PROM THE NEW-YORK PAPERS.

-ON the 17th of April the, brig Firvogrite,
BkEcort, arrived at New-York in twelve days,
from Cape FranCois, and brought intelligence of
the Blacks having proved vittoilous in several late
engagements with the Fiench ; Getieral LEcLyttc!s
first Aid-de-Camp had been killed, and the Genes
ral and second Aid-de-Camp badly wounded. The
Negroes infested the country within a"mile of the
Cape, and were daily capturing small detachments
of Whites, the greatest. part. of 'whom they in-
stantly massacred... •
The New-York Gazette of 19th and Xoth -of
April, contains the following interesting intelligence
on the stNea of St. Domingo :
. .
By the Brig Liberty, Captain BROWN, from Cape
Francois, we have accounts to the 3d-inst. at which.
time nothing decisive had occurred. The French
Army was entirely frustrated in its operations by.
,the nightly excursions of the Blacks, who rushed on
them with savage impetuosity, and after slaughter,
ing and burning whatever fell within their±reaeh,
retired to their fastnesses. A considerable number
of French wounded Troops were brought to Cape
Francois on the zst of 'April, and i.t was said Gene-
ral Officers among the number.
A squadron from Brest,. with a reinforcement of
7000 men, had arrived. .
Madame DEssALIN ES, wife of the General, has
been made prisoner by the French. The jewels and
other ornaments found on her 'person,
,‘Vere of im-
mense value.

On the 6th of April, the day on which Captain
BROWN left Cape Francois' the •situation 'of that
place was truly deplorable.
Captain BROWN states, that 'there was not the
least prospeft of LECLERC'S subduing the Blacks,
who were daily corrunitting depredaiions on the
lives and property of the inhabitants, in sight of
the Cape. " That:the Blacks had, in the different
engagements, killed about 6000 of• the French
troops; that-In:my of them were daily falling saCri•
fices to a disorder which prevailed among them, and
that the cruelty of the-one patty:was not exceeded by
that of the other.. The French when they have taken
a number of condutl them to, the edge
of a large pit, dug for the purpose, when they are
either shot, or put to the sword, and tumbled in ; the
stench arising. from , this. uncovered. grave,.-is- ex-
tremely offensive fur three miles round; The• Blacks
massacre the Whites w.hcrever they nett them, and
leave them unbnrried, and the:ground in many places
is strewed with dead. bodies. •

Captain BROVVN adds, that the Batavian Fleet,
-consisting of five 74.'5, two Frigates, arid several
Transports; with sOOO Troops on board, had arriv-
ed a few days before he sailed,; that LECLERC bad
been wounded at Port-au-Prince ; that the French
'Troops had been kept almost continually within
their fortifications ; and that "several scouting par-
ties had been entirely cut off by the Blacks.

It is stated, on the -same authority, that RI a min,
who came out with- the French Army, had ,turned
traitor, and bad nearly given up .a part of.the French
Artny; but, on the eve of putting his scheme into
execution, his letters to a General in the Spanish
part• of the Island; were intercepted. Ric-Aon,
-with several of his Officerii., was immediately taken
prisoner, and put on board a 74, and sailed for
France on the stli April, to take his trial.
At the time Captain BROWN left Cape Francois,
there were at the Cape no less than 87 American ves-
sels, and of these only four had permission to sail.—
No bills or money had been gien for their cargoes,
except in one or two- instances. The one-fotirth
cash, which is paid, was barely sufficient for cash and
expences ; no specie is permitted to be exported
from the'Cape, and.several Brigs having dollars on
board have been tompeiled to re-land it, and take
coffee in its stead; so great was the demand for
money, that a vessel was on the point of being dis-
patched to the Havannah, for the express, purpose of
fetching money from that, place.
An article from Norfolk, dated April to, men-
tions,' on the authority of Captain POTTS; of the
Schooner-William, that PRV L LOU VEA T R E (hia-
ther-in-law of ToussAiwr), had 2QOO Negroes un—
der his command,' and that on the 23d of March he
was fixed in the French service.

A Charlestown Paper .01 the I;ith of April, says—
cc Capt. Hu'rett trtsoN, who arrived yesterday in
seven days'from Havanna, informs, on his arrival at
that. port, he was ordered to leave it immediately,
together, with every other American vessel there. Sc.
veral of them obeyed the order, but 'were oblige]
to return the next day. The Masters of all of them,
not only of ththe which remained in port; but
also those who returned, were taken and confined
in-jail; it being, the -determination -of 'the 'Gover-
nor tti keep the Port shot against every Ameri-
can vessel.,On the release of the. Captains • they
were threatened With a ftirther imprisonment
and fine; if they did not leave the liarbour before
three o'clock- of the same day. Provisions of
kind were very high indeed so, much were they
in want of provisions, that the Pianters• and Mer-
chants presented a joint petition, praying' the Go.
vernor to permit the sale of the- cargoes then in
port, but he indignantly.refUsed."
