Extract of a letter, dated Birbedoes, Feb. 6.
--‘e We are sorry to find that the diminotiou of
' the garrison of Martinique, for the purposes of
the Expedition against Guadoloupe, has awaken-
ed a spirit of revolt among the prisoners of war

and spreading a general insurrection ; but 'Gene.

irttikStk, MARSH 3.—The Rossi;
has been transferred by Russia to F
of four ships of the line, and some frigates
Arvettes. A part is here, rind the other part at
Venice. The Russian crewi have already set out
to return home, and the French have taken pos-
session of the ships. It is tot to be imagined how
much the merchants of Trieste are delighted with
this occurrence, as they have the greatest confi.
dente in the courage of the French, and are con-
vinced that our ooast and sea will now be perfect.
ly safe from any attack of the enemy. The small
island of Lissa, on the coast of Dalmatia, is the
only point which the English have now in their
power. But we want neither wine, corn, nor
provisions, of which we receive •abundance ; and
the English see with regret, that if they can in.
terrupt trade) they cannot deprive us of either
'of the others.

these officers concluded articles of capitulation,
precisely in conformity to your Excellency's ie.
structions, and varying very little (if at all) from
those of Guadeloupe. It was stipulated in this • n
stipulation, that it should be ratified by the Go.
vernor, at the latest by five o'clock in the same at,
ternoon, and that the principal forts of the enemy
should be taken possession of immediately no the •
ratitieation—somewhat previous to which, Isowe,
;vex, the Dutch Commissioners returned, and so
earnestly ' implored an extension of time, until
eight o'clock in the morning of the 16!h, plotting
their honour, that whatever might be the de:
cision of the Govruor, in regard to ratifying site
capitulation, lie would at all events give us poste.
sion of the forte at that hour the next morning-.
this 'further indulgence was granted. At the hose
,appointed on the 16th, 1 marched towards •
the, town and (sets, prepared for any occurrence
that might arise, but certainly little ex eecting that
whiCh happened ; for ,the Governor (whs, was
also Military Commassdaet) met me on the road, •
and told me, 44 he surrendered himself and the
garrison under his orders at discretion." Winkt
be was thus expressing himself, the Dutch coluers '
were struck, and the garrison marched out to the
place appointed; where they laid 'down their arms
•
and were embarked as prisoners of war, on
board 'lsis Majesty's ships, and our troops took
possession of the Forts Louis and Ainsterdon.
In this unexpected state of things, every ineasote
lias.beeti, and shall be, adapted, which liberality
on the one band, but a due regent to his hlajes. '
ty's iuterests on the other, can dictate. And first,
in order in tranquillize.the public on a subject of
such inipititance to the community, I lust uc tine
in assembling the Council, and stating to theta •
these sentiments generally, assuring them that no
lingenerous advantages would be taken of their
unprotected situation ; which commurticatioa, I
am happy• to inform you, coMpletely answeret
the desired, end. Such further arrangements, as
shall appear necessary, I shall forthwith adopt,
and subissiaor your Excellency's consideration.
The reftisal•.
of the Dutch Governor to ratify the •
terms of: capitulation is to be ascribed (as he
stated to me himself) tio.our rejection of the the
admissible proposal of ". his troops
.being sent di.
rect to Holland;" anti on failing to obtain' this
object, he came to the_extraorslinery 'rasolutirm
of surrendering at diecretiOn, therebyleaving the
intektußs of the Colony wholly unprovided for. ' .

It iswith very sincere•pleasure, that I ant noir

ful fuffilment of-your commands, in regard to the
complete expulsion of the enemy 'from this snor-
ter of the worlds, the island- of St. Eustatius (his

pitailation, as agreed on between Lieutenant-Ca.

wise differ in the principal points from those ra-
tified by your Excelliosey at the surrenderof Gila*
dalsospe, and are in conformity to the instruc-
tions with which you honoured me en this subject.
That the important objects you were pleated, to
entrust to use hale been, attained without loss, is
.to be attributed to tho previous arrangements of
your Excellency, and especially "so in detaching a
force, augmented and supported by the means and
measures of Commodore Fahie and his squadron,

defences, and strong positions, both at St. Milf•

capable of a serious defence against very saperinr

tiers% Commodore Fahie has manifested the most
anxious solicitude for the advancement of She
