KINGSTON, (JAMAICA) MAY ts.

But little news, worth relating, has tranfpired
(ince my laft to you, by the Jupiter, of Briftol.

. -
Our crops of Sugar promife the greatcfl abun-
dance. Nor does our Coffee and Cotton fail ; but
the immenfe quadtity of Coffee, row imported
from the free ports of St. Domingo, would give
cargoes to thirty more fail of !hipping, it' we had
them.

We have no more fear of any attack from Hif-
paniola; and from good authority we know, that
General TOUSAINT La uveityuts !has declared moll
pofitively, that he is determined not to fuffer any
flrong naval force, belonging to the French Re-
public, to enter his harbours.
The laft accounts we received, relative to this
Governor General, Rate, his having arrived at
Cape Francois the t indant, from the city of St.
Domingo, after having organized and Farri.
foned, with Black Troops, all that part of the iftand
which originally belonged to the Spaniards.
Several engineers are now employed by him, in
fortifying the different ports, at the call end of the
;Rand ; and at Port Plata, they have thrown up a
long range of battery, and mounted all the guns
of the Engin frigate TARTAR, wrecked there in
1795.
Naval intelligence has become more dull here
than formerly, as the prizes do not come in ciu to fo
frequently as they ufed to do. The only ones
worth mentioning have been captured by the fri-
gates ACAS ro, Avoi.i.o, and the BOURDILAI s.
Accounts received this morning, from Porte, Ri-
co, Rate, that the Marine frigate' Capt. Manost
has made a valuable capture off that Wand.
The fame letter informs us, that la BOURDELAIS
frigate, Captain THOMAS MANDY, on the 4th intl.
futlained a long and gallant aetion with two forts,
of great force, under which a Spanilh Chip of :o
guns had run for protalion. The veffel and bat-
teries were demolifhed by la BOURDELAIS, but
not until the had fuffered very confiderably, hav-
ing all her malts, yards, and fails fhot to pieces.—
Happily, not a man on board received the fmalleft
injury., She has been abfent now fourteen weeks,
which makes us look for her arrival widi momen-
tary expedation.
The crew of the Lic ERE hoop of war are nearly
all arrived from Carthagena, and we are happy to
find that the Spaniards treated them with huma-
nity and attention,on theirlanding from thipwreck.

Admiral Pots, with the remainder of the Baltic
fleet, confining of twelve fhips of the Line, and a
proportionate number of frigate' and other force,
has failed round by the North to prom& Ireland,
or to reinforce the fleet off Breit harbour.

Accouts are received from Admiral Pots, the
Commander of the Briti(h fleet in the Baltic, that
permitton had been folicited for Tome Danilh (hips
to proceed to Copenhagen for repairs, with which
requett he had complied.
His Majetty's hips GLATTON and ARDENT arc
ordered to be fitted for floating batteries.
His Majefty's 'hips POLYPHEMUS and DART
lately pallid throu,qh the Great Bell in the Baltic,
in orderesadly toarcertain the (late of that patrage.
Letters have lately been received from Surat,
flatingthatMr.BADCOCx,thechiefofficerofthe fnow
FRIINDIHIP, Captain NAfIER, for which the molt
alarming apprehcnflor.s have exifted for a confi-
derable time, arrived fife with that veffel at Muf-
cat, on the Bth of February. It appears, that the
parted the belt bower cable in Cochin Roads, on
the la of January, and ttood out to lea in a moll
dreadful tempett, and was driven lo far booth ward
of the port, as to be unable to regain it. All her
mails were cut away, and everything thrown over-
board to lighten the veffel ; and bad the not pro-
videntially reached Mufcat on the above day, un-
der jury malls, every foul on board mutt have pe-
rithed through 'hunger and want of water.
The following account has been received by the
late difpatch from Madras, in a letter dated the
ith of February : Captain OSIORNI, of his Ma-
jetty's fhip ARROGANT, having received intelli-
gence that a fhip with a valuable cargo was at Ja-
pars, (a fea port in the ifland of Java), proceed.
ed to that road, where fhe arrived on the la of
December; but the fhoal water not permitting the
ARROGANT to go in, (he was cut out by the boats
and proved to be the Undernuning, a (hip of from
aoo to Soo tons burthen, built at -Liverpool, Well
found, and a prime bailer.
