PHILADELPHtA,,IARCH 17.
Yesterday, fch'r Lydia, Capt. Brown, from Cape
Francos, which he left tite gob uh. By the Lydia
we learn that on the i3di of Feb# the French
troops marched out of the town, and about four
o'clock in the morning, attacked a large body of
regrots on the plains, from whom they received
one lire, and immediately rushed on them, and
with the bayonet killed between 4 and 5000, when
the rest took to iheir heels. The French loft a
General and 200 men.
The Cullom Houle is opened at the Cape and
the American vckels were getting away as full as
pullinle.
By letters front the Cape, the both Feb. receiv
ed by the Lydia, Capt. B. it appears, that every
thing was tranquil in the town, th„t the mafl'acre,
as mentioned in lot mer reports, did not takeplace,
that Mr. Lanchefttr was the only victim ; that the
army commanded by Gen. Leclerc in person, had
marched on the igrh agaiidl Touffaint ; that the
French had already in pofieffiou, Port de Puix
Port Republican, Fort Dolphin, Cape Nicholas
Mole, Jean Rabelie, and Santa J igo in the Span
j{h part of the llland, that the commanders oi the
three last mentioned places, had Itirrendered itd
mediarely to the commander in chief, and were
by him continued in their refpeAive ranks, and
employed in the army, that the administration
will purchase provisions of every kind at the fol
lowing rates :=-Flaur 12 dolls, pgr bbl. Pork 25
dolls, per bbl. and Beef 15 dollars.
Capt. B. had permission to depart, as he brought
out a French Commify-v..
quest that 5606 men might be received in the
town, Neither Touflaint nor Deffaline, were
there. A white man at that time—the metferiger
was very well received by him; and vias told, be
had no reasons fdr oppoling a difembarkaiiun ; at
the fame moment two officers oi Deadlines'
guards, one a negro and the other a mulatto, gave
notice that they were inverted with secret orders
from the Governor to take the command and op
pose the boding of a tingle foidier previous to his
arrival. The Aid de Gamp and the boat-officer
were arretted. During the night, patroles of ne
groes made search in all the houses, arretted all
the whites they could find, and feat them under
escort for La Croix des-bouquets. Some persons
found means to get 00 board and inform the gen
eral of what was passing, (and that is what has
laved the white people and the town.) From that
moment Gen. Bondet caused one regiment to land
below Fort Bizoton ; they met with no opposi
tion: the garriluu, on the contrary, followed the
troops, who immediately marched for Port-au-
Prince. When they arrived at the gate called
Leogane, they experienced fonle remittance, which
however did not continue long ; all was carried
at the pas de charge, and they arrived in the heart
of the town without having fired a lingle firot.
More troops were then landed to take pdfleffion
oj that famous Fort built by the English, and
which by its portions commands the whole town :
but they found it already deferred by the renown
ed myrmidons of Tourfaint, who did not dare even
to lire the guns which were all found ready load
ed. The troops then proceeded towards La
Croix des-bguquets, which the negroes let on fire
\v^cu they heard of their advancing againtt them.
This enabled a threat part of the whiles to make
their escape. It is reckoned that 150 have been
carried away to Mirabalais, and much tear is en
tertained of their having been massacred, together
with a great number of people in that quarter,
* which has been burnt. L'Arcabaye and part of
La plaint du Cul de Sac have likewile been burnt :
the spirit of the negroes in this lull mentioned
place is said to be excellent, and that they have
,exerted themselves to dop the progress of the fire.
St. Mirks and Les Gonatves are in the posses
sion ot the Negroes. Touffaint it is said, intends
making refinance at the latter place, which would
be a very delirable thing, as his person would soon
be in the power of the French. All is burnt and
every individual has been nuffacred ar Leogane.
The French are makers of Grand and Petit Goave,
and of a great part of the fouth of the Island.
Jacquemel (where the white people have also been
maflacred) and Jeremie are still held by the ne
groes. 300 republicans going from Leogane to
possess Grund-Goave, have been Gopt on tlieir
match at Fort Lacid, varrifoned by 1500 negroes ;
they have forced it with the bayonet, and more
than 1200 negroes have been killed.
" Ail letters agree in thtiug th 1 if the French
continue th. fame activity and ardor, every thing
will faon be fettled. Negroes, and even chiefs,
are art iving from all quarters to surrender them
lelves.
" It had been Gid that the commandant of
L'Arcahave had offered to fiibmit, and to give up
the whites arretted in that quarter ; at the depar
ture of the brig troops were embarking to repair
thither.
" At the time the brig failed 25,000 troops
Were computed to be arrived. Gantheaume had
just arrived with 3000 more read' in the different
ports of France to oe embarked if found necefl'ary.
Add to all this, such of the the negroes as can be
armed, who have served in the 6ld corps of blacks,
and have aflureoly not followed the other blacks
into the woods?'

Portsmouth, March 30, ißoi.
We are furry to be under the neceffit, of
ap Jogizing to our numerous, patrons for
the incorrect statement of the return of votes
for Governor, in the last Ledger. Conceiv
ing the Editors of the " candid" Oracle had
obtained their returnsfroHi authentic Sources,
we ventured, for once, to copy a few towns
from that paper, (" the one left at this b fc e >
which might pefebiy have been intended tor
fume one not residing in town) but we have
since learned that they were copied from
that fountain bf falfehood, the Bolton Cen
tincl. To correct this miltake, we have
thought best to give, at one view, a lift of
all the votes which have been received
frorii authentic sources.

A FEDERAL TRICK.
[The following is inserted for the information
of & ur readers in the dijlrifl of sAaine, left
they Jbouid be deceived by the vve intrigues
made use of in the Tory .prints.]
The Tories in the Reign of Terror, used
to boast of being Fedcralilts, and wore in
their.hats, that unequivocal Badge of Fed
eralifru, the Cockade— But now , fudooth,
Federalism is thrown aiide, and they endeav
our to cover themselves with the mantle ut
Republicanism ; but ail will not do, these
wolves in theeps' clothing, are ealily known
by true Republicans, who will (trip them
of their taife covering, and expule them to
the people of their true and real characters.
The above obfrrvations are made, in conlc
quence of the Tory Palladium and Cen^inel,
calling their,Electioneering Ticket, " The
true Republican Ticket." Anglo Fedcr
alilm, mutt be hard pushed indeed, if it can
not be funported on its own ground.
