By the arrival of the Belleisle, Capt. Gemmel, on Monday last, a London paper was brought of the 10th and a Liverpool paper of the 12th ult. - of which we have been favoured with a sight.

The Mail Boat arrived here on Sunday morning with the 1st November mail.

His Majesty's Brig Superieure touched at Barbados on the [illegible]nst. from Halifax. She reported that Sir G. Prevost with General Houghton and the Regiments destined for the West Indies were all embarked on the 29th of October, and were to sail immediately.

We are sorry to see that some supplies have been thrown into Martinique, notwithstanding the rigourous blockade on that Island, a very fine new Brig from France succeeded in getting into Trinity Bay after several [illegible] chase and running fight with the Haughty G. B. [illegible]is Brig it since appears left Havre in company [illegible]wo new Frigates, with troops on board, also [illegible]d for Martinique and may be hourly looked [illegible] The enemy has also received intelligence that [illegible] or 18 Brigs were preparing to come to his rescue with troops and provisions; one of which The [illegible]he has already made her appearance with a Ca[illegible] Wine and Oil, but fortunately has been capt[illegible] by the Belette and sent into Antigua; - and [illegible] the Seine, and two schooners, have been de[illegible]in Precheur Bay, Martinique, by the boats o[illegible]Circe, Amaranth and Express, in effecting wh[illegible] are sorry to find they have sustained so ser[illegible]loss; not less than 69 men it is said are kille[illegible]aded and missing.

Several Am[illegible] Vessels have been detained and sent into our P[illegible]hich were attempting to get into Martinique[illegible]ithstanding their Embargo and our Blockade.

Congress it [illegible]s, according to the last ac-

Britain and her [illegible]and we understand, through
a private chann[illegible] on the question for the
continuance of [illegible]mbargo until March, the

By an arrival from Surinam, on Wednesday, we understand that an Expedition is gone against Cayenne; from the Brasils, consisting of 3000 Troops all Portuguese and Indians, a British Sloop of War and several Portuguese Gun-Boats. This information was obtained from one of the Portuguese Boats which fell to leeward and put into Surinam.

It has been currently reported in Town to day that Cayenne has been taken, which rests on the authority of a letter from a Gentleman of character in Surinam.

The Helena Sloop of war which conveyed the Cork Fleet hither, sails this Day for Europe.

THOUGHTS ON BANISHMENT. [heading]

Farewell, old King, since thus thou wilt appear,
Freedom lives hence, and Banishment is here.
King Lear.

The Light in which Crimes have appear'd to different Legislatures, their various degrees of Turpitude and the Punishments that have been at different periods apportioned to the same Offences form a subject of consideration as extraordinary as it is interesting.
The Sentence of Banishment was frequent among the antient Nations, for such Offences as appear'd not to merit a more severe punishment or in instances where the Rank of the Offender render'd an ignominious one, too degrading. - In times when Migration was unfrequent, when a Voyage by Sea was an Object of Horror, when almost every Nation conceived itself the only enlighten'd one and looked on the rest of the World as Barbarians, the Sentence of Banishment from their dear native soil, from all the Objects of their early and tenderest Affections, from all "the Charities of Father, Son and Brother" must have been felt with the severest Agony. How pathetically does Ovid warble out his Sorrows for his Exile to Tomos and how forcibly does our immortal Shakespear describe the Effects of this dreadful Sentence on a Banished Lover?
"Ha! Banishment - be merciful - say - Death,"
"For Exile has more Terror in his look"
"Much more than Death - do not say Banishment."
"There is no World without Verona's Walls,"
"But Purgatory, Torture, - Hell itself. -"
"Hence banished, is banished from the World"
"And World's Exile is Death - Then, Banishment"
"Is Death mis-term'd - calling Death, Banishment"
"Thou cuts't my Head off with a Golden Axe"
"And smil'st upon the Stroke that murders me."
Romeo & Juliet.
Now all this is not only Poetry but Nature when applied to an Ovid or a Romeo, but it may be worth a little Enquiry how far it is applicable to the Feelings in a Country that abounds with neither Lovers nor Poets, where the Love of Gain, the auri sucra fames has nearly absorbed all other Love as well as the before quoted Charities, where Men hang loose upon Society, every one looking forward with Avidity to the happy Moment of Banishment. One of the antient Philosophers, I think Diogenes, on being told that the Judges had banished him from Pontus, "And I" says he, banish them to Pontus" - Such a retort courteous might perhaps have not unaptly been given by some of our late Deportees - Indeed Sceptics may doubt if Banishment from hence can rank among the list of Punishments, unless to Parties whose Properties being immoveable are liable to great deterioration by their absence. Such was the Sentence once pronounced against the whole Race of English Proprietors in violation of their Right by the Treaty of Amiens. - England in her modification of the sentence of Banishment has in her Jurisprudence prescribed the Place of Exile: - For nearly two Centuries she sent her Delinquents to improve their Morals and refine their Manners in North America - here she form'd the great Nucleus from whence sprung our Modern Patriots and Heroes

"Sic fortis Etruria crevit"
"Seilicet et rerum facta est pulcherrima Roma."
Virgil.
-- Hence our Etrurian Senators are come,
And the long Glories of Majestic Rome.

They were afterwards consigned to Botany Bay and as I am old enough to have seen the rising Sun of the one race, so I do not dispair of beholding the splendid Aurora of their Successors, and I am the more confirm'd in this hope by their late noble struggle of Patriotism in shipping off their Governor Bligh - following so exactly their Precedent, I expect soon to hear of their President, their Senate, nay perhaps their Embargo! For Political Crimes in the days of the Charles's, of Cromwell, and even later, many were banished to our West India Islands and Cavaliers and Roundheads at different Eraeis [sic] contributed to their early Population. - But these Instances are confined to Banishment from the Mother-Country to her Colonies or to foreign parts - In my judicial speculations I have no where fallen on a sentence of Banishment, back from the Colonies to the Mother-Country of the Offender, and I fear its Introduction can tend little to the great purpose of all Laws and of all Punishments - the discouragement of Crimes - The Sentence of "to go from whence you come" is in England at least the fore-runner alone of capital Execution - I have been led into this Train of thinking not only by some recent Sentences, but by having heard it suggested that, in case of Conviction, the Example would most likely be follow'd in an instance where the Gold had been subtracted from nearly the whole Mass of circulating Coin in the Colony, with almost as much Publicity as an Ear-ring is manufactured or a Watch repaired, while the Public who suffer have look'd on supinely till the Evil had nearly reached its Acme and then, with the vulgar Proverb, "When the Steed is stole have shut the Stable door." - In spite of public Report I trust however, that this most daring public Crime will not be commuted by Banishment, in which case these "sweet singers of Israel" instead of "weeping by the Waters
"of Babylon and hanging up their Harps on the
"Willows that grow thereby" will laugh over the River of Surinam, and carrying with them in Triumph the Spoils of the Egyptians and hanging up their Harps on the Tamarind Trees of Paramaribo, will sing with the Psalmist.
"When I remember not thee, Jerusalem (Demerary)
"in my Mirth; may my right hand forget her Cunning."
Cruel and sanguinary Punishments I abhor, but I would have some proportion between the Sentence and the Crime and I hope an appropriate one may be found out as well for the Principals in this enormous public Fraud as for their Accomplices, a Fraud by which every Man in the Colony must next Year suffer considerably, and Accomplices there must be, and that among persons thro' whose hands a large proportion of the circulating Coins of the Colony occasionally passes, as it would be morally impossible that so much of it could have fallen under the Operation of the Children of Circumcision without the assistance of the Gentiles.
Agricola.
