CHRISTI)/ HE rent to inform me, that he had al

ways been a friend of the white men, whofe ,focial
qualities and inftrudion he efteemed more than
any man of colour; that all the Europeans who
had been at Saint Domingo could atteft his prin-
ciples and conduit ; that the imperious circum•
(lances which overcome, and often detertnine the
conduit of men in public fituations, had not Cof-
fered him to conduit himfelf as he wished; in a
word, that he requelted to know whether there
could be still fecurity for him ? I fent to inform
him, that with the French People a door was al-
ways open for repentance; that the invariable
cuftom of the FIRST CoNsur. was to weigh the
anions of men ; and that one bad one, whatever
might be its confequences, did not efface from his
mind the remembrance of pall fervices ; that it
was true that the information which I received

before my departure was perfonally favourable to
him, and that provided he would place' himfelf
under my dirt tion he would have reafon to be
fatisfied.

He (till hefitated: feveral of the Planters fet
out in purfuit of him,-and fome fkirmifhes took
place. CHatsroPHE at length made known to me
that! might tranfmit to him my orders. I de-
fired him to repair alone to the Cape Town ; to
diffiand all the Planters whom he had ilia with
him, and to collet all the troops under his corn.
mand. All thefe things were pundually executed.
More than woo inhabitants of the Cape, who
were in the moll diflant Mornes, returned. The
Magazines and Artillery which he had are in OW
bands ; and about two troops of the line who
Rill remained with him, joined our troops. A
part of them were (Harmed and fent to cultivate
the foil. The other part I have kept, that they
may be incorporated with the colonial troops.
The fubmiffion of CHRISTOPHE completed the
conflernation of Toossaierr. He employed all
the means in his power to make known to me the
difa,greeable fituation in which he found himfelf,
and how much pain it gave him to fee continued
a war without (Ned and without end. He added,
that yery unfortunate circumflances had already
occafioned a great number of evils, but that what-
ever might be the force of the French army, he
was fufficiently powerful to burn and ravage,
and to fell at a &la rate a life which had alto
been fometimes ufeful to the mother country.
All thefe communications, frequently repeated,
gave rife to deep refleelions.
Three fourths of the colony have efcaped
the misfortune of burning ; and Toussattir and
the blacks, though they have occalioned great de-
arudion. and carried on war with extreme barba-

rneived only falfe ideas refpeetiug our nr,a
charader. I fent to inform ToussAiN T, tilAt lie

had only to furrender at the Cape; that the hoar
Of pardon was not yet pita.
_ _ _

Toussaitur did not fail to take advantare of the
permiffion I had granted him ; he wane.' up, in me,
requefled forgivenefs, and fw•ore to be flitl,fld to
France. I have accepted his fubmiffion, and or-
dered him to repair to a plantation near Conak eh
and not to fir from it without mj• leave.

I have placed DISSALIuEs on a plantation near
Saint-Mare.

An the planter-6 ..vho hid been milled have re.
turned. I shall incorporate with the colonial troops,
a portion of the difciplined negroes, who I think
may he fuffered to remain armed.
The magazines and artillery, which they had
dragged over lleep rocks, and concealed among
the bullies, are daily delivered up ; they had more
than a hundred. A new epoch commences. You
will fee by all the decrees I have paired, and the
=Aires I hive taken, that we are a6tively
ployed with the adminifiration of the country.

The bad feafon has begun, but the reit given to
our troops will enable them to get over it with as
little lois as pi:gable. Thanks to your care :we
arc abundantly fupplied with prusifions. Health
and reified. (Signed)

THE SAME TO THE SAME.

Cape, a 8 Floreal, year to, (May R.)

We arc endeavouring with an activity, difficult
to be conceived, to re.eftablifh the Cape. This
town is Ming from its afhes.

