FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, MAY 10.—Accounts received in Lon-
don by the packet from the Antilles, a few days-
since, speak of an expedition,' consisting of 11-
vessels, with 2,000 men on board, having sailed
to Samana (in the Spanish port of St. Domingod
under the command of the French Rear Admiral
Jacob. There is every reason to befieve that
the object of this expedition is to protect the es-
tablishments which a great number of Frenchmen
had preserved in that Peninsula, under the in"
fluence of the Spanish Government. The Colo-
nists wrote to General Donzolot7 Governor of the
French Antilles, to requeSt hiS assistance. It i 5
stated in letters from Brest, that Admiral Jacob
had disembarked 1,200 men on the coast of Samana•
This debarkation was protected by 4 frigates, one
of which was enabled to work in so near the shore,
that its' fire could command the plain. Shortly
afterwards a division of the army of Boyer came
to reconnoitre these troops ; a brisk engagement
tonic place; but the French, supported by the fire
of the frigate, remained masters of the field.'
The white flag remained hoisted at Samana.----
Letters from Cayes of the 9th March, received
at Bordeaux, state that an embargo had been put
upon all the French vessels there. This circum-
stance seems to confirm the first part of the intel-
ligence.—(Journal de Paris.)
The Moniteur, alluding to the intelligence in
the English Papers respecting Samana, says, ola
the authority of the Jean Bart, now in quarantine
in Brest,
cc That at the urgent intreaties of the French settled at Ss-
mana, some of the vessels stationed in the West Indies
proceeded under the command of Rear-Admiral Jacob' to
offer assistance, and if necessary an asylum to those unfor-
tunate Colonists, manaced with an invasion which threatened
consequences of the most formidable nature. But it is ab-
solutely false that any troops landed at Samana, that the
white flag was hoisted there—that any hostile act Was,
either committed there, or prepared by the vessels
the Bing. There, as in all seas, they confined them-
selves to show their flag ready to offer an asylum, not merely
to Frenchmen, bilt to the unfortunate of all nations, when the
Government, under the prOtection of which they were living'
could no longer guarantee them from the evils inseparabit fef
them, from a change of domination. Samana belongs-to SpAi'l;
and the French Generals commanding in the West Indies are
too. well acquainted with the rights of nations, to be suspect
even of wishing to take possession, either by surprise force'
of a country belonging to a friendly power."
