Catskill paper:

New-York, June 2.

The Ship Brutus, Bunker, came up last evening in 30 days from Dublin. We have received Dublin papers by her to the 27th of April, inclusive. They contain no news of consequence except what is detailed in the preceding page.

Captain Gemmels, of the schooner Hector from Guadaloupe, informs us, that on the 5th May news arrived at the Government House of a fleet being off the harbour, when the town was cleared, and every preparation made to receive the division destined for Point Petre. The day following four frigates, a cutter and 14 transports entered the harbour, and came to anchor. General Pelage prepared to receive General Richepanse with military parade, and on his landing delivered up possession of the place without any disturbance, the blacks laying down their arms. The second in command, a mulatto, and the commandant La Place, in the mean while, retreated with some troops to Basse Terre, where they made a stand against the French. May 12th, at mid-night our plantations and the town of Basse Terre on fire, during a heavy discharge of cannon and small arms from the fort, which continued with little intermission until the sailing of the Hector, no vessels being permitted to enter.

General Pelage was on board one of the frigates on the second day after their arrival.

Captain Gemmels further informs that the name of Port de la Liberte, is changed to that of Point Petre: and that, as it respected American and neutral vessels, notice had been given that the conduct of the government would be similar to that usually adopted before the revolution.