I (hall not conceal the mifchief which has ken
done in feveral Cantons of this Colony ; but at pre.
fent, while I am receiving the different reports, I
am snore and more convinced that above three-
fourths of the Colony are untouched. The quarters
of Artibonite, all the South part, the Mole, and
Fort Libertc, are entirely preferred.
American chips in great numbers arrive in our
ports, laden with flour, planks, and other
arti-
Iles neceffary for building. Citizen PICHON in-
forms me, that the Americans had ffiewn much
difcontent on account of the meafure I purfued
at the tithe of my arrival; but in my opinion they
are wrong to (peak of the pea. Agents of the
American Government were pith Toy ssais
and did not always fuggeft to him the bell
lions. The muflcets, cannon, gunpowder, furnifhed
with new aCtivity fence the Preliminaries were
made known, came from the United States. It
was therefore natural that I fhould purfue mea•
fures for preventing that communication with the
rebels. Our Cornmiffioners in America do not at-
tend with fufficient care to the intereits of the
public treafury. An unfortunate (mall brig which
you difpitched, cult in repairs aB,OOO francs—
( 11001. Reding). C. Pic HON ought to have known
that the brig was not worth the half of that fum.
The National Commerce begins alto to fend us
a few veffels. I have given orders that theColcnial
fyftem (hall be put into a Rate of as much ae.irity
as poffible.
AU veffels coming from France &all pay on im•
ports no kind of duty ; for exports they (hall pay
so per cent. perhaps it Would be better to demand
only five. I (hall however wait for your orders in
tbis point. It can do no hurt to commerce, flue
you may in the mean time diminilh the duties front
the Weft in the fame proportion. _

The Colony in other re- fpeas is in a fituation to
receive any commercial regulations that you may
be pleafed to make; and if our large commercial
cities undertake to furnifh what ke have occafion
for, we (hall foon be able to put in aftivity the
edicts of 1784, in regard to Cullom-houfe dues.
To conclude, Citizen Muller, allure the FIRST
CONSUL, that I (hall not lofe fight for a moment
of the precife inflruetions which he tan me, both
in a political and a commercial point of vicw, ani
that I (hall confider the day when the national
commerce alone is fufficient for St. Domingo, as
a day of happinefs to me and the army, fince the
refult of a colonial war mull be the ttiumph cf
commerce.
I have fent General Duoua to the. Southern
part; General lkoc ma EA Li is towards Saint-nit—:.

kr+aelf. inllead of the mai rules of Court cti.

general drefs was fprigged muffin or long cloth,l
with chip hats and °finch feathers, or edged with
feathers, or lace caps, lined with blue or yellow.
There were a few Spanifh cloaks to be feen, trim-
med svith lace. The Princefs MARY wore one.—
The backs of the gowns were worn full, and fo
were the tops of the &eves, which were tight
round the bottom, trimmed with lace. Gold arm-
lets were much in ufe. The Princefs of WALES
was the only Lady who wore a bird of paradife
plume, of extraordinary file and beauty. Her
head drefs was a gold and filver muflin turban,
which hung low down over the !boulder. Her
petticoat of-white 111 k, with a gold and fiver muf-
fin robe over it, with full plaits behind. The
QUEEN was in a plain main drefs, trimmed with
lace, and fo were aU the Princeffes. There was a
profufion of diamonds. The Gendemen were,
with three or four exceptions, all &did ill mili-
tary, or the old Windfor uniform.
After their Neje:vies had converfed a little
with the Nobility, and walked about the Lawn a
few minutes, they proceeded to dinner, which was
laid for 24.0, exclufive of the ROYAL FAMILY, in
five principal marquees ; the centre one, for the
ROYAL FAMILY, opened into two others for the
Nobility on each fide, fo that their MAJESTIES
could fee the whole company at dinner at once.—
There were feveral (mallet marquees for the pur-
pofes of the dinner.
The marquee in the centre, where their MA.
JESTI es dined, was fitted up in the Afiatic (lyle,
with four beautiful lanthorns fufpcnded from the
top, and decorated with chintz furniture part of
the fpoils taken from the late Tippoo Sultan ;on
the top of the building was difplayed a flag, with
the words, May the King Gym for ever ; each corner,
it being of an °flagon form, was ornamented with
a large filver crefient ; the other tents were in a
direEt line, fo that their MADE: rtes had a diiiind
view of the company.
The ground-work of the table frames confifled
of trophies, rural views, emblems of hu(bandry and
agriculture,fuch as !beep feeding in green paftures,
lhepherds playing on their oaten reeds, all emble-
matic of the return of ,Peace! The ROYAL FA-
MILY and Nobility were feated under a corridor of
artificial Rowers, drawn up in felloons of white
and flyer gauze, the pillars of the Corinthian or-
der, being entwined with wreaths of laurel, and
their fummits bouquets of rotes and every kind of
flowers.

