Some important adyices were YESTERDAY
received from this place, by the ship Mary,
captain Freeman, arrived at Dover In 20
DAYS from Cape Francois. The war between
ths rival chiefs Christophe and Potion may
bs considered as Terminated; and we are
happy to observe, that the event is deemed
HIGHLY auspicicus to the British interests,
which the victor Chiistophe is known parts
cularly and assiduously to favor.
We expect to be able to lay before eur
readers tomorrow, the authentic particulars
ef the circumstances which led to this inter-
es.ing result.
In the mean time We are infortaea that the
president Chrissophc had twice beaten the
party Of his rival; that tie secena action
which took place N the 25th OF October,
proved decisive in favor Of tie former, the,
troops Of Potion having been totally defesfed
and dixpersed in the woods Of Mountrois and
that Caristophs returned 10 the Cape on the
9Th of November, where he was r~eesisea by
universal shouts of Joy. We arc further ia-
formed that many ships had arrived from
England With valuable carsoes, and that such
,.tne abundance Of coffee in the island, that
hips would ell have full freights without
SIS of time. Several vessels were about

report of the captain, were imprisoned at the
commencement Of the present month, Tor
having discussed the conduct of the prince OF

circumstance it is inferred, that the prince
was still j power. There was hardly a Spa

had Quilted it for the grand army. 1t was
bclieycd that the French and SpanIards had
some important object in vicw-but every
