WOMAN, with all her weaknesses isa very
interesting creature: without her, we might
sometimes have feu er troubles, but should have
nojoys. A man in the single state is but afrac
tional part ; and never makes a full integral or
taphole, till having married a woman, they two
become oneffo The sacred writings, in very
cmphatical language, erprefs the necdTity of wo
man for society and happiness “ God said it is
not good that man should be alone; I will make
head, to rule over him, nor from his feet, to be
trampled upon ; but from his tide, and under his
arm, to be protested—from near his heart, to be
fondly cherished and beloved.* Indeed a mali
cious wit might further remark that the crooked
mefs of the rib typified the nature of the female
sex ; but such a ineer, if meant to apply to wo*
mankind in general, would be cquallymnjuft
and unmanly.
Every generous man blames, as well the mor
alizing Young, as the disappointed, four hearted
Swift, and the pettish Pope, for their indiferimi
nate satires upon women. If either of those cele
brated writers had but recollected, that bis mother
Teos a voman, it might have been enough to
have fattened the asperity of his invedlives.
Mark now, with what rapture our good pro
genitor received this lafi best gift of heaven,
Woman / And indeed his heart might well dance
with joy at obtaining such a prite ; for accord
ing to the vivid painting of the immortal Milton,
Grace was in all herfc/e, heaven in her ge,
In all ber aliens dignity and kroe.
There had always before been a vacant corner

AN eminemtiawyer went into the shop of a
gentleman in Boston, who was in partner
(hip with his brother-in-law, and inquired for
force waistcoats. A number of elegant patterns
were thrown upon the counter, and, after look-,
ing at them for a moment, the lawyer pleasant
ly observed, that he should like to take one of
them, if he would take his pay in law. You

man, and pay my prother-fr/ocu.

off the Cape on the 3d of February,
when negociations were entered into
by the commandants on each fide, as to
. the terms on which the one party were
to be permitted to land, and the tenure
oipwhich the other was to hold their
liberty and property. During these
negociations, Gen. Leclerc refufed to
recognize any such character as a Gov
ernor in the island, whose fandion,
it was pretended by the blacks, was
wanting to permit him to land. This
impolitic step immediately reefed the
suspicions of the negroes, who peremp
torily forbid him to land, and threaten
ed, if force was used, to repel it by force
—to fire the town & murder the whites.
On the evening of the following day,
one of the ships hove in near shore, and
was fired on by the battery with red hot
shot; which was at the fame time the
signal for the conflagration of the town.
Fire and faggots lighted up the flames
in many parts at the fame time, and

ture, and which he had for some time
been fortifying and rendering impreg
nable, by art. To this strong post he
has retired with his treasury, and his
myrmydons ; and from it will make his
murderous excursions, and harrafs its
assailants. Rigaud, his old and impla
cable rival, was with his enemies, and
much was expelled from his knowledge
of the island, and his influence with the
inhabitants of the fouth.
It was reported at Cape Francois
that the fleet destined for Guadeloupe
had arrived, and that the fame tragic
feenes had occurred there.
Extrafl of a letter from a Captain at Cape Francois,
to bis owner in this city —February 10.
"On the 3d inst. the French fleet arrived off
the harbor, and sent in a cutter to know on what
terms they were to be received ; when General
Christopher thought proper trot to let them come
into the harbor, and sent out the cutter again,
with orders to the admiral, that if he attempted
to come in by force, he would set fire to the
town. On the 4th there being very little wind
all da, until afternoon, one of the French ships
came very near the fort, intending, we supposed,
to have come in, when the fort immediately fir
ed on them, and obliged them to haul off again,
and in one hour afterwards the town of Cape
Francois was set fire to in fevcral places, when
it exhibited the most (hocking fight I ever saw."
Cape. Fort Dauphin hadbeen pre
served by another division of the fleet
taking possession of it after a short refin
ance. Four divisions having arrived at
different points of the island about the
fame time. Besides the two mention
ed, one had gone into the bite of Leo
gane.
After the total evacuation of the Cape
by the blacks, the French Dipping haul
ed into the harbor, and took possession
of the town and forts. Capt. Rogers
was permitted by the intendant to fail
on the 14th with dispatches, we learn ;
but all other Americans were Gill de
tained.
It was not known where Touiffaint
was during the conflagration, but he
was supposed to have been at the Cape
incog, directing the hand of deftrudion.
He is now at the head of his army in
ARRIVED taft evening, Capt. Ro
gers, of the sch. NellyrfrOm Cape Fran
cois, which he left on the 44th Feb.
The news by Capt. Rogers isinoft dis
tressing, both on account of the Ame
rican property which has been defray
ed at the Cape, and the feenes of hor
ror and bloodshed which haveand will
take place.
It appears that a division of the
French fleet, confiding of l 4 fail of
ships of the line, and 11 other ships of
war, with about 20,000 men, arrived
feene of horror and deftruftion beyond
the power of description, and equalled
only by the dreadful fate it experienc
edin the year '92. Many massacres took
place, and the brutal rage of the ne
groes spared neither age nor sex, not
of theirown color, except Americans,
only one of whom (Mr. Lancaster, of
Charleston, Was killed. With one hand
the black demons of daughter - were seen
holding up the writhing infant, and
hacking off its limbs with the sword in
the other. Those that escaped the
sword were preserved to witness more
horrid sensations 4 being dragged by
the negroes, (who evacuated the town
during thetire, and after the demolition
of the forts) to their ftfong places in
the mountains, to serve as homages, or
to glut their fury. On the morning of
the sth, of 2000 houses, 59 only had
escaped the ravages of the frames, and
their tenants, except a wretched few on
Board the American fhipp.ng, were no
where to be seen. Sugars and other
property either rolled in liquid fire a
iong the streets, or mounted in cloudy
tions of the extenGve and once flourish
ing plain around the Cape for many
miles, exhibited the fame tremendous
appearance. Port de Paix was also con,
fumed, and every town in the Inland,
except Fort Dauphin, it was expeded,
