To all the Citizens of the United States of A
merica, at present in the Colony:
Worth ^ Dear Allies, ,
THE events ibit have just happened, obliged
us to lay an Embargo on all your vessels, as well as
on others which. were found .in our ports: This
measure leas indjfpenfable?, but are baflen to announce
to jou,. that ,ou are at liberty from this day to clear
out your vtfels.
If an hindrance of a few days has been prejudicial
to yb'ur inhered. on the other band %ou mill net depart
•withoutcarrying afong with you the conviction that
tie have not been devoted to the horrors of an incline
diffention, and that tranquillity has been fpeedil, re
flared. You leave vitrofed the efforts me have mace
to attain that end, you have seen bom they have been
ftcarided.
Citizens, children of a republic necefaril, allied to
the French republic, Guadeloupe will remain faithful
to the metropolis ; fee wijbes to preserve the relations
of friendship add of commerce,fo happily re-eftablijb
ad between the two nations by that treaty, the ohfer
vance of nubicb foall ever be sacred to us.
Tbefe intentions hole been proved to you by the
fafety and regas ds which you have enjoyed ami ft the
drifts which we have just experienced: Accept there
with our solemn afurances ; and be pleased to tranj
mit the Jame to your fellow Citizens at the federal
ports of your refpe&ive dominations : Tell them that
far from relinquishing the connexion which unites us
to each other, they ought to ftrengtbpn it fill more ;
that the measures taken by the adminfration, the
economy and the order adopted for the employment of
the rich productions of this colony, warrant more than
ever to our worthy allies the great advantages they
have so constantly found thereby, and will cement the
union and the confidence which arfes from the prof
peril, of all.

On the 7th November, Gov. Touf
faint issued a proclamation, at the Cape
announcing the full restoration of tran
quility. Gen. Moyfe, having been ac
cused as the author of the conspiracy,
has been airefted and sent to Port-de-
Paix for trial. On the 4th November,
Touffaint er ^ed the Cape, conducing
40 prifonei^ , 13 of whom were imme
diately executed. The planters had
returned to their business. The object
of the insurgents was the overthrow of
the new government ; and they were
stimulated to hostilities by being inform
ed that Touffaint had fold them to the
whites. —o—
In the Paris papers is aver y long
letter from Gen. Belliard, to Bonaparte
on the condition of his army at Cairo,
previous to his capitulation with Gen.
Hutchinson. He describes his situation
as distressing, and the privations of his
troops as great : but he characterizes
them as " Heroes, who, covered with
wounds, under your [Bonaparte's] or
ders, have beaten five Austrian armies
in Italy, and conquered Egypt:—
" They have" he adds, " struggled 3
years with wants of every kind, against
the plague, and the efforts of Europe
and Asia. You know them: they have
not ceased to render themselves worthy
ofyou." This picture of troops com
pelled to capitulate puts one in mind
of an anecdote of the Duke of Marl
borough—who riding with the French
Marshal Tallard, the latter said to the
Duke, your Grace has this day con
quered the befl troops in Europe. “ I
hope," returned, he "you will except
those who have bad tlx honor to beat them."
A New-York paper mentions, its being con
templated, that the mail from New-York, to
Boston, fball pass in 48 hours, including Sundays.
Within our recollection the mail between New-
York and Boston used to be nearly a fortnight
in passing. In the year 1780, it was, we think,
carried on horse back. The public are much in
debted to mr Lev- fafc/for his exertions andfa
crificesin effecting the present improved fate of
travelling in our country

NEWBURY-PORT, DEC. I.
From CAPE-FRANCOIS.
By a letter received in this town from
T. Lear, Ffq. Consul General at Hi
spaniola, dated Oft. 27, it appears that
on the morning of the 23d. afudden &
great alarm took place in that city. It
seems there was a plot formed to over
throw the present form of government,
qpd to destroy all the whites. By the
prudent and decided conduct of Gene
ral Christopher, the commandant of
that department, and the co-operation
of the army, &c. it was entirely sup
pressed. The insurgents were dispers
ed, and their leaders taken. Almost all
the whites on the North Plain have been
murdered. The Governor was at St.
Mark's when the affair happened, but
at the date of Mr. Lear's letter had re
turned, and was with the army in the
neighbourhood of the city. Tranquili
ty was entirely restored.

Having observed in last Tuesday's

the Subferibers of a First Assembly to
be on Thursday evening next, I was
induced to think the Managers had
forgotten a proposition that was made
at their late meeting : viz. That there
Ihould be no Firfl Assembly. As many
have from an idea of its being un
faffiionable or from some other mo
tive neglected to attend. To the fair,
we have only to request they will be

evening as a Ball, preparatory to the

We understand that a gentleman in
in one of the southern states, has found
the philosopher's ffone—not the stone,
that was to turn lead and iron into
gold, which so often employed the la
bor, and blasted the hopes of our Great
Grandfathers—but a new species,
which will turn vice into virtue, and
scoundrels into gentlemen.
A writer in the New-York Evening Post,
observes—" What a mirror does the present
situation of France hold up to the enthusiastic
admirers of her revolution, in which to behold
their folly ! The religious Fanatics will in vain
took for the downfall of Papacy, on which they
dwelt with so much delight. Political fana
tics will equally in vain look there for an -ef
tablifhmcnt of their visionary and extravagant
theories of Liberty and Equality. A military
despotism erected, and the reign of the Pope
renewed, mock their reveries, and admoniih
them, though perhaps in vain, to learn wisdom
from those whom they have hated, and fought
every occasion to traduce."

On Wednesday night a vessel went
into Dolliver's Cove in Marblehead
harbor, an inlet of a little more than
the width of a veiTel, and grounded on
an easy bed ; her appearance excited
curiosity, and on examination, the was
found to be from Gibraltar, belonging
to Marblehead, but not a foul on board.
In the course of the day, boats from
Beverly took up the Crew at sea. It
appears that in a storm file struck upon
the Brimbles ; the hands took the cash
on board, and left her. The flood

before her crew.
