Indies now begin tr wear ■ a moll propitious aspect, and fectn to promjfe not onlv a fixedy, "but happy and foccef.Ful termination inlaw of Britain. Alices r. -iv«J yelteruay from the army u >drr Gr Ralph ' rcrombve, ena bleus at length toftate. that -he «xped,t.op which failed from hence on the 221 ultimo, has invaded the island of St. Lucia, where already the mod brilliant fuccefies have attended our arms. Ihe <ol j Win ' are the moll authentic particulars of their ! whirh we have been able to collect, of; | ■ A lure, with ar tillery it ol<l, ivib totally ioii in going; in. The fleet only remained here until Monday evening ; the night previous .0 which, fir John Laforey, hav ing reiignea the command to admiral Chridian, fail ed for Antigua ; when they proceeded to St. Lucia, and arrived off there on Tuesday m >rning ; upon which, the Vengeance, of 74 guns, Hebe frigate, and Pelican brig, ran into a bay to the north of Pidgcon Island, where they soon silenced a battery, land drove the enemy from an adjoining pofltion which they occupied, and thus enabled Lieut.Col. Malcolm to land his blank corps, who eminently distinguished themselves in an attack which they immediately made on a party of the enemy : at the fame time, lieut. col. M'Donald having landed with his detachment of grenadiers, the whole of the fleet came to til Choque Bay, from whence the Hebe and Pelican <i'fo previously driven the enemy ; and the next morning a general debarkation took place, without the lealt opposition. On Wednes day night, lieut. col. Malcolm itormed and took Mount Chambeau, while lieut, 001. M'Dotlald also gttacked and carried Mount Chateau, two advan itageous politions, which will facilitafc the opera tions again ft Morne Fortune, which, withPidgeon ? Island, were the only fortifications of any llrength then remaining in pofTefliou of the enemy. Dar ing almolt the whole time of tile troops landing,; capt. Walker, by the mofl a&ive exertions, flow ered the coafl with his mortar boat, from which he brought (hells to bear wherever the enemy ap» peared, and made a severe havoc among them ; to 1 this is attributed, in a great measure, the fafe land ing of the troops ; and so apparent was the annoy ance of this boat to >he enemy, that their whole attention was oecupied in attempiing to destroy it, and, after continued efforts, they at length tb'reu; a four and twenty pound shot through her, by which ftte was much injured. The loss of the enemy ha* been couliderable ; and wherever our troops appear, they fly before them in dismay, leaving arms, ammunition and accoutrements be hind them to aflift their fljght. It does not appear f that on our part more than 50 men have been either If killed or wounded •, and from the rapid prugrefs of our arms, scarce a doubt is entertained of the total redudtion of the island by this time. Nothing can. at Jjiw-ffrftr,MjeTHoretij tftc im portance of these successes, than the fafe arrival, in | Carltfle Bay, of the fleet which failed from Eng. land with admiral Christian on the 2 Ift of March : which event took place on Sunday last, having on board a powerful reinforcement of tioops, rea Jy to co-operate in the tuture plans of the armamejit. The above fleet captured on their voyage, in the latitude of Madeira, a French national ship of 12 guns, and retook a valuable Portuguese vleflel, prize to her. The former arrived here with them, and »he latter wasfentto Madeira. May 14. Authentic communications, b/ought by the Albi core, (loop of war, which arrived here on Mon day last, from, Madeira. On the 19th of April, an American veflel arriv ed at Madeira from Mogadore, which had fallen in, on the 9th, in lat. 31, 00, tang. 14, 00, with a squadron of Dutch men of war, confiding of sev en fail of the,line, three frigates, and a2O gun ship ; and was informed by them that they were bound to the 1 fie of France, but were firft to water at Te neriffe. The captain of the American veflel added, that they had three prizes with them, but no troop* on board.

