PORTPATRICK, MARCH
30.

A remarkable circumstance took place in one of
the packets a few days age, in its passage to Ire-
land. The vessel was suddenly overtaken by a
squall, which laid her on her beam ends, and threw
two Gentlemen and a Lady overboard. The Gen-
•tktnen were immediately picked up, but the Lady
went down. Fortunately the vessel's way was stop-
ped by the jib splitting, which threw her to the wind.
In a few minutes the Lady came up on the contrary
side, and by the alive exertions of one of the seamen,
who threw himself overboard and seized her, was
happily saved. She had beep upwards of twelve
minutes in the water, and when brought on board?
was senseless. She soon, however, recovered, and
is now quite well.

Private Letters from Paris, from persons of the
best information, state, that some circumstances
have arisen at Si. Domingo, which, if an, amicable
accommodation of them is not efeded, threaten to
lay the foundation for hostilities between the French
Republic and the United States.
On the arrival of the French Expedition. at that
Island, there were in the different Ports about 6o
sail of American vessels freighted with flour. The
Commanders of the French Troops proposed to the
owners to purchase their.cargoes, by a payment of
one-fifth in specie, and to give bills on the Repubr
lican Government for the remainder ; an arrange.
ment which was peremptorily rejetied. As the
French Troops were in extreme want of provisions,
the Admiral and Captain General declared the car-
goes to be in a state of requisition, and seized them
for the use of the Expedition. This a& of aggres-
sion has created considerable dissatisfaction in the
United States;; 'and the American Ambassador at
Paris, Mr. Livxxos-roNE, has been instructed to
make a spirited remonstrance on the violence -and
injustice of it.
Mr. SHAW will start from Barton on Tuesday

next, the zoth instant, at five o'clock in the morn'.
