THE GENERAL IN CHIEF TO Tag MINISTER C
THE MARINE, AT READ:QUARTERS, BASSE.
TEFtR.E, GUADALOUPE, BTH JULY, 1802.

" CITIZEN MINISTER",

.The last accounts which t t'ransmi'tted to 'yon
tespefting the proc, edings at Guadalonpei were of
the date of the &IA June, a period which, by the
taking of Matouba, terminated my more important
military operations. Since then, the troops have
b,een c:npioyed in pursuing and exterminating these
Itebels, • who are inaccessible to the voice of Pet-
Suasion, and in fact incapable -of 'returning into the
Pale, of their duty : the death these incendiaries
lean alone put a stop to the progress of Devastation,
and the murder of the Whites in this Colony.

" The injuries and devastations which some
proprietors have sustained, have afaiaed me _con_
siderably : however; I.cannot but regard as a for
tunate event for the regeneration of this Colony,
the resolUtion taken by the People of COlour to
oppose the disembarkation of the Army. It is
certain that they had taken up aims under the idea
that my Mission had for its °Ned" the dissolution
of thelilack Forces ; and to recall a part of them
to pursuits of Cultivation. They also hoped that
toussAt:vr would have been able to maintain his
authority at St. Domingo. Added to this, hey
were aware char the Troops which composed th.e
Expedition from France were comparatively few.
Thus, safety and tranquillity being securely
established, favourable prospeCts present themselves,
of commercial and agricultural prosperity. The
Obstacles to this prosperity, were, the ambition of
the Arnied Chiefsthe licentiousness of the Troops
tinder their command—and the unsettled state of
the Negroes in general. Of these, ts,ooo have
ieturned to their habitations, where they shall be
restrained by an exaet and rigorous system of dis-
tipline.
't The Officers; Non-commissioned Officers, and
rtivates, of this Army have. concluded themselves as
true French Soldiers : Courage, discipline, attach.
trient to the GoVernMent; these are the virtues
Which they have Uniformly manifested in the course
(tif,4 War which afforded them no resource, hut in
vidory. I have acquainted them with my inten-
-1104 of making this known ; and I entreat your
tl'airt,a)le attention to the Widows and Orphans of
t
kthrne who have fallen, or are Mortally wounded.
u,ilbjoineti is a list, unhappily too numerous, of
hose brave men.

bgr The French Troops, after having thgagtA the

am impressed with the like sentiment; 'and
4•ln'( that this exclusion from the military proles-
11°111 which they have so Much abused, and for so

4524 THE ENGLISH PAPERS.
46ain47: hy do the English Papers utter so much abuse
st the French People ?
It is that a great deal concerning the French
4tople, Which could not be said in France without
aniger, may be said by the English Papers.
to 4-! is because it is an old custom with the English
I,eaouse every body; they have attacked the greatest
turrs„"ages in England, and the Crowned Heads of
XViPe• What have they. not said against Loins
e of and above all, against his ueen, in the
Ll.cir power ? Q

The E ngli4li toire ta, -read I as ihi), do to
look at Caricatures they wish. to see a Libel, inhere
we should onl, permit an Epigram ; and a Print,
where-- our delicacy would hardly itllow an Alusion.

The English have not, like the Vrench, a hatred
for Libels, for the same reason that they have not,
like the Italians, a love for Music..
Mot4TEsQ:tri EU says, in his. Spirit of Laws, " I
have seen the Operas in England and in Italy, they
consist of the same Pieces and the same Performers.
But the same Music produces efrfas so different in
the two Nations, the one so calm, and the other so
transported, that it appears inconceivable."
The taste of the Nation does not lie there, but
observe why they must abuse people.
Can you then pretend that a People, who chiefly
drink Porter, who always eat Beef, who obtain
warmth from Coals taken from the earth, and inspire
an heavy air and of inconstant temperature, 'who
pass,one half-of their lives on the sea, and never
see #roomen but in the parlour, feel as lively and
delicate a sentiment with respect to all these rela-
tions—as. a Nation, where wine is generally drank,
who eat bread, who receive warmth, from clean and
soft, fires, which inspire a brisk and pure air, and
who, at all times, enjoy a familiar and respeilful
intercourse with lively and agreeable women—free,
yet decent, and receiving every where fresh lessons
of -taste and decorum ?

