Prince, with the Captain, palicri
gers, and men, belonging to his Majesty’s packet-boat
Cornet, fome time ago taken by the mifehievous Mole,
arrived this day at Port Royal. The inhabitants of Hif
.panlola were very much out of humour with the Court of
France fol* the little attention paid to the security of that
valuable island, one fiigate and a tender being all the naval
Force left for Its profettion. The Americans and French
were mutually difeontented with each other, the former
acceding the latter of deceiving them with pro
miles of effe&ul iupport in >a war from which France was
to derive fueb eflential commercial advantages, and giving
them vary little affiffance ; the French declaring that the
glory of their Graryl Monarch had never received so inde
lible a itain as his alliance with such a set of rebeHiout bour
geois had brought upon it.. A company of the 99U1 fegi
fnrnt, commanded by Capt. M’Kay, from St. I.ucia for
this island, had been taken and carricdjnto HifpanioJa.

minique. 1 roops were la motion In moil part* of FHfpf
niola ; their rendezvous was said to be n*ar Cape Tiberoon,
where a camp was forming, and magazines colletting for
a large army, designed for an expedition of importance.
Wednesday the ship Rote, Capt. Scevrnfun, arrived at
Old Harbour, with fiuves from Africa, in seven weeks.
On Sunday afternoon, oft’ the east end of this island, the
Rose was attacked by the Mole privateer, and an engage
ment commenced, which continued until the Rofe's am
munition was expended, when the Mole grappled aad
boarded her ; Capt. Stevenson ehen armed a number of the
slaves, brho,’ with cutlaffcs, handspikes, and hx.fe (hot
with whitli they pelted the f renchmeii, after a (harpeon
teft, cleared the ship of them, and ih a fliort tipie Mto*
fieur thought proper to (heer off. The Captain and several
of the Rose’s people were wounded, only one nun killedi
but it is imagined the enemy’s loss wa* very conlidciablc*
The Haves behaved with uncommon (pint, and enjoyed
their victory with a peculiar degree of fadsfattion, which
they exprefJed with loud huzzas wh,en the privateer made
fail. ■ If r /: -
The French are arprehenfive of a rupture with the
Court of Vienna, on account of fome pretenfion* which
‘ the Emperor has to the Duthy of Lorraine,’ but which,
during the life of his late mother the Empress Qiieen, he
did not thihk proper to assert, in ecnftdcrutioo of the aver
tion that Princef* had for war the latter part of her life •
but being now under no further reilnint from motives of
delicacy, he has diretted the Imperial Ambafiador to make
4 demand in form of the territories he claims; aud, to
give a proper efficacy to the application, preparations u*rc
making for forming a camp this fummet near Franckfort
upon the Maine, to conff.t of 150,000 men.
