The New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

By Captain Samuel Prince, who arrived here last Saturday from Martinique, we are informed, that the inhabitants of that Island had chosen nine deputies to wait on the General for permission to sing TE DEUM on account of the late Glorious revolution in France. After some little altercation, permission was granted.

In consequence of which, a solemn procession took place at Fort Royal of the inhabitants, to which the Americans in Harbour were invited, and requested to join their Flags with the National one of France. The religious ceremony being over, the procession passed through the principal streets, and returning to the church, the flags of the two nations were solemnly consecrated, and placed in the altar, there to remain as the emblems not only of mutual friendship, but as Ensigns of Virtue, Honor, Patriotism and liberty.--After the procession was over, and the flags disposed of, the General, the Count De Viomenil gave the Americans a polite invitation to dine with him and his officers, at his House and shewed them on this occasion every mark of attention and affection.

Capt. Prince left at Port-Royal (Martinico) October 2, brig Katy, Captain Smith, and sloop Stork, Capt. Russell, of Boston; and schooner Susannah, Capt. Coolidge, of Newbury: At St. Pierre, two schooners, Captains John Tucker and Benjamin Bickford, of Salem; and three brigs, Captains Inglis, Hezekiah Goodhue. and John Goodhue, of Newbury.
