Thertf seems to be tome disposition at prefect to
excite a belief, that the abandonment of the
flaims ot our merchants for loffe by french f,o
lotions is changeable on the prelent admiqitfra
lion. How ttaudsthe matter of tall ? The 2d ar
ticle of the French convention reads thus :— _-
“ The Handlers phnipotentiary ot tie two par
ties not being able to agree at present rzfp< Cling
the treaty of alliance of 6th I'eb. 1778, the treaty
of amity and commerce of the tame date, and the
Convention' of 4th November, 1788, nor upon the
indemnities mutually due or claimed ; the parties
will negotiate further on these ipbjttts at a con
venient time and until they may ha e agreed tip
on these points, the (aid treaties and convention
shall have no operation and the relation ot the
two countries shall be regulated aS follows, &c.
Article 5, “ The debts contrasted by one of the
two nations with individual ot the other, or b,
the individuals of one with the individuals ot the
other, shall be paid, or the payment may be pro
fecuted in the fame manner as it there had been
ho ndfuoderdanding between the two States. But
this cHufe fell not extend to indemnities claimed
on account of captures or confiscations."
The Se^te retufed to advite and consent to the
ratification of the treaty nnlefs the 2d article above
recited was frock out; to this ,Prrhdent Adams
agreed, and the treaty was so ratified by him Feb,
18th, 1861. The votes of the Senate, as published
in tile newspapers at that time, were for dialing

Advices from St. Domingo of the 4th of March
Rate, that the fortified canip of Touiffaint had
been carried, after a moftdefperate and fang binary
B (Fault. It was defended by 36 pieces of cannon,
and naturally firong. It was coufidered as ini
pregnable ; but nothing could uithhand the'ar
dour and intrepidi'v of the heroes of Italy.
Thrice they advanced againtt this well defended
entrenchment: and thrice were they repaired.
Animated however by their former hard earned
)aurcl%,and headed by general Le Clerc, victory
da< tied upon their efforts, and they planted their
flandurds amidff the heaps of Laoghtered negroes.
This victory, though dearly bought, is of much
importance, as the terrified negroes have fled in
every direction ; nor will the influence of Tourf
faint have any effect in rallying them again to the
hazard o! detraction. The war may be considered
as really finished,tho'yet nominally in exigence."

" We are very badly accomnlddated here, until
the houses are rebuilt, several of which have alrea
dy been erected. The army of the General in
Chief, 1/4 here, has been out these fifteen days;
he probably is at Port-all Prince by this time.
The following is the actual date of the Colony, as
far as 1 can learn :—The Cape, Port-de-Paix, Go
naives, St. Mirks, and Larcahaye, burnt ; Fort-
Dauphin and Portau-Prince, conquered without
accident ; the Mole, Anx-Cayes. Jeremie, Jacque

heads are proferioed. Toe latter, after having
nr^cred all the whites at Leogane, wanted to
capitulate ; but it has been refufed to treat with
him. fouffaint, it is said, has caused all the
whites at Gonaives, and even Americans, to be
killed. M-iurepas, alter burning Port-rie-Paix,
forrendered liimfelt, and has given up all the

coming out of the Cape, drove before him ail the
inhabitants he could collect, federal of wlwm have

of the town is (till absent Home were massacred,
and others have been burnt in a church. Paul
Lonvertore, Touffiint's brother; has given op San

The follo-wing is a trarfation, from a French pa
• per, of the gratitude oefawed by Touifaint on his
yellow men,for their affijiance in conducting hit
booty to a remote part of the country and con
cealing it.
AT the moment when Totii/Tant Louvertore
was forced to leave the Cape, he took particular
care to take with him, all the gold coin then in
the national treasury, amounting tp about one
and a halfmillion of dollars. This treasure he had
firtt conveyed through fume of the white inhabi
tants nearly >5 miles from the Cape, where he
geueroufly dismissed the fame, and trufled his boo
ty ro 15 of his black brethren, whom he, himfelf
only conducted into the mountains ; and having
found a convenient place, he made them dig a
hole, in which he deposited his riches. After this
he difebarged his carriers, under a great many ob
ligations, ordered them to apt-ear at the camp to
ie rewarded ; and what reward did this black hy
• pocrite give to his workmen ?—Every human
heart mutt shudder to hear— 4 hen these poor tel
lows arrived at the camp, they were ordered to
form a final! circle, and Touffaiot commanded, in
cool blood, a parcel of soldiers with loaded musk
ets to Hand in a half moon round them——gave
the word fjre, and that they fouft die for high
treason, which vias executed.
No alteration had taken place in tfe political
affairs of Guadaloupe up to March 10.
A number 6f ferions well-disposed Blacks, in
Boflon, are forming themfclves into a society, tor

