaibla, CLARK, and Echo,
WILSON, for London ; Richard, PluuN ; James,
BRADSHAW, and Sussex, HALL, for LiverpOol.
JULY 12.—La Franchese Frigate; of 36 guns, and
the Pitt Schooner,' arrived on Wednesday from a
cruize. The former Vessel brouglit in with, her a
Spanish Privateer Schooner, captured off Laguira
during her cruize. We understand she captured
several other vessels of a similar class.

On the 4th instant the Union spoke 'a Sloop of
War from this Island, anti learnt from her that she
had a few days before fallen .in with an American
Vessel, which had seen three French Frigates pass
through tbe Mona passage, steering to the .South-
ward. We are inclined to think that this Squadron
of Frigates is that which sailed from L'Orient on the
27th of March : those from-Cadiz having been left
in the latitude of Bermuda on the Ist t4t. on their
return to Europe.
