LIBERTY. EQUALITY. IN THE NAME OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.
A PROCLAMATION.
Leger-Felicite Sonthonax, Julien Raimond, Marce-Antoine Alexis Girard, Pierre-George Leblanc, and Philippe Rofe Roume, Commissaries delegated by the French Convention, to the Windward Islands.
To all the Citizens of the Colony, and to all those who compose the Land and Sea forces, destined to its defence.
CITIZENS,
AFTER so many storms and critical emergencies, inseparable concomitants of a Revolution, France enjoys at last a Constitution worthy of a people who knows how to value liberty.
Already, under a truly Republican Government, the French people begin to rest from their long and arduous toil, and to enjoy the happy effects of the liberty which they have attained. Already the Government directs its solicititudes towards those objects which are to preserve the rights, and encrease the happiness of the people.
Firmly resolved to cause the Constitution to be executed, the Executive Directory is constantly occupied in searching out means to have it established in all parts of the Republic.
That Constitution states, Article 156, that the Legislative Body can authorize the Directory to send into all the French Colonies, as the emergency of the case may require, one or more particular Agents, whom it will appoint for a limited time.
Those agents are to exercise the same functions as the Directory, and be under its orders.
The 6th Article of the Constitution states, that the French colonies are inseparable parts of the Republic, and submitted to the same Constitutional law.
It is particularly for the execution of that article, that we have received from the Government the honorable mission entrusted to us; and at the same time; to let you know all the means you ought to employ to preserve liberty and equality, which are the fundamental laws of that Constitution.
You will, undoubtedly, believe your old and sincere friends; undoubtedly you will listen to philanthropists, who have spontaneously devoted themselves to almost certain death, in order to vindicate your rights. Bound by the same principles, they propose to themselves only one end—that of leading you to the true happiness, in preserving among you liberty & equality.
Citizens! rally then at the voice of the delegates of the Republic, since it is in her name, and for your dearest interests, that they are going to address you.
The ancient Government of the Colonies had distinguished three different classes—the whites, the colored people, and the slaves. To those different classes, now united and honored with the name of French citizens, we are going to speak alternately. We shall first address that portion of the people of the Colony, which has most suffered under the tyrannic order which has been abolished, and we shall say to them—“By the Republican Constitution which the French nation has just adopted, you have recovered your primitive rights; but you must know the proper means to preserve them without trouble, and to transmit them without interruption to your remotest posterity.” Those ships, the warriors whom they bring to out all those formidable preparations are designed against the English, who are the most cruel enemies of our liberty! They dare to indulge the hope of framing new chains for you. See those blood-thirsty tyrants, bending still your brethren under their homicidal whips.
We cannot suffer any longer to dismal an object, join the forces which France sends you; expel from the territory of the French Republic, those tyrants of mankind; pursue them even to their haunts, and destroy the last of them. What, is it not incumbent upon you to revenge your brethren whom they kept fettered in the surrounding Islands! Yes, citizens, every thing ought to impress you with an implacable hatred for those tyrants whose most lucrative trade is of reducing you to slavery, misery and death. What can withhold your vengeance? Rush on that impious race—make it disappear from that sacred spot, which too long, hath been the theatre of its crimes and depredations.
The Republic has not only provided you with means to destroy your most cruel enemies, but has farther testified her parental solicitude, in indicating and facilitating to you such means as can only consolidate your reconquered liberty.
Those means, citizens, you shall find in labour and instruction, and in the practice of moral and civil virtues.
Labour and instruction, citizens, are necessary to the preservation of the people, and the Constitution imposes them as a duty upon all citizens. The
15th article of the second title, contains these words:
“Young men cannot be inscribed in the civic register, if they do not prove that they can read, write, and follow a mechanical branch of business.”—That clause, citizens, can and ought to take place only agreeably to the Constitution, after the first day of the twelfth year of the Republic.
The manual operations of agriculture belong to the mechanic arts.
