The enemies of government seem now
to content themselves with general reflecti
ons against war, thereby wishing to excite
a discontent against the present—bat the
people of this country are not now. to be
told, that the war in which we are at pre*
sent engaged differs in its principle from
every other that we were ever embarked
in : It is a war for the preservation of our
lives, and liberties, our property, and our
religion ; and upon the issue will depend
the future permanent happiness or misery
of this country.

The Phoenix, Captain Moore, just return
ed from the N. W. Coast of America, brings
the firftfubftantiated accounts which we have
heard of the loss of the Lark, Capt. Peters,
which veffej was fitted out from this port
some years ago, at the commencement of
those enterprizing expeditions to Nootka
Sound, which have since experienced such
various fhccefs, and caused so serious an-al
tercation between England& Spain. The Lark
was loft on Beerings Illand, off Kamfchatka
and several of the crew got on (hore: but
owing to the hard (hips they underwent from
the inclemency of the climate, and want of
necellaries, only four survived, who were re
lieved by a Ruffian vessel which carried them
to Siberia, where they have met with the
moll humane and attentive treatment from
the Ruffians. They are two Portuguese and
two Lascars, and are still residing at Irkufk,
in Siberia.
The Phoenix found in Beals harbor a Por
tuguefs Snow, commanded by Capt. Viana,
oi Macoa, which had wintered on the N. .
Coalt. The former Captain had been killed
by the natives at Port Mulgrave, who had
attempted to board the vessel.
An American Ihip had left a man to learn
the language and trade with the natives.
Captain Moore humanely supplied him with
such ne:effaries as he could spare.
In a Bay near the Green Islands, a Ruffian
Captain Beramhoff, who commanded a fqita
dron of boats, came on board the Phoenix,
and informed Captain Moore, that he came
from Kodiac, and was cruizing along the
Coast in quest of the natives, for the purpose
of civilizing them, according to orders from
the Emprel's. He had also received orders
to treat the Englilh with the utmost civility :
in consequence of which, he oifered Captain
Moore every afliftance in his power to afford.
The Ruffians were erecting some works in
Cook's River. The commander mentioned
that there had been no trade between Russia
and China for fix years, and that they got
all their tea from England: that article fold
in Siberia so high as nine roubles per pound.

NEW-YORK, April 1.
Capt. Cummins, arrived here yesterday,
failed from St. George's, Grenada, the
9th March : He informs us, that accounts
had been receeivea there on the 7th, by
the Lady Hammond, from Martinique
that the Britilh Batteries were to open cn
Fort Bourbon on the morning of the Bth:
That a series of heavy rains had retarded
their operations, and that about fifty of
the Britilh troops had beer, killed in the
lines by Ihells from the Fort—but that it
was completely in veiled.
Capt. Cummins also informs us, that
the port of Grenada is open until the id of
May, for every article that can be admitted
in Britilh bottoms from the United States
with permiflion to enter for exportation,
any thing they may have inadmissible, and
carry it away with them.
Capt. Cummins, has favored us with
Grenada newspapers, to the 7th of March,
from which we have copied the following
und«r the Grenada head :
St.GEORGE'S (Gre.) March 7.
The Ihip Mary, Capt. Molyneux, arri
ved here from Martinique on Monday
morning. When the Mary failed, which
was on Saturday, every thing was quiet
at St. Pierre, and the mod perfeit order
and regularity eftablilhed among the inha
bitants, who under the protection of the
Britilh arms, and the equitable command
of Col. Myers, enjoyed a state of security,
to which they had long been strangers. —
The arms of the inhabitants were demand
ed, and delivered up to the Englilh, who
deposited them 'in a magazine appropria
ted for that purpose. The batteries, which
had been carried 011 with great expedition
considering the immense labour they re
quired, were completed and mounted with
upwards ot an hurtoied heavy cannon ana
mortars, to act against Fort Bourbon ;
but their fire had not commenced, not
a lingle (hot or (hell having been thrown
into the Fort. Sunday night, was the
time appointed for the cannonade to be
gin, and it was the general opinion, that
the place could not hold out more than 48
hours. In the whole of the arduous and
fatiguing fetvice of erccting the batteries
and carrying the guns from the store-ships,
for a considerable distance thro' a very
difficult country, impeded by the enemy's
fire from the Fort, thefpirit of emulation
pervaded every different corps of the Bri
tish forces, and the mod perfect good uo
derftanding and harmony reigned among
the whole. The Midshipmen who com
manded the Gun Boats, have all been pro
moted to the rank of Lieutenants by the
Admiral, in conlideration of their good
conduit.
A confirmation of the above account I
was received by the sloop Speedwell, that
failed from Martinique on Sunday after
noon, with the additional circumftauce,
that Belgarde had lurrendered with two
hundred and fifty of his people, on condi
on u? his being sent to America ; having
been repulsed in ah attempt he made on a
party of the English who were landing
(lores for the siege, his retreat to his form
er pod wag cut off, by a (kilful evolution,
and the gates of Fort Bourbon were shut
agnrnll him. In this fituatipn several of
his party escaped to the woods, a number
were killed, and the remainder laid down
their arm*, Capt. Drew of the 45th par
ticularly diftinguilhed himfelf on the occa
fnm.
Accounts are' received of the arrival of his
royal highness Prince Edward at Barbadoes,
and of his proceeding immediately trom
thence to join the army at Martinique.
Gapt. Neil, of the ship Diligence, arrived
yesterday from St. Euftatia, hai alio favored
us with the St. Euftatius Ga2ette, of the 7th
March; the following under the Basseterre
head, is the only article of intelligence we
find in it.
