Tivz Msnikur contaias a very long letter from General Ric to the Minifter of the Marine, head giiartcrs at Baffe-Terre, May zB, in which the General gives i minute de tail or the operations of the at my under his com• mind, from the time of his landing on the ithnd till the 27th of May. As the fuhrlance of a great part of this letter has been given in General R ICH 5- PAN E'S preceding difpatch (fee STAR of Thurfday ), we (hall reftime the account at the 21ft of May, the day on which the it:; s roes evacuated the lot t : On the evening of the zt a : all the enemy's cannon were dfnuatuted i r loc.i d under the ruins of the fort, our bombs bullets reached the bl.,;k: in every corner, and without dating to w.tit til! that tip, at eight in the evening they evicaatell tl.e ffat by the poflern sae of Galion, to the wity..e: of about 400 Icsnlar troops, coin rnaatle,l by Dri-onE and accompanied by a maltitade of blacks completely armed : General G.041 , 7,1* yet out in rurfuit t.f :':em ;:7 1 00 n.c t,an.: came !•r , o itli them :it the ment. :i•cy l:ad re, cin,i ti• entrenched poa of was carried h) bayonet.

The remaining 4oc men under C.:eleral Goßtit•r, repaired to Grande Tel-re, to which the chiefs of the rebels, lonaes .Ind PA LFRAF, had ieturned with a new body of arra•:.! blacks, to butcher, as th-y faid, the white inhabitant:, an,! let fire to the plantationc, as they had Ilrc.nly done at Capeilerre, the richeii part of the "The p.; 'lige of." the river Sal4::c was ohftinately cl:Stade,l by tie troops of the 37th and Sad, left at Crantle:re: re ; but they were not able to check the enemy, who w.re too numerous : their force increafed every hour, and they even feized on the redonbt of Binthriche, which, fortunately, they dirarned,and marched againft Point-a-Pitre. General COB F KT, having joined the troops which came from Balie-T.:rre, ail tunic left at Grande- Terre, and the ntm of the Nati , :nal Guard, haf tened to meet the enemy, and forced them to con cannon made them give way ; our valorous fol. 1 d:ers, hurried cn by a deftre of conquering, pens trated into the redoubt, made a dreadful carnage, and in a moment all the brigands were deilroyed or difperfed. IchACE was found among the dead. The Chef de Brigade, PELAGE, continue.' during this a.lion to give marks of the moil hetoic cou rage. " The 25th and 26th were employed in rally ing the troops and reconnoitering in :he Parc and Matoubas, excellent retreats for the infurgcnr, and where the difpcfitions which they had added to the great advantages of nature, feemed to put it in their power to refine a elifadvantageous combat, and to fpread themfclves at pleafure by fudden incitrftons over every part of Balk• Terre. It was, therefore, necelfary to increafe our efforts of every kind. The obilinate enemy whom we had hitherto beat with fo much difficulty, was about to empley the laft refonrces, which in his rage and defpair he found very powerful ; the French foldiers ac quired equally Ilrong refources in their defire to maintain their reputation, and to prove that they arc irrclinahle, when commiffioned to punith and lubdue rebels. 4. The enemy then had his advanced polls at the plantation Grichard, at the fummit of the angle formed by the Riviere Noire and the Riviere des Pere!, the banks of which are perpendicular, and more titan fifty feet in height : the great body of them being polled at the large plantation of Au glement, always defended by the rivers, and forti fied by parapets furnifhed with pallifades and can non, an attack in front was loon confidered as im pollible even to be attempted : it was neceflary to divide our forces, and to endeavour to at in con cert, to prevent us from having to combat fepa ratcly. "On the morning of the z7th, the zd battalion of the 66th, commanded by the Chef CA M RBI EL, to whom I had united my aide-de-camp, Cap tain LAPOINTR, fet out from Legret, and by a road which he traced out through horrible pre cipices, paired the Mornes Hoiiel, Colin, and the plantation Lafalle, from which he drove the ene my, and purfued them as far as Prefbytere. The 3d battalion of the 66th attended by the Morne Louis, foon fell in with the ene:of, drove them before them, and climbed up, wi,;l an ardour be yond all exptellion, the Morne iii Macieux, de fended by artillery, which they defeated. " The Chef de Battalion, DELACROIX, was then wounded. I immediately fent the Chief d'Efcadron, MA Pi COM a LE, my Aide-de-camp, to affume his place; but the brave DELACROIX, in that glorious moment, would remain with his battalion, who, proud of having him with them, croffed tile river des Peres, and, after furmount ing many obftacles, reached the pofition of Pre fby tete, always repulfing the enemy towards their centre at Auglemont. The referve of the grenadiers, commanded by my Aidc-de-CampCe BE, rcfolvcd to make a very ufcful diverfion in attempting to reach Grichard, by the morne Conflantine ; but thole who made their appearance there were obliged to yield without firing a tingle fhot, and Capt. CRAZE had his hark killed under him. The grenadiers were then forced to renounce an enter prize, the fuccefs of which would not have been worth the deftrudion of the whole Corps. I was then certain that tile enemy would aot effeft their retreat by the latter pafTage, which our grenadiers would have defended with as much advantage as the enemy had done on the oppolhe fide. We were alio well allured that the pofts of Grichard, and the troops of Auglemont, could not avoid com ing to an engagement, with the two battalions of the 66th, united as already Paid on the heights of Pi cfbytere. After halting for a moment, thefe two battalions marched in a column to Augle mont. During a quarter of an hour they braved a fhower of balls and bullets, without being able to return the fire. Nothing flopped them, and feveral of them were already within the en trenchrniits, %viten the enemy, at their laft pufh, eftaped into the habitation, let fire to their gun powder, and blew thcmfclves up, to the number of 3co, among whom was DEL GREASE. This fpedacle was horrible : a momentary fluperadion took place on both fides ; but we loon conceived the idea of taking advantage of the diforder oe cafioned by inch events, and the day was ter minated with the entire deftrudion of all the ene my who had efcaped the explofion. We loft in the courfc of this day the advanced polls of two columns, and Lieutenant Fatty lam, who entered the habitation of Auglcmont. The moment be fore it blew up Capt. PETIT was feverely wounded. " This laft affair has deftroyed the revolt in its fource : the Chief, are dead ; all the refl are dila:met!, and having fubmitted, have returned to that lahour which they ought neverto have quitted. 4 , The white men belonging to the army who could not leave the ifland, were on our arrival col l.:del in fort Saint-Charles. The execution of a well concerted proje6l for blowiog them up when the fort fhould be forced to furrcnder, very luckily mifcarried by our promptitude in purfuing the ene " I am now eollcning all the particular fans • which ..lzferve rewards from Government.

