NORFOLK, Sept. /.

Yesterday morning, The French frigstc
Cy5ele, mentioned in our last, came up in.
To the harbor; ON passing For, Nelson
she salued with 2 guns, which were re-
turnedby an equal humber.
Respecting this ship, We Learn ti,at on
the 10Th. ult. in about 20, GO, lat. 81 long.
in company with The Regulus, Of 81 guns,
and the President of A, they we're en-.
countered by violent hurricane at S.
E. 10 S. which compelled them to seud
for nearly Eve days, in which they los.
their misen mast, main top mast, quarter
pieces tore of, and the ship generally
much injured. The last that was seen
OF the Rugulus and President, they were
scudding before The gale.
From Information, in which we place
| confidence, we can say That this squsdron
has never joined the eeet commonly cal.
led Jerome Bonaparte's.
On Friday last French II gun ship
came into thesCapes, and proceeded up
The bay. - She was seen on saturday NOR
n'ng going under. New Point Comfort to
anchor. This ship has lost all her top
masts, and appears 10 be otherwise much
injured. There has not been any person
t'cm her, but we understand j, is The Pa.
frfof, one of The feet to which Jerome Boz
napar,e belongs. Other accounts say
II is the Regu:us, which, from comparing
every accoupt,we should think most pro
ba5le we shall probably know certainly
in the course of the day.
From arrivals since our last, we find
that the late gale, was what is Usually
termed the stall Of Yves, India hvrr.

The officers of the French friga,e as Of

The British ship Rat,lesnake, Light
burne, from Baltimore TO Bas.,adoes, was
captured on the 9th ut. by the French
ships Regulus, President, and Cybele, and
ordered TO Martinique.
September 2.
We have it from respectable authority
that Sir EDWARD BERRY, who was Nd
miral Nelson's captain al the battle OF Re
Nile, and who commanded one Of four
sail under Admiral Cochrauc, at the time
offailiDg in with the French feet, has re-
signed in disgust and gone for England,
owing to Cochrane's not engaging them.
When Nelson paid HIS compliments TO the
King after the business Of the Nile, his
Majesty observed with sorrow, that he
had lost his right arm. 81 have" rspl-

1t is we'll that the American rner-
chants should be informed that the e2pen.
ses OF entering and clearing, por, char.
ges and Office fees at the Isle Of France
are encrcased nearly fourfoId. A ship
OF 800 tons cannot stop there for water
under an expense OF 800 TO 1000 dollars,
and are very often detained from cmbar-
goes or delitoriDess in the Offices in clear.

past trade meets with every kind of i'm
pediment, and a complete military 90.
vernment is establis he'd. 1t would
be preferable for vessels 10 water al Ro.
deigues or Bourbon.
Markets are stocked for at least Is
months with every article Of consumption,
and the American vessels have been ma
king wre,ched voyages for these 10
months past.
"There is great stsgnation in bust
ness, owing tothe British Keeping up a
constant cruize ofpthe Island, and pres
venting the small French vessels from ira

coast Of Africa.
"Three successive gales OF wind have
nearly ruined the crops, and much pro.
