American Intelligence
Boston; August. 19,-1793. - FOR the honour of Captain Bompard, of the Ambuscade, it ought to be made known, that he has no knowledge of the many gasconading, inflated accounts of the late battle, which have swelled several southern papers, and been echoed in the northern. Like a brave man, he gives due credit to the valour and intrepidity of his antagonist, with whom he was personally acquainted, and speaks only of the victory as one obtained over a respectable foe. This we have from a gentleman who conversed with Captain Bompard on the subject.
A gentleman from New York informs, that in the dividend of the prize money among the officers and crew of the Ambuscade, the principle of equality is rigidly adhered to; each taking share and share alike. Of one prize taken, Capt. Bompard's share, we learn, was only twelve and an half dollars.
Boston, Aug. 24.-Yesterday arrived a Spanish ship, prize to the America, a French 74. She is laden principally with white sugars and cotton, and was bound from Havannah to Spain. It is said she is worth 100,000 dollars. The America, we are informed, when she took the above prize, was in sight of several other vessels, part of a large fleet, consisting of 200 sail of English and Spanish merchantmen. She probably will have good pickings among them.
Philadelphia, Aug, 24. The following Account of what happened at Martinique in the month of June last, is translated from a French Paper which has lately made its appearance in this City, and is called le Radoteur.
"Having observed, Sir, that your Radoteur sometimes speaks reason, and is never afraid of telling the truth, I apply to you in order to efface the impression which the false reports, wherewith our enemies have inundated this continent, may have made on my country men. I left Martinique the latter end of June, where I have been a witness to all that happened ; and I request you to publish the true and succinct account which I have the honour to send you.
M. P. T. S.
Inhabitant of Martinique"
6 The inhabitants of our colony, informed of the terrible ravages which the perverse maxima of the Jacobins had occasioned at St. Domingo, and being afraid of the same fate, determined in the month of October last, to apply to England for assistance. They were at that time masters of the forts, and maintained some kind of peace. Two Deputies, vested with full powers, were sent, and it was agreed between the British ministry and these Deputies, that the English, as soon as they arrived, should be put in possession of those forts which should peaceably return under the government of our lawful sovereign.
"During this negociation, two monsters, vomited up by the Jacobin Club, presented themselves to us as our guardian angels, and we were dupes of their hypocrisy. Nothing serves the wicked better than the confidence and openness of honest people ; as soon as our enemies were once in possession of our forts, they proscribed the most notable inhabitants, and pre-
