N. B. Prizes subject to a deduction of 15 per cent.
This lottery has been authorised by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purposes of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view, it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dollars and 2,500 dollars, in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer, a chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of the state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to the fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of tickets, and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorise it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.
Richmond, March 2—E T Tickets to be had of Robert Pollard Esq. John Brockenbrough, jun. Wm. Price (Reg.) Samuel Pleasants, jun. and William Prichard.

Extracts from "The Political and Confidential Correspondence of LEWIS THE SIXTEENTH, with observations on each letter. By Helen Maria Williams. In three volumes Octavo.
LETTER
TO M. DE MAUREPAS.
THE removal of M. de St. Germain is generally wished for; and you yourself, my dear Maurepas, complain of the innovations and reforms which his zeal for my service led him to introduce. I was persuaded that these reforms and innovations were useful, and, in my council of state, have often listened with interest to his memorials, which appeared to me to be dictated by wisdom, the love of order and economy. St. Germain was agreeable to me; but there is a league formed against him; his enemies have sworn his destruction; he has lost your confidence, my dear Maurepas; he could therefore no longer do good, and I am compelled to remove him: but I acknowledge that his memorials have left a strong impression on my mind; and I name his successor with regret. Perhaps I ought, on this occasion, to refer the decisions of my council; but I am obliged, although a king, to yield my own opinion to that of the majority; and I have signed.
LEWIS.
Observations on the VIIIth letter.
HAD we not received sufficient evidence of the instability of the king's resolutions, and of the slight texture of his moral courage, this letter would furnish another striking example. M. de St. Germain was not only personally agreeable to Lewis the Sixteenth, but he seems, while he is expelling him from his councils, to take pleasure in making his eulogium. The king was persuaded that these reforms were useful; the memorials of the minister were dictated by wisdom, the love of order and economy; they had made the most lively impression on his mind; "but," says the king with great simplicity, "his enemies have sworn his ruin. You yourself, my dear Maurepas, have complained of the innovations and reforms which his zeal for my service has led him to make."
That the enemies of wisdom, of the love of order and economy, should have sworn the ruin of a reforming minister, was perfectly natural; that the wily Mentor should wish to check the ascendancy which this upright minister had gained over the mind of his royal pupil, is also very reasonable; these men acted in conformity to their instinct. But who, in reviewing this history of dismissals, the secret causers of which are laid open in this correspondence, can avoid deplored the fate of the king, placed, like Medea, between the good and the evil; appreciating, with all the feelings of honor and integrity which belong to virtuous men, the one, and yet, though armed with power to pursue it submitting and resolving to consummate the other? And when, raising his mind above the intrigues of courts, and the littleness of individuals, but must mourn over the fate of nations intrusted to such parasites, and such princes? The king is convinced, he tells his favorite, that the enemies of the minister are the enemies of his plans of doing good; and whom does he drive from his presence? The rapacious and prodigal banditti that form the majority of his councils! No; it is the man of integrity and worth, the minister of his choice, who enjoys and merits all his consideration and esteem! I believe it is generally admitted that M. de St. Germain's plans of reform did not deserve all the approbation which the monarch has bestowed on them, and that his retreat from ministry was not marked with that nobleness and independence of character which distinguished his two other colleagues. The king, however, had the fullest impression of the utility of these plans, the greatest personal confidence in his minister's administration; but, as this minister had lost the confidence of his council and courtiers, he sentences him to the impossibility of any longer doing good.
The administration of those three ministers is the most important epocha of the reign of Lewis the Sixteenth, till the revolution. Of that event those men were the prefiguring causes; and if the good intentions of the king had been seconded by firmness of character, the reformation of abuses, of civil & political liberty, would have spared his country
many of the calamities which it has suffered from the revolution, and himself the dreadful catastrophe by which at length he fell.
LETTER
TO THE DUKE OF CHARON.
May 16th, 1778.
YOU spend your life, my cousin, in forming useful establishments; and your solicitude extends, not only to the arts themselves, but to those who cultivate them. Your actions prove that you inherit that romantic affection which the good Sully felt for all Frenchmen. Like you, I love to encourage the unfortunate, and, with this view, mean to found two places at the academy of drawings, destined for such young persons as shall discover a decided talent for that art. I leave to your choice the nomination of those who merit best to be admitted as candidates.
I reiterate with infinite pleasure, my cousin, the particular sentiments of esteem I bear you.
