I (hall only mention one or two to jufti

to them, which are in his bill of parcels,
an article charged at one price, and in
his general account charged only fifty pr.

prieties,, the account was font to Mrs.

Wayne, he had interest enough toper

WAR ! SPAIN vs. ENGLAND.
By an arrival yesterday from Barba
does, we are informed, that a packet
arrived there the 19th August, direJt
from Gibraltar, with dispatches that
Spain had declared war a
gainst England. In consequence
of which, they were tilting out priva
teers at Barbadoes with the gteatelt ex
pedition, to cruize againil the Span
iards. One privateer had already failed
on a cruize before rhe above veflel left
Barbadoes. The day our informant
leit Barbadoes, fignais were fired at all
the forts in the iflaiod, as notice of the
approach of a fleet, but whether Englilh,
or that of an enemy, was not known, as
they were under apprehenftons of a visit
irein the Dutch fleet at Surinam.
There have lieen fovera! arrivals from
Jamaica fmee our lalt. By accounts
Irom thence, the illand continues to be
very frckly, efpectaily with the Ameri
cans there, almolt all the veflels loiihg
fome of their hands, and foine all.

Another Engagement, we are told, in
the ialt Salem paper, has taken place
off Gay-Head, Martha’s Vineyard, be

SALEM, (Mali.) September 9.
The following is a letter sent by an
American captain, confined on board his
Britannic Majesty’s fliip Monitor, ad
drefi'ed to the American mailers at St.
Pierre's, Martinique.
“ Gentlemen,
tc I am sorry to inform, that it is out
of my power to come on fliore to fee
you, as I am confined on board the Bri
tish ship Monitor, a 74, which arrived
here yesterday from Fort-Royal,, where
they left my ship, though I have been
captured for three months, and was.fifit
carried to Barbadoes, where they took
me on board this ship, a.nd I have been
.confined ever since, and all communica
tion denied me. They threaten to car
ry me to England. I was from Nantz,
bound to Guadaioupe, with 73 French
paiiengers, men, women, and children —
mod of them inhabitants of the illand.
They tell me my lhip is condemned—
but 1 have not seen any official informa
tion on the iubjeft, or any account of
her trial—and it is certainly an unpre
cedented piece of business, tor- a man to
have his property taken from him, and
condemned, without knowing for what,
or being aiked a single queition about
the business. I am kept confined and
debarred from feeing any one. My
motive in writing this, gentlemen, is to
be leech you to use your interell to get
me extricated, by petitioning the (JOll
-or fome other means. 1 had hoped
after the ratification of the celebrated
treaty, that we should have been treated
with Id's severity ; but, alas ! we have
nothing tohope from their civility. Ivly
ship’s name, is the American Congress,
of Alexandria. Whether her name ex
cited the cruelties and indignities I have
fuffered, I am at a loss to determine—
but heaven grant the time may come,
when we lhall put our ihoulders to the
wheels.
Your obedient servant,
<( Jesse Honeywell.*’-
Capt. Ropes, the bearer of the above,
with a Portland master, went on board
the Monitor, and supplied capt. Honey
well with every ncceffary he was in
want of. The other American captains
did not go, it being hinted that it was
probable they might all be detained by
the commander of the Monitor.

“ We have been extremely trcubkdb
