NEW-YORK, July 25.
Capt. T'ruet, of the schooner Hiber
nia, arrived on Saturday, at New-York,
in 15 days from Port-au-Prince, has
favored us with the following extraor
dinary account.
On the 30th of June, 1796, at 7A.M.
the (hip Mercury, ot New-York, cap
tain Jdfop, weighed at Port-au-Prince,
in company with a number of transports,
and his majesty’s frigate Success, com
manded by capt. Pigot. At n p. m.
the frigate gave a signal for all to lay
to. The Mercury hove to two cables
length, on the frigate’s quarter ; at hah
pad 1, a. m. the ill of July, the frigate
wore and ran upon the Mercury ; or
ders were given by capt. Pigot to his
men, to cut and bring on board every
tiling they could lay their hands on ;
they cut away his jib-boom, fpritfal
/ard, fore-ltay, jib-Uay, fore-topmaft
day, unrovc all the bowlines, cut Hop
per, lhankpainter, and two llrands on
five bed bovver cable, and ordered his
men to take for® stay-sail and jib,
to make them trowfers. At this time
capt. Jeffop begged that they w ould cut
as little as they could help ; the wind
was light, and they could clear the ship
without cutting. Capt. Pigot ordered
his men to lay hold of that damn'd Yankee
rajeal. and bring him on ho drd ; which
orders were obeyed.
As soon as the ship-was cleared, capt.
Pigot alked tor the damned rajeal ; the
officer of the Mercury, captain Jeffop.
laid, “I am the man Capt. Pigot
alked what officer he was; the failing
mailer replied, that he was the captain
of the Mercury : he ordered three boat -
1 wain’s mates to take the Yankee rafeal,
an and give him a flogging ! which they be
gan to do : Capt. Jclfop made no kind
ot refinance, but begged they would have,
companion upon him ; no attention was
paid to his cries, and he tainted under
Ihe blows he received. Captain Pigot
then appeared to be fatisfied ; and Cap
tain jeffop having recovered his senses,
iomc time after ailccd Capt. Pigot for
one ot his fails, who replied— You damned
rajeal. if you jay one word more. I ‘will
have you to the gang very and fog you tt>
hath ! and thereupon lent him on board
his vessel again.
Captain Jeffop arrived at Port-au
i rince, vvnere he went before a |ury of
forge on s, and all the officers of the port*
who all expressed the) r surprise and in
dignation on feeing his bruised body.
He was taken with a vomiting of blood,
which was at length flopped by the:
forge™.s. ike gentlemen of the port
allowed that it was the moll un,ufufia
oie cruelty and the grossest insult to the
iAyvs oi nations they had ever heard of j
t:m it should be pubiilhed in all the
American papers, and represented to the
executive oi the United States, and a
tiatement of the trail faction lent to the
Briiifh court. Captain Tract oftho
schooner Hibernia was an eye-witness
of every fad here dated.
Capt. I. on the 4th inst. half war
between Port-au-Prince and Leoganc,
faw r three republican gun boats take an
Englilh tran! port ship just out of the
Moie, u-ith troops, bound in for Port
au-Prince ; being chafed by the Bris
bane, a British lloop of 16 guns, they
they ran her on shore, and capt. T. fat
her in flames all Handing, and presently
fhc blew up.
Capt. T. allures us, that upwards of
100 of theßritilh die per day at Port
au-Prince.

the impropriety ot her capture, had for

Ex trail of a letter, dated New-York,
July 20th, 1796.
“ Reports arc spreading that we have
the Yellow-Fever among us, and I be
lieve we have had a few in fiances of it,
but do not find that it increases yet.”
FAYETTVILLE, July 30.
Two valuable prizes, of the home
ward bound Jamaica rleef, were lent
into Wilmington a few days part, by a
small privateer schooner, belonging to
the republic of France—the prizes, viz,
a ship and a brig, were laden with iugar,
ruin and coffee, and are estimated at
100,000 dollars value—the privateer,
w'e understand, had also captured four
other prizes before she fell in with th
above.
CHARLESTON; August 9.
Ycflerday arrived Snow Resolu
tion, from Leghorn ; the captain re

it was thought, would do the fame.

and that opinion is, that those report*
have been without foundation.
