oh the 25th March, after a passage of 12 days; and the

The Trepsichofe French frigate arrived at Bermuda on

jestic fell in with the Trepsichore, in company with the 
Atalante, another French frigate, on the 2d February, 
and captured the former, after a chase of a few hours ; 
•he making little or no resistance. She is a very fine 
frigate of 44 guns and 320 men ; was 23 days out from 
POrient The Terpsichore had 2 men killid and 2 wound wounded, 
ed, wounded, since dead ; and had his salts and rigging much injured 
by the Majestic's fire during the chase. Much credit is 
due to Capt. Hayes for the promptitude with which lie 
bore up to engage three ships} apparently frigates, and a 
brig : and we are fully convinced that had not the crip crippled 
pled crippled state of the Terpsichore demanded his undivided at attention, 
tention, attention, which enabled the Atalante to effect her escape, 
he would have given an equally good account of her. The 
other ship in company was supposed to be an Indiaman. 
These frigates captured a Spanish vessel from Lima, the 
day previous, with specie and a valuable cargo.

eagerly anticipate the benefits to be derived from a renewal 
of their commercial intercourse with North America.

PRINCESS CHARLOTTE. 
The Lord Chancellor’s first attendance on the Prince 
Regent, since his Lordship’s severe indisposition, at Carle Carleton-house, 
ton-house, Carleton-house, we understand, was upon the measu® of His 
Royal Highness’s intended message to Parliament, res respecting 
pecting respecting the proposed matrimonial union between the Prin Princess 
cess Princess Charlotte of Wales and the Hereditary Prince of 
Orange. The nuptials are expected to be solemnized im. 
mediately after the Prince Regent’s proposal has received 
that Legislative sanction which the Constitution requires. 
The illustrious Pair hand several interviews before the 

Prince went to join his father’s standard in 
it is understood, progressively led to that uhion & 
inent from which true conjugal felicity may naturally 
expected to flow. The Prince is a handsome military 
racter, with an animated countenance, and has morethi 
once displayed in the field the heroism which ’ 
tinguished his illustrious House. Such an union holdso B1 
a prospect highly flattering to the Protestant 
of this country.

Sin—l regret to be under the necessity of annoantiq ij 
to you the mortifying intelligence of the loss of FortKij. 
gara. On the morning of the 19th inst. about four o’clod I 
the enemy crossed the river at the Five-inile Meadows k® 
great force, consisting of regulars and Indians, 
their way undiscovered to the garrisson, which, fromthß 
most correct information I can collect, was complete!® 
surprised. Our men were nearly all asleep in their tents® 
tfie enemy rushed in, and commenced a most hwrilß 
slaughter. Such as escaped the fury of the first onset, ajs 
tired to the old Mess-house, where they kept up,a 
tractive fire on the enemy, until a want of ammunition! 
compelled them to surrender.—Although our forcewaj! ! 
very inferior, and comparatively small indeed, I am in.’ 
duced to think that the disaster is not attributable to any S 
want of troops, hut to gross neglect in the Commanding j 
Officer of the Fort, Capt. Leonard, in not preparing, i 
being ready, and looking out for the expected attack. || 
■ 
I have not been abls to ascertain correctly the number I 
of killed and wounded. A British Officer who is Ukea 
prisoners avows that many small children were murdered' > 
by their Indians. 
Major Mallory, who was stationed at Schlosser, with 1 
about 40 Canadian volunteers, advanced to Lewistoa« 
Hights, and compelled the advanced guard ofthecocnjfl 
to fall back to the foot of the mountain. The Major ass 
a meritorious Officer* he fought the enemy two days, and J 
contested every inch of ground to the Tautawanty creek. a 
In these actions Lieut. Lowe, of the 23d regiment of the K 
United States army, and eight of the Canadian volunteers,® 
were killed, I had myself, three days previous to thß 
attack on the Niagara, left it with a view of providing I ; 
for the defence of this place, Black Rock, and the ether r 
villages on this frontier. 
1 came here without troops, and have called out th 
miliatia of Gennessec, Niagara, and Chataugue countries I 
en masse. 
This place was then thought to be in imminent danger, 7 
as well as the shipping, but I have no doubt it is nov fe 
perfectly secure. Volunteers are coming in, in great K 
numbers: they are, however, a species of troops that I 
cannot be expected to continue in service for a longtime. I 
In a few days, 1000 detached militia, lately drafted, will 
be on.—l have the honour to be, Ac.

Bonaparte f does he think he here confers a favour?); 
King Ferdinand will make the English depart from Spain 
(here the Corsican discovers the cloven foot; 
Heal projects to excite distrust among Allies occupy hit 
thoughts); the mutual restitution of prisoners: 
F erdinand binds himself to demand of England to rcslow 
to this infernal Corsican the prisoners take in Spain; aft 
obligation to observe the treaty of Utrecht, as far as res respects 
pects respects maritim right? ; the renewal of the old treaties of 
alliance between Spain and France: the restitution of 
their property, the revenues, dignities, employments, P en "
