To conclude, the whole tone of this Frenchi-
fied tirade is most offensively Anti-British, and
worthy of the party from whom it emanates. The
triumph of the Allies is talked of as only coming
within the scope of the ," Chapter of Accidents,"
while the success of the enemy is presumed to be
certain. But as news favourable .to pitting- the
Faction in hopes sufficient to, encourage such ex--

censure.

FROM THE ALBANY GAZF:Ttr: OF FEB. 25.

We arc indebted to the politeness of General
Dearborn, to whom we tender ,otir thanks, for
the following extract of a letter, conveying .h.'
distressing intelligence of fhe capture of Ogdens-
bur,rh by the lititish on the 22d inst.

Jamaica, Barbadoes, and other colonial papersi
to the Ist ult. have been received:
The city of Santo-Domingo has throWn off her
allegiance to the mother country, the people there
having declared themselves independent of Spain.
The' Governor and principal Officers, civil and
military, were Imprisoned, but afterwards libe-
rated.
The Royalists of Rio de Handle have lately
succeeded - in. taking from the S.-.'aiita Marthiana
three town-,.., situate in the interior ; and SOO iuca
deserted in one% day fiom the army of the Inde,-
pendents, commanded by Ge'neralLablitat;
About fourteen days since, one of his Catholic
Majesty's trigates, having 300' troops. on honrei
aid military stores, to rod the Royalits, went into
Santa Mardis, conceiving it to be in possession of
that party. The Captain succeeded .in sinking his
dispatches.
The American ship the President Adams, was
on the. 29th of September, wrecked on:the coast
Of China. The vessel and cargo were valued
at. 300,000 dollari. The day after the wreck,
200 boats, in which were 1500 Chinese fishermen,
came alongside, and plundered the ship of the
specie
,and every movable article, during which
time they began lighting and killing eath other
for the money. The crew were in imminent dan-
ger of being massacred; but they ultimately sac-,
seeded, lit getting one of the boats of the natives,
for 800 dollars,‘ to carry them, to Macao, which
they reached in three days.

The enemy's ships at Cherbargb are again in a
state to proceed, to sea. They were reconnoitred
on Sunday se'nnight, and were found to consist of
two ships of the line, two frigates, two sloopi,
four brj,..;,;, a praam,• and two ;armed store-ships.
The Venerable, Capt. Mt LNt. ; 74,
Capt. Ito.LIDAv ; and Galatea, .capt..LoiACK,
anxiously await their coming out, The Lacede-
mania a, Captain JACKSON, bas been withdrawn

`America. •

It is With concern we hear that a very great
number Of the '37,iteedonian's' ervw hare entered.
into the American service. The remainder ha\'e

change of prisoners; except upon their own prii-
civks;wliicli wonld recognise the validity of their
present mode Qf naturalising the subjects of other
Governments.
'flic following paragraph we copy from :a
Morning Vaper—the barbarity it details is so.dis-
graceful, that it admits of no apology.---Captain
Bavnors and Mr. LAWRENCE started on horse-
back, from Richa rdson's Ilotel in London, at
three o'clock on Monday morning, fin- the Castle
Tavern, Windsor, for a wager of. 30 guineas,
and the horses they rode :The race was won by
