• The Enemy already occupied this Crete by a redoubt.

" General Roc HAMBEA u, after-having dismounted the
Enemy's cannon by the superior fire of his artillery, marched
to attack tie Redoubt, but the Enemy having sheltered,
themselves from all attack by an abattis of logwood ten feet
deep and three in height, I contented myself with making
a cannonade, and keeping up the blockade.

. _
4! In the meantime General HARDY arriving at Mout&
Nolb, encountered Gen. DassALlNES,whohad left La Crete
a Pierrot by night, with an intention to attack .our rear.
DEPLANQUES, General of Brigade, who commanded Gen.
n RDy 's advanced guard, fell suddenly upon DESSALINES,
killed too of his men, and repulsed him with vigour.—
General HARDY pursued DESSALINES, completely cut off
his communication -with Fort Crete a Pierrot, and drove
him over the Mountains. This movement was well executed
by the Brigades of LANCE and•VzNDE-WE inr.
" From the 2.2 d to the 24th of March, we bombarded the
Fort vigorously, and several times set fire to it.
On the z4th, at eight o'clock in the evening, the -Ene-
my made a sortie on our right, and attempted to penetrate
our lines by the way of Artibonite, between the. Corps of
ROCISAMBEAU and a reserve which I had placed under the
orders of Alcf-de-Camp BURKE, on the left of Artibonite.

The wretched men who made this attack were all put to the
&word. We fofind in the Fort a magazine of powder, D s-
baggage, his band of music, a number of fusils,
and is pieces of cannon. ,

" lie Enemy lost in these Engagements upwards of 3000
men ; but they fought, with mere resolution behind the
walls than in the open plala.

" (fir loss'has been considerable, and we- have had soo
men killed or wounded in these several Adions.
" TOUSS A I NT, however, after having been 'defeated at
Gonaives in the latter end of February,;fetired into the
woods with only soo men. During the time that Our Army
was engaged with DES s A LINES he recovered from his first
panic, -and joining another pally of Soo men, elnded A junc-
tion with C FIR I sT o r 11E'. who had preserved 306 men, and

conceived the.projea of putting into a state bf insurreEtion
the Department of the North. He preSented.himself at
Plaisance to attack Gen. DES FOURNEAUX, who vigorously
repulsed him.

" To ussA zwr was no ways disheartened ; he departed,
and proceeding to Isondon and La Marmalade, caused an in-,
surreelion amongst a part of the Cultivators of ihe North,
and presented himselt before the Cape. If the succours
from Flushing and Havre had then arrived, the Inhabitants
of the North would have been at ease, but knowing that
there was but a weal: 'Garrison at the Cape, and deceived by
the false reports,which To ossit z NT had caused to be spread;
theSe unfortunate Planters became again his vi dims. Gene..
ral BOYER kept the Enemy at a certain distance from the
Town by means of frequent sorties, and the Cape at least did
not experience ani ill consequences.

" General HARDY set off to-day from La Crate A Piertot,
to take cantonments in the Department of the North.

" General Roc HAMBEAO is in march towards Gonaivt:s,
in which Canton TOUSSAINT is at present.

" I hope that the Divisions of Flushing and Havre, and
those which you announced from Brest and Toulon, will
shortly arrive. They will be highly useful to us, in ena-
bling us to occupy cantonments in all the points of this vast
'Colony, which is the only means in our power of re-esta-
blishing order and tranquillity. Although we have been con-
tinually marching for 40 days) we are determined still to
march, and not to leave the Enemy time to breathe.
:"
The ferocity of ToussA INT is 'inconceivable : he has
destroyed more than zo,ooo Inhabitants, Whites, Blacks, and
Mulattoes. We have in our differents Expeditions released
more than 8000 individuals, men and women, whom he pro-
posed also to destroy. , ,

" Neither of the wounded Generals is mortally wounded.
I cannot too highly praise their zeal, or pronounce too warm
an eulogium on the Army. •

TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE, GOVERNOR OF ST. DO-
/vIINGO, TO CITIZEN DOMACE, GENERAL OF
BRIGADE, COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE
CIRCLE OF JEREMIE.
" Head,quarters at St. Mare, Feb. 9, 1802.
" I send after you, any dear General, my Aid-dc-Camp
CHANiY; he is the bearer of this letter, and hefril I also in-
form you of some commissions to you with which 1 have
entrusted him. The Whites of France and of the Colony
have united to deprive,us of liberty. A number of vessels
have arrived, and made themselves masters of the Cape, Port
Rebublicain, and Fort Libert6.

