As our iquatiron did not P* fids the means of laying le gal.u iiege to the place, capt. i. iiibane came to ihe determi nauon of iaiiing into the poit, and donning forts hitherto coiduiereti as impiegnable, or pti 1 filing in the attempt, sot retieat was unpofiible.

The guns of Fort Amfferdam were fired but once ; on our people Oorming th.c place they did not in a bodv, but retreated in confufion, filing round corners and from houles. Ihe militia, amounting to 3.000, had no time to collet), nor could they crols the water in boats. The Dutch fiigate Kenau Haffiar, was boarded by capt. Brisbane; the Latona warped alongside and took poffefiion, when cap tain Brisbane proceeded for die fiioie. The Surinam Cor vette was boarded from the larboard bow of the Anfon v while her Uarboard guns were firing at tie batteries. The Flying Fifli, a large national schooner, was boarded by the boats of the Arethufa ; the offi cers and cr:ws of thole vcflels fought mod gallantly; com modore Cornelius Evertz was killed, the captain of the Suri rtarn mortally wounded, and ihe fird Lieutenant dangerous ly, besides several others. The moment the Town, Fort Am- Itcrdam, &c. were completely in capt. Brisbane’s poflelfion, a Lieutenant of Marines was lent with a flag of truce, requning fort Republic to surrender. The officer difeontinued fn r ing, but would not surrender without an order from lieuten ant gen. J. P. Changuion, the governor, who was at this time a prisoner, with all his daff, in fort We under dand that captain Brisbane de filed the council to be collefcl : ed, and gave them five minutes to capituiate for the whole ifi and, but as they intreated for longer time, it was extended to half an hour—in the mean time preparations were made for Itorming this alnoft inacccffi blc fort. ‘I he liiip’s company of tiie Fifguard, commanded by capt. Boiton, were in boats ready to proceed by water. : Ihe matines of the iquaaron ( with about 300 Sailors, prepar ; ed to advance by land, the re mainder otthe tailors on fhorc, manned such guns as could bear on the objefcl of attack ; every thing was ready on a ligna! being made, when a ca pitulation was signed, and the troops in fort Republic alone, marched out with the honours j of war, piling their aims, and ; becoming puioners. All pti : vate property is rclpefled, and 1 the troops to be lent to Europe ; and exchanged. Capt. Bal ton took pofLffion of fort Re public. Captains Brisbane 6c Lyuiarcl landed nearly toge* thcr ; the former was the firlt man who Icaied the walls, the latter the second, clolely fol lowed by their icfpeclive ofh’ cits and firp’j companies.— About 200 of the enemy were Ruled ; our lols, is very trif -1 Hng, about fix killed and 30 wounded m tiie whole -fquau roh ; bad our ihips been half 1 • l! ’ buur latter in tiie attack, the Slang iter mult have been I dreadfu- : nothing couio be | better timed.

So apprehensive are they at the Ifiand of Marttmco, of an attack from fotrie of the Biit ifh forces, which they suppose ate on their way from England for that purpoie, that at the commencement of this month, the greatefl a6fiviiv and buiile prevailed there in putting the different forts and fortifications in order, and preparing their troops, See, to repel the ene my. The Minerva, Glenn, which was detained Sc sent into Port- Royal, on Sunday Ell by the Goelan brig, failed {torn Ga diz on the 26th November, and brings intelligence that the King of Spain, had made a formal appeal to his fubjetts, Petting forth the degradation and vaff.lage, to which the Spaniih Nation was now re duced by the Government of France, and enjoining them all to arm, and affilt by every means in their power, to repel the aggrandizing movements of Napoleon. It is Rated also, that the sub jugation of (he Spaniih Citi zens was so great, that not an individual had been allowed to utter a fyliable on political lubjeßs, regarding ffapole** on, without the risk of being apprehended; French Spies biing disseminated in eveiy di retlion. Information was received at Jamaica on the 9th of Janua ry, by an arrival from St. Thomas, that the remainder of the town of St. Thomas had been emir Ay-deft royea by fi.t p, The llames are Rated to have burst forth just at the shop where the conflagration of ’he lft of Otlober terminated.

It is somewhat remarkable, that the late Lord Nelson, at the last interview he had with j Mr. Pitt, predicted the failure | of the Continental var, from the command being given to Gen. Mack, who his Lordflrip added “ I know to be a scoun drel and a coward.” The report of the death of Mungo Park, who was laid to have fallen a vifctim in ’he In terior of Africa, is now found to be untrue. Accounts were received of him at Cambridge, in England, in CGobtfr Jail, which Rated his arrival at Tombubtoo, ar-d that he is on his return home. it is laid that the expedition under Col. Crawford proceeds fiilt to the Cape of Good Hope, & afterwards to Lima. BARBADOE3, Nov. 29.
