Two of the (hips,of 110 guns. This fleet mull have failed from Brcft. Richery had no (hips with him of that force. It is probable, that the insubordination which had (hewn .itfelf on board the French squadron in Cadiz may have caused a change in its • destination, and that inttead of fending that out.as the third Weft India division another may have been dispatched from : fome otherport.

The trans port being then in great dillrefs with her enlign down and both pumps con , ltantly going, and being to leeward of i Capt. St. Bathe ; he immediately af forded all the assistance he could, and took the Isabella’s crew on board the Enterprize, and carried them fate into Teneriffc, amounting to 300 Tailors, foidiers, women ana children. The tranfpoit being unable to proceed to (ea, was condemned at Tenerifie, in conse quence of which Captain St. Earbe was compelled to carry Captain J acklon and the whole of the tranfport’s crew to Barbadoes* where they have rewarded Capt. St. Barbe, by libelling his veflel, and were endeavoring to condemn her, as being cither Freach, Dutch, or Ame rican property. The above is inserted at the earned desire of Capt. St. Barbe, as a warning to his American brethren how they art towards Britilli veflels in distress. Wc hope for the honor of humanity that fome explanation may yet be given to this extraordinary tranfartion. June 25.

We know not whether they have re mained silent on the fubjert of the clau ses of that art, by which the interests of France are wantqnly (aerified, and the old engagements made with her (hame fully violated ; but we contend, that h ranee having neglerted nothing hith erto, to keep a happy harmony between the two Republics, and yet all doubt being removed of the exittence between Pitt and Washington, ought to take ef ficacious measures to (top the baneful ef* ferts of this jcoalition. . f The nomination of apew 1 minister plenipotentiary announces* on the part of 1 e direrto<y* a similar dipofition i therefore we will dispense at present with pointing out any at this time* but the United States will not in future be forgotton in our remarks relative to di plomatic concerns.
