vcr take the crews of any veflel w; capture into port, but
- put them to death; that they were undeter
mined With refpeft to our fate, their officers being divided
in opinidh; that part were sos murdering us, and part for
preserving us; that their commander in chief was wic'n the
latter. We remained in this horrible fii (pence until about
4 o’clock, when it was decided in our favor, and we were
ordered to hoist our boat out and prepare for departure.
They searched our trunks and took the bed of our clothes,
the remainder we were permitted to take, with fome pro
visions. We arrived at Port Repubiicain in 24 hours after
we left the schooner, contrary to out expe(Stations, as our
boat leaked so much that it was difficult to prevent her
from fmking. I am confident that had it not been for their
chief commander we fnould all have been murdered, for
the mulatto from whom I received the foregoing informa
tion also informed me, that the day before they had taken
an American schooner, with 4 guns, from New York,
and that every foul was put to death; he could not inform
me of the vefiel’s name or captain. Wm. Ridg.
Norfolk, May 1. The Chesapeake frigate, capt. Bar

where ffie will receive moft of her crew from the Congress
frigate; the repairs requisite to that ffiip render this Hep
advisable, as the Chesapeake can be To much the sooner
ready for sea; having her stores already on board, it is
conjectured lhe will receive immediate orders for failing.

La Vera Cruz. The brig had on board 400,000 dollars
in fpccie. The privateers fell Tn with her to the westward
f Cape Antonio; the captain of the brig endeavored to
avoid them, but finding this impossible he made ready for
aftion. The battle laded two hours and a half, during
which the privateers made several attempts to board,
which did not succeed. One of the Englilli captains was
killed, and a large proportion of the crew. The Spaniffi

LONDON, March 17.
BY accounts received from Britanny, dated the lft in
stant, it appears, in contradiftion to the French
ftutements, that the Chouans are again in great force, and
that all communication between Brest and Paris had been
eut off for 17 days previous to the above date.
The combined fleets, confiding of 29 fail of the line,
14 of which arc Spaniffi, were in the outer road, but quite
unprepared- for sea, the who*# crew s of several of the j.
French flaps having, is is laid, deferred to the Cjiouans.
The fleet under the command of lord Biidport failed
from Torbay on Saturday last.
It is with extreme concern We state the Ids df the Re
pulse of 64 guns, capt. Alms, on the coast of France; 30
of the crew were drowned, the rest made prisoners, ex- 1
Cept a few who made their ci’capc in the cutter.
It is reported that government are about to ptirchafe of
the prince of Orange all the Dutch ftips of war which
were given up to hiih in the Tcxcl. They are moft prob
ably intended for transports for the troops intended for 1
one of the expeditions now in preparation.
The expedition to be commanded. by lieut. gen. fir
Charles Stewart is in considerable forwardnefs. Major
gens. Simcoc, St. Clair, and Moore, are to be employed
on this expedition, from which the country may expeft
all that can be achieved by brave and fkiliul officers and
troops. The Mediterranean has been mentioned as their
theatre for aftion; but the Downs, so oppolite a point,
being ordered as the rendezvous, will afford new food for
our politicians. The r 6th light dragoons is said to be
under orders for embarkation, it is not added whether to
form a part of this expedition, which the French are so
apprehensive to be intended against Brest that their flipping
has been ordered into the inner harbor. The troops under j
gen. Stewart, it will be cbferved, do not comprise any cf !
thofc from or in Ireland, but such as have been completed j
from the Engliffi militia, which having been enlilted to ;
serve in Europe only precludes the idea that Egypt is their ]
destination.
The preparations for the second expedition continue |
unabated. It is intended to comprise the brigades of
guards, together with the Irilh regiments, and thole about
to be augmented by recruits frem the militia of that coun
try, &c. The destination of this powerful body has been
fome time determined, but the period of action will depend
upon particular circumstances, as will the dil'polition of
the troops about to be conveyed from Russia.
A.dmiral Knowles will conduct the naval part of the
expedition cf which fir Charles Stewart will have the com
mand in chief.
A conliderable number of troops, it is said, will embark
soon from Cork to the Weft Indies. This is the motive
for fending them thither: the guards will remain in Ire
land, while the regulars go abroad. Troops are much
wanted in the Weft Indies, particularly Jamaica.
We hear that the following regiments of infantry are
under orders for foreign finance, viz. 2 battalions of the
4th regiment, 4 of the sth, 3 of the 9th, 2 of the 17th,
1 battalion cf the 31st regiment, 2 battalions of the 35th,
3 of the 40th, 2 of the 5 2d, and 3 battalions from the
Iriffi eftablifl.ment.
Within the last ten days four flops have arrived from
Carolina at different ports, chiefly laden Ivith rice; and
when the wind conies to the westward ten more lliips may
be expefted with about 3000 barrels, each weighing 500
weight of that valuable article. It is imagined, by the
middle of May, upwards of 15,000 barrels mere will ar
rive, which will, doubtless, help to reduce the price of
bread. One pound of lice, boiled loose in plenty of water
for ten minutes, will yield 3 pounds of nourilhing food.
It gives us pleasure to hear that trade is reviving at
Hamburgh. Borne of the boafcs that ftopt payment daft
year are, after paying 20s. to the pound, found to have
great reversions, and have again begun business. At Al
tona only one house ftopt, at Bremen only two, and at
Embden not one ftopt payment. 1 rade is brisk in all these
towns, and’the demand for Brltiffi manufactures, Ameri
can and Weft India produce, is great.
Glasgow, March 20. Paris papers till the 9th,inftant
were received on Tuesday. The campaign has not yet
opened. The report of the archduke having re
ligned the command of the Imperial army is unfounded.
Gen. Kray, who was mentioned as his i'uccefibr,.is merely
to command on the Lower Rhine, Under the immediate
order of his royal highness. Bonaparte, ft is laid, is to
