Papers and advices from this island are to the 31st of July—when no attack had been made upon it by the English; but the reports from thence continue to add, that one was daily expected, and, of course, would be forcibly and gallantly resisted. Some barge affairs are related; but were not of consequence.
The British cruisers had commenced the blockade of Point Petre, and a great number of American vessels had been prevented from entering the port; vessels coming out were treated politely. Four or five thousand men were encamped for the defence of the place.
We are confident, that trade will be restored to its usual channel in Guadaloupe, as soon as Linois hears of the overthrow of Bonaparte.
