On the 9th instant. arrived in lhis p.jr the fctiooner Adattjs, of Newbilfy-Purt, Ni cholas Pierce, Mailer, 111 28 day* from Cay entie, having 1 on board Citizen Rouilatenq chief administrator of the Navy, arid Citiza Paupe, as prisoners. Capi. Pierce relates that he was capture on hi-i pafTage from Ncwbury-Port to Stiri nam, by a French privateer, and carried in to Cayenne, where his vcffcl Jiid cargo wtr condemned ; that he afterwards purcbafed the vcflel, and received thafe two Frenc] C ittrens on board as paflVngere, to bi lande at Bartholomews; but apprehensive o! agai becoming a prize to a French pirate, fhyul 1 he touch at the Island, he concluded to con fult his swn fafety in the bed manner h could, and to proceed liraiglit for this con tinent. He represents the condurt of th French to the Americans cairied in Cayenn 1 as very feverc, and such as could not be ju (Ufiedeven if America was at open war will their nation ; and ftatea that (his Citizei Roullagnenq had in his official capacity been the inflrument fcf condemning his ve( fel and many others, and that the mod sri ' volous pretexts were made use oftojuflif; such proceedings. • The relation of Citizen dif fers materially from that of Capt Puft,; Me fays that after condemnation of th schooner, he himfelf purchased her for 3 a dollars, and agreed with the captain that hi should command her, and land him in >St Bartholomews, and on their arrival there have the vefiel for two thirds said purchaf money ; and that in consequence thereof, hi empowered capt. Pierce to take on board al the American prifonersin Cayenne, and pro vided the vefiel for the voyage ; that after they had got to sea, the captain took fron him the bill of sale of the veftel, one hundrec guineas in calk, great part of hi* own wear ing apparel, his gold watch, 3cc. and th( chief of the wearing apparel of his fellow passenger ; and inltead of touching at St Bartholomews accord ng to his engagement and landing them tSerc, brought them here as prifoneri. He does not deny that he wai the chief officer of the Admiralty Admim*. Ilration, but fays his conduct was conforms ble to the orders of his (?ovcrument, and that he should not be perfor.ally amenable in this country for it. Ou these two accounts we shall make na comment, as probably they will he a matter of legal investigation. These gentlemen hate been so obliging at to give us the following information; that one month previous to their embarkation arrived two French frigates, Plnfurgent and la Voluntaire, on board of which came pas sengers citizens Burnel, special *?eut of the Executive Dire&ory, for the Department of Cayenne, and Gen. Desfouraeaux, like wise special agent for the Island of Guada loupe ; the former to replace citizen Jeaunet, and the latter Vi&or Hague*. Theft T«ffels brought the account of the decree of the Executive -Directory, wEicH enjoins all French armed vefTels to relpecl neutral bottorua. Ift consequence of which, the Tribunal of Commerce that held for tri al an American brig, acknowledged the pro perty to be neutral, and did not pronounce the confiscation thereof. It was therefore expefted that the special agent who had no judicial authority to retain her, would order her to he rcleafed. The fame ceutlemen announce for certain that Gen. Desfourneaux, agent for Gua daloupe, intended on his arrival at that I sland, to dispatch to the Executive at Phi;- ladelpkia, a person properly au 1 horifed, to solicit an intcrcourfe and a renewal of trade between the United States and the French Windward Islands. He had already pitch ed, for that important miffi >n, on citizen Cheneau, formerly employed in the legation under citizen Adet. In regard to the local affairs of the Tflnnd of Cayenne, the proclamation lately iflucd, manifefU the firm resolution of citizen Bur. nel, for the maintenance of good order a mongst the black cultivators , he invites them to be assiduous to their labor under the pe nalty of Death—Lamortou le Travail.

