KINGSTON, (Jamaica) April tt* Saturday iaft his Majefly’j ihipa Fo 1} Wniona, ‘Diamond, Pelican, and Ja }*?JK nm, with tile Punch tender, re- JiZ 7* turned from a c'ruife, and conduced w M # into Port Royal a valuable French } ~t& ifW (hip, from Cape Francois for Bour . wxa/vs-'C/ Jf deaux, laden with indigo and sugar. !BL?R/R/KmJK A flag of truce from Port aa 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. m*tm mm 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. A ’ ° f iUri ' red tLis from the Spaniffi Mam. ahe accounts we formerly received, of a rebellion gipgtejfe-northerly provide- of Peru, are confirmed, with thrs addition, thiT fimllar commotions have broke out in the middle and fouthcru provinces of that emi, a Prince, lineally ifefeemted from the Incas, havinM- en fokmnly crowned King of Peru, that he is at the head of 20,000 men, and that ie mat large bodies of troops are 7n arms faf different parts of that country, led by men refo f-H* Spania yoW, to c . it the nfle of their lives, and every thing dear to them, their new lovereign on the throne of their anceft ors. 1 wu Baffiererre, (St. Chnfopbcr') slfiril W,k^ )tt thority to assure our readers that tie iebcl privateer Hm ter, which ba, b.a so tatfal i„ these j, ‘ rfngth Come to her moorings in the Carenave of <tr I U: *b. fell in v/h hi.
