PARS. x GERMINAL, MARCH as.

On the arrival of the French troops in St. D.
rningo, Toussaisr LOUVIitTUKE fled into the
piain ; already he has retreated to Dondon, and
tas offered conditions of fubnittrion.

The Republican troops march again% CHRIS-
Top ri E. who had retired to Grand Boucau. Le-
bus its, a Negro General, continues faithful to
us ; it is to him that the Cape o•.ves its fafety, and
it was before him that CHRISTOPHE fled.
The brave men under the command of General
ROCHAMSEAU carried Port-au-Prince by form.—
This General knew well the influence of honour
on the heart of a Trench foldier, when, in the
middle of the anion, he threw his hat among
the ranks of the enemy, and exclaimed—" Com-
rades, you will furely not leave the hat of your
General to remain in the hands of the enemy."—
This exclamation decided the vidory, and the Ne-
sroes were routed.

EXTIACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM ST. DOMINGO.
No perfon was killed at the Cape—every one
c.,:ne back into the town. A number of Black
Ovid: furrendered, and among the rest the Chief
of battalion Louts, who commanded Lemonade,
and preferred that diftria. It appears that we
may already reckon 1200 Blacks to be under his
orders. He came to (wear fidelity to the French
Government. and General Lact.ssc railed him to
the rank of Chief of Brigade, and decreed to him
a fibre of honour. It is reported that the divilion
of General CNRISTOPNI is difpofed to join the
French party. It is raid that TOUSSAINT is at his
country-houfe on the plantation of Harricourt.
BENIZECN, the Coonfellor of State, has gone to
the Cape, where he will be employed in repairing
the confecoer.ces of the conflagration. According
to report. the Civil and Judiciary Officers irere
not to enter on theexercife of their funaions till
the whole Wand has been reduced to a Rate of fu-
bordination. General LECLERC and Citizen
BENnrcH have refolved to fix their refidence at
the Cape.
The following are a few traits of the bravery
played by the French foldiers:—
A Chalreur, of the sth demi•brigade, eager in
the affair of the Cape, to fee the fort fall into our
hand., took his cap, threw it from him, and ex-
- claimed," Igo where the cap falls." It afloally
fell within the fort. Citizen LACHARTS, and aide-
de-camp, animated by a &tiler love of glory, imi-
tated the example of the *Chaffeur. An honour-
able death was the price which both of them paid
for fuck generous devotion. A Serjcant, not lefs
brave, bat more fortunate, (prang forward, and
with a hatchet inhis band, broke open the doer of
the fort, and opened an entrance to our troops.—
" What do you want ?" exclaimed the rebels.—
" A fibre of honour," replied he,µ and that will
be the third I have obtained."

Brigadier-General Caesar has given an account
of the motives that prevented him from embark-
ing with the St. Domingo expedition. Attacks of
the gout and other infirmities rendered it impoffi-
ble air him to be of any fervice. Betides, it ap-
pears by a letter from the Minifter of War before
the departure of the fleet, that he had been ap-
primed to another fpecies of fervice. Thus the
want of a Commandant of Engineers in the expe-
dition is not attributable to hips.
On the t 7th the Vast. consuz went to the Hof-
pital of Invalids. He vifited every part of the et-
tablithmeet, the infirmary, kitchens, &c. and took
an account of the ameliorations of which the efta-
blithment is fufceptible. He received the foldiers
with much kindnefs and intereft, and received
from them moll lively marks of gratitude and ad-
miration. In general he appeared fatisfied with
the different apartments. The tranquillity, good
order, and difeipline that reign in the hofpital,
together with the excellent Rate of the infirmary,
particularly engaged his attention. He expelled
his fatisfation to the Comthandant in Chief, the
Adminiftrators and Officers of Health; ordered
an extraordinary diftribution of provifions to the
invalids, and granted them, by way of gratifica-
tion, a month's petition of their petty wants. An
old man; of 134 years, having atk:d to be treated
as Captain, on Account of his great age, the Con-
ful acceded to his donand. .1 young (hummer of
fourteen, whofe thigh was cart ied otT while per-
forming a brilliant action, was ordered to be
i placed n the Prytancum.
The Parttca of °RANO, ailed at the Sitting of
the National Inaitute, of the lath intl. A Memoir
was read on the ftrueture of the Primary Moon-
tains, and a portion of the Pyrenees ; alto a Me-
moir, not lets important, on the theory of the
Moon, and a defcription of Tome new experiments
made by CovLoms, to prove that all bodies are
attraßed by the loanone. Other intereßing Me-
ini.irs were read at this Sitting, and at that of the
7:11. In the latter Gs men, Engineer of Bridges
and Roads, contineed the reading of a very in.
firnaive dlartation on the Pyramids of Ghizee
and Saccara. The Chief of Brigade read a Mc.
moir on the fellies of conical wheels, as adapted to
many commercial carriages in England, and an-
nounced a work on carriages of every defcription.
They write from Milan, that it is certain the
Republic of Genoa will be united to the Italian

duaing to the States of America: no perfon could