LEWIS.
Observations on the Xth letter.
THIS letter forms the eulogium both of the person by whom it was written, and the person to whom it was addressed; and although it contains little else than a compliment to the duke of Charon, discovers a disposition for genuine benevolence in the king, which does honor to his heart. The name of Sully so frequently recurs in his private correspondence, that it appears to have been the character in the history of the country which he had most studied, and on which he dwelt with particular complacency. Amidst the struggles of factions, and the entanglements of parties, the mind is soothed in repeating incidents such as these; and a wish involuntarily arises, that the writer of such a letter had been destined by fortune to those occupations for which he so justly praises his beneficent cousin.
LETTER
TO M. DE LAVOISIER.
March 15, 1789.
Your last experiment, sir, still excites my admiration; this discovery proves that you have enlarged the sphere of human knowledge. Your experiments on inflammable gas show how much you are occupied by that admirable science which every day makes new progress.
The Queen, and some persons to whom I wish your experiment to be shown, will meet in my cabinet to-morrow at seven in the evening; and you will give me pleasure by bringing me the treatise on inflammable gas.
You know, sir, how much you possess my esteem.
LEWIS.
Observations on the XVIIIth letter.
THE experiments, which this celebrated philosopher is here invited to repeat before the king and his family, form the basis of the French system of chemistry. But, although they met with the royal approbation, and since with the adherence of almost the whole of the chemical world, this system yet wants the sanction of that illustrious experimentalist who first laid the foundation on which this usual superstructure is reared.
But, leaving the fate of these gazes to the impartial investigation of the scientific world, who can help deplored that of M. Lavoisier, and hearing a groan of execration against his hideous murderers? He is invited in this letter by the king, to repeat his experiments before the queen, and persons of the court; four years afterwards, he requested from his executioners the respite of a fortnight, to wait the result of a series of important experiments he had begun. But his assassins did not understand his appeal: their only sciences of government was confusion; their only experiment, the scaffold.

GERMANY.
HAMBURGH, March 19.
On Friday last was arrested here a ci-devant noble, calling himself the Count d'Agle, who arrived from London, and who was charged with the distribution of considerable sums of money with views least favorable to France. He had served under the Prince of Orange, at the commencement of the Revolution in Holland; was married at Amsterdam, and had made frequent voyages from Hamburg to London and from London to Hamburg. By his conduct and discourse, some have believed him deranged.
Rasau has this day expiated, by punishment on the wheel, the murder of his wife and five children. He was executed between 12 and 1 o'clock. He was surrounded by at least 40,000 spectators, before whom he confessed that the anti-religious opinions which he had unfortunately embraced in regard to the nature of God and the soul, had prepared the way to the crime of which he had become guilty, and that restored to a faith in better principles, he begged pardon of God and man. After that he discovered an extraordinary resignation and underwent the punishment without uttering a single groan. His body was interred under one of the posts of the scaffold.
The Emperor of Russia, by a letter of the 16th January, to M. le Comte de Woronzow, chancellor of the Empire, acknowledged that he ought to submit to his reiterated intreaties to take a journey which the state of his health required, testified to him a desire of his continuing to assist by his counsels during his short absence; and added, it is with a view to facilitate this correspondence, that he had ordered that it should be accompanied by a party of the chancery.
REPUBLIC OF FRANCE.
MARSEILLE, 3d Germinal.
Charles Thum, arrested as the chief of a conspiracy in the departments of the Upper and Lower Rhine, had been brought this day to this city. He immediately underwent an examination before the President of the criminal tribunal. This Thum should not be confounded with Daniel Thum his brother, who has discovered the plot. This last has escaped, and the Police have not been able to discover his retreat.
It is some time since, they have arrested at Deuxpoux, an American, named Seibert, who furnished with false powers of attorney, laid he was employed by persons of the country, who had returned to America, to collect and sell the property which might fall to them during their absence. All the researches they have made to discover the forgers of the writings, who, on this occasion, had aided Seibert in his rogueries, were ineffectual.
On some indications which were manifested at the place where he was arrested, the president of the criminal tribunal of this city, resolved to make the most diligent search, which had succeeded beyond all hopes, for he has discovered that five or six other Americans, many in this department as well as in the neighbouring country and in the Palatinate, Suabia, &c. have made use of means to enrich themselves, with which it is well to be acquainted, in order to guard against it.
