Saturday morning Mr. Roes's., the Meffmger, ar-
rived at Lord MI:LGSM'S Oflice, w:th difpatches
from Lord G. L. GOWER, at Sr. Peteriburgh. A
report prevailed in she courfe of the day, that he was
the bearer of difpatches of a fatisfadory nature.
Difpatches were received at the Admiralty from
Lord Geamssa on Saturday. A reinforcement of
three flips of the line has, we underhand, been fent
from the Channel Fleet to Lord Nilsson.
„The Cairati and AUDACIOUS, of 74 guns, have
Undergone a complete repair at Plymouth, and are
ordered into commitlion. Captains STEPHINS and
Lawson., are appointed to the refpeflive commands
The Tatiner is, of 74guns, and the Lena frigate,
with a fleet of tranfports, having on board the Bth,
z4th, and itscl regiments, arrived at the Cove of,
Cork on Tuefdatiall. from Portfmouth. The re-
giments in that neighbonihnod, under orders for fo•
reign fervic,/, in the expedition to be commanded by
Sir ETRI COOT!, were expected to bt embarked in
the courfe of laft week.

Intelligence was received in the conrfe of Friday
by Admiral DOUGLAS, that five praanis, 14 fchuyts,
and upwards of so brigs and loggers, were to fail in
the courfe of a day or • two from Dunkirk for Bou •
logne. A light fqtradr on was difpatcbed on the look
out for thein.

The rumour that the combined fquadron, or a
part, are gone to the Brazils, is Itrengthened by tome
accounts brought by the ACTIVI frigate, which fpoke
a Portugueze man of war, and was informed by her
that the had teen the combined fleets, And that they
were gone to the Brazils.

It appears that it was on the 24. th of March the
Rochefort fquadrort failed from Fort Royal, Marti-
nique, on their return to Europe. Previous to their
departure an embargo had been laid for three days
on the fhipping in the ihland.

The Cori Mercantik Chronicle of Monday lift faYs•—•ll
6' An American veld arrived this day from Bolton,
(poke, a few days force, with a Danifh fhip, which
reported, that fiven days previous to their meeting
(about the loth), fhe had fallen in with a fleet of
(hips, colififting of t t fail of the line, off the Weftern
Ifles. This news, which is related by a pallinger of
great refpeaability, has caufed a variety of conjec-
tures ' • but the prevailing opinion is, that they were
Lord Ns Ls ott's fleet, perhaps boundin purfnit of the
enemy for the Weft Indies. The circnmftance of their
being obferved lying to would, however, create a
belief, that if they were his fleet, he had not been
able to procure information of the enemy having pro-
teeded further to the weftward."

We have been favoured with the pernfal of letters
from Prince RUpett's, Dominica, containing a very
particular detail of the, late operations of the French
in that quarter. Moll of the circumftances are al-
ready known. It appears, however, that the regu-
lar troops are entitled to undivided praife for the
brave defence that was made. Thofe aftually en-
gaged were the flank companies of the 46th regiment,
the light company of the Ili Well India regiment,
and the artillery in the forts, which, in all, did not
amount to 150 men. The militia amounting to about
250, met the enemy to the Northward, gave them
one volley, and then marched off. The lois of the
French, by their own acknowledgment, was thirty
officers killed, and 300 men betides wounded. They
could hardly believe that the brave men, by whom
they were oppofed, confined of fuch a (mall number.
Major NUN'', of the la Weft India regiment, is dead
of his wounds: the two Captains are doing duty.—
The French have thrown in tOOO men into the Saints.

We have received American papers to the nth of
April.
The city of St. Domingo was inveßed on the loth
of March, by the army of the Emperor DISSALINIS
—and to clofely were the French hemmed in, that
vele'', either failing from or entering the port, were
ezpofed to the mufquetry of the troops which lined
the (bore. General FERNAND was, according to the
lateft intelligence, determined to perith rather than
fuffer the Blacks to take poffeifion of the place. In
a fpirited addrefs he exhorts his troops to defend the
town to the laft extremity. Having Allred them,
that furrounded on one fide by the brigands, and on
the other fide by the fea, without a tingle weird to
favour their efcape, he tells them they can have no
hope of fafety, but in viaory alone ; and calls upon
them to perilh or conquer.
An intereitino correfpondence has lately taken place
between Mr. 1451tRY, the Britith Milliner, and Mr.
MADDISON, the American Secretary of State, on the
fubjea of impreffing American feamen. Mr. Malmo
contended, that Britith [hips pollefs the right of feiz-
ing native born fubjeBs of Great Britain, notwith-
(landing their naturalization as American Citizens;
while Mr. MADDISON has ftrentoufly contetted his
arguments.
We have mnch pleafure in contradiaing the reports
of che.h.fs of his Majefty's thipsVatic yeti) and Pass-
cESS CHARLOTTS. Captain EV•NS has publifhed in
the American Papers (in which the report of the lots
of the Vanguard originated) a refutation cf that nate-
ment ; and there are letters from the Princefs Char-
lotte, dated the 29th March, 14 days fubfequent to
the time the was Paid to have been wrecked, announc-
ing her fafety.
