these Negroes in GA:air/Sic:tie and St. Domingo have

General LECLERC has, by-his landing, discovelred
the consequences Mat may be expeded. We can
not enough refleft upon two passages in his Letter
:to the Minister of Marine.:

." The Success of our Expedition must rescue from the
" ferocious Africans that Colony, the fruit of zoo years of
" labour and prosperity, which shall long continue a strik-
ing lesson to mankind, of the •clanger of abstraaions in
-6. t. matters of Govemnievit. The Black Generals make the
" cultivators oftheir ownsolour work harder, and use them
" worse than the Whites ever did."
•

• If General LECIERC, at his, landing in the Co-
lony, expresses himself in so judicious a manner
upon the charaaer of the Negroes, and on the fatal.
consequences of their dominion, how many farther
intimations will he have to make to Government on
subjects where new lights are so important ?

France has always given the tone to Europe,' and
her superiority of all kinds, was never contested
•before the Revolution, even by rival Powers.
- Prussia and Russia- called to their Capitals the
`Philosophers •of France. Our arts were imitated
--every where. Our manufa&ures, nay our very
'modes, were carried to the ices of: the North, and
'the heats of the torrid Zone ; and there displayed

,national dignity will,follow up what the .Lrgislature
'has begun, and preserve our manners, in their otigi-

Shall resume all our advantages over the
sceptre of the Mode. Our pride, if not our desire'
of gain, will make our manufa6lurers dress the beau-

THE .MINISTRY OF MARINE:
Some Details concerning the landing of the Army
at St. Domingo, given by the Captain of the Syretze
Frigate, which brought over the Dispatches':
" Amidst the ferocious measures to which CHg Is.
TOrHE had recourse on the landing of the /limy,
there is one humane trait of one of hii soldiers,

which deserves to be mentioned :—A White having

the command of Fort Piccolet, CHRISTOPRE sent -a-
-' Black to assassinate him ; the-latter left his attend-
ants at the gate, presented himself :to the White,
:shelved him a free pasage out, and thus saved hii
life. •

" This is not the only trait, for several Ne-
groes have saved the lives of their masters : there-
is not, indeed, one White that earrbe ascertained to

ha;ie perished at the cape on that occasion. For
some time they had foreseen the ferocious cOnduCt
of CHRISTOPHE, and had secured their most Valua-
ble effeets on board the ships. in the Roads; and
several had carried their effeas ro the Mountains,
and afterwards brought thet back the day after Gen.
LECL ER.CS landing: The ships' companies and the
(mops forimately arrested the progress Of the frames.
Whole rnsga;ines have-been preserved, many houses
have remained untouched. It WAS Cli ISVM H E him-
self who set fire to the Hall of Government ; but only
one apartment was burnt. The day before the:Fr-i-
-gate sailed, the Blacks were every where surrender-
ing themselves to the adVanced posts, and deliver-
ing up 'their arms to Gtlltral lIECLERC. sth
Demi-brigade belonging to TotA.A.INT, had given
notice that they were' to -conie'to surrender them-
selves in a body.
" The news of the Peace had not been proclaiM_
ed at St. Dorni)rga-., ToussArx-r had even forbid it
to be spoken of.
For some time he had-been in extreme anxiety,
as appears by the following Letter to a young
Officer r

" I have received your Letter, Citizen—l hpe some-
• thing else to•occupy my attention than my promises to you.
