SARIS, fz. MINISTRY OF THE MARINE. T HE GENERAL IN CHIEF TO Tag MINISTER C TH E MARINE, AT READ:QUARTERS, BASSE. TEFtR.E, GUADALOUPE, BTH JULY, 1802. " CITIZEN MINISTER", .The last accounts which t t'ransmi'tted to 'yon tespefting the proc, edings at Guadalonpei were of the date of the &IA June, a period which, by the taking of Matouba, terminated my more important military operations. Since then, the troops have b,een c:npioyed in pursuing and exterminating these Itebels, • who are inaccessible to the voice of Pet- Suasion, and in fact incapable - of 'returning into the Pale, of their duty : the death these incendiaries l ean alone put a stop to the progress of Devastation, and the murder of the Whites in this Colony. " The injuries and devastations which some proprietors have sustained, have afaiaed me _con_ siderably : however; I . cannot but regard as a for tunate event for the regeneration of this Colony, the resolUtion taken by the People of COlour to oppose the disembarkation of the Army. It is certain that they had taken up aims under the idea that my Mission had for its °Ned" the dissolution of thelilack Forces ; and to recall a part of them to pursuits of Cultivation. They also hoped that toussAt:vr would have been able to maintain hi s authority at St. Domingo. Added to this, hey were aware char the Troops which composed th.e Expedition f rom F rance were comparatively few. Thus, safety and tranquillity being securely established, favourable prospeCts present themselves, of commercial and agricultural prosperity. The Obstacles to this prosperity, were, the ambition of the Arnied Chiefsthe licentiousness of the Troops tinder their command—and the unsettled state of the Negroes in general. Of these, ts,ooo have ieturned to their habitations, where they shall be restrained by an exaet and rigorous system of dis tipline. 't The Officers; Non-commissioned Officers, and rtivates, of this Army have. concluded themselves as true French Soldiers : Courage, discipline, attach. trient to the GoVernMent; these are the virtues Which they have Uniformly manifested in the course ( t if ,4 War which afforded them no resource, hut in vidory.

I t is that a great deal concerning the French 4tople, Which could not be said in France without an i ger, may be said by the English Papers. to 4 -! is because it is an old custom with the English I,eaouse every body ; they have attacked the greatest t u r r s „"ages in England, and the Crowned Heads of XViPe• What have they . not said against Loins e of and abov e all, against his ueen, in the Ll.cir p ower ? Q The E ngli4li toire ta , - read I as ihi) , do to look at Caricatures they wish. to see a Libel, inhere we should on l, permit an Epigram ; and a Print, where -- our delicacy would hardly itllow an Alusion. The English have not, like the Vrench, a hatred for Libels, for the same reason that they have not, like the Italians, a love for Music.. Mot4TEsQ:tri EU says, in his. Spirit of Laws, " I have seen the Operas in England and in Italy, they consist of the same Pieces and the same Performers. But the same Music produces efrfas so different in the two Nations, the one so calm, and the other so transported, that it appears inconceivable." The taste of the Nation does not lie there, but observe why they must abuse people. Can you then pretend that a People, who chiefly drink Porter, who always eat Beef, who obtain warmth from Coals taken from the earth, and inspire an heavy air and of inconstant temperature, 'who pass,one half-of their lives on the sea, and never see #roomen but in the parlour, feel as lively and delicate a sentiment with respect to all these rela tions—as. a Nation, where wine is generally drank, who eat bread, who receive warmth, from clean and soft, fires, which inspire a brisk and pure air, and who, at all times, enjoy a familiar and respeilful intercourse with lively and agreeable women—free, yet decent, and receiving every where fresh lessons of -taste and decorum ? But, how impotent the inveaives of the English Papers ? They are so elaborate, -so languid, so ill composed, that they are no where read but in Eng land, and even there are held in very low estima., don !--:Clef du Cabinet. MUNSTER, JULY 27.-Our Government has issued the following Proclamation relative to the entrance of the Prussian troops into this Country : " We, Grand Dean and Canon of the Cathedral of Munster, vested with the sovereign Authority, &c. &c. • " The Sovereign Chapter, in taking the reins of Government, has had no other object in view but the happiness of the inhabitants ; and it presumes to flatter itself, that every body being convinced of this truth will repose unlimited confidence in the advice and orders of the SoVereign Chapter. Strong in this cOnviaion it orders the inhabitants .of whatever rank soever to comport themselves tranquilly upon the entrance of the Prussian Troops, - to gi good re ception to the soldiers, who - shall be bilietted upon them, to prevent their wants, to abstain from all political refleaions, and not to take the Law into . their own hands, in cases where any difficulties may arise between the Inhabitants and the Soldiers ; but to carry their complaints, without delay, eilier before the Civil Officers, or the Military Officers, and to rekr them to their judgment ; and in case they ' shall not think justice clone them by such jirig ment, to prefer new complaints to a superior Officer, and in no case to take the proceedings ;n their own hands. Upon corforining himself strialy to this proclamation, every inhabitant shall enjoy peace and tranquillity ; but on departing from it he may expeEl to be punished by his SUperthrs. The Sove. reign Chapter, bou"d by its duty, and the love it bears the inhabitants, to make this proclamation public, will not negled to use, extreme vigilance to ptoctie for them solid and durable happiness. In order that the prestnt proclamation may be made known to all the inhabitants, it shall be printed and read from the •pulpit, posted up in every convenient place; and a copy sent to all. the Authorities.

VIENNA, JULY 29.—The Archduke ANTIIONY has renounced his dignity of Eledor of Cologne and Bishop of Munster; but this Prince will be ap pointed Coadjutor of the Baron DE DAHLBERC, who appears little disposed to accept the offers which have been made from our Court, in order to induce him to resign, in favour of His Imperial Highness, his pretensions to the Eleaorate of Mentz: It appears certain that the .Archduke CHARLES will unite to the dignity of and.

