CITIZEV MINISTERI have already had the honour to give you an account of the crimes coal• mitted in the night between the 6th and 7th of aFtober, by a band of brigands of all colours, who affatlinated 23 citizens in different quar.ers of Guadaloupe. A fpecial Tribunal was charged with the prole cution and trial of there crimes, tonne Red with a confpiracy, which the punifhment of the Chiefs has extinguifhed. The principal of thefe confpirators were Mille t Lagirardine, John Barbe, and Peter Barfe, all Blacks, thine,' with every fpecies of crimes. The fird two deflroyed themfelves after they ‘-ere condemned to fuller death ; the third was .:xecitted with his accomplices. Since thefe examples the Colony of Guadaloupe has been much improved in regard to internal tranquillity. Thofe from whom the colony mull be freed arc computed of the remains of rebels, wandering about in the woods, where they are daily pei ifhing by famine and want. If there !Ulf exit' in the communes of this ifland a few partifans of thefe crime;, they conceal them • (elves I but I have taken loch meafures as will loon enable me with certainty to difcover them. I had the honour to inform you, that I had received intelligence of ♦arious bodies of rebels who were forming, in the iflands of St. Thomas and St. Bartholomew, new plots again! Guldaloupe, 1 have obtained certain information of this cir cumaance, by the return of the frigate la Didon, which I had difpatched to demand thefe rebels to be given up, by the refpedive Governors of thefe two colonies. Some vefels belonging to rebels, who had efcaped from Gila&loupe, and which were em ployed for keeping up a communication with their confidential friends in that ifland, were therefound. One of them had dill on board a fmall quantity of ammunition, part of which they bad thrown intn the lea when they law the French frigate approach ing. But notwithdanding the precipitation em ployed in this bufiners, they had not time to com plete it when the frigate cart anchor clot to them. The brigands abandoned the vette] and went to conceal themfelves in the woods. M. •DEW• T. Tea STOIT, Commandant of the Danifh iflands, has given aria orders for their being arrefted. But at Saint Bartholomew, M. HAI KIR H rem, the Go vernor, did not think himfelf author iced to purfue the faiyie Reps. I fetid you my corrcfpondence with the Swedifh Governor, in order that the Government may de liberate on the conduct, which the tranquillity of the colonies reqnires from all the powers of Eu rope ; for it is not certainly the intention of the Snedifli Government to give an afylum in its por ta-inns to brigands, who, after having polluted with all their crimes the French colonies; hope to make preparations with impunity for the corn• Er:i(rr , n of nes, ones, in a neighbouring test itory in fr:,:ndthip with the Republic.

The Rate of GuadalJupe appeared to me more fcisfaftory than it is generally fuppofed to be in France, and even in Martinico. Agriculture is in full . aclivity throughout the whole of Grande Terre, and all the Weflern and Northern part of of the illand.

The freight to France is excefGrely dear, and yeah for tranfporting the goods arc not to be found. The war of the blacks is reduced to nothing. It confals merely of a few excurfions of miferahle wretches, who iiine from the woods to carry off provilions from the plantations. The troops Rill left, with reinforcements which have latelyarrived, will be fufficient to enfure the fafety of the wand, and you may ref Allred, that in a little time, the brigands will all be feized in their halt retreats.— Health and refpeet.

It is generally believed that it related to the evacuation of Egypt by the Eng . :id' troops.

From thin, and other circumfiances, Lich the Porte did not espal, it is ken, that in the prefent (late of affairs the hrgliax will ant loon quit Egypt : they, however, be• have exceedingly well ; they never interfere in the affairs of Government, and obfcrve the neutrality.

The NO, however, is, that this apparent defalca tion arifes folely from a pollponement of a pay went of the Ctiflorns, proceeding from the unufual quantity of ftigar now bonded, and from a large , fum now due from the Eaft India Company, the paymentof which isfulpended during theadjuriment of an account between Government and that body. Thefe fums together am ount to upwards of 800,0001. which, if paid in, would have made the produce of the laft quarter conliderably above the average of the two preceding. It mail, however, be ob ferved, that the dividends payable in January and July exceed thole due in April and Oeluber, by upwards of one million, anal therefore that the or dinary fin - plus of the Confolidated Fund in thole quarters is fu much lets: and that Mr. ADDING- Tom only hated his expectation of a furplus of fix millions and a half in the year ending J a nuary the sth, 1804 ; a fum which has been exceeded by the aftual receipts of the year ending January the sth 1803, which have amounted to 6,756,00.)1, By letters from Conflantinople, intelligence is obtained of the lots of a:1 the antiquities, tke. col leeed by Lora ELGIN in Greece.