Yes; labour, and agriculture particularly, is absolutely necessary to him who wishes to preserve his rights, and enjoy his liberty. Through labour we procure the necessary things to our existence and enjoyment through labour only, we can preserve our liberty.—Woe to the people who neglect labour, such people cannot fail becoming slaves to an active nation. Never forget, that the English, your neighbours, are very active, and that they may rivet your chains once more, should you ever forsake labour. Ah! has not a dreadful and too long experience taught you that truth? Had your ancestors, the inhabitants of Africa, devoted themselves to the culture of their fruitful lands, they most assuredly would not have debased themselves by reciprocal bloody wars, of which greedy Europeans have availed themselves to reduce them to the most intolerable and degrading slavery. What remains for you to do, in order to avoid all misfortunes which are inseparable concomitants of idleness?—Nothing but to devote yourselves to the culture of the rich productions of the Colony. You inhabit! Many of you have been in France; they will tell you that the people are there constantly occupied at useful labors, and agriculture in particular. Imitate that active people who adopts you as her brethren, & you will establish, by that means, a trade of exchange with them which will cement and strengthen your brotherly relations.
Instruction is as useful to you as labor; but if you will transmit your rights to your children, but if you will learn how to fulfil the duties of good citizens; finally, by instruction you will attain that degree of morality which distinguishes the civilized from the savage man, the honest from the perverse citizen.
The Government will omit nothing to attain an object so interesting and so worthy of its solicitude. Public schools will be established throughout all the Colonies; your children shall there receive instruction, imbibe a taste for labor and morals, which are to accomplish their full regeneration.—The Republic will extend further her cares for your children, for she wishes that a certain number of those who shall have produced a greater disposition and zeal for instruction, be sent to France, with the consent of their parents, there to study in a more perfect degree those sciences of arts to which they may have shown a more decided inclination.
The same resources are likewise offered to the children of the whites and of the colored people; for the primary schools, which will be established, will be open to all individuals born in the Colony, of whatever color they may be. ALL MEN ARE EQUAL IN RIGHTS.
An irreproachable probity is considered by the Constitution as so useful to citizens, that when they are punished by law, they lose for a while their political rights. It is therefore necessary that the man who wishes to preserve his liberty without interruption, should, to labour and instruction, add morals, which are absolutely necessary to the preservation of a social state. From what you have just now read, you will no more doubt of the intention of the Government to maintain you in the inalienable rights of your liberty.
To you, citizens, whom a barbarous custom had made formerly proprietors of slaves; we shall observe, that in consequence only of the most strange subversion of what is known under the name of justice and humanity, the most sacred rights of man had been forsaken in the former order of things—which allowed men to be reduced to the most insufferable and abject slavery; we shall tell you that a state so contrary to nature, though apparently favorable to your interests, was of too violent a nature to last long. How could the master shake off the thoughts of the dangers with which he was incessantly threatened? Does not the experience of ages and nations, transmitted by history, inform us, that tyranny has always fallen a victim to its own crimes. Undoubtedly, six hundred thousand slaves, unjustly and cruelly tortured, in almost every instant of their lives, could not afford a great degree of security to the small number of their masters. Surrounded with foes, tormented with mistrust and fear, what could be the enjoyment of masters? They were most assuredly disturbed by the most cruel enormities. Add to this the continual fear they labored under to see themselves utterly ruined by that mortality which is the inevitable consequence of the manner in which the blacks were treated in the Colonies.
Instead of that violent state in which lingered the late proprietors of slaves, li-
berty and equality which flow from the Constitution, offer to them nothing but true enjoyments, and perfect security to their lives and fortunes. Surrounded with free and peaceable husbandmen, who will cultivate the lands for a just salary, the owner will dread no more the ray of the revolted slave; he will live among those men as among his own children; he will assist their activity with his knowledge. Their posterity will no more decline, but rather increase in proportion to the suffering cares paid to them; and that increase of population, as it will give more hands to agriculture, will improve more and more the estate of the owner, and procure him enjoyments more sweet, and gratifications more real, as they will not be acquired at the expence of the happiness, as they will not be the shameful price of the tears and the blood of their equals. As, by the new system, the proprietor of lands will dread no more those sudden changes of fortune, he will be able to increase still more his enjoyments, and give a greater salubrity to his possessions, by those rural ornaments which have made France so delicious a spot. The land-holders in the Colonies will also enjoy all that advantage over the inhabitants of France, which are to be derived from so beautiful a climate, and the high price of the natural productions of the country.
