NEW LONDON, August 8.
Tuesday last arrived here the
schooner Seaflower, Capt. j. Hurl
but, 16 dajs from Point-Petre, Gau
daloiipe, who relates the following
occurrence, which took place at the
Point on the 10th ult.—A dispute,
in cocft quence of a game at cards,
arising be'ween foine Ariltocrats,
who v ere in prison, the ceutinel at
the door commanded them to be
q'tiet, ii being his orders to prevent
any dilt urban re among them ; but
instead of judiciously complying
wj h this reafbnable demand, one
of theni ftized the mulket and for
ced it from the ceutinel, and gave
him abusive language ; one more
moderate, however, immediately
returned the gun. The centinel
after heing relieved informed so me
fiilors of whathad taken place, and
» large number soon colle<sied, seiz
ed two field pieces, whieh they pla
ced oppofiie to the building where
the Municipaliiy were then fitting,
a party then proceeded to the pri
foH, which they forced, and cut of
the heads of seven planters and a
pbyfician, sparing only the one
who had returned the gun. During
this time the general* was beat, and
the folaiers were immediately pa
raded ; but on being ordered to
march no one obeyed, fearing to
attack the sailors who were in great
force, a number of armed veflels be
ing at that time in the harbor.—
Happily no further violence was
committed.

We have ju(! learnt, that the in
habitants of Cam bridge on the East

committee of.correfpondence a very
liberal fuofcription through the,
hands of Mr. Murray, representative
to Congrefi, towards the relief of
the fufferers from Cape-Francois ;
and what adds greatly to the vajue :
of the donation, is the manner in
which it was conveyed :■ ■" W-e
would have been better pleased,
(they observe through Mr. Murray)
were the funi larger which we fettd
—accept it, small as it is, a&. fonsf
testimony from the citizens in and
about Cambridge of their fym paihy '
and good wishes in a business so tru

very oppressive to our fellow-citizens
of Baltimore." Such sympathy for

By the brig Molly, Capt. Morris, arrived
here from Madeira, which /he left the Bth ps

a frigate arrived at Madeira in nine days from
Falmouth, which brought"Eiiglilh newspapers

contained an account of a very bloody battle
having been fought near Lisle between the
combined armies and the French forces,
which terminated to the advantage of tb*
French ; and it is added that 17,000 men fell
in the combat.
Capt. Morris fays that this account was
believed at Madeira, and that he had con

papers containing tbe above intelligence.
We have seen a letter from Madeira of the
