Soofoo, after a narrow efcape of being taken by
pirates. Three weeks before fhe arrived at Madras
flue was chaced for two days by a fleet of prows,
full of men being in with *he land, the prows could
not get the fea breeze in time to enable them to
come up with the Margaret.

His Majefly's Chip la SENSIBLE, Capt. &tom

find about twenty miles to the fouthward of the
Ifland of Ceylon. The accident happened on the
3d-ot March, in the morning. The whole of the
crew were landed in fafcty, notwithßanding there
was a tremendous furf bearing on the fhore.—
Great hopes are entertained of Paving a part of

32 guns.
A letter from Trincomalee, dated the 24th of
April, fay,—" This day the TRINCOMALEE {loop
of war arrived from Cokelay, with the Officers
and crew of his Majefty's Chip la SENSIBLE, and
the Rores faved from th 7 wreck of that frigate.
As there are now in this port five C4ptains and
Commanders of the Royal Navy, it is expected that
the Court Martial on the Captain and Chip's com-
pany of la SENSIBLE will be held immediately."
The {hip William and Ann, Capt. HINGSTON,
is fafely arrived at Madras from Rangoon, whence
the failed towards the end of March hit ; previous

Wednefday, as a Gentleman was riding th.rough
Sommers Town, on horfeback, the horfe threw
him, and being frightened, ran a confiderable
tance with the rider's foot entangled in the ftirrup,
by which accident his leg was broken, and his
!boulder diflocated.

On Wednefday night, betweenleven and eight
o'clock, a girl of about thirteen years of age was
run over by a hackney coach, in Duke ftreet, Man-
chefter-fquare, and had one of her legs dreadfully
fraeured above the ancle. She was carried to
Surgeon DAYis's. in Grofvenor-fquarc, who very
humanely fet it, and had proper care taken of her.
—We are happy to learn that the number of the
coach was taken by a Gentleman palling at the
time.

On Monday evening Taft, a chaife, in which were
two Gentlemen, coming over Epping Foreft, was
robbed of a trunk of very confiderable value, with
which they got clear off. In it were contained 6o
guineas. 35 half guineas, and 16 feven Chilling
pieces in gold ; 81. in filver ; in Bank notes 25 of
11. each, 23 of 21. each, and three of 51. eath ;
together with a very large quantity of gilt articles,
fuck as patterns of watch-chains, feals, rings, neck -
laces, ear-rings, &c. on cards. .
Laft Saturday night the officesof Meffrs-Brockle-
banks and Co. at Branfty-Rope-walk, Whitehaven,
were broken itito by fontevillainsnot yet difcovered.
The fame night an attempt had been made on the
warehonfe of Mars. Hornby, Bell. and Birley,
in Dute-ftreet. The efforts they had made to aid
an entrance, muff have taken up a confiderable
(pace of time; but the intention of the rafcals was
completely defeated, from the doors and windows
being particularly well fortified with iron bars and
bolts. A greater inflance of perfeverance has,
however, feldom been noticed in any limiter at-
tack.—Both houfes have offered rewards for dif-
covering the offenders, and hopes are entertained
that they will be brought to jam,