' f The day before yesterday the deputation e empire determined upon their anfwrr to the French n.te, of which the- AuftriJ * note forms the balis, and indeed many of the -exprelWare the fame, and yesterday Z WfuJ plenipotentiary deluded it to Z French Ugation. Its principal contents a as tollows : rc A 1* deputat.on of the empire are un.Ki to explain how the French plenipotentiary! in their note of the 28th Odtober, i„ e to that ot tke deputation of the 17th 1 C confi " cti thjmfclve* to a general ref u f,|' 2 - not fat.sM with that, have even 1 that refulal w,thexpieflions and ii.finuatij 1 which at the moment of approaching concili . tion, mull neceffarUy be v untxp-ff" ■ - public diplomatic difculfions fcfctwe™ - powers treating for peace, and muti&ly re ° r fpechng each' other, they are unusual' Tf the deputation of the empire have bcen'un, - be to overleap difficulties which arose out of . the nature ot the cafe, at Uft.they ha* J = endeavoredl to protradt the hy the 3 mode of difcuflton, but rather by me 3„. „<• : d.fcuffion to cftablilh a fair bafisfor ckifion' . and as they have exerted themfel^ , particular manner to state every thin? in : clear point of view, and to avoid all dupheity | they could have willed to know the Ifc* 1 in their notes, in which the French £ n iL - U-ntianes .magine that they perceive iZ thingequivocal. Theydineft thei , ! L ° nly u P° n thof '' Fopofitions I which they ttemfelves conf.dcr Sht and . just, See. See. 0 ana r If, however, the French plenipotentuUes , now bey 111 to reproach the deputation of the empire, that they are not serious in the de , fire cf peace which they ever proofs; i t re ! qu.rcs only to glance over the prog'refs of , the pn-ceeding negcciations to form an ac curate eft i mate of what the deputation hive don<- to obtain peace ; after which no man can b Jie vc that such a charge could haw been ferioutly advanced. [Here follows an enV. meratioi> of the ucrifices made by the em pire, omitted ia the papers come to hand.: Greater fieri Gees 110 nation which is de li roii> ot remaining free, independent, and lupported by its own power, could make to lilch conceflions an ! conditions no nation that was not attuated by the most lively de lire of peace, as a period' to the fuffcringstf mankind, could have coufented. Upon what can the reproach, that the deputation arc averse to peace, be founded ? Can it be that they have to take upon them the debts of municipal bodies on the right bank of the Rhine—in fact mure private debts, which even the French republic does not confidtr as public debt, and ol which, in future, it 1 L th.: j nr.ripai erf- I aitor : Or is the charge; founded upon their propol.il, that thole men who hitherto weft German citizens fhculd not be treated as 1" rench emigrants ; th.it thole men who have been reduced to urilery. by the war, llioald not be rendered Itill more miserable by a , peace ? Ihe German empire will sacredly ; obltrve the articles of peace that mav be concluded. Conditions, hovever, which are eHentially inconsistent with the basis of peace originally laid down, because they, in faift, extend the pretenliojis of the French o>y all the right bunk c£ the Rhine—Con ditions which are incompatible with tbe na tional honor of Germany, which involve thr ruin of the citizens of Germany; which bring its political exigence into danger—conditions which engage the German people to some thing equivalent toa standing tribute ; which would consequently paralyle all its powers c! production, annihilate all its national force—l'uch conditions'which, in fait, it is impoifible to fulfil, the deputation cannot, and nmfl not accept. To them the interfft ot Germany has been entailed, their duty, prescribes to tkm in their most.une quivocal tlelire of peace not to delcend to conditions ot luch a nature. These duties thole ot justice and integrity—it is which the deputation have cxprefTed in the contents, of their lad no(e. The conditions which in terest so many unfortunate and ruined in dividuals, concern no ccllions of territory, no arrangements o.f boundary, no commer cial advantages, hut they concern the rights, tne property, the happinels, nay the life it lelf ol German fubjeCts. The national dig nity has imposed it as a law upon the depu tation, to speak. The deputation demand nothing but what, in every peace, in ever)' fellufti ol territory, by thr general law of nations, it has been ufua'Jto stipulate. 1 he deputation arc convinced that jhe sen timents contained in their former note, as well as the observations in the prefent,.they may lubmit without anxiety to their c'otem poraries and to pofieritv. They still hrowev er rely with jSnn confidence upon the justice and good intentions of the French govern ment, that these oMcrvations ill theßiftlvrS so well founded, will make a deep impreflioa on the minds of the French pl.nipotentiari ' and that the latter, in the conviftion that the deputation have done their utmofttoet fe£t a complete conciliation, will no longer refute to declare thtmfelves in a fatisfaiftory and conciliatory manner upon the whole oC the proposals contained in the note of jhe 17th of October. The second answer of the deputation of the empire regards the fortrefs of Ehrenbreiv ftcin, the reviftualing of which they' de mand in the moftexprefs terms. November 8.

Tjie following are its principal con tents : ' The miniltcr plenipotentiary of his Prm lia.i majesty can by no means approve ftatemcnts in the French note of Oflober
