We have received Tome more Dutch Papers and a

down to fo late a date as thole we received the pre-

yefterday from Holland, by the fame conveyance
which brought the Dutch and French Papers; but
they contain nothing of novelty or intereft.

ti "The attempt of Petion againft St. Marc and !
Gonaives, in the months of May and June, having I
totally failed, the infurgents of the fouthern quarter I
undertook another expedition in the month of July.
Petion's flotilla fet out from Port au Prince on thi.
6th July, under the orders of Admiral Panayoti, and I
arrived on the 9th before Port de Paix, 24 leagues
from the Cape. It contained tOOO men, under the I
command of General Lamarre. The underltanding
which Petion had previoufly ellablifhed with the Mu-
lattoes in this quarter, procured him a few recruits
at firtl.

" The Prefident, Henry Chriflophe, let out froth
the Cape on the t4.th July, with near:to,ooo men ;
on the 17th, he put the infurgents completely to the
rout. After feveral attacks, the town of Port de Paix
and the forts were taken by alllmlt by the Prefident's
troops ; the infurgents were afterwards driven from
all their pofitions, furrounded, and compelled to lay
down their arms on the 26th. A (mall number
efcaped to the flotilla from which they had landed.
General Chrillophe having pardoned and granted
quarterto the principal part of the infurgents, returned
to the Cape on the 28th July.
" At the time that this attack was made upon
Port de Paix, another expedition by land was un-
dertaken from Port au Prince againft St. Marc, under
the orders of Petion hinafelf. At a review of the
troops of the town of Port au P. ince, the black Ge-
neral Yaou, third in command under Petion, but
who was in the interelt of Chriflophe, attempted to
harangue Petion's troops, for the purpofe of inducing
them to engage in the plan be had formed of joining,
with 3octo wren, Chriftophe's trorps, who were en•
camped on the heights. within five leagues of Port au
Prince, and of delivering up to them both the town
and Petion. This pl,l having failed, General Yaou
had barely time to efc.tpe by going oil at full (peed
with his Officers and Aides de Carnp. He went to
Jacmel, where General Anthroife Nlagloire, who was
fecretly in the imeretts of Chritlophe, c•.mmanded.
They continued to delude Petion route time by a
propofal of an amnefty. While the negotiation thus
dragged along at Leogane, the news of the ill hiccefs
of the expechti•m of Port de Pais decided Ambroife
Magloire and Yaou to throw off the mark. They
were encamped, in the month of Auguft, with their
corps at Jacmel and Leugane, where they held the
troops rf Port au Pa i.,ce in check.

e, The Pretident, Claiilophe, having made, in the
month of Augull, the mull formidable preparations,
let out on the 3d September, at the head of 23,c00
men, to give the finning Itroke to this revolt. There
was every probability, that every thing would be
fettled in Thy comic of that month ; and Petion, with
fcme twenty of his adherent,, may be expelled to
arrive in England in lime Britilh veffels, which were
to fail on the tit of Ol!ober."

Vefferday the Lnan MAYOR held a Wardmote at
the church of St. Mary le Bnw, Cheaptide, for the

Sheriff SMITH was declared duly eleeted.

Thurfday a Court Martial was held at Portforouth
on William Cronenburg, landman belonging to the

of war; the former refpeaing uncleanlinels, &c. and
the latter a deteßable crime, not fit to be mentioned.
The Court having heard what the prifoner had to
offer in his defence, and having maturely confidered
