NEW-YORK, November 3. wa
Accounts by the Elefta arrived yesterday me
from Leogane state, that the (hip Andro
mache of this port, lately taken by a French to
privateer and carried into St. Domingo, ha 3 ,°f
been released—and, as is said, in confe
cuence of a late decree and order received the
from France. r "5
It rnnch to be hoped this information of
may be aronrate ; but the late aecO Jnts
from Europe <io not entirely lead us to ex- ! to
pest t' at so favourable a decree has already ; ma
found its way to the Weft-Indies. cai
PORT WINE.
The orders received at Oporto this 'year
are for no more than 11,000 pipes, of which
goc'o are for England, Ireland, a:jd Scot- j
land, and the reft for otl.er parts of Europe. 1
In the year 1794, the exports amounted to n „
52,000 pipes. There is therefore,.a fall- 1'
ing-off, reacliing nearly to four-fifths of the j Mi
whole quantity. The last fleet has brought ;
only 3500 pipes for the port of London cr?
The imports for the whole of this kingdoi* w i
does not exceed 5000 pipes. I eft
The Methuen treaty, concluded in 1703,'
between England and Portugal, while it
ftipulate3 for an abatement of one third of
the duty on the wines of Portugal, imported <j e
into jhis country, does not contaip any arti- the
cle binding to admit the manufactures of P°
England on better terms than those of any
other nation. The late treaty with France, f QI
therefore, which puts the republic on the ku
fame footing in point of commerce as Great- fui
Britain, cannot be said to be in any degree bo
injurious to us*; but merely declaratory of j o |

MERCANTILE INFORNATION- £
The following is copied from the " Courier (to

1797. I I hl
.Translatedfor the Daily Advertifcr. _
An addrefs.from the Merchants at Havre de
Grace to the Legislative Assembly. w
Citizens Representatives, |.bi
We have a long time addressed ourselves th
to Heaven with ardent vows for a re-eftab- '
liftltnent of peace, without which it is im-
pofliblc that the commerce of France (hould
he reftqred. Calumny in vain haS accused j n
the legislative body,to bring to remembrance th
its happy tera. It is well known with what £
tagernel's th. -preventatives of the people
have ratified the differed treaties wh.ch the fc
Diredteyy has submitted to the:i" C?rr. it y,
< is not our delign to destroy the dark ten
Machiavelian policy, which has various times v
cither broken or stretched out the links of
negociation. May the two powers, united ot
with principles and intentions, acceleiate f 0
the general peace.
But as the demon of war still continues
,to assassinate us with his impure breath, it
is neciiffarythat our present situation (hpuld a ,
be contidered. tl:
. Neutral nations alone poffcls our exterior ig
commerce; without those we (houldl be in
want of the greatest necessaries. Within y
two years they have filled our ports and
brought in plenty. The French have lent
their flag, by which they have peaceably
navigated every sea. ti
Our allies, the Americans, had preferv- t!
Ed them every reciprocal advantage of our y
treaty of friendftiip of 1778. AH our mar- ']
itime rules were wounded befsre this solemn I
contrast. The. tribunals have never thole d
laws which were made for them, as a rule t
■for their decifiont. Since the commence- p
ment of the war, government has never or- c
dained that they (hould be blended with the v
other neutral 1
At length denounced by 1
citizen Pal Wet, of the 12th V-n- ,
tofe, as being unconptutional, appeared \
without being submitted to you; and as ,
soon a* a swarm of privateers had .alien up- 1
on American veflels, without even sparing ]
those bound to France, we have prevent- ,
«d their navigation; we have brought them ]
into our ports; they have been had before 1
the Tribunal; where they have: been denoun- ,
ced as being under the disguise of Engltlh;
they have been declared as legal prize, not
because their.papers did not prove their neu
trality ; but, because they had not the Role
d'Equipage.* . .
Nevertheless the Americans arc only
bound to (hew a passport—we have never
seen them in our ports with a Role, becaule
that was never regarded as of utility. In a
word they have been confifcafted under a for
mal pretext, »to which every other nation
has. been constantly fubjeft, and in which
tb<y have cier bteu exculpated.
I Citizen representative;!, it is time to put a E
stop to this disastrous abuse of trade, for it h
is easy to prove to you,that thefeAmericans, h
which the pirates call English, are friends ai
who carry to France provisions which belong ft
not only to neutral nations, but even to the o
French. Therefore the pirates whS dare o
address you with petitions in the name of h
the merchants of our ports, who secret them- i«
selves, have the audacity to pillage the pro- C
perly from our citi zens, or at least from ti
their good friends. The result of these pi- tl
ratical tranfaftions will be, that we dial) be fa
deprived of their assistance. ai
These corsairs, who the name of ! ce
fitting out veflels, and of being merchants, fft
are no other than vile aggreflors against com- i at
merce, for the honest merchants have refufed ee
those kind of voyages since piracies have ft
become the trade. di
The reason why a drtad is spread atriong ai
the commercial people is, tfia't the' English : tf
iir/agine we force the friendfliip of the Ame- j ai
ricans, and that neceflity inclines us to otlier ' fc
neutrals, who begin to follow our example, j 01
They stop every, neutral veflel they meet ; ' bi
they seize their cargoes, and confifcate up- : ai
on the (lighted suspicion those vfhich are w
bound to France. The EngliSi frigates jTa
which block -«up our ports, drive off the > p
greater part of neutral veflels which come in- 1 ai
to our bays. If we persevere in our (yftem jee
ofinjuftice ngainft the Americans, we might j c;
exp«& the Englifli would imitate us against ; 01
others, and we (hould be exposed to the ! F
want of every thing, and the French com- ja*
merce would be totally I w
If your commifllon is not yet in readiness p
to report on the decree of 12 Ventofe,we beg ti
of you, citizen* representatives, as an urgent d
and eflcntial matter, provilionally to suspend j ri
the falcs and proceedings against the Ame- ] g
ricans. This plan will not injure the right j U
of p 1 ivateers, if any there are, if there arc- , o
none, (he wili dispose of the public tr«afure ft
'to their interests, and indeunification which f<
may h»ve been repeated against the Ameri- h

