Disturbances at port of
Spain, Tri nad ad.
An affray took place about the 10th
May, betwixt Captain Vaughan, of the
Englifti frigate Alarm, and fome of his
officers and seamen, and fome French
privateers-men, (who had been driven
on ftiore by an Englilh frigate) late in
the evening. It is impolfibie to afeer
tain from which party the offence came,
rumour fays from the Englilh seamen.
On the day*fuecceding, Capt. Vaugha-.
landed on the king’s pier with 11 5 men,
armed for offence, and advanced to the
great square with drums beating and
colours flying; on this the Republicans
called <f To arms.” The Governor ol
the Illand, Chacon, went to Capt. V.
and requested him to retire on board his
veflel, if he had any regard for his men,
or the Englilh inhabitants of thclfland,
as by a contrary conduft he facrificed
tire lives and property of all such. Capt.
Vaughan told the Governor, pointing
to the Englilh colours in a rage, faying,
“ that lias been insulted, and mult be
fatislied ;” but on the Governor’s furth
er requisition, he retired. In a few
minutes the republicans paraded in the
lquare, and commenced firing on fome
of the Englilh inhabitants and others,
who ran from them.—Some were killed,
and fome made their escape. The Re
publicans at length were pacified, and
drawn off by the humane and prudent
Caprain Bedeau, of the French priva
teer that had been driven aihore in that
island—which fortunately prevented
further milchief, and prevented an in
furreftion of the negroes, which was
mediated. Whn cur informant left
Port of Spain, things were again tran
quil.—lt was said that about 3000 re
publicans and blacks were under arms
flhortiy after the landing of Captain
Vaughan.
Os St. Lucie, May 26.
The Britilh have got pofieffion of all
the forts, <ic. on that Island, with the
loss of about 600 men, amongst whom
were 45 officers. The French loss was
inferior. There are yet about 2000 mun
in arms, who have not surrendered ; and
whom the Briiilh are hunting down as
bkafts of theforelt :—it is probable they
will prove a troublesome enemy to the
Englilh for fome time.
Os Sr. Vincent, June 10.
The Britilh are in poffemon of the
forts, &c. ot that Island—they assailed
two forts and as many redoubts, defend-’
ed by about 400 republicans —the as
sailants about 4000 men. ‘The Ikirm
i thing andadault commenced at 40’clock,
A. M. and at 3 o’clock P. M. theEng
lilli carried one fort and two redoubts,
and were called from further aflault, on
which the French parlied, and obtained
honourable terms.

BALTIMORE, July 5.
There is a man at present at Mr.
Kauffnfhn’s tavern, the sign of the Bear,
in Gayftreet, who was born entirely
black, and remained so about thirty
eight years, after which his natural co
lor began to rub off, which has contin
ued tiff his body has become as white
and as lair as any white person, except
fome finail parts, which are changing
very fait—his face tetains more of the
natural color than any other part ; his
wool aifo is coming offhis head, legs and
arms, and in its place are growing
itraight hair, similar to that of a white
man : the fight is really worth the at
tention oi the curious, and opens a wide
field of amu.ement for the philosophic
yenius.