The Republic, therefore, has a right to expect that the misfortunes which have attended the revolution, will have the happy effect of making the planters wiser than they were; the Republic has a right to expect, that, recovered from their errors, occasioned by a long habit, they will resume principles of eternal justice; that influenced by the love of their country, they will concur with all their might, in the restoration of the order and prosperity of the colony, and that they will assist, with as much eagerness as zeal, the wife and humane views of the government.
In addressing those formerly distinguished by whites and people of colour without possessions, we should say to them, that in a free state, that all hands ought to be employed; that every one ought to make a choice of a kind of labour which, in concurring to the general welfare, would procure to the labourer not only existence; but the conveniences of life; that the colonial system being altered, they must no more establish their hopes of fortune on SLAVERY, for it is FOREVER ABOLISHED on the whole territory of France. Let every one therefore, make the best of his industry, devote himself to agriculture. Let not any ill founded shame keep him in inactivity, which is as dangerous to himself as it is ruinous to the Commonwealth.
Let him be convinced, that no occupation debases man; let him know that with the wisest people of antiquity, agriculture was considered as the first of all occupations. Let them therefore renounce that state of vagrancy which the laws of the republic will punish.
In fine, we would repeat to them that all the inhabitants of the colony from this instant, will form but one class, every citizen will have the same rights, and enjoy the same advantages—and that THE REPUBLIC ESTABLISHES NO OTHER DISTINCTIONS AMONG MEN, THAN THOSE OF VIRTUE AND VICE, OF TALENTS AND IGNORANCE.
In the name of the Republic—in the name of humanity—in the name of the sacred love of country, we invite all citizens to concur with us in the restoration of order, and agriculture: we invite them to forget their respective wrongs and quarrels; to make it now their sole business to expel the enemies of the Republic, from the territory they have invaded, and then to repair the evils and devastations which have been occasioned by hatred, passion and civil war.
Constituted authorities will be established throughout the whole colony, agreeably to the Constitution; every thing will be disposed to promote the good of the people: We invite them, therefore, to inform us of all reclamations they have to make, and the means of improvement which they may think most likely to contribute to the public happiness. They will find in the delegates of the Republic, the greatest eagerness to favour their efforts, and to adopt with unbounded zeal, whatever may encrease the safety and prosperity of the colony.
This proclamation is to be printed, published, and posted up, wherever it will be necessary, inscribed in the registers of administrative and judiciary bodies; sent to the major-generals, the commanders of the ships of the republic.

To the Commission has directed me, citizens, to transmit to you the Proclamation they have thought necessary to address to all the citizens of the Colony upon their arrival.

(Signed) PASCAL, Sec'y General.
BALTIMORE, May 30.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at the isle of St. Thomas, dated April 26th, to the Printers of the Maryland Journal.
“Since writing you last by Charleston, we have left Martinico, and came to this place. At our leaving St. Pierre's, some small armed vessels arrived there from Barbadoes with troops. They informed us that the fleet and troops had sailed from Barbadoes in company with them, going to attack St. Lucie, and that they had deferred the siege of Guadalupe until October. It was said that their whole force consisted of 30,000 men, on their leaving Barbadoes, and that 10,000 of them were Hessians. On our leaving St. Pierre's, I was obliged to give a bond for two thousand pounds, not to go to any French port under two months. “Horrid markets throughout the W. Indies at present!” Salt provisions are not allowed to be landed in Martinico by the Americans.—They are now offering their beef here at 11 dollars, their flour at 13, pork at 15, and “cannot sell any thing.” There are several vessels here from Surinam with their outward bound cargoes on board, running down to leeward. The coast of Surinam is lined at present with British armed vessels, determined to seize all that they fall in with from the Dutch settlements.
