A paperpf the 18th of January contains the following
account'of a daring outrage on. the British flag. It
is hardly possible to believe the attack was made by
a ship of war belonging to the United States; pro-1
bably it will turn out to be one of the pirates under
the Insurgent flag Pf S ,trh America :

The Lady Wellington _packet, with the Mails
from England, arrived at Port Royal on the 25ch of
January.—The SALISBURY (Admiral Douotas), and
Pug% were kit at Port Royal. The ACTIVE had
gone to the Hair innah, to demand the money seized
trom the crew of the TAY, when that ship was wreck-
ed in the Gulph of Mexico. The 18th Regiment
has been twelve years on the West India service ;
during which period its loss exceeded 70 officers and
2000 men; but by being constantly recruited, it is
now one thousand strong.
A letter from an Officer at Port Royal, dated
:ianuary '2B, encloses a copy of the correspondence
which has taken place between the Commissioners of
tlie French Government and CHRISTrilit and Ps-
toN, relative to the proposal of restoring the French
p if St. Domingo to that Government The wri-
te!' says—.. I have lately been at St. Domingo, and
salt assure, that, in the Kraig?, part (Cuturrortiesf
there is every appearance ut a well-established Go-
vernment. The troops are well dressed, and behave
very respectfully when in presence t f their Officer;.
This is nut the case in Pennies part of the .stand ;
tits army appears an unsocial ragged rabble; but,
should the French ever attempt hostiltties on my part
"f the island, they will experience a most desperate
rtsistance. The Patriots op the Main are going on
very wells Haviox taken La Guira, they went in
Vusuit of the mutant of the Royal Arroy acting to
ht Caraccas."
