DOVER, SEPT. 17.

THE Flag of Truce that sailed from hence for
Calais yesterday morning, returned at ten o'clock
last night with Dispatches from Mr. MERRY,
&c. &c. and at half past one this morning a French
Boat arrived with a single packet for M. OTTO,
which was immediately forwarded by Express.

According to the last French Papers, an English
Vessel, of about 200 tons, in ballast, waa stranded
on the night of the loth instant, about a league
eastward of the Harbour of Calais. She was at
first taken for one of the English Armed Vessels
on that station. A Gun-boat, which was close in
shore, saved the Ship's Company.-7-Two detach-
ments- of Infantry and Chasseurs, with a nunibet-
of Sailors and Carpenters, were sent to save as
much of the rigging and other articles as could be
taken away, and to set fire. to the Vessel. ,-The
Gunboat kept up a constant fire upon them ; but
not one of them was hurt, though her twenty-four
pounders fell considerably beyond the wreck, which
was soon in flames.

The Thomas,, Tookey, from Jamaica to Liver-
pool, put back the third July, with some damage,
having been on shore.

At a Court of Diredors of the East India Com-
pany held' on Wednesday last, Captain ROBERT
WILLIAMS was sworn into the command of the
new Ship Thames.
Mr. JOHN HATTON was appointed to the com-
mand of the Swift Pilot Sloop, in the room of Mr.
JOHN PIPER, who has resigned.
Mr. JoHN THOMPSON was appointed to the com-
mand of the Diligence Pilot Sloop.

A full Committee of Shipping was held for the
purpose of taking into consideration the tender of
Ships of five and six hundred tons, when 7030 tons
were agreed to be taken up to bring home gruff
goods and tonnage of individuals ; no period is yet
fixed for the sailing of these ships—but sonic of
them we understand are to touch at Madeira.

New-York Papers up to the Sth.of August, were
received yesterday.
Accounts from the Havannah state, that the Spa-
nish Minister of Marine at that port had beer' ar-
rested at midnight, all h4-papers had been seized,
and he himself closely confined "in the Moro Castle.
Two Admirals and the Captain of, a Ship of the
Line had also been put under arrest. These pro-
ceedings are said to have originated in some serious
disagreement with the Comptoller-General of the
Navy.

In these Papers we find a remonstrance to the
President, from a number of Masters
,of Ships who
are detained at Barcelona in consequence of the rup-
ture with the Barbary Powers, _praying that the
most speedy means may be adopted for sending out
a force adequate to their protection. This remon-
strance was favourably received, and the Govern-
ment has already dispatched a force sufficient to al-
low them to proceed on their voyage with safety.
On the 6th of April the Deputies forming. the
Central Assembly of Si. Doth;ngo, met by the desire
of TOUSSAINT Louv ERTURE, and were regularly
Jilstalled into their funaions. After the usual_ for-
malities on such occasions, as an address to the
General by the Deputies, and a suitable reply Iby
the General, the Deputies proceeded to discuss the
subjea of the Constitution tabe given to the Island.
The result. of these deliberations is not certainly
known, though, it is said, that a Constitution has
been already agreed upon, and that TOUSSAINT has
been, by a Legislative Decree, declared Governor pf
the Colony.
