LONDO N, MARC if 18, ISoz.

THIS forenoon we received, and we believe ex-
clusively, the Maniteurs of rie 14th and ssth inst.
They contain the Official Dispatches from St. Do-
nzinga, with a Detail of the Operations there, from
which" it appears that the French Force has met
with the most determine& resistance from the
Blacks. There are Letters irorn both the Ad-
miral and General; • That of the former being
the most precise; we shall extraa the most ma-
terial points, reserving the full details till to-mor-
row, as we are pressed in point of time, and the
Details are very long.
The Letter from Admiral VIZ.LARET
_is dated
Feb. loth, from on board the Ocean, in the Road of
the Cape. He gives an account of his voyage, and
they made Cale Santana in +6 days from their leav-
ing Brest.
_ _ .

On the zd of February the Division, of General
ROCHAMBEALT landed in the Bay of Mancenille.
A Mulatto named SANGOS, exercising the office
of Captain of the Port at the Cape, went on board
the Ocean. Incte'ad of consenting to,pilat her into
tlie Cape, he declared that the Black General
CHRrs•roftsE had ordered him to acquaint us, that
the Whites would be massacred, and the City set on
fire, the instant the Squadron attempted the Har.
hour, if the French 'refused to wait the return of a
Courier which he had sent to TOUSSAINT LQu

VERTURE.
The French Commanders thought that so des-
perate a 'resolution could only have been -inspired
by fears injurious to the French Government. The
General in Chief, LECLERC, wished to write to
CHRISTOrI-IE, to inform him -of the friendly in.
tentions of the Chief Consul, and to attempt to bring
him back to his duty, by explaining what was
due to a Soldier and a Frenchman. Ensign LEBRUN
was charged with 'this delicate mission. The Cap-
tain of the Port was kept on boards and the Fleet
stood off and-on.
On the 4th, LEBRUN brought back the Answer'
of General CIIRISTOPHE, containing an absolute
refusal to receive the Army, and a positive resolu-
tion to burn the City in case the French persisted.
CHRISTOPHE had. formally. declared that he would
receive no orders but those of ToussAIN.T.
A Deputation of the Inhabitants of the Cape went
on bbard the French' Admiral, begging him to
desist, as the City would oth-trwise be destroyed.
In the mean time the twenty_four hours requested
for the Answer of TOUSSAINT elapsed ; while
all private accounts agreed, that he was in the
City, or at leist in the neighbourhood, the invisible
spring of all the movements that had taken place.
The General in. Chief sent back the Deputation,
ordering the Mayor to read to his Fellow-citizens
the Proclamation of. the FIRST CONSUL, and to ex-
plain to them the perfidious intentions of their Chiefs.
C/ESAR TELEMACHUS, a Negro truly French, per-
formed that duty with the most heroic courage.
From that moment it was necessary for us to giVe
up all hopes of saving the City, or permit the
French Laws and the Honour of the Government to
be trampled under, foot. .
On the same day the Syrene Frigate brought in-
telligence of the successful disembarkation in the
Bay of Mancenille, and the entry of the French
Troops into Fort Dauphine.
All the
.Troops were embarked on board the Fri-
gates, Boats, and Canoes, and stood in the night,
towards Lim/6 but the calm prevented them from
arriving during the night.
On. the Sth in the morning, the Division of
Frigates had not arrived at its destination, when
Di patches were brought . from .General RuctiAm.

While the debarkation was going on from' tbe
Frigates, two Ships were ordered to present then.r'
selves at the entrance of the Harbour, to draw urc'''
them the attention of the Enemy. A fire of Cank')°44o
and Bombs was immediately opened on these Ves''l''
The approaCh of night obliged the Fleet to retir,
from the Coast, when, the refle&ion from the 11°6'
,
-zon announced that the City was on 'fire, and
French Troops were obliged the whole night- 91
witness this scene, without being able to lend ail
'assistance.
On the following day, the French Admiral taki"g.
advantage of the first breeze, made fur the Harb°°'
ordering all' the Ships to follow him. 'The F°r,ts
wete abandoned,, and the Squadron anchored at bLe
Mole without damage. The Ships"' Crews "c .
immediately disembarked. The French rft°4s
arrived in.time to save the lower part of the City.
