PROCLAMATION BY GENERAL LECLERC, GENE-
RAL IN CHIEF OF THE ARMY OF ST. vu_

MINGO.

"'Dated Head-Ziarters at the capes VW Pluviose,
( Februaty 16).

" I am come here in the name of the French Government,
bearing to you peace and good wishes. I feared to be en-
countered by obstacles arising from the ambitious views of
the Chiefs of the Colony, and I am not disappointed. They
who announced their devotion to France in their Proclama-
tions, thought of nothing less than acing as Frenchmen. If
they sometimes spoke of France, it was because their plans
were not sufficiently matured openly to disavow it.
" Yesterday, their perfidious intentions were unmasked.
General TOUSSAINT sent me his Children, with a Letter,
in which he assures me, that there was nothing he so much
desired as the prosperity of the Colony, and that he was
ready to obey all the orders that I should give him. I or-
dered him to come before me, and gave him my word, that
I would employ him as my Lieutenant-General : He did not
reply to this order, further than by phrases, which were
only designed to gain time. My orders from the French Go-
vernment are, that I promptly restore prosperity and abund-
ance. If I suffer myself to be amused by crafty and perfi-
dious artifices, the Colony will be the theatre of a long Civil
War.

" I advance into the Country, and am about to manifest
to this Rebel, the force of the French Government. It can
be 'no longer necessary to prove to all good Frenchmen, inha-
biting St. Domingo, what an insensible Monster he is.
promise Liberty to the people of this Island—l shall make
them rejoice, and I will respe& their persons and property.
" I order as follows :

ART. I. That General ToussAt Nr and General Crt
sr °raiz, are put out of the protection of the Law—all
Citizens are ordered to pursue them, and to treat them as
Rebels to the French Republic.
11. From the day on which the French A►my shall oc-
cupy a position, all Officers, whether Civil or Military,
who shall obey other orders than those of the Generals of the
Army which I command, shall be treated as Rebels.

Ili. The Cultivators who, seduced into error, and de-
ceived by the perfidious insinuations of the Rebel Generals,
may have taken arms, shall be considered as Children who
have strayed, and shall be sent to their plantations, provided
they do not seek to excite insurrection.
IV. The Soldiers of the Demi-Brigades, who shall aban-
don the Army of TOUSSAINT, shall be received into the
'French Army.
V. The General Au cUSTIN CL ERV AUX, who command-
ed in the Department of Cibao, having acknowledged the
French Government, and the authority of the Captain-Ge-
neral, is continued in his Rank and in his Command.

VI. The General, Chief of the Staff', shall print and pub-
lish this Proclamation.

ADMIRAL VILLARET JOYEUSE, TO M. L'ADMIRAL
COMMANDING THE FORCES OF HIS BRITANNIC
MAJESTY AT JAMAICA.
" Dated on board L'Ocean, in the Road of Cape
" Franrais, 26 Pluviose, (14 Feb.)
"M. Admiral,—l hasten to announce to you, that a Fleet
of the French Republic has entered in the Ports of St. Do-
mingo. The revolted Negroes have received us with fire and
sword, and the City of the Cape has been reduced to ashes,
but the Plain and the neighbouring-Country have been saved
by the aaivity of the Troops, and the precipitate flight of
the Rebels. A powerful Force will at last re-establish in
this Colo❑y, the form of Government prescribed by the laws
of the Mother Country, and to protel those principles which
alone can preserve, and upon which reposes the common in-
terest of all the European -Powers in their establishments in
the Antilles.