The dinner was ferved up in the &II flyle : the
deffert, which confided of pines, melons, grapes,
cherries, &c. was furnillied from the Royal Gar-
dens.

The ROYAL FAMILY dined off a fervice of gold
plate, and the wine was drank out of gold cups,
poured from large flyer gilt flaggons ; the com•
pang at the other table were regaled from off a
fervice of flyer.

In the paffages leading to the rooms were moon-
light tranfparencies, painted by the Princefs
ELI-
ZAYETH.

The Paixca's band, the Duke of YORK'S, and
the Duke of GLOUCESTER'S, played during the
dinner. God few the King was Tung ; Rule Bri-
tannia, and the favourite glee of All the brave
Birds that eer I fie, by Corporal Crofton, Mr. Pat-
terfon, and a Private of the Guards, in a ',Fry
good Ryle.
The foldiers on duty, in honour of the day, and
to comm, n,urate the Peace, wore boughs of lau-
rel in their caps.
The dinner did not laff much beyond an hour,
as it Teemed to be the general with to take advan-
tage of the early part of the afternoon to fee the
Fetes.

As loon as the ROYAL FAMILY role from table,
the company followed, the Gentlemen, as well as
the KING, walking uncovered. Their MAPS.
TIES were arm in arm; and the Prince of
ORANGE chaperoned the Princefs of WALLS. The
whole, condu.fted by the Princefs ELIZABETH,
proceeded to the gardens, the fcenery of which is
fo diverfified and beautiful, that new profpeds
occur at every dozen yards. The defign of the
Princefs ELI ZABITH was to enliven there fcenes
with living objets and droll charaders : with
this view the company had not proceeded far,
when th:y were met by Mr. Fawcctt of Covent
Garden Theatre, dreffed in the charader of a
floymakr, who fung a fong fuited to the feafen,
and complimentary to their Mai am Es, with which
the KING feemed to be very highly gratified.
Palling on, the company came to a Gothic
building, the remains of the houfe in which Mr.
Page, one of the charaders in the play of Tie
Merry Wives of Wiadfor, aaually refided. Part of
the walls now (landing were the walls of his
houfe, and the the Princeffes have had fitted
up and ornamented in the Gothic (Lyle with much
tafte and beauty. Here their MAJESTIES were
met by Mrs. Mattocks, of Covent Garden The-
atre, Cireiled as the matron of the female fchool,
which her MAJESTY patronifes, and accompanied
by all the girls who atually belong to it. The
children firmed flowers before their MAJESTIES
as they approached the Gothic pile, and the fcene
was at once pretty and affeaing. Mrs. Mattocks
fpoke an ode complimentary to their MAJEsrirs,
and to the (If Eves benevolence, after which the
children retired, and their MAJESTIES entered the
Gothic building, where tea and coffee were pre-
pared, the company taking tea and coffee on the
lawn, where chairs were let out for the Ladies,
but molt of them, and the Gentlemen, flood, or
walked about; and their MAJESTIES coming
arnong them, little Simmons, of Covent Garden
Theatre, appeared, clreffed as a female ballad
finger, with an old foldier's coat on, and an old
petticoat. He fang a very droll fong, at which the
KING laughed heartily.
Having taken tea and coffee, their MAJESTIES
and the gutits continued the tour of the gardens,
and the next new objet was the Royal Standard
on the Mount, in the Moat, guarded by a party
of the Guards. Here the Eton boys, in their
Montcni dreffes, rowed boats along the theet of
water, music playing all the time. The &ft of
thefc boats was a very large and beautiful one, be-
I mging to tl.c boy., called the Sovereign. The
lioys Iti it weL e in a feet of naval drefs, very hand-

