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.