The judge of the Court of Admiralty at Tortola, exceeds judge Green of Bermuda, in his adjudications. He makes a point to condemn every thing that is carried in. I dined yesterday with five American Masters, who have had their vessels condemned there lately. The British sloop of war called the Bull Dog, of 18 guns, brought us to, and boarded us off St. Thomas, but dismissed us. This said Bull Dog is stationed off the mouth of St. Thomas to intercept all vessels running down from the Dutch coasts. She boards every thing that is bound here, and has sent in a great many prizes to Tortola.
Three of the men belonging to the ship Ardent of Baltimore, were pressed at St. Pierre, by the Amiable frigate, Capt. Davers. It being Sunday, they were on shore on liberty, when the Captain of the Amiable ordered his crew to take these men in the fleet and bring them on board of his own ship which they did. The men made some resistance and the frigate's crew beat them most horribly.
When Capt. Smith of the Ardent, went to demand his men pressed on board the Amiable, and shewed their protections to the Captain, the latter said if he did not go away, he should suffer likewise, called him a damned rascal, and said he would put him in gaol like a vagrant. One of the barge men came up behind, and struck him on the head, so that he fell. He then went to the Governor's Secretary, as the Governor had that day left the island, but got little satisfaction from him, Capt. Smith asked what right they had to drag free Americans into their service, and said it was an infamous piece of business, to treat them like gally slaves. The other answered that he should not speak in that way, when he came to ask a favor, Capt. Smith said that he was only demanding a right.—The secretary then ordered him out of the house.
BOSTON, June 13.
An American Captain lately being called to the bar in the island of Bermuda, to swear concerning the property on board his vessel desired judge Green to let him swear on a particular text.—He then laid his hand upon the first verse of the 4th Psalm—“Judge me oh God, and plead my cause against the ungodly nation: oh deliver me from an ungodly and unjust man.” The conscientious judge, stricken with the pertinacy of the point, released his vessel.
It is with regret we learn, that THE PRESIDENT of the United States, will decline being a Candidate for that important office, at the next election. It behoves, therefore, the citizens of the United States, that none but Federal Electors be appointed at the next choice.
From NEW-YORK. June 5.
The elections throughout the State,
have terminated federally. In this city, notwithstanding all the cabal of Livingston, Kettleas, and Co. the Federal ticket has carried it hollow. This city and county send thirteen members to the Assembly, and Four to the Senate. On the Senate list, the majority in favor of Federalism, is 1534. You may rely on the genuineness of our Legislature, and Executive, and may safely count on twelve votes for your worthy fellow-citizen, JOHN ADAMS, as President of the United States, in case THE PRESIDENT is not a candidate.
FROM CADIZ,
We have accounts to the 19th April. At that time Richery's squadron lay there; and Admiral Mann was cruising off the bay. The Spaniards were pressing very fast to man their navy.
One, of many, of the fatal effects of the Slave Trade. The Schooner friends Adventure, Capt. Stewart, of Savannah, lying at the mouth of the river Gambia, had 72 slaves on board; about the 15th Feb. while the Captain and part of the crew were ashore, the slaves rose, killed two of the people, run the Schooner ashore, where she was lost, and escaped.

Foreign Intelligence.
HAMBURG, April 15.
Several addresses have been presented to his majesty the Emperor, by a number of American citizens residing in different parts of Europe, praying in the name of their country, for the liberation of the Marquis LA FAYETTE.
LONDON, April 20.
Per the ALLIANCE, Capt. WOOD, arrived at New-York.
Capture of Sir Sydney Smith.
Sir SIDNEY SMITH, of the Diamond frigate has been captured in Havre harbour by the French—The following particulars, are from an officer of the frigate, dated OFF BRIGHTON.
"On the 18th inst. in the afternoon, Sir SIDNEY SMITH ordered five boats belonging to the ships of his squadron to be manned, and he himself embarked on board one of them, to reconnoitre the harbour of Havre de Grace, and to obtain certain information which he wanted to procure. In this service, after a smart engagement, he captured a French lugger of 8 guns, on board of which Sir SIDNEY SMITH went. It falling a calm soon after, and a flood tide, Sir SIDNEY could not get out to sea; and accordingly dropped anchor in Havre Roads. After dark, one of the French prisoners took an opportunity to cut the cable of the lugger, on which the officer up the harbour into the mouth of the river Seine. On the morning of the 19th the lugger was attacked by a French brig of 14 guns, and five gun boats, which the Governor had sent out. An engagement of 40 minutes ensued, when Sir SIDNEY SMITH was obliged to strike to this superior force. Himself, his officers and men, to the number of 32, were sent on shore at Havre."
