there are now at Barbados i 7,000 regu
lar troops, with 500 armed blacks.
[ General Abercrombie had arrived in a
’ frigate. Admiral Cornwallis, fiiccefifir
of Christian, daily expected with 10,000
additional troops. The whole arma
ment was expected to confiit of 25,000
regulars and 5000 blacks. The num
ber of (hips was not mentioned, though
among them was said to be one of 110
guns. The intention was said to be to
reduce the other islands, before the at
tack of Guadaloupe.
St. LllCUl.
Captain Beatley informs, that the
French are 10,000 ftror.g at St. Lucia,
provifioned and in high spirits,
aiting with impatience the arrival of
rhe Britilh to attack them—that prizes
W’were daily arriving at that place, Gau
daioupc, and the neutral ports, chiefly
transports—that the French at Guada
loupe, were 40,000 llrong, belides the
alarm lift, and have iix months provi
lions —that the French have pofledkm of
the chief part of St. Vincent's and the
Grenades—that the Americans are al
lowed to fell to the best advantage.
Captain Beady requests us to inform
ihe public, that he was treared well by
the French at St. Lucia, and paid with
punctuality.
NEW-YORK, May 20,
“ Hostilities are expected to be re
newed between America and the Alge
rines. It is a fubjeCt of much lurprize,
that the Moors are (imereti to depredate
on all nations who heiitate to pay them
tiibute.”
£xtrait cf a letterfrom an A ti.rican citi
zen y dated Purls, Feb. 24, 1796.
“ Could you imagine, my dear Sir,
that any American citizens could be lb
abandonedasto invite France to attempt,
by eoertion, to prevent the free exercise
of the judgment of our country concern
ing its own interests, and to awe it into
a turrender of its opinion to the mandate
of a foreign country ? Vet so the (a<Tt
undoubtedly is. Influential men on
your fide of the water, have invited the
French government to (peak to ours a
decided language agai rft the execution
of the Treaty with Great* Britain, and
even to go lofar, as to claim our guaran
tee of the French Weft-Indies; placing
before us the alternative war with France
and Great-Britain. The idea has been
lifter.ed to by the government, and it
has been in contemplation to fend anew
minister with a fleet to carry the plan
into eftetft ; though#! am inclined to
hope that it has been recently laid afrit.
The extremeembarralirue its of the af
fairs of their country, especially with
regard to its finances, and more serious
reflexions on the hazard of driving us
into an election tc take fide with Great-
Britain, as well from the exposed irate
of our commerce, as from the resent
ment which a dictatorial conduft would
naturally inspire, have at ietft produced
a halt, and, I trust, that the helitauon
which has begun, will end in a relolu
tion not to nlk so unjust and so mad a
proceeding. Would to hCcl ven that the
war was at an end 1 for We (hall not be
fafe from the machinations of this wick
ed portion of the globe, until that event
takes place—julhce and morality have
fled from Europe—but a;as ! vre they
flying from America abb ? I dare not
trult to this mode of conveyance tire per
sons supposed to be the authors oi this
nefarious plot. Bui. a lew months may
enable me to make the difcloiure with
more certainty, where i can to do it
with perfect fafety.”
This morning arrived the Schooner
Regulator, captain Rubertfon, in 21
days from Aux Cayes. ‘flic second
day after captain Robertson’s departure
from Aux Cayes, he was boarded by an
Englilh ihip of war of fifty guns, and
his mate, Thomas. Cullion, was impref

feifion two protections. We are also
intormed tliat a lew days after an En
glish coavoy, confiding of about 120
inerchaitmen, were leen going into Cape
Nichola Mole, apparently light, under
protectiono( lorne (hips ot war.

The Swift Packet, capt. Malcolm,

10 days from Jeremie. Capt. Malcolm

that port, one day before him, thar after
being about three leagues out, Capt. Do
naldson difeovered, that he had omitted
to bring his papers, he immediately pro

CHARLESTON, June 6.
Capt. Hu//) from Berbtce , has obliging/v
fa-jored us w.tb the following inform
ation.
April 2 3—Accounts arrived of De
merara having furrenJercd by capitula
tion, to 1100 troops, under the com.
mand of Gen. White, on the fame terms
the Dutch received at the fall of the
Cape ol Good Hope.
May 5 -Appeared off the harbor of
Berbice a 64. gun (hip, called the Scipio,
Capt. Davis, and the Rake frigate, with
several small vellels, the fort was de
manded and an hour given to determine,
ihe governor very spiritedly refilled,
and demanded eight hours, not having
ihe council together; this being granted
the fame terms were offered him as those
given to Demarara, which he objeded
to, and alked for the following addition
al articles ;—That the Colonial proper
ty (hould be put on the fame footing as
the private, and that no additional rat
es (hould take place. General White
agreed to this.
On the 7th the fort was given up,
which only confided of 100 foidiers,
none of the militia being under arms
they marched out with the honors of
war, and the officers kept their fide arms.
The loidiers had the liberty to depart,
or join the Britiili troops; this at firlt
they refufedj but a iew days after they
agreed to receive Britilh pay, on condi
tions to taice charge ot the internal forts
on the river, in order to keep the blacks
in lubjettion and not to be obliged to
take arms against the French or Dutch
that might attempt the reduction of that
river, being left under the; charge of
Col. Campbell, a very refoeitable char
acter, and the civil commiliion continued
in its old officers, changed to the Britilh
Hag. Every tiling appeared in the great
est degree of harmony between the par
ties when Captain Hull left it, on the
12th of may. About this time accounts
arrived of five fail of the line 01 French
and Dutch Being on that coait, with an
expectation of more.
1 here fell at Demarara one (hip of
24 guns, a Dutch states ihip, and one
batreau, a French privateer and her
prize, a Portuguese ihip, very valuable.
The crew of the privateer would not
lurrender, left that port, and marched to
Berbice by land armed. Finding that
place about capitulating, they continued
their march towards buriaam, through
a wildernels, so thick with bullies, cov
ered rnoltly with two feet water, that
they were obliged to carry savages for
pilots. i o prevent their getting to
■Surinam, the Britilh difpatci'ed a ietter
02 marque in order to way-lay them up
the river Quarantine, but they having
intelligence, or expecting they would
be purified, avoided the place, by which
means they escaped.
After having cleared ouf, and on the
day of leaving the river, I was fired at
by the Scipio, and ordered to come to
an anchor on the open coast, where a
molt dangerous sea was going ; my pa
pers being ordered on board, 1 was there
detained 24 hours; during which he
parted his final! bower cable, and was
obliged to let go the best bower, expec
ting momently to part that ; but finally
going on board to demand the reason of
his being thus detained ; were rellorcd
Ins books, papers, &c. and he was desir
ed to proceed. He, the captain, that
moment had received the governor on
board, to diner, who had been fwornin
as a Britilh governor ; and, by whom 1
was cleared our. I concluded his letting
me go, was fearing his resentment by
treating a regular clearance from him
with this dilrefpett..