They have often made voyages from Europe to America, have charged themselves with all the letters which they could obtain, have opened them, and thus learned the state of affairs of the American colonies and any claims which they might have in Europe. They purchased for a small price this property, and came here to sell it advantageously. It frequently happened that their voyages have brought them in twenty or thirty thousand francs.
They did more, they engaged to follow, by these deceitful enticements, those unfortunate persons, who, having arrived in America, found themselves obliged to pay in advertisement the price of their passage, and often to tumble themselves for years to the service of the most severe. Seibert had for his part thirty full powers in his last voyage, without counting the false instrument of the same kind. Another individual has been cited, who had the means of procuring at least sixty powers of attorney.
PARIS, 14th Germinal.
The Grand Chancellor of the legion of honor has been charged to report to the citizens who arrested Georges, the intention of the grand council to admit them into the legion of honor.
Moniteur.
VIENNA, March 21.
The French ambassador has transmitted the 4th of this month, to the Vice Chancellor of the Empire, an official note, in which is made known the discovery of the conspiracy formed against the life of the First Consul. In consequence of this notification, M. le Comte de Cobentzel, our minister at Paris, has received orders to congratulate the First Consul, in the name of his Majesty, on the fortunate discovery of this plot.
There arrived here this week two couriers from Paris, one from M. Cobentzel, the other brought dispatches to the minister of France.
HELVETIC REPUBLIC.
ZURICH, March 24.
The scenes of disorder and tumult in our Canton have unhappily continued and augmented for a few days past. Some present a scene of the most unbridled licentiousness. It is in the district of Ulter, that the greatest disorders have been committed. Two deputations from government divided themselves in this district; the one composed of M. M. Lawater and Pfenninger, departed on the 21st in the evening, returned the next day, it had found some of the communes disposed to take the oath, others refused in the midst of the greatest tumult. Having been apprised afterwards that at Fehraltorf, the peasants had assembled and armed themselves with large clubs, that they carried the Helvetic and tri-coloured cockade, &c. they have returned to Zurich, despairing of success.
The second deputation composed of M. M. Walder and Bangei have had no better success, they every where found troops. At Hirwil, it was impossible for the deputies to get into the church, where the ceremony had taken place. Already had they prepared to depart, when the populace besieged the tavern where they were; their guards were disarmed; their arms being broken, they demanded with loud cries that M. Walder should be delivered to the people (this member of the petit council is a citizen of a neighbouring commune of Hirwil, who had been sent to the Diet of Schwiz, in September, 1802): the enraged populace swore that he should not survive the day, and he owed his deliverance only to the firmness of his colleagues, M. Bagei, who, during five successive hours heroically opposed the fury of the assailants. It was necessary for the safe departure of the deputation, that M. Walder should present himself at the window of the chamber to promise in a loud voice, that he would contribute for the future to every thing that could solace the people, and especially to a modification of the law respecting the redemption of dimes and cents.
The petit council having demanded, after the manner prescribed by the federal act, an armed succour of the Landamman of the Swiss, he has sent five hundred men raised in the Cantons of Argovie, of Berne, and of Fribourg. The troops of Argovie have just entered our city, they this day expect those of Berne. M. le Colonel Ziegler, of Zurich, had been named by the Landamman, commandant of these detachments. It cannot be doubted that the presence of these forces alone will suffice to restrain the rioters, and promptly appease all their troubles.
They are at present engaged in raising the militia of the Canton, they have arrested many rioters. The sentence passed by the tribunal of the district of Winterthur, against the authors of a revolutionary address on the redemption of the dimes and cents, has just been sent, by a mode of appeal, to the tribunal of appellation .
A journal has published the following particulars, from a letter which guarantees its authenticity.
