From the Barbados Mf.hcury rteriveilby thefdoo
. tier Bctfey arrived at the Fort yejlcfdayfrom Bar
bados.
The lad engagement which happened at Grena
da (-a -cording to the la!t accounts from thcuce,
took place ou the 12th tnft. The insurgents, in
great force, aflenlbled on a height neat Guyava
towards night-fall evidently with a design of at
tacking a poll there which they knew to be weak.
However M«j. M'Leaa of the 68th regiment, a
very brave officer who commanded thete, was de
rerinined to be before hand with them ; he there
fore matched off sixty men, and very unexpectedly
attacked the enemy's rear with fixed bayonets,
which caused them to fly in all directions and re
treat with the loss of from a 109 to 120 men, who
weie all bavonetted witliout a fntgle shot being
fired, or the loss of a man our lide.
A few days prior to this engagement, the Insur
gents furpnzed and took prisoners a Serjeant, three
privates and a small number of negroes, detached
from our potts at Gouyave, and conduflcd them to
Fedon, the Republican General, in camp, who im
mediately shot the white prisoners with his own
piltols, excl iming that—he wished he could (txfer
minate the whole English nation in the like man
ner. The throats of the Negro prisoners were or
dered to be cut by the Mulatto women in the camp
which was immediately executed.

On Sunday la(t arrived in the (hip Supply, capt.

but being fep rated in a gale of wind on the 27th,

on the 81h inifant. by three british line ofbattle

quiry, was made.

It is now probable that the above Writ-India
fleet, with the long wifhedfoj reinforcement, may
arrive in the courfc of the futjeeeding week j—this
fleet we are informed, consists of about 170 fail, and
the reinforcement of 7,000 men,—their arrival can
not be more opportune than at the present time,
wherein death and dellrudlion is dealt around by
the savage invaders of our filler colonies, who are

The alarm raif«d )efterday, was occasioned by
the appearance of a small fleet to windward, which
although confiding 0+ but five veflels, rendered it
proper at this critical period, to call out the ftrens'th
of the island, lealt by the temerity of our eneir.ies
they fhonldbe impelled to invade a land determined
'to repel them— fc'he above vcfiels soon come to in
Cailifle bay, andpioveto be a part of the expedt
ed fleet ; whcnthe alarm was dilcharged.
There was however another alarm railed early
tlvs morning in ronfeqnence of a number of other
vefTels heaving in fight. At twelve o'clock thisa
lxrm waa also discharged, by which time a large
part of the fame fleet came into port.
The consequent delay of our, publication from the
above causes, afford us an opportunity of furnifhiiig
our readers with intelligence received yeflerday eve
ning by the Mail bolt, Capt. Dawfqn, which al
though of a mod disagreeable nature.it is not, we
trust, improper to be communicated in a country
where Liberty and Loyalty aic chara£terillically
distinguished.

were 10 have been attacked [here by the Militia on
the 17th inft, (until which time they were fuffcred
to remain unmolefled) when, they being found too
formidable, the intention was dropped : It appears
that their number when fiffl landed, did not amount
to 300, but that they afterward* received several
reinforcements from Guadaloupe, which with a num
ber of Democratic inhabitants who joined them,
rendfted their ftrergth so great as to give fericus a
alarm to the inhabitants andcaufe numbers of them
to emigrate from thence, capt. Dawfon having seen
several vefTels full of men, women and children, who
were going to take refuge at Martinico from the
impending danger.

"iNTt-KiiSTING FACT.
One of the letters from Mr. Jay to lord GrenTillc
in the famous correspondence between them relative
to Khe treaty fufficicntly (hews to whom the exulu
live merit of this extraordinary inflrument belongs.
In that letter Mr. Jay informs lord Grenville that
after returning from the interview of the evening
before with his lordlhip, it had occurred to him,
that he (Mr. Jay) would probably have more hi
furc than his lordiliip, whose time was too much
occupied by the other momentous concerns of a
great natian, and therefore V.e had set down and
prepared the heads of such a treaty between Great
Britain and the United States, as lie eonccived
would be mutually advantageous to both countries,
and had taken the Liberty to enclose the fame for
his lordship's confederation. This letter was an
swered by lord Grenville a day or two afterwards,
when, apologizing to Mr. Jay for unavoidable de-*
lay occafioncd by other important engagements, and
complimenting him for his diplomatic talents, he
returned the heads of the treaty with a single alte
ration or addition to the 12th article containing the
■prohibition which now appears in that article on
the export trade of the United States, assuring Mr.
Jay, that with that single modification the flcetch
or heads of the treaty prcpofed by Mr. Jay, met his
(lord Grenville's) entire approbation.
Quere. —Is it not prefuaiable from the foregoing
fa£t that Mr. Jay carried a treaty withliim read}'
preared from our government, and doe* not the
treaty itfelf evidence the stile, .the language, the
feelings and the politics of the late secretary of dKI
treasury, who, it is well known expected himfelf to
have been the envoy extraordinary ! Aurora.