" The importance and utility of these views, added to tlui
happy establishment of Peace between France and England,
give me full assurance, Sir, that the Rebels will no where
find an asylum; and that the Colony being declared in a state
of Siege, no Armed Vessel will snew its,elt before those Ports
which the Rebels could occupy. The obstinate resistance
which they opposed to us in diderent points, in spite of their
continued defeats, is evidently the result of a Plan of General
Insurre6.lion, confirmed by the events which have occurred
at G uadaloupe, and by the intelligence, received from Marti-
nique, Tobago, Grenada, and Dominica, the consequences to
'all European Governments would be equally disastrous, if
the focus of revolt was not speedily smothered. But the
French Army is already in possession of the Cape, Fort of
Liberty, the Fort de Pam, La Tortue, and Fort Republicain,
and is perfettly sure of all the part formerly belonging to
Spain, of which the most important points have been con-
quered, and every thing promises us complete success, it; as
this Army is infitled to expect, it can hod in the event of
necessity, that assistance from her neighbours, which un-
foreseen circumstances may force it to claim.
" The disposition of the Cabinet of St. James's and the
known loyalty of your nation, Sir, permit me to hope, that
the ports of Jamaica will furnish us (should circumstances
demand it, and should you be abundantly provided) with pro-
visions and ammunition. One of the Ministers of iris Britan-
nic Majesty has said, that the peace just concluded, was not
an ordinary peace, but a sincere reconciliation of the two
greatest nations in the world ; if it depends on me, Sir, this
happy prognostic will certainly be verified ; at least I am
pleased to imagine, that our pacific communications will be
worthy of two nations, to whom war has only multiplied the
reciprocal reasons which they had to esteem each other; and
to give you authentic proof of our confidence, I lay before
you a faithful statement of our forces 'in the ports of St. Do-
mingo.
" Since the 16 Pluviose, (4th Feb.) twenty-five sail of
the line have entered these ports ; five, of diem which were
Spanish have already sailed for the Havanah. These twenty-
five vessels, amongst which, three were entirely transports
and consequently without guns, have brought, with several
frigates arm& en flute, about s x TEEN THOUSAND MEN. I
am every moment in expectation of six more sail of the line,
three of them Batavians, intended to be sent to their own
establishments. These divisions arc also to bring five or six
thousand troops more; other corps are destined to follow
them. I shall. send almost immediately most of the Flutes
with six or seven vessels back to France.

" Your Excellency, I hope, will sec, in this frank and
loyal communication, that all the armammts of the French
Government, have now no other aini, but to re-establish
public security, and to consolidate the great work of a gene-
ral pacification. Receive, Sir, the assurances of my high
consideration.

ADMIRAL VILLARET JOYEUSE TO THE MINISTER.
OF THE MARINE AND THE COLONIES AT PARIS.
Harbour of Cape Francais on board
- the Ocean, Feb. 16, Ao2.
" CITIZEN MINISTER,

" I return to the account of the operations of the fleet,
of which I began to speak in my dispatch of the ztst Plu-
viose ; amidst the accumulated events which have followed,
it were impossible to write a detailed and minute relation of
all that has passed since that period ; but I include in my
recitals, without the omission of one essential circumstance,
the whole of our operations ; and I trust the First Consul
will discover the same activity and zeal to second the de,
signs of the army, and the same desire to share their labours,
their glory, and their dangers.
" You already know, Citizen Minister, what have been
the services of the two divisions of the fleet employed at the
Cape and at Fort Liberty ; a third under the command of Rear
Admiral L Aro': ex E. was destined to assist in the attack of
Fort Republican'. This Admiral presented himself the istli
February I he. was preceded by the frigate La Guerriere, to
sound the dispositions of the Commandant, to whom the
Aid-de-Camp of Gen. Bo on cor (Citizen S A BES) presented
conciliatory letters, and the Proclamation of the Consuls.
Instead of an answer, the Blacks arrested this Officer, as
also the first Lieutenant of La Guerriere, and all the equi-
page of the boat. They imprisoned the White General
Aoz and another of the Of ; put all the Whites under
arrest; and sent on board the frigate an Officer of their own,
the bearer of a letter for General Bounar, in which ACE
advised to suspend the attack, and the debarkment of the
troops, until the arrival of the Black General DESSAL !Nes.
Him they expected late at night, aii.l the bearer of the letter
unequivocally asserted, that the entrance of the fleet into
the harbour, was to be the signal for setting the town on,
fire and the massacre of all the Whites.

" You observe, Citizen Minister, that through the whole
of the atiltir, their conduct has been insolent, and their lan-
guage audacious. This news canie to General Pio LIDET and
Rear Admiral LATOUCHE, in the afternoon Of tie tsin
February. The wind w•ac contrary, and also too violent fox:

1)i to .ayleoac the ilatoitt. hkrirs Chiefs Wet at 01444
lest the wc4ht should produce some disorder or mizfortur..
The fleet then began to anchor at Lionctitinl before Fort Bi.
zaton ; Where they discovered a nuhtbdr of people-, and tir
Black armies.