Captain Quoniam, of Cherbourg, arrived from the Gold Coast, where he had made a treaty with the negroe; his vessel the merchant brig, Le Vendangeur, had anchored the 7 Ventose, year 11, in the road of Feciche; a point near the Cape de Hopes Gonsalve, in 0 degrees 52 minutes south latitude—the brig fired a salute of 5 pieces of cannon. On the 18th the king Passador accompanied by his princes came alongside with five large canoes; capt. Quoniam saluted him with cannon; the Ari-

rans came on board the Vendan- geur, and after some conferences relative to the treaty the king testified the great- est joy at seeing Frenchmen; he de- manded news of the cruel Bonaparte, whose great actions he was already ac- quainted with and of whom he spoke with the greatest enthusiasm, and showed a lively desire of being acquainted with him; he spoke of his own exploits, of his wars against the powerful king of Tangus, whom he had forced to fly, after having slain three thousand men; he ended by showing a great desire to have added to his name the name of the First Consul. Captain Quoniam gave him this rank of commander by calling him PASSADOR BONAPARTE , but the African excited more, he wished that this name should be entered on the journal of the ship; in order that it might appear in France, that the glory of our hero had penetrated his kingdom and that he was one of his greatest ad- mirers.
TURKEY.
Petersburg March 10.
M. le Baron de Bessien, military commandant of Lithuania, has received orders of his Imperial Majesty to receive with every mark of friendship and kind- ness, the 150 families of Mennonites who were expected at Marienburg and Ebing, and who wish to establish them- selves in the government of New Russia. This officer was to go on the frontiers in order to procure to these new colon- ists those favours which they will have need of before they can conveniently arrive at the place of their destination. A sum of 15,000 rubles has been already assigned for this purpose by the ca- bine.
Alexander gloriously follows the steps of his august grandfire. This prince is not yet 28 years of age (born in 1777,) and already his place is marked in that circle of sovereigns, who, like the illustrious pupil of Fenelon, believe they are born only for the hap- piness of their subjects; in tracing what he has done during the last six months we find that he introduced great reform in the colleges of Medicine, of pharmacy and of finance; that he had founded and organized the university of Wilna, that he had collected around him the most distinguished men of Europe, that he had punished with as much se- verity as justice the unfaithful agents of his power, that he had recompensed as much graciously as magnificence, the princes, senators and counsellors, who, by their zeal, their knowledge, and their probity, have justified his choice, and merited his confidence.
It is difficult to conceive how, in an age of dissipation, & often of frivolity, it is possible for a person to divide his time between his duties and his pleasures, but what is conceived most difficult is, that in the height of power, a prince can vol- untarily renounce all the pleasures of his age, to devote himself to the duties of the state; but what we cannot easily conceive is that he seems to have placed his happiness in glory, and all his glory in the happiness of his subjects.
This phenomenon however explains itself when we reflect that of all en- joyments perhaps the most intoxicating is that of glory, that he who for this could renounce all others, and could say at the age of Alexander: "I fill the universe with my name, an immense people shall enjoy the fruits of my labor, all mankind are my brethren, and dis- engaged from the ties of all personal af- fection, it is for the benefit of the hu- man race that I consecrate my life, it is according to the extent of my be- nefits that I measure my happi- ness. But one thing I demand as the reward of this devotion, it is, that it may be duly appreciated; it is that it may be made known by fame; it is that the glory of my name should be proportioned to the merit of my ac- tions."
And from this it may be concluded that a like object can transport youth with hope, and inflame them with emu- lation; and that it may be supposed that the path which leads to a great end are filled with charms, and the exertions necessary to obtain them, are themselves an inestimable enjoyment, and can exclu- sively occupy a soul as noble and as ge- nerous as that of Alexander.

Valuable Lands for Sale.
By order of the court of Calvert county, will be exposed to Public Sale the following lands, the property of the heirs of captain Walter Smith, deceas- ed.
ON Monday the 20th day of August next, will be sold on the premises the plantation on which the late Capt. Walter Smith formerly re- sided, containing by actual survey, 1225 1/2 acres of land lying adjoining Patuxent river, bounded on the south west by the said river, on the east by a fine navigable creek, called Saint Leonard's creek, so that one and a half miles of fencing will include the whole land— The soil of this land is equal if not superior to any on Patuxent, either for farming, planting or grazing, and in their season the greatest plenty of fine fish and oysters may be had either from the river or creek—A great part of the above land is covered with Red Cedar, fit for posts or fencing. On Tuesday the 21st on the premises, will be sold one other plantation in the Forest at about two miles distance from the former containing by survey 677 and one half acres of land, the greatest part of which is covered with hickory, chestnut and oak wood, and a great proportion of swamp land, which at a trifling expense might be converted into valuable meadow, belongs to this land.
On Thursday the 23d on the premises, will be sold one other plantation lying adjoining on Chesapeake bay, bounded on the north east by the said bay, on the north by a creek called Parkers creek, containing by survey 536 1/2 acres of land, on this land there are a good proportion marsh and meadow land and a great abundance of fine timber.

