PHILADeLPHIA, MAY 4.—Yetterday arrived the
Aftive, Captain VARNON, thirty days from Porto
Civello. Sailed (Aim thence the 13th ulr. at which
time the alarm was ftibfiding, as no attempt bad

MAY 20.—Yellerday arrived the (hip Speedwell,
Captain \VILLt, from La Guira (in the Spann Ca-

forms us, that a' the above date there were no ac.
counts of the arrival of tiltaaritia on any part of the
Spnifh Main,althdbgh by intelligence received there
they were in daily expectation of his appearance, and
the Spani(h Government was on the alert, having
prepared all the troops (about two thoufand regulars
and thirty thoufand militia) that could be railed
to *wok him. That the various accounts of infur-
rellions in that country were, as he believes, erro-

with the.' tudh fiigate Mermaid, Captain Hozzas,

E.rnae or HAYTL—We learn from a GentleiWri
who arrived in this city a day or two ago from Saint
Domingo, that, at the time of his departure, there
were very eneral movements among the fubjefts of
the Black Emperor DESSALIIIIF. What was the ac-
tual canto he did not underhand ;but it was Paid that
Come advice. had been received by way of Jamaica,
which taught the Blacks romped a fpeedy attack.—
The confequence of thee advices was, that Dacia-
muss was putting the Black atmy into an alive or•
ganifation for war. All the money, valuable pro-
perty, and good, were removed to the mountainous
country in the interior, and all the White inhabi-
tants were ordered to venture from the lea coati.—
During the recent celebration of Tome Fete, a Fren:h
family (White) had made its efcape from the Cape ;
but being loon after miffed by General CHMTO2I4,
he attributed the ciecumnance to the connivance of
Come Americans, and ordered the Commanders and
Crews of all the American reffels at the Cape to
bt
feized and confined, threatening to hang or (hoot'
them all. Upon an inveniglrinn, however, the inno-
cence of the Americans was afeertained, and they
were (et at liberty.
A Gentleman of this city is raid to be Dessatrale
agent. It was mentioned at the Cape by perfons
Who had intercourfe with the Black Court, that
Mummies had purchafed an ellate in Penn(ylva
111.1. near Philadelphia, as a retreat in the event of an
' Imperial toulverfinotat
130STDD. MAY zo.---Aeconnts from Porto Cavello
to April r 3, and from La Guira to April 23, furnifh
nn information of the arrival of Mr at the Ca-
Lucas ; nor of an infuriation there. Thefe accounts
tender the late reports improbable.
MAT 22.—More Brit outraget.—Another daring
earrage upon the independence and fovereignty of
this country, has been committed by his " Sacred
Majefty's" frigate the Cleopatra, who boarded one
fif our regular trading (hips, the Eliza,-Platy, maf.
ter, from Londonderry, within two leagues of the
land, in four fathoms water, and after a pilot had
been received on board, and violently carried off one
American citizen, fourteen men paffengers coming
to 'elide iu this country, one woman (wife to one of
the impre(kd), and an apprentice boy.
This " damning deed" was done on Sunday eve-
ning lan, attended with all the infoleoce and cruelty
with which "his Majdly's people" are wont to ho-
nour us rars;i,t ; and the Lieutenant, to give an um
doubted proof of his courage, feverely wounded with
his (word a young man who attempted to fecrcte him-
fell from the outrage.
Many of the paffengers poffelted confiderable pro-
perty on board the Eliza ; they were dragged off
without being permitted to make any arrangement
for the prefervation thereof for their children or re-
latives, without aay clothing, Cave what happened to
4e on them
The Cleopatra, we are informed, proceeded for
Nnalolk to take in provition. and water. We hope
the citizens of that place will evince the fame patri-
c,tifm and fpirit as thole of New York have done, and
deny the mats healers" the riAts of holpitality.

MAY 23 Very itetcrtant, if true.—AirXANDRIA,
sa, 23 —We give the following as a report, with-
- meaning to authenticate it. Indeed we know
at how it originated—but it is raid that as the Unit-
ed States frigate Files was retaining home, file met
with an Eighth hoop of war, arid after making a
variety of signals, none of which were anfwered, the
Briton friddeirly tired a brond.ide into her, which be-
ing returned by the American, the other went in•
Sandy to the bottom. It is frippoled the Coop mil%
'rook the frigate for .01 Irt;ianian,und by this mama-
are expected to capture her.
