NEW YORE, SEPT. 7.

The French frigate le Valeureuz, of 32 guns, now
refitting at Moreno Hook, is one of the fquadron
known by the name of Jeacima's fquadron, which
moved to the Welward after quitting the Weft In-
dies. The French cruifed feveral days off Charlellon,
in hopes of intercepting (cone of the Britith convoys
from the Welt Indies, when, finding they were Rill
allern, they Rood to the eaflward. About the tzth
or t3th of Augull, their look out frigate, the Va.
leureuz, difeovered a Britifh convoy, of forty fail,
and three (hips of war, and immediately made fail
to return to her fquadron. On the 54th (be took the
Britifb (hip Hebe, NEWTON, from Trinidad for Ber-
muda ; and after taking out the people, and fuch
so ticks as they chore, they funk the (loop, and
brought the people in. On the t 7th, in lat. 27. long.
64. le Valeureux fell in with her fquadron : but at
this time the (hip of Jsaorse was miffing, and fur het
they lay-to two days ; but not being joined by her,
they determined to purfue the convoy without him ;
but loon after, the ,9th of Anguß, a moll tremen.
dons gale of wind came on, which in the night fepa-
rated them, and obliged them to reek a port of fafety.
The Valeureux putted for Virginia ; but, when off
the Chefapeak, was obliged to bear away for the
Delaware, as the wind was ahead. The Valeureuz
was obliged to cut away her mizen mart, carried
away both her other top malls, top fails, fore and
main and Ray fails, and received other damage.—
The fquadron has taken eighteen prizes fince they
left •Itlartinico, among which are the Hebe, above
mentioned, and the brig. , Capt. Motels,
from Newfoundland for Barbadoes, which they alfo
plundered and funk.
Arrived off this port the brig Ceres, from Haven.

Eriglith brig, laden with coffee, &fitted ; pot the
mate and two perfuns on board, and took charge of
her.—Aug. z 7, fell in with and boarded an Englifh
fhip, likewife deferted ; her main and mizen mall
gene by the board ; took out feveral articles, and left
her.—Sept.9 parted with the brig in a revere hurri-
cane from h. 1.4 E.

loft her redder, malts, and bow fprit, and having (even hundred I
men on board. The Frenchman ordered Captain T. to fend his
boat or board, which he did, and was furprized to fee it return,
fora after, full of men annul, who brought • tow line on beard,
and made it (alt to his main matt. Captain T. told them It would
tear his vend to pieces ; but he was not heeded. The other vcf-
fel, which was commanded by Captain Grazier, of Holton, then i
came up, having two Micas and Sec Frenchmen on beard. They
Rood W. S. W. sod were very nigh petting foul of the maa of war,
and would, had not Captain T. cite the hawfcr. Captain T.'s fails
were torn in piece.., and the Frenchmen, confining of a Lieute-
nant, Midfliipman,and fin men, took comnund of the velfel—and ,
miftruiting he intended making spat, bore about the (hip. The
Captains of the fehooners went on board the AIM to And out

attended it to Seer the (hip—they bad got up main and tore (par

going to make fail, and take him in tow, hand his fails, and Rau

they were corning all mimed the seffels, which meld not hold
them with (wept holds. Captain T. then returned to hat

