,;.. ..;, distracted all the Antilles, at the same epoch, in. spired is with a just doubt of the reception which we were about to experience; we concluded we had not a moment to lose, to' stifle or prevent a general conspiracy. Hence, General LECLERC requested me, on _the same day, to dispatch for St. Domingo, General KERVERSEAU, with his Division; and the rest of the Army, continued its route. " It Was nevertheless still doubtful to the Agents of Government, whether they should discover at ~ . our ships after, the debarkation, by taking aclvan. tage of the first favourable breeze, might force the entrance in time to save some part of the Town. I agreed to this idea, and ordered the Troops to be immediately put on board the Frigates, Sloops, and boats. Captain TOPSENT, Commander of the Fg rime, took them under his convoy, and steered by night towards Limbe. Unfortunately he was pre- PCnted by the calm from arriving there during the night. On the morning of the sth, the Division of Frigates had nor yet reached their destination, when an Aid-de-Camp of General ROCHAMB EAU brought me Dispatches from the General in Chief; and details from Captain MAGEN, of the Expedi tion to Fort Dauphin. The Blacks had opposed the disembarkation in the Bay of Mancenille, ex claiming " No Whites ! No French !" at the same time firing on our canoes. Captain MACEN, how_ ever, effeded his landing with equal adivity and address.; and while the Troops were on their march to Fort Dauphin, he made his Division prepare, with the same rapidity, to force the narrow and difficult passage leading to the Harbour. The calm frustrated his zeal for some hours. General Ro. C H ANII3 EAU'S Troops had time to turn the Forts of Labouque and Ance, where the Blacks obstinately ' defended themselves. 'At last Captain MACEN was enabled to present himself before the Fort, which received him with a discharge of artillery. Two rounds made him master of that Post,' where he found'a considerable quantity of cannon and ammu nition. Here all veils were removed from the de_ _signs of the Rebels, by finding orders written by General CH R ISTOPHE to the Commander of the place, ordering him to sink all the French vessels, to defend himself to the last extremity, and if forced to retreat, to burn every thing behind him. " The gallant condud of Captain MAGEN, and the express request of the General in Chief, calls upon you, for the encouragement of the service, to raise him immediately to the rank of Rear-Admiral. His talents and services demand this distindion. -I waited with extreme impatience till this disembark ation was effected on the sth. I did not lose sight of the Frigates under sail, and the alarm-guns which were fired along all the coast, and the flames of some of the Settlements, plainly discovered the de signs of the Rebels. " As soon as I thought the debarkation was ef feded, I ordered the Ships Le Scilion and Le Pa triote to present themselves before the entrance, in order to draw the attention of the Enemy. As soon as the Scipio came off Piccolet, the cannon be gan to play upon her and Le Patr;ote with ball and bombs. I had ordered LANCES, Captain of the Port, to moor the Scipio close by Piccolet, so as to demolish it ; but night prevented General DEL.- moTTE, from executing this order. " The land wind began to blow at the approach of night, when the height of the Cape, and the re. flexion of the sky, announced the burning of the Town, and we were obliged all night to behold the flames without having it in our power to render the wretched Inhabitants any assistance. On break of day, the flames had not reached the plain. " I called the Captain of the Port again on board the Ocean, and taking advantage of the first breeze, made for the Harbour, ordering all the Squadron to follow me. Forts Piccolet and St. Joseph had been abandoned ; Forts &lair and St. Michel continued to fire on us ; but the Squadron gained the ane bpor ao- firinge without a shot. I commanded Le Pa- triote to - fire on the Rebels, while all the Ship's companies disembarked; and .General HUMBERT, with a body of zoo men, marched to take posses sion of Fort Belair. By our united efforts, and the dextrous manoeuvres of the General in Chief, St. Domingo, in the character who for several years hack possessed himself of the whole authority, a fitithful Frenchman or a rebel African ? Whether To ussist NT LOUVERTURE had retained the Colony for the Mother Country, or for its enemies ? Whe ther he would second the generotis designs of die First Consul, and deserve a grand national recom pence, or enkindle the flames of civil war, to glut an ambition as cruel as unbounded ? You know better than any one, that Government partook of our doubts; since we had orders to be equally pre pared for war or peace. 