NEW-YORK, July 21
Yesterday at noon, agreeable to adjournment
from Saturday lalt, a numerous body of citizens
opposed to the treaty, lately negociated with Great-
Britain, afiembled at the City-Hall. Col. Smith
was again chosen chairman. The committee no
minated at the la(t meeting were approved of J who
then reported a numb«r of resolutions disapproving
of the Treaty, which wtre severally read and palled
by the meeting. The friends of the treaty and ol a
further discussion of its merits, who on their lalt
meeting by their confideiablc numbers, created so
great a division, and who caused such violent pro
ceedings from their opponents, had previon/ly a
gretd to leave a lield ot so much unpleasant conten
tion, and to cxpnfs their sentiments in forae other
and more peaOvabltf mode.
We were not able to procure a copy of the icfolu

the Tieatynow pending between the United Cta.e*
and Great-Britain; and foliciling the P.refident to
withhold his ratification of the lame—there was a
large a(Tembla<>e of citizens on so" important an oc
casion. The birfiiief* was opened by.
Dr. Jarvis, who ofoferved, that the committee
thought it improper to pass upon the treaty before
it was publicly read ; and having moved the rending
thereof—
The hon. Mr, Dawes, the mo.'xrstcr, accord-

Dr. Jarvis, in the name ... the committee, made
a report of the resolutions they had I'rafted for the

A motion was inade to accept the r.port of the
committee, entire: ( •
Mr. Tudor opposed it} fie did not wish the
town to pass 19' resolutions at once, and without
maturely coltfidering them ; reflections had already
been calt on the town,, in some newspapers, for too
hastily proceeding on fu important a bufincfs.
Col. Crafts said, the Editor of the Ccntinel
had publidicd, that the proceedings cf the town,
meeting on the treaty, were " cut and dried" before
hand, he hoped the town would convince the
world, that there was no " iulnng and drying" lit

Mr. Austin moved, that the editor of the Ccn
tinel should befeni for by the town.
Dr. Jar vis obfeived, that if as fteemen they re
garded their liberties, they ihould also refpett the
means of prefervin'g them—that Pie rtfpedability
of the town of Boston could not be injuria by a
paragiaph m a newlpaper. If the town had been
illiberally flandeicd, they were no proper tribunal

Capt. Lebae, from Guaualoupe, then in iat. ly, 56,

clearing my boat actually fired at «iy veflel j the Ihot,
however, pafled withou: ihjniing us. As soon as pot
fible, I went on board wiih my papers, when observ
ing my clearance was for Barbados, they afkeil for my
letters —I told them, I had none. They then sent
seven people on board my fchoorter, detaining me and
my crew in the brig—they there searched everV chest,
trunk, cafe, !scker, and place they could fniptdl, and
finding no letters, swore the owner's brother, who waj
1 on board, and who was bred a clerk in Baltimore, wat
an Arillocrat, and that wc were going witli provifiont
to the Bnglilh. Tli«y brought him 011 board the brig,,
ind put him with myfelf, as prisoner* into the cabin—-
Capt. Lebae, taking all my papers ; and ordering my
mate to follow liiui with the Juiconer, or he would
fink her. They then bore away. In" the night they
run foul of the schooner—the brig'* jib boom and
bowsprit, palling through the fchooner'* mainsail,
which being new, carried away the boom ta. kle, tack
rope, &c. and tore the fail from the gaff to the boom j
and injuring the schooner so as to make her very leaky.

made on board my veflel for papers, &c.and one

(hould go ajaln priloner on board the Ca Ira, I de
manded feave to j_o on board the schooner and Ihift
myfelf; but was denied. I even alked liberty
on board,' but in vain. On the 24th, the captain gave
me leave to go on board rr.y veffti. When I got on
board the schooner, I found k?r thumping on a large
anchor, I alked the officer c» board to move her, as I
knvw her botioin was damaged, for Uk made much
water. But could not perl'uade the Officers, or/get
leave to move her myfelf. .Our water being out, i n

Mr. Champair. was sent a prii'oner to Guadalonpe. I
demanded canvas and twine from the Cornrriiffary, to