MASSACRE OF ALL THE WHITES AT CAPE FRANCOIS.
By the Pilot Boat Grey-Hound, Capt. Sandford, in 16 days from Cape Francois we have a confirmation of the massacre and pillage at that and other places of the Island by Gen. D. Dessalines' troops, which commenced on the 19th of April, and was continued, with- out intermission till the 24th of May.— All the French inhabitants, including men, women and children, to the num- ber of between 2000 and 2500, were put to the sword or bayoneted at the Cape during the above period. On the 14th inst. after the work of destruction was completed, D. Dessalines left the Cape on his way to his head quarters by way of Port-de-Paix and Gonaives.—On the 22d of April, Fort Dauphin was pillag- ed, and all the whites, to the number of about ninety, men, women and chil- dren were massacred, and a part of the town destroyed. A few days after, the French inhabitants of St. Jago and other parts of the interior, were escorted to the Cape, and there destroyed in the most wanton manner.
On the 12th of May, D. Dessalines is- sued a proclamation (a copy of which follows) calling upon the Spanish in- habitants of the City of Santo Domingo, to declare themselves for or against him, allowing them fifteen days to determine. This proclamation was made in conse- quence it was said, of his having received dispatches from Port-au-Prince, informing him of the arrival of a reinforce- ment of French troops at Santo Domin- go.
To enter into a full detail of the par- ticulars of the massacre and plunder of Cape, would be a painful task, and af- ford no pleasure to our readers; but we are assured that from the beginning to the end of the hellish work, the most unpar- alleled cruelties were inflicted upon the whites in a manner too shocking to relate.
Men, women and children were hack- ed down with swords and plunged with bayonets. Women with children in their arms, were seen flying through the streets to avoid their pursuers; and be- ing overtaken by them, one thrust of a bayonet pierced both mother and child!
After this dreadful massacre the dead lay in the streets for three days, when the inhabitants were ordered to remove those within a certain distance of each dwelling—which were afterwards drag- ged off and thrown into a ditch at the foot of a mountain.
Previous to the massacre, certain of the blacks in order to obtain the proper- ty of the whites, which was secreted, called on them individually, and promis- ed to spare their lives if they would give it up; having obtained it, not one of them was excepted from the general massacre! The property thus perfid- iously obtained, (consisting of gold, jewels and plate) was said to be im- mense. Gold was brought to the town in hats by the blacks, and offered in exchange for silver for less than half its value.
We are informed that Dessalines has decreed, that any Frenchman hencefor- ward who shall arrive in St. Domingo shall be put to death.
To show further the vindictive cruelty of the blacks and their inveteracy a- gainst the whites, we shall mention the following fact: Just before the massacre took place, a Danish Schooner belong- ing to St. Thomas having on board a number of French passengers after sailing was pursued by armed boats, overtaken & brought back, and the Danish Captain crew and passengers all put to death.
The few Americans that were at the Cape, remained unhurt. With the ex- ception of the printer and a few mecha- nics at the Cape, whose services were too useful to be spared, not one Frenchman survived the general destruc- tion.
At the date of our advices, Dessalines was erecting strong fortifications in the mountains. His force consists of 60,000 men.
On the 23th of April, General Des- salines issued a proclamation, expla- natory of his motives and of his future conduct, of which the following is a copy:
Translated for the Mercantile Advertiser.
LIBERTY OR DEATH. PROCLAMATION.
JEAN JACQUES DESSALINES, Gover- nor general, to the inhabitants of Hayti.
Crimes, the most atrocious, such as were until then unheard of, and would cause nature to shudder, have been perpetrat- ed. The measure was over-heaped. At length the hour of vengeance has arrived, and the implacable enemies of the rights of man have suffered the punish- ment due to their crimes.
My arm, raised over their heads, has too long delayed to strike. At that signal, which the justice of God has urg- ed, your hands righteously armed, have
brought the axe upon the ancient tree of slavery and prejudices. In vain had time, and more especially the infernal politics of Europeans, surrounded it with triple brafs; you have stripped it of its armour; you have placed it upon your heart, that you may become (like your natural enemies) cruel and merciless. Like an overflowing mighty torrent that tears down all opposition, your venge- ful fury has carried away every thing in its impetuous course. Thus perish all tyrants over innocence, all oppressors of mankind!
