The Municipality of Amsterdam have published
this day, that the remainder of the Ruffian army

i(h officers who are prisoners there, wrote the fol
(' lowing letter to citizen Lefpenafle, commandant
of that place :--" We are surprised, fir, that you
' have put us in the citadel, at the fame time that
you allow the Ruffian officers to reside with the
citizens. Webeg you to grant us the fame indul

to recide with the citizens-—! do my felf the hon>
or to inform you, that £ refyeCt the unfortunate,
and know how to honor courage. As prisoners
of war, I will grant you every 'indulgence that the

Further Particulars of the Death of General
6 WASHINGTON.
Some time in the night of Friday, the toth lrtft.
having been exposed to a rain on the preceding
day,General WASHINGTON was atta#ed with
an inflamatory affection of the upper part of the
wind pipe, called in the technical language Cynache
T[oc^alij. The disease commenced.WitkiYte.
lent ague, accompanied with feme pain in the
upper and fore part of the throat, a sense o£ftri&-t
ure in the fame part, a cough, and a difficult, ,
rather than a painful deglutition, which were foqn
fuiceeded by a fever & a quick and laborious ref
piratioh. The necessity of bloodletting suggest
ing itfelf to the General, he precured a bleeder in
the neighbourhood, who took from his arm in. the
night i2or 14 ounces of blood. He could not by
any means be prevailed on by the family to fend
for the attendingPhylican tiH the following morn
ing, who arrived at Mount Vernon at about ra 0
clock on Saturday. Uncovering the case to be
highly alarming, and forefeeink the fatal tendency
of the difeale, two confnking phyficahs were im
mecßately sent for, who arrived, one at half after
three, and the other at 4 o'clock in the afternoon ;
in the mean time wete empigyedtwp pretty copi
ous bleedings, a blitter applied,two moderate dos
es of calomel were given, and ah injection was ad
ministered, whicli operated oh the lower intest
ines, but all without any perceptible advantage,
the refoiration becoming fhll more difficult and
didreffing. Upon the' arrival of the firft of the
confuting Physicians, it was agreed, as there was
yet no signs of accumulation injthe bronchial ves
sels ofthe lungs to try the refute of another bleed
ing, when about 31 ounces of blood were drawn,
Without the smallest apparent alleviation of the
disease. Vapours of vinegar and water were fre
quently enhaled, two grains of calomel were giv
en focceeded by repeated doses of emetic tartar,
amounting in all to 5 or 6 grains, with no other
effect than a copious difeharge from the bowels,—
The power of life seemed now manrteftly yield
' inz to the force of the disorder ; bliflers were ap
plied to the extremeties, together with a cata
nlafin of bran and vinegar to the throat. Speak
ing, which was painful from the beginning, now
tome almost impracticable ; respiration tome
more and more contrasted 2nd imperfect, till halt

Extra# from the regifler of the Deliberations atSt.
Domingo.
The agency of the executive considering that
by the firft article of the 14 Thermidor, 7th year,
to facilitate the commerce of St Domingo, differ
ent objects of importation were summarily men
tipned as free,and that by the 12th article all other
merchandize were obliged to pay 12 1-2 per cent.
That the American consul-general having de
manded of the agency, a diminution of the duties
as being too burthenfome, and the agency having
examined the affair, it has decreed as follows :
Art. I. The duties on importations by neutrals,
is reduced to 10 per. cept. payable in money on
the departure of the veflel. _
2 In other refpeds, that nothing be altered from
the former decree.,
The prefen, decree shall be addressed to the ex
ecutive to meet its approbation, and shall be exe
cuted in the colony in each department from the
date of its publication. It shall be printed,read and
published, addressed to the civil and military au
thorities, and transcribed on the registers of the
administrative and judiciary bodies.

session of his intelleft—when he expired without
a flruggle. !\
He was fully impressed at the beginning of bis
complaint as. well as through every succeeding
stage of it, that its conclusion would be mortal ;.
submitting to the feveral'exertions made for his re
covery rather as a duty, than from any expecta
tion of their efficacy. He considered the opera
tion of death upon his system as coeval with
the disease ; and several hours before his death, af
ter repeated efforts to be understood, facceeded in
expressing a desire that he might be permitted to
die without further interruption.
During the short period of his illness, he econo
mized his time, in the arrangement of fucb few
concerns as required his attention, with the ut
inott serenity ; and anticipated his approaching
diffoltition with every demonstration of that equa
nimity for which his whole life has been so uni
formly and singularly conspicuous.
