One of the Colonial citizens ad
dressed him and exposed, in a fuc

misfortunes of that Colony,' part
of which he had been witness tc —
and of the impatience with which
they waited for the result of the
cpntradtCtory dilcuflion between
Polverel, and Sonthonax, and theic
commiflionerSj before the National
Convention.
The Minister said in answer,
that France had not been exempt
from the persecutions and misfor
tunes which St. Domingo had
fuffered ; but that the reign of ty
ranny was paAed, and that justice,
humanity, and patriot ism, were
only the order of the day.

Yesterday evening arrived the

Capt. Payets, who informs that he
left Valencia on the 2d Apr], at

but, on the contrary, has every
reason to believe that reports of
that nature are erroneous. Ac
counts had reached Valencia from
Barcelonia, on the day before he
failed which mentioned that the
French were marching with all
their force, within 22 miles ot

I ' JOHN AVERY, Jan. Sefy,
parted, that one of the Bermudian priva
teers, which had been among the late dep
redators on American commerce, had come
into the harbour, to water. This roofed
the feelings of many ; and (ome inconsid
erate perlon, iflued a Ihort hand bill, call
ing on the citizens to attend the exhibition,
at the end of Long Wharf, of demanding
a Bermudian privateer. Accordingly a
confidcrable number attended; and about
nine o’clock on Saturday night, at’ai ked
the sloop Speedwell of Halifax,from Ne*.
Providence, plundered and cut her maR,
rigging &c. :o pieces; and to complete the
business, at about 12 o’clock towed her of
into the dream, and set fire to her ; there
by risking the deftrudion of the fhtpping
at anchor, and, in fad, the town of Chariel
town, to which, the tide being flcod, Iha
drifted ; and. where the alarm bell for fire
was rung—However, by the aflive exer
tions of some of the inhabitants, the blaz
ing hull was towed into a cove, and there
burnt to the water’s edge. In dtfmantling
the sloop, some military stores were found,
on board her, whkhlerved toexafperate the
rioters, and perhaps provoked them to the
lengths they finally went. Theie„wehave
ascertained, to be two iron pounders,
two Iwivels, eight mufquets, about forty
charges of fhot.and ijlb, of powder Theie
were taken on board at Halifax, and in
tended merely, as appears by the declara
tion of the Captain, the clearance, and by
the extreme weakness of the crew (no more
than four men) as a defence a gain If the gun
boats, and (mall armed craft, which cruile
about the Bermudian tflands, and are fitted
out at Charleftown. Cspc. Meagher, who
commanded the floop,has declared on oath,
that he never was concerned in anv pri
vateering, or was ever entered in a British
King’s ship, and has, bes re M-. Jvftice
