FRANCE. PARIS, AUGUST u. The details you have publitbed of the general mat (acre of the Whites in the Hind of St. Domingo, are unfortunately but ton authentic : they can be =di ed by the planters who efcaped from that ifland, and hive jai arrived at Paris, where I have ken and heard them, being myrelf a party concerned. If you defire particular information, I am going to Rate that for which I can vouch. k M. La CAVSSADR, from Bourdeant (whore fit ter is at Paris) made a voyage to the Weft Indies with a cargo ; he was at Cape Francois in April.— • With a view to fare his property, he deemed it pru dent to pay his court to the Negro Chiefs, by fealling them. Five days after the proclamation of the 28th of April was iffued by DISSA LIN is, he invited Des. saunas, and about forty of his Generals and Offi cers to dine with him ; which they accepted. The dinner was fumptuous, accompanied by riotous gaiety, and finifhed with libations of Champaign, drank to the health of General D rats, and given by M. La CAUSSADS to that of the peo ple of Hayti, dm The General, in his turn, gave the health of his hat : this was the fignal. No boner was this toaft f iven. than the two who fat next to M. La CAUL lane cited him, the one by the Weal and the other by the thigh : they lifted him up, and firetched him upon the table. Each of the goats took his knife; and buried it in the body of the unfortunate White. The cannibals vied with each other, in the words of the proclamation, 6 for the honour of ftriking the Grit blow.' From La CAUSSADS'S honk they repair ed to M. Totals's, a merchant, demanded Come li quor, clfank it, and aliffinated him. Next they went to M. ARNAUD'S ; then to another white man's, lopped off his arms and legs, and left the trunk alive as long as nature could fupport it. They next pro rt to M. Heitoivittises, partner in the hook of FoacKs ' &c. The cries of the dying flirted, and were heard in every hook. 0 Madame Cloaca was at home with her three daughters, young, interefting, and well bred girls. The Blacks entered her honk, fword in hand. The .women fled to the balcony, where the three young girls were poignardcd. The mother not being flab led, fainted away. By a refinement of cruelty, the monfiers recalled her to life by the fcent of vinegar, and forced her to contemplate the (hocking fpeelacle of her murdered daughters, weltering in their blood. A Black, more compaflon..te, put a rope round the neck of the unfortunate mother, fattened it to the railing of the balcony, and threw the to dy over ; in this Rate the expired. I had a filler in law 'a the town, (her loiter daughter), and other relations Done of whom efcaped. " Thefe, Sir, are tome traits of the tin`leard of cruelties committed at the Cape by the Bla ks upon the White people, the race of whom is now cant& in that fine Colony. Here you fee the tern tof the philofophical declamations, which ailed from the lips of the friends of the Blacks.

A good deal of firing was heard on Thurfday, but the particulars are not yet known. Many well-informed people believe, that if the invaGon be not now attempted it never will. We are not of that opinion—We think the attempt will be made—but, in fpite of the a ffertions expreffed byfome of our contemporaries, that a few days will witnefs the effort, we are of opinion, the period is not yet at. rived. It is well, however, to be prepared—nor fhottld the paling away of the prefent or any future alarm, be fuffered to leffen our vigilance. It appears by va rious articles in the French journals, that B is expeBed to pay a •ifit to Stra(burgh, where pre• partitions ire aOually making for his reception. If this be not a falfe rumour propagated With a view to miflead, the expedition is not yet ready to fail. When it is ready, that objea alone will occupy his whole octal on. The demtmfirations on the part of the enemy, for the Lft four days have, however, been of Co decided a nature, that Government has found it neceffary to confiderably re-inforce our fquadron. The lateli direa intelligence from the fquadron on the French coat, has been brought by the General Cuote, which arrived on Thurfday in the Downs from Boulogne. She left three of our frigates, and all the lighter veffels engaged, in the words of our letter, " with a holt of the enemy's flotilla." Not one veffel of the enemy, which was not difabled, had returned into port. The General Coote returned merely for provifions, and when fupplied, fet fail di. rally for her poll. She was followed by the ADAMANT, of fifty guns, and all the difpefable force in the Downs. A great number of (mall craft, to match thofe of the enemy, are now in readinefs, and we are happy to add, that a number of ifre Jilifra will form a part of the next expedition. The latter, without any probable loft of men, will give to the enemy a lelfon not eafily to be forgotten. From the Paris Journals which reached us yefter day, we have given tome farther meads in the pre ceding column. The fubjoined articles are alto worthy of A Mice. The one refpeiling Count HAUG wirz, though dated from Hamburgh, is evidently of the fame manufaanre as the article which we gave yetlerday from the liconitettr, rcfpaling the Kiwo of Swaim. It is publifhed fulely with a view to remove from the minds of the French, all ideas that the change in the Pruffian Cabinet has any connexion with political circumtlanccs. FITEISBUICH. JULY 18 —Our fleet, it is aid, will be formed into two divitions, one of which will cruize near Bornholm, and the Ather will be Rationed in the Mediterranean. A d'iamber of commerce has been eflablithed at the new port of °delta, on the Black Sea, the commerce of which continually in creates. According to the hit 'boas from Georgia, the epidemic difeale which appeared in that country, has 101 l a great deal of its malignity, and teems ap proaching to its termination. FlONTrs■s (4' ITALY, JULY 3o.—One of our jour nals announces, that tome Ruffian troops have march ed from Georgia to take polfeftion of Imiretia, the ancient Colchis, which has lung been a retreat for free-hooters. This prosince, ialsich paid tribute to the Porte, was emancipated from it in 5774, by the Treaty between the Turks and the Ruffians. By an other Treaty, concladcci in 1783, it was placed un der the proteaion of Ruflia. This country is poor, and the ti ibure it paid to the Grand Seignior coafted only of 8o children of both fetes. H•xt ri cry:l4, Atro. 4. —One of the Berlin Gazettes contains the tell•rwing article What has been before faid in this journal in regard to Count de Ilaucwir z requires Come explanation: His Excel lency having been twelve years abtent from his et tales in Silefta, found that they had been managed in a manner highly prejudicial to his interefts, and there fore folicited the King to grant him leave of abfcnce fu two years.

