ACCOUNT OF THE EVENTS WHICH HAVE PASSED

IN THE NORTH OF EA. DOMI%-(1.4 FROM SEPT.:

7, TO NOV. 4., 1801.

Having left the Cape in order to install the.
Tribunals of Appeal and Cassation at -‘rarAies, Ge.
neral DES6AL INES took me aside to communicate to
me a letter which he had received from Gonaives..
At that -moment I received•one directeA to my-
self, which informed me of an insurreaion iii the
North. We immediately returned to the Petite.:
Riviere, at the same time -giving orders to. the 4th
dcrlii-brigade which happened .to be then at Sr.
Marc, to matc quickly as possible to Gonaives.

" Having- arrived at GorLdvcs Oct. z 4., we learnt
that the Chief Of Brigade, VERNET, had set out
for Plaisance, with a battalion of the 7th demi-bri.
gale, and a detachment of 01,2 battalion of Gonal,.es,
to which a great number of Citizens had 7oluntari.
ly joined theMselves, as well as some Members of
the,Civil Authorities.

. On the approach of General tifERNET, the re-
bels took to flight, alter having committed seveLat
outrages in the town of Plais,,nce, as-siissinaied a
number of the Citizens, and called out, as they fled
—" General MOYSE is for us !—lle is our Chien
—lt is' he who supports us
" I passed the night at the Cocherel.—At one
o'clock in the morning of the isth two companies
of my Guides arrived. At day-break I went to
Gonalves to give my last orders to General IjES--
SALINES, and immediately after I set out for the
Cantor of Loverture.

" .The.sarne day, .General DEssAtANEs, at the
.head of the first battalion of the ch. deini_t;rigade,
Marched to Plaisance, having orders to march suc-
cessively through • all the revolted parts of the
,North.

Arrived .at the town of Levert are, I there
found the Military Commandant, CLAUDE MAR.
TIN, at the head of the. Troops of the Line and the
National Guard; which, on account of its zeal, de-
serves much praise. I was highly satisfied with
the dispositions he had made. The best order was
maintained in the'town.and canton, ail was trail.
quii, and the labours of agriculture had not been for •
a moment suspended. ' The news arrived there that
the town of Marmalade had been taken by the
rebels.

" Next morning at break of day, I went to
Marmelade with two companies of the battalion of
Gonaives, commanded by Citizens JEAN CHARLES
and Coco. I: wished to leaVe the COMlllaDdialt,
CLAUDE MARTIN, at Loverture, erittusting him
with the tranquillity of that.quarter. He repliA
that he wished to folloW me; and that he was cer...
tain, that notwithstanding his absence, his quarter
Would remain in tranquillity. We soo:4 perceiVed
the rebels comingto-- reconnoitre:us; . but after the
first discharge, .they fled with incoßceivable speed.
I had given orders to kill none that could he made
ptisOners. But it was difficult to restrain the indig-
nation of my brave comrades, enraged at a concha
which might refled disgrace on themselves.
" On. the same day, 061. 26, I entered Mar.
melade. The rebels fled on all sides, towards Lod-
friere, threatening us with General IVIorsE.
" At Marmelade I received the news that Ge,
neral DESSALINES had entered. Plaisance. He in-
forMed me that his first care, on his arrival there,
had ben to re-establish order, to panish the guilty,
and to shew no mercy to those who had embrued'
their hands in blood.—They were all put to death:
" The same day I learnt from report, that Gen.
MoysE was at Dondon, and immediately after I
was informed that CHRISTOPHER SELLY, the Com-
mandant of Marmelade, had received a letter, an-
nouncing the arrival of General AiloysP. with a con-
siderable body of troops at a place named Bois pen,
about half a cannon-shot from Marmelade.

" I ordered him to come to me, and to leave his
troops where they were. When he came, I said to
him, " Every thing tends to convince me that yoU
are the author of this revolt. The Rebels every
where give out that they aft in your name. It is
for your honour to justify,- yourseif, and the first
means you ought to employ is to restore every
thing to order ; for if you be guilty, your 'rank of
a General Officer shall not save you; you shall be
punished more severely than any other person."
" I asked him how many men he had ordered to be
punished at Dondon:. .11e. replied, none. I asked
how many- he had caused co he arrested. He made
the same reply. • "'How," said I, " ne you
.Com,
mander of the Department of the North—have you
conic from a quarter ►vlierc the most horrible assassi,
nations 'ate committed, and yet have neither;.Pu-
nished nor arrested any one,? Here are your. or.
ders—Return to Dondon ; 'cause all the guilty to be
arrested, and send them under an escort to me, that
I may interrogate theM.",

time the parties proceeded to blows; one man was
thrown through the window upon a sky-light,
which gave way, and he fell into the kitchen,
much bruised, and cut in se►eral places on the