Extra& of a letter from Wilmington, North Cir.
rolina, dated Auguß :6 :
We have witneifed the molt violent and deftrue.
live norm of wind and rain ever before known here.
On Thurfday evening left, the gale commenced at
N. E. and increafed, by degrees, until Friday about
ten A. M. it then became a hurricane, and blew with
' the utrooft violence. On Saturday, at day light, the
wind began to veer, and about (even A. M. fettled
at S. W. and continued untill twelve or die o'clock,
when it teemed to abate, but did not fublide until be.
tween five and fix in the afternoon. The tide role to
a height heretofore unknown ; the wharfs are much
damaged ; the lefs in dry goods, fait, fugar, rice,
lumber, &c. is beyond conception, and cannot be af.
certained. When the wind fhifted to S. W. it teemed
to threaten univerfal deftruAion, the gable ends of
three brick houfet were walked or blown down ;
many wooden buildings were cenfiderably wrecked,
and tome unfinifhed ones entirely demolilbed. Mr.
Ifaac Walden was killed by the falling of an old
burnt wall, and we hear that feveral negroes have
beeb killed, and one drowned, on plantations, in our
vicinity. As far as we have been able to obtain in-
formation, the crops of corn, peas, Tice, kc. ale al-
ma entirely dellroyed. The falling of trees, and
breaking up of bridges, have fufpended the commu-
nication between the town and country, and the Rage
not having arrived, we are unable to give an account
of the extenfive and diftreffing toffee, inevitable
throughout the diftrie, and, we fear, the whole Rate.
The following vcffels were driven from their an
chorage and faits, and have gone on fhore : the Ma-
tilda, with the lots of her malls, which went by the'
board the infant fist 'truck ; fhip Cape Fear, Bet.
nard ; brig Matilda, Hunter ; brig Polly, owned by.
Mr. Howell, of Rhode Bland; brig Sufannah, of
Charieflon ; brig Sally, of Troy ; fchooner Regula-•
tor, Dl•llbenny ; fchooner Liberty, Rand(let, of New
York ; and a fchooner belonging to New River.
The brig Hiram, Church, of Hallowell, from Ber-
biee, with a cargo of fugar and coffee, homeward-
bound, is amore on the beach near Deep Inlet ; and
the fchooner Two Sifters, of New River, lies on the
beach near Barren Inlet.

At Smithville, the damages were fevere. The
wharfs are completely deftroyed, and chimnies and
fences blown down. The (hip Commerce, of New
York ; brig Ranger ; fchoonersClarifti and Eliza, of
Ncrwich, with outward bound cargoes, arc on thorn.
I'wo pettiaugers (love ; all the (mail craft and plea-
lure boats are at a vaft diftance on the land. The
revenue cutter, Governor William's, of Newbern,
employed cm the fumy of the coati, by cutting her
malts and flinging her guns, and heaving them out;
ta shill her anchors, rode out the gale. No lives
were loft.

-The gale commenced at Smith,ille, un Thnrfday,
at N. E. and increafed all Friday ; between to and
is o'clock on Friday night it (hiked fuddenly to
S. W. and blew a hurricane until to o'clock, when
it Bated to W. The tide was higher than was ever
known fIRCe the year 1762 or 1763, when New Inlet
broke ; the fea was uncommonly agitated.
The brig Polly, of —, 4o days from Jamaica,
in ballaft, with a pilot on board, was feen at anchor
off the Bar on Tburfday, with topmafts down.—
Great apptehenfions are entertained for her faiety.

GENERAL MIRAN' A.
" raw TOIL, sa►T.ss.
" Captain &own, of the brig Ontario, who ar-
rived this morning, in twenty days from Curacoa,
informs us, that after taking Coro Port, MIRANDA
was defeated in an engagement with the Spaniards,
and compelled to re-embark."

" PEILADCLPMIA, MT. 13.
" Capt. Baoww, of the fbip Ontario, from Cura-
coa, informs us, that accounts had been received
there from the Main, which Sated that MIRANDA
landed at Coro on the Loth of Augult, and took poi-
feffion of the town and fort without refillance ; but
that in a fubfequent engagement with the Spaniards,
he had been defeated and compelled to relinquilh
thofe advantages, and on the igth was at the ifland
of Aruba."

On this fuhjee we have been favoured with the
following mime of a letter from a refpeetable corn
mercial poufs at Curacoa to another in this city,
dated Auguß 18:
" I take the liberty of acquainting you, that we
yeflerday received, by an exprefs from Coro, the cer•
tam news of MILANI/A having landed there three
weeks befoie, with two (hips, two brigs, and (even
!mane:. veffelb : and after a revere engagement with
the Spaniards, has been routed, and had to take to
his (hips. Nobody knows what courfe he afterwards
tout. I mention this for your caution, fhould you
undertake any buGnefs on the Main. I fear the
American Rag will not now be fo well received there
as formerly."-