What then? bent for many ages under an iron yoke; the sport of the pillage of men, of their injustice, and of the cap- rices of fortune; mutilated victims of the cupidity of white Frenchmen; after having fattened with our toils these in- fatiate blood suckers, with a patience and resignation unexampled, we should again have seen that sacrilegious horde make an attempt upon our destruction without any distinction of sex or age; and we, men without energy, of no vir- tue, of no delicate sensibility, should not we have plunged in their breast the dag- ger of desperation? Where is that vile Haytian, so unworthy of his regenera- tion, who thinks he has not accomplish- ed the decree of the Eternal by exter- minating these blood-thirsty tigers? If there is one, let him fly; indignant na- ture discards him from our bosom; let him hide his shame far from hence: the air we breathe is not suited to his gross organs; it is the pure air of Liberty, august and triumphant.
Yes, we have rendered to these true cannibals war for war, crime for crime, outrage for outrage; Yes, I have saved my Country; and I have avenged America. The avowal I make of it in the face of the earth and heaven confu- tutes my pride and my glory. Of what consequence to me is the opinion which contemporary and future generations will pronounce upon my conduct? I have performed my duty; I enjoy my own approbation; for me that is sufficient. But what do I say? The preservation of my unfortunate brothers, the testimo- ny of my own conscience, are not my only recompence: I have seen two clas- ses of men, born to cherish, assist and succour one another—mixed, in a word, and blended together—crying for ven- geance, and disputing the honour of the first blow.
Blacks and yellows, whom the refined duplicity of Europeans has for a long time endeavoured to divide; you, who are now consolidated, and make but one family; without doubt it was ne- cessary that our perfect reconciliation should be sealed with the blood of your butchers. Similar calamities have hung over your proffered heads; a similar ardor to strike your enemies has signali- sed you: & the like fate is reserved for you: and the like interest must therefore render you for ever one, indivisible, and inseparable. Maintain that precious concord, that happy harmony amongst yourselves: it is the pledge of your happiness, your salvation, and your suc- cess: it is the secret of being invinc- ible.
It is necessary, in order to strengthen these ties, to recall to your remem- brance the catalogue of atrocities com- mitted against our species: the massa- cre of the entire population of this island, meditated in the silence and lang-froid of the cabinet: the execution of that abominable project, to me unblushingly proposed, and already begun by the French with the calmness and serenity of a countenance accustomed to similar crimes. Guadalupe, pillaged and de- stroyed: its ruins still reeking with the blood of the children women and old men put to the sword: Palage [himself the victim of their cruelties] after hav- ing basely betrayed his country and his brothers: The brave and immortal Del- greffe, blown into the air with the fort which he defended, rather than accept their offered chains. Magnanimous warrior! that noble death, far from en- feebling our courage, serves only to rouse within us the determination of avenging or of following thee. Shall I again recall to your memory the plots lately fanned at Jeremie? the terrible explosion which was to be the result, notwithstanding the generous pardon granted to these incorrigible beings at the expulsion of the French army? the deplorable fate of our departed brothers in Europe? and [dread harbinger of death] the frightful despotism exercised at Martinique? Unfortunate people of Martinique, could I but fly to your as- sistance, and break your fetters! Alas! an insurmountable barrier separates us. Perhaps a spark from the same fire which enflames us, will alight into your bosoms: perhaps at the sound of this commotion, suddenly awakening from your lethargy, with arms in your hands, you will reclaim your sacred and im- prescriptible rights.
After the terrible example which I have just given, that sooner or later Divine Justice will unchain on earth some mighty minds, above the weak- ness of the vulgar, for the destruction and terror of the wicked; tremble, ty- rants, usurpers, scourges of the new world! our daggers are sharpened; your punishment is ready! sixty thousand men, equipped, inured to war, obedient to my orders, burn to offer a new sa-

critic to the names of their assassinated brothers. Let that nation come who may be mad and daring enough to attack me. Already at its approach, the irritated genius of Hayti, rising out of the bosom of the ocean, appears; his menacing aspect throws the waves into commotion, excites tempests, and with his mighty hand disperse ships, or dashes them to pieces; to his formidable voice the laws of nature pay obedience; diseases, plague, famine, conflagration, poison, are his constant attendants. But why calculate on the assistance of the climate and of the elements? Have I forgot that I command a people of no common cast, brought up in adversity, whose audacious daring frowns at obstacles and increases by dangers? Let them come, then, these homicidal Gohorts! I wait for them with firmness and with a steady eye, I abandon to them freely the sea-shore, and the places where cities have existed; but woe to those who may approach too near the mountains! It were better for them that the sea received them into its profound abyss, than to be devoured by the anger of the children of Hayti.
