ALEXANDRIA, APRIL 24.
This morning, fchoonet Harmony, capt.
Gilpin, arrived in 16 days from Cape Francois.
In the Hatmony came passenger a son of Mr.
Tobias Lear, American Consul General at St.
Domingo. Mr. Lear intended to embark for
the U. States in a few days. Capt. G. informs
that the Americans in Cape Francois are treat
ed with every mark of indignity by the French.
Several American vessels bound to other islands
had been brought in, and their captains com
i felled to dispose of their cargoes to government.
No decisive vidlory had been obtained by either
party in the island, but daily skirmishes took
place. •

Extras of a letter from Case Francois, received by

Tobias Lear, Esq. general com

FROM ST. DQMINGO.
Capt. Brown who arrived here yesterday,
from Cape Francois, which he left the 9th ult
informs, That no decisive event had occurred
in the warfare between the. French and Gen.
Touiffaint, at the time he failed :— That the
latter was, at times, reported to be in the Moun
tains, and at others, on the plains; and that
he was in great force, bidding defiance to all the
troops lent against him :—That frequent skir
mishes took place; and that the French had
been repulsed with loss in three attempts to
storm the fort on the mountain, commanded
by Gen. Christopher ; against which the French
could only advance by a narrow pass :—That
Gen. Touiffaint, astonished that France Should
fend her soldiers against him, to conquer him,
had, by Proclamation, denounced Gen. Leclerc,
and'his troops, as impostors ; had declared them
outlaws; and directed them to quit the island
in three days :-—That Gen. Leclarc had ans
wered this Proclamation, by declaring Touif
faint, and hid followers, rebels and outlaws ;
and offering a reward for his head :—That re
ports of an expected renewal of the war be
tween England and France had been received ;
and that, in confcquence, the French squadrons,
which it was reported would fail for the Unit
ed States, had gone for France .—-That the port
of Cape- Francois was filled with American ves
sels ; supposed to be in number from 70 to
ioo ' —that American produce was low ; and
the greater part of it put in requisition by gov
ernment ; and payment promised for it, me quar
ter in cash, and three-quarters in bills on Paris:
Th e reason given why the bills are not paid,
was that Gen. Leclerc was absent, and could
not sign them : That two French 7 4„ere loft
on the reef, in entering the Cape harbour ; and
that there were when Capt. Brown failed seven
fail of the line, and three frigates in port.
From our correspondent at Washing
ton, we have this day received the
" Report of the Committee appointed
CT the sth of February, to whom were
referred the memorials and petitions of
sundry citizens of the U. States, pray
ing relief, in the case of Spoliations
committed on their vessels and cargoes,
while in pursuit of their lawful com
merce, by the cruisers of the French Re
public, during the late European war."
The Committee go into lengthy de
tail offafts relative to the dispute that
has for some time subsisted between
France and the United States, and close
their report with the following words:
“ Upon the whole view of the case, the
Committee submit it to the House to deter
mine whether the Government of the United
States be, in any refeett, bound to indemnify
the memorial^; and whether there be any
"round for dijerimination between the cases
oflofes sustained before the ARs of the 28th
May, 1798, the 7th of July, 1798, and
the gtb of July, 179 8 t a " d ca f" of l°o e '
chained after those periods."
Here we fee one of the firft effects ot
the late repeal of the internal taxes
The present ruling party in Congress
firft demolish some of the most produc
tive resources of the Government, then,
upon falfe or frivolous pretences, en
deavor to juftify as flagrant a departure
from the principles of justice, as the
Great Nation itfelf was ever guilty of.
There is little doubt but that the
report of this committee will meet the
fan&ion of Congress.-—and that th6
claims of a large and referable body
of citizens to compensation for losses by
French spoliation, will be wholly re
jected. We shall present our readers
with the whole of this interesting report.
