WASHINGTON, JULY is.

Sr. Many's, JULY s.—List Sunday the Patriot
force (as 1 %sow you was expected) wok possession
of Amelia island, under Sir Gregor bleGregor, their
commander. Though there were in all about 200
men on board the transport, brig, and schooner (the
body nude that west engaged sin this service), yes

Amelia was taken by the small force of 65 or l'O
men. Their commander landed with this small party
from the brig that had come to anchor between the
points of Cumberland and Amelia, on Amear beach,
immediately opposite to the vessel, from ***lce they
marched to Fernandina, a distance f five or six
miles. Fernandina, the name of the town on Amelia
bland, is defended in front by a fort mounting seven
carriage guns, six of them long eighteens, and by
two block-buses in the rear, which comm.ind the
only way by which an enemy can approach ; and
when it was taken, there were at least VI men in tl e
place under arms. The Patriots' party were obliged
to cross a creek, in which every man was up to his
waist in mud, and which was immediately under the
fire of the block-houses. Though they might have
been cut all to pieces, yet not a single gun was fir d.
Such was the panic of the people wi,trin the town,
they did not even discharge their guns before the)
surrendered. 1 have been down to Amelia to view
the new order of thinps, that place being only nine
miles from St. Mary's, where I had the pleasure of
seeing General Sir Gregor M'Gr. egor. He appears
to be about 35 years of age ; his height is about live
feet eight inches, and he is somewhat inclined to cor.
pulency. His appearance is such, that to meet him
even in ordinary life, with ordinary persona, one
would still fancy there was something uncommon
about him. A flag has been hoisted for Florida, the
field of which is white with a blue cross. It is gene-
rally supposed that, as soon as a sufficient force is
collected, they will march to St. Aligus,ine, from
whence, if they are successful, which is extremely
dountful, they will immediately enter West Florida.
The inhabitants of the adjacent province, at pre-
sent, are generally not favourable to the new order of
things Oaving been surfeited with revolutions), more
pirticuiarly as almost every person is attached to the
Governor of St. Augustine, whose character cannot
be extolled too highly. There appear to be about
49 young men attached to this expedition as officers,
or who expect to be made officers. Sir G. M4Gregor
states himself in his proclamations a Brigadier-Gene.

ties in South America.
NEW ORLEANS, JUNE eS.
We hear that the plague has now reached the
bland of Cuba, and Havannah its capital, where,
from the time of year, the number of inhabitants,
and detective police of that city, its ravages we fear
will be frightful indeed.
SAVANNAH, JULY 16.
General *Gregor has pledged the honour of a
sokier, that no tugitive (negro) shall find an asylum

BRUSSELS, AUGUST Ps.
His Majesty the King of Prussia, travelling under
the title of Count Ruppin, is expected shortly in this
city, coming from Paris. This Monarch, after a
short stay at Brussels, will return to his dominions,
taking the road of Aix-la-Chapelle and Cologne.
1 A pretty considerable number of Officers, on half•
pay, have just been placed in active service.
Yesterday there arrived Major-Geeeral Blackford,
in the service of his Britannic Majesty, from Paris ;
Colonel Wood, Commander-in-Chief of the English
Artillery is France. from Cambray, and several
'other Officers of the English Staff. •
Avouirr 24.—The sound of all the bells, and els-
charges of artillery, announced to-day the anniver-
sary of the birth of our august Sovereign. His Ma-
jesty received, in his Palace, the compliments of the
persons who had the honour of being presented to him.
The troops of the garrison, of all arms. drawn up in
grand parade on the Place Royale, drew general at-
tention by their fine appearance and the precision of
their manoeuvres.

A MUST 2.l.—The finest weather favoured the ce-
lebration of his Majesty's birth-day yesterday. In
the evening their Majesties went curly to the Theatre-
Royal, where they were received with transport.--
The Prince and the Princess of Orange came in soon
after, when the acclamations were renewed.

in the King's box there was, besides the Royal
•Family, his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, and
the Infant of Spain (Count Moratalla).
Count It. de St. Jean d'Angely •is gone to Koe•
nigsberg. The event which has occurred to his wile
has made him return from America.

Letters from Vienna say, that a negotiation is
spoken of between the Austrian Government and the
Kingdom of the Netherlands, the object of which ik
to charge the latter with the pensions of all the Bel-
gian Emigrants, who have followed with equal on-
Istancy and devotedness the cause of Austria amidst
the misfortunes of war, and who, since the year 1791,
' have forsaken their country. It is well known that
these pensions, the whole value of which does not
exceed 80,000 florins, are paid only to persons alto
reside in the Austrian States. By means of these
new arrangements, our countrymen, who have fled
to a foreign land, would return to their country,
after having !opt, it is true, their fortunes and em-
ployments, by a fidelity very rare in the times we
live in ; but they would at least have the consolation
of terminating their career in the land of their nail.
