Three o'Clock, Saturday Afternoon, 10th Octb. 1807.
C. S. Goepel.

The First Mail for August which was supposed to have been taken, arrived here on Wednesday. Its contents are however not of the consequence which we had been led to expect.

The chief part of the European News will be found in the Extracts we have made from the London Papers.

The St. Andrew, Capt. Ritchie, from Port Glasgow arrived here on Sunday last, after a tedious passage of eight weeks.

The Spaniards have again made their appearance to Leeward in very considerable force. They have taken a Boat belonging to Mr. Horn, which they have manned and armed. Three other Boats belonging to different Gentlemen, and it is thought that the Boat of Mr. McBean is also captured.

Mr. H. Hubbard yesterday received a letter from Mrs. Hubbard which mentions the capture of another boat, in which her Husband, Mr. R. Gordon, Mr. Lynch and three other White Person, and about 20 Negroes were taken, who had gone out expressly to attack the Launch, which they would certainly have taken had not the above Schooner cut them off from the Land.

Mr. Clements writes to Town that on Thursday night, there were seven Launches and Canoes lying within a short distance of the shore. - The Enemy cut out of the Trench, close to the Hoes, the Boat of the Honble. F. C. Knowlman, with which they got clear off. - We sincerely hope that some plan will be immediately set on foot for the protection of the coasting trade, as, at this moment, those embarrassments are severely felt at the eve of the sailing of a Fleet.

The Bush Negroes have again made their appearance in considerable force behind the Plantation Georgia and Flinsbourg, on Monday morning last they attacked the Negroes of the later Plantation, two of whom they wounded very badly, and surrounded the rest, some however effected their escape and gave the alarm to the front of the Plantation, when Mr. Aulert (tho' sick in the fever) took such steps by giving the alarm to the neighbouring Plantations, that they soon had three white men and four muskets, with this equipment they went aback in quest of the Enemy, who they soon discovered close by the Bush, one had the audacity to fire upon Mr. Aulert (happily without effect) who in return fired and killed the negro, (he proved to be the Head Driver of the Georgia, who absented himself two days before under pretence of going against the Bush Negroes and had for that purpose obtained two muskets) the others in company with Mr. A. now fired, and wounded and took two more, one of which is since dead, and the other deposited in the Barracks; - the rest fled dismayed into the Wood; too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Aulert for his cool and firm conduct upon this occasion.

Vessels Entered and Cleared since our last.

Brig Sally, Jos. Bingley, from New London.