His Excellency will repair about the middie of this month tri t but Lo wards winter he will return hither and tefide alter inately at Berlin and in Silefia. The Miniftcr of State, Baron de llar !ERG, will, during his &Vence, take charge c f the portfolio of foreign affairs. ".—Mcnitrur, topied from tbe HAMtURCH, Av c. tg.—Letterr from Copenha- I gen bring an account of the arrival of a KLAGIII fleet before Bornholm, confining, as come fay, of nine flips of the line and feveral frigates, amounting in the whole to fifteen fail. Three fhips of the line and three frigates are deflined for the Mediterranean, and it is espefled that another divifion will loon anchor before the Dan& capital. It is reported that thefe flaps will join the former ones, and another fquadron arrive from Cronftadt. This caufes feveral conjec. tures under the prefent circumflances, though the German papers pretend that lately the Emperor was prefent at a Grand Council of State at St. Peterfburgh, in which it was decided not to enter into a new war. —Hasse Cosratst, Avg. as. HASIZORG u. ALIO. 1 new commercial MVO lotion fecms to threaten the North of Europe, and to ruin in part the trade carried on by the merchants in the principal ports of the Baltic. This revolution will be entirely to the advantige of Ruffia, and in the following manner :—The Emperor Ai.Exatiosa has affigned funds to feveral men of enterprise, well acquainted with commerce, in order that they may eftablah themfelves in the ports of the focthern dif tries of Ruffia, and particularly in the Crimea. Se veral of them have been fettled for fome years at °della, and we are informed, that all their fpeculations have not only fucceeded, but they have been able to maintain commercial relations Co continued, that the whole country has already derived great benefit from them. A great many (hips, Englifh,SpaniftOtalian, Auftrian, and even French, repair to the ports of the Crimea, and the owners of them make confiderable purchafes of corn, honey, wax, wool, and other arti• cles, with which that country abounds. This com merce mull naturally extend more and more, for all the predations of the fouthern part of Ruffia can be tranfported with the greateft facility on the Dnieper, the Dueller, and the Don, to the Black Sea, and to the ports of the Crimea, where the Ruffian merchants' will in future be certain of finding a favourable op portunity to difpofe of their merchandise for ready money. The profit which Ruffia gains by its trade in the condi of a year is eftimated at feveral millions of rix dollars. There advantages mutt inireafe every year by this new branch of commerce, in proportion as the conne.tion of the merchants, and agents of Odeffa and the other ports of the Crimea, are extended. ' But it prefents a difmal prafpeit to the merchants of Koningfberg , Dantzic, Eibing, and other ports in the Baltic. Hitherto they have been accunomed to coiled in their warehoufes all the productions of Ruffia, which are commonly exported there ; thefe they afterwards fold for a great profit to the Englifh, French, Dutch, and the other nations in the Sou thern andWeftern parts of Europe This branch of commerce, and that of corn in particular, brought from thefouthern parts of Ruftia, formed the principal aka of their trade. At prefent thefe productions may be procured much miter, and at a cheaper rate from the ports of the Crimea. The great fpeculators of Europe will, no doubt, take advantage of this new channel. The effect of thefe changes, which will have a great influence on the commercial relations of our Merchants, begins already to be felt in the ports of the Baltic. Lord KIITH arrived in town at fix o'clock yefler day evening, and having attended at the Admiralty, ilfued orders for his hortes to be in readinefs at twelve o'clock at night, to convey him again to the wall.
