passage was inserted—" That the truth is not to be
told to the Russian People, but that they are to be
deceived by lies." This appears to have been the
policy of Alex seine, or his Councils, since the

papers to the 11th alt. brought by the abo►e Mail :
! KINGSTON, AVG. 7.—By the Minorco, from Car.

quarter are losing ground fast, and haws been re..

Auo. B.—The Variable brig, of 12 guns, arrived
on Sunday. On the 26th ult. she fell in with and
' captured the American ship Resolution, of Philadel-
phia, bound to the Havannah, and laden with a
• cargo of flour and rice. On the 30th, in the Crooked
Island passage, the Variable spoke the Rhodian
brig, which had touched at Cape Francois, where
!an American schooner had arrived from Philadelphia,
with information of war having been declared against
Great Britain, and that fourteen privateers had
sailed down the Delaware to cruise against British
vessels. Between Cape Maize and the Navassa, the
Variable chased three privateers; the first she fell
in with on the 30th ult. the second on the 31st, said
the third on the Ist inst. all of which escaped by
calms, aided by the darkness of the nights.
A French privateer was brought into Po• t Royal
!this morning. This vessel was taken about a month
' ay.., by the Cyane frigate, and carried into Curacoa ;
[she was then sent down with an officer and ten men,
but was captured on Thursday last, of Cape Tibu.
ion, by an American privateer schooner, of one
jan and 30 men. The officers of the latter made use
llof every persuasion to induce our tars to join their
colours, which they manfully resisted, and finding
their endeavours to subvert their allegiance ineffec-,
tual, they gave her up, after taking some sails front I
her, and cutting away her main-boom. The priva-i
teer had captured the brig Caledonia, which sailed on ,
the 10th ult. from this port, hound to Trinidad de
Cuba, and ordered her for Charleston. The name I
of the privateer is La Sirene; she mounts four guns,
and had on hoard 60 men when fallen in with by the!
Cyane. The capture took place on the 6th ult. after I
a long chace ; when the enemy, finding that they
would be taken, ran•her ashore on the coast of St.
Domingo, from whence she was cut nut by the boats
of the Cyane. The crew of La Sirene concealed
themselves among the bushes, and, as the boats ad.
minced, they gave them a volley of musketry, which
amfortunately killed the master and one seamao.
The American ship Enterprise, arrived at the Ht.!
eannah, was fallen in with not long before by the
Sappho brig, Captain O'Ga.tov, who sent en board
her, and was astonished to find that she was coat.
pletely equipped in every respect, and ready for aced
tion. At this time Captain O'G. was unacquainted
with the declaration of war against Great Britain by
the United States, and felt considerable surprise at,
the warlike state of the ship, lint was unable to learn ,
the reason, as the Yankees were particularly studious
in not suffering a syllable to transpire respecting the
subject. She was, therefore, allowed to proceod ;
and Captain O'G. had the subsequent mortification
to fall in with other. American vessels, all of which
were also allowed to depart, as it was not until he
arrived at Pert Royal that he was apprised of the
war.

In spite of all the wa.chfultiess of our men of
war, merchantmen from France have frequently nr.
rived of late in the ports of the United States. The
day the Bramble schooner reached iQ`eµ• York, with
dispatches for Mr. Forma, two French brigs went

silks, from Bourdeauz and Nantz.