Extra& from a gazette publiftied at Port. R

At the above date, the whole of the fbtith of

without any refinance, and remained untouched.

SIR, &
IN the course of a long; honorable and uleful
life your love for mankind and their rights, your
wisdom to discern, firmness to pnrfue and foiieit
,-ode to promote the true interefi of the American
nation, have been eminently confp ; cnous, and
while such virtues and talents have attracted our
admiration and eflaem, they would not tail to in
spire a refpelt for, and confidence in your admin
iitration.
In fuperintemling the affairs of the United A
merica and forwarding the v etfare of your name
rous coffitituents, we are fully aflufed that this
Territory frill occupy a due proportion of your
cares, and off all proper occations, will receive the
fullering flipport ofthe general government.
No part of the United States, sis, pofli ffesinore
local advantages than this dillritt, her advance
merit to prosperity promises to be speedy and
certain. We acknowledge with gratitude, that
under your paternal auspices onr profpe its for
political happiness have greatly brightened, and
we anticipate with foddeft expectation the arri
ml of a period when this Territory, nurture in
age, strong jn population, and ritiiin resources
will add hill greater fecuriry and consequence to
the American Union ; and we flatter ourselves,
that her present and future Legislators, will re
main no lets zealous and firm in the support of
virtuous rules and virtuous measures, that in ab
-Itract adherence to constitutional provisions and
those Republican principles, which the patriots of
1776 had the goodness to conceive, the boidnefs to
avow and the fortitude to maintain.
Mirs. Wells, ihlhaufe, Chipmah,and D. Fofler,

The above is taken from the official return of
the whole duties aridng on Carriages in the differ
ent dates ; agreeable to the document transmitt
ed to Controls by the Secretary of the Treasury,
under rhe date of the 2ilt December lad. We
have thought it necefl' rt ry to publish it at ,this time
to counter aa the misrepresentation, which appear
in the tory papers. Tory are conllaritly repre
f-nti,g that the Southern people, particularly the
Virginians, ride in their coaches, and that the tax
on Carriages, bears much harder on them, than
on the people of the New-Engiand Stated-For
that reason they are determined to have that tax
abbruhed.—But what is r tire t it ? Look at the a
bove date rreut, you will fee it proves all
they have fair! on that fuhfr.lt to be ab
ibinr^y falfe.-—For, notwithstanding Virginia
containSa much greater number of inhabitants
titan airy other date in the union, yet you will
will observe Mafichufetis pays Dolls. 395 34
more of the carriage tax than Virginia. And e
ven this plain flare of Connecticut pays rcore of
the carriage tax in proportion to the number ot
its inhabitants, than what they style the proud,
luxurious, domineering Virginia.
These are falls not to be denied—'very man
may make the calculations for himfelf.
Another official documents exhibits, "a date
m'en'r of the dntieg arising on spirits du lied dor
iug the rear ending on the gift December, 1800."
Which makes the amount of duties ariliug there
from Dolls. 139,839 14 Os which the five New-
England dates pay Dobs. 125,501 98.
And the eleven States South ot Connecticut pay
only. Dolls. 14.337 16.
Which is but a little mote than one ninth pirt
as much as the New-Eoglanri ftatls pay.
Yet the tor? papers do deceive you, cry oht
that the internal revenue is to be abolished, be
cause the Southern people have to pay 4t ; and
the whote burthens and expenses of government
are tb be Wholly on the Northern ftafes.
What degree of credit i<to be wholly on the
Nothern dates.
What degree of credit is to be given to filch de
claration?, made in the face of official statements,
we will leave every candid man to judge.