T hey failed the 4th of April with a fleet under convoy of admiral Mann, whose squadron con fided of seven fail of the line and three frigates, which left them off Cadiz, in charge of the Moselle frigate. On the 12th, this fleet, in lat. 30, 03, long. 14, 04, fell in with a French squadron, con fiding of seven fail of the line and three frigates, fleering W. S. W. when the Moselle left her con voy and chafed them until within gun shot, and hav ing made a private signal which they did not an swer, returned to the convoy arid gave the above in formation ; after which she immediately again left Jhem. The Moselle, no doubt, left her convoy the se cond time for the purpofr of seeking admiral Mann, to inform him of this French fleet being out ; which fleet mod probably was escaped from > antfas it is /cry likely that wGttld receive thisurination in time to intercept them, we have a ver , flattering hbpe that we (hall portly receive accounts of their capt 4 .->. Mayji. An advice boat arrivca yesterday evening from St. Lucia and brings accounts down to r Bth ind, but which do not afford anv profpedt of a fpee dydecifion, although ultimately the mod decisive success is likely to ensue from the steady perfeve rarjee and bravery of our arms. O.i the 16th, at ten d'clock in the morning all the British batteries (abont thirteen intiumber) Were opened 011 the different potts of live enemy, and a continued fire of 300 (hot and (hells an hour, kept ' lip until Tuesday night, when a detachment of 800 men under Lt. col. M'Doiiald attempted the Vi- 1 1 , gie by (lorm, but were repulsed with some loss ow ing principally to the separation of the paity from their guide's being killed at (heunfet, and an indit creet fire from an advanced detachment which ap prized the enemy of their design. On the fame night the town of the Carenage was set fire to and was (till burning when the above ves sel lefr it, at which time about t*»>> thirds was con sumed. Although no vifibleimpreflion has yet appeared j from our fire on the Morne, yet it being an open | fortification without cafements,rendered strong more from its eminence than fortified state, there can be no douht of cor.fiderable flaughtei being mads a mong the enemy, who aie completely hemmed up withm .J*" I ru» limits, and cut oft from all com ' mtinication with the Interior of the country, so that not the lend supply can reach them. p-TfiVVig ie Had been twice, previous to tjie above night, silenced, but afterwards renewed its annoy e ance to our works, which made it neceflaiy to d'ef . troy it altogether, for which purpose the attack was then made, but not succeeding, was to be re newed with an additional force and co-operation by sea, the following night. * AUTHENTIC DOCUMENT. f [Translation.] Liberty.

An adtive eorrefpohdenoe between you and us, appeared to us well calculated t< attain this end.— It was the frequency and the intimacy of munications bet ween the last cominiflieu to St. r mil go and your predecefTurs which at that time I mod contributed in frudrating the infamous plots of our emigrants, in preventing theirarmip.gagainft this i-nlony, and in neutralizing the < ffeit of their manoeuvres near the American government, and with the agents of foreign powers in the United States. ( Ihe conflitution wlule it abohflies slavery de ( clarcs, that the colonies are an integial part of the Republic, and that they fliall be governed by the , fame laws. This declaration gives to St. Domiii go the laws made relative to emigrants ; who by the CCC LXIII. article of the constitution, arefor- I ever banished from the French territory, while it takes absolutely from the Lcgiflativebody the right ot making new exceptions on that head. Filled with refpcS for the national will we de clare to you, that our firm intentituvis, to prevent their approaching our coast, and thus to guarantee, this portion of the Republic, from the pedilential ( influence of their principles ; and from the dan gers of an unavoidable re-a£tion, if they weiefuf fered to return. We know, Citizen Minister, that there may be | some legal exception among them ; forpe'may have been forced by violent means, to abandon their homes, but the law, equitable in this refpedt, has left open to them the means of re-integration : A late decree of the Legislative Body entrusts to the Directory the deeifion on all petitions for being druck off the lift of emigrants ; and as we exer p cife their fundtionsin St. Domingo, we shall haltcn to do juftiee to all. I .The women, the children, the old men, who , driven by the fury of the rebels against the national t authority, fled from the conflagra ion of the Cape shall be carefully didinguifhed fiom the abettors and authors of that unfortunate catastrophe. We shall pity misfortune, but never forgive crime. We beg you consequently, to give no pnffport for S?.

At Hounflow, however, where they flopped to change hoifes, being permitted to go into the yard, accompanied by one of the officers, he turned his back upon him and cut his throat with a knife, which he afterwards acknowledged he had taken from a house where they had flopped 1 ,! .? ;S? . - ' V-4 - - for refr'flimrnt.
