COLOAVJES.

CAPE FRANCOIS, OCTOBER s 5.

Amin a fcene of murder and robbery, you Will
not expea I can be very particular in my remarks.
Without any preface I (ball inform you, that yeller-
day morning the prefentCommander (a black man)
received official advice that an Army of revolted
Negroes had encamped a few leagues without the
gates, their intention being to march to the city
and fire it in feveral places, and maifacre the
Whites, and thofc Blacks in power. Immediately
the houtes and ftorei were doted and the drums
beat w arms ; the women and children running to
and fro in wild confufion, prefented a fight not to
he defctibed p—lono troops were under arms in a
few minutes, and the General in perfon headed a
party of horfe. The Dragoons finally marched or
rather flew to meet the enemy, and our anxiety to
be Cure was great to hear from them. We waited
until ten at night, when they returned alma dead
with fatigue, it raining in torrents the whole day,
and the weather uncommonly hot. They came up
with a part of the enemy five leagues from hence,
and charging upon them, took a few prifoners,
and brought them in ; they raw 600 encamped.—
Thofe taken will foon be executed, but this is only
the beginning of tronble; for to-day again the
drums are beating and no bufineft doing. Gon
only knows how it will terminate. I with it was
poffible to get off. I can obtain but little informa-
tion from any Frenchman; a general panic has
fcized them all, and no one ?peaks loud enough to
be heard. The country prefents a fcene of un-
heard-of murder. The infurgents yefierday mar-
facred a number of Whites, among whom were
feveral women and old men. An exprefs has juft
gone to General MOTES, who it at Fort Liberty,
to march with his troops to form a junaion with
General CHRISTOPHEI. Sonetthing decifive will
Coon take place.
TEN o'CLocs—The Artillery and part of the
Infantry have marched. Accounts from the ene-
my are fo various that we cannot afcertaia.the
number nor difcipline of his army. A number of
the inhabitants lodged on board of the American
vefkls laft night ; they were obliged to go off pri-
vately and in a tremendous rain. Sleep is a firan-
ger to my eyes ; we were flint up in a (mall room
laft night, every moment expecting f?mething
dreadful. I'o-night will be the fame. Every night
fince I have been here, murder has been executed,'
and, (hocking to relate, I have feen human en-
trails carried about upon the bayonets of the
inhtit-
man Negro foldiers.

MONDAY MOANING.—As yet we are fafe ; thank
Goo. Lail evening a body of troops marched
nut with provitions fllfScient for feveral days, and
their bread upon their bayonets. The fight was
novel and not implealing. An embargo has been
laid upon all sails in port.

TUESDAY MO4NING.-At two o'clock this Morn-
ing the Chief of the infurgents was brought in a
prifoner and lodged in gaol. He .is fettered in
a cruel manner, and his cries are heard along
diaance. Ingenuity is at work, contriving tor-
ments for this poor wretch. It is fail four horfes
will be employed to draw him in quarters. His
name is FLARILL, and his (Nat was to overthrow
the government of TOUSSAINT.
Our ears are momentarily pained with ac-
counts of thockinz murders committed in the
country. Only a few miles from this place, a
few days ago, whole families were cut off in the
moll barbarous manner. I exped the embargo
will be off tomorrow.

OCTOCCR 39, TWILTS O'CLOCK A? NIGHT.—
In the centre of this day the beets bare been
ilrewed with dead bodies, which are fuffered to
purify without removal. Another Chief of the
infurgents is taken; but the danger is not re much
from without as within. The Generals hare been
fired at, and one of their Aids was Aaa. night
killed by the fide Obis Chief. Laft night again
the alarm was fpread that the Cape was on fire.
To day General Caairroress, with his own
hand, cut off the heads of two men, and left
them among heaps of dead in the public fquares.

°cross& 3o.—Dulincfs has commenced here,
though not without much difficulty; confidence
is not reitored, and the inhabitants think them-
(elves not Ale. Executions of the criminals are
hourly taking place ; and we as often hear of
their cruel murders; feared), a White is left in
the part of the country inhere they marched.
The plans of the infurgents were well arranged ;
they had appointed all their officers, and Aligned
to them their different Rations. This city was
the firs objea of their intended plan, and I affure
you it had nearly fucceeded. We thould have
immediately fallen victims to their brutal rage.
Toussatnv and DRUALIVES are now in the vici-
nity-the latter with a powerful army. The fears
of