SIR,

As you like Christmas gambols,- I am tempted to
setid you- the annals of this gay neighbourhood.
Our Marquis. of HuritLy, who is the adoration of
All ranks, assembled a large party by sledges, &c.
(at the commencement of the great fall of sow in
December), in his famed house of hospitality, Huntly
Lodge. Theie they still are, happy themselves,
and diffusing happiness to all around.
- There the ancient feudal. system is, revived, of
keeping open house, with oxen, bread; and beer
for the Poor, fidlers and pipers to enliven the hall, '
and- hogsheads. of Claret and Madeira drunk from
the cask, -by all who share of his hospitable board.
- Upon HER MAJ ESTY'S birth-day, the Marquis
called out the Volunteers of Huntly, who fired in
hohour of ,the day, 'and drunk • HER MAJESTY'S
health amidst all the pomp of War. In the evening
the Marquis gave an elegant ball and supper,- where
our gracious QUE EN'S health,was drunk with three
tik w
es. three.—The dessert as ornatnented with
flags, upon which were inscribed- the' toasts to b
given—" God bless our KING and his FAMILY ;
may 'they .long reign over this land of liberty,
blessed and blessing a free and happy people."—
!' HER MAJESTY ; may she see many happy -re-
turns of this day; the brightest ornament cf her
sexliapry the man who calls her wife, happy -the
child that calls her mother."—ln the middle of the
table was a Fame representing the gzd Regiment,
with the Colours of that Corps and of the 4zd, with
•this inscription"' The gallant gay Marquis of

" The brave. 423 and 9zd, who have ever distirL.
guished themselves for honour, fidelity, and cou-
rage."- There were many other inscriptions. The
Bonny Dutchess joined in the dance with her Son ;
and only one regret was felt, that the lovely Lady
GEORGIANACOLIid but smile her approbation, hav_
jag been for some" time very unwell.
If you like my Letter, I could send you -many
ay-scenes that took place during the festivity of
this Noble Party, among which were horse-races'6l

of Huntly, by the MarqUis, Lord ERs O.Ly and Sir

TO THT EDITOR OF 74HE SUN.

SIR,

I have seen a Letter in your Paper, stating some
of the particulars of a late shipwreck near Holyhead,
in which much praise is given to Captain SKINNEk
for his-exertions on that occasion, and it is added,
that " he was the- only person of the Profession
who remained all night with lights upon the rocks."
Here is a lurking mischief in this account which' de:.
serves to be exposed, as it tends to propagate what
is false, by a concealment of truth : let the truth
then be told.---Of the four other Commanders of
Packets upon this station, who.are thus invidiously
exhibited to the public, try...o * were absent on duty ;
the + others were present at the period alluded
to and it is no detraction from the merit of Captain
SKINNER to state, that they were among the first
anal the last upon the beach, when the vessel came
on shore, and equally aCtive with himself in render-
ing every assistance in their power. upon an oc_
casion of this nature, I cannot think it right to par_
ricularize individual exertions, from considerations
ofdelicacy (which the writer of the letter in ques-
tion. seems not to hate understood), towards the in-
dividualohemselves. The whole ship's company
was saved ; and those who hazardtd their lives in
the attempt, or who, in any degree, contributed to
its success, have higher gratification from their own
feelings than mere praise can bestow.
I am, Sir,

about seven leagues distant. The objed of the
'Mutineers was'to run to Cayenne, and there to sell
the ship, and with this view they gave the direc-
tion of her to the Boatswain, being themselves ig-
norant of navigation. Seven of the Mutineers,
however, fearing they might fall in with a British
Ship of War on their passage, some days after took -
another boat, and made for the Coast ; but from the
surf on the beach, or in the event of their sur-
mounting it, the savage state of the Inhabitants,
there is little probability of their long surviving.
The Boatswain and Carpenter, although seeming to
aft in concert with the 'Mutineers, resolved to re_
. cover the vessel for the owners, and instead of
standing for Cayenne, direded their course towards
Barbadoes, which they discovered on the z6th No-
vember, and falling in with the Borne, of i 6 guns,
'were carried into Carlisle Bay. Copeland the Sur-
geon, Carr the Gunner, and Lewis the Seaman,