"Woe to death to tyrants!" this is my motto; "Liberty, independence!" this is our rallying cry.
Generals, officers, soldiers, a little unlike him who has preceded me, the ex-general Toussaint Louverture, I have been faithful to the promise which I made to you when I took up arms against tyranny, and whilst the last spark of life remains in me I shall keep my oath. Never again shall a colonist or an European set his foot upon this territory with the title of master or proprietor. This resolution shall henceforward form the fundamental basis of our constitution.
Should other chiefs, after me, by pursuing a conduct diametrically opposite to mine, dig their own graves and those of their species, you will have to accuse only the law of destiny which shall have taken me away from the happiness and welfare of my fellow citizens. May my successors follow the path I shall have traced out for them! It is the system best adapted for consolidating their power; it is the highest homage they can render to my memory.
As it is derogatory to my character and my dignity to punish the innocent for the crimes of the guilty, a handful of whites, commendable by the religion they have always professed, and who have besides taken the oath to live with us in the woods, have experienced my clemency. I order that the sword respect them, and that they be unmolested.
I recommend anew and order to all the generals of department, &c. to grant succours, encouragement and protection, to all neutral and friendly nations who may wish to establish commercial relations in this island.
Head quarters at the Cape, 28th April, 1804, first year of independence.
The governor general, Signed, DESSALINES, A true copy. The secretary general, JUSTE CHANLATTE.
The quantity of silver plate, jewellery, gold articles, &c, plundered from the dead and brought in by the negroes, was immense, and was frequently offered for sale at half its value.
On the 22d April Fort Dauphin was pillaged, a part of the town destroyed, and the whites massacred to the number of from 85 to 90.
A few days afterwards the French inhabitants of St. Jago, and other parts of the interior, were escorted to the Cape under a strong guard, and there butchered.
A Danish schooner, lying at the Cape, with passengers from St. Thomas, was seized and every sailor and passenger on board massacred.
Of the white persons who escaped from the island almost by miracle, several have arrived at this port in the Greyhound; 9 in the Almy which sailed for New-York six days before the Greyhound, viz. Carne and daughter, Helen, Wife and Son, d'Albre, Alain, Gabaureau and wife; and in the Nancy, for Charlestown, Messrs. Oliver and Grothun.

WASHINGTON CITY,
FRIDAY, JUNE 8.
On Saturday last arrived in this city the BARON HUMBOLDT , accompanied by two of his fellow travellers in South America, and by Dr. Fothergill, of Bath, (England,) Dr. Woodhouse, Dr. Collin, and Mr. Peale of Philadelphia. The Baron Humboldt is a distinguished philosopher of Prussia, of which country he is a native. Animated by the wide field for research presented by the New World, he about six years ago under the auspices of the King of Prussia, and with facilities to intercourse afforded by the monarchy of Spain, exchanged the ease and enjoyments of his own country for the hardships and perils of a climate to which he had been entirely a stranger. Since that period he has been actively engaged in exploring the interior of South America; in making himself acquainted with the manners and their political economy; in making astronomical observations, for which he was provided with the best instruments; in examining the animal and vegetable kingdoms; and in becoming acquainted, from personal observation, with the mountains, volcanoes and mines, so numerously scattered over the country. He has had the singular good fortune of having endured, for a considerable length of time, a degree of heat, in which the mercury stood at 105 degrees, without experiencing one day's sickness; and of passing through a greater variety of climates than are to be found in any other quarter of the globe. Among his proudest trophies is the having gained a higher evidence of the Chimborazo, (itself by far the highest mountain in the world) than had ever before been reached by natives or foreigners. He is about returning to Europe to publish the result of his researches, which we have no doubt will not only give new views of a large portion of South America, but likewise refute the accounts of that region from the fiction and incorrectness with which they are at present enveloped.
We are pleased to add that the citizens of Washington, and more especially the President, fully impressed with the great and disinterested services of the Baron, have, by their attentions, paid his talents the respect to which they are so eminently entitled.
