Cruize of the Congress. - U. S. frigate Congress, Harbour of? . Port-au-Prince,StDomingo,July 23. $ We arrived here yesterday after a pas sage of 30 days frrtm the Balize. Nothing worthy of remark happened during that time. We leave this on the -sth fur Cape-Henry. Port-au-Prince bears the marks of a well laid out city. The hous es principally are built,of wood, two sto ries high. At present a great number of them are in ruins. The harbour is spacious and good, capable of containing 4or 5 hundred vessels. It has been well fortified, but at present the fortifications are entirely in ruins. President Pet;uu is a yellow man, about 5 feet 8 inches high, rather thin with an open countc -1 nance, and the gentleman*. He governs Mth mildness is beloved by his peo ple. The governfhent is a military re public. Hie naval force consist of one ■frigate, built by Adam and Noah Brown mounting 32 gan«*, formerly the General Gates, of New-ITork, and one brig of lb Sans, formerly the U. S. brig Fire-Fly. I 0 not know what his military force may be computed at. as every man has to turn out whenever his services may be. Squired. The people aro generally in dolent. *4 ■ Cape-Henry, 2d August. We arrived hereyesterday. The con trast between the two black princes is striking, as respects their form of govern ment. Here every thing is carried on in military style. Baron Dupe is the king’s prime minister. He is a black man and ts well informed, The king is at his country seat 15 miles in the interim’. The citv remains as the revolution left it, mostly in mins. The harbour is good but rather difficult of access. It is in differently defended. The king has an tmmence fortification 29 miles in the in terior, situated on a mountain about 2500 ♦ feet above the level of the sea. It is said there are 30(lpieccs of cannon moun ted on it-—This he intends for his retreat in case of invasion, and has it well stor ed with provisions and ammunition, He has schools established throughout his dominions. There is one at this plhce on the Lancastrian principle, consisting of 150 scholars, principally the sons of noblemen and officers. It appears to be his wish to enlighten his subjects as much as possible, and I believe him to be one ofthe most despotic princes of the age. Every person is the servant of the king , —-He call son them as circumstances may require. Prince John, the brother ofthe king, died about a month ago. Tic la vin lacte 21 days. During which time they red a gun tevery half hour, for which his ife paid g 4 per pound for the powder, de leave this to-morrow for the island f wUargaritfa. Fompart* , Island of Margaritla, > 21st August, y We arrived here yesterday and found tis place entirely in ruins, in possession : the patriots. Gen. Morillo had been ere endeavouring to establish the royal ithority, but hearing of the success of ic patriots on the Main, he drew otfhis wees on the 18th ult. consisting ol 3000 ten, to protect that quarter. During is stay at this Island, he succeeded in iking this place and made an attempt n Assumption, the capital of the Island, ut was repulsed. The governor of the iland paid us a visit to-day. He esti iat.es the loss of the royalisis w hile at iis Island at 1500 men. He further tates that the whole province of Guyan &is is in possession of the patriots— they murder men, women and children dtbout distinction. It is said the wo icn took an active part at the attack on Assumption, and wherever they found ne ofthe royal party wounded they dis latched him immediately. We leave his to-morrow for Cumana, where we 10 doubt shall hear another story. P *m ictar is situated on the E.S.E. part ofthe stand. Cumana , August 24. We arrived here yesterday, where we oundGen. Morillo with a force said to onsist of 5000 men. The royalist ac knowledge a loss of TOO men during their tajr at Margaritta. The news is confirm id of the whole province of Guyannais >eingin possession «t the patriots, and it s supposed they intend makingan attack >n Carraccas.

You will rutw ask what has becmfte of Mr. Tyler, and wlv.t vv.is the object of our crui/.e. Mr. Tyler was sent out as the agent ofmir govern ment to that of Christoj.he's, to «7einami monies for property confiscated, but the black prince refused paying any such debts. The abject of our cruize on the Span ish Main is not known to rne. it is con jectured by some that it was to ascertain the Spanish force in (hat quarter in case ot a war with the Spanish government.

Marguritta, Cumana, Barcelona, ami last Laguira. fFe arrived at Margaritta the 2lst of last month, lien. Murillo with an army of between 2 and 5000 men, hail left it 1 days previous. Me were informed by the patriots that the royal army had been on the island about 20 days: during which time they had five cn gagemcnts,and were defeated with a loss of about 1500, killed and wounded. The loss of the patriots was small. The war here is a war of extermination. Gene ra! .d/orilio arrived at Laguira about the 5:1 inst. from Cumana, with a part of his forces, say about 1700, all told. They expected an attack no Caraccas, where the v intended to concentrate their forces. You are acquainted with capt. Tyler of the ordnance department I believe.— His brother was on board of us as agent to Cape Henry, and departed this life on the 17th instant—He caught the fever at Laguira, and was sick about ten days. Our correspondent at Baltimore writes us that captain Gantz, of the brig Little- Frank, who arrived there last Sunday forenoon in 28 days from La-Veia-Cruz, informs, that the day before lie sailed there was a report thatgeneral Mina and all his army had been taken—Tins re port captain Gantz did not believe, as there were, no rejoicings or illuminations at La-VeraCruz, on the occasion. An important decree has recently been made by the Spanish government,'which authorises the free cultivation and sale of tobacco in the island of Cuba, and its free exportation thence to foreign countries, in Spanish vessels exclusively, on pay ment ot a moderate dutv. It moreover authorises the importation of .that article into.-Spain, on private account, by the port of Cadiz, Corunna and Alicant only, and its re-exportation (in Spanish vessels) free of further duty. The Military School at ’Vest Point.— It isstated in the National Intelligencer of Saturday, that a thorough investiga tion of the complaints and alledged a buses at the military school is soon to be had by order of the executive.

Baltimore Patriot. » From the Charleston Courier* *■ The following is a copy of a letter from gen. Washington to doctor Coch ran, director general of the military hos pitals during our revolutionary war. It whs obtained from the son of Dr. Coch ran, and its authenticity cun be vouched lor. It will serve to remove the reproach that has been sometimes cast upon the general of his possessing a cold and un sociable temper. The style of the let ter is playful and lively, and exhibits great goodness and sincerity of disposi tion. TJ'e.st-Pointy August IG. 1779 Dear Doctor.—l have asked Mrs. Cochran and Mrs. Livingston to dine with Ilie to-morrow; but ought I not to apprize them of their fare? As 11||£ de ception, even where the imagination on ly is concerned, I will. It is needless to promise that my ta . Die is large enough to hoick the ladies— -01 this they had occular pimofyesterday. To say howitis usually covered,is rath er more-essential, and this shall be the< purport of my letter. Since my arrival at this happy spot, we have had a ham, sometimes a shout der of bacon, to grace the head of the ta ble—a small piece of roast beef adorns the foot, and a. small dish of greens or beans (almost imperceptible) decorates the centre. When the cook has a mind to cut a figure (and this I presume he will attempt to do to-morrow) we have two beef slake pics or dishes of crabs in addition, one on each’side of (he centre dish, dividing the space, and reducing the distyiCe between dish and dish to about buffet, which without them would be nearly Impart. Os late he has had the siuyvisirtg luck to discover that ap ples will make pies; and it is a question it, amidst the violence of his efforts, wc do not get one of apples instead of hav ing both of beef.
