cated on the following considerations,
as expressed in the preamble. " Con
sidering that by the effed of the revo
lution and of an extraordinary war, a
buses subversive of the fafety and pros
perity of a colony, were introduced into
the names and things of this country ;
considering that colonies are nothing
more than establishments formed by
Europeans, who have brought negroes
thither as the only individuals suited
to the cultivation of these countries ;
that between these two fundamental
classes of colonies and their negroes,
breeds of a mixed blood have issued,
always diftina from the whites who
have formed the establishments : con
sidering that the latter only are indi
genous of the French nation, and ought
to exercise the prerogatives ; consider
ing the favors granted by the mother
country, by weakening the essential
principles of these establishments have
only Served to prevent all the elements
of their exigence, and to bring about
^rogreflively that general conspiracy
which has burst forth in this colony a
gainst the whites and the troops sent
under the orders of the General by the
Consular government, whilst the other
colonies (in submitting to a domeflic
and paternal government) present a
pidure of the case and affluence of all
classes of men incontraft with the va
grantage, lazinefa raifery, and all the
evils with which this colony has been
^pprefed, and particularly the blacks
abandoned to thendelves ; insomuch
that rational justice 'and humanity, as
well as policy, require the restoration
<lthe true principles on which rest the
Security and t.".e fec-cets of the eftablifh
roenfs formed by the French in this
colony, at the fame time that govern
ment will proscribe with ardor the a
hufes and excefTes which formerly mani
fefted themfelve% and which might a
gain make their appearance."
By the Decree none 'but Whites can
exercise any of the privileges of French
Citizens; or be capable of bearing aims,
&c. or wearing a nn&nm. All the
blacks, foulaUoes, and all other people
of coldr, are required to deliver their
arms to an edicer in five days, on severe
penalties. All blacks, &c. who have
certificates of exemption from labor,
are ordered to return them in 24 hours,
and within five days to depart to the
plantations to which they belonged be
fore the war ; (excepting thole who
have served honorably in the regular
army)thofe who do not,proceed to their
plantations within the five days to be
considered as accomplices of rebellion,
All free men of color from ether colo
, iiies, are to surrender themselves imme
diately, in order to be sent to thtir re
fpe&ive colonies. The owners of plan
tations have the private police thereof,
and may inflict limited correctional dll
cipline, confinement in irons, and in the
dungeon, under the inspection pt the
Commidary of Government, who is
bound to repress, impeach and profe
cure all abuses and excelled which may
be committed on the par t of any inhabi
tant, —No citizen is allowed, under
penalties, to employ any slave not be
longing to him, without the express per
miflion of the true owner, or the gov
ernment. The payment of one fourth
of the produce heretofore allowed the
blacks, to be abolished the Sth August.
The working time of the cultivators,
anaflaves attached to manufactories,
is divided into weeks, Sundays to be
days of rest. The catholic worship is
to be re-established. The slaves ar^to
have for clothing two suits a year of tow
c^b, ^ ^ pFafure of the owner ;—
fir food, each flawe about ten years old,
two pounds of meat, or three pounds
of cod-fifh, two poU manio^e flour for
one week Children half allowance.
Lands for railing vegetables are to be
referred ; and hospitals to be provided
ror ths sick and infirm.
St. DOMINGO. By an order of
Cen. Le Clerc, dated July 4, 1802, a
War Tax of 13,000,000 francs, of
France, is levied on the colons, to b^
paid in two years. In the interim,
Cape Francois is to pay 300,000 francs;
the island of Tortue 100,000 , Port-
Republican 600,000 ; Jacmel 120,000;
Jeremie 100,00'0; Les Cayes 250,000;
making in the whole 1,470,000 francs.
In the afTeffment; the merchants are
classed, the firft class pays 600 dollars,
the 4th 100 dollars ; retailers 50 and
25 dollars. Owners of Houses, &c.
one fifth part of the rent; and Nota
ries, Tavern-keepers, &c. one half their
rent. The Sub Prefer is directed to
make use of the armed force to compel
payment of the delinquents ; the whole
do be exclusively appropriated, ta the
use of the army.
MARTINICO. A French Prefer
and a General Officer have arrived at
Martinique ; but the island has not been
as yet restored to the French.
GUADELOUPE. Slavery of the
blacks has been re-established in the isl
and of Guadaloupe, by a Decree iffiied
by Gen. Richepance, dated at Baffa
terre,the 1 7th July, 1802.—-The decree
is lengthy. It amply provides for the
internal regulation of the island ; but is
not headed as heretofore, with “ Libert,
and Equality.” The meafiire is predi-

On Friday lass, four blacks, by the
names of Johnson, Brimmer, Williams,
and Thoma's, were apprehended, and
brought before the Hon. Judge Bourne,
on suspicion of being guilty of the Seve
ral late thefts committed in the Stores
of Messrs. Bolton, Hathorne, Warren
and Jones, R. G. Shaw and Co. and
others. On examination, Johnson be
came evidence in behalf of the Com
monwealth, and disclosed the whole
tranfaftions. The goods were found
in the keeping of a man near the Glass
house. Property belonging to Messrs.
Freeman, Baty and Co. Brewer and
Keyes, were also found among the o
thers. As the (lores of Messrs. Brewer,
Freeman, Baty and Co. are kept in
buildings, occupied as dwelling-houses,
we understand they are committed on
suspicion of the crime of burglary also.
The dete&ion of these midnight plun
derers in their career ofpillage, is mat
ter of serious congratulation, and high
ly fortunate for the citizens.

