We have received Paris Journals to the 2d ink. and their contents are of importance. The Moni ter► of the ift contains a philippic againft this country, which furpaffes all its predeceffors in ma• lignity. It is not copied into it from another jour. nal, and therefore, in the ark:left fenfe, may be confidered as the official at of the French Go vernment. The foundation of this attack is the affertion made by Lord PELHAM, in Parliament, that we have not abandoned our views on the Continent, but that Miniaers will watch to improve our connedions there. Indignant that Britain lhould prefume to have connedions on the Conti nent, the lifonikur, under pretence of attacking the, Gainvmsts, in reality attacks our Miniftry.— Who but the Mini ftry could fend a frigate to watch at Genoa ? The Britifh Cabinet, then, is charged with agitating the Continent, with promoting re colutionary plots in Naples and Rome, affaffina tion from the ifland of Jerfey ; with being guilty of every clandefline and atrocious ad to difturb the peace of fociety and embroil Europe. This is the language of France, the official language of the French Government, at the very moment when the Britifh Minifters have aflumed a molt pacific tone, and prefcribed for themfelves a pa. cific line of condo& ! This is the pacific fpirit of France ! this is her defire of only entering into a rivalry of commerce with England ! And all be. caufe Lord PELHAM had the audacity to entertain thoughts of forming connedions with the Conti nent when favourable circumaances fhould offer ! If we prefume but to name the Continent, it feems, we mull be denounced as incendiariesand robbers ! The mole notorious falfehoods are reforted to, to inflame the Sovereigns of Europe agaiaft this country. Mr, Wrannaw is accufed of having called the Ruffian people•ferocious barbarians, in sAifgraceful fenfe, though the erroneous report of what he faid, has been corroded and re•ltated in the Route. He never ufed fuch languag e,or any language like it. We are accufed too of encouraging a libellous pamphlet on the King of Pau ssta, though no fuch pamphlet exifts. By reforting to fueh falfehoods to provoke theft monarchs, we are in hopes that France feels they are difpofed to fee their real interelts, and to efpoufe the fentiments of Britain. The great rage of the Monitor at fuel an offence as the words of Lord Pa LH AN, and fo flight an offence, gives good reafon to prefume, that Bow♦ feels there is real danger of England forming not only connec tions, but powerful connedions on the Continent. Such is the fury of this official article, that it even prefumes so prefcribe laws for England, and to defire that Minifters turned out of office &odd not again fit in Parliament for feven years! For our own part we have little doubt, however, that all the circumflances alledged relative to the condut of the agents of this Government on the Continent, are utterly falfe. Minifters would be not merely incapable, but abfolutely deflitute of common fence, if they encouraged or ptadifed fuch miferable and contemptible manmovres. The perAffage of flopping a man's mouth two Tears, if he lays any thing in Parliament difagree a'Ae to Foreign Powers, fcarce deferves notice; but tie menace, that Foreign Powers may at laft think proper to fay that freedom of fpeech (ball ceafe ii Parliament, is of a more ferious nature ! ! The Paris Journals contain an authentic copy f Bow* aaaaa 's letter to the Swifs Deputies,which as been publifhed at Laufanne. This letter dif• ers from the account we have already given of it ri regard to Tome particular expreffions ; but in tub lance and in meaning it is the fame. Bo AAAAA ra 'vs he mutt fpeak to the Deputies as the Chief 6 lagiftrate of two great countries ;—that he never sill difguife from them that France will not fuf ;et a fyßem favourable to her enemies to be pfiablifhed in Switzerland. He propofes three rinciples IR, an equality of rights among the .ighteen Cantons ; ad, a renunciation, fincere and oluntary, of their privileges, by the Patrician fa• ilies ; and 3d, a federal organifation : each can n to organife itfelf according to its language, its ligion, its manners, its intereß, and its opinions. The Mositevr contains an article reprefenting the evenue of the Republic to be in a molt flourithing r.ndition. The revenues are near four millions ?ling above the receipt of the preceding year. confequence of there flattering Ratements, the :ids continue to rife. They are 56 f. 6o e. 'lle Cabinet of Vienna has at length agreed to Ccer.', 9 fser of the Extraordinary Deputation ; .1 it is confidently timed, that the Convention !sreen Prance and Auftria, refpeaing the In. aunties to be granted to the Grand Duke of Tumors., has been ratified at Vienna, by his TM 'mac MAJESTY. It was expeaed that the Auf trian troops would, in confequence of this defini tive arrangement, immediately evacuate l'affau. _ _ _ The Hanfetowns, and particularly Hamburgh. Bremen, and Lubec, complain however of the obaacles they experience in taking poffellion of the indemnities Aligned to them, and fome remon ftranccs have followed. By the New York Mail, we have papers to the 4th lilt. which continue to bring gloomy accounts from St. Domingo. The extirpation of the Blacks is reprefented as the only mode of recovering that Wand, and the French, it is faid, hold no more than the Cape, the Mole, and Port Republicain. The accounts from Guadaloupe are equally difaf• trot's. The Blacks have rifcn there, and maffacred many of the French feeders. The Moniteur, received hall night, contains a flattering notice from Mar tinique. NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE. MAILS THIS DAY.-WIND N. E. •auvan. z Dublin, 3 Waterford z French DUr. PORTSMOUTH, lAN. 4.