" During this unavoidable delav, a second letter was dish
patched to the Commander of Fort Republicain, assuring
liiin of the good intentions of the Government, so clearly
explained in the First Consul's Proclamation, and in order to
reclaim the Officers who were detained : To this; no reply
was returned.

" The tsth, in the mornings all hope of their sUbmission
was Overthrown ; the debark inent was executed in a manner
the most skilful and orderly. Rear-Admiral LATOIOCHE
had construded, during the night, armed rafts for the artil-
lery. Two Vessels were stationed under Fort Bizoton, end
two Frigates were placed so as to protect the dehnkoteht.
The Fort was evacuated without resistance; and ise Black -I
Greaadiers joined themselves to our Troops. General Boo-
nET immediately marched up the Town, and the Fleet quit-
ting 4 with equal celerity, the anchorage off Larnentin, en-
tered the Harbour, and came within half a musket shot of
the barrier. The General still offered pardon and the favour
of the Government to the Rebels. They answered Win by a
continual fire of cannon, howitzers, and musketry. The
chief of his Staffand two of his Aid-de-Camps were Wound-
ed by his side, as also a considerable number of our brave
Soldiers. The Argonaut then began to fire upon the Enemy ;
but the Crenadiers of the 68th rushing upon their intrench-
ments, put them to the bayonet, and penetrated into the
Town, where the Engagement continued some time with in-,
veterate obstinacy. The Fort St. Joseph was carried 'in the
same manner as the intrenchments. At seven o'clock Gene-
ral BOUDET was entire master of the Town and all the
Forts, except Fort National, which the Blacks evacuated on
the morning of the 17th, without striking a single blow.—
Our loss is to killed and 80 wounded.

" Whilst these events occurred at Port Republicain, the
Captain-General sent General HUMBERT Wllh zoo men to
Port-au-Paix : the .Vessel. La Watigny, Captain Goe it DON ;
the Frigates La Clorinde and La Furieuse carried the Troops,
and seconded their operations. Here, as every where, Peace
was offered to the Rebels before the employment of force.
The Messenger who took (the loth February) the Proclama-
tion of the Government to the Black General MAUR ErAS,
with the request that they would receive the French .4eitea-
bly, was repulsed by the firing of cannon; it was atvolutely
necessary to have recourse to War. It was five in the after-
noon ; a heavy gale of wind made it necessary to debark as
speedily as possible; the Commandant, GOURDON, was
compelled to tack all the night in the narrow canal of La
Tortue, embarrassed in his manceuvres by the number of
Troops he had with him, deceived by the ignorance of Pilots,
and under the necessity of sacrificing a cable and an anchor,
by which his Vessel was left at the mercy of the tempest,
and his mission failed of its effete}.
" The 21st, at break of day, the debarkmcnt was effected,
notwithstanding the fire from the Forts and the Black
Troops. The Frigate La Clorinde, which was along-side
the shore, tbr the purpose of assisting the Army, received
some shot on board,- and La Watigny being sent to the sides
of the Harbour to silence the Grand Fort, which the Blacks
abandoned in disorder, without having time to destroy any thing
—some fine barracks, much powder, and s-ene other ammuni-
tion were found ; but no sooner had the aai Corps of Troops
touched the shore, than the Blacks leapt over the two other
Forts, and set fire to the Town. A detachment of an hun-
dred armed Sailors, and the Officers of the Fleet, distin-
guished themselves in a manner worthy of the highest praise.
Lieutenant MEsoz, of the Artillery, tnsign BORDENBACH,•
and the brave GEL is, were killed : the Ship-Lieutenant
LIVENARD, and Lieutenant KOSAMEL, of the Artillery,
were severely wounded. Two noble fellows, Pi co r LA-
YEYROUSE and LE Go t. i As, shewed singular bravery in fight-
ing at the head of the Detachment ; the latter received a ball,
which went through his wrist. I have recommended to the
General Officers, and all the Commanders, to employ on all
occasions the young men, who are the hope of our Fleet ;
every where they signalized themselves by a glorious brave-
ry, and a devotedness without example.
" The Division of Rear-Admiral CA NT lIEAUME having
arrived at the Cape the 22d February, I sent the next day
the Vessel Le Jean Bart, with aoo men, for the Purt-au-
Paix. Two days before, I had dispatched La Alignone to
Rear-Admiral M noou. This Officer continues to render
essential service by his information and activity. The Cap-
tain-General intrusted to him the command of the Army,
which he united with that of the Division stationed at Fort
Lii-perte. Notwithstanding the weakness of his means, he
defended a large extent of Country, where order and tranquil-
lity were preserved, where the Cultivators themselves pur.
sued the Incendiaries, and contrived to furnish the Army
with some advantageous resources ; but he did not here con-
fine his services ; by his care the Mulatto General CLER.
VAU X, who commanded at St. Yago, in the Department of
Cibao, was brought over from the side of the Rebels. M A 11-
V ILL E, the Bishop, was the Mediator of this happy negotiat
tion. All the important points on the part of the French
were at this period made subservient to the force of the Re-
public ; the Rebels possessed nothing in comparison, and
the Engagement did not commence till the 17th February.
Fight days sufficed for the whole of the operations, which
presented a mass of fortunate results, and guaranteed to
France, in a very short period, the conquest and possession
of her finest Colony. . . _

