APR IL 30.-We state with pleasure, that orders
have been sent from England to Commodore HOOD,
and the English Courts ,i.‘ Vice-Admiralty in Ame-
rica and the West Indies, not to consider any
blockade of the islands of Martinique and Guada.
' loupe as existing, unless in respect to particular
ports which trny be aaually invested, and then not
to capture vessels bound to such ports, unless they
be previously warned not to enter them.
MAY 2.—Captain FOVTER, who arrived at New..
bury Pott on Thursday from Guadaloupe, was
boarded by a British Vessel of War, and his Re-
gister endorsed as follows, verbatim :—Martinique
being under blockade, you are forbid to enter any
port therein on your peril, or if you do, you will
become a prize ot any of His Majesty's Ships or
Vessels of War.

In the Philadelphia Gazette, we have the two
following paragraphs :
" It is reported, that the Spanish Ambassador
and our Government are so much at variance, that
the latter has baen induced to address the Court of
Spain to reed the Marquis.
c' It is also stated, that some dissatisfaaion exists
among the Members of the Government, and that
several resignations may be expeded."
An American Ship, which touched at the Isle of
France, brings the .following intelligence:
" That Captain FL I:lot:as, of His. M ilest e's I
Navy, with several others, were detairied as Pri-
soners. , i

" That the Troops arrived from Eneope were be-
tween two and three thou•ani men : they have also
a very strong and well disciplined Militia, formed
into two small Corps of Artillery and several Rata-
lions of Infanttl' ; besides which there are different
Squadrons of Light Cavalry, composed chiefly of
inhabitants, who serve voluntarily. • There were a
great number of Merchant Ships in the Port, chiefly
' French, some-Americans, and some Danei. There
were a number of Sepoy Officers, who proposed to
the Government to form Battalions of Africans;
but Government pretended to be averse to the mea-
sure. It was imagined, however, that there were
fifty Cafi•ries armeL: in an Expedition %thief' was ex-
peaed to take place early. The idea of forming
Battalions of Africans appeared to be a favourite ()b-
-je6 with, and was confined to, the Sepoy Officers,
though others reported that it was seriously intend-
ed by the French Government, particularly since
the French Squadron had been in India, as- it was
understood that the English Sepoys entertained par-
ticular apprehensions of those people. This opi-
nion, as is natural to suppose, there was no back-
wardness in disseminating.
'' Fort North West was exceedirTly foul, and
the French admitted that it would nut be difficult
to stop np the mouth of it, and that the most rigid
discipline was observed both in the Army and
Navy."

. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM NEW yoltg, mny I,

" Last evening I received a letter from General
DESSALINES, stating, that as the Privateers out of
Cuba had harassed the trade of St. Domingo, he had

At the rime of his departure, an immediate attack
on the Island was expeCted. The merchants were
removing their effeCis into the interior, and the Pub-
lic Offices were preparing to follow the example. A
very determined resistance was expected, as the
Garrison and inhabitants had resoltred to hold out to
the last extremity. There are other accounts which
come down ten days later. These were hreught by
Captain PE ARSON, who arrived at New-York, after