6 ' Our measures were concerted in conformity to these two suppositions; equally possible. When I bad reached the heights of La Grange, and had provided myself with some skilful. Pilots, whom' I sent for from Monte Christi, the Fleet and Troops were divided into three divisions., The first under the orders of Rear-Admiral LATOUCHE, was in tended to disembark, at Port-au-Prince, a body of Troops, the command of which the General in Chief gave to General BOUDET. The second, was de stined, under the orders ofCaptain MAGEN, to dis embark at the Bay of Mancenille the division of General ROCHAMBEAU, and to second Lis attack on Fort Dauphin. I concluded the rest of the Fleet and the Forces which General LECLERC had re served to take possession of the Cape-Town and the neighbouring quarters, the most important points in the Colony. 66 On the evening - of the zd of February, having finished all • our dispositions, I made a signal for Rear-Admiral LATOUCHE and Captain MAGEN . IO execute their orders ; and on the morning of the 3d, I presented myself, with the rest of the arma ment, before the Cape. " You are aware, Citizen Minister; that the entrance of the Road, so difficult for vessels of every description, is not without danger to ships of the line of the same rate as the Ocean ; that it is prac ticable only with the -high wind which rises re gularly about eleven in the morning, and blows during a great part of the night. "On the same day, I ordered the Clarinda and Urania frigates and the iliguilie cutter to sail at the entrance of the Road, to discover if there were any buoys out, and to reconnoitre the state of the fartificationg. The frigates made fruitless private signals to the land, and the cutter haVing grounded in the passage, the Fort Piccolet fired en her with red hot balls. ,Lieutenant WET, the Commander of this small vessel, did not desist from his object, and anchored in the Road of the Cape, although the buoys were removed. " On these circumstances, a mulatto named LANCES, who exercised - the functions of Port Captain at the Cape, came on board my vessel. So far from consenting to pilot the Ocean, he declared that the Black General, CHRISTOPHE; had. ordered him to acquaint us, that the Whites would be massacred, and the Town set on fire, the very instant the squadron should enter the Pass, if we refused to await the return of a Courier whom he had dispatched to Governor ToussAINT Lou- VERTURE. • 66 We unanimously thought that so ferocious a determination could only be suggested by unjust fears of the French Government. The Commander in Chief wrote to CHRISTOPHE, to make him ac quainted with the benevolent purposes of the FIRST CONSUL, and to endeavour, by dissipating his ap prehensions, to bring him. to a sense of his duties as a. Soldier and a Frenchman. LEBRUN, Signal Officer, Adjutant to my Etat-Major, was entrusted with this delicate mission, as well as to carry to the Cape a great many copies of the FIRST CONSUL'S Proclamation. I detained the Port Captain,, and night compelled the squadron to sail largely. " On the 4.th, Citizen LEBRUN brought back the answer of General CHRISTOPHE ; an absolute refusal to receive the army, an inflexible determina tion to born the Town and Fields. Particular care was taken to prevent Le Blum from distributing the. Consular Proclamation, and CHRISTOPHE had formally declared, that he should receive and recog nize no other orders than those of TOUSSAINT. " The cutter, Aiguille, having got out again without obstacles, brought at the same time, a De potation of the Inhabitants of the Cape, composed of the Mayor, the Commandant of, the National Guard, the Rector and three Notables. They came to implore the Commander in Chief not to avenge the affront offered to the Government and the French flag ; they assured us, that on the first sig_ nal of a disembarkation, the Town and Country of the Cape would be burnt, and all the Whites mas sacred ; they confirmed the information we had re.. ceived of the measures taken by the Rebels, and their invariable resolution. The tWenty-four hours required for To ussAIN-e's answer had elapsed, and we had good reason for believing that he was in the T own, or at least, in the neighbourhood, the invi sible soul and mover of all that had passed. "' The General in Chief sent hack the Deputa . the plains are completely saved. " General RocHAmBEAU, on his side, advances as far as Limonade, of which he took possession, as well as of Carnal, and of all the Country. situated between the Cape and Fort Dauphin. " Thus, we have only to regret the destruCtion, of a great number of houses at the Cape ; there have been but few massacres. The preservation of the Country affords certain means of rebuilding them, and promises to Commerce a sufficient guarantee for the advances .which it may make to the Inhabitants. " On. the 7th of February, all the Frigates em. ployed in she disembarkation of Litnbe rejoined.