By a gentleman just from Halifax
county, we are informed, that a confpi
racy,among the negroes thete, was hap
pily difeovered a few days ago. Some
cf the ringleaders, with twelve or thir
teen others, are in cullpdy. The mili
tia of the country are ordered out, and
patroles instituted.
The plan of those misguided wretch
es, was to have embodied on, or near
the river Staunton, about Etfer ; to
have possessed themselves of whatever
arms they could lay their hands on ; to
have miflKred their matter#, and all
others that opposed their measures.—
Several pikes, or lances, forged, by one
of their number, a blacksmith, were
difeovered. 4 Their plot, 'tis said, is of
considerable Extent, and that commu
tiication is held betwixt the negroes of
this state, and those of the Cafolinas,
for the purpose of concerting measures
to effect their freedom, or perish in the
attempt.

tram DOMINICA.
Capt. Stoddard has, arrived at New-
Bedford io 26 days from Dominica.
The Bth, or African regiment, had mu
tinied—complaining of not being well
paid and provisioned.—They killed 3
of their principal officers ; and took
possession of a fort. The revolters then
proposed the conditional surrender of
the fort to the Governor in person.—
But when the blacks had nearly per
formed their agreement, they suddenly
resumed their arms, and fired upon the
Governor,& the troops with him. The
Governor's horse was ffiot under him,
and he himfelf wounded, and many of
the English killed. The fire was vig
orously returned, many of the negroes
fell, others ran to the fort, and threw
themselves over upon the rocks, so that
it was said none of the mutineers were
taken alive. —^-— ^
From CAPE FRANCOIS, APRIL 16.
Urrtraa from a letter toegentleman in this tram.
" Yesterday, atthe camp, there was
an interview between the Commander
in Chief, Le Clerc, and the black Gen
eral, Christophe, when, it is said, the.
latter agreed upon terms of submission
to the former.—The black officer and
his army are expeded in town to-mor-,
row. Nothing new of TouifTaint."
BOSTON, MAT #9.
LATE FROM St. DOMINGO.
Arrived at New-York, brig Hope,
Capt. Lee, from Cape Francois, which
place he left the 2d May, after being
detained there upwards of two months.
Capt. Lee informs, that two day pre
vious to his leaving Cape Francois, an
interview teok place at Hant-de-Camp,
(a village at the distance of about three
miles from the Cape) between the Com
mander in Cfiief, L'e Clerc, and Gen.
Christophe ; but that the refultot the
conference had not been officially made
known. The most pleasing conclu
sions were, however, drawn on the fub
je&; and there existed not a doubt
but that Christophe had negociated
terms for himfelf and his army, as he
was to be in the Cape on the day the
Hope failed, and preparations were
making to receive and entertain him in
a manner suitable to his rank, by the
General of the Northern Division,
Hardy, with whom Christophe was
that day to dine.
Various peculations were abroad, as to the
probability of Touiffaint's being a party to the
arrangements of Christophe. Those bell ac
quainted with the character of the latter, were
firmly of opinion that he would not conclude
/any agreement to which his Chief was not a
party ; and this opinion was Strengthened by
the publicity and form of the audience at Hant
de-Camp. Christophe refufed to come within
the French lines until a white officer of equal
rank was sent as hostage. The meeting was
unlike that of a traitor dealing an opportunity
to betray hid trust.
These circnmftances have diffafed a general
joy amongst the inhabitants of Cape town, who
begin to look forward to the time when their
troubles will be terminated.
A very distressing accident happened at the
annual military Infpedion, the 4th inst. at
Dedham. Capt. William Everett's company,
after exercising, were directed to r ^ a few min
utes ; during which, two of the privates (by
the names of Gay and Morse,) charged their
pieces with balls to shoot at a mark, after they
should be dismissed. One of the non-commis
sioned officers rcmonftrated against this unmil
itary procedure ; but in vain. The company
being called to attention, the Captain recommenc
ed the manual exercise : and on giving the com
mand to jire, Morse's gun went off, and its
whole contents entered the neck of the Cap
tain, he being within two yards of its muzzle,
cut off the largest artery, and came out by his
shoulder blade. He sallied back, asked “ Who
did this fell on his face, and instantly expired.
He was an industrious hufbandman,an affection
ate parent, a benevolent neighbour and friehd,
an ufeful citizen; and a widower, with nine
finall children,the cldcft about sateen. His re
mains Were interred on Tburfday, with milita
ry honors, previous to which a sermon was de
livered at the mceting-houfe, by the Rev. Mr.
Checkering; and prayers by the Rev. Melfa.
Whithaker and T. Thacher.
The young mao, by whose thoughtlessness
apd unfoldiery conduct, the accident Was oc
casioned, was Vety suitably affeded thereon.
MURDER!!!
We hear from Medfield, that on Tuefday last,
a Mr, Mason murdered his brother-in-law, Mr.
William Alien, while they Wefe at Work to
gether in the field. T^ criminal was soon se
cured, and is now confined in the goal in Ded
ham ; but difeovered no symptoms of remorse
for the perpetration of the horrid deed. It is
remarkable, that on the fame hour, of the fame
day of the fame month, last year, and on land
owned by a Mr. Mason, the murder of Miss
Fata wax commuted.
Government has difeontinued the ptadice of
putting in a state of requisition all the articles
of pro vifi&n that had lately arrived, the necessi
ty for that measure having ceased. An addi
tional duty of 10 per sent, making in the whole
20 per cent, had been laid on all descriptions
of dry goods not the manufadure of France,
or not imported In French bottoms.,
Capt. Mitchell, arrived at New- York, from
the Chefapeak informs, that as he came out of
the river, he saw three Dutch 74 gun ships,
which he supposed were part of the Batatian
fleet from Cape Francois.
g, The intelligence of the figningof the ex
change of the ratifications of the Definitive

We are desirous of correcting an error in the
last Oracle. On the revival of Fcderalifm, un
der the New-York head, it is Hated that Mr.
Thomas a Democrat, had been ousted and his
place filled with a Federalist. This is an error,
we gleaned from an Albany paper and is thus
accounted for—A number of towns round the
Skirts of Thomas's Diftri& voted highly Fed
eral—not paying a proper attention to the
boundary of this diftri&, they included these
Federal towns, and adding all the votes, an
nounced the election of a Federalist.—They
have apologized for the error.
Mr. Griswold a Federalist, is probably elect
ed a Representative to Congress for Qnedia
cotinty,—The last accounts gave him 1518, and
Bloodgood 854 only.
Major CAREY is a gentleman of
most unexceptionable character, and
gave universal fatirfaaion—a warm
friend to the American revolution, in
which he took an active part. And
in this he was supported by all his fami
ly and connexions, who were noted for
their fervency and zeal in the Ameri
can cause. , The gallant anions of his
father in the American army are well
remembered—but good reputation,
amiable manners, the fatisfadion given
to our fellow-citizens in the official ca
pacity of Major Cilley availed not—
for he had the misfortune of being a
—Federalist. —o—
