Charles Stuisrt, arrived this after noon ;it the office of the right hon. Henry . pundas, one of Lis roajefly's principal se cretaries of Rate, with a di(patch from the general, of which the following is a copy. Cindadclla, Nov. 18. SIK, 1 have the honor to acquaint you, that ' his majifly's forces are in pofleffion of the isl and of Minorca, without having fudakied the loss of a (ingle man. As neither commodore Duckworth or myfelf could procure any ufeful information relative to the objed of the expedition at Gibraltar, it was judged advifeable to dis patch the IVterelt sloop of war to cruise off the hatborof Mahon-for intelligence ; where after remaining a fcw dais (he joined the fleet near the Colombritcs, without having trade any efftntjal discovery. So circum famcrd, it was agreed to attempt a descent j in the bay t>f Addaya, and tlie wind prov- ' ingfavorable on the 7th inft. a feint was naadeliy the 11 lie of battle fliips at Fornelles, and boats were affemblea for that purpttfe under the direction of capt. Bowcn, capt. ' Polden, and capt. Pref»land : previous to the landing of the troops, a (mall battery at the entrance of the bay was evacuated, the magazines blown up, the guns spiked, and) Jhortly after the diviflon, confiding of! 800 men, was on (We. A considerable ex- ! plosion to the weftwara "indicated that the ' Spaniards had also abandoned the works at Force lies. Nearly at the fame moment 1 2,0000 ft!." enemy's troops approached in I Su'eiyd different and threatened to fi'rround this inconliderable force, but were repulsed with some loss on the left, ■while the guns of .the Argo checked a simi lar attempt on the right flank; and the p«ft was maintained until the debarkation of the different divisions afforded the means of ef tablifliing a position from whence the ene my's troops would have been attacked with csnfiderable advantage ad they not retired in the beginning of the night. The rtren jth of the ground, the partes and the badness of the roads, in Minorca, are ! scarcely to be equalled in the mod mountain ous parts of Europe ; and what increased the difficulty of advancingupou this occasion was the dearth of intelligence, for although 1 near a hundred deserters had come in from thf Swift regiments, and affirmed that the remaining force upon the island exceeded ( 4,000 men, no particular account of the ene- 1 my's movements was obtained. Under this 1 uncertainty, it was for a few minutes doubt- 1 ful what meafiires to pursue, but as quickly determined to proceed by a forced march to Mercadet, and thereby separate the enemy force by poffelfing that eflential pass, in the firft inflance, and f rom m^nnicing' upon his principal communication to either / extremity of the island, jufllv depending up- ' on commodore Duckworth's zeal and exerti- ; on, to forward from Addaya and Fornelles J such luppiifs of pjovilions and ordnance j ftures asmight favour fubiequent operations, i To effect this operation, colonel Graham was sent with f'.oo men, and by great exerti- < ens arriveS at M ircadel a few hours after the 1 main fcrce of the enemy had marched to- j wards Cuidclla, making several officers and i soldiers pi ifoners, lei zing various small ma- f gazir.es, and establishing his torps in front J of the village. The persevering- labour of 150 seamen un der the direction of lieutenant Buchannan, luring the night, having greatly a Sifted the artillery in forwarding the battali n guns, the army arrived at Mercadel on the 9th, where, learning that Mellon was nearly eva cuated, a difpofitiort was instantly made to 1 operate with the whole force in that diredti on, and colonel Paget detached under this movement with 300 men to take possession J of the town ; upon his arrival he summoned fort Charles to surrender, and made the j lieutenant governor ef the island, a colonel of artillery, and 160 men, prisoners of war, , removed the boom obftru&ing the entrance oi the harbour, and gave free passage to the 3 Cormorant and Aurora frigates, which were ' , previously sent by commodore Duckworth to t ° make a diversion off that port. j, Rut these were not the only advantages fl immediately refultitig from this movement, it favored deiertion, interfcepted all stragglers, 11 >nd enabled the different departments of the 1 krmy to proenre beads of burthen for the further progress of his ma jetty's arms. Having ascertained that the enemy's troops *ere throwing up works and entrenching tliemfelves in front of Cindadelli it was re folycd to force their position on the night of tiie rjth. instant, and preparatory to this at- 1 tai pt, colonel Paget wrth 200 men was 1 withdrawn from Mahon ; colonel Moncrief £ *as sent forward with a detachment to Feva r>as three light 12 pounders anda'five and a v had inch howitzer and 90 marines landed c ti'om the fleet ; when in consequence of its " Having been communicated to commodore I'eckv.'orth. that four fliips. f jppofed of tie ''He, were seen between Majorca and Minor- n i:3 > fleering toward, the lad mentioned island, v li" decided to pursue them, rrqueded that ' tfie itamen and marines might re-embark, ' »nd {-(jnified his determination of proceed- a w >'-b all the armed transports to sea ; > the serious confe'c.uences which reiult to the army from the (mailed b k la;' on ;he one hand, and the advantages f reafotiably expefted fi 01,11 a spirited at 'atk on the otht r, it was thought advifeable retain them with the army ; and, 011 the P 'sth mdant the whole force marched to Al- 8 P' i:and from thence proceeded on the r'Jth 1 J«pot, coio;-,el Mancrivf's detachment v 'ing in a parallel line on the Ferarias road t Garaba, \ ine precautions and the anjiearance of a columns appioachihg the towii, induced d a»d in Uk evening of the'r' 01 ludaiie,la ; detachment „2 fl a rm: '» whereby the army v-* 'h Y Q^art = T bus dationed, in want of heavy artillfrv and every article neceflary for a iiegc, wZ articW x rUrro,,t Er ; and the Preliminary ar W oT'tT lninie ' c 'y eonbdered ; doubt, the Lrf / art thC whether to the °' Ce Was fu P rilor in "umber 0 the fiii/ifpn, two batteries of three 12 pounders, and three five and a half inch how itzeri were erefted in the course of the sol lowing night wuhin 800 yards of the troops formed inprder of battle conliderably Jo the ° Kane ' s Koad,leaving thepicq.uets to and This line, partly real and , i mao .: na . ry, extended four miles in front of the ene my s latteries, from whence two 18 pound £l° r r v Hn r atei)r f,,rd h. at a tunely parky, and the distant ap pea'ar.ee of the squadron, oecafioned the cefr 2°" f. h ° ftl ! ,t,es ' »nd renewed a negocia fieile, al c t ron ff h the address of major gene.al Sir James St. Clair ErJkine termin »t din the annexed capitulation. out-weeks fait provisions for the garrison, beijdes the .enclosed lid of the ordnance dellT' WCre the tOWn of Cin da- 1 lie affidance received from commodore Duckworth in forwarding the light artille ry and provifiom, greatly facilitated the ra pid movements of the army ; and I am hap py in the opportunity of declaring my obli gatioas t° Lord Mark Kerr, and captain Caulheld ; for the fupphes they sent from Mahon, and their exertions to land two mortars which in the event ef further rei'ft ance, might have proved ofrthe utmost im portance inlecuring thearmy, or compelling the enemy to surrender.

