EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROn GENERAL ERNOUF,
CAPTAIN-GENERAL OF GUADALOUPE, DATED
BAssg TERRE, 20TH OCTOBER LAST, ADDRESSED
TO GENERAL LEFEBVRE.

" I have taken every opportunity to write to you, but I
do not know whether my Letters have reached, for the War,
which commenced much sooner here than in Europe, has
nearly put a stop to our communications. The English
Newspapers which circulate in the Antilles, are filled
with inveaives against the First Consul. They con-
stantly circulate reports to excite the hopes of the
friends of the Bourbons. You will judge of this by an
article in the Letter of the Captain of the English Fri
gate the Emerald : after some observations respeaing the
Exchange of Prisoners, he says, that " the last accounts we►
received from Europe, state, that MOREAU had raised the
Royal Standard; that Lou is the iSth was on the Fron-
tiers, and that a Counter-Revolution was immediately ex-
pedcd." This pretended intelligence was printed at Bar-
ba:locs, and circulated through the Antilles. I told the
English Captain in reply, that I had news of a more ree'mt
date, and that I knew that 2.00,000 Men and 2000 Gun-boats
were ready for the Invasion of England. I had meditated
an attack upon Autigua, which was in a defenceless state,
and had assembled ten small Galleys for the purpose, but
they were prevented from sailing by contrary wind. An
attempt was made by the English to destroy this little
. Flotilla, but they were fortunately moored close to the
shore, and the' Grenadiers of the 15th anti
566th Brigades
kept up .a heavy fire upon the English, and forced them to
retire., The Long-boat of the Emerald was sunk,. and the
Lieutenant was taken. Our loss was only nine men.

took place, a bomb from the battery of Grinez
pierced an English vessel, and sunk her. The hull

Since the 25th we have no.lunger perceived any,

something extraordinary hai happened.

Plan of a Law, as follows : ' . •

creants who are now lurking in Paris and its environs anda re .

considered arat punished 'as a 'capital,offence.

. , The Pg•E s I bli,J•r,replied :-7--" Citizen Counsellors
of State! -The-opinion of the Legislative Body can.
not be doubtful. Whoever conceals the villains in
the pay of Engl'and; ceases to be a Frenchman. The
Law proposed by :Government is a'measure of gene-
ral safety. While the Laws proteft the Saviour of
France, they more powerfully'proteEt the Country.
These are the sehtitnents of the Legislative Body,
whose zeal is not abated : it will now redouble, it,
adequately- to the importance of the affair, • and to.

The Sitting was very short, both of the Legis-
lative Body and the Tribunate ; and, -in both As-
semblies, the_proposal was unanimously passed into
a Law ; while the Tribunate decreed, that it should
be .promulgated that very day, since it would be
entirely useless, if the usual course were followed in
this instance._

General MONNLTT sends word from Flushing,
that a person who has just landed from England
told him, that it had been publicly announced in
London that the FIRST CONSUL had been assassi-
nated—that, in consequence, the Volunteers would
soonte -disbanded, the manufacturers would resume
their labours, and the India metchandize which could
obtain no purchasers at the last sale, would be in
general request.
. Accounts. fro.m Brussels mention, that the Head-
quarters of the Army of Flanders are now at Ostend,
and that Troops are quite ready to embark ; previoui
to which, however, they expeCt a visit from the
FIRST CONSUL.
