day evening, from of Rio de la Hache. The
Aerial is originally from Liverpool, and the
general, we learn, chartered her in the cha

shpwrecked, to convey himself and follow

| about ten days, he then assumed the rank oil
Independent General D'Evereaux, and the

arrival al that Island, they found mule OF the
Independent Chiefs tier to receive them,
nor had any provision been made for tie re-
cepton and support OF the general and his
men: On Learning, however, that Biron bad
| proceeded against RIO de la Hache, with

| flying at the fort. and their signals not being
answered, they wisely declined goln in. Not

rose three times on the master of the Aerial,
and took possession OF her, and otherwise
behaved very i'll.
