FROM MARTINICO._
By an arrival at this port, we have
intelligence, that the white inhabit
ants of that iiland, who lately revolt
ed against the new government of
France, are on the remove to the Eng,
lijb, Dseeb, and Danife islands. ——-A
great number of females had already
embarked for St. Kitt's, and those who
remained 'were in fearful apprehen,
lions of die arrival of Gen. Rocham
beau from Hispaniola, with his forces.
Much confuflon prevailed in the island
and the anti-revolutionists experienced
much diftrefs.^. ;
By papers from Paris, it is, authen
ticated, that an army of 4.9,000 men,
was forming in France, destined on an
Expedition to spread the bteffings of
EQUAL LIBERTY in %i*.
The Camp near Paris was entirely
broken up ; arid the workmen employ
ed in the fortifications ijfcharged. 1
The Am^canTw^onOranceflre'
treated with great refped and atten
tion—and the government, Confident
of their fidelity, are felicitous to en^
gage them in the service of the Re
peHick : Several who. have gone'
thither, have been promoted to, Field
Officers ; and some to < Marechal-db-
Cam,, a grade equal to Major General:
, A. Cadiz paper mentions,
that a comriKrckl treaty is
certainly negociating between
the Court of Madrid and th&
United States of America ; and
many of the Cadf^r merchants
were in high fpirics, in hopei
that it must prove considerably
beneficial', not only to theif
country itigeifer^,but ro them,
selves in particulars
Continues confined in the famous
castle, or State-prison. of Spandau, in
Prussia, whither he has lately been re
moved from Luxembourg. On his
journey to Spandau, he ran a great rifle
of losing his- life, from some exaspe
rated emigrants in one of the German
towns through which he passed.
When a facrifice is intended, fays
Sterne, it is cafy to pick flicks Effici
ent to make the fire. The good
Fayette, because he left his army, and
visited Paris, was denounced,threaten,
ed and proscribed ; and was obliged to
save bis life, to fly his county. Da
mourier has done what Fayette did;
he left his army, inr avery important
hour, repaired to Paris, has addressed
the NationalConvention,and has been
applauded. The fame their conduft,
but how different their late! TheCon
vention,however, are not so inveterate
againlt Fayette, as the Assembly werL
tided they accomplidied it: one of
them actually eat twenty, and the
other eighteen and an half,each drink
ing a pint of water during the time of
performance, which was within an
hour. Each cake weighed a quarter of
a pound.

Mr. Printer,
UPON feeing the problem of " A
free Enquirer, in your Gazetteer
or the 26th ulc. the following proverb
occurred to my mind—
"A question ma, be proofed by as—l,
Which a wife man can't anfwerjor his
Bat now Mr. Free Enquired, suppos
ing you had been expoled to the fury
of an oldLionefs yoyears of age, would
you not be enraged to kill her, and all
her whelps, though but an hour old.—
the one for the mifehief ihe had done,
and would do—and the other for the
mifehief, which their ferocity would
lead them to do?—But where is tie
jultice of in Hiding the fame kind of
punishment, on each of them ?
The argument against the eternal
damnation of all those who are not in
Christ, would be of equal force against
any damnation, dr death whatever.
But we know, that infants of an hdur
old fametimes die, as well as sinners of
70 years old. And if you can deter
mine the proportion between the evil
of the infant's death, and- that of the
aged firiner, then you have sagacity
Enough to solve your own question, to
a mathematical nicety, by an accurate
ftatemen: of the dodrine of Infinites,
and need not disturb the public with
your blustering " aforefaid”—"aforc

addressed the clergyman, when he was
going to perform the ceremony :—
" Fifty years since," said he, “ in o
bedience to the firlt great command to
increase and multiply, I was married
by your grandfather ; at this time of
day I expected to have had a grandson
able and willing to supply my place ;
but I find myfelf again compelled co
come forward in my own perfon,as my
grandson is too much of a fine gentle
man to have any regard tor the inter
ests of society, and is too deeply enga
ged in the career of fashionable di@a
tion, to be qualified for the difeharge
of so important a duty."
