SAVANNAH. Sebt. 90.

Arrived at St. Mary's, on the 9th inst.
the schooner Mary-Ann, from Port,au-
Prince. Left there, a number of Ameri-
can & British vessels. Provisions low-Aour
ID dollars-cofee scarce, and high. On CO.
ing in, was boarded by a ID gun frigate, one
of Christophe's squadron of ten sail, then
firing on the Mole, while his troops were
besieging it by land. The commodore "a
negro) sent in by the Mary Ann, a very
threatening message to Potion, informing
him that he would burn the place, and sink
his feet, then in port, if he did not surrend-
er, which he smiled at, and observed, he
was ready to receive him. One of his &C..
nera!s had been killed at the Mole, to whom
he gave very splendid funeral. 1t was
generally supposed, that Christophe would
succeed in driving Pesiou out of the place.
Rigaud was to lteward small distance,
and sent in word il they would displace Pc
ton, he would come in with his force.

Detection o Bonopdfte's Generals.--
Another officer of rank has come over from
the enemy. He made his first appearance
at the British headquarters in Portugal
and is now in London. These are NORTH
cations to which Bonaparte has not been &C
customed, and they will for that reason
press heavier upon him. His modification
is however light consideration; they are
events Of great importance to us, We shall
become better acquainted with the projects
of the enemy, the state of his military es-
adjustments, the direction of public OPT
Mon, and the character of his principal ci-
vii and military cfRcers. Gen. Sarrazia has
Put into the hands of government very cir.
