By Capt. Lunt, who arrived here on
Saturday hft, from Bay Maho, we
learn thata fleet arrived offPoint-Petre,
from Breit, confining .of three /hips of
the line and three frigates, with a num
ber of tranfports,wkh § or 6000 troops,
under the command of Adm. Baubet
and Gen. Richepanfe. On their ar
rival, Gen. Pelage, attended by his life
guard, assembled at the landing place
to receive the commander of the French
troops, but instead of treating him with
politeness, the French Gen. embraced
him with the " fraternal bug and con
fined him in his house with a strong
guard, and the poor blacks who com
plied with every thing offered, were
forced on board the Whipping in a mod
shocking condition, from 1500 to 2000
on board each ftiip, where they were
expofcci to the heavy rains^and icorch
ing rays of the fun, which generally
prevail in that climate. In consequence
of the blacks being confined on board
the Dipping, a large number deserted,
and went to Batiaterre, where they
made known the deplorable state of
their countrymen, which inspired them
with the true ardor of freemen, and
made an obstinate refilbw.ee under com
mand of Gen. Delgres, but it proved
ineffeaual, and the town was taken by
dorm, and every person who opposed
them were massacred, except a few who
retreated to fortCharles,where they con
centrated their force#. They were pur
sued by the French, who began bom
barding the fortrefs—and it was sup
posed that the issue would prove favor
able to the French. No intelligence is
received of the arrival of the St. Do
mingo fleet at Guadaloupe.
I'he accommodation between Touffaint and
Le Clerc is fully confirmed, which puts an end
to the war in St. Domingo. A fquadran is
laid to have since failed from thence, with 6000
troops on board, to take pofft^OQ of the rich
territory of Louisiana. WLM ...

Clonmel!, in Ireland, lift from Calcutta, now
Stationer to the Government, with an annual
income offae orfe thousand dollars, and the in
timatc friend and confident of the President of'
the United States. We will not insult a New-
Englandmau, by offering any comment upon
thia pi&ure of the Eastern States; we present
it, however, to our re„trs as a specimen of
the knowledge, spirit and character of Mr.
Jefferfon's republicanism.
" A critical examination of the state of morals
in New-England would be a painful pidure to
draw, but it would be ufeful to the people, be
cause it would display the pernicious effectsofthat
delusion under which they have been kept. It
is true, that the picture would reflect a deep
shade over the reputation of the States connect
ed wi'h them, and tend to kffen our country in
the eyes of the world—but after the experience
we have had of New-England politics for a
few years pad, and of the contempt of truth,
parfonal verity, and morals, with which crimes
are defended—it may be a question whether it
is notan ad of political justice to display the
horrid picture to the people of New-England
thcmfelves—that they may open their eyes and
fefeue themselves from the shame, and the hy
pocricy that destroys them."

From tbeHAPANNA.
SALEM, JUNE 4.
Yesterday arrived the schooner At
lantic, Capt. James- Odell, 19 days
from the Havanna. He informs, that
tince the great fire at the village (which
is Climated to have destroyed upwards
of 50CQ houles) daily al'empts have
been made to set tire to the Regulas and
Alibacore, towns in the neighbourhood
of the Havanna ; but owing to the er
ections of many American coopers who
reside in those places, the fires had been
extinguished without much damage.
It was supposed that these fires were
kindled, in order to induce the admis
sion of the Americans with flour, as
the inhabitants were in great want of
the common productions of their foil,
owing to a continued drought of nine
months ; but it had no effect, and the
Government rigidly adhered to their
cxclufion. Flour was at 30 dollars
the barrel. Capt. O. left at the Ha
vanna about 40 fail of Americans ;
none belonging to the northward of
Cape Cod.
Capt. Bonamy, of the schooner An
toniette, arrived at New-York, from
Cayenne, informs, that several Ameri
can vessels arrived there before his de
parture, but were not permitted to en
ter or to dispose of their cargoes, unless
it consisted of flour, which was in great
demand, and fold at from 12 to 14. dol
lars per barrel. The prohibition,which
was rigidly enforced by Viftor Hughes,
the Governor, was said to be occasion
ed by the arrival of 4 French Chips
from Europe, who had supplied the
Colony with every necessary article of
consumption, excepting flour.

" The fettUment and improvement of this
county is rapidly increasing, and at no distant
day the carriage of our produce from the mouth
of the Mffifippi will be a great business. You
doubdefs have beard of the commencement of
the (hip building business at Marietta,ajty and
a brig are now to defeend the river ; if they
mould meet with success, the business may be
considered ax eftablilhed, unless the possession
of Loufiana by the French should interfere with
the freedom of the navigation of the Miffifippi.
It will behove ourGovemment to have a watch
ful eye <o that objed, which is of incalculable
coi.fequioce to this country and to the Uhion, if
ituegrity of the nation may be considered as of
the lead importance ; for this country must fol

Yesterday the Legislature of this
State convened in this town. In the

It will not be amiss for our Newhamplhire
Legislators now and then, as occasion may re
quire during the session to review the doings of
our National Administration.
The lullaby inauguration fpcech may be re
coNcded declaring in the most conciliatory
tone , We arc all Republicans, all Federal,: ,
and the conduct since, by which almost every
Federal^ in office in Newhampffiirc has been
turned out. The placing a Foreigner at the
head of the treasury, as though no native citi
zen of the United Stites was fit for the office
The permanent iucreafe of salaries.—The ap
pointment of Postmasters, in Newhampffiire,
made to fubferve electioneering purposes. The
repeal of the Judiciary Law to get rid of good
Judges and Courts that were troublesome with
regard to Virginia debts, which it has been found
eaficr the United States should pay as they have
agreed to do, than that the debtors should pay
themselves. —The abolition of the tax onCoaches
and on Whiskey, leaving the duties on Molaffea,
sugar, and other neceffarics of life as high as
ever. No doubt the advocates of this Syflem
will be very busy about our Legislature, in or
der to get their favorites into place, and if pos
sible to fan&ion these meafures—fach men
ought to be heard with much caution, and their
artifices which are calculated merely to serve
themselves and the Virginia supremacy ought
to be treated by^very Newhampfhire man with
contempt

that it was not his object to eulogize the piety
