FRENCH FLEET.

A report has reached town this morning from
the eastward, stating, that advices are received
of the French feet which had got out OF Tou-
lon, having proceeded against Fayal, where they
had destroyed all the shipping in the barbour -
We know that there has been an arrival at Mar
tha's Vineyard from Fayal, having seen letter
from passenger but this letter is silent on the
subject of the news. 1t is not at all UNLIKELY,
however, that this feet, if it has made its escape
from the Mediterranean, will spread desolation
and ruin wherever it goes and as American
trade has not the happiness of exemption from
French violence, it will. doubtless come in for a
large share ofsufering. ..Phil. Gag.

This large island, subject to the crown of Den

equal to England, was Professionally taken under
The protection of our government in July last
Strange rs it may appear the island was in effect
reduced by six seamen belonging TO a letter of
narque from the Thames these dauntless fell
lows took the governor and the whole Danish
garrison prisoners native islanders are
estimated at $4,000; but they are much scatter
ed, have little communication with each other,
and are miserably poor. They did not seem TO
interest themselves in the question who should
be their rulers. A sioop of war which touched
at Iceland, seemed rather to disapprove of the
letter OF marques proceedings; and the Danish
governor, count Tramp, is now at Leith, on his
way TO London to seek redress. In the mean
time the island remains, in some measure, in our
hands II is not OF great value, in almost any

feathers, and dried fish, are the exports, and
these are IN no great quantity.
Mr. Hooker, n gentleman of fortune from
England, at the lnstigatiOh of sir Joseph Banks,
spent the summer in Iceland, in investigating its
natural history. lie travelled, with retinuc Of

snow would permit, pitching his tent wherever

drlwInSs, at which he was excellent. He like

the whole of this active gentleinan's Iabors were