ir which was burnt in Five Fathom Hole on
r- Tuesday morning, the 17th instant, by a
n French privateer or pirate, arrived yefter
e day in town, in Mr. Taylor's canoe, from
le Stono, where they had been landed by the
:• pirates who had destroyed the veflel. An
r- opportunity offers at the fame time, which
ie we (hall readily embrace (as it is not proba
ble rtiany such will occur) of greeting the
iy humanity of pirates who spared the lives
i- which they had power to take. It would
:d have been much too sanguine, to have ex
»s pefted their outrages to have been limited
p- to plundering, burning and destroying the
ig property of their enemies, prote&ed by
t- the neutrality of our port: —we do there
in fore moll heartily congratulate them, for
re the violence done to their natural inclinati
n- ons.
t»; The following deposition of capt. Story,
ot made before col. John Mitchell, dates con
u- cifely their fraternal a£ts after having poffef
le fion of the Aracabeffa.

Jr- for London, He frtet with severe gales of
on wind, by which he loft his main and mizen
ch mad, and sprung a leak ; that being in great
distress off the harbour of Charleston, the
Bricilh consul, haying had information of ha
his situation, sent or seven men to alfift th
him and enable him to get over the bar, gu
and up to Cliarlefton to repair the said vef- sri
fel ; that after several days lying at anchor , C:
off the bar, on Friday afternoon, the 13th ! th
of this instant, O&ober, he got over the m(

Charleston afore said.; the wind being con- tin
j trary he could not proceed up to the city ; wi
that on Monday evening, the 16th of the frc
said month, about fun-down, he saw a small ex
armed schooner come over the bar, and foi
| come to anchor to the N. N. W. of said wi
i (hip, but (hewed no colours ; that immedi- j in
i ately after, the said armed schooner weigh- . pi;
ed anchor, and came close up under their ; vie
(larboard quarter, came to anchor, and or- ho
dered him to hoist out his boat ; but on hit ch

! ordered the deponent, with liis papers, on ' ly
' board the said schooner, and carried him mt
: and one man on board, and sent the boat !
with four or five armed men on board the 2(j
said (hip ; that whi?n he got on board he fcl
perceived two carriage-guns, but the small M
1 arms were concealed from hrtn ; that he a(k- as;
]ed the name of the said schooner and the ve
; captain's, but they refufed to inform him ; wi
• one of the men said (lie carae from Cape th
" Francois, and was a Frencl} privateer : that flu
'as soon as the boat went the second time T
I with men on board, he saw them begin to pc
plunder the vessel and cargo, and they eon- de
tinued to do so till eight o'clock on Tuef- P
day morning ; that they brought as much an
1 rum and sugar of the cargo, and the rig- te
i g"'g and fails of the vessel, as they could tit
J (low in the said privateer; that at nine di
I o'clock they cut the cables of the 'aid lit
(hip Aracabeffa, and set her on fire in four lit
several places, viz. fore, main and after ; th
hatchway, and io the gun room ; the (hip j fe
then drifted on the "breakers near the ' fc
after which the captain ojf the said privateer 111
told him he had fifty men on board, but tl
would not tell his or the yeflel's name, also ft
said that the captain of a British frigate had w
burned a privateer he commanded, in Hamp- 1
ton roads, and for that reason he burned the b
(hip, but could he have carried her off he tr
would have done it j. that the deponent re- n
ceivcd part of his clothes in a bag, and re- »
ccived no personal bad treatment himfelf or c
crew ; immediately after set ting fire to the tl
(hip the privateer weighed anchor, got over li
the bar, and went into Stono Inlet, and a
landed him with 15 men on the beach, being n
the whole number on board the (hip when t

him that some of the privateerfmen were t
eitherEnglilh, Iri(h, or Americans as they c
spoke and understood the Engli(h language c
—that it was impossible to learn either the \
name of the privateer or the captain, or from j
whence (he came : (he was a fmaJl pilot boat \
Sf 25 or 30 tons, had two fix pounders t
mounted, and was said to have come from f

