• FROM ST. DOMINGO.
By the arrival at New-York of the brig Aur
ora, from Port-au-Prince, some additional infor
mation of the surrender of Cape-Francois has
been received.
"The accounts state, that Gen. Deffalines on
the ,22d of Nov. attacked the Cape with all the
a&ive force he could raise, amounting to nearly
25000 men ; that the action was continued with
great obstinacy for 11 hours, when Gen. Roch
'ambeau was under the neceflity of capitulating to
surrender the Cape on the ift Dec. All the
French troops in the out-posts were massacred.
"The people of colour, particularly the wo
men, experienced the most cruel treatment ; hav
ing been put to labour on the public warks, with
negro women to superintend them. The Ame
rican vessels with provisions were compelled to
part with them to the Government, and were
promised payment in coffee at three or four
months.
"Deflalines had given assurances of refped and
protection to the American merchants residing
at Port-au-Prince, -which he had partially ob
served while the. Aurora was there. His officers
however, acted as they thought proper.
"Deffalines is proclaimed captain-general of
the colony; Clairveaux, Christophe, Petion, and
