the /alma of botninica, bail mile an attempt oppii
Antigua ; and upon this intelligence a rumour was
founded last night that Antigua had surrendered.—r
To the American intelligence we ate disposed to
give very little credit ; and certainly none to that
which was manufattured at home. It will be re.
collated that the French evacuated Dominica on
the zd of Match : if they had gone immediately to
Antigua, it is almost impossible but some account
of it must have reached this Country before this
time. We have very little doubt but that we were
comet in our first statement, that the French upon
leaving Dominica tetired either to Guadalcupe or
Martinico.

It does not appear that DESSALINES has made his
grand attack upon the City of St. Domingo, but he
'had colleded a most formidable force for that pur.
pose. A New. York Paper, of the loth March,
mentions an exploit of the Spaniards, which is very
far from refietling any credit upon their honour or
their courage, and which will expose them to
severe retaliation from DESSALINES• It is stated,
that the Black Chief sent one of his Naval Cap.
tains, sits Commandant of an Armed Schooners to
summon Porto Plata to surrender. The Spaniards
received them with apparent satisfaltion, and in.
vited the Captain, his Officers and Crew, consist.
ing of 25 Men, on shore, to partake of an enter.
tainment. The invitation was accepted ; but ,no
sooner had the unfortunate Blacks landed, than they
were surrounded and every one put to death except
the Captain, who was sent to General FE/KANO.