"The officers on board the Diamond frigate, on hearing of the capture of Sir SIDNEY SMITH, sent a flag of truce into Havre, to enquire whether he was wounded; hoping he would be treated kindly. To this the Governor of Havre, returned for answer, that Sir SIDNEY was well, and would be treated with humanity."
"We are happy to add, that only four British seamen were killed, and one officer and six seamen slightly wounded."
"The seamen were immediately thrown into prison on their landing; and Sir SIDNEY underwent a long examination before the French Commandant, after which he was ordered to be conveyed under a strong escort, to Paris."
Capture of French Convoy.
APRIL 23.
By the arrival of the Argo, of 44 guns, one of Sir Edward Pellew's squadron, at Plymouth, intelligence is brought of the capture of La Unite French frigate, of 40 guns, by the Concorde of 36 guns, Capt. Hunt, likewise one of Sir Edward's squadron, after a severe action in which the enemy had 36 men killed and wounded—but happily from superior skill and management, not a single man was either killed or wounded on board the British ship. Extract of a letter from on board the La Pomegranate, at sea, April 7, 1796.
"I take the liberty of again acquainting you with our success, having captured close Cameth bay, the entrance of Brell, with the Boats of the squadron."
"One brig Le Marie of St. Maloes, 150 tons wheat; ditto, same unknown, 100 do. flour; ditto, ditto, 120 ditto wheat; one sloop ditto, 70 ditto wheat, which are sent into Falmouth."
"Also one brig, name unknown, 90 tons, being leaky, scuttled and sunk her—loaded with wine and wood."
"The enemy must feel the want of the corn and flour very much, as we are given to understand the allowance for the navy and army has been considerably reduced, in consequence of the scarcity of grain at present in France."
"We detained also a ship showing American colours, from the Mauritius, loaded with cotton, coffee, sugar, indigo and pepper, and several French passengers on board, and was steering for L'Orient—Gave us a long chase and used every method by trimming ship to get away. We trust she will be condemned, as the property must be French. She failed from France, (L'Orient) last year with a cargo of wine and brandy, for the Municipality at the Mauritius, and was returning with produce of that island."
"The aforementioned vessels made 16 in number taken from the French Republic by this squadron, within one month; a proof of vigilance and good fortune."
Off Ushant, April 16, 1796.
"Since writing the above, we have captured a brig loaded with salt; and Le Robuste National Corvette ship, of 22 guns, and 145 men, after a long chase, the ship sailing remarkably well."
Total Capture of Dutch settlements in India.
Horse Guards, April 17, 1796.
A letter, of which the following is an extract, dated Calcutta, Dec. 15, 1795, has been received by the Right Hon. Henry Dundas, one of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, from Major-General Sir Robert Abercrombie, K. B., Commander in Chief of his Majesty's and the East India Company's forces in Bengal.
"I have the honor to inform you that Major PETRE, soon after the surrender of Cochin, detached a force against the Dutch fort of Quilon, and their factories of Porca and Quilon, in the Travancore country. They were delivered up without resistance; and we are now in possession of all their settlements on the continent of India."
PHILADELPHIA, June 8.
Yesterday arrived the brig Sophia, Capt.
Grandon, in the service of the United States, 40 days, from Lisbon. In the Sophia, came passenger Capt. RICHARD O'BRIEN, who was 12 years in captivity at Algiers.
We are informed that Capt. O'BRIEN has brought dispatches from Col. HUMPHREYS, to the Executive of the United States, relative to the prisoners at Algiers.
CAUTION to Merchants and other Citizens of the United States.