The Neu, York Papers were received.yellerday up
to the loth of November. By them we learn with
pleafure, that the hidings of health are returning
to the chores of thofe fo feverely aflliacd States.
In fume principal towns, whore the difeafe ravaged
with uncommon fury, no cafe had occurred for
more than a fortnight.
The laft accounts given in thefe papers, relative
to St. Domingo, is the following
46 The inhabitants of this unhappy ifland are
loaded with taxes; they have juft been taxed t9.i
millions of livres, under pretence that thefe diffe
rent duties are for the maintenance of the army,
charged with re-eflablifhing order in St. Domingo.
66 The commodities, goods, or animals of every
perfon whatfoever, are put into requifition ; and
when payment is afked for them, the owner is
laughed at, and treated with every indignity.
The very inhabitants, who are overloaded
with fuch enormous taxes, are forced to go upon
guard fifteen times a month ; often to go out of the
city to fight in the mountains, where they are
fent to be murdered by the rtbdlious Negroes.
" Every body privately complains of the defpo-
tifm of the Commanders, and cf the gener..l op-
prcifion, but, alas! no one dares to raife hit vaice,
and only laments his doom in filence.
6‘ This, in a few words, is our deplorable fitua-
tion, nineteen out of twenty of the colony would
gladly leave it. Far from having any chance to
better our fit nation we are but too much con•
vinced that they only want to take from us the
little left us by the Negroes."
Letters by the Nautilus, arrived at Baltimore
from Port Republicain, reprefent the ifland to be
in the molt deplorable (late. The Blacks continue
their ravages, and are .Uccefsful in almofl every
adtion with the White Troops ; they are well fup•
plied With arms and ammunition. They have taken
VArcahaye, and furround and menace Port Re.
publicain, which it was fuppofed they could make
an eafy cowl& of, were they acq'iainted with the
weaknefs of the place, and the difinay of their op-
ponents. Three hundred women and children, and
a few men, had arrived at that place from L'Ar-
cahaye, but not an Officer had efcaped death, and
feveral boats, overcrowded with fugitive,Wom.n
and children, had funk.
BovoN, Nov. 22 —Captain APPLETON* who
arrived here yeflerday, in the brig Polly, 35 days
from Cape Francois, has furnifhed us with the
following diareffing intelligence from that ill fated
colony. He ilates, that Port de P. 112 had been
burnt and pillaged by the blacks, and many of the
white inhabitants murdered ; that Aux Cayes was
clofely befieged, and it was expeatd mull (hire
the fame fate ; that a revere aaion was fought on
the t4th Oaober, at a fhort diaance from the
Cape, in which the blacks were victorious. On
the fame occafion a fort was taken jua without the
town, the artillery taken out, and the magazine
blown up ; that on the evening previous to this
engagement, a black General with 1500 men tie-
fated LECLERC'S army, and joined his former
companions in arms, and that it was expected
CHRISTOPHE would follow the fame example;—
that the force of the blacks was upwards of fifteen
thoufand, and that the at my of Ltc LERc had been
reduced by lots and ficknefs to aot) : that the
French General, who was then without the Cape,
with his whole force, fearing his ability to protea
the town, had fent orders for the lick and wound.
ed to be removed from thence, and given :perm&
Pion for the women and children to depart ; that
all the valuable effens of the army, and of the
citizens, were removing on board the fleet, and
that the city was in hourly expectation of being
befieged. Bufinefs of every, kind was ftifpended,
and the inhabitants were in the utmoft terror and
confternation. The aaing American Cnnful, Mr.
Bunce, had embarked on board a veffel bound to
Portfmouth ; the American (hipping were embar-
goed, and ordered off the Bar, and the French
!hips of war placed in a flotation to annoy the
befiegers. A number of Americans, who volun-
teered their fervices, and others compelled to ferve,
were in the anion of the 14. th, of which feveral
were killed and wounded. To this account Capt.
Arvitrott adds, that a few hours previous to his
failing, he was informed by the Proprietor of the
American Coffee Houfe, of a report being in cit.-
culation,that an armillice had taken place between
LECLERC and the black General in Chief, which
ftipulated that the French troops fhould leave the
ifland within three days.
An article from Lexington of the 26th of
,Oetober, fays that accounts as late as the t 7th of
September, Rate that the pit of New Orleans, in
Louifiana, was (hut up ; whether this order was
given by the Spaniards or by the French, was a
matter of uncertainty.—Bqflon Gazette.
NEW-YORIE, OCT. 30.—On Tuefday night haft,
a copper-bottomed Bermudan fchonner, from An-
tigua, was loft on the point of Sandy Hcok. Her
upper-works have fince par ted from the lower, and
her cargo, confining of rum and fugar, has been

JOIUsIOROUGH, (nail SEPT. 20.—We learn
'by a Gentleman from aryville, that about the
beginning of the prefent month, two Indians went
to the houfe of Mr. Barefoot Runner, of Sevier
County, they were brothers ; one being intoxicated
went to ffeep, the other in good humour got to

peatedly thrown, waked up his brother and wished
him to wreftlei who with fome reludance com-
plied. Mr. Runner accidently threw him on a
chair—he died next day. Mr. Runner was ap-
prehended, and after examination difcharged.—
, A few days after, the furviving brother, with four
other Indians, way-laid the pafs from Mr. Run-
ner's to his fields, intending to kill him. His fon,
a young man, happening to be a few paces before
him, the Indians were apprehenfive he,would
cover them, and probably make his efcape, as