" Every day augmented our resources and diminished our
dangers. We found two millions three hundred thousand
livres in the coffers of Port au Prince; this, however, was
of tittle importance, had we not discovered an instance of
dissimulation and hypocrisy, which nothing could disconcert :
Toussnthr Lo UVERTURE had the audacity to require that
this sum should he returned. On all sides we hear com-
plaints against this obstinate man : he is detested in the
Spanish part. Seven hundred Mulattoes, refugees from the
Island of Cuba, have begged to join against him; these
were men devoted to General RI GAUD: the' dispatch-boat
Le Tricolore, which had been forced to put into St. Yago de
Cuba, brought the intelligence of their desire : 1 appointed,
at the request of the General in Chief; the frigates La Creole
and L'lndienne to bring them hither: this last frigate, which
set out from Cadiz four dayi' after Rear-Admiral Llxo s'
division, arrived here in r.wenty-four hours after him.
" The 26th, the General appeared in sight of the Cape,
with three Vessels and two Frigates. Judge, Citizen Mini-
ster, of my extreme surprize and regret in seeing this Divi-
sion lay to, at two cables distance from the entrance of the
Harbour, by a breeze at N. E. which would not permit the
Pilots to approach. Admiral Li NO Is discovered too late the
danger of his position, and tacking against the wind, he made
the signal for his Division to imitate his manoeuvre, but the
Vessels Le Desaix, and Le St. Genare, could not execute
the movement with sufficient promptitude, and touched on
the brets,l,:ers :—All the assistance which the Fleet could
possibly give, was afforded with the utmost adivity. Le
Saint Genare, after having lost her rudder, only made nine
inches of water. (Yesterday it was said 25 inches.) By an
immediate repair she will therefore be again serviceable to the
Republic. The Dessaix was almost filled with water an
hour after the accident, and the water increased every minute.
" I went to the spot with Citizen My , Chief of the
Naval Staff, Adjutant CORDIER., and Citizen PETIT, who
all, in directing the assistance, discovered equal knowledge
and zeal. Captain P A r.t.t F.R E, although greatly affeCted by
his misfortune, kept good order on board his Vessel. All
the Troops were disembarked in safety : we have not to re-
gret the loss of a single man, and have saved the rigging and
materials of the Ship. The Frigate La Cornetie set out for
Jamaica the 27th February, and La Bayonnaise has sailed
this day, the 28th, for the United States. I have this instant
received the following Dispatch from Captain
_Go ex Dos,
Commandant of the Fleet at Port au Paix :

Agreeable to the orders which I received from Captain
Goußa Ees, on your part, I sent out the Frigate La Furieuse
for Le Mole Saint Nicholas, with instrudions agreeable to
those you have prescribed.
At the moment of its departure there arrived here a nu-
merous Deputation, consisting of Blacks and Whites, from
the Commune of IEAN R A rit Lt., bringing a Yetitioa signed
by a great number of Citizens who offered to submit without
striking a blow, and begged the did of Troops to second and
assist the entrance of the Frigate into the Mole. General
Hum axa T has consented to supply them with too men of
the Marine Artillery, which the Frigate may leave at lean
Rahell : she is next to present herself before tile Mole, and
fulfil exactly the orders I have given them on your parts I
have forwarded from hence a Messinger to observe these in-
portant points.. He is this day returned with satisfadory
tokens.'

