Letters from Amfterdam, received by the laft
Hamburgh Mail, mention a report, on the authority
of private letters from Paris, of General RocHaM-
ssau, in confequence of his inability to relit any
longer the continued atraults of the Negroes, having
furrendered the whole of the naval and military
forces at Sc. Domingo to the Iltitilb Adiniral, com-
manding on the Jamaica Ration.
The' channel by which this intelligence was re.
ceived appeared fu circuitous, that but little credit
was attached to it. It has however been in fume
degree corroborated by accounts which have reached
us this morning. The American brig Mary Louifa,
from Virginia, with tobacco, bound for Havre, but
informed of the blockade of that harbour by
Iris. (hip Tm vainsata, has arrived at
Falmouth. Seven French paffengers, lately mer-
chants in St. Domingo, were ott board this veffel.—
They report, that the Bland was nearly evacuated
by 'the French torces, when they left it, and that at
Cape Nichola Mule they were almoll denitute of pro-
vilions, having' hardly any thing to fuball on but
boric fle(b.

A New York Paper. or the precents,
on axis fobj:S, the 1 Vowing paragraph :—Captain
BROWN, of the fchooner Farmers !Might, arrived at
Philadelphia from Grenada, flues, that the day before
tht mail arrived from Bar hadnes, brooght
on.aceounz. that the French fleet from St. 1,), mingo,
v ith CC11:1;11 R,'erIAM7EAu on heard, was taken.—
Istacinigne and Griadalraire were laid to be block-
aded. • The Engl.lll had made an attack on the for-
mir, but were r epolfed.
The jamaica beet is now on the paffage home. In
firm,. of them are al:eady in port. We may,'
therefore, in a day or t expect the truth to be at
cmaineJ rcfpc4ing the zbevc itearAiizeace.

Ott or our truise►s hat arrived at Deal from off
()fiend, btjt it was not ltnown when our letters came
away, whether the 1)0 brought any faraier intelli•
genc6 refpeeting the enSbarkatiori met:tinned force
days 'ago to have been•tn a Rate of great forwardricfs
in that port.

On the reported mediation of Ruffia, the Hamlursh
Cirrv;oondenter: of the 7th October has the following
paragraph :
'"'it is now known, that the new propofition; for
Peace which were made in London by the Est PERO&
of RUSSIA and the FIRST CONSUL, at the tame time,
have not been accepted by the King of England, as
an armifliee was propfed."
An arnriflice! Hnw could this country agree to any
proinfal of the kind. Indeed, 'in the prflint.fitaation
of %fairs, it is importable lot our Government to
enter into any negotiation. Fran& has threat-
ened to dietate to Britain, in London itfill; the
terms of peace ; and is now bufy in preparing the
means for fending over our limp Le:Adam—While
there preparations continue, it would be difgrace
ful to this country, to Mien to any propofals for
a treaty or an armillke: It 'would be telling the
enemy " run threats of invation have (truck us with
fo much terror, that we are glad to Wien to your
proporal !" No. The Corfican has threate.ied to in-
vade us, and he muff eith-:r abandon his projeet as
openly as he adopted it, or he mull make his boalled
attempt. Till he do the one or the other, it would
be madnels to think, that Min: tiers could Mien to any
propofition that would tend to tufpend the prepara-
tions that have been made for our defence, or leave
it doubtful, whether the threat of the enemy was the
caufe of the war being terminated.—A peace obtain-
ed under fuels ambiguous circumlances, would not
be fecure for a tingle month ; and on any future occa-
fion of a fimilar kind, France would naturally fay, " I
have only to hold out the threat of invafion to Great
Britain, and I am fhre I flrall obtain my own terms."

Let us Phew Box•raara that he cannot invade us ;
or that if he attempts invalion he will experience both
defeat and difgrace, and we may chez.' maks peace
on fuch terms as are fit to be lifiened to by a free and
indeperickent nation jealous of its rights-mod able and
determined to maintain them.
