BALTIMORE, flint 21.
The following letter and proclamation were lafl ev
ening received at Bryden's coffee house, from a
French gentleman lying off the fort, at quaran
tine, which have been translated for the Tele
graphE.
At the Fort of Baltimore 21st of
June, 1802.
There is an avenging God who punches perfidy.
The traitor, the cunning villain, is at length in
irons. Touflaint has been arretted at Georges
plantation, of Gonaives didritt, the seventh of
this month, as well as his captain, guides, and sev
en companions of his crimes, by an officer named
Ferrary, and five of his brave soldiers—all resis
tance became vain, they were seized, bound hand
and foot, mounted upon horses and conducted to
Gonaives, where they were instantly embarked on
board the Creole frigate. The correfpon'dence of
this villain has been difcovered —he meditated new
crimes. They were principally directed aga'ind
the general in chief Le Clerc, his family ahd body
guard. Fontaine his firft aid-de-camp, arretted
fame day at the Cape, and imprisoned, was charg
ed with furuifhing him details, and. preparing a
new conspiracy. The chief Sylla is actively en
gaged in counteracting his schemes, as Jupplies of
all jpecie s of military fores, particularly gun pow
der packed in flour barrels, were promised him by
some persons of the United States, and which he to ss
adjured of receiving by some trusty associates. What
a bloody enterprize ! indeed we may exclaim
with the poet—
" Quid non mortalia petiora cogis duriJacra fairies"
I annex the proclamation, ligned by the general
in thief, of an event Co interesting to the human
face, and the future prosperity of St. Domingo.
It is impossible to describe the joy which this pub
lication has produced amongst all the inhabitants
of the Cape.
In the evening all the city was voluntarily illu
minated without public orders, and effigies repre
senting this hypocritical brigand, were burnt by
the negroes in different parts.
. I am with refpeft, &c.
Fs LESTART,
Merchant and Planter of St. Domingo.
LIBERTY. EQUALITY.
ARMY OF ST. DOMINGO.
The general in chief to the citizens of St. Domingo.
General Touffaint not being contented with en
joying the antnefty which had been granted him,
attempted again to kindle the flames of civil war.
I have thought proper to cause him to be arrest
ed. The proofs of his bad conduct since the am
mefty,fhall be extenSvely published.
This-measure which insures tranquility to the
colony should by no means alarm those who have
laid down their arms, and shall have submitted
with good faith to the republic.
At head quarters of the Cape, the 20th Prairial
—loth year of the republic.

27/b Anniversary of
, AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE !
"This glorious day to American FREEMEN, Was
noticed by the citizens of this town, yesterday,
with every demonstration of joy, feftivity and
While various parties regaled themfel res in dif
ferent directions, on the water, in resorts to coun
try fedrve hoards ; there was a numerous and re
fpeftable company, confiding of about one hun
dred of the firft Traders of this town, joined by
a number of highly deemed gentlemen from the
country, partook of aii elegant dinner previously
provided for the occasion, by Mr, Joseph Taufr

all,
You have only to join us in Jefferson Hall.
Derry Down, &c.
*Too much praise cannot be beflowed on Mr.
Taunzan for the elegant and Juperb flyle in which
this repaji was Jerved up.
How mortifying is it to our weekly railers
against the President, that all their slander cannot
provoke him to any aft of severity against them
or their friends. He even continues many of them
in offices dependent on his pleasure, and treats
them with degree of mingled indifference, com
plaisance and kindness, which makes some of them
ashamed of themselves.
Extrafl of a Letter from the Secretary of the Trea
sury, to Collector of the Port of Boflon.
IN order to obtain an eligible plan, it appears
proper, and I request you to insert in one of the
new fpapers, an advertisement offering a premium
of FIFTY DOLLARS for the molt approved
plan for an Hospital, of four thousand square feet
erea, two Hories of ten and eight feet high, with
cellers below :—The rooms for the tick to be well
aired, & of varied sizes, from twelve to twenty
feet square :—The convenient distributions of the
rooms and economy of space and confirmation,
will be principally regarded in the division—A
groundplan, elevation and feftion, will be expeQ
ed to be transmitted to the Office of the Secretary
of the Treasury, on or before the 15th of August
next, plan not approved shall be returned."
The U. S. frigate Constitution, which has been
for some time repairing at Boston, is ordered into
ordinary ; and the officers put on half pay.
2. The human intelleft, may the clouds of ig
norance and the mist of superstition be dispersed
by the fun of reason.
10. The true republicanism, who conquers the
hearts of his fellow citizens by his clemency and
moderation at the moment he defeats the defighs
of the factious, by his penetration and firmnefs.
11. The man who can doubt in the principles of
Republicanism, be brought to conviction by the
errors of aristocracy.
12. The growth of Republicanism in New-
Hampshire.
13. May we ever hold in grateful remembrance
all those who persevere in generous endeavors to
promote the welfare of bur country.
14. May all those who for sordid interest, en
deavor to betray their country, meet the fame
fate with their predecessor, the grand traitor-
Judas.
15. The citizens of Portsmouth—May their
aftive zeal in the cause of Freedom encourage
others to follow their laudable example.
16. The American Fair—May they be blessed
with patriotic hearts, and Republican husbands.
The following song was composed for the occasion
by John Wentworth, EJq. and Jung with rapture.
ALL hail to the day that bids us display
Our liberties, charters our rights in away
That inspires our hearts at liberty's call,
To celebrate praises in Jefferson Hall.
Derry Down, &c.
This day to Columbia so great and so dear,
The hearts of Americans ever will cheer,
That did tyrant's o'erthrow, and Tories appal,
And brings us together in Jefferson Hall.
Derry Down, &c.
That man so rever'd, so virtuous, so great,
Who fav'd a whole people—and then saved. the
State ;
By wisdom and firmnefs : 'tis him we extol,
And ring Jefferfon' spraifes thro' Jefferson
Hall. Derry Down, &c.
Our lov'd Constitution we swear to defend,
Till terror's put down, and time have no end,
Againit armics.of Judges ; make ToriesfngJmall;
Whilst triumphs resound in Jefferson Hall.
Derry Down, &c.
Let envy, let malice, let faction retire ;
Republican virtues our bosoms inspire, '
Would you know how they fioorifh in us one and
4. The memory of the ilhillrions Washington.
5. The memories of those heroes who fell in our
ftruggfe for liberty—may no dereliction of those
principles for which they fought and bled, damp
their joy in the realms of glory.
6. The State of New-Hampfliire-.-may fire
cease to follow the counsels of her enemies, and to
forget her tried friends.
7. The militia of the United States, may their
valor and discipline ever fupercede the necefflty of
a standing army.
8. Republican, may it rife above the weeds
that grow around it, and be durable as the moun
tain oak.
TALLEYRAND & HAMILTON
Talleyrand, it seems toasted Hamilton as
the ^reateft man in the United States; and
the federalfs boast of it. This is truly like
themselves ; but in order that the public
might understand the character of the pane
gyric, the feds ought to republish the por
trait given by themselves of Talleyrand in
the X, Y, and Z business. Talleyrand,
perhap,, judged of Alexander's greatness by
his own, for it is no Uncommon thing for a
man to commend his own likeness, The
debauchee of Paris might easily difeover
greatness in the debauchee of New-York.
