Our troops in that country are heartily tired of it. The letters from Gibraltar, which come down to 111:: toth December, mention a dreadful ftorm th,r preceding morning, which did confiderable damage in the Bay, and that the lightning had fet tire to the Royal Battery on the fummit of the Tick, conftruEled of (hip timber, and lined with old cables and junk. It was impoilible to extin gun the fire; and this battery, which did moa mifchief to the Spaniards during the liege , is en tirely deftroyed. The latenefs of the hour at which the letters reached us, and the length and importance of the details refpeEting St. Domingo, brought to us by the Paris journals received this morning, oblige us to papone their infertion till to-morrow. aloe doubts having asifen is the city, of the in telligence from Honduras, we now give the copy of a letter received by a refpeaable merchant in the city : Honduras, September a 6, 1802.

They confirm the accounts of the death of Gen. lact.sac at St. Domingo, received a few days ago from America. The Mositeur prefents long and very particular details refpeeing the nature, fymp toms, progrefs, and termination of his malady, and on the appearances obferved on diffeeling the body. We (hall fuhjoin a fhort announcement or two, as fpecimens of the file. Lady LscLrec has returned to France in the Swiftfurc. The body of the deceafed has alfo been fent home embalmed, accompanied by his Aides de-Camp, and a part of his guard. As every thing that refpeets the Rate of the war is of importance to this country, we have given the details on this head at full length from the Mo ltke:sr.

PARIS, DECEMBER 9_—After the parade yeller. day the Tunitian Envoy prefented to the Fists r CONSUL ten very beautiful Arabian honks of the fineft breed, and various prefents fent by the Bey. The (hip of the line, the SWIFTSURE, has ar rived at Toulon, having on board Madame LE CLERC. This veal left the Cape on the 9th of No vember, and has had a long and difficult paffage. THE GENERAL 0). BRIGADE, CHIEF OF THE STAFF OF THh ARMY OT ST. DOMINGO, TO TUB MINI• STFR OF THE MARINE ♦ND COLONIES. F CITIZEN Mititsrsa--In the month of Prairial, (end of May,) TOUSSAINT Loursitruss was ar relied and fent to France. The plots of the bri gands were difconcerted, tranquillity was efablilh• ed more than before. The organization of the Co lony was daily making new progrefs, and the julleft hcpes promiled to the unfortunate Planters a profperous futurity, and teemed to announce the termination of their evils. They were about to enter into port. The difarming of the Negroes, an effential ope. ration, and the firft bafe.of all tranquillity, was carried on with equal aaivity and fuccefs. Some flight infurre,Lions broke out. A perfon named Sa lfl Souci, till that time confounded among the negroes, affernbled around him form wretched Congos, and attempted to fet fire to the planta tions. Purfued by the Gioeral who commanded in the Northern part, he penetrated into the molt diftant mornes ; they were no more heard off. The heat, however, being ercefEve, it became impolTible to make any movement. The molt ele vated mornes prevented obftacles in proportion to the inconvenience of the temperature. The number of brigands increafed. Our hofpitals were filled with fick,and difeafe made daily new ravages. The brigands calculated its progrefs with new joy. The infurrelion fpread to the quarters of Mar melade, Dondon, and Mouftique. Our troops advanced in every quarter, and combated with courage ; the quarters were recovered, and a part of the brigands were punithed and difarmed. In the beginning of Fruaidor (middle of Au gull) Citizen &sate, an atrocious African, who till then bad been fubjea to the Republic, revolted on the heights of Artibonite : a part of the Colo nial troops who had been in our pay, joined him. After different combats, the wretch was taken with his horrible wife. A military Commiflion con demned them to death on the gth of Oaober. In the South, different partial infurreaions obliged them to leave their quarters of refreth ment. General DISIURIAUX routed the brigands, and was able to reftore tranquillity. The negro DOMMAGS revolted in the quarter of Jeremie, and burnt there feveral plantations.— This wretch, having been arrefted, was tried and put to death. The quarters of Leogane, Jacqmel, and des Rains, were alfo the theatre of different infurrec- Lions ; our troops every where kept them in awe, and their Chief, will fuller the death of criminals. Since that time the fouth has been tranquil.— The Spann part is defended by the white people, who have rifen in a mafs, and who pima all the negroes who attempt to penetrate thither. The northern part is a prey to the molt horrid brigandage. DESSALINES,CLIRVAUX, and CHRIS verity, are with the brigands. Their audacity increAfes with our weaknefs. Mammas. and a great number of Chiefs, are Arrelled, and on board the fquadion. During the lafl days of Vendemiaire (about the zoth of Oelober), the Commander in Chief, finding the feafon a hale cooler, and impatient to reprel l a band of thefe Africans, who had taken a pofitior before the Cape, in the plain of the north, orderer' General BRUNET to fall back upon him, refolver! to difperfe the brigands ; but Fate had decide. otherwife. The Commander in Chief fell lick it the beginning of Brumaire, And died on the t ttli The army who w•itneffeJ his folicitude, his con. flint labour, and indefatigable allisity, bewail hint a Chief ant a father. On the report of his death the brigands advanced with horrible cries. The General of Di vifion, Cs.