4FF4IRS OF GUADALOUPE.

American Papers,np to the z6t.: of Jamtray in-
cinlive, were received yelterday, which do nor,
however, bring us any news of importance. The
fever has been very mortal amongß the Ameri-
cans; fome rads have loa half their crews, and
others nearly all. They are totally filcnt refpea-
ing St. Domingo, and a letter from Port Liberty,
Guadaloupe, of the 4th of December, dots not
put us in potTefflon of any new information. At
that time, the fituation of the ifland was far from
being tranquil, and the Whites, in daily expe-la-
tion of a genera. rife among tl:e Negroes, were
making applications to be taken on board the
American veffcls. A flag of truce had arrived
from Dominica, which, in anfwer to fome pro.
pufitions on the part of the revolters, rctufed to
treat either with the Negroes or Mulattoes, and
Rated that they Ihould be allowed to hold no con-
fidential lituation. The anfwer concluded by hold-
ing out threats of the fpecdy arrival ofa fleet, and
a caraiderable body of troops to reduce them to
obedience. It does not appear from thefe paper,
that the Committee, to whom the Bill for repeal-
ing the countervailing duties was referred, have
yet given in their report, though the commitment
took place on the 16th of December bill.
There have been numerous letters received at
New York, containing accounts of the didurbed
Rate of Guadaloupe. The flllowing is an ex-
traa of a letter from Captain SPAIN to his owners
in Wafltington, of the late!! date, which appeared
in the New, York Daily Adverlifcr, January 26 :
--" Port Liberty, Guadaloupe, Dec. 4.-4 am
afraid we 11101 be glad to make :in efcape with our
lives before many days. The Negroes have made
two attempts to rife; toe iirit was in Eafreterre,
about the firft of this month, bat without much
fucccfs ; they only {tabbed four men in the town,
and did fome milehief in the country : the fecond
was in this place, on the night of the loth
and they alto were difperf,::, and with their ring-
leaders made prifoncrs. Laft night the Negroes
began their riot in the Market place again, which I
greatly alarmed the people. The Whites were
running with their wives and children in every di
reainn, begging of us to take them on board of '
our veffels. The women therni-elves did not ftop
at milling into the river up to their waills to meet
the boats, with repeated fcreams for Goo's fake
to fare them. Although I made all poffible exer-
tions to call my falls off, my. decks wine crowded
before I could effea it. In a few minutes ,I was
under way, towed out in the bay, and came to
anchor."
IN THE NAME OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

THE THREE CHIEF MAGISTRATES, COMPOSING THE
GOVERNMENT OF THE ISLAAD OF GVADALOUPE,
A\D ITS DEPENDENCIES, TO ALL THE CITIZENS

Df THK SAID COLONY.
'While the Fnisr Coxsut. at the head of the
armies was labouring to procure peace for Europe,
while his whole attention feemed to be taken up
with the ckflrudion of fadions, and totally bent
upon giving a regular impulfe to the interior Go-
venment (it France. while affairs of the greeted
importance obliged him to neglcd or let aride our
Colonies, neverthelefs tic ifland of Guadaloppe,
which, has always remained faithful to the mother
country, was at the fame time the objed of his
particular care.
The nest' Coast%L, unwilling to wait until a
regulation was completed, fent you a Captain Ge-
neral with the neceffery provitional powers to put
a flop to all persecutions, and tittja proceedings,
to fee all ufarpations reflored, and to make every
man enjoy the rights allowed by law.
On the 19th Germinal, year to (19th of April,
1801), the Confuls made a regulation for the Go-
vernment of Guadeloupe, by which three Chief
Magi ftrates were eftablifbed, with refried; ve powers
for the military, civil government and juftice.
In cunfequence of this regulation, the FIRST
Cossot. has appointed Rear Admiral Leceasss,
Captain General, the Coußfellor of State LESCA-
MR, Colonial Prefect, and the Magiftrate Gos-
TER, COM/1102.11 Of itiftke.

gate of the Republic, baring a paifport from the
Admiralty of England, brlpts the news of a ge-
neral peace; the Q.tizensttscALlEß and GosrEß
were psiengers on board. Seifg informed of the
infult done to the Captain Getieril, and his etpul-
lion from the Colony, neither the *hid Magilirates,
nor the commanding oftcer of the frigate, could
think of landing in an Wend where a few fadious
men have fcduced the arnied forces, and ('till make
them ad contrary to their duty ; they have been
obliged to reek fur the Captain General in the
neighbouring iflands ; they have at halt found him
at Rofeau, in the ifland of Dominica. where Cap.