THE advices received by Capt. O'Brien, from Colonel Humphreys, at Lisbon, shew that the temporary obstacles to a fulfilment of the stipulations on the part of the United States, with the Dey and Regency of Algiers, are not yet removed. The treaty itself being put in jeopardy, by these unexpected delays, the safety of American vessels entering the Mediterranean, has become extremely precarious. It should also be remembered, that no treaty has ever yet been made between the United States and the governments of Tunis and Tripoli, Merchants and other citizens of the United States, will hence see the hazard to which they will expose their property and the liberty of their fellow-citizens, by engaging, in the present state of things, in commerce, within the Straits of Gibraltar.
TIMOTHY PICKERING, Secretary of State. Department of State, June 8th, 1796.
St. JOHN'S, (Antigua) May 9, 1796.
Extract of a letter from Martinique, dated the 5th inst.
"I am happy to acquaint you that St. Lucia is in a few days likely to be reduced—the enemy at present hold nothing but Morne Fortune and Pidgeon Island, in the former, the whole of their greatest force is concentrated, and the garrison of the latter must immediately capitulate for want of water and provisions—Every thing is conducted with the greatest zeal and energy, and the conquest hitherto made with less effusion of blood than could have been expected—Our officers indeed have suffered much, among the number, I am sorry to reckon poor Colonel Malcolm, who a few nights ago, fell covered with wounds—after having carried two redoubts in the neighborhood of Morne Fortune, he was advancing to the third with his own Black Rangers, and part of the 42d regiment—on a near approach to the enemy, his own corps refused to charge, when he stopt forward, exhorting and entreating them to do their duty and follow him—and that moment he received a ball through the body but still remained on the field, exhorting his men to come on, when his voice was discovered by the enemy, who all took particular aim at him, and received the musquetry of the whole party in his face, and fell immediately. It is impossible to say how much he is admired and lamented."
"Admiral Pole with 5 or 6000 troops are arrived—The troops remain at Barbadoes—the admiral has joined Sir Hugh Christian."
"It is said that Victor Hughes is in Morne Fortune."
MAY 16.
Six hundred troops, part of the forces sent to Demarara, after effecting their purpose, in that island, are arrived at Grenada as a reinforcement to our army.
The gun and mortar batteries which are erected against Morne Fortune in the Island of St. Lucia, were opened yesterday, and so completely surround that fortress, that we may naturally hope and expect that it will be reduced in a few days.
A republican officer, and several privates, a few days ago, deserted to the English in St. Lucia—the officer gave information of Morne Fortune being under mined, and that it was the determination of the besieged to blow up the hill as soon as they found all further resistance vain; as a proof of what the officer said he shewed one of the pipes by which water was conveyed to the hill, which was immediately cut and turned another way. He further informed that with the assistance of six men, he would blow up the hill, but this offer was rejected by the general.
The women in Morne Fortune are armed like the men.
LEXINGTON, May 3.
An extract of a letter from an Officer now at Fort Hamilton to the Editor, dated April 18, says, "We are making the utmost exertions to get forward the ordnance and supplies for the army, to take possession of the Western Posts; six boats yesterday, and five this day have proceeded to the head of the navigation, and seven more are expected to proceed tomorrow."
BALTIMORE, May 21.
Yesterday arrived sloop Sarah Ann, of Frederickburgh, John Taylor, master, 14 days from Gonaives.
Capt Taylor informs, that the French fleet positively arrived at Cape Francois the 19th inst. with 37,000 men; and that an express was immediately detached from that place, with official accounts, which reached Gonaives the 14th, and was published in the streets by order of General Toussaint.
NEW-YORK, JUNE 8.
Yesterday the ship Juno, Capt. Gardner, arrived at this port, in 43 days from Dublin. Capt. Gardner bro't Dublin papers to April 25 inclusive.—No account yet of the commencement of hostilities. Capt. Gardner informs, that the citizens of Dublin are anxious for peace, and that it was reported, when he failed, that the correspondence between Messrs. Wickham and Barthelomi, on the subject of peace, was all for naught. We are however inclined to suppose, that this report rather than the correspondence, is ill founded, as the latter appears to be official.
