LONDON, JUNE 16, 18oz.

THIS morning we received Paris Papers of the
13th inst. The Moniteur contains the details of
the important event which we yesterday commu-
nicated, viz. the surrender of ToussAINT, which
• •
it appears was made to General LECLERC, without
any other condition than the promise of pardon.
The Qeneral, after accepting his submission, or-
dered him to repair to a Plantation near Gonaives,
and not to depart from thence without permis-
sion from himself. The immediate cause of
the submission of TOUSSAINT appears to have
been the desertion of CFI/LISTON-IE, who, after
ome negociation, had joined General LECLERC,
and delivered up the troops under his command.
With respect to the Black Soldiers, General LE-
CLERC intimates an intention of incorporating such
of them as he shall think ought to be continued in
Arms, with the Colonial Troops. The General
notices the discontent of the Americans at the

measures taken by him en hi's arrival in t.. 4
Island, respeeting their Vessels; but contends- that
they are wrong; and accuses in turn, the Amer'"
can Agents of inspiring TOUSSAINT with not ele
best digposition towards France. rill the ey.ertinns
of the General will now, it appears, be directed to
the re-establishment of the Commerce of the Isla e'
and the restoration of it to its former situation. It
doesnotappeaffrom the dispatches, that any Struck
gle ensued- on the part of the Insurgents, in conse-
quence of the defeaion of their Leaders.

the National Debt, and gives a List of above 4q
Vessels laden with grain, w.hich have arrived °

It is with such pleasure we find from an article
dated Stockholm, May 2;St, that the Treaty 6f

.cause to disputes Will be

MINISTRY.OF THE MARINt
AkMY OF ST. DOMINGO.

THE GENERAL
IN CHiEF TO THE MINISTEit OF

THE MARINE AND COLONIES.
" Head-Quarters at the Cape, Alf. 8, /802.

CITIZEN MINISTER,
" I HASTEN to send to you Citizen BRUTERES, my Aid-
du-Camp, to inform you oFthe happy event of the re-estab-
lishment of tranquillity in this immense and beautiful
Colony.
" You have rerbived Dispatches containing the details of

the military events which took place during the latter
end of March and the beginning of April. Beaten every
where, and dispersed, terror establishdd itself in the camps
br the Rebels, who were without Magazines, almost without
Powder, and who were reduced to live upon Bananas.
" The arrival of the Squadrons from Flushing and Havre
gaye the last blow to the rebel power.
" CHR isT or tr E informed me that he had always been a
friend to the Whites, whom he admired; that all the Euro-
peans who had been at St. Domingo could attest his prin-
ciples and his Condud ; that imperious circumstances, which
often decide the conduct of Public Men, had not left him at
liberty to pursue that line of conduet which he wished; and,

lastly, he desired to know if there was still any safely for
him ?—I replied, that with the French People there was al-
,' !ways a door open to repentance; •that it was the constant ha=
bit of the First Consul to weigh the aaions of men, and that
one Crime alone, whatever might be its consequences, would
never efface from his mind, services performed ; that it was
true, that the instrudions I had received previous to my de-
' parture, were persOnodly favourable to him ; and lastly, that
if he chose to place himself at my discretion, he should
have reason to be satisfied.
",He still hesitated : several Columns were ready to at-
tack him ; and some slight rencontres took place. At
length, Cup :STOP!! n informed me that I had not sent to
him any Orders: I directed him to repair alone to the Cape;
tosend thither all. the Cultivators who were still with him,
. and to assemble all the Troops who were under his orders.
All this he punctually executed. More than aOOO Inhabitants
of the Cape, who were in the most distant hills; have re-

turned. His Magazines and Artillery arc in our possession,
rand about 'zoo Soldiers who were under his command, arc
united to our Troops. A part of them have been disarmed,
and sent back to culture ; and the remainder I propose to in-
corporate with the Colonial Troops.
" The submission of Cita T STOPHE completed the con-
sternation of Touss A :s T. He employed every means to
infc7M me of the unfortunate situation in which he found
himself, and how much he saw with pain, that he was con-
tinuing a War without objea, and without end. He.added,
Mai circumstances the most unfortunate, had already occa-
sioned many evils, but that notwithStanding the force of the
French army, he was still strongenough to ravage and de.,
stroy the Country, and to sell dearly a life, which hid been
.Dinetimesuseful to the Mother Country.
" These communications, frequently reiterated, gave rise
to the most serious refleCtiens in my. mind.
" Three-fourths of the Colony had still escaped the

Miseries of desolation ; and Touss A INT and the Blacks,
although they had ravaged a part*of the Country, and carried
en the War with extreme barbarity, had never seen France,
had never received during twelve years, any other than false
ideas of our strength and our. chara&cr.
"I informed To USS A x sr, that if he would repair to the
Cape, pardon might yet be extended to him.
Touss AINT did not hesitate to profit by the permission
1 had given to hint : he came to me, solicited for • pardon,
and stvore to be faithful to France. I accepted his submis-
sion, and ordered him to repair to a Plantation near Gonaives,
411(.1 nut to depart from it without my permission.
`‘ I have placed Dkas A.LINF.S ill a Plantation near Saint
Marc.

" All the' Cultivators who had been carried off; have re-
turned. 1 have incorporated with the Colonial Troops, as
Inany of the Black Soldiers as I thought mighube allowed to
continue under arms.

'4, The Maga'zincs, and the pieces of Artillery which had
been drawn up steep rocks, and hidden in the most secret
places,. are daily delivered up to us : there are still more than
44 hundred remaining.

A new epoch commences : You will see by the Arretes,
and the measures which I have taken, that ►ve are occupied
With activity in organizing the Administration of the Country.

" The bad season has commenced, but the repose which
'lll' Troops will now experience, will enable us to go through
It with the least possible loss. We have abundance of p 50.4431011;,
.4431011;, thanks to your care..

Health and rcspra,
(S4lncd) LEC.LERC."
