terktay morning the Frehch Friga,es Didon and Sy-
got under weigh, with an intentinn, as WAS
UnderutoOd, of prcceeding to sea. When they
arrived at the Hook, a strong S trtherly breeze and
fiood.tide coming in, they were obliged tai come to
ahchor in Gravesend Bay. They were at one time
within ab,tit four miles of the Leander and Corr.
brian. When they hove in sight the British
S!tips each fired a gun to windward in token of de.

fiance.
The French Frigates, it is expelled, intend to
preeeed at,all hazards.
Atrouer 3 r.—The French Frigates have come
to their former anchorage near the City. It is said,
they went down fur the purpose of cleaning their
copper. A small firing was heard yesterday, which
induced the. opinion that an engagement had taken
place. We understand, however, that it was no-
thing more than a sham.fight between the Leander
and Camir;aa, jest eutside of the Hook, and in
sight of the French Frigates.
Seri. 4.—Capt. DePRAID, of the French Na.
tional Corvette Li Amitie, arrived at Savannah in
eighteen clays from Porto Rico, mentions, that cm
the 3d of June the Brigands made an attack on St.
Jago. The Spaniards, who were TOOO men, sent
to St. Domingo for a French ()ulcer to command
them. Gen. DEVAUX was sent by Gen. FERRAND
for that purpose. The Brigands were defeated, and
driven back with considerable loss.
Capt. STORY, from Gonaives, informs, that an
Army of 2000 men, under the command of the
lit,:ck Gen. DeSCAL INES, were mustering to proceed
against the City of St. Domingo.
GeV. FERRAN!), with the French Troops, be.
sides tie City of Sr. Domingo, occupy St. Jago and
Azle.- Col. PeRELTZ commands the Spanish Na.
tionol Guards, who fight like veteran Soldiers. In
the defeat of Monet N ESs at St. jag°, by General
FEIRAND, the former bad zOOO men killed, and a
great many more wounded. The enraged Black
Chief, to avenge his loss, cruelly ordered several
Whites and 'Mulattoes to be massacred, and site
Cities of Monte Christi and Fort Dauphin reduced
to ashes. St. Domingo is in a complete state of
defenct; and if the French Agents in the United
States exert. themselves in its favour, it must hold
out until peace is'established, however remote that
period may he.
We hear that Capt. Castel., an Aid.de.Camp
of General FE RR AND, Commander in Chief of St.
.mingo, leis arrived at B dtimore, in order to de.
mend the Troops lately ordered to France by M.
P10,11()N,' the French Charge d'Affaires, and to
procure supplies fo‘r the use of the I' tench Army in
St. Domingo, which for a year past have suffered
every hardship.

An Anirrican Squadron continues to blockade

making for the liberation of the Prisoners taken in

"means to bombard Tripoli. We had a brush not
long since with the Neapolitan Gun.hoats, who very
prudently kept under the gums of the Batteries. I
have much pleasure in informing you of several cap.
turns made by the different Vessels of the Squadron.
One was a vessel having a Tripolitan Ambassador

this quarter, and it is said that we have not a suf.

made by the kyren has a considerable quantity of
specie on hoard, and she is to be sent to the United
States for adjudication."
LoUISIANIA.—This Country, from the Frenchi.
fted manners and opinions of the inhabitants, is like.
ly to prove a very troublesome acquisition to the
United States. The inhabitants have already de.

,prepared a Remonstrance on the
stobj,oi, from which we extra& the following para.

" There is one subjea, extremely interesting to
us, in which great care has been taken to prevent

Fil seletted by the President himself. The African
Trade is absolutely prohibited, and severe penalties
imposed on a traffic free to all the Atlantic States
who chose to engage in it, and, as far as relates to
procuring the Subiatts of it from other States, per.
,Mit fa even in the territory of the Mississippi.
" It is not our intention to enter on arguments that
have become familiar to every femme' on this ques.
'don ; we only ask the right of deciding it for our.
Selves, and of being placed in tills raped, on an
equal footing with other States. To the necessity of
employing African labourers, which arises from chi.
mate, and the species of cultivation pursued in warns
latitudes, is added a reason, in this country peculiar
to itself. The banks raised to restrain the waters of
the Mississippi can only be kept in repair by those
whose constitutions and habits of labour enable them
to resit the combined diens of a deleterious mois.

this labour is great ; it requires many hands. and
it its all important to the,vcry existence of our Coun-
try. Is, therefore, this traffic is justifioble any
where, it is surely in this province, where, unless
it I. permitted, Cultieation must cease, the improve.
merits of a Centre' be destroyed, and the great river
resume its entpite over our ruined Melds and demo.

frequently decisive, and produces the most important

SATtIRDAY, OCTOBER X 3, 1804.

