Baker of the Delaware Jloop of <war t to the fe rretary of the na<vy, dated Curraccoa, Zth February, 1800. “ On the 6th instant, appeared off this harbor, a French (hip of $z guns, called La Vengeance, and from what I can learn, fne left Guadaloupe last Sunday, bound to France, with a great deal of money, &c. on boardj and also two French generals, and a number of Other officers and passen gers, but on Monday evening (he was overtaken by an American or a British frigate {but generally believed to be the to rmei) and from her (hattered condition, (he must have had a very severe aft ion, La Vengeance having left (landing but her bowlprit, fore and mizen raaft j her fore and mizen (hrouds, ratlings, See. .being cut up so, that you could scarce fee wy of them foeftoppen. In (hort, there appears no place that has"efcapcd a lhot— her (larboard fide has been much hulled, feud it is said (he had 140 killed and -vounded, and when (be parted (he had 8 > bet water in the hold. They fay the o trher veflel was in a similar situation, and fn fa£t, that neither of them had the com mand of their (hips. The French (hip is low kjpfed up in the harbory . and will require some months to refit, not having uufts, cordage, Ac, necriLry for that purpofe* “ P. S. This moment arrived a fchoo r.tr from St. Thomas's with aQ American gentleman onboard. They were spoken oy a British frigate this morning at 8 o' clock, who informed them that yesterday he commodore Truxton going down to Jamaica, who informed them, that last .Monday‘night he got along fide of a French jo gun (hip, and after a long and severe action, had the misfortune to lose his main mjtft, fore and mizen top-mast; the (hip became unmanagable, at which time the french (hip made her escape, /everdy wounded. Capt. Truxton said, that if he could have kept along fide 15 minutes Longer, he would have taken her. This agrees .with the French report, for they fay they were in such a situation, they could not have defended the (hip much longer." March *O. , FROM SURINAM.