AMONGST fruit trees, the superiority of-thc tine is univerfallyacknowledged, and the reafsn why there are so few, and why i those few btar so iittle fruit, is, that the plants are not properly cultivated.

The fubferiber, who has to remain some days in the city, will with plea sure prune the vines ( gratis) of any gentle man who will accept of his services, and who will fend his address to him at Mr. Moutea's, No. 27, Sugar alley His loßg experience in the culture of the vine, and the extraordinary fnccefs of' his vine yard at spring mill, mull he imagines, be a fiifficient affuraficp, that tbi3 ineliima ble plant can never fuller under his hands.

AN accou t is given, though not with official signatures, of the affafiination of Buenaparte and his council of French offi cers. A large proportion of mankind would rejoice to have these disturbers of nations put into " everla/l'tng sleep." the evants of the present time will serve to demonstrate to the common sense of mankind, that " the triumphs of liberty are seldom, if ever, tljofe of the sword !" The French army in Italy has upon almoil all the property, houses, eflates, &c. of the Romans, which they claim as the right ofconqueft. This is the uniform fruit of modern equality, liberty and the tmprefcrip tille rights of man. What an excellent spe cimen of freedom ! free from property, their own industry had free to despair, to die! When the FrendS entered Alexandria in Egypt, to /how great friendllrip to its inhab itants, Buonaparte delivered up the" city to pillage and maflacre for "the fpacc of four hours only! What a merciful and fraternal aft this ! To be murdered and robbed for the short period offour hours only, when the geuerous Sansculottes might have indulged themfelvi 3 in this favorite emphymeut as many diytor -weds ! There is do doubt the French are as good friends to the United States as they are to Italy, Egypt, Switzerland, Venice &c. What pity our government is not willing a French army (hould i vade this country ! Such cities as New-York, Boftcn, and Philadelphia would be delivered up to. Cvurder, rob ery a;id tavilh rent not m >re 'than the period of a week, a me e point ot duration! If the fcoufes and estates of our farmers fh >uld be fold, in the jultice of the magnanimous nation, in return tliey would be taught polite arts of dancing and good breeding and singing ca'ira ! The conqutit of this country is thus viewed by our patri otic democrats, as a kind of commercial treaty, by which the staple commodities of the Unifed States, fnch as independence, proper y, order, morality and virtue will be exchanged for the staple of the French Re public, such as slavery, mafTacre, politeness, anarchy, bienfeapce, licentiousness, theabufe of this life and the difbelief of another 1 The French have declared war againfl the kings of the two Sicilies and Sardinia. No doubt, this drclaratic.n originated in bo wels of mercies, in love of jultice and in the moll sincere defir.s for peace ! The discern mest of the Directory ought to be'com mended ; for they forefee that an exterior war is a much !efsevi!th;ina civil one.Scarce ly ever was there a nation before, which dres ded the return ps external prace, a3 the grea test calamity whi.ch.coHid befal it ! _ Spain fee me to be in a situation ftmilarto that, which precede j the French revolution.
