N. 4 S' SA U, (N. P.)

On Monday arrived off the Bar the American
brig Warren, Capt. EDDY, five days from Cape
Francois. Capt. E. informed us that 8000 Troops,
and five sail of men of war had arrived at the Cape
on the sth instant ; that the day after their arrival,
the Negroes, headed by TOUSSAINT'S sons, who had
joined them, stormed a Fart not far from the Cape,
and killed every Frenchman in it. The evening
previous to Capt. E.'s sailing, an engagement took
place so near the town, that the report of the guns
was distinEtly heard by the people on board the ves-
sels in the Harbour. The event was not known.
The French Troops continued very sickly, particu.
larly those last arrived from France.

Provisions were very low at the Cape—flour sold
as low as 4.5. per barrel.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM FARTS, OCT. t 4,.
" In tm, last, I cotnmunicated some fans respeling
the tondun of certain of our Countrymen in Paris,
not very creditable to the National Cbaraaer, and
in no wise correspondent with the opinion their
Party entertain of their good sense, talents, and
acquirements. That their deportment has not tend-
ed to exalt them in the eyes of the Parisians, and
still less procured them the esteem and homage of
!en in power, is evident from the following cir.
tumstanee, the authenticity of which I can vouch
for, and which you need feel no hesitation in lay.

" About a week ago, Mr.LTVING•TON, the Arne.

rican rvliniszer, gave a grand dinner, to which Mr.
and Mrs. Fox, Mr. ADAIR, Gen. FITZPATRICK,
and all the Leaders of Opposition at present resident
in Paris were invited. Cards of invitition were
likewise sent to Mons. and Mad. TALLEVRAND,
Ge). Dußoe and his Lady, and to Gen. ANDRE-
-0551, le -ew Ambassador from the French Repub-
lic to the British Court. Seven o'clock was the
appointed hour for dinner, hut not one of the French
Party had arrived at that hour. The Company
Were kept waiting upwards of an hour, when none
of the Diplomatic Guests making their appearance,

Without their giving themselves the trouble to send
an apology for die disappointment.
" Among the numerous presentations to the F r Rsr
%-osistat., on die day of the last Parade, ( tch Ven.
elemiaire, Oa. 7), were more than an ordinary pro-
_ portion of English Barristers and Lawyers. Next
to Lord CARH.‘MrTON, Mr. M--K-1-1 was intro.

Came the justly renowned and celebrated Mr. ROB-
• BONAPARTE repeated his question with visi-
ble pertinency and meaning, " Un Avocat aussi ?"
Mr. MERRY replied in the Negative, informing
the FIRST CONSUL, that the Gentleman whom he
had now the honour of introducing to his notice,
Was a Member of the British Parliament. "So
much the better," retorted BoteAPARTe with a

Then addressing himself to Mr. RonsoN, " POW

triumph) answered in the affirmative—" ilow did

" No !" instantly retorted RousoN, " I never

utterly at a loss to comprehend the term ; at length,
after the necessary explanation, he informed the
FIRST CONSUL, that he held a seat in the Senate,
not by intrigue, hut in virtue of his Property and
Estates. " Ab! ah replied BONAPARTE shrewd..
ly, " that. ateoriNts for ;t."

affirmative. " You don't look well, Sir," Conti.
Hoed BONAPARTE, " Is it the women of Egupt, or
• French Ladies, that have made you ill ?"
" It is a matter of gr-at surprize, and must appear
so to all intelligent Frenchmen, that the English
Patriots form a most curious and incongruous con_
flexion on their arrival in France. Thus, Mr. Fox,
for instance, instead of courting the company of
Men of Science, runs after the most notorious fe-
male intriguers, or else associates himself with per.
sons of blasted reputation, like AV/FJI O'CoN.
Hots.
" He has entailed upon-himself a heavy load of
obloquy and disdain, by the expensive stile and
ostentatious manner in which he lives, and which
intelligent Frenchmen observe, plainly prove, that
he is conscious of his inability to render himself im-
portant by his own intrinsic merit. For his apart.
merits at the Hotel de Richelieu, he pays too Louis
d'Ors per month. It is expected, that he will pass
the Winter in Paris, in order to attend the Coteries
of Mad. STAEL, Mad. CONDORCET, and Mad.
Picite I te, which commence in November. Mad.
S-r Ate is at present in Switzerland, but her return
is expeCted in about a fortnight.
' Madame TALLIEN, with whom Fox has formed
such
a highly honourable connexion, resides in a
magnificent Hotel, at the expence of her two ad.
miters, the Minister G—D—N, and O—H-1),
the Contractor, in La Rue Babylon ! This name,
as might be expec'led, has given birth to many
Witty puns and epigrams, founded on a circumstance
In the Revelations, which stands in no need of ex-
plaza:ion."

The celebrated General PICHECRU, we heir, is
about to enter into the Russian Service, having
been strongly solicited thereto by the Emperor
At.tx.kNDEP:. The General has had similar over-
tures made him by some other Powers, which he
idee. lined as long as there remained any chance of
h" obtaining permission to return to his native
k.clun t ry.
