The National Intelligencer And Washington Advertiser

An official letter from Rear Admiral L., Captain in Guadeloupe, this 1st July has been published in the Paris debates. Among other subjects relating to the colony, he mentions the following on America.

The Rear Admiral directed his attention to the manner in which the treaty between France and the United States was executed in the colony. He ascertained, and indeed that all the vessels which had been seized, fitted out, or condemned before the publication of it in the colony, have been returned to their respective proprietors - but he was astonished at the number of those condemned between the two periods: and the products of which had been divided between the officers and the crew of the privateers. He proposes to draw up a report, which will make known to the government the importance of the claims the subjects of the United States have a right to make. The evils are greater, because those of the Colonies, constituting a Council of Prizes at Paris, was unknown in the colony until the Rear Admiral's arrival; so that the neutrals were liable to two condemnations unjustly exercised by the Tribunals of Commerce.
