St . Domingo , Oct . jr . The town and post of Leogane has fallen into the hands of the forces of the Convention , aided by a numerous corps of revoked negroes . Capture of Warsaw . — Warsaw was surrendered at discretion on the 9 th of November to the Russian general Suwarrow . The only assurances required by the Poles were , that the lives of the inhabitants should be spared , and their property respected . To these conditions the Russian geHeral added an amnesty and oblivion for all that had passed .

In consequence of the sudden change of affairs in Poland , which country may now be considered as once more subjugated to the dominion of Russia and Prussia , the king of Prussia has sent an order to General Moellendorf , that the 20 , 000 troops ordered back to Prussia should remain on the Rhine . In consequence of this order , these troops , which had begun their march , are returned to their former cantonments .

HOME NEWS , Nov . 17 . Official advice was received , that the Alexander , of 74 guns , Admiral Rodney Bligh , was carried into Brest on the Sth instant , in a very shattered condition . The unfortunate but gallant commander of the Alexander acted only as captain when he fell in with the enemy ; having been promoted to the rank of rear-admiral in the last flag promotion during his cruize .

Extract of a Letter from an Officer on board the CANADA , in company with the ALEXANDER before ber Capture . "When we first saw the enemy ' s squadron they were not more than two miles from us , right between us and the British Channel , for which we were then steering with a fair wind , Finding them numerous , it was judged prudent to alter our course immediately , and endeavour to alter the position so as to get the English Channel open , and which , though apparently impracticable ( in such a

situation ) , we and the Alexander effected by masterly manoeuvring .- By six o ' clock we were to leeward of them , crowding sail for England , and the enemy ( which we soon after perceived , as it grew day-light ) , consisting of" five line of battleships , four frigates , and a brig , in chace of us , coming up very fast . At six o ' clock in the morning , the Alexander and Canada were close alongside each other ; but as the enemy were of so superior a force , it was thought necessary to separate , in order that one ship might perhaps get off . As we sailed rather better than the Alexander , she dropped astern of us , and steering different

courses , though only a little , made the distance between us wider . The French squadron then separated , and a French commodore , with three line of battle ships and one frigate , pursued the Alexander , while the French admiral , with two line of battle ships , three frigates , and a brig , pursued us . "A little before eight o ' clock in the morning the Alexander hoisted English colours , and commenced the action with the headmost ship of that part of the enemy's fleet who were in chace of her ; we hoisted our colours , and about eight o ' clock began the action with the French admiral ( in a ship of So guns ) . At

this time his shot were flying over us without any effect ; but our shot were fired in so excellent a direction , that he by no means steered steady , and did not show a wish to come along side of us without the other line of battle ship , which he might easily have done , as he sailed the fastest , but we imagined he had no wish to get up with us , unless the ship in company with him , and of equal force , could come up at the same time , and engage us both sides at once . The action continued in this manner till near one o ' clock in the daywe receiving the fire

, of both the enemy's ships at intervals , and returning their fire . One of the French frigates came upon our quarter , andsent several shot over us , but on our bringing some of our guns to bear on her , she sheered off , and none of the other frigates presumed to come up . " At about twelve o ' clock we slackened our stays and rigging , knocked the ' / edges out of our masts , and star ; eel some water iii the hold , by which means
