"I suppose you have heard of the attack
the French made on Qaudaloupe, since the
capture of it by the English—ls not, these
are the particular# : They landed t god men
at Point-Peter, which was guarded but by
40 British who repulsed them three different
times; but they came on the fourth time,
and carried it—when there was but one man
•remaining in the garrison, who gave three
^huzzas, and told them he was ready to die,
after doing his country justice, and they im
* mediately put him to death. The French
have aded very cruelly at that place by put
ting to death defencelefs men, women, and
: children, (which is a verbal report): Ad
miral Jervis, who was at St. Kitt's, on re
ceiving the hews,immediately failed for Gau
daloupe, and has properly hemmed in the
French fleet ; the troops were on their march
,from other parts of the island to attack them ;
and it is foppofed they are completely de
'feated by this." r
" P. S. Since writing the above, we have
received certain accounts, that Admiral Jer
vis has taken thd whole French fleet at Gau
daloupe, confiding of five frigates. The,
whole of the French troops are also destroy
ed."

A Vermont paper slates, that it is
reported by a gentleman of veracity
from Canada, that the Indians fre
quently visit Got. Simcoe with scalps
of the citizens of the United Stately
that the Governor, for the encourage
ment of the business, has offered a
guinea a piece for them, and has ac
tually purchased 15 at that rate : that
no bufioek can be done by agents for?
lands in the Canadas : and that on
.the Britilh frontier they were repair
ing and fortifying their garrisons, and
raifiog men to man them.
< Why will men forget they are Brethren ?'
On the 14th of April last, the ju
diciary of Montreal condemned a
young Canadian to the pillory for
having taken money from two Eng
lish merchants, who had both hired
him to trade with the Indians. The
conduct of the young man was illegal,
but was far from deferviog the pen
ifhment pronounced, which should
_be referred for crime#. The people
who were prefect at the trial were so
roused by this despotic sentence, as to
cry aloud in open court that the pun
ishment (hould not be inflided, and
they opposed it with such firmnefs
that the' young man was ,eleafed.-
The people did not content themselves
wth this, but went in a body to the
public fquftdemolifhed the pillory,
and' threw the parts io the river.—
"Thence they proceeded to the prifoo,
with an intention to open its doors,
and it was with difficulty that some
refpe&ble citizem p erfoilded them to
desist, promising that in future no fim
jbr injustice food# be attempted, and
that punithmems thenceforth should
Be proportioned to ate^fy.

There were nine persons in the boat;

The fliip Washington, Captain Sylvester,

The Governor of Canada publish
ed a proclamation last winter, prohib
iting all conversation on the fubjed of
the French Revolution, under penalty
of imprisonment. The people ab
stained for a time, except in private,
but since (peak of it openly, and with
enthusiasm. They laugh at the ar
bitrary mandate, arid generally detest
the English government, which allo
failed,in an attempt to engage the in
habitants to form military volunteer
corps. With this intention the ptiefts
in town and country were directed to
preach in favour of the plan, and to
preach against the French revolution;
But this, far from rendering that re
volution odious in the eyes of the peo
ple, or of forwarding the plan of vol
unteer corps, had a contrary effect.

-=" The Monarchial Governments of
Europe contain 4,000,000 prisoners,

8,000 Frenchmen at Paris/ ?
46 Under his monarchy, 400,000
men were confined, for one year, and
in that space of time, 1,500 smug
glers were hanged.
“ Under the fame odious govern
