CHARLES l ON, April 22.
Extract ef a letter from a gentleman
in Havannab to another in this
‘city elated March 22.
“ I wrote your houfe
mentioning that Untended embark
ing laft night ; but she commotions
now ex.yfting in this city ; which
render it unlafe for any foreigner to
be feen in the ftreet, have prevent
ed me from going on board. It is,
however, the general opinion, that
the dull will blow over in a few days j
for, tho’ they have th?3 morning
again began plundering every houfe
occupied by Frenchmen, they kil
led but three perfons laft nighty and
as the reft of that nation hive taken
refuge on board the Fr.gjjffi and
American (hipping, there is reafon
to fuppble that not many more
murders will be committed.—
The beff way, however, is to ftay
at hot^efor to venture out in the
ftreets would- be expofing one's life
in a wanton and fooh fh manner j for
to be to be a Frenchman,’
is cerran deaths
“Such is the situation of affairs
here. The gates of the city and’
public offices are (hue,'and will not
be opentd untill the tmubl s fub
fi le ; we are therefore literally
prifoners. The Governor has not
yet ordered out the military, but
it is fuppofed he will do it before
night. Some of your countrymen
appear greatly alarmed, but I truft
vuthout rcafon as the hatred feems
chi< Bv dire&ed againft the French ;
for although fume Englifhmen and
Americar* were going to be ill—
ufed it was bccaufe they looked like
Frenchmen j* but as fooh as it
was known that they were not, they
we e fuff red to pafs....Thefe mif
takys make it dangerous to go out.
Twelve o'clock at noon—l am
happy to inform y*u that the Go
vernor having at laft titought fit to
crdf*r out the volunteers, they have
quelled the riot, and the city is now
quiet ; but the accounts from the
country are truly alarming—at the
village Salud, (one mile diftance
from this) feventeen Spaniards have
fc£en aflaffmated laft night, merely
bccaufe they were fufpeifted of hav
ing French property in their pof
feffirri, ahd it is feared that ail the
French planters will lharc the fame
fate.
* c Martial latf was proclaimed a
bout an hour agh, and all the pieces
on the walls ordered to be loaded
with grape fho—This proves that

Awbrey after a long and painful
illnefs of nine months which he
bore with chriftian fortitude—His
death is much lamented by all thofe
who had the honor of his acquaint

We find from the London pa
pers verges of a fenows nature
have been brought againft ha rbval
highnefs the duke of York/ and
that an examination was going on
in the houfe of commons.’ 1c is
impracticable to give here even an
outline of the evidence produced
The Courier of February 4th, is
almoft entirely occupied with the
details no left than eleven columns*
The accufer is a Mr. Wardle,
member of the houfe, and the prin
cipal wtenefs a Mrs. Clarke, a mar
ried woman living in a ftate of rep
aration from her hufbind, and in
habits of intimacy with the duk>.
This Mrs. Ciark has charged
the duke before the houfe of com- y
mons, with having appointed and
promoted offLers m the army from*
corrupt views. The defence is
that the whole is an infamous mn
fpiracy to extort money. The
affair is (aid to be almoft the exclu
fiv fubjeft of converfation in Lon
don. Parties are already formed,
the one violently miftrufting the
guilt, the other the innocence of
the Duke, and defying the accu
fers. (The air of importance given
to the affair is fuppofed to arife from
a trick of the miniftry, who arc de
firous of drawiug off public atten
tion from the blunders in Spain to

It was reported at Gibraltar that
the Auftrian minifter at Seville had
informed the Junta officially, that
Auftria was to declare war againfF
France the 20th of February. Re
ports from the Adriatic, brought to ;
Gibraltar, dating that the Arch
duke Charles had advanced with a
large army in the Tyrol, feemed to’
confirm the report.
Turkey had a&ually made peace
with England*
Ah infurreftfort had taken place
at Cadiz about the 24th of Febru
ary, in cenfequeoce of the Junta
having propofed to garrifon the
city with Poles and Italians, faid to
be defeiters from the French army.
This tlrcumftance excited a fufpi
cion of the purity of the Junta's in
tentions, and the people affembled
before the houfe of the governor
and demanded information, they
proceeded to ads of violence and
killed one or two general rfficers
who were fufpeded of being French
parcizans-—the populace have cho
fen a Capuchin Friar for their lead

A meft myfterious filenre. has
been preferved by the General Jun

ones) rtfpe&ing the actual ftate of
the country, and it appears to be
their policy to keep the people as