But, how impotent the inveaives of the English
Papers ? They are so elaborate, -so languid, so ill-
composed, that they are no where read but in Eng-
land, and even there are held in very low estima.,

MUNSTER, JULY 27.-Our Government has
issued the following Proclamation relative to the
entrance of the Prussian troops into this Country :
" We, Grand Dean and Canon of the Cathedral
of Munster, vested with the sovereign Authority,
&c. &c.

• " The Sovereign Chapter, in taking the reins
of Government, has had no other object in view but
the happiness of the inhabitants ; and it presumes to
flatter itself, that every body being convinced of this
truth will repose unlimited confidence in the advice
and orders of the SoVereign Chapter. Strong in this
cOnviaion it orders the inhabitants
.of whatever rank
soever to comport themselves tranquilly upon the
entrance of the Prussian Troops,- to gi good re-
ception to the soldiers, who-shall be bilietted upon
them, to prevent their wants, to abstain from all
political refleaions, and not to take the Law into.
their own hands, in cases where any difficulties may
arise between the Inhabitants and the Soldiers ; but
to carry their complaints, without delay, eilier
before the Civil Officers, or the Military Officers,
and to rekr them to their judgment ; and in case
they 'shall not think justice clone them by such jirig-
ment, to prefer new complaints to a superior Officer,
and in no case to take the proceedings ;n their own
hands. Upon corforining himself strialy to this
proclamation, every inhabitant shall enjoy peace
and tranquillity ; but on departing from it he may
expeEl to be punished by his SUperthrs. The Sove.
reign Chapter, bou"d by its duty, and the love it
bears the inhabitants, to make this proclamation
public, will not negled to use, extreme vigilance to
ptoctie for them solid and durable happiness. In
order that the prestnt proclamation may be made
known to all the inhabitants, it shall be printed and
read from the •pulpit, posted up in every convenient
place; and a copy sent to all. the Authorities.

VIENNA, JULY 29.—The Archduke ANTIIONY
has renounced his dignity of Eledor of Cologne and
Bishop of Munster; but this Prince will be ap-
pointed Coadjutor of the Baron DE DAHLBERC,
who appears little disposed to accept the offers
which have been made from our Court, in order to
induce him to resign, in favour of His Imperial
Highness, his pretensions to the Eleaorate of
Mentz: It appears certain that the .Archduke
CHARLES will unite to the dignity of and. Grand. Mas-
ter of theTeu tonic Order, that of Eleaot. The Prince
Bishop of SPutes, whose political existence is
nearly annihilated, has already solicited the office of
Grand Judge of the Imperial Chamber oiWetZlar.
PETERSIAIRGII, JULY 13..---The• Count de PA-.
Nix having resolved to visit sitccetsi7ely the dif-
ferent States of Europe, has determined to begin
with Sweden. Arrived in Finland; he was visited
by the Count de Kt.tNcskoit, who, after expres
sing surprize at his taking the mall theough ?in-
land; which offered nothing to satisfy the wants, or
gratify the curiosity of a Traveller, advised him to
proceed to Stockholm by water: This was refused
by the Count de PANTiNi and the Count de ICLiNGS-
Pott retired, but a few minutes after wrote to
the Count de PANIN, informing hint that it was
the desire of the KING of Sweden; that his Excel-
lency should not continue his journey through the
'Kingdom: With this desire the Count de PANtI4
complied:
It, is observable; that after the Peace between
England and Denmark; Sweden claimed an indem-
'nity of Russia; under pretence of having fitted out
Armaments, at considerable expende, for the defence
of the Sound, but that the demand Wait rejected at
.the time the Count de PANTS' was Minister. The
Count de PANIN returned to kussia, and informed
the EtAr EROR of what had happened;, who answer-
ed, gc I desire you to believe that I consider the
insult you have met with as' an offence direded
against my own person:" It is not yet known
what will be the result of this affair, which has be-
come very serious:

On Monday last, in consequence of the Hon.
Mr. Whitt), only son of Lord Viscount Dew.Er
and WAItD, coming of age; there was a grand Fes=
tival at Himley Hall, in Worcestershire, and at

the Dudley Ar-ms in the same village. The fa-
mily being from home, the Hon, Mr. SHIRLEt did
the honours of. the day at the Dudley Arms,
where three hundred Gentlemen sat down to din-
ner. At Hiatley Hall all the Tenantry were as.
sembled. at dinner, and hospitably feasted. A cask
of beer called .13;g Ben, containing upwards of ro3o
gallons (bte‘ved at the Birth of Mr. WARD) I,'as
then tapped, and libations of it poured out, and
drank to his health, and that dills noble family'.