* us rt., (hewed them every where a good coun• tenance. On the 15th, (Nov. 6,) circumßances becoming more urgent, the Generals 2-efolved to wait no longer for General ROCHAIIIICAU : a general attack took place. The enemy were every where repulfed and purfued. They evacuated the plain and took flicker in the morns. We wait with impatience for the 3000 men, of whom the 86th forms a part. We depended on their arriving in the month of 04tober, but they have not yet appeared. Difeafes have made dreadful ravage. But the old men have never teen a year fo deftrudive. General LECLERC, tome time before his death, delivered to me the fealed inftrudions of Govern ment for General ROCHAMREAu, to whom a veil has been difpatched. General WATRIN has fet out to airtime his place. What was forefeen in the inftrudions of Government, has been pundually executed. General Duo uA, Chief of the Staff, died about the middle of Vendemiaire ( 7th of Oftober), after four days illnefs. The ravages at length begin to decreafe, though the feafon is confiderably retarded, and though it has not rained fo much as might have been expefted at this period of the year. (Signed) Borgia. PARIS, JAN. 9.—The FIRST CONSUL will go into mourning to-morrow, and will continue to wear it till the 111 of Pluviofe. JAN. 1 o.—Thisday at one o'clock the Minifters, the Members of the Senate, of the Tribunate, and of the Tribunal of Collation, appeared at the audience of the FIRST COMM., to condole with him on the death of General Lact.esc. The Fiarr CONSUL gave an audience at two o'clock to the Members of the Diplomatic Body, wko waited on him for the fame purpofe. Intelligence from Martinico, of the 6th of Bru maire, (Oa. 28,) fate, that the Colony is in the heft fituation feveral veffels laden with blacks have already arrived in that Colony. A battalion of 800 •men from Europe has ar. rived at Guadaloupe, to repair the loffes fuftained by that divifiori. FRANCIEFORT, Jaw. r.—According to letters from Conftantinople of the 26th of November, the plague has begun to manifea itfelf ; and this ter rible fcourge is the more feared, as it is an un common %fling to fee it at this feafon. Several of the Foreign Minifters have refolved, under there circumftances, to retire for the winter to Bujuck dere, at the diftance of tome leagues from Con ttantinople. S TRAIBUIGN,JMIVART 4.—LettersfromVienna contain the important intelligence, that the EM. ?gaol of Russia has tranfniitted a very energetic Note to the Auftrian Minifter, by his Ambaffador at Vienna, Count Rasounows y. He demands in this Note in the moft categorical manner, that the Cabinet of Vienna will renounce all preterdions to Paffau, and at the fame time defift from thofc it may have to Bavaria. M. R.ssoustowsxy, af er prefenting this Note, had a long conference with the Minifter of State, Count de Coaexyzst., in which it is Paid, the interefts of Bavaria were difcuffed. Auftria has delivered a counter Note to the Ruffian Ambaffador, in which it declares it will evacuate Paffau, and abandon it to the Elec tor of Bavaria, as foon as the GRAND DARE of Tuscany !hall have taken pofreffion of the Indem nities aligned to him by the Convention of Paris. Their MAJESTIES and the PRINCESSES came to Town yefterday from Windfor. Princeti. SOPMI• does not come till Saturday. A Cabinet Council fat on Friday or Saturday La, on bulinefs of great importance, according to the whifpers in the upper circles. Whether the fubjeft of its deliberations was intelligence received from Holland, or the news from Honduras, we know not. Important private advices from Hol land were received laR week refpeeting the defigns of BONA►ARTS on that Republic; and we know the &II of the above letters from Honduras, which was received in London more than a week ago, has been laid before Mini Hers. Mifs Woonrata. appeared for the fecend time, yefterday evening, on the Drury• Lane boards, in the charafter of Adelaide, in the tragedy of the COIN of Norlame, and confirmed, in every inßance, the favourable imprellion which herdtbrat produced. The part of Adelaide is happily fuited to her powers of expreffion, her elegance of perfon, and her ge neral manner ; yet her judgment appears equal to charaCters of a more arduous nature. She was received with univerfal plaudits by a numerous Audience. The Comic Opera of Family tuarrelt attracted, at Covent. Garden, notwithflanding the feverity of .he weather. one of the moil btilliant and crowded Hooks we have witneffed fince the commencement If the fealon. The Boxes and Pitt overflowed at in early hour. Several of the Airs, particularly hole of &amass and liocisoom, were encored. Oswssray, JAN. to.