The most important articles in the
"Morning Post, or Dublin Courant," of April 21, state That the Austrian and French troops were on the best possible footing with each other, March 24.—That General Jourdan's head quarters were removed to Winich, close by the Moselle, April 2. That at Dusseldorf April 6, the news of PEACE gained credit, and an immediate prolongation of the truce hoped. That the new loan of 7 1-2 millions was contracted for in London on the 15th April.
BOSTON, June 13. Extract of a letter from Halifax, May 15, 1796.
I failed from Waterford in the Elizabeth, of Alexandria, Capt. Wood, for New-York, the 27th of March; but to the least of my expectation, we fell in with a fifty gun ship called the Assistance, just come out of Sandy-Hook, on a cruise towards Halifax, being within thirty-four leagues of land, Having boarded us, they took our sailors and forty of our passengers, leaving only married men who had large families. They put 12 men and two officers on board, and brought us here last night. The Captain of the vessel not having proper papers to prove her to be an American, she was sent here to be tried by Admiral MURRAY—he is here at present; the Assistance will not come here this fortnight, being on a cruise: we are to be detained until the arrives, unless we can by any means procure leave of the Admiralty to go. Mr. —, and I are in very low spirits not knowing what to do. I have just written these few lines, to acquaint you of our situation, hoping you will write by return of post, what you think best to be done—If we shall get our liberty before I hear from you, we will go in the first vessel bound to New-York or Philadelphia.
The Federal Senators from this State, have resigned their seats in that Hon. Body.
The corner stone of the new Theatre was laid on Tuesday last. Mr. POWELL, we learn, has made several engagements of capital performers.
ENGLAND.
A new Loan has been filled up, which augurs a continuance of war. For while her resources are unexhausted her pride will be unhumbl'd, and no concessions will be made.
Admiral CORNWALLIS, has resigned.
A forgery to the amount of 17,000l. on the Bank, has been discovered. One WESTON, was the forger. On his detection he blew out his ingenious brains.
The following Article, which a little alarms some of the English, we shall publish entire.
From LONDON, April 18.
Extract of a letter from Alderney, April 11.
"Yesterday we discovered a large camp forming near Belville Church, just opposite us on the coast of France, nearly where there was one last year. Whether the Sans Culottes intend merely to guard their coast; or to form an embakation in Vaucluse bay for this island, in boats, time must shew. At any rate, we must redouble our diligence for fear of a surprise, or night attack. If they come by day light, I think we shall do our part. The Royalist General Frotte keeps up a regular correspondence with Sir Sidney Smith, at St. Marceau. Caen is declared in a state of siege by the Conseil de Guerre de la Ville; but I do not hear that the Royalists are sufficiently strong in those parts to appear by day light. Frotte, notwithstanding was in high spirits by his last letters."
Extract of a letter from an American Captain at Gibraltar to his owner in town, dated April 13, 1796.
"Two Brigs and a large Schooner have arrived here with Tobacco; they were bound higher up, but on Account of the Algerines being out, they put in here. There have been a Frigates and 3 Xebecs spoke with some distance up, which has again put a stop to the Commerce in American vessels up the Streights."
ST. LUCIA.
The news respecting the situation of St. Lucia, by the several late arrivals, is perfectly consistent in many important points. The English lost, say these accounts, from 1500 to 2000 in killed and wounded, in different attacks on the few Republicans in this little Island, from their landing to May 20; and still remained uncertain of the final capture of the place. The report of the defection of a regiment of blacks, is not confirmed. Indeed, the report is accounted for, by their having landed at a different part of the Island, from that in which they were ordered. They had been in a trifling rencontre; Their Commander was killed, and they retreated. The following extract of a letter also relates to St. Lucia.
FROM THE SALEM GAZETTE, OF THIS MORNING.
Extract of a letter from Capt. Asa Batchelder, of this port, dated St. Pierre's (Martinique) May 23, 1796.
"The English are yet at St. Lucia, but have not taken one of the Forts, though they have made many attempts. The hospital vessels bring hundreds of sick and wounded to this port and Fort-Royal every day. It is thought they will not take the Island, unless the French are short of provisions. The English keep up a constant cannonading day and night, while the French only avail themselves of the best opportunities of annoying them."