Ti.is boat was 14lowet: by others of a fmaller fir.e, '
all filled with Eton boys. The aquatic gal.; was
one of the fined figlits of the day ; and the iate-
tea was heightenceby the parents of many of the
young men being among the Royal Vifitors.
From the water, the Prince& ELIZABETH led
their MAJESTIES to the Flower-garden, where
Fawcett again appeared, dteffed as an Englifh
Sailor, and Tung a fong to the tune of Hearts of Oak,
with which the company were much gratified.
Proceeding onward, their MAJESTIES found a
fmall tent, in which Mailer Byrne, fon of Mr.
Byrne, of Drury Lane Theatre, and Mrs. Mills, of
Covent Garden Theatre, danced. Mailer. Byrne,
a child of only five years, was dreffed as Cupid,
difguifed like an Arcadian, and was much ad-
mired by their Mays "sites in as: feu,. Mrs. Mills
was equally praifed, as a fairy, in the little fancy
dances which they exhibited.
The next fcene which ftruck the promenaders
was a Toy-fhop, or rather a tent, and Mrs. Mat-
tocks as a German peafant, miftrefs of it, felling
her wares. This chars ter and fcene were dii-
played at the Q.3.I,IEN'S particular defire. Here was
a fort of a lottery, or raffle, as at Margate. The
company drew little poetical billets, which entit-
led them to prizes, and thefe Mrs. Mattocks dif-
tributed according to Fortune's frolicks. The
poetictdmorceaus and the prizes gave rife to much
mirth and whimfical remark.

