Ryal arrived here froin lo bago, with the agreeable news of the capture ot that island. Weharve been favored with the following particulars by Col. Bailiie. On Sunday the 14th, at 2 o'clock, a signal was made that an enemy s fleet was off Courland, and in about an hour afterwards the Trulty, and the other veflcls in the squadron came to anchor in the bay. Gen. Cuyler immediately landed with the troops consisting of 35® men i and marched direcftly to Cinnamon hill, where he halted,and dispatched a flag of truce to the fort, to demand the surrender of the island. The governor returned for answer, that they would hold out to the last ex tremity. It was then determined to carry the hill by storm, and the recefl'ary preparation being made, the troops marched at one o'clock on Monday morning, taking the road through the town of Port-Louis. They were formed in two columns, the one under the immediate com mand of the General, the other led by Major Gordon of the 60th. The (iring began about 2 o'clock, and continued obstinate lor about three quarters ot an hour, when Ma jor Gordon with the light infantry entered the fort and made hinifelf completely master of the hill. At day-light the capture was an nounced by holding the Union flag, and firing the morning gun. All accounts agree in bellowing the highest encomiums on the cool and determined courage manifefted by the British troops on the orcafion ; and the conduct of Major Gordon in preventing the (laughter that al most unavoidably follows a (lorm, refletfts equal honor on his own hu manity and the difciplir.e of the troops he commanded. In addition to the above account, we are informed that there were near 300 men in the Fort at the time of the aflault ; that seven of the as sailants were killed ; and a few wonnded ; among the latter are Gen. Cuyler ( flightly) and Lieute nant Geyer of the 67th, who joined the expedition at Barbadoes as a vo lunteer. Philadelphia, May 22.

It is difficult to express thi? fa- . tisfaftion the people have (hewn at this change of* things ; almolt all the inhabitants were on his paifuge, and the air echoed with redoubled (hours. The Archduke repaired to the church of St. Gudule, where I e Deum was sung by way of thanksgiving- From thence the Prince patTed through the princi pal quarters of the city, and every where re ceived unequivocal marks of the joy of the Brabanters. At last having repaired to the Hotel of the Duke D'Ahrearby, the wine ot honor was presented to his Royal Highness, and at night there wai a grand illumination. Yesterday a courier arrived here from Vien na, who brought to the Archduke the pa tent of Governor and Captain General ot the Netherlands.

The following articles are from London Papers to . the 6th of April, brought bv the Puckct. STATE PAPER; Declaration of the King of Prutlia, refpefting his taking poflcflion of the city of Dantzig, and the territory belonging to it. THE fame reatons which induced his raa jefty, the King of Prullia, to order part of -his troops to march into some of the diftri&s of Great Poland, lay him under the neccflity to secure the city of Dantzig and the territory be longing thereto. For besides that this city ne ver has a£ted for a number of years past, like a good neighbor towards the kingdom of Pruf fis, it is now become the rendezvous of a wick ed and cruel band, who heap tranfgreflion up on tranfgreflion, and who try by the afliftance of their deff*icable abettors to spread themfeives on al! fides. One of these villains, after having attempted in vain to Ipread his poisonous prin ciples, among a happ\ and faithful nation, has found nevertheless a free and public asylum in the city ot Dantzig ; and it was only by the mod urgent reprefenta; ions that hecould be ob tained from his prote&ors. Thi.« last instance, together with the numerous abuses ot a ifiiU construed liberty, and the great connexion which fubfi(l> between the faction in France and Poland, and a certain party, which by itibans of the impudcnce ot their principle*, have gain ed a certain fupeiiority above the moO ot the well-meaning part ot the citizens, and finally the great ease wherewith these conspirators pro cure all kinds of neccflanes, but efpeoally grains at Dantzig, by the help of their abettors are taken colli 6lively, as objects which have drawn the attention ot the King towards this city, and have obliged him to keep them with in the bounds of jutiice, and provide thereby for the fafeiy and peace of the adjoining Pruf f*m provinces.

'* Friday last a deputation from the French Benevolent Society eftablillied in this city waited upon cirizen Genet with an add reft, of which the following is a tranilation : Citizen Minijler of the French Republic. The French citizens and citizens of the United States defceudants of French, refilling in Philadelphia, hasten to prelent this mark of their attachment to the nation you of their zeal for the cause of liberty and equa lity, and of their personal regard. Many of us attracted by tbe innate love of liberty, when France still smarted under the rod ofdefpotifm, fought and found an asylum in this happy country, then the cradle of in fant equality. The cordial reception from our new fellow-citizens, the close connec tions and pleasing habits contracted among them, have rendered America a native home. But in becoming Americans, they have not ceased to be Frenchmen ; for no individual can be more intimately conne&ed with either, than the two, nations are with each other. The French citizen who has become affiliated to the American nation, and the citizen of the United States whom France has adopted have thereby only strengthened the ties of connex ion. An union cemented by the blood of the ci tizens of both nations, and founded on so so lid a basis as similarity of sentiment and prin ciple, is formed to resist the most violent ef forts of those whose interest it might be to difhirt) it : for liberty tends to unite men, as does despotism to divide and destroy them. The million with tohich you are charged, imposes on you the most agreeable duties, since it is committed to you to give and re ceive the afTurance and testimony of so sincere a f-iendlhip and so fraternal a union. will co-operate a 1; far as in our power 10 maintain so precious a fraternity and pre vent the enemies of liberty from giving it disturbance. Permit us on this occasion, as individuals and Frenchmen, to pay to our brethren of the United States the tribute of gratitude which their conduct towards us so jiiftly claims. We were strangers among them and they treated us as brothers ; they have been prodigal of the attentions and afliftance, which our situation required, and endeavored to make us forget, that we d d not owe our birth to a common country.—Throughout the whole extent of the American empiie our countrymen have experienced the effects of the f.tine benevolent spirit. Every where the citizens have been anxious to cfcetilh and the governments to protest tliem. It would be the heighth of ingratitude in us not to avail ourfelvesof fo'favorable ait opportunity of publicly exptelEng the extent of t>ur grati tude. Accept, citizen, our ardent wiflics for the Cuccefi of the glßr'tou? caule of which FraJiqp hat declared berfelf the support. We hope, that bv her generous efforts 1 berty Will soon be trindijj'iaiit tbrougijout ihe in spite of the enormous combination of despots and flaveswho wish to annihilate it. We felicitate ourselves in finding in you a citizen who has deserved well of his country, and who teaches Us to hope that he will ac quire a new claim to her gratitude. (Signed) By order, P. 3.