—Having read in the STAR in account of Lady Dusoanuor's elegant fete it Brynkynalt, we freely fubfcribe to the praifes iellowed on frveral of the beautiful women who traced that affembly ; but we mutt think the au ,ior of that article rather deficient in talk, in not ccurding blffs CHARLOTTI BOYCOTT WIC of the Vynneflay party, whofe charms and elegant figure AttraCted the Admiration of the *hole company. BRIGHTOY, 7,fhr. x 2. The Subfcription Ball on Monday was not Co fAfh;onably attended as was expeCtcd. The dif ueftlng dullneis of the place daily increafes. The molt diaant country village may now claim an almoft equal degreee of attraftion. Not a tingle place of amufement is at prefent open ; the public walks are entirely deferred—the inns are empty— the libraries appear folitary and chcerlefs, and the ftreets exhibit no veflige of their late gaiety. A French boat, loaded with rags, arrived here at fix o'clock P. M. yellerday. The boat, with three men, left Boulogne two days before, bound for Shoreham, which place they expelled to reach at molt in twelve hours. A Ilrong breeze, liow ever, from the North, fpringing up, when they were about half feas over, proved the fallacy of their calculation, and kept them toiling about upon the tempelluous billows, in great /Jibes, for nearly eight and forty hours longer than they had prepared themfelves to expel. Their bread and Tea-flock, which were but very trifling, were un fortunately wafted overboard loon after the gale commenced; fo that thepoor Frenchmen, on their landing here, were nearly famifted and worn out with fatigue. The Prince's harriers on Monday threw off near Portflade Windmill, but very few fportfmen were prefent. A bag fox was *turned out by Knight's ails, before Mr. H. NEWNHILM'S hounds, of New timber, the fame morning. The field difplayed upwards of fifty horfemen, and many of rank, to enjoy the diverfion which Rcynard promifed to bellow. The morning, though the wind blew &eft from the North, was not altogether unfavourable, and Reynard, on being expoled to his purfuers, went off in a capital (Lyle, taking a North Falk direttion ; he gaffed Mr. DREW'S barn, and took over Barncombe-hill, where, inclining to the left, he loon after croffed the Honfield-mad, took the whole length of the Downs by the Devil's Dyke, dallied through the Furze-field at Southwick, and made brifkly for Mr. &roc s r.'s Plantation, where the dogs being hard at his brunt, he nearly threadled the cover, croffed by New Shoreham Church, and flood on for Erringhamlhaw, but being headed by a (hepherd's dog, ere he could gain his point, he turned fuddenly off to the left, and boldly took to the river, a fliort dillance above Old Shoreham Bridge, the hounds follow ing him through the water in the molt fpirited and handfome manner. Unfortunately the tide being at flood, the current was fo thong, that Reynard's attempts to reach the oppofite fhore proved fruitlefs, the dogs furrounding him about the centre of the River, fpeedily terminated his life, and then left his body to the fport of the wind and tide. The fportfmen in general were highlly fatisfied with the morning's diverfion; an hour and thirty-five minutes they had run, without check ; the only regret expreffed was by tome in trepid riders, who at all Mks had determined, if poffible, to be in at .the death, that cireumflancek would not admit of their gallantly difputing the honour of the brufli. Poor TOUSIaIIIT is revenged; but probably it norant of the events, which have returned the pot. foned chalice to the lips of the French General, he pines in defpair in the dungeons of opprellion. General Frog, preceded by Barrer, has entered the metropolis in a moll aril* kyle; and if he wants provifions, he has provided a plenty of chop. On Monday evening a gentleman gave a rout at his houfe in Dover-fireet, and when the corn. pany was affembled, two men genteely dreffed knocked at the door with a degree of confequence, and had by Tome means learnt the name of a gen tleman who was to have been of the party, and Paid they were the gentleman's particular friends, who had defired them to call to apologize to the Lady for his nonattendance, and while the fes vane was up [lairs with the mefige, they made off with pelaces, muffs, hats, &c. belonging to the company to a ccnfiderable amount, with which they made their cfcape. All the gentlemen loft their hats but one.

According to the ftatement of Dr. lisasaoss, in the Philotophical Tranfaftions for the year, 1796, the number of deaths in the very mild months of January and February that year, were fcarcely half Co many as in the fame months of the preceding year, which were very fevere.

We recommend to the perufal of all confederate perfons a valuable Chap ter on the fubjeft of Clothing in Vol 11. of the 4th edition of the Philofophy of Medicine, lately pub 'jibed by the very refpeflable Dr. Tilos wrow.— Indeed Count RONFORD and the fiat Philofopherb concur in opinion with the Phyficians, that man kind in general very greatly err in not wearing clothing of fufficient warmth ; and they arc alfo agreed that woollen underclothing, as being the moll wholefome, ought to be univerfally worn ; and that, for this porpore, there is nothing com parable to Fleecy Holier'', either in :Ana 19 wholefomeads or comfort.
