province as the French have to occupy the Neapoli-

public till the whole was arranged. The Senate, as
in duty bound, gave their advice to him that he
fhould forthwith be an Emperor, and render the
power hereditary in his family. His maidenith pru-
dery was overcome. The Senate, however, has not
publithed the plan and provifions of the Imperial
Crown of France. Their refolution was daily expelled.

Saturday we received the St. Vincent Papers to
the 24th March inclufive : the publication of that
day Rates, that the fleet which failed from Cork, on
the 4th February, had fallen in with the London
fleet (which failed from Portfmonth, January 2), to
windward of Barbadoes, and had arrived together,
to the number of :80 fail, in Carlifle Bay. One of
the Cork !hips having feparated from the convoy,

Saturday we received the Antigua Papers, to the

the Defendant was found guilty of one of the libels.
This is the only matter of information recorded in
two months papers.
One of the Barbadoes papers which reached us on
Saturday, contains the following article in relation
to the Surinam flop of war :
" A Dutch cartel fchnoner arrived yefterday, 23

other officers of lair blajeliy's late fhip Surinam,
which put in there on the 23d of June lalt, to water.
but was detained by the Dutch Commandant. and
afterwards made prize of. It is with great indigna.
Con we have heard of the inhofpitable and harfli treat-
ment which the officers and whole crew have Coffered

the molt fbocking brutality, in an attempt to take
their lives by firing upon them while under confine.