PETERSIAIRGII, JULY 13..---The• Count de PA-. Nix having resolved to visit sitccetsi7ely the dif ferent States of Europe, has determined to begin with Sweden. Arrived in Finland; he was visited by the Count de Kt.tNcskoit, who, after expres sing surprize at his taking the mall theough ?in land; which offered nothing to satisfy the wants, or gratify the curiosity of a Traveller, advised him to proceed to Stockholm by water: This was refused by the Count de PANTiNi and the Count de ICLiNGS- Pott retired, but a few minutes after wrote to the Count de PANIN, informing hint that it was the desire of the KING of Sweden; that his Excel lency should not continue his journey through the 'Kingdom: With this desire the Count de PANtI4 complied: It, is observable; that after the Peace between England and Denmark; Sweden claimed an indem 'nity of Russia; under pretence of having fitted out Armaments, at considerable expende, for the defence of the Sound, but that the demand Wait rejected at .the time the Count de PANTS' was Minister. The Count de PANIN returned to kussia, and informed the EtAr EROR of what had happened;, who answer ed, gc I desire you to believe that I consider the insult you have met with as' an offence direded against my own person:" It is not yet known what will be the result of this affair, which has be come very serious: On Monday last, in consequence of the Hon.

He proposeS to her to fly with him trom her Father's power, which she refuses, playfully keeping him at a distance. •At length he c tches her in his arms, and her Father, who has . pursued'hcr, detects them—takes his (laugh• ter forcibly away, leaving Donald in the utmost despair. He is met by Film disguised as a Witch. The Old Man conveys Isabel home, And calling her sisters lane, and Peggy, (who welcome hii'n) tells them of tabel's. conduet. They affea to be shock'd. The Old Man takes Isabel into the house, lane and Peggy being left in the garden, a signal is heard ; Malcolm appears on the top of the .wall, and Peggy is sent to watch the Old Man--Malcolm comes over'the wall, and he and Jane dance a Pas Pcu,t. Peggy'returns, and informs them of the Father's approach. The Old Man enters listening, aim enquires who.has been in the garden ; theyprutest their ignorance of any intruder; he - appears satisfied, out .roving, stumbles over Malcolm's bon net. The Old Man shows it to Caem, and they are contused.- (Here another si,;ri.:l is heard from The Old Man prevents his daughter from. moving, and repeats it. Donald comes.over, and They are all detected.. The Old-Man asks the Lovers what they can dr) to deserve their Mit}rec ;__ Malcolm dances'i 'the Old Maii seelfiS pteased, aryl enquires of Donald if lie can rival that. He, with modesty, confesses his inability. Isabel proPoscis •to dance for hits; which is accepted. She dances a Pas. Saul, " The Blue Bell of Scot-. land, With VariationS.'" The Old Man then "asks.Doiiald,'ashe cannot dance, what he cat, do to win hi thrugter. Donald replies that he under stands the Sword,. and w:11 try a few pasts - with Nlalcohn, which is accepted. --Donald recolleds the' Fairy Ring, and, fearing he ma) lose it in the - encounter, plac'es - it' on the finger of a Starue which is in the Carden. They tight, mut Donald disarms Malcolm. The Old man is delighte;l— to their union ; and they all gO in, except DoOld, who, recollecting the Ring, „attempts in regain it; and is struck with hoiror at tile mysterious manner in which he is repelled. Donald enters, , musing, upon the circumstances of the ring ; Isabel comes to upbraid jiim for his absence ;• lie t;x-- plains•to her the cause of it, which she. holds lightly, anti endeavours to ridicule his fears. ale rouses his tOrtoutle r and seems to shake off -his terror,' When the..m.xsterious pearance presents itself to him, pointing to the'Ring..Donald is almost petrified with horror Isabel tenderly demandsthe cause of it ; he points to the Vision, which being invisible to her, she protests iF is fancy..

Isabel, who IS not supposed to have heard it, is - Shacked at Donald's apparent terror ; imagines his brain is afleeied, ap proaches him ; he sinks into her arms ; she is endeavouring to convey him off; they are stopped by the Hermit Austin, Who speaks as follOws: • Donald, attend ! repair at . dcad'of night • .

He enters the Goblime Cell; displays the tablet, the charm is broken ; the scene flies in pieces; and discovers a magnificent Fait) , - Palace. with Isabel and-her family, and the Ballet concludes with :lances by the various Charaders. Our Readers will hardly ,require from us a formal Critique on a Piece like the present. it is very well calculated to , , please the eye and the ear, and . altogether is, indeed; as beautiful, and full as inter_ . esting a thing as we ever saw of a similar kind., The hint was avowedly taken from a Poem called The Ring, in the works of the late Mr. LhTrys. The scenery is admirably painted', and affords a ; very gratifying 3pe.B.lcle. The Fairy Palace, by moonlight, is very picturesque. It may be thought that the grOresque -figures at -the entrance of the Goblins' Cell, i.are too large to suit the ,Yaste of such a tiny tribe of beings as the Fairies, but the contrast is thereby rendered. more striking. The concluding scene of. The Fairy Palace is very splen did and beautiful;---Upon the. .the Piece itself is very well adapted to the prevailing rage for Show and Brilliancy of Effeta: • The merit of coaipiling this moil*, Ballet is attributed to Fti.WC'E VT, who certainly deserves cortimehdation for his ingentity on this occasion, as well as on several others of the same kind.—The Public have had Very little occasion to be gratified by the veiling merits of dramatic composition in the novelties produced ar our Theatres for sonic time past, and a Piece like .