YESTERDAY afternoon we received Illery•York
Papers to the 9th ult. From Sr,; Domingo it is
stated, that a body of Spanish Troops had defeated
the Blacks near St. Jago, with great slaughter, the
latter having lost one thousand men.
'Some Dutch bler; have also been received,
which mention that BONAPARTE, having accom-
plished the °bird of his visit to Mentz, had quitred
that City. The baneful effects to Europe of his
conferences at Mentz will probably too soon become
apparent.

Yesterday' Dispatches were received from Sir
JOHN DUCKWOR TH, at jmn.iica anal from Sir
ANDREW MITCHIJLI.., ric Halifax.

A Letter from Paris of the z6th states, " that
the Deputation limn that capital to tot!et and-com
pliment the Pope on the French Frontiers, W4l to
Set 'rut on the zd ofOlober. There have been great
:intrigues both in the Senate, in. the Council of State,
and in the Tribunate, saving the Generals anti
Bishops to be seleCted for this mission. After long
and violent discussions, each Corps fixed up.,11 cer.
twin number ()fits Members, who Ernie preparatOns
accordingly for, the jouroey, when Geneol CAfFA-
RE ,rrived from Cologne with anothei'lis; qroin
BONAPARTE, excluding all those previously chosen.
It is supposed that IioNAPAKTIt found himself
offended with the Constituted Authorities for no.
Initiating these Deputies without his previous per.
mission and orders. This has eaused much laughter
upon one side, and discontent on the other ; and is
another proof of the precarious liberty tni,yed by
ever' BOII,O*ARTE'S favourite placemen. CAyvA.
RELLI, as well as General MURAT, are still at Paris,
and wait for another Courier trOm BUNAPAPTE be-
fore they publish his official list, as they have vrt:-
turned to propose some alterations, parrictilarly, as
Senator FltiOUlls, appointed by BONAPARTR to be
`of the Deputation, died suddenly."
Yesterday the Volunteer Brigade, consisting of
the following Regiments, the Royal Westminster,
Loyal North Britons, Duke of Glourester's, St.

in Hyde. Park. The whole went through the vari.
sus manoeuvres in a most creditable style, and Tr-
edve& the warmest thanlo of the Noble General for
their discipline and c.,i.dtuti.
The Brecon Volunteers are stationed for a month's
duty at Hereford,

The Royal [-Lase Guards (Blues) are expeaed to
march from Canterbury in the course of the castling
week. Their dtstination is said to be Windsor ;
the ist Dragoon Guards are mentioned as likely to
succeed them.

The 52i (Reserve) Battalion of the 57th Regi-
ment, under the command of Major SHNDFORTII,
marched into► Canterbury on Wednesday, and yestcr.
day proceeded on its route for Ramsgate, where
they are to embark fir Jersey. The 3 tst Regi-
ment, expeeted from Jersey, is not destined for the
Southern, us before stated, but for the Eastern Dis.
fria.

The two Troops .i 1 the Royal Horse Artillery,
which were el.c.ialped otkeoxheath,° have broke up
and marched from thence to Woolwich.

The Letter from Fouell a to the French Clergy,
which has a,,peared in the Public. Prints as well as
that from Cardinal 11/wRY, is said to be a flibrica.
lion by a certain ingenious French journalist, who
generally employs his inventive powers in that man.
ner when there is a dearth of intelligence. Indeed,
it was hardly to h supposed, that FouCli would
condescend to silicit the French Clergy t„ ~upptess
religious animositimas it is in his pawct to c ,minand
them as he pleases, and by his own authority tu•si.