The Cape, after a vigorous resistance, at lasi fell ; but
the Enemy found nothing there but the ruins rye a City, and
a plain covered with ashes. The Forts have been destroyed,
and the whole delivered up to, thp flames.

"" The Town of Port Republieain has been given up by the
traitor, General of Brigade AGE, as also Fort Bizdon, which
was delivered up without a blow, through the cowardice and
treachery of BARDET, Chief of Battalion, an Officer of the
South. DESSALINES, General of Division, maintains at this
moment a .cordon at Croix de BouquetS, and all our other
quarters lire ori the defensive.

" As Fort Jercmie is extremely strong by its natural ad,
vantages, you will maintain yourself there, and defend it
with all that courage which I know you to possess.
" Distrust the Whites i they will betray you if they can ;
their manifest desire is to restore Slavery.

" In consequence, I give you full powers to do. what you
judge to be best ; raise the Cultivators in a mass, and eon-
Vince them, that they ought to beware of all such as maybe
the secret friends of France, and who wish to seduce them
from the Cause of Liberty.
" I have commanded General I. APLUMk to burn the
Town of Cayes, as well as all the other villages, 'and the
plains, if they shall be found not in a condition to resist the
Enemy; and all the Troops of the different Garrisons and
all the Cultivators should in that case join you at je
remie. -You will consult with General LAPLUME, what
is best to be done. It will be proper to employ all the Fe-
male Cultivators in raising provisions in great quantities. •
Endeavour as much aS may be in your power to inform
me of yourylisition.

.f I have the utmost reliance upon you, and leave it com-
pletely at your own discretion, to do every thing which you
may think will be subservient to the great cause of delivering
us from the Most fearful yoke.
" Health and Friendship,

ADMIRAL VILLARET JOYEUSE TO THE MINISTER

OF THE MAkINE AND THE COLONIES,
" In the Road of Cape Prancais, on hoard the
Le Jemappe, April.B.

CITIZEN MINISTER,
" The conquest and the restoration- of St. Domingo are
the great objecis of public, interest, to which I.was ordered
to dire& all the movements of the Naval Force. The
Marine has not to the present moment negleaed any thing
to accomplish that important end. All the, Ports of the
Colony have submitted, all the Coast is guarded by our
'Troops, our Maritime communications are easy at ail points,
and those of the Rebels impossible. It is in the Interior
of the Island, in the midst even ofmountains, that the War
is established. '

[The Admiral then proceeds to describe some of the mili-
tary-operations, Which are more fully detailed in the Letter
of General I.EcLzR.c, and which we therefore consider it un.
necessary to repeat.]
" The Division of Rear-Admiral LA TOUCHE continues its
station at Port- Republicain,' and on all the important points
of the West and the South. The General came himself to
the Cape on the 9th March, to concert with me as to the
operations which are conAded to him. The Pilot whom
we had taken at Port Republicain caused the Fou-
•droyant to run upon the rocks, and the Republic had
nearly lost ofie of her finest Ships. Happily the adi-
vity of the Officers saved the vessel from the danger in
which the want of skill of the Pilot had placed it. The
Pilot was in consequence cashiered. The vessel departs
immediately for Port Republicain, where General LA-
TOUCHE returned two days after this accident. The Ship le
jean Bart conveyed him thither, with Madame LECL ER c and
several Officers of the Etat Major.

" The Ships Le Zele, Le Tourville, and he Swiftsure,
arrived at the Cape on the z3d, 3oth, and 31st of. March.
The Frigates from ilavrF,entered on t'he z7th, zlith, and zgth
of the. same month. These different vessels have disembarked
about 3000 men, whose arrival has given great pleasure to the.
Army, and will complete the consternation of the Brigands.
" The flute le Rhinoceros, and the galliot la Decouverte,
which left France With the Naval Arinament, arrived here
on the-z9th and 3oth of March, after making a long stay at
Coruna and Ferrol.

• Captain MEV NNE, commanding the Frigate-l'lndefati.

here• without ;accident; and with Very few sick. It has
disembarked 2500 men, which will render the force of the
Army more than sufficient. I shall. send oTthe vessels of our
