'That opi nion, however, was founded on circum (lances which have fence affumgd a complexion of which thole who entertained it can hardly be foppofed to have been then informed; but which, wt hope, would reach them in time to caufe fume delay at-leaft in the evacuation, till huh inaruftions Ihould arrive from home. • It is now Tome time fince the fate of Malta was underftcod as definitively fettled betweek country and France.

The remainder of the rebels, whore flight into the woods prevented the army from reaching them, I ' con fi fts of tome hundreds of fcatterednegroes , the I half of whom only are armed. The number does not exceed that of the Negroes. formerly called Maroon: in the Colony. Their expeditions are in general confined to fecret incurfions into the level country to carry off a few cattle• and manioc.— They are driven back as Coon ai obferved,and never make their appearance - till urged by famine. I have caufed their retreats to be furrounded, and have formed fnares to furprize them. This was the fyltem of war adopted by General Rs. CHEPANSE, and, which General GOSEILT executed with the greateft fuccefs. This General Officer being obliged to return to France for the reftoration of his health, which has Coffered by the fatigues of war, the Command of the troops has devolved on Adjutant-Commandant Miss AID, Chief of the Staff of General RICH r ratice, whom that General honoured with his particular efteem and affedtion. In begging you to requeft from the FIRST CON SUL, for this fuperior Officer, the rank of Ge neral of Brigade, I fulfil in . regard to him the well known intentions of General Ricozratiss, at the fame time that I only folicit the reward due to his Cervices' and datinguithed talents. I cannot call die" attention of Government too much to the Cervices rendered by The army to Guadaloupe.

The unexampled malady which this year has ravaged the American Colonies has been felt at Guadeloupe, but I have the fatisfadtion of being able to announce to you that it has abated, and we have more convalefcents than tick ; but the Rate of convalefcence is long and painful : and I Tusk diffemble that in chafing the Maroons, the Soldiers too often forget the orders given them to be careful of their' health, and not I r 4 abandon themfelvesentirelY to the impttuofity of their am ,rage, which induces them to undergo fatigue be lend their drength.

This letter is followed by an official report by General GOBART of the events which toOk place . in Guadeloupe, from the arrival of the army, on the 16th of Flores' (May 6th), to the ath of Frudi dot "(Sept. 5). As the mod important of thefe events have been already detailed, we (hell give only the following exile! •.; " The affaffination of three foldien towards the end of Meffidor, and tome cartridges carried off, occafioned new alarms. The imprudence of our foldiers was the only enure of their lofs k but it was neetkary that they fhould be continually on their guawt—to purfue them in the Woods is ufelers, when we are not fore of finding them. gi There woods are immure and•intpenetrable. The mornes on which they rife are fteep, and form peaks above a great number of rivers and ftreams that traverfe them in every diredion.— There is no place in the world more proper, in every refped, for concealing Brigand.

To all there difficulties is added a reafon-which ought to render incorfions into the .woods lets frequent. Almoik all the foldieri who have undertaken them inconfiderately, have been attacked by the. malady.

" At prefent almon all the blacks belonging to the plantations have returned. They labour a s during the molt peaceable times. The inhabitant who wishes to remain on his plantation, and does not believe himfelf expofed, is Sheltered from all uneaficefs.. The maroons are never more than three or four together, and are much lefs numer. ous than they were at the moll florithing p er i o d s . Abnott all the Chiefs, and particnlarly thofe who were mutt dreaded, are in our hart/ ; and I anr fully convinced, that neither this nor any other 'colony was ever in a fafer gate. The fear aim; and uneafinefs of fome inhabitants may leave doubts, as to the condition of affairs. The de partrue of one black from his plantation, the fight of an Ajoupa, are things more important than formerly, and give more uneafinefs, but the pro. prietors who have returned, mutt loon put an end to this uneafinefs. Vigilance, uo doubt, will be ftill required. People never emerge from a (late of violent crifis without Come leaven remaining, and neglea may produce new misfortunes, but the highways of France even would not be fecure if an :relive gendamrerie did not watch over their fafety. " The greateft enemy we have in this country is the malady, but it feems to have abated fence it deprived us of our Chief. The troops, during thiee months and a half, havenottloft more than fix men by the hands of the brigands, and theft perithed only by their imprudence." ACTS OF GOVERNMENT.
