BOSTON, May 2.
We with pleasure inform the friends of the French Republic and Civil Liberty, that the British troops have been totally defeated with the loss of their camp equipage, artillery and cavalry at Loganne, in St. Domingo, and that the celebrated Victor Hughes, who has been so often honoured by aristocratic slander in this country is in great force in Guadaloupe.— A few weeks since, he harangued his black troops, who are now all freemen and they were on the field to defend their lives, property and liberty to the last drop of blood against the British despots. Our latest advices from the West Indies, state, that Admiral Rarker, with the British fleet, and from 8 to 12,000 troops arrived at Barbadoes about the 6th April. The British had sent reinforcements to attack St. Lucia, and several other places; the French, however, appear ready and anxious to receive them. The French had captured a valuable transport and sent her into St. Bartholomew— Several others were said to be captured, and hourly expected to arrive. An embargo is put upon all the windward Islands. The British take all American vessels from French ports, and send them into Tortola and Bermuda— and all American seamen who have not authenticated certificates.— A bounty of 14 guineas was offered at Antigua April 5, for sailors to enlist—in consequence of which many Americans had entered the British service.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Guadaloupe to his friend in Boston.
"You will doubtless have seen in my former letter, how much the army of the Republic continues to distinguish itself in this quarter; it has recently signalized itself in the defence of Loganne, the details of which shall furnish you as soon as leisure permits, being unable to do it at present as the vessel which carries this is on the point of sailing, and affords only time to inform you that the English were totally defeated the day before yesterday—We have only to regret 22 Americans who have fallen victims to those monsters but in the heat of the action, our brave soldiers could distinguish no one. Orders have just been issued concerning those Americans who may attempt to furnish the British ports. This measure will furnish us with provisions at low rate."
