On the 1st inst Arbnthn0t and Am
bristie, we're taken at the capture OF fort
ST.. Marks, were tried by curt martial.
in pursuance to order from gen. Jackson,
of which gen. Gaines was preside t
Both we're condemned to die.-The for
mer was sentenced to be hung-the lat
ter to be shot. They were executed on
the Sd inst. agreeably to the mandate to
the court. II is said that Ambristie died
like a soldier-he was cool and firm to
the last Observation-Disclosures was much
asitated, and evinced great fear. A man
by the name of Cook, one Of the accom-
plices of Arbuthnot and Ambristie turn-
ed evidence against them, and on his
testimony they were convicted. The
charges and specifications alleged against
them were lst, for supplying the ISdrans
with arms and munitions of war ed for
stirring then up against the whites; Sd. as
spies. Ambristie was lieutenant in the
British army and was an intelligent, fine
looking man. Arbuthnot not is as old
offrader, and has been often advised to
desist froIa exciting the savages against
the frontier people of our state. He
was the bosom friend Of the famous
Woodbine.

directly oppOste the town, and ven, the

place. We found it 10 be most misera-
bic hole, presenting the same appearance
as the day after the revolution and massa.
ere Of the French. Three. iourths Of the
houses are in ruins, and the rest inhabi.
ted by the most miserable set OF beings
that can Welt be conceived Of, almost ma
ked, and eating parcel Of roots, &c.
which forms their principal food.
In conjunction with the other officers,
I was invited to three or four dinner par.
ties, and introduced to several American
ladies, and black dutes and counts, &c.
some Of Christophe's courtiers-a great
honor.
We are going from here tomorrow
morning for Port au Prince, from thence
to Vera Cruz, and then to Copenhagen,
when We shall retrace our steps, and re.