* Fleet in the Road, except the Furieuse, which I keep cruizing before the Harbour. " Yesterday morning the Wattigny, the Furieure and the Clarinda, set sail for Port-de-Paix. The plan of the General is to get possession of the Fort of - that- Town, and of the Mole. Private intelli gence lead us to hope that the latter will be sur rendered to us. If this Expedition be,successful, as we have every reason to hope, the Army will obtain many advantages and resources of what it stands in the greatest need. " My total want of light vessels has prevented me from giving sooner any news of the Army, and it was not before this day, I could dispatch the S . yrene Frigate, the Captain of which I greatly re gret, as he exeuted. all the missions I have en trusted to him, with a zeal, affivity and skill, be yond all praise. May I entreat you to send him back ko me with another Frigate, and the reward due to his talents. "I cannot conclude without expressing,a testimony of the exalted praise of our Allies, the Spaniards, to which they are in honour and truth entitled. Above all, Admiral GRAv4INA, in all 114 inter course with us, has shewn a frankness, loyalty, and firmness, which charaaerize the Fried sailor. The astonishing 'celerity with which he repaired his Ship ; ,that singular activity in a moment so de cisive, and his arrival at the rendezvous off Cape Samana the same day with the rest of the Fleet, have excited universally a surprise, which is the finest eulogy of M. de GRAViNA. General Vi t- LAVICENCIo, who, during his absence, command ed the Spanish Di vision, displayed, during the pas sage, to the Captains of the two Squadrons, an ex cellent model of precision and vigilance in every, branch of navigation. " In the midst of the things which press upon me, 1 cannot send you an account of the state of the ammunition found at Fort Dauphin, the Official Papers, Private Correspondence, Orders, &c. &c. • You will receive them by the first Vessel which I PR ICE 0 F STOCKS, YESTE R DAY.

C jISAR TEL E MAC H us, a Negro truly French, fulfilled that task with heroic intre pidity : from that moment we found that we must . either renounce all hopes of saving the Town, or suffer the laws and honour of the French Govern. ment to be trampled under foot. In the evening of . the 4th, the S . yrene Frigate came to announce • the success of the Debarkation in the Bay of Mance nine, and the entrance of the .Troops into Fort Dauphin. The General in Chief took that part which he thought most favourable to Humanity, . and the,sole objet`} of the Expedition : he thought that by landing all the Troops in the Bay of Acul, he might arrive at the heights of the Cape before. th 4 Blacks should execute their designs; and that India Stock Excheq.

" ILLARET." A most -extraordinary escape of a Mr. Rowe, merchant, of Tarpoint, near Plymouth Dock, is mentioned in a letter from Cork. He sailed for Bristol in a vessel repaired in Ireland•. At sea, in St. George's Channel, she sprung aleuk, by start ing a butt-end, in a violent gale of wind. Mr. Row E., finding the ship in a % , ery leaky condition, took to the jolly_boat, with a little biscuit 'and wa ter, and put off in .the middle of St. George's Char nel. The boat soon separated. Mr. RowE, and two seamen with him, kept rowing all that day and night. On the morning of the second day, Mr. RowE was so exhausted, that he lay down in the boar, and declared that he could row no farther. A sail hove in - sight, exhausted as the men were, they pulled towards it, but found it their own leaky vessel. Disappointed, they pulled off:again, after having taken in a compass, and steered for Ireland ; and fortunately, both the ship, leaky as she was, with the boat, arrived in the port of Waterford, within a few minutes of each other. On Monday se'nnight, an aged couple, - who had courted for some time (the man a widower, and the testier female a supposed widow) presented themselves at the altar of Hymen, in the parish church of Preston, Lancashire, for the purpose of being linked together, for better or worse, during life ; but, to their great disappointment, when the clergyman was proceeding to the altar, to perform - the solemn rite, a friend cf the intended bridegroom, who was interested in his future happiness, suddenly stepped forward, and, presenting a letter' to the Vicar, made known, that the intended brik had a husbandstill living ; where upon his Reverence put the: very proper question to her, Whether so or not ? to which she candidly re plied, That she had been mit fied some years, but her husband being absent, and not having heard from him for some time, she thought it convenient to marry another.—After a very expressive reprimand from the Vicar, the parties retired, much abashed, and seemingly dissatified.