PHILADELPHIA, DEC. 2.—Letters from Port Republican, received here, dated Nov. 1, uniformly reprefent the lunation of that ifland to be a (cone of alma unexampled confufion and horror, from the want of neceffary reinforcements, and from the fuscefs of the infurgents. The white inhabitants, who, for fome time pall, have retired into the towns and ports on the fea coal, for fafety, are now obliged to reek refuge in the firongly fortified places, abandoning thole they leave wholly to the ' military. A barge, on its ;mirage from St. Mark to Port Republican, loaded with women and children, was boarded by a party of eighteen Negroes, who, after taking poffeftion of her, maffacred every per. fon on board. They were afterwards captured by a French frigate t fixteen of them were killed, and the remaining two, on their being brought to Port Republican, were torn in pieces by the inhabitants. CHRISTOPHI and DassaLesss had deferted to the infurgents. Naw-Yoga, Dec. 4.—The afpetl of affairs at St. Domingo appears, by every intelligence, to grow Rill more gloomy. The fovereign contempt in which the French held the negroes, has led to the moil fatal confequences. Their f ubjugation was to have been the work of a few weeks, which was to have reftored the unfortunate planters to the tranquil poffeffion of their eflates. Many refpeaa ble families, who, during the late war, had fought and found an af ylum in the United States, allured by the flattering accounts of the French opera tions, have returned to St. Domingo and Guada• loupe. Their fate is truly to be commiferated. The little they had been able to five from the former wreck of their fortunes is likely to be totally diffipated, and themfelres and families are expof ed to be maffacred by the enraged and unrelent ing Blacks. After the fate of Toussatar, thefe outrageous negroes will never repofe confidence in any overtures or ftipulations on the part of the French nation. Nothing &tart of total extirpation I can re-eftablith the colonies of St. Domingo and Guadaloupe, a dreadful expedient, which, moll likely, will defy every effort of the French. The probability is, that thefe iflands mutt, at left, be abandoned to the negroes. Lail Monday arrived at Philadelphia the brig Jfeph and James, Captain Warsos , from Port epublicain, which he left the 2d ult. Captain WATSOII mentions that it was not fo fsckly as it has been, but notwithftanding which the fever Rill makes ravages among the European foldiers. Captain WATSON fays, he underfiood the French were preparing to evacuate St. Marks, Gonaives, and Leogane. That the Blacks were in poffeffion of l'Arcahaye, from whence they fired on the brig Joleph and James, as the palled that place, but without ailed. _ _ _ .... The force at Port Republicain does not amount to more than 3000 troops and 2000 white iuhabi• tants, a force too inadequate to make any great imprztfioa on the large body of negroes in arms in drat neighbourhood, between whom frequent fkirmithes take place, which has little other elfe6t than the reduaion of both panics. At St. Mark, the French, growing jealous of the Black troops in their pay, drew up fi x hundred of them and furrounded them, with an intention of difarming them, but the negroes refilled to de• liver up their arms, and fired on the furrounding troops, which they returned, and every negro was maffacred on the fpot. Cruelty Items to be the order of the day at Hit - - paniola. A few days before Captain Waysow failed, a brig and boat were taken and brought in; all the brigands except two, were killed.—One of thole brought in faid, that they had, Come hide time before, taken a fchooner full of white women, all of whom they put to death, and that his com rade, who then lay wounded near him, had. with the worm fixed on the ramrod, twilled out the eyes of fcveral of the white women while alive! On coming through the Bite of I.cogane, he Caw a great number of dead negroes and lone feat whites floating in the fea, and he was told schooner weekly, and perhaps oftener, at Port P. • publicaine, took 100 or 150 negroes on board, c.s• vied them out of the Port, and on the fira o fecond night Ilifled them, by burning brinillt,a,, in the hold, and