The following Extract from Mr. Holt's Report on the agriculture, &c. of Lancashire, is well worth the attention of those who have dairies.
   Quantity of new milk. Quantity of butter by hand churning.     Quarts. Pounds.   6 471 364   6 644 397   6 995 348   20,110 1,109   Quantity of butter by machinery.   7 261 469   7 675 482   8 120 574   23,156 1,525    Therefore if 20,110 quarts yield 1,109 pounds, how many pounds will 23,156 quarts yield? Answer, — 1,277 Produced by machinery, 1,525
248 lbs. more than would have been produced by hand churning.
N. B. 15 1/2 gallons of milk with three pints of warm water produce 8 lbs. 4 oz. of butter. The cream of the same quantity of milk, with three pints of warm water produced 4 lbs. 14 oz.—Milk produces more when held by the quart than when converted into butter.
In the year 1791, a pound of cotton was spun to a fineness of ninety-seven miles in length, and sold for £22 13, in this state; it was afterwards taken from Lancashire to Glasgow, and when manufactured was presented to the Queen of England.
New-York, June 4. By the ship Vigilant from Naples, the editors of this Gazette have received an extract of a letter from Commodore Preble, dated on board the Constitution at Syracuse, March 19, 1804. The following is a copy.
"I have this moment received intelligence from a gentleman just arrived from Tunis, that the Bey of that regency is equipping his whole naval force with the utmost expedition; and it is whispered that his object is, the American commerce. From various circumstances, I believe there is much truth in the conjecture. Three of their frigates, from 34 to 32 guns, are now fitting out at Malta; one frigate of 32 guns, and a number of smaller vessels, are getting ready at Tunis."
Commodore Preble further observes that he intends to collect all the forces of Tripoli, and proceed off Tunis to learn the cause.
By the Brig Georgia Packet, we have received a letter dated Cadiz April 7, which says, "We have an order from his Catholic Majesty not to suffer prizes either English or French to be sold or brought into any ports of his dominions. This looks like enforcing a strict neutrality."
Boston, May 31.
Yesterday being the day appointed by the constitution for the meeting of the General Court for the year ensuing, the gentlemen elected for Senators and representatives assembled at the Statehouse in this town.
His excellency the governor and hon. council attended, when the members had the oaths administered to them agreeably to the constitution.
The hon. David Cobb, esq. was then elected President of the Senate, and Wendell Davis, clerk.
The attention of the house, as is usual, was first called to the choice of a clerk—when upon counting and sorting the votes, it appeared the whole number was 230—necessary to a choice 116.—Nicholas Tillinghast, esq. had 128, and Mr. Charles P. Sumer 102.
They then proceeded to the choice of a speaker, when, upon sorting and counting the votes, it appeared that the whole number was 235—necessary to a choice 118.—H. G. O. esq. had 129, Perez Morton, esq. 103—scattering 3, federal majority eleven.
The legislative, joined by the executive, then proceeded to the Old-South meeting house, escorted by the Independent Company of Gids. commanded by Col. Wells, where a discourse was delivered on the occasion, by the Rev. Mr. Kendall, of Weston, from Deuteronomy 32. 45 & 47 verses.
In the afternoon, both branches assembled in convention, for the purpose of filling the vacancies in the Senate, from the counties of Plymouth, Barnstable, Lincoln, &c.
The whole number of votes for the county of Plymouth, were 256—necessary to a choice 129.—Hon. Bezah Hayward had 142, hon. Isaac Thompson 140.
Barnstable.—Whole number 259, necessary to make a choice 130.—Richard Sears, Esq. had 143.
Lincoln, &c.—Whole number 257—necessary to make a choice 129. Mark L. Hill, Esq. had 144.
The display of the increase of republicanism was evinced in the election of yesterday. The decline of federalism is so rapid, as to make its advocates apprehensive of its total annihilation. The majority of the house, in the choice of speaker and clerk, were "lank" indeed; and even the vacancies of the Senate were filled with a greatly diminished majority of votes, in favor of the federal candidates.
Last year the votes for speaker, were 124 for Ots, and 73 for Morton; yesterday, the former obtained the choice by the small majority of eleven! This is an evidence of what has been predicted in the Centinel as a proud day for federalism!
We trust, from the independence of the members, that the present legislature will retrieve the character of Massachusetts, and that the machinations of a body of disorganizers, will be frustrated.
