to contemptible effect so that the Bri
tifii dared not to assault the fort. At
two o'clock the fire of the enemy was
suddenly silenced, and they were seen,
ft ruck with a panic, flying in every di
rection to the place of their landing.
Such gn immense quantity of baggage
and ammunition was left 011 Morne Mas
cot, that the French could hardly in
three days, with all fheir hands, secure
it in the (lores. They were too much
weakened to endeavour to dislodge the
*nemy out of Gozier ; the sth and 6th
ensuing they were rid of them, fudden
lv ; the (hatteretl remains'of the British
colonial troops and fore hearted royalists
(et fail and abandoned again Grande
Terre to the tri-coioured flag.
It is impofliblc to do jufiice to men
who so inferior in number, iooo men,
so dellitute of means, and with two fri
gates only dared to withstand an enemy
strong as the British were. Officers,
fe'-diers, stud sailors pretended to no fa
vour hut to be placed in the muit perilous
Nations. The blacks (hewed themselves
worthy of the decree which restores
them to mankind and foeiety, from
which nothing but an unrefle&ing thirit
of riches and kingly government could
hare fevered them.
The French at the date of our lad
accounts were in full confidence that
they will soon drive out of. the island the
rt-mainder of the BritHh, who appeal
destined to meet m all quarters the pu

Yesterday an account was received in

Pery, Baron Glentworth; and Bishop of

on Friday evening. He is succeeded in his
title and estates by his eldest son, Ed.

was one of the Reprefetitatives iri Parlia

Extract of a tetter from Limerick,
July 6.
" In confeqncnce of the death of the
Lord Bishop of this diocese, his son, one
of our representatives, has become Lord
Baron Glentworth, by which a vacancy
for one feat in Parliament has happened.
" We are likely to have a very smart
contest. The candidates who haVe already
started, are Thomas Manf-11, Esq. and
Sir Henry Hartftonge, on the Independent
interest; the former, who is one of our
Bankers, is a mail of the mcft amiable
character, and well beloved by the citizens
in general. The latter, who is brother-in
law to the present Lord Pery, is also well
beloved in the city for his Independent
principles.—ln opposition to the above,
Col. Smith, one of the present members,
has set up his nephew Lieut. Col. Vereker.
" The candidates are can vaffing'with the
jreateft vigor—th_- two former have the
entered of the Roman catholicswith them,
who are a very great body, and have
very great influence.
" So great a contest never was known
in this city as this one is likely to be, as the
Independent are determined, (let the cx
pence be what it may) to open the city,
which may be deemed hitherto nothing
more than a close borough."

PROTEST.
Against the vote of thanks to Lord
Hot)d.
Diflentient,
1. Because it ha£ not been the pra&ice
of this Houfc to vote thanks to officers
Commanding i.is Majesty's forces by fca or
by land, except 011 occasions where they
eminently advanced the honor and pro
mised the interelis of their country, by the
most important and acknowledged iervices.
i. fieeaufe by voting the thanks of this
House, eicept in such instances. we di
minilh the valui <5f the most honorable re
ward we have it in our power to ctulfer,
and lefl'en one of the belt incitements to
future services.
3« BecaufetHe reduction of Baftia does
not in it itfelf 2pp-?at to us to be fucli a
service as<al)s unon this House for any ex
traordinary mark of approbation or ap
plause.
4. Because whatever the merit of that
(Vrvice may be, the other Admirals of the
fleet, an J the Commanding Officers of his
Majelty's land forces, mnft have had their
(hare in it, and to refufe thanking their:,
as it has been usual oil similar occasions ap
pears to us to jijllify an opinion that the
vote ot ■thanks to Lord Hcod, originated*
from ibirie motive of private and -pirforial
nature, which it is improper for this Home
to countenance,
5- Because even Miniftfrs th':mfe!ves do
not seem in the firft instance, to hare cou-
that fervicj as entitled to such a
mark of app. obation : for though accounts
had been received of the redudlion of
iialua previous to the victory obtatned by
the fleet tinder the commmand of Earl
Howe, no intention w*s aimourtced of
moving a vote of thanks to Lord Hood,
til! the Houle had paid the just tribute of
gratiuidc and honor for that molt import
ant and I'pS 'udid victory.

A late decree of the French Convention,
relpeCtiug the freedom of trade and com
merce, has been re-pubiifhed by authoi ity,
in the Stockholm Gazette.
Juiyj;
The best informed of tlie Miriifterial
papers now very fa rly acknowledge, tliat
they have been so often the dupes of ftate
incnt refpeitiiig the RCySlifts in La Ven
dee, as to refufe any further credit to
Uiem. Thetiuthisi thit there are i eon-
Ifclei-ablc nutnber of Royalilts in that part
of France, p rotedted by the flatnre of the
country from the vengeance of the Repub
licans. They afiemble occasionally in
small numbers, but have neither arms,
provisions, nor inclination to form and
keep together as an army. The Conven
tion is obliged to keep a force at hand to
watch their motions ; with detachments of
this force their scattered paraes often fkir
miih; but dii'perfe. They are precisely
in the situation in which many of the Scots
Highlanders continued for years after the
revolution.
Of the number of British (hips which,
within these lad fix months, have been
taken by the enemy, it would not be ea
sy to give an accurate lift, but in that pe
riod, it may be relied on as a fad, that
our Conrt of Admiralty have not con
demned more than ten French Vessels!! !
The Emperor's addrtfj to the inhabi
tants of the Aufti ian Netherlands, recom
mending an immediate levy of five men
oiit of every hundred capable of bearing
arms, is One of the moll itnporaut docu
ments with refpedt to the hopes of the
allies, that ever appeared in any war.—
It is however too obviously calculated to
defeat its ostensible object to be under
stood to mean what it profefles. The
Emperor cannot be so ill advised as to
imagine that to tell the people of the
Netherlands, "That the French are
multiplying at all points upon the fron
tiers, while his armies are mouldering
away, and that he despairs of defending
the country without extraordinary aid,"
is not more likely to induce them to
think of conciliating the favour of the
French than of taking up arms againit
them. The only rational conclusion is
that he eonfiders the war as hopeless,
and that he has made an application tn
the people of the Netheilands, which
he knows they will not comply with,
that he may have a decent pretext for
renouncing the crufads, and endeavoring
to make peace. Every body learns some
wisdom by experience except the Qritifh
cabinet.
