Qn the 7th July the Duke of Kent Packet spoke
in hit. 48, 3&, long. 20, 37, the ship Mary* from
Charleston, bound to Cowes, out 29 days, and on
the following day she spoke the Prince Frodericic

wick, from Martinique for London, our 26 days.
By accounts from Baltimore (North America),
we learn, that the Schooner Nymph, Captain COP.'
LET, laden with flour and corn, having been out
four days from Philadelphia, bound to Charleston
(S. C.) had the misfortune to run aground off Cape
Lock out-shoals, on the night of the r6th April, the
wind being N. by E. After being bilged, in about half
an hour she went to pieces, all her cargo having been
previously washed overboard. The Captain and
Crew had cut away lir main-mast, in the fait
of which great part of the larboard side of the declC
was carried along with it, and the boat entirely
lost. The Crew consisted of eight in number, and
one passenger, every soul of whom, except one John
Kelly, a young Englishman, are said to have perished.
The Captain betook himself to a piece of the
mast, and the rest to spars, oars, &c. Kelly, who
still hung to the main wreck, got off nearly an hoot
after, during which time he was endeavouring to
procure from the wreck some part most likely to ef-
fea his safety. He passed by all his fellow_suf•
ferers but the cook, who did not go through
the breakers ; when he had gone some distance
by the Captain, he looked hack, and waved his
hat, which was only answered by a shake. of the
head. He never saw one of them after.—Float-
ing on, for two days and a night, and often
overwhelmed by the breakers, he got with n two
miles of the shore, when the wind shifting. lie,
was again driven to' sea all)ve six mile.— i'iis
wafted at the mercy of the waves, he was at leng,,i47,
discovered about a mile off, by Capt. Dundley, ..4
the schooner Hannah, from Beaufort, North Caro-
lina, who humanely put about, and who was fortu,
nate enough to snatch this hapless victim from a
watery graye.—Capt. Dundley, who arrived sate at
Baltimore on the 3oth, says, that for sevetat hours
betbre he came up with Kelly, he observed aor,
&c. fivating 9n the water,

" Basse-Terre, May 25, 1832.

" I have only delayed for so long.a period to give you an
ctotlnt of what has pissed here, in order that i might, when
(I informed you that ~v.e had found Rebels to combat, announce
to you at the'satne time, that they were vanquished.

. .
" On the,7th, we effe&ed our disembarkation at Cosier,
and at the port of Point-a-Pitre. At the latter place we had
every reason- to -be:ie..e that we should meet with resistance
from the BatteriesOf l'lslt-.1-Cochon, and those of the
torts of Fleur d' E ptle and l'Union.
`‘ Tw6 Ships ant:bort-A before the Cosier, and disembark-
ed their Troops, who: immediately afterwards were ordered
to march upon the Morue Mascatte, in order to take the Fort
rleur d'EPC::e in the zsar, and cut off its communication
ivith the redoubts Pirnbridge and Stivenson. The. Troops
disembarked at the port of the Point,. were to march to the
River to take possession of the Fort de la•Vidoire,
IPA then of the F,ort l'Union.

our dispositions were, hOwever, useless ; they
`were expecting us on the quay, where they received us with
cries 9f 44 Vive 14. Republique! Vive BONA PARTE I"
The Troops. formed themselves on the Place de la Arielloire,
vthefe r Toiind IZLACE, who assured me of the entire
submission of the whole Island.: I ordered him to deliver up
all this Pcsts at the Fortsot Fleur d'Ep6e,.pnidn, and La
VV9irc, and alsO the recloubtS Sitilbridge and Stivenson.
1-1.2 promised me that he would giVC:.orders- in consequence,
and also to assemble u4i. the reildribt Stivenson all his
TrPops.in this part of the Malt, and Whiell I wished to re-
view the same evening.
" The French Troops assembled upon the Place-la
I°ll'e, under the Fott of that name, where the detachnients
were formed which were to.occupy he different P,;i:tS, arid
which set off for that,pUrpose. A moment after,. I was in-
formed that I Gl,lfre, the Commandant of the Fort of laVie-
tcire, would 4not sillier the, Troops I had sent to enter the
Tort, ' I ordered •itrem-..t0 enter at the par de Marge, mit°
mote prisoners 00 cNA c z.and his Troops. The Commm(l7
anr of the Detachment beat the Charge, .but lon ACE re-
treated Vvith his Troops, by a gate,upisosite -to that by Nvhich
I'veentered. .
" During this time Proceeded with the rest of,.the.
Tr°Vt,iTnder Fort Stivenson, the-rendezvous as i,;nedfor the

