LONDON, June 18.
ON Monday night at a late hour, Mr.
Bafilico, and Mr. Mason arrived with dif
jpatches from the Duke of York, these mes
sengers were sent dff at different times,;
•biffitley both came ov'e r.:r ,
- kef. The tjc c ,-t hr 'the c
r inefi'tngtrs is ex'ren.Jy .iaiming. 1j:
accounts of the auerupis. made
( by the Duke of Yerk and General Ciair- m<
j fait to relieve , Y pre* are confirmed to the
r full extent; the French hive brought
- 400,000 to bear upon the Flanders frontier on
e and no power which the allies have to op- w '
1 pose is ecual to the conflitt.

The short-letter publilhe.i in the Gazette^,.
of last night is all that government have Q
[Y communicated 011 the lubjeil ; but it was of
J generally believed yesterday that they had
'certain, though not official, accounts of cl
j* [he fall of Ypres, or at leall that its fall
was unavoidable. Gen. Clairfait fonght
s with his usual bravery and his ufiial mis-hi
fortiiiie. A vast ifumber of men have fal-h'
* !en, and the whole armv his co n
1 inand have been harafied and exhausted* ra
vv
The fall of Ypres neceiTarily exposes Bru
" ges and Oftend. Thus inllead of an of- p
fenfive campaign in the fields of France, dl
, r the allies are reduced to the fad and unpro-C
is Stable talk of defending Flanders, and it r "
*- is even no v a doubtful point whether they

will be able to keep their ground in that
country.

!n MONDAY the ;th July, at ir o'clock
of n the morning, arrived at Fort Dauphin a
no jjVinifll Friar escorted by 6 gu'des, com
n\ ,ig from Laxabou (afinal! borough at 4
o 'f eagues distance from Fcrt Dauphin) : le
ve'ral persons enquired what news he
wrought; h« answered none, and laid all 1
c " vas very fafe. About an hour after Jean j'
lat Francois (general of the banditti, who hasp
"5) always been upon good terms with the ,
>U, Spaniards)and l)enjaniin his firft capiain,
to entered the city with 5 or 600 negroes,
,;[] and 50 mounted on horleback, in that'
to juurttber there were about 400 armed with,'
Iguns, the others had only swords and|
'°|cudgel». When they arrived upon the 1
m-'marketi Jean Francois ordered to kill with—
ofjout difUndlion all the French white people. |
)n- No l'ooner svas the order given, when the
la t banditti separated in all the streets of the
l ity, but ttie greatest part afl'embltd upon 1
the sea fide, where a great number of white '
! " people had met together without arms to
""get on. board the veflels that were in rhej
mt ijay ; but in vain, they were all maflacred
en-without mercy ; while the fame scene was
a (fled in the different parts of the city.—!.
this horrible slaughter lasted till 6 or 7'
o'clock at night. Though a great number,
were killed in their houses during the night.!
ef. A few days after, the account of "the
idead was given to one Dupiniois, who
'adls as secretary to Jean Francois, amount-'
'ing to 742. Amongst whom were three
women, not including a great number
that have been drowned. '1 here was at
the time at Fort Dauphin 7 or 800 regular!
troops, some of them were even under
arms upon the market place, behold.ng
with indifference that horrible slaughter,
and used to fay loudly that is what th
French deserve. A few of the unha. y
IR vidims fled to the n, being pursued by the
. negroes, but the unfeeling Spaniards point
d their bayonets at them. The cry of
dJ those villains during the maffactt wis
, , Long live the King !I! 'The unhappy Le
J Ray Dumaine was killed by the Spaniards,
and Mr. Carabas who fVam to fav him
felf, and felled on the cable of a Spanish
(loop, was pursued by the crew with their; 1
oars*.