Considerable damage has been done

FEVER at PHILADELPHIA;
A few days since our accopnts from
Philadelphia gave freafori to believe the
fever would soon disappear in that city ;
but the information by the mail of Sat
urday and last evening,mentions fikteeh
new cases to have occurred in 2 days ;
Several persons who had returned from
the country were taken sick. A letter
received at New-York from Philadel
phia, dated Sept. 1, fays there ware 21
new cases that day ; but they Were not
returned in season to be inserted in the
official report. - —=—
A fevete gale of wind was experienc

No damage was heard of, excepting

many of which fudained considerable

Dispatches, we underhand,have b<en
received by Government from Mr.
Simpson, our Consul at Morocco, dated
July 16th at Gibralter, which place, as
falfely rumoured, he had uotleft. The
reports refpeding Capt. McNeil's en
gagement with the Tunisians does not
appear , to have been confirmed by fub
feq,uent information, which, in case of
such adion, ought to have been receiv
ed by Mr. Simpson.
The Enterprize, Capt. Sterret; had
arrived at Gibralter on the 2d of July
from the squadron cruising off Tripoli.
The letters of Capt. Sterret are also si
lent as to Capt. M'Niel's engagement,
or his own, as reported ; which with
refpe& to the latter, amounts todifproof.
The warlike Operations of Morocco,
from the latest authentic accounts, were
not very adive. The nenv frigates, late
ly built, the one of 36, and the other
of 22 guns, were equipping slowly at
Salee on the Atlantic. The old frigate
lay at La Rash in the find ; t^ogailics
were fitting out at Tituan with edn
fiderable Spirit.
Another French frigate has joined
the squadron at New-York. Os the
negroes arrived in the other frigates,
numbers, we learn, get on shore, and
escape. They principal, are of the
military, and many of them have acted
as officers; Should they journey South
they will be an unwelcoqfofample “ of
oppressed humanity."

BOSTON, SEPT. 9.
The following remarkable inflances of Re
fifeitation, are related in the Tranjac
tionfof the Ro,al Hemani Society cf
England. x 778.
On the night of the sth of July, a
young maa by the name of Peter Lu
cas, while walking out,was struck down
by lightning ; and, before assistance
could be procured, an hour at least e
lapsed, all which time the apparently
lifelefs body was in the thunder storm
and a very heavy rain.
At half pad ten afliftance was call
ed.—The youth was carried home on
boards, to all appearance dead—the
body ftiff and universally cold, the fin
gers and toes contrasted,eyes funk,and
countenance livid. His wet clothes
were immediately removed, and the bo
dy placed between hot blankets. The
assistance then used strong fridion over
the whole body. A large orifice was
made in the bazilic vein, and twelve,
ounces of blood procured by flow de
grees bVolatiles were frequently ap
plied to the nostrils; and rubbed on the
temples ; Cardiac medicines repeated
ly attempted to be forced into the
mouth, but he was incapable of swal
lowing. Large refcicatories were ap
plied to the whole spine, and to the feet.
In half an hour, eight ounces more
of blood was taken away ; and, by the
repeated use of volatiles, together with
universal fii&ions, at half past eleven a
very flight convulsive motion of the
diaphragm, was perceived, which was
fuccceded by a partial warmth and ir
regular pulsation. These favorable
signs of returning animation were soon
followed by a very flow interrupted res
piration. About twelve, he began to
be capable of swallowing; and, by per
severance in the process of friction,with
the use of volatiles, &c. for an hour
longer, a regular pulsation ensued ; the
lungs again performed their office, and
the natural heat was diffufed. About
one he spoke, tho' not articulately, and
his mental faculties gradually returned
—ln the c®urfe of a week he was re
stored to the enjoyment of perfed
health. 1782.

Extracts from the Recorder, (Callender's
paper.)
" A great part of the firft and second
volumes of the Profpe& were finished*
for the press in the form which they
now Stand, under the immediate inspec
tion of Gen. Mason. A large propor
tion of the materials for the rest of the
work was borrowed from his copious
collection of all kinds of document.
“ By the bye Gen. Mason did not
find it convenient to attend, when he was
summoned as a witness upon the Rich
mond trial. His absence was regret
ted. He Wrote Callender a polite apol
ogy. He Was prevented as it Seems
from attending by bad health, weather,
and by basins. — He did not explain by
what ailmenthehad been founfeafonably

Take three pints of good old Coniac
Brandy, put into it an handful of sage,
and an handful of rue, with a small
quantity of wormwood ; simmer it till
half be confirmed, then put in the juice
of three common sized red onions, and
half an ounce of long pepper, and half
an ounce pf nutmeg in powder, and
then let it simmer a little,and put there
to an ounce of Venus-Treacle, and half
a pint of good Angelico water, keep
this as your life above all worldly trea

tion, which you muftdo morning and
evening, to the quantity of three quart
ers of a half pint. This draught will
operate as a most powerful cudorific,
will cleanse the flomach of all impurity,
and operate as a gentle cathartic. It
also renders the breath odoriferous to
the olfadory nerves, and quickens the
peristaltic motion : — It removes obstruc
tions from the inteflines, and enables
them to perform their fundions with
greater facility - It keeps tip the circu
lation ofthe fluids,and thereby hardens
the solids, while it preserves the social
intercourse of each, without the elafli
of contending elements in the animal
machine—lt has also an astonishing ef
fe& on the Brin of both old and young
people, men, women and children, by
rendering it fmootb, foft, and fair as
alabaster, giving it the delicate tinge of
the damask rofe—lt also gives strength
to the limbs, and suppleness to the
joints, removes gouty complaints, and
is a certain cure for the rheumatism,
falling off of the hair; and corns on the
toes. Such are the qualities of this
most excellent, and before unknown,
medicine together with many other
fpecific and general powers, too many
to be enumerated.
I will only add that if any Infidel
doubts, after reading the above, of the
use of fpecifics, but' more particularly
of this, the fin of silicide will lie at his
own door if he should happen to die
with using it.
