Wit this triornieig received the Par;s Papers up to the, 12th instant ; they confirm the intel ligence which we received from America, of the death of General Luc L E R e, and of the distressed Stitt ,of Do . miuga. The , ! l etter, which contains an account the late operations in that Island, and of the death of General I..tcLEttc, is written by General Bovett, who' conimaAcled at Cape until she arrival of General RoCIi4MBEAr, the AlX cessor of General LECLERC, as Captain-General and CM - flaw:icier In Chief, Ile states, that Insur ieatons had taken place in almost every guar. ter that the heat of the weather had rendered it almost impossible for the French Troops to aft ; that the season was uncommonly unhealthy, and that consequently great numbers of the French Troops were in the Hospitals; General Boy -does not expressly say that the French were shut up in the Cape, but it may very ,fairly b 'inferred from some passages in his Letter ; it appears that a Corps of Insurgents took : °. ia position early in the month of Odober, in the :i, the Plain befOre the Cape, and it was not until the 6th of Nov. that they were attacked by the French. The manner in which General Bovea states this circumstance is rather ambiguous ; he says that the situation of the French becoming more and more urgent, it was determined not to wait for General • RocnAmaia.u, but to attack the Insurgents; the attack was 'made on the 6th of November, and the Insurgents were retard. This we believe is an ex, rcs!,ion always applied to the Army that attacks, and not to the one that is attacked.. General LECLERC died on the night between the rst and zd of November, after an illness of About len days ; his malady was a nervous fever. Ilk body was embalmed, and sent home to.
