FROM JAMAICA PAPERS. A letter of a recent date from Barbadoes, mentions thata confidersble number of troops have been sent from France to Cayenne, with some views, it is supposed, agitinft Demeraja ; but in order to defeat their purpose, a de tachment of 500 men has been sent frorfi Barbadoes to reinforce that ifettlement. The fame letter mentions that two French 44 gun (hips, and 12 flout privateers, have arrived at Guadaloupe from France. On their pas sage they captured an English Ihip, which was retaken and sent to Martinique. Since the departure of Viftor Hughes for France, Admiral Harvey has sent a cartel with a number of r.egroes on board that had beem taken from estates by him, to serve on board his privateers. The new governor of Guadaloupe has, on the receipt of them, sent them back to the proprietors they belong to, and allured Admiral Harvey, that such de scriptions of people would never be employ ed in the like manner in future. February 9. Extract of aletter from a gentleman in Bar- badoes, dated Dec. 10, 1798. M lam very sorry to inform you Ike French have landed a considerable number of troops at Cayenne, and also at Guadaloupe ; in their way they took a (hip and sent her for the latter place, which veflel was taken by one of our frigates and sent into Martinique ; (he gave a particular account. The frigate met two French 44's and a lugger, which gave her a broadside ; she immediately made the heft of her way to the Admiral, and in formed him thereof, and before any Veflels could be sent jfter them they got into Gua daloupe. It is feared that tbofe ships, and a veflel called L'Agrfeable, belonging to Mr Barton of this place, which they have cap tured and fitted out with 24 guns and 200 men, are now to the windward, and will 4o a deal of mifchief to our trade. To-morrow go/rom hence 300 troops to Demerara, as it is thought the French meditate an attack on that place, and it is supposed the troops at Guadaloupe intend to make an attack on some of our islands. Several other vessels have also been captured by the enemy and sent into Oronoque." Letters of the 18th December, found on lx>ard the Spanish Polacre, which arrived last week, state that Port Mahon in the isl and of Minorca, capitulated to the British forces on the 16th November, and that the garriforr marched out with the honors of war; also, that two Spanish frigates and a flcopof war were taken in the road. .The fame let ters mention, that the Directory had inform ed the Court of Spain, that any part taken by it in the meditated coalition against France would be coi.fidered as a declaration of war against the Republic.

By the repurt of a committee frojn the several counties, a refb lution corresponding with the above was en tered into. Our informant adds, that he had conven ed with Fries, who was one of the principals ofthrfe tr.ifgifide,d people, and that he de clared his determination to submit to the proper authorities. He also believes the fame determination was prevalent amongfYall who were at the meeting ; some of whom were from that part of Northampton where the greatest violence prevailed. He also fays, that Meflrs. Kern, Hart zell, and Coolbach are expe&ed in town this day, when we may expert to be more parti cularly informed of the procfedings of the meeting. [/Ime.

Was celebrated by a number of refpesta ble inhabitants of this town, and its vicinity, in a manner evincive of the firmeft attach ment to that venerable hero, whom the voice o f united millions will ever proclaim the SAVIOUR 01' MS COUNTRY. Not withstanding the inclement wintry iky, and the hoarse howlings of the mountain storm, a company ps artillery, under the command of captain Samuel Walker, handsomely equipped and completely uniformed, glad dened the eye of the true American, bv their martial appearance, and military manoeuvres. After proclaiming, by the cannon's mouth, the unrivalled merits of " Columbia's fa vorite Son," a " band of brothers," at the inn of Mr. Oliver C. Wyman,, partook of the feaft of Federalism. Here were joined veteran officers, and soldiers, who foughd the battles of American independence, offi cers, civil and military, and a bright con course of citizens, rejoicing in their Adams, their Washington and their country. Suc ceeding a choice collation of the best viands the fcafon affords, while every eye. beamed rapture, and the peal of hilarity, and but ft of applnufe responded every sentiment. The following patriotic Toasts were drank. 1. George Washington. May the arm of our Wafhihgton be~ierrible to traitors, as were the thunders of omnipotence to the a ret Democrat in heaven. JOHN HOLME, tu. til. fa. tf. diet %i>e (Bajette, PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 10. The accounts from Northampton, agreea bly to the befl information we have been able to obtain, are extremely contradi&ory. Let ters from that county, state, that Harwell, one of the persons abovementioned, having called a meeting of the rebels at Quaker T'own, on which occasion he exhorted them to submit to the laws, so far from having any influence over them, was violently in sulted. Blair MacClenachan, ci-devant member of Congress, has given notice to his creditors that he intends to take the benefit of the aft made for the relief of insolvent debtors. In Vermont, things are differently manag ed. If the publication in a newspaper of a notice to his creditors would cancel all his debts, Matthew Lyon, it is (aid, would re turn to his constituents. As affairs are at present, however, he prefers sojourning in Virginia, to being hemmed up in a Vergen nes' prison, with no more of the light of heaven than what is admitted by a half-moon cut in the door, and no society but Folnej's Ruins, j If the infurre&ion in Northampton is in reality subsiding, and its agents retiring to their (hells, wha;t is to follow ? Are the perpetrators of lb daring an outrage on the laws honor, and dignity of the government to escape with impunity ? Is the mere profef iion of a disposition to fubroit to t)*i laws in future, an atonement for their late violent infraction ? Fries, the present hero of revolt in Northampton county, it is laid, was for merly a vendue-crier in this city. It is afadt, that not one of those indivi duals who are so outrageous in their opposi tion to the house and land tax, in North ampton, have property taxable by that law ! From ibe Vergcnnes Gazette.