" This information, Citizen Minister, gives us reason to
hope that in a le* days we shall occupy Le Mole Sr. Nicho-
las, and you well know how to appreciate the importance ul
this position.
" Accept, Citizen Minister, the assurance of my resne6l.

On Saturday the zoth instant; the Court of Ex,
chequer in Ireland, finally pronounced judgment in
the long-contested cause for a considerable estate in
the Counties of Kildare and Meath, in which the late
Sir DUKE GIFFARD, Bart. was Plaintiff, and Sir
JOHN Hoß'r, of Hortland, in the County of
dare, Bart. was Defendant; by unanimously dis-
missing the Plaintiff's Bill; &c. The original pro-
ceedings commenced as long ago the year 175 z.
In consequence of information given at the Man,.
sion House, a party of the city Officers went on
Thursday last to a house in Huggin-lane, Thames..
street, where they found all the implements for car,
Tying on a private distillery, which they seized.--
The offenders had made their escape only one old.
man was found there, who is to be prosecuted by
the Commissioners of Excise.

Mr. DAv t Es, of Guildford.street, was tie Gen.:
tleman who on Thursday shot the unfortunate dun.
He was on Saturday admitted to bail in the sum of
30001.
On Friday last, at about four in the afternoon.,
the Assizes for the County of Surrey were com_
pletely finished. The business' on the Crown
side, though not remarkable for any very atro-
cious crimes, was nevertheless very heavy and
oppressive. Five
_prisoners received sentence of
-death, but owing either to recommendations
from the Jury, or the Prosecutors, or from some
very favourable circumstances in their cases, not one
is left for execution ; but all are reprieved on con.,
dition of being transported for life. It is therefore
a Maiden Assize, an Assize unknown in Surrey for
many years. Mr. Serjeant RutiNiNc-roN (the
Judge who delivered the gaol), will of course he
presented with a pair of white gloves, the usual,
ancient fee of office, on so singular and gratifying an
occasion. •

Mrs. Barrington was tried in the course of last
week, at Kingston Assizes, on a charge of picking
pockets, and acquitted. A woman, n;nned Mack-
actvg y, whose bushand was hanged two or three
years ago for a burglary at Twick:!nham, was also
tried on similar charges, and acquHed.
A tradesman of Eecicshall, a kw nights since,
meeting in the garden, his brother, whom he had a
minute before ,parted with, each being in search of
robbers, whom they sut•p.)s.d had br•iken into the
premises, and mistaking him for one of them, fired
at, and %vounded him dangerously in the thigh.
A woman, dressed like a Quaker, and assuming
the names of Boyd and Franklin, as they suit her
purpose, has pradised her impositions with consi_
derable success among the Gentry in various parts of
the West of England. Last week she appeared in
the neighbourhood of Birmingham, and vi,ited all
the best families in the place. She is a well-educat-
ed woman, and pretends to be exceedingly dis .
tressed, but of too high a sensibility to make her
distresses generally-known.,--After colleding near
401. from the most wealthy, she decamped with her
booty, and took the road towards London.
A few days since a turkey, that had been missing
upwards of five weeks, from the premises of ------
iVlargisson, Esq. of Broadwater, and supposed to
have been stolen, or carried off by a fox, -was, by
one of the maid servants, discovered in the wood_
house almost starved to death, amongst some furze
faggots, from which it could not escape. It is
astonishing it should so long have survived, its situ-
zttion being such as to preclude it every means of
obtaining food or water. When missed, its weight
was judged to be 16 pounds ; when discovered, it
did not weigh five pounds, being reduced almost to
a skeleton.

A few days since an old gardener, of the name
of Laws, after drinking freely at a public-house, at
Grewel, near the tunnel, Basingstoke Canal, in '
Hampshire, proceeded along the bank, with a pig
in a sack, fastened to his back. After going some
length of his way, he rested himself on the brink,
and, two hours afterwards they were both found
drowned, nearly on the surface of the water.
