They drew up in line to receive the Bridal, the Grey-

action of forty minutes. the Pallas (truck her colours,
and the large (hips followed her example ; but the
cot vette being to windward, and having very little
(hare in the action, made fail towards the &ore
and efcaped. The Harrier immediately pie chace,
but the enemy being able to carry more tail (her rig
ging being uninjured) Captain Elphintione made
fignal to recal her.

NEW-YORK. FEB s.
The fchooner Ann arrived at Newcadle in 3o days,
from Port au-Prince, dates, that a civil war was raging
when fhe failed, in the neighbourhood of that place,
between the adherents of Chriflophe and Perion.
FEB. 6.—The accounts from Hayti are fomewhat
coot radidory
Captain Harris, who arrived on Wednefday from
Port-de.Paix, lays, a bloody battle was fought be-
tween the troops under the command of General
Chridophe and Petion, about the IR of January, near
Port-au•Prince.--Chridophe was victorious. Pction
had armed feveral veffels, and had Itormed a fmall
place between Gonaives and Port de-Pais, and was
daily expeded at the latter place.
The Baltimore Gazette received by yelierday's
Mail, gives the following as received by a Gentleman
from St. Thomas.

On the sth of December 1806, General Chriftophe
appeared on the fkirts of Port-au-Prince, with an
army of about to,ooo men, to compel the body of
the people, affembled together, to frame a Conflitution
—to appoint him Emperor of Hayti. On his arrival
there, he fent a flag of truce, and defired to have a
conference with General Pichon, Commander at
Port au-Prince, who went out to meet him with
what foldiers he had ; but inflead of a conference, as
loon as Pichon came within gun-fhot of him, his
men were fired on by Chriftophe, when a fhort en-
gagement enfued, in which there were fome officers
and men killed on both fides. Pichon got into Port-
au-Prince, and kept Cht illophe from committing any
material depredations on the town. As his army was
but few in number, he thought it mat advifable to
a& only on the deferdive, and not purfue Chriflopht,
after having driven his troops out of the town.
Difpatches were immediately fent by Pichon to all
parts of the South, where they have dominions, for
troops, arms, ammunition, and provifions arid on
the day following, there was not a mule to be found,
or fcarce a man that could bear anus, in the town
of Jacmel—all had repaired to Port-au Prince, to
join Pichon's army, carrying el i,h them provilions
and ammunition for the occafion. Several flcirmithes
t0.,1c place in the cootie of eigh: or ten days—during
which time Chriftophe's army was within two or
three milts of Pot t.au-Pr ince, and had feveral times
entered it, but were as often repulfed.
On the loth of January news was received at Jac.
mel that Chriftophe had been defeated, and that the
greater part of his foldiers revolted, and joined the
other fide ; that he fled for his life, and Pichon's ar-
my were in purfuit of him, and no doubt prevailed,
but they would overtake him ; in which cafe, death
would inevitably be his lot, as they were determined
to behead him, and eftablifh a federal or republican
government.
On the night of the loth of January, Jacmel was
illuminated on the occafion.

Fstl. 14.—A Meffage from the Prefident was de-
livered to Congrefs, on Tuefday lafl, containing ex
trans from a letter by Cowles Mead, ailing Gover-
nor of the MillifEppi territory, to the Secretary of
War. Mr. Mead lays, that Mr. Burr ff2s at the
Mouth of &yew Pierre, about 45 miles above Nat-
chez, defcending the river. That he had received a
letter from him, containing affurances, that his ob-
jea was nothing injurious to the integrity of the
Union, tor did he purpofe to violate the Spaaifh ter-
ritory. His letter alto contained hints of the impro-
priety of refilling him, and the danger of a civil war.
Mr. Mead mentions, that •the day before receiving
this letter, he had iffued orders for Buir's arrell, and
wetted in a few days to have " this troublefome
man" in his poffdlion.
Captain Main, from Bourbon, informs that on the
' r ith November, the Blitrfh man of war Sceptre and
frigate Cornwallis, appeared off that place.—The
French frigate Semillante, lying in the Itgatla, im-

mediately gave orders to all the merchant Mips, t„i
flip their cables, ane haul dole to the beach, As the
Britifh commenced a heavy fire upon the frigateknj
town, which 'ailed for about 2o minutes, and then
flood off—the fame night, _the Arfturus was taken
in,ifelGon of by tl:e French, and no perfnn left eft
board but Lafcars, but was given up the next dlr.
Another attack from the Britifh fhips was hotter
expelied.
The Philadelphia Papers (late that city to be 4.
fefled with incendiaries, who have made, stithin the
!aft ten days, fermi unfuccefsful attempts to fet
on fire.

BOSTON. FEB. 53.
All accounts from Hayti concur in Bating, that
there has been hard fighting between Chriftophe
Pichon. Some give the vidory to one, others to the
other.—One account lays, that in the eleetioa of Pre.
fident, Chriltophe had 6o out of 75 votes; n
(landing which, Pichon oppofed his pretenfions....
Bufineft was at a fland—afTaffinations, plundersotte.
frequent—and the plantations negleEled. General
Ferrand, in the city of Si. Domingo, had informa.
tion cf thefe diforders, and was making preparations
to profit by them.

PARIS, MARCH so.

We are now affured, that the Ruffians hare de-
manded an armillice, which the Emperor Napoleon 1
refuted. Whether this news be cones, we cannot
nor dare not determine. It is much to be willies(
that its authenticity was without difptre, as this
would at once be a proof of the enemy's weaknefs.
and of our own lirength. We may, however, jullly
infer from the Emperor's defire of peace, fo frequently
and fo folemnly expreffed, that he would agree to a
negotiation, perhaps, under the mediation of Außria,
but by no means to an illufive and tedious armiflice;
and that during the interval of negociat ion, he would
profeente the war with vigour, to cnfure the fpcedy
conclurtnn of a permanent peter.
The Englilh brig, the Czar, is loft on the cod of
La Gironde. Shr carried IS guns, and 150 men,
not more than 40 of whom could be fa►ed.
