PRIVATE LETTER. NIGW.YOIII4 SLR'S% 6. 1304. The widow of the unfortunate TOCSSA!NT has kin landed upon our Continent. Her accounts of her own and her husband's sufferings, from BONA. r thTeS tyranny and executioners, would be incre d:ble, were they not already equalled by the Corsi can's former atrocities, and those of his accom plices. Her mutilated limbs and numerous wounds are, besides, visible proofs of the racks and other instruments of torture, from which she has suffered in the dungeons of fear, enlightened, and civilised France, and, under which, little doubt remains, that General TOUSSAINT expired. From the moment La Cl.Esc, by perfidy and breach of treaties, got her husband an 4, herself into his possession, they were loaded with chains, and, during their whole passage to Fr a nce, they continued in irons, with hardly food v/ :gh to support life. At their land ing at Boil, they were separated, though shut up in the sa m e prison. What happened since to her husband,sha Acies not know,nor is she yet certain whe ther he has perished, as the French papers have pub• fishetlyin a dungeon at Besancon ; or whether, with a mutilated body. he continues to breath the pestilen tial air of French gaols, exposed to the cruelties, and enduring that refuses:Gent in torments, which French ingenuity so ably invents, and of which Corsican barbarity so willingly makes use. Her first examination was before Luct em BON AP A RSA brother in-law, the police commissary at Bourdeaux, Plaltat Pizazz, who told her, "that her grave was already dap and that her last day was ranee, if she did not immediately discover the place where her hos hates SCOW correspondence with the English was concealed, and where his and her own treasures were buried or deposited." Having never heard of any secret tranuEtions with the English, and being convinced that when La Ct.eac so perfidiously sur prised her husband, he got possession, not only of all his papers, but of all his money, amounting to about WO,OOO Lyres (12,3001.), she declared her self unable to snake any discoveries. She was then carried back to her prison, where PILIISI Please arrived in the midst of the night, with four gesso d'arnees delete, who dragge I her to a subterraneous ball. Here the police commissary, in 'hewing her the instruments of torture, repeated his former questions and threats. Her assurances, her prayers, her tears, and her declaration, Mat she was in a date of pregnancy, studied nothing. On the seise d'arases laying hold of her, she fainted away. They car ried her, notwithstanding, to the rack, where the most excruciating pain soon deprived her of sense, which she only recovered to feel that the premature delivery of a child, by miscarriage, was at hand. One of the gene jarwes wives was then sent for, and she was (I:livered of a dead child. Her situation became at last so desperate, that the surgeon of the prison was ordered to visit her, and to prolong a life, still necessary to the policy, ava rice, and ferocity of Bon AAAAA e, and his ferocious gaolers. After an illness, which continues( for six months, during which time she had repeated pro mises of her liberty to see her husband, she ga thered s:ren;th enonrh to support a journey; and one cycling. after dark, Pietism PUNS' arrived with a jnyfnl countenance, infotming her, that BONAP A 41' IC id" permitted her to join her husband a: Paris. Sae was at,sompanied, during the journey, by two police agents And one of the negro girls, who came with her to Europe as an attend ant. The former forbade her to mention on the road who she was, under p.sin t.f imprisonment ; and the latter informed her, by her signs only, that she also had felt the effea of BONAPA WTI'S tortures, because they were never kit by themselves, nor permitted to speak low, one of the police agents be ing always with them. She entered Paris at eleven o'clock at night, and was immediately carried to the prefeCture of police, from which the police pre fed, Deno's, ordered her to the Temple. '1 he next evening she was brought before the grand judge BCONICII, and the police direCtor, Rear. Their secretary, Dese Ana's, read to her the for mer interrogatories before Panne PIERRE at Dour. deans, together with her pretended confessions, when upon the rack; the prams verbs! of which WAS not only signed by Pieatte Pities., but by the foot gras erarliff treble. She was new told to be more explicit, her husband Laving con fessed more than herself, as the only means not only to obtain her liberty, but to avoid new tortures. Having nothing to discover, sae persisted in her former denial, and was, therefore, up in a signal from H ems t ea, seized by the gen, arms in the room, and carried to a dungeon, to which she deicendcd sixty-six steps. There she WAS strpped naked, and put again on the rack, when Dens a. ais questioned her about the names of the secret agents from the English Governor at Jamaica, of their transaaions, of the houses in England and America to whom money had been remitted ; where, in St. Domingo, __-__ • • • • they had buried treasure, In geld, to the amount r.f ten millions, &c. What she had pilfered at Dour deaux was merely a trifle to the terrible pains inflided on her at Paris, which, in a few minutes, deprived her both of the faculty to think and to speak. What happened to her afterwards in the Temple she does not remember, having been entirely deprived of her reason. When she began to. recover it last April, she tound herself shut up, and chained in the mad house for women, called La Sd/ pet 'wee, near the ,hrdia des Mules, at Paris. When ALLEM/6ND, the Surgeon-General of this Hospital, had made his re port of her convalescent state, her second son was permitted to see her, and the consolation she re ceived from his visits soon restored her as much as she could expel to be on this side of the grave. This frady of BON AP A Rai was caused by the promise and engagement of the young man to form a p arty at St. Domingo against DZSSA L I NES and, it was, by agreeing to co-operate with her son, that they both were permitted to embark for the American Continent, after previously signing an acknowledg ment of the hind treatment she had experienced in France. Both she and her son remained is a house of detention at Paris until an American vessel had been hired to carry them away from Europe. In this house they were treated, not only with huma nity, but with reaped ; and, before her departure, she received from Bon AAAAA a one thousand louis d'ors as an indemnity for her detentions in France, and Madame Bon sent her a diamond ring worth five hundred lonia d'ors, with a message, that she felt much for her situation, and desired her to forget the past s but remember that she was born a French su►jet. These particulars of her sufferiap Madame Tonna IN r has related to the widow of a rich planter of St. Domingo, Madame BUM/MN who has sent them, in the above loner, to a relative in this coun try, with the addition that TOUSSAINT'S widow has last, from the tortures, the use of her left arm ; and has no less than forty-four wounds on different parts of her body. Pieces of flesh have been torn from het breast, as with hot irons together with six nails of her toes ! a &big witness of the iwma ssiey and lancer of the tender Emperor of the French, the august Chief of the French Legion of Hoaxer. As the climate of America does not agree with Madame Tottesentr's decayed cohstitutios, she in tends, as soon as she has collated the wreck of her fortune, so settle at Jamaica, if the British Govern ment shall permit her.
