Paris papers to the 5th of April, but
1T too late an hour to make extracts.
The Argus Of the 4th April, con
tains letter from Gen. Sault, (given
out in general orders) to the com

cling, that q" the English had at
length begun to execute their in.er-

bales Of cotton infected with the
plague, which they had sent for from
the Leyant.. land that FIVE of these
bales had been thrown into the Bay
Of E.staples by English embarkati-
ons, under the protection Of a fri
gate and two corvettes. - THIS his, VIC
have no hesitation in saying, will
prove vile calumny.

embargo was expected shortly to
take place at Bordeauy.

We this morning received a

ahead of the feet on the Cd inst. at 4
O'Clock in the morning, struck on a
sand bank, about a mile from the
shore, Is leagues south of this port,
and 80 sail OF the merchantmen also
went ashore. About 400 dead be-
dies was found Oh the beach. The
Apollo had OH board 237 men, only

he arrived at the fatal spo, where he had not been
long before he saw his mistress not only arm and

in manner that would have bewildered an ina

had his mistress and her companion passed his
place of concealment, than he rushed forward,
and shot them both through the head. But what
was his surprize after this desperate act to find
the supposed youth whom he had murdered as
rival was his own sister. He drew his sword
and stabbed himself to the heart as punishment
for his jealousy and his crime. In his pocket was
found letter addressed TO his sister, thanking her
tor her information, and bequeathing her all his
