The only article of a foreign nature, we have been able to make room for, are, in the first place, the Confession of a Captain of the French Guards; and, in the second, a Gazetted Account of a gallant repulse of a division of the French Army, attacking Bilboa.

LOCALITIES. [heading]

^*_*^* The Names of those Persons, whose Accounts, being of long-standing, are placed in the Hands of an Attorney-at-Law, will be published in a future Gazette.

The Royal Militia of George-Town paraded yesterday morning.

By the arrival from Barbados above-mentioned, we learn that dispatches had been received there from Admiral Sir J. B. Warren, stating, that all hope must be relinquished of an amicable arrangement with America; and, at the same time, ordering the Dragon on the Halifax station. In consequence of which, we are informed, Sir Francis Laforey has hoisted his flag on board the Tribune frigate.

Our old friends the Joseph, Capt. Strickland, the Fame, Capt. Greenidge, and several other, are hourly expected from Barbados, under convoy, it is stated, of the Maxwell, Commodore Irlam.

The long-expected Halifax fleet for the West Indies, is at length, arrived.

The American Privateers are again in the neighbourhood; and from whom it appears, the Surprise (already announced) had a very narrow escape. She fell in with two schooner off the Oronoque, and by the smaller one, supposed to be the Burchal, was immediately chased. Making the land, the sloop soon after grounded; but the master, luckily not lowering the sails, the Yankee followed and grounded likewise - but, drawing less water, the sloop was of course a float first. The enemy was afterwards seen in a northern course; and it is suspected, the Highflyer was off this river, in the course of yesterday. The Opossum is off Berbice.

Departed this life, last night - Mr. James [mutilated]own and much-respected colonist. He died at his [mutilated] Werk & Rust.
