He was fo fatigued when he artived at Vincennes, that he flept profoundly during the fitting of the Military Comnaiffion, which condemned him, and it was neceffary to awake him to read his fentence to him. He met death without terror ; he would not e►en fuffer his eyes to be bound, and feveral Generals, who wifhed to be witneffes of his tall moments, were allonithed at the coolnefs and contempt with which he refigned life.

In one of his Tall examinations, Pichegru was coatonted whit Georges. They were, however, in all appearance, very good friends, and Georges called Pichegru a Republican General. Within there two days a report has been circulated very favourable to General Mors/v, which is, that* be will not be tried with the other State criminals. Yefierday it was reported that the Di .Le de BERRY in a nage coach, ten miles lions this, was arrelled, along with a foreigner who uccompassi,:d ; and that Pichegru had died in piton. Both reports fecm equally without foundation. When they :lazed the Polignazs, in their examina tion, if Picini -it had been received into the Councils of the Prince ?

We learn with horror, that the Whites left in St. Domingo, both at Aux Cayes and Port au•Prince, atter the evacuation of that ifland by the French troops, hare been maffacred by the Blacks. A letter dated New Yin k, March the 3d, has the following intelligence upon this lubjeft :—Captain FAIRC HILD, who attired at this port yellersiay, in the brig Ann, from Aux Cayes, informs us, that on the aI ft of January, about 7o white inhabitants were maffacred by the brigands, and thrown into the river, laid to be in confetjuence of the Commander having received intelligence that General DIISALINES might he daily lexpeCted there from Port•au•Prince to replace him, and that he (the Commander) had determined to ufe his power, fo long as it fhould be continued to him, in avenging the injuries of the Blacks. The fame night a number of armed Negroes and Mulat toes entered the houfe of Mr. Gaara say x, and after pillaging all his effeCt., carried him out of the city, where they maffacred him with two others, ,named BECHE and HINIII. On the following day the Black General, CERRO.

The following day th;city was comparatively tranquil ; but there is reafon to lup pMe that the Negroes will ultimately butcher all the i'lench Whites within their power.

While we re fledt on the bravery of this young officer, it is but fair to remark, that the conduit of Lieutenant W.

That part of the bullion which came from Gibraltar was fhipped by the merchants, unJer an impreflion that the M0111401:TH would immediately fail for England ; but on the receipt of difpotchdu from Lord Nzusos, ordering her up the Adriatic. they applied to have tire money relanded.
