MORE OF FRENCH BURNING LOVE-
Captain Moses Brown, arrived in this port
this day, l2 days from st. Barts, left there
March IL.
Capt b, informs, that capt. Merrill arrived
at ST. Barts, the day before he sailed, was
boarded on the Sd of March to- windwaId of
Antigua, by two French frigates, who had
been cruising there some days, and detained
Is hours but finding he was bound to st.
Barts, allowed him to proceed. Captain Mer-
rill was told by one of the prisoners on board,
that they had SUNK and BURNT Serenteen
Sal of americans, and had the prisoners
then on board, among whom was a Newbu-
ryport master, a Frenchman, whose vessel,
a small schr. was sunk the day before suppo-
sed to be capt. Delisle.
By an arrival from Antigua the day captain
b. sailed he had accounts of the French fri
gates being taken by admiral La Fourie, and
carried to Antigua.
Captain Brown, who communicated the "a
bove, is well known for his veracity-there-
fore no one WAC knows him, can doubt the
correctness of the statement. This is a sub
ject which would afford a volume of COM
ments, but we beg every independent citizen
to reflect for himself.

WILLIE, tOtuJ IudICH 90
Important His exceliency the governor.
we understand, received information by ex-
press from ST Mary's on Thursday last, that
the plan of a Revolution had been. formed IN
East Florida, with a view of bringing that
Province under the jurisdiction OF the United
States ; and that the revolutionists were TO be
supported BY assistance from our government
The 18th Of this month it seems was the
day fixed on for an attack upon the town and
fort of st. Augustine, by a party Of the Uni,ei
States troops, volunteers and provincial revo-
lutionists.
The above intelligence is of no trivial i'm
portance. as it shews the determination of our
government to take possession Of the province
Of East Florida, and that part of West which
vet remain under the government of Spain
We think ii highly probable the towns and
fortresses of Mobile, Pensacola and st. Au-
gustine were attacked by the American troops
on the same day that is, on the 18th instant
and hat the American colors are now fly
ing on the ramparts of those places-They
were all strongly fortified and we'll provided
with heavy artillery; but being weakly gar
risoned, probably made little or no resistance
If the Spanish forts have been attacked, of
which we have not the least donbt, it may be
Couslucftu, WI CiilfAs as the cODlUlcnceT1ent
of war between theU. States and 6 reat- Britain
and Spain. An alliance, offensive and defen-
sive, existing between the two latter powers,
we have every reason to expect they will make
the quarrel a common cause. Indeed, the
British charge d~affairs, Morier, demonstrated
to the Secretary of State about a year past, a.
gainst our taking possession of that part of
West Florida which we claim under a pur-
chase from France, and limited that his mas
ter, the king of Great Britain, would not fail
to resent any encroacnment on the territories
of his ally, the king of Spain.

of Bonaparte to stop, rob, and even murder

We congratulate the friends of

news Of the projected Embargo, none perhaps
nave been dispatched more expeditiously than
