DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.

Capt. John Manwaring, Of the brig Exchange,
VINO arrived at Bottom ON Saturday is'nnght,
rom Bordeaux, informs, that on lis paifagc TO
the Hand ofSt. Thomas, he was captured or
and tent into Tortola by the armed fchooner
Colpoys, ON the 18th Of april, 1904, for a,;u-
dication, and detained three months and ten
days. Her cargo (amounting to 81 900 dollsrs)
was condemned, and the vetie liberated by pay-
ing all expenfes. Her cargo belonged to tis.
houfe of M'Gall and Co. of Philadelphia. At
the fame time the brig Samuel, captain Evans,
or Philadelphia, was captured and ient TO Tor
tola. On examination, by her papers it appear
ed that the captain had received a letter from
Martinico, with Box marked {" Noyesu,"
with particular orders to deliver it immediately
on his arrival. On critical examination, tie
box was found to be letters from the Governor
OF Martinico, with difpatches to the French Go
v,ernment, Eating, that the Hand was 10 clofely
blockaded by the Engih, that no vefel could
icarcely get fupply. The letters were DIFF
patched to Antigua, and directed to Judge By
ram. Orders were fent back to detain her for
trial. The vel1el and cargo were condemned.
amounting to 10000 dollars.
Capt. NJ. was informed at Turks-Ifland, by
the ichooner Polly, captain z. Yeaton, that
10000 men marched from Cape-Francois, on
the LIT of Augut, as a reinforcement againit the
CITY OF st. Domingo. Ibid.

LONDON, July &c.

We yenerday acquainted our readers that ac-
counts had been received at the India Houie, of
an engagement having taken place between the
homeward- bound China Fleet and the fquadron
under the command of Admiral LIMOS. We
are happy to have it in our power to confirm full
ly this mot important and pleafng intelligence.
The action lated fome time with great
warmth at length LIMOS, finding the attempt
hopelels, was glad to efcape himfelf, infead of
taking any Of our Hips His vsaeis we're g
much lhattered in the engagement, that they
are eFeGtually difabled, for fome time at leaf,
from attempting any further depredations on
our commerce. 1t has been ftated in fome of
the papers, that the Centurion, of fifty guns was
probably with the China fleet ut the time of the
action but we have the itrongeft reafons for be-
lieving that was not the cafe. Indeed we are
convinced there could not pofiibly have been d.
ny man of war with the fleet, as the monfoon
was directly in the teeth Of fhip failing from
Madras or Bombay, where the whole of Admi-
raj Rainier's feet was in January laf, except a
few that were Cruifing in the Bay of Bengal.
The whole merit, therefore, Of this mott gallant
achievement, belongs to the officers and crews
OF the Indiamen and when it is conlidered with
what difldvartage fhips deeply laden contend
againH venels contributed foley for the purpofe
of War, this Victory NUT be allowed to add
greatly indeed to our Naval reputation.

ing the bottom for different articles. In the

From late London PAYERS,

The mott prominent news them isthe increa-
FED proipeet of ipeedy War between Ruilia and
France. The event appeared aimoft inevitable,
it any reliance ran be placed on European ap-
pearances. The former was making great pre-
partitions for hotilities III the Batick and the
Black ieas. The emperour Alexander had re-
fnied to acknowledge the emperour Napoleon !;
and had lately been very laviih ofhis favours on
Louis XVIII. and his encouragement to the
French loyalifts. Nor does the emperour Ma
poeon appear very folicitous to allay the refent-
ment OF his brother. In one OF the lait Mont
teurs, he makes 1'alieyrand repeat, what he had
diIe6icd general Hedouville, his ambaiadour to
FAY, on quitting Peteriburg--s' The e,u6erour Of
the French does NOT qvib for quar- zvitb any one
neither does he dread II zvitb any one ! II lone
peace is bis QviB bit The LiRory ofbi5 life aE
torAS no room to imagine thai be is o a temper to
aAo7V bmislfto be inji4ited or Git7atsd to'' This
appears to be the language of defiance. 1t was
faid Sweden would unite with Ruliia in the
war. The Britih government had recalled its
ambailador from St. Petersburg and fent out
lord Cover with new powers.
In France, excepting the buftle of invaGor,
little were to be feen, but thefplendid prepare
tions for the coronation OF the emperour which
is 10 be on the 9Th November next. More thin
nne-tenths of the votes taken in France werein
favour of the inheritance of the Imperial digni-
ty in the family of Napoleon Bonaparte. All
the powers of Europe, excepting Ruiiia, Great
Britain, and Sweden, had acknowledged Bona
parte emperour of the French.
Mr.. PITS popularity was on the rife, and the
Britilh King remained in good health. On the
slit. July he was to prorogue his parliament in
perton.

HARlS, JllV 10.
The unfortunate General Moreau, his bro
thtr the Tribune, and their families, are about
bidding adieu to France forever.
~ We fate as facts, that Gen. Moreau left
the Temple, in Paris, in the night of the 29d
June, under guard of light horfc, commanded
by General Slavery. He pafed through Bor-
deaux, and arrived at Perpignan, about the 10th
Jnly.-From Perpignan a capital city, in the
Eafern Pyrennes, iituated near the mouth of
the river let he proceededto Barcelona, where
he arrived abont the 22d July. He only travel
led in the night, and his rout was circuitous.
Previous TO ietting out, he tigned an inltrument
empowering his mother-in-aw to fell his eftates
in France. His wife followed him on his rout
to Spain, ON the esd of June. His brother, the
Trbunate, fat ont before him to procure fuita-
bic veIei, for the accommodation of the family.
1t was iad, the beautiful chateau, which had
been given him by the nation, would BE- pur-
chafed by his Imperial Highnefs Prince Louis.
Moreau was confdered man OF fortune but
which will be much diininiihed by that part of
the fentence which condemned thole to BE- i'm
prifoned, jointly and feyerally to pay the COTS
OF proiecutlon, amounting to a million and u
half cfk7veJ the greater part of which will
fall on Moreau. Every anecdote of this illuitrl-
Gus victim to ambition mutt be interettIng

Is vetiels, not above 2349 tons, and in 1902 20
Veiieis, reckoned at 500 tons. Ofthe laf twen-
ty, one belonged 10 Sagg Harbour, one to Bottom,
to New Bedford, and 10 to Nantucket A

ftatlng that the Natucket and New-Bedford
whaers give 10 fhips with their names and tom
mage, belides fuch as are building for the trade,
may be employed in the fiihery, giving above
10000 tons, of which three fourths belong to
the Hips of hefe ports. 1t is obfsrved that on
iy or Of the Hoops are in the fiihery, only 2
OF the fchooners and three of the briggs. OF
New-Bedford II ihipS might be employed in
the whale fiihery-about ESQ tons each About
half the oil is continued in the country, and no
head matter is exported. The work to which
we referred itates that in 1901 were exported
l34,595 gallons of fpermaceti oil, and 447,s2s
gallons OF right whale oil I82,4oO pounds of
fPermaceti caudles, and 1889 pounds of
