AMERICA. MADAME TOUSSAINT. New Yoss, SIPT. 6.—Tbe widow of the unfortu sate TOUSSAINT haejult landed upon our Confiaent. Her accounts of her own and her hufband's (offerings, from Bo 's tyranny and executions, would be incredible, were they not already equalled by the Corfican's former atrocities, and thole of his accom plices.

At 'their landing at Bourdeaux, they were feparated, though but up in the fame prifon.— What happened fence to her hutband the goes not know, nor is The yet certain Whether he bas writhed, as the French papers have publifhed, in a dungeon at Befaueon ; or whether, with a mutilated body, he continues to breath the pefiilental air of French gaols, espied to the cruelties, and enduring •that confine ment in torments, which French ingenuity fo ably invents, and Of which Curliest .