From the contents of the above difpatch, it ap pcats plain that the French have had a very hard ftrtTgle with the negrocc, in which they fill fered fevereiy. We are tn . ,t told the amount of the lots, which mull have been confiderable : even the dreadful explofion by which two of the advanced polls were deb oycd, may have been the fpringing.of a mine infleael of what is flated.— u..it with impatience for later details, as it is poilible this vidlory may have been bought fo deatly as to render the conquerors unable to fol. j low it up with inch cite& as to prevent any fr.lh infurreclion. Indeed the Negroes are not the only foe the French have to contend with The principal Comm iflioner of the Marine at Bourdcaus has announced, that a de flruaive fever prevails at Point a Pitre, Guadaloupe, which at tacks in particular Europeans who abandon them felves to intemperance.

The accounts from this Ifland thew how well grounded the fears were, that if the Negroes lately in infurreEtion there had aged on a fyftem of pro. crafiination, the fickly feafon would have put it out of the power of die French army to accomplifh the objea for which it was fent out. To prevent any change of mind in TOUSSAINT that might re vive the rebellion, it has been thought wife to fend him home. The charges exhibited againft him in tile Commander's letter, which we fuhjoin, may or may not be true. But if he was refolved to fend him a prifimer to France in violation of the Treaty, it was neceffary that fomc pretext Ihould be fet up for doing fo. THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARMY OP ST. DOMINGO TO THE. MINISTER Or THE. MARINE. Head-quartert at the Cape, June it. Citizen Mini informed you in one of my laft difpatches of the pardon I was pleafed to grant to General Toussamr. This ambitious man, from the moment I pardoned him, did not ceafe to carry on a private confpiracy. If he furren derei, it was hecaufe Generals CHRISTOPHE and DESSALINIS had fignified to him that they plainly law he had deceived them, and that they were de termined to carry on the war no longer, but find ing himfer abandoned by them, he endeavoured to organize among the plaMation negroes an in furration, to make them rife in a mars. The re. ports tranfinitted to me by all the Generals, and even from General DESSALINES, refpeting the coadna he had purfuzd fiuce his fubmittion, left me no doubt on that head. I intercepted letters which he wrote to one named FONTAINE, who was his agent at the Cape. Thefe letters incon tcflably prove that he was forming a confpiracy, and willied to refttme his former influence in the Colony. He Waited for the effea of difeafe in the a: my. In thefe circumftances it was neceffary that I (hould not leave him time to accompli(h his cri minal proje&s: I gave orders for his being arrell ed : the Wind's was not eafv, but I fucceeded by the good difpofitions of BausEr, General of Di• vilion, to whom I had entru(led it, and by the zeal and readinefs of Citizen FERRARI, my Aide-de.