axerublihii. of the Black Troops. The day had disappeared,
fld., in Spite of tile. obscurity of the night, I perceived
a great n'arnl:,er of Black Soldiers were spread about
the Country under ar:ns. It then occurred to ,me,
'what I had often heard said, that P Et. .t.e, was a traitor.
liaving.arrived at the place otrendezvous, I found P SLAG E.,
Who irtformtci me that many of hiS Officers; ands great uum-
13it of his Soldiers,. hid deserted hint. joined, however,
'4('''e whom I found there, and spoke to them in terms stit-
td the occasion:

" Little satisfidd with what I had seen amongst these
?mops, and with the desertion of others, I decided to em-
}Ark those whona 1 had with me, in the night, aird
fermed them that wished to have them with me in Pro-
ceeding t 6 Basse-releol .
" On the next tleY f sent fio. men by land ,towards les
Trois Rivieres, and re-embarked -1503 men is the Frigates;
litt use Port being;tteke a mouse'-trap,!l Ship candot, melte its
Ivey out, except when it is calm. • A calm does not take
place sometimes for several (14Y+ and is generally of so little
duration, that rarely more than one Vessel can get out. We
'were obliged therefore to transport the Troops on board
the Ships anchor:croft' Cosier, and Much time being
Cus lost, added to conttary winds, we did not arrive before
laSse-Terre until the loth at noon. The discharges of can-
tan direded against us, left us no lotiget in doubt as to the
etuation of affairs. Being ready, however, either ter Peace
4-for War, we lost no tittle in diseinbarking,
" At the first discharge of cannon, I sent a Cantle With a
:etter to PELAGE, bore. by an Officer of the Colony.—
lot seeing him return, the'Troops, which were placed in the
thaloupes, rowed towards the shore, and landed a little be-
Yana the mouth of the River Duplessis, under the fire of the
tatteries and Musquetry. The valour of the Troops was con-
iPieuously displayed on this occasion, and I assure you they
lad much to do, to gain, during the day, the Right, Bank of
the River des Peres.
" During the night the Troops aIL assembled on this
lanke and at day-break they did not march, but run at the
I'leiriF• The position of the Enemy on the Left Bank: of
'le River, was agreed on all hands to be a very fine one, and
the Rebels were well armed. Their Position, was, however,
forced in ten minutes ; a part of the Revolters threw ehem-
ielves into tort St. Charles, and another part geneed the
trir'tnes on our left e we pursued. &ten towards Galion and
;`le Midge de Nosiere.
" General S eels ta, who remained at GrandeTerre, hav-
ing had orders to assemble what Troops he could in that
Part, now left what force he thought indispensably necessary
for the maintenance of tranquillity in the Countri,. and with
the Battalion of the t sth, which had come by land from Petit
Bourg to Trois Rivieres, joined us by les Palmiste, and
1
tohii.v: Canard. , Until then, we cculd not undertake any
against the Fort.
" This junetion being effeded, we disembarked the can-
'4°4 from the Ships, and after inconceivable difficulties,
hating to drag them up very steep mountains, we at length
termed a Battery of 3o pieces of cannon, which was enabled
to ad on the et st. On the 2.2 d, at seven in the evening, the
Fort was evacuated by the Rebels, who profited by the non-
teeution of my order, by which 400 men weft to have been
1/laced on the 'left bank of the Ca:ion, for the purpose of
ISking them prisoners.
" The Army in consequence pUrsued this mob, which is
:nattered through all the woods and monies. Their
vlnets are DELGRESEE, NIASSGTEAV, IGNACE, GIDEON,
p"'ERME, KIRONANNE,. Zee. •
Seine habitations are burnt, but there are no longer dis-
rtierlY Assemblies. I can now maintain my Troops in the
Drnmunes,and easily keep down all theßrigands.
In the afEiir of BasseeTerre, the Army had 300 wounded,
"4 about too killed.
Itt;N:eMany Officers of all ranks have distinguished them-
s. I shall take care to make-them known to you in my
ki, t dispatch, and also to transmit to you the names of the
'led and Wounded.