After all the dramatic wit and fun deputed from
Covent Garden had played off all its artillery,
their MAJESTISS were entertained in another part
of the garden, with a company from the Royal
Circus, brought down by Mr. Jones. In this groupe
was Matter Saunders, who firft performed upon the
tight rope, and afterwards on Itorfeback. Mr.
Porter alto gave a comic exhibition of the T.t;lor
riding to Brentford, in which he introduced the
famous horfe Turk, whofe fagacity excited much
admiration. His MAJESTY was to pleafed with
this performance, that on its conclufion, he afked
with teeming regret," is it fo foon over?"
Their Matlrrizs and the company now ap-
proached the extreme point of their tour, where a
(mall Rage was ere red on the lawn, and Fawcett,
in a modern drefs, delivered a loyal addrefs, writ-
ten by young Dibdin, which was very loudly ap-
plauded. He alto fang the Picknickery tong, which
has fo often been encored on the public -Rage.--
In the courfe of the tong fpeaking is introduced—
Pawcett gave as a toaft, " Her gracious Majefty,.
the IQL2EEN, and may the number of her years
equal her virtues"—this excited a warm burft of
applaufe. At the conclufion of the fong he intro-
ducedlines to this effelt, " If GODfaves our KING,
why our fnug little Mud will ever be happy and
the people free"—this produced a burn of ap-
plaufe fo loud as is feldom witnetred in fo fele& an
audience, accompanied with huzzas and cries of
kayo. His MAJESTY felt the compliment and
betrayed evident marks of emotion and delight.
In returning to ,Frogmore Houfe, the Princefs
ELIZABETH did not fuller the journey to become
dreary. Several amufements were alto provided on
this occafion. Among the mon ftriking was Mrs.
Mattocks's fong, at the gypfey tent, in praife of the
KING ; and the dialogue between her and Mr.
Fawcett, as Hodge, with her humourous dcfcrip-
tion of the loffes and ditafters the met with on the
illumination night, and the different places the
went to fee, canted a general burft of applaufe.—
His MAJESTY laughed heartily.
The moR particular account that words could
convey of rural retreats, would give but a faint
idea of this fylvan fcenel-Shady retreats, grottos,
bowers, and a Hermit's cell, with all the furniture
with which hiftoric truth, or poetic fiEtion fur-
nith it. There was the " mofry couch, the frugal
fare :" on the table were (par ornaments, and a
human full; and in one corner was feated, a por-
trait of the venerable inhabitant, that without
clofe intpellion, might pats for the original. The
benches at the entrance were of mots, and the
humble dwelling was formed of clay. The fombre
reflations infpired by this fcene afrumed a more
placid and cheerful hUe on vifiting a Dove liouji,
fituate near to this retreat. It echoed with the
fond cooings of two beautiful turtle doves, and
the netting enclofing them was the work of the
Princeffes. A little farther on the curious eye dif.
covered a cottage, not in the abfurd, but too com-
mon (Lyle of fathionable cottages, mingling art
and nature, but in real runic parity. Its furniture
confined of a breakfatt fervice of plain ware, a
milking churn, and every requifite for a runic
village maid.
An aggregate of chalkand !tones terminated this
walk.—lt was an imitation of a quarry; its rude
and undigefted front formed a beautiful contra[
with the neighbouring embellifhments ; and to in-
create the wildnets of the (cent as well as with a
view to a moral leffon, was a lee-hive, with its
little colony of inhabitants, all employed in active
indullry. The trees and ihrubberies abounded
with nightingales, black birds, and red-breath.
Thofe who had not tickets of admiffion had an
opportunity of teeing the family through the lat-
tice work which enclofed this pavilion. The com-
pany were feated on cottage chairs. The entrance
was an awning with variegated lamps, fimilar to
Vauxhall.

Soon after this, when the company nearly ap.
proached Frogmore Honfe, they were met by all
the performers, tinging along, or rather a finale, to
the tune of Oh the Roan Beef of Old England."
And here, about eight o'clock, ended the fcenes
of the garden, which certainly were as entertaining
as any with which a company could be amufed
for a fummer's afternoon. When the beauty of the
grounds and richnefs of the fcenery ; the high
rank and fplendid drefs of the company; together
with the theatrical talents exerted are confidered,
the Fete mon b • allowed to have been one of the
mole agreeable ever beheld in this country.
After arriving at Frogmore Houfe, the company
proceeded to the Ball Room, which, from its fcire
and appearance, was termed the Grove, confining
of a temporary building, in figure, and principal
' materials of &Ohne, refembling a barn in the cx
,tenor, and in the interior embellaments, a bower
'or green-houfe, and furrounded with a fence of
wicker work : flowers and a•-nhs of all kinds were

lamps, formed iratv felllow, et-i (act •1-,i;te,,
mixed with the foliage and o.lwers, pa ghiceo a
pleating effca ; C. C. were ititro,lii‘ed gi l'Az

phies of war,were infpend.d fiont the beams which
Supported the root. The ,:oripatty alfcalthled at
eight o'clock, their MAIF.SI its entered a few mi-
nutes after, and fl,co the ball was orcm.d, with

not dance, the former, as condu&refs of the en
tertainment, being occupied with the fuptrintend-
ance of the Fete, and the latter had not rcthvered
the cffed of a late fprain in her foot. Tne Princefs
AMELIA fat during the whole evening, in conver-
fation with the beautiful Lady DutsoANNoN.— •
Their MAJESTIES looked in high health, and were,
during the whole day, very aff.ible and attentive
to the accommodation of their guelts. Isis MA. •
JESTY entered into a long converfation with the
Duke of PORTLAND, ,Lord HOBART, and Lord

About ten o'clock their MAJESTIES rei ;red from
