LO 1v DO IV, y AMU ARY 14, 1803.

Wit this triornieig received the Par;s Papers
up to the, 12th instant ; they confirm the intel-
ligence which we received from America, of
the death of General Luc L E R e, and of the distressed
Stitt
,of Do. miuga. The, !letter, which contains
an account the late operations in that Island,
and of the death of General I..tcLEttc, is written
by General Bovett, who' conimaAcled at Cape until
she arrival of General RoCIi4MBEAr, the AlX-
cessor of General LECLERC, as Captain-General
and CM-flaw:icier In Chief, Ile states, that Insur-
ieatons had taken place in almost every guar.
ter that the heat of the weather had rendered
it almost impossible for the French Troops to
aft ; that the season was uncommonly unhealthy,
and that consequently great numbers of the
French Troops were in the Hospitals; General
Boy -does not expressly say that the French
were shut up in the Cape, but it may very ,fairly

b 'inferred from some passages in his Letter ;
it appears that a Corps of Insurgents took
:°.ia position early in the month of Odober, in the
:i,
the Plain befOre the Cape, and it was not until the
6th of Nov. that they were attacked by the French.
The manner in which General Bovea states this
circumstance is rather ambiguous ; he says that the
situation of the French becoming more and more
urgent, it was determined not to wait for General
• RocnAmaia.u, but to attack the Insurgents; the
attack was 'made on the 6th of November, and
the Insurgents were retard. This we believe
is an ex, rcs!,ion always applied to the Army that
attacks, and not to the one that is attacked..
General LECLERC died on the night between
the rst and zd of November, after an illness of
About len days ; his malady was a nervous fever.
Ilk body was embalmed, and sent home to. France
in the Slinfiare. Maclaine' LE,Fyikte took her

yissage in the sune vessel.

Some further disputes have arisen respefling the

to consent to, as loon as the GE AND DUKE Of

" PARIS, JAM, IT.

Tote last letters from Sr. Dorthigo, bring the me-
lancholy account Of the death of General Let LE ICC I,
he died on the night between the Ist and id Of
November. His body was embalmed, and sent horde
to France in the Swiftrure, which has arrived at
Toulon. Madame LEct,p. rtc arrived in the same
vessel. It sailed from the Cape on the 9th of No-
vember, and has had a very unpleasant passage.

The body of the Gentral.in Chief of the Army
of St.'llomingo was accornpanied to France by his
Aides.de-Camp, and a4letachment of his Guard.
This day, at one o'clock, the
,Ministers, the
Members of the Senate, of the Tribunate, and of
"the Tribunal of Appeal, had Audiences of the Chief
Consul, and presented :heir Compliments of Con_
dolence on the death of General LECL CRC. At two
o'clock the Corps DiplomatiqUe waited upon the
Consul for the same purpose. 'The First Consul
went into mourning this day : he will wear it for
ten days.
When the Ambassadors waited upon the First
Consul and Madame BONAPARTE, they' were in
mourning.

Letters have been received from Martinique,
which state, that that Colony is in a prosperous si-

Several vessels laden with Negroes haie arrived in

from Europe at Guadahupe, to repair the losses
which have been sustained in that Island.

the most profound contempt for that infamous intriguer with
whom he has been classed. In the year 1792; DA N nbt a left

he retired into Switzerland. He afterwards returned intb

was Secretary to that Agency, and I can positively assert, that
he never slimed the slightest tendency to AssLsination, and
constantly forbid any connexion with the English Agents.—

and the first basis of tranquillity, was puma:id with as much
aftivity as success.
Sdme slight Thitmetlions' broke out. A man of the

escaped into the most distant Murnes, and We heard no more

fought with courage. The were re-conquered, and
a part of the Brigands punished acid disarmed.
" in the latterenridt August, Cu. BELAI.R, an atrocious
African, who had hitherto submitted to the Republic, rose
in insurredion on the Ilerghtt of A rtiboulte. A Marty of the

horrible Wife. A Military Corinnission condemned him to

" The Quarters of Leoganc, Tame); and Bains, ware also
the theatre of diithrent I nsurteaions. Our Troops every

" Since then, the Southern part has been tranquil. The
Spanish part is defended by the white ovulation rising en

" In the binning of November the General in Chief, see-

Troop of those Afrieans who had 'taken a position before
the Cape, in the Plain of ,the North, ordered General

yesterday the visits of the Corps Diplomatique, and

gistrates of the City.

We cxpeet Couriers from Paris and Pettriturgb,
who will bring important decisions relative to the
Indemnities.

We have received from Vienna the unexpeaed
intelligence, that the Convention concluded for the
purpose of conferring on the GRAND Dime of Ttss.
asnr the Bishopric of Eichstcrt, as a Supplementary
Indemnity, will not be executed, because hail,- aria,
who has united that Bishopric to her Possessions, is
not disposed to enter into an arrangement for its,
cession ; and she has in that respen the Court of
Petershurgh much in her interest.
It is asserted that the EMPRROX of Russia has
presented a very energetic Note to the Austrian
Ministry, through the medium of his Ambassador
at Vienna, Count de RASOUMOWSKY. He de-
mands in' this Note, in the , most categorical
manner, that the • Cabinet of Vienna shall re.
siounceall its pretensions to Passau, and shall
dsist at
~ the same time from those it has forma
ed uporrsliaverria. 'NI: de ItAtouttowsitY,_ after
having p'eesented the Note, had a long conference
with the Minister of State, Count de COSINMILI
in which the interests of Bavaria were discussed.
Austria has transmitted a counter Note to the Rus.
sian Ambassador, by which sbe declares that she
will evacuate Passau, and abandon it to the ELF.C-
TOR Of DAV ARIA, as soon as the Gua) Duct Of
TUsCANY shall have taken definitive possession of
the Indemnities assured to hits by the Convention of
Paris.
