SALEM, MARCH 2Q.
On Saturday evening at 8 o'clock,
this tou# was alarmed by the cry of
fire, which proceeded from a Smith's
(hop opposite Creek Court and was very
soon extinguished. Few Citizens had
- arrived at the spot, before the alarm
was again given from another quarter
of the town —when the whole of the
out Buildings of the Work House was
discovered in one vast sheet of fire, and
threatened immediate deftrudion to the
Poor House, the Rope-Walks, and the
elegant dwelling-houses near ; the at
tention of the inhabitants being thus di
vided, that prompt and universal at
tention, which always charrderife our
citizens, was by this means only not af
forded, and the whole extent of build
ings was enrapt in flames, and entire
ly consumed , together with a large
quantity of Stores, provided for the
House, and but few articles, were
saved one apartment was stored
with oakum, from which at times the
blaze extended to an aftonilhing height,
—and nothing but the calm which pre
vailed, could have saved the Rope
Walk of Mr. Briggs, which was the
nearest building to the Fire, and Mr.
Vincent's, adjoining—had these taken
fire, the deftrudion of property must
have been dreadful indeed. But under
Providence, they were preserved by the
spirited exertions of the people. The
Wildings were set on fire by design,
{nd a black boy, confined in the Work
House (who lately set fire to Mr. Wm.
Gray's house, in Portland) has been
committed to jail on suspicion of perpe
trating the infamous deed. The fire
was not entirely got under until two
hour# hard exertion.
Extract^f a letter frem a gentlemen in Baltimore
to bis friend in Philadelphia.
" With much fatisfa&ion, I am en
abled to inform you of news of the
most pleasing nature. Advices from
St. Domingo of the 4th of March state
that, the fortified camp of Touiffaint
had been carried, after a most dcfperate
and sanguinary aflault. It was de
fended by 36 pieces of cannon, and
naturally strong. It was considered as
Impregnable ; but nothing could with
stand the ardour and intrepidity of the
heroes of Italy. Thrice they advanc
ed against this well defended entrench
ment ; and thrice were they repulsed.
Animated however by their former
hard earned laurels, and headed by
general Le Clerc, vidory dawned upon
their efforts, and they planted their
standards amidst the heaps of slaughter
ed negroes. This victory, though dear
ly bought, is of much importance, as
the terrified negroes have fled in every
• direction ; nor will the influence of
Touiffaint have any effed in rallying
them again to the hazard of deftrudion.
The war may be considered as really
finished, though yet nominally in exist
ence." • /
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
O By the fliip Two Friends, Capt.
Vose, arrived at New-York,from Lon
don, we have received our files of Lon
don papers to the 9th February, 20
? days later than before obtained.
CT They contain but few articles of
interesting intelligence :—The Defini
tive Treaty was not signed ; nor were
there any certain indications of its be
ing speedily done ; —On the fubjeft
opinions are widely variant :—Bona
parte, First Consul of France, has been
chosen by the Confiils at Lyons, Presi
dent of the Italian Republic .-—with a
salary of fix millions of livres per an
num He hasreturned to Paris. [This
appointment of Bonaparte, is confirmed
by our letter, from Rotterdam.] The
Ottoman Forte has refufed to ratify
the Treaty between Turkey & France,
and, in consequence of the services ren
dered it in Egypt by the English, has
entered into a new treaty with Great-
Britain :—Denmark has acceded to
the treaty between England and Russia.
The '' National Intelligencer" of the
24th uk receivedby la(t night's mail,
contains a copy of a treaty between
France and Spain, by which Spain has
ceded Louisiana to the French !
What Ihall we think of Aurora ve
racity now ?

FROM ROTTERDAM ffb, 6, 1802.
"The definitive Treaty of Peace has
not yet been signed ; or if it is, not
generally known. It is said some dif
ficulties have taken place refpeding the
Island of Trinidad. The Spanilh tear
the English will carry on a contraband
trade with their possessions in South-
America. The Spanilh Minister has
not yet made his appearance at Amiens;
and the negociations have been pro
longed far beyond the general expecta
tion ; which give rife to a thousand re
ports ; and many of them very con
tradidory. For my part, I think the
definitive treaty will at last be signed ;
but not owing to any real good will or
friendship in either of the parties „but
from an absolute inability to continue
the war any longer. That peace be
tween France and England will be of
long duration, I much doubt; but
they both want to take breath, and to
fill their treasuries.."

Yesterday afternoon arrived at this
port, thefch'r rec :ry,in todays from
Port Republican. The accounts by this
vessel refpeding the operations of
the French army are various and
contradictory. The captain informs,
that the day previous to his failing,
4000 tick and wounded troops from the
army of Le Clerc, returned to Port
Republican, amongst which are three
French Generals. He fays, that Le
Clerk was in pursuit of Touffaint, who
was at some distance from Port Re
publican, in a strongly fortified place in
the mountains ; that the French had
been several times defeated with loss ;
but that Le Clerc was preparing to
renew the attack, with die expectation
of forcing Touffaint to Surrender in a
few days.
We have seen private letters from
Port Republican, dated the 16th March
which are wholly silent on every partic
ular of the above intelligence.
