PHILADELPHIA, June S.
lIE lad letters received by Citizen j
A Genet, minister plenipotentiary of
tlie French republic to the United States,
from the National Commissioners at St.
Domingo, contain the moil fatisfaftory
particulars refpefting the tranquility which
the colony enjoys firice the l'urrender of
Port-au Prince, on the I2tl» cf April last,
and ihe expulsion of men, who llirred up
by the Britilh government, had formeJ
rhedefignof delivering up the colony to
that power, where they had long been so
menting diflui-bailee.", and meditating the
ruin of the country, or its separation from
the French empire."
These inveterate enemies to France are,
110 doubt, those who have spread a notion
through the United States, that American
veffcis carrying provisions to the French
part of St. Domingo, might run the riffk
of being seized there with their cargoes.
The citizens of the United States, may on
the contrary red affined, that they lhall
always receive from the National Cum
mifiioner3 and public functionaries in that
colony, the pioteftion which they have a
light to expeift for themselves and their
property, and that they (hall be duly paid
lor all such articles as they may supply
the colony with ; the National Convention
having put coufiderable sums in their dis
posal for that objedt, besides what they
raise from the contributions in produce
levied on the inhabitants of the colony.
The attack made by the British on the
ifiand of Tobago, will be one of the me
morable serns of the French revolution.
Soldiers animatedbythelove ofhbertv,were
alone capable of the refillance which was
eppofed by FORTY MEN, to a very
numerous body of English troops. On
the 15th of April, in the night, the Eng
li;h landed on Courland Bay two com
plete regiments, besides a great number of
volunteers brought from Barbadoes, and
French emigrants from the colonies. The
landing was efiedted by the active adillance
of four fifths of the inhabitants of the
iiland, who are almost all English, and
with whom the British generals had long
maintained a secret correspondence. Those
coloniils who were atleait bound by their
oaths of allegiance, to remain quiet fpec
tatois of the contefl—ferved on the con
trary as guides to the English troops
during the night, who arrived at 3 o'clock
in the morning under the small fort of To
bago, garrisoned by 40 regulars only.
Not until that moment, was Montel, the
commandant, informed of the arrival of the
Britilh ; the garrison immediately pre
pared for a vigorous defence, with an ar
dour that it is irnpoffible to describe.
The brave Montel, who had already ac
quired a great reputation by his conduit
at St. Lucia, of which he was goveinorat
the time of the rebellion of Martinique
and Guadaloupe, being summoned to fur
lender, answered, that such men as his
fellow-foldiers and himfelf, could not sur
render to the slaves of despotism. The
filing began and was kept up very brilkly
on both fides ; the English aftonilhed at a
reliflance \vhich they were not prepared
for, from the affuiances they had received
from the French emigrants, that the pa
triotic banditti, would fly on their firft ap
proach, offered for the second time to the
commandant, a cap tulation on the mod
honorable terms ; his answer was, that he
never would capitulate, and that they
might begin the ailault with which he was
threatened. On this answer, the English
generals in fact ordered the foit to be
itormed : coinage was obliged to yield to
numbers, and the fort was taken sword in
hand. The loss was very corvfiderable on
the fide of the English, one of their gene
rals was dangerou/Iy wounded. On the
French fide, the brave forty were almost
all killed or wouqded, and the few survi
vors were sent to England as prisoners of
■war; commandant Montel was one d
these.
Those forty men, were a detachmenl
from the second battallion of the brave
31ft regiment, formerly called Aunis,
which is stationed at St. Lucia, and has
acquired the greatefl reputation, by the
valour and patriotism of the ciiizen sol
diers who compose it.'*
According to Britilh accounts, a Swe
dish naval armament is going forward in
the port of Carifcrona, in Sweden. The
fleet confillsof sixteen fail, from 70 to 26
guns. It appeared to be deflined for the
Baltic, and it was reported that a fleet of
35 Ruffian men of war were to join them.
Two commillionsrs of the French National
Convention were daily expe&ed at Stock
holm to aflc whether the Swedes' chose to
acknowledge the French Republic. In
cafe of refufal, they were to threaten the
government with an embargo on all Swe
iiift (hips in French ports. The fleet above
mentioned was to take on board three re
giments of land forces, and 3000 gunners
and matrofies.
The follawing lift of the members of the
third Congrefj of the United States, has
been collected from the newspapers of the
fevera! Hates, and is thought to be pretty
accurate. The Third Congress will meet
r>n the firft Monday in .December next. —
