Her absence must deplore.
See hostile datum rqbs the land,
And strips the drooping trees;
Lo! how they moulder from her hand,
^\ H me ! how faft the summer Hies,
And draw her fleeces on ; „ .^
Hark ! how the Twains ihe summer wail,
And leaves the hapless ffiore;
Where we, beneath the low'ring Ikies,
And mourn the season gone.,
No more the morn ffiall blulhing rife,
And pearly dews exhale; fy
No more (hall gild the eaftero (kies,
Reludant drop along;
Ah! turn departing summer back,
Nor chear the bleating vale ;
But mucky, gloomy, low'ring, black,
Restore the rural song.
But hence vaid w'^lh, falfe hope away !
Will (he obey the Twain ?
She Hies to hear some nobler lat,
Oa some more happy plain.
Or, wherefore murmur 'caufe (he flies,
And fall at ev'ry breeze.
Stern hoary winter will prevail,
Or pine at her depart ? ,
Soon ihe again more bright fh^ll rife.
And cheer each rural heart."

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
ONE hundred thousand Blacks have
revolted, in the northern part of
the island ; more than two hundred su
gar plantations are burnt : The mailers
murdered, and the few women whose
lives have been spared are in a fiate of
captivity worse than death itfelf; already
the negroes have reached the mountains :
Fire and th? sword afeend with them :
an immense numberof coffee plantations
have a ! ike fallen a prey to the flames.
DeAred/on hovers over those which yet
remain : From every quarter, women,
children, old men, escaped from the ge
neral daughter, abandon their places of
concealment, and fly to the (hips, as the
only secure refuge remaining.
Too feeble to refill this torrent, we
have requested assistance from the neigh
bouring ((ladders : If they should arrive
soon enough to prevent our utter anni
hilation, they will not restore the source
of our wealth ; it is dried up forever !
We (hall not tell you what has been
the productive cause of our calamities ;
to you ; it must be Efficiently known :
What we have to fay to you is, that if
we mull perish, our last looks (hall still
be turned towards France; our expiring
prayers (hall be fcr her.

YOUR faithful fubjeds of St. Domin
go, present to the belt of Kings,the
diltrefbful picture of : the calamities,
which they endure. The rebellion of
their slaves, is perhaps about to annihi
late forever this interesting part of the em
pire ; already the northern province is
no more than avast heap of alhes : the
two other parts of the Island beginning to
experience the fame fate : The earth is
drenched in the blood of those who had
fertilized it by the sweat of their brows:
such are the conferences of the def
tr^aiye principles,which have put amfs
into the hands of our slaves.
Destitute offorce, to refill the uncoun
ted numbers of our enemies, we have
implored the attiftance of Spain, and of
the other neighbouringiflanders ; hither
to they have confined themselves to the
defence of tbeir own territory, or in tak
ing precautions against an event similar
to that of which we are the vidims.

WE will not afflict yOur heart, with
a detail of the misfortunes with
which we are oppressed. Your Excel
lency mill be informed by the return of
the Daphne, and of the Alert, of the dis
astrous news', St. Domingo, a prey to
the flames, and to the affamnating wea
pons of the negroes in rebellion, will
soon present nothing but an immense
heap of ruins, nothing but avast bury
i°g ground: From the firft beginning
of the fire, we called our neighbours td
our assistance.
The English alone have exertions in
our favour ; they have ffiared with us
the feeble means they had, to defend
their possessions from an evil, which may
become general, by the zealous meafu res
which the ,bjantbro,ijh industriously
purfoe for the propagation of their