The seaman whowas firft carried on board •>
the privateer with capt. Storey, is one of
the men who was sent Yrom this city as ?n
aififtant, and informs that he saw on board
the privateer, a tall, thin man of a brown
complexion, whom be has frequently fcen
in this city, and who was ouce a pilot out 5

wife. 1
Mr. Minot who went down in a schooner
to lighten the (hip, was also on board when ,

C thes city came passenger, from whom we
n received the following :
h Arrived at the Cape on the 12 th day of
i- from Gonaives, a port within the
ie bite of Leogane, after eroding the moun
ts tains of St. Domingo : when Mr. G. left
Id Gonaives, there were little or no business to
£- be done, on account of the market being
:d glutted, from the number of American vef
>e fels, tound to English, Spanish or French
>y ports, taken by French and Spanish cruis
e- ers, brought into the above port, and declar
er ed good prires. Mr. G. during his (lay of
:i- fourteen days at Gonaives, was daily a wit
ness to the sale of American vefftls and car
y> goes, eight out of ten of whom were taken
n- bound to French ports ; he heard wth pain
if- the sale of those vessels, the day previous,
announced to the town by the public cryer ;
the pretext for condemning those vessels is
■a- a want of papers, which the captains of pri
vateers take care to" destroy the instant they
[J- b'card a vessel. During his day at the
nd Cape, the brig Sophia, capt. Baily, arrived
of there from Porto Rico—(he is a brig in the
:en fcrvice of the United States, sent out to
sat the Weft-Indies to aflift our poor unfortu
•be r.tte countrymen, a number of Whom, after
• having had their vessels tafcen from them,
' the captain informed Mr. G. he found lan
guishing in jails, and without money or S!<
friends : on capt. Baily's arrival at the
Cap*', he immediately made application to Sn
the French commiflioners, Pascal and Ray
mond, for the state of AtVn-rican seamen at Br
the Cape ; capt; B. told Mr. G. that after Sc
having made known to the above citizens Sic
the purport of his million, they treated him
with the ntmoft ;nfolencc and contempt,
from which treatment he had vary little .to Ba
expeft ; he intended to fail in a few days' Sit
for St. Jago in Cuba. An immediate war
with America, was viTy generally spoken of
in St. Domingo, when Mr. G. left that Sic
place, and from the-conduft of every indi
vidual, either in or out of office, the most
hostile in tcntions were'eafily difctrned. The Ri
change in their corr.miffioners, from Santho- i6tl
n3x to Pascal and Raymond, has made 110 ("d
alteration in favor of the United States. the
Commodore Barney's Vefignation of his com- o
mand, under the French Republic, was hour- ult
ly expe&cd, being disgusted with the treat- wi
ment of Americans. t in
Mr. J. W. Giles left this place on the he
29th August, bound to Gonaives, 'in the
fchiy Somerset, capt. Stevens; the mate, he
Mr. Defhield, died with the yellow fever,
after having been five days at sea ; the abo'ie CI
vessel experienced a most dreadful gale of*
wind in the latitude of Bermudas; fhemadc L
the Weft Caycoson the 19th' Sept. where th
(lie wa3 boarded by the Briliih frigate
Thames, and although bound for a French
port, permitted to depart without one hour's
detention ; (he was again boarded by the
Pel 1 an Br'tifh f!o >p of war, of the Mole,
and treated as before. The Somerset's wa- w:
ter being spoiled on the paflage, the capt. of 2C
the (loop supplied him with good water ; di
during the examination of our papers, the ns
lieutenant informed Mr. Giles, that the Pe- lc
lican had had a very severe engagement with df
I the French armed brig the Trompeufe, a la
I few days before, they were of the lame m
' force, which lafled one hour and twenty mi- re
[ nutes, at which time the French brig, from w
the quantity of {hot received in her hull, lo
funk. The Somerset, on aceojut of head |Ol
winds, was d«tained fix -days in the Bite of 2<
Leogane—(he was boarded off the Platform IS
by two brigand boats, under French com- tl
millions ; those boats Mr. G informs, were K
manned by not less than fifty pirates, black, f{
white and yellow, not one of whom could be i
compared, with refpeft to appearance, with
tht word of our wheel-barrow men , the on- le
ly arms 011 board these boats were, in one
a small swivel, and in the other an old rusty t<
musket ; they all however, wore daggers in
their belts ; we could hear them coming at
a great distance, the noise of their oars keep- n
ing concert with the most savage yell; their
firft salutation was a (hot immediately at us I
from their swivel, and the words, " heave I
too you damned rascals j" when they came <
along fide, they all boarded the schooner,
entered the cabin, and began eating, drink
ing, destroying and Healing every thing
they could lay their fingers on ; mothing
could bear a stronger resemblance to a feaft
of savage canibals, than the one Mr. G.
was then witness to ; they kept forcible
poffeflion of the fcheoner for 12 hours, after
which time, having destroyed almost every
thing, and fearing a visit from the Britifli
from the Mole, they left us to continue
our course to Gonaives.
