The following Endemic disease,
peculiar to the climate of the Caroli
nas, broke out a few days Since in
the town o£ Stonington. Two men
were diverting themselves in a very
serious manner in the arc of boxing,
when one of them finding the other
gaining the advantage of him; was
" malicious enough, in the heat of his
ire, to gouge out the eye of his An
tagonist ! What punishment can be
too Severe for the perpetrator of So
infamous an a&ion ?

The accounts from St.-Domingo, of
the arrival of troops there are very
extraordinary. A letter fiOinPort-au-
Prince, of the ipth Feb. fays they had
not arrived—one from the fame place,
of the Bth, mentions that they had ar
rived. .We believe this is certain,
that a considerable number had arriv
ed at Cape Francois, at the date of our
last accounts therefrom—and that oth
ers were momehtly expe&ed. When
the whole force for their relief,(lSoo)
Should have arrived, offensive operati
ons against the black rebels were de
termined on—and from the undisci
plined and impoverished condition of
the latter, there were no doubts enter
tained of their being speedily fubjeft
ed. .— : :
The Thunder-Storm, on the even

The King of the French has ad
dressed the National Leg foture,on the
fubjeft of the hostile measures of the
French Refugees, and that of the pow
ers which countenance them. — He
appears determined to refill every at
tempt towards a' counter.revolution
—and to vindicate the honour of the
French nation against all its oppo
lers. For this purpose lie informs,-
that he has taken' decisive measures
for dispersing the troops embodied on
tire frontiers —declares, in the face of
all France, that nothing fh^l weary
hh perfevefance, or relax his efforts
—and assures th3 nation that he will
never depart from the conllitu tional
line—and that he feels profoundly
hom glorious it is to heKlN^ of 4 FREE
PEOPLED : . : .'
The National Afc^Uy have return
ed him their thanks—and promise an
active co-operation, in all measures
neceff-fry t'o convince the world' that
they are the Reprefentatices of a
People determined to be free. They
fay a kingdom, extending from the
Rhine to the Pyrenees, and from the
Alps to the Ocean, cannot be over
run rand that men who would rouse
to arms to prorrtbte the ambitious
views ofadifedek Monarch, must
be invincible in the cause of a nation
of FREEMEN.^
Icis true, that the troops of the
Empire are Marching towards the
frontier of France ;- and that it is also
true, that the French Princes are re
solutely determined to perfeve^e in
the designs toeffeft a,Counter-Revo
lution ; but it is true, that the Nati
al Troops will defend their country
and chastise its enemies, or die in the
last ditch.„

In the National Assembly ofFrdnee,

from M.Toscan, the French Consul

the Assembly that he had taken the

of his salary as a patfiotick donation,
and tog livres saved by his wife r as
