-'rrom the DOMINIUE CHRONICLE
of June 2.
We have delayed this Gazette, in the
expectation of official information from
St. Lucie to this island, but none having
as yet been forwarded, we avail our
iclves of the intelligence obligingly
communicated to us by a mold refpeCta
b!e friend, jull arrived from the head*
quarters.
The surrender of that island took
place at the time, we have already Ha
ted, hut the garrison obtained terms,
permitting them to march out with all
the honours of war, and lay down their
arms on the Glacis.
They were, in number, upwards of
2 000 men of all deferiptions, of which,
there were near 400 whites; these are
all embarked on board of prison (hips in
the Carenage, and are to remain until a
Convoy fails, which is fixed, for the ift
of August next. >
Previous to the surrender, and pro
bably, whilst the terms of capitulation
were negociating, about 700 deferrers
from the late English garrison, being
j'oldiers, emigrants or colored people,
formerly in our service, got out of the
French works, and reached the woods
in the Souffriere quarter, and having a
plenty of arms and fome ammunition,
- may give fome trouble before subdued.
Another body of 400 men, allb eicap
ed into the woods, between that fortrefs
‘and our lines ; these have been since sur
rounded, by the German .Yaghers, who
have already shot like game, more than
three fourths of them. The rest eannot
elude the fame fate.
A number of the Cte* de Bouille’s
emigrant Corps having defeated from a
pod of importance, to the enemy, in the
night ; the General, by day break the
next morning, re-embarked all the rest
ot the corps, to the universal joy of the
army. They are to return to England.
Some of those, with two British and
other deserters, fallen into our hands,
“ere hanged together, in full view of
the Britilh line.
We have loft about 600 men, in kil
led, wounded and miffing ; the officers
are not yet ascertained- The 31 ft and
2 7th regiments are said to be tiie moft
confijerable fufferers : two of our par
ties, fuppoted to have been cut off, are
found to be in fafety, owing to difagree
htiat between those who made them pri
fouer?. When our fleet and army ren
.youzed at St. Ann’s Lay, Mar
tinique, the enemy at St. Lucie obliged
, 3: t!le planters in the island, who had
bfvve refufed to join them, to come in
to Motne Fortune : these have been
r \ e ? ,£( f aR d lent to their plantations,
voth .heir wives, children and slaves.
Ihc French fay they have loft 700 in
! l! ' and 5 many were found in th.eir hof
?‘ts!, wounded and nek. It was owing
ta l fteir having expended all their am
“J nitl u OD , that they so soon surrendered.
. y received no supplies of that
and were reduced to the necessity
t reaking up the (hells we fired at
’V, for langrifh to return on us: in

NEW-YORK, July 13.
With shame we lee the liberality of
our lellow citizens in Baltimore and
Philadelphia excrcifed in relieving the
unhappy fufferers at Charleston. The
city ot New-York, perhaps the weal
tnieft in the Union, has done nothin:’ - .
The brig Thomas, capt. Pratt, from
Martinique, arrived here yesterday in
24 days palfage. Capt. Pratt informs,
that previous to his departure, arrived
a J Gaudaloupe, seven fail of the fine and
fix frigates* with troops on board, num
bers not afeertained.
In addition to the above, we learn, by
the mate of capt. Pratt, that, on the
20th of June Marigalante surrendered
to the British.
Ex trad of a letter front a gentleman in
Pans , to his friend in New-l ork y da.-
ed 18 th of April * 1796, received by the
Chatham from Falmouth.
“ I cannot omit circumftanres of the
mod curious kind. Yesterday I afeeud
e4 the Telegraph in this city, two hun
dred and ninety-three steps; witkin%
few minutes orders were received to in
form the citizens of Lille, one hundred
and fifty miles from Paris, that all was
well, and nothing new ; on which a man
gave motion to the machine, and in sev
en teen minutes an answer was returned
and announced by the said Telegraph;
the atmosphere was dull and heavy, or
an answer would have been returned in
less time.”
Capt. Greer, from Turks-Island,
was informed by the brig Harriot, from
Cape Francois to Baltimore, that a
French fleet, consisting of about 20 fail
of the line, had arrived at the Cape, and
had captured part of the Jamaica out

SAVANNAH, August 5.
We hear that the Yellow Fever has
made its way into the city of Charles
ton, and commenced its malignancy on
the unfortunate citizens ofthat place.
W c rear that this will conclude, what
has been threatened by the late fire.
In confequencc of the above, the Ci
ty Council met on Wedncfday last, and
blued an Order, obliging all v est ids from
Charleston, to perform a ifuaraufme of
15 days at Cockipur.
Avery remarkable birth happened a
few vvecks ago in the neighbourhood of
Danvilie, Kentucky. A young wo
man aged 15 years, was delivered of four
female children ! The information was
received Irom a gentleman who is a near
neighbour to the young woman,
Lxtrad of a letter received at Newport
(R. J r .J from captain James Taylor, of
that placey a pnjoner in Alg: ers, dated
April 6, I 796.
“ Phis will inform you that we are
still in Algiers, and God only knows
when we shall get out of it, We were
informed when the peace was made, the
money to pay for it was in Lifhon ; since
in London—not being, to be got there—
the Dey being out of patience, the 4th
instant, ordered Meftrs. Donaklfon and
Barlow, to leave this place on the ports
being opened, which is expefted hourly.
I leave you to judge of what we have
undergone in mind since, as we are cer
tain ihould this fall through, we shall fee
liberty never again—but by exerting
themselves, they have got liberty for
Mr. Barlow to flay. Mr. Donaldson
goes to Leghorn to-day : An Ameri
can brig that came here from Marseilles,
alio fails to-day for Alicant, with dis
patches—they have three months given
them to get the money here; if it is not
here in that time, we are fold for life.”
