HILL, with whole division of ten 000 men, was tin a coining up, his Lordship was detci mined to, exert liitn‘elf fiir the preservation of this posi tion, even under the existing disparity of force. The whole of the 26th was spi nt in efforts to this effect, the enemy incessantly at tacking; When, in the eve!iing, General HILL joined. and so in• creased the force multi.

G RAH.% Nr, in a letter dated the evening of the 28 b, from the scene of the battle of that day in the Puerto Mayor, or great outlet from Spain into France. We are harpy to undcrstlnd and to slate, that our Commander found himself so • ireumstiincecl at the period of writing this letter, a, to in spire him with the fullest confidence as to the future—a con fidence which induced Sir T.

New-Ymk Papers to the l tttt n't. arrived on Monday, containing a variety of important intelligence. It appeals that the expedition under Sir .1. 13. \V A RREN, which sailed lately from Bermuda, inrde an attack on the morning of the 2 , 2 d of June upon (:'ranev island, near Not folk. A landing was effected at one print ; but the other attack having prov ed unsuccel.sful, the detachment which had of the de halkation was withdrawn. On the 2:,th a descent was made by the Fame forces at Hampton. The enemy at this place made an ineffectual resistince, and the town was taken. lemaining some time in it, and destroving the public stores, &C. our troops retired. The next visit by our troops -.as expected to be pan! to the town of Hichmond. The ; ;neatest consteina•ion lths been spiead along the whole of the American coat. These Papers also confiim the farther iJefeat of the ene y's army in Canada. It appears that a Colonel BoEttsT t.sAt had marched from Fort George with nearly six hundred men, uli , ) wet e attacked by our troops, • nd all of them taken. General DEA ituou N 'ass, the British and Indian force did not Ex( ectl Sto men. He blames Colonel BoRESTL ER highly, in a dispatch dated Fort George, .lune '25. He adds, that the British fleet had again arrived in his neighbourhood.

American Papers to the 14th ult. a:lived on Friday. They contain an account of a very serious insurrection of :he Negroes in South Carolina, in which from 3 to 400 whites were massacred. A battle afterwards took place, in which 1,200 Negroes were killed and taken. Nine thruisand men were immediately raised to protect the State. The Ameri can details of A dinii al WARREN'S late attack, which, of course, most a rosslv and shamefully exaggerate the facts, are also given. Pi esident MADISON continues seriously ill.— The measures of the American Legisla•ure, for providing ways and means in support of the war, proceed but slowly, in consequence of the formidable opposition of the Fede ralists, or pacific party, in Coogress. These Papers bring no further intelligence of the proceed ings of the squadron under Sir J. B. WA RREN. A flag of truce had been sent to the Admiral, remonstrating against certain barbarities alleged to have been committed by the forces under his command. We have no doubt that thee complaints of cruelty against our brave men are devices, of the American Government to excite a spirit of national hostility against us, and that there is no foundation for the cha , ges bi ought against them. A remonstrance has been addressed by the Legislature of Massachusetts to Congress, in which the impropriety, im policy, and injustice of the war, and the necessity of peace are ciposed with - a clearness of demonstration, a strength of argu ment, and a temperate dignity of style, which are now seldom found in such composi!ions.
