that bad been circulated, of a Descent having been
tatie opon the Island of Jamaica. The account was
F,AiAI to have been brOught by the Virtu schooner,
which had arrived.at Bristol. The Bristol Paper

it in our power to contradia such an unwarrantable
report, as no such Vessel has reached our Port."
Private accounts from Parit mention, that not.
withstanding all the caution of Government to con.
coal intelligence from St. Domkzn, yet several

tional Guard : a great number were killed, and the
Test fell fink upon the camp of Boueturitr. More
than fifty women and children were drowned in at.
tempting to gain a boat that had pushed off.

our mercy they have plenty ammunition, which
i 9 furnished them by DESSALINES and the Other
Black Chiefs, for whom commands are reserved.
" There are scarcely any White Troops left :
they have peddled of fatigue and misery. The

64 Those who have arrived froi'a France to re,.
establish the Colony, have brought with them the