theh threw the bodies overboard We have been told fomething of the fame kind was fuppofcd to be pratlifed fit the Cape. A brig there frequently took a number of blacks on board, went to fea, and in a few days returned empty—what became of them our informant did not pretend to fay. Capt. WATSON fan it was reported that CHR IS TOTHE and DESSALINES, with a large proportion of the blacks who were in the fervice of the French, had revolted ; but this, with any account he get from Cape Nicola, were tai vague that they were lcarce worth repeating; every account, how• ever, teems to predia the total evacuation of that illand by the French, without a confiderable rein• forcement, which, from any thing we have fern, feems rather at a diflance. Captain WATSON law (even fail of the line, ap• patently fleeting for Jamaica. We are informed that the Executive has receiv ed advises, that the port of New Orleans has been doled againft foreign veffels from the Ocean, in cluding American, and that the tight of depolitiog American property there has been prohibited. wit:. out any other effabliffiment being aligned in lien of it. The right to export property before depofited, was excepted from the prohibition. Thefe regula ti ms, fo contrary to our Treaty with Spain, were p iblithed at New Orleans by the Intendant on the ph of Chnober laft. • We are told, that tome time ago, information being given to the Commandant at IliiPaniola, that a fehooner was fupplying the Blacks with mi li,at y Itores, Ste. a French frigate was difpatclied to fein her, when a chafe of r 5 days took place, and the fchooner got into St. Thomas before the frigate, when the Captain ran her tinder the pro telion of the fort and two Daniffi frigates lying there. The Frenchman followed, and immediately fent his barge with a body of marines, and took polftflion of the fchooner, notwithflanding being in a foreign port, under the protalion of its gnn• . —The Captain of the fchooner having puttied . Ihore as loon as he came to anchor, the Freud: Captain demanded him of the Governor, who re• plied, he could not give up a Burgher, which 'he Captain of the fchooner was : what farther took place. our informant did not learn. Arc runts from Martinique flare, that a great mortality has prevailed amongft the French troops which took pnlfetlion of that ifland. They had be..n obliged to abandon Fort Royal, where sco men and Officers had died; and the contagion having fol!owzd them to Fort Bourbon, they were about 'o (hut up that Garrifon alfo, and remove to Grand Morne. All commercial intercourfe with the Bri tifh Colonies is prohibited at Martinique. The Newburyport Herald, of Toefday lays, 4' Captain Buirtoc, arrived yeaerday, has t. 'd us the fituation of Guadeloupe in fome meafure, which is horrid indeed : confuflon, pillage, blood (bed, and murder, is the order of the day ; the infurgents do altually gain ground, and Captain B. fpeaks of it as his opinion, that if liens troops do not fhortly arrive, the Blacks will have poffef. lion of the ifland. To minute the fhocking trans . - attions that daily occur would be too tedious. — They have extended their ravages to Point Petro. but at St. Ann's, a (mall town about 15 mile's from there, a malfacre of the inhabitants, without regard to age or fez, took place about the middle of October ; hanging and (hooting of the IllacLs has become fo common, that the fpeftator there is hardly afluated by emotions of aflonifhment at the fcene-180 of thofe poor wretches were executed at one time, at Baffeterre, about a week before Captain Buitriso failed. The fever is fill mak ing its ravages, not only among the French troop., but on the Americans there. Markets are tolera bly good." By an annual report made to the Governor of Pennfylvania by the Board of Health of Philadcl. phia, it appeals, that during the prevalence of the late malignant fever, s to difeafed perfons were admitted into the City Hofpital.

HANANNAN, Nov. 3. —Since my lift the Gover nor has refuted to clear out any velTels for the Coat of Africa, in confequence of an exciufive privilege granted to the Marquis of Coecnsixt.o, of Spain, to import 6000 negroes into this ifland, in forei t ti trails.