Tuefday - an. as Wednefday . jam 26 1 medal - Feb. 2 Wednetday - Feb. Tuefday E Wednefday 9 AI 111 Trill. Monday • i• Tackler 3; Thera can be no doubt that the million of Co lonel St BAST' AN I to Egypt, by the French Govern. ment, is conneeed, not only with the delay of our troops in evacuating- it, but with the war which now rages between the Turks and the Beys. The French twat have preferved correfpondents and agents in that country which cannot fail to give them the greaten influence in the decifion of its fate. Whether they attach themfelves to the Turks nr to the Beys, they will endeavour to render the fuccefs of the party which (hall predominate fubfer vient to their views. The dittraeion which pre vails in the mean time, facilitates the increafe of that influence, becaufe it makes them neceffary. Many people believe that the Beys have been iniiigated by their intrigues, and fupported by their funds in the redaance they have made to the Turks; that refiffance gives them an opportunity of court ing the Porte. They will repeat what they for merly pretended, that their expedition to Egypt was not meant to injure the GRANO SIM/410R, but to reduce the Beys, always independent of his au• thor ity,as the prefent inilance fervesto demonitrate. By this means they may endeavour to obtain the confent of the Porte to tome new of eflabliffi ment in Egypt, or at le.& efface the indignation which their former attempts produced ; but efpe cially they will leave no artifice unemployed to excite the jealnufy of the Porte of our continuance in Egypt, and of the part we have aeed during the late difputes. , In truth, the-e now appears as great a neceffity I for continuing in Egypt as for keeping poffiffion of Malta. Egypt, it clearly appears, canrot be reflored to the Turks, who are dellittite of force to preferve it. On our departure there would be no obflacle to the Beys obtaining full por lemon of the whole country. It is to be c rnfi• dered then whether this country ought to all the Turks to retain Egypt from an apprehenfion that i if we did not the French might offer their interler ence, which might be accepted to a certain ex : tent. The Frcr.ch may fuppnrt the Beys In far as to make the Turks dcipAir of reducing them with • I out affillance. This would be the principal danger of evacuating the country at this moment, if the poiliffinn of Egypt were not fo fatisfaeorily gua• rantccd by Ruftia and other powers, as to prevent the interference of France. If it were not for the danger of France impeding upon the imbecility and credulity of the Turks, in order to find a pretext to intcrf re, perhaps Egypt would be more fecure under the Government of the Beys. They have been always hollile to the attempts of the Turks to ellablifli their authority. They vronotifly op• poled the French, becaufe the fuccet t rang foreign power deflroys that independent dominion they tact cifcd. Indeed the Beys would be more capa ble than the Turks of refilling any new attempt of the French to conquer Egypt. They are more popular than the Turks, who are odious in Egypt, and they can exert a greater vigour. The Turks, therefore, even were the Bcys overpowered, could not defend Egypt. It is evident, then, how ne ecru y it is that it lboulil be proteeed againa France by the guarantee of other powers. It is again raid that Egypt is to be immediately evacu ated, but we hope this will not take glace till iosafurcs arc tak:o for its fcrwity. IRELAND. I I The public mind was alarmed ycflerday a little by the care taken by Tome prints to caution it againft exaggerated accounts that might be circu lated refpeding Ireland. In every cafe of this kind it is better to (peak out than to miace mat ters : for while there is any affected concealment, the danger will always be magnified. We have the fatisfadion of laying before our Readers an accurate account of %%hat has lately paired at Limerick, the quarter from whence the alarm has proceeded. The extent of the evil, of the fpirit of ditafredion, we are unable to calculate ; but we truft it has not gone to any dangerous de gree. At Waterford, too, it feems the fame fpifit and the fame fort of outrages have taken place, as a Special Commiflion was opened there on the Eth for the trial of offenders, and Mr. juftice Dowilf s, in his charge to the Grand jury, lamented that the fpirit of rebellion (hould have again (hewn it.
