It has seldom occurred that we have had it in our power to lay before our readers such a variety of intelligence, the principal part of which is of a more consolatory nature than any thing we have seen for some time past. The Armis [sic] of Bonapart are in a dreadful state, from a contagious disorder which has already greatly reduced his Forces, as will be seen by our Extracts from the London Papers to the 10th ult.

The above Papers were brought from Barbados by the Ship Barbados, which arrived on Saturday evening, with the London Fleet, but of which she was not one.

On Monday afternoon the first January Mail arrived here, but its contents were mostly anticipated by the above arrivals.

Last Night the Alexander, Capt. Scott, one of the Cork Fleet, arrived here; she had a passage of seven Weeks, consequently brings nothing new. - She parted with the other Vessels off Berbice.
