Advices were received yesterday from Fassque-
roads, which afford the hope that an opportunity will
soon present itself to our seamen of distinguishing
themselves there. A French squadron, consisting of
one 3-decker, five 74's, three frigates, and some smal-
ler ships of war, are said to be lying in the roads, as
protection of a strong battery, but not
yet under the
at a greater distance than two gun-shots from the
British squadron, which had come to anchor in the
same roads, consisting of one 3-decker, and three
74,5. The enemy had more than once evinced a dis-
position to face this' inferior force, but the wind, it
was thought, had not hitherto exactly favoured their
intention. They are probably very difficult to please
In this respect; however, our brave fellows were only
desirous that the enemy would leave the batteries—'
they might have all the advantages they could wish;
either from the state of thelsiodp or from their ex-
isting superiority of force. - •

A newly-discovered Island, in the latitude of about
S 4 South, named Macquarrie Island, in compliment
to the Governor of the British possessions of Austral

Asia, has opened an additional fruitful field to ad-
venturers in the Seal Fishery, and the enterprizes of
th, se individuals mho prosecuted the fishing at Mac-
quarrie Island, have been abundantly rewarded.—
Upwards of 80,000 Seals have been caught at dolt
island in the course of a few months.
A letter from an OfEcer at Kingston, our }react'
quarters in Upper Canada, dated on the 4th ultimo,
states that the army in that, situation is very much
diswpointed at the interruption given by the armis-
tice, as by this arrangement the opportunity might
be lost of taking a great quantity of stores, and other
property, belonging to the Americans. The truce'
was to terminate in four days after the date of the
letter, and at the expiration of that time the troops
Were to proceed against Niagara, where no doubt
was entertained of their success. General PREVOST was
watching the motions of General DEARBORN near Al-
bany, not with 15,000 men as was stated, but probably
with about half that number ; which force mat held
to be quite sufficient to meet, and destroy, the irregu-
lar multitude under the native commander.
The following is an explanation regarding the pro-
Percy lately consigned from hence to the United-
States. The obsesvations are dated from America
(Washington we presume), 26th September :
" The small portion of British property in the
vessels arrived, is sought out with avidity by the pri.
vateersmen, and Custows-house Officers, for the pur-
pose of condemnation. Proof of the property being
American is to be produced at the time of entry, and
if it be satisfactory, the goods are delivered to the
owners on their giving bond for the amount ; but if
it be not satisfactory, and there be reason to suspect
that the property is British, kis seized. The bonds
given for the goods will be liable to the penalties of
the Non-Importation Act, unless Congress pass a re-
trospective law to cancel it. This, it is supposed, will'
be done, and the Secretary of the Treasury, GAL:.
LATIN, has assured the importrs, that it was the de.
agn of the Administration to recommend to Congress
'1) cancel the bonds given for American property, bit I
iveonfiscate the whole of the British ProPerVes•
