A letter is published in the Cornier Francais cf this morning, said to be a li;J teral copv of one received from New- York, dated 26th March—and among other things, contains the following ar ticles of information, viz, That twp ships of the Line and three frigates arrived at Port-au-Prince from France,the 6th March, having on board Mcflis. De Letombe, Painiere, Le Roy and Pagefe, who are lent out to replace Sonthonax & Polverel, that M. Le Roy and Pagefe with a strong escort are gone to Cayes to arrest Polve rel. After securing Port-au-Prince, M. Le Tombe (ailed with the fleet for Jere mie, where he arrived the 12thMarch; and surprized and took two Englifli fri gates, and three privateers, which were in the port; the EngHlh garrison were made prisoners of war, and nearly all the inhabitants are taken and embarked on board the fleet, to be sent to France, to render an account of their conduct. The fame thing happened at Jeremie as at Tou lon, one part of the people as soon as they saw the fleet, turned their arms a gainst t'i j other, and were the cause of a feeble rcfiftance. A motion was this day made in the House of Representatives to strike out the several fpecifications contained in the Resolution passed ycfterday in committee # W of the whole for (topping'the commercial . intercourse With Great Britain. Tnis inoiion, after some debate, was with4ravrn —Jnd was succeeded by ano th>r for the previous queltioin—whether | the main question Hull be now put—fur- j thcr debata ensued—the motion for the j previous question was at length put and loft, 53 to 44—and the House adjourn ed without deciding on the resolution, as reported by the committee of the whole. Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Vi 'l ming'ton, to a refpeilable merchant ot tiiis city, April I4> 1 79->• " Captain ArtguS arrived here this morn- I intj from Guadaloupe, but last from Antigua, where he was carricd into by a privateer, but liberated in consequence of the last m ftruy, but that is merely a form, to cover fouie other reason.

They tantalize me with ''We have " caught you at lafl,' and we will take " ;Tood care you (hall take no more vet " fels; we wish the others may foil into " pur hands," &c. Now, Sir, I wish to relate to vou a piece of the greatest im pudence and insult I ever heard of: Yes terday the American (hip MaffachVfetts, Capt. White, arrived ; (he was taken on her passage from Bourdeaux to New-York, by the letter of marque (hip Jame's, Capt. Wilkes. On her coming into port, Capt. Wilkes ordered the British ensign to be Lb'tjltd over the American enjign, in which situation it remained all day. This insult I to the nation ought not to be fuffeied.— Satisfa&ion, by the puiiifhment of that Captain, is the leait that can be demand ed, and was it on our fide such an affront had been given, the nation would have had more ample fatisfaclion. " I hope, fir, tho' that you and Mr. do not agree, oil the British trade &c. I (nail fee you among the firft to support the credit of our flag, when insulted in such a manner. If you were to be only four hours riere, you would fee more into the deiigns of the British than all the information that can be sent to you by letter; reft allured of this serious fz'A, the more you humble the inoreyou may; th:y are determined, and you have nothing i lore'to do, than instantly prepare to meet them: Now is your time; (too your piovi fions and lumber, and they will soon render you juilice, but let me beg of you to embar go the American vefi'els, iu order to keep vour seamen, or the British will have them all."

I OBSERVED in Mr. Baehe's paper, a long firing of Resolutions published by the Democratic Society. A Society which I had for some time contemplated to join, suppos ing that good might result therefrom, but " npijl observing that the tendency a»d design I op those resolutions is evidently to inflame i the minds of msny of the citizens of the li nked States, and viewing them as held up as a Rod to awe the government of my coun try, and that Congress may be driven there by into a premature war with fevefal of the powers of Europe ; lam brought to a pause at this moment, and shall omit joining the society, and shall continue to stand aloof un til I am convinced that they do not mean to ait as Dictators, yours, A True Republican.
