gg The squadron of Petion continues in Cape N;-
chola Mole, where Christophe continues to blockade
them. It has no effect, for the other party can escape
whenever they please. The besieged seem determin-
ed to hold out till the last ; and they have now plenty
of provisions, their squadron having brought in a sup-
ply for six months. This place is immensely strong,
Ibut it did not appear so from the harbour ; for though
Christophe has possession of all the heights, on one
side, of a deep ravine, which is a strong barrier, and
can send shot and shells into the town, and do some
mischief, still he cannot materially injure the besieg.
ed ; and it is said that they set him at defiance. To
shew you what a decided character Christophe is,',
and what examples he makes :—a few days ago, he
beheaded a Colonel, and decimated the whole regi-

netted. This was done in consequence of an action
a short time before with the besieged, in which this
regiment did not behave well."-

Mr. PINKNEY received dispatches yesterday by the
Hornet, which left New York on the 3d of last
month. From an Officer on board we learn, that the
affair between the Moselle and the Vixen had excited I
a strong sensation in the United States, when first the
news was. received ; but the irritation which was pro-
duced from the recollection of the Chesapeak business
on a more deliberate attention to the subject, had sub-
sided, and it was hoped, that the apology of the Bri;
tish Commander would be considered as sufficient.—'
The same Officer states, that some late conciliating
proposals of the French Minister at Washington, had
produced an impression favourable to the purposes of
France.—The Hornet brought over another Messen-
ger for General ARMSTRONG, who immediately proceeded
for Paris.
