New Yoik July 3. A report was laft evening in general circulation that Mr. Jefferfon had died fuddenly at his ifat in Virginia. We taok fome pains to afcertain the foutce of this report, and found that it was received by a gentleman direel from Fred-ericktown.

The accident, it appears, happened st night, no doubt from fome fatal error at the wheel on board one or, perhaps both fhips.

I then got poffefficn of the Frenchmen's arvis, and drove tha man at the helm. On feeing this, they all ran aft, but when I met them with the boy armed, they retreated and, we drove them all into the fore caftle, without any injury, exceprtothe man atths helm, who made fome refinance, for vvhich I cut him with a fword he fooa yielded, and was not materially Charles Cook was the other boy I had on board but he being forward to affik them in felting the fail, he had nochanc lo us any afiiftance, nor did he evea know what we were going t.o undertake.

I ex ped it in a few days from Guadaloupe. With refpect to the Spaniards, 1 hope this will be made public, as I conceive they had no right to" meddle with rne, as I had complete poffeflion of the veffel and knowing we were not at war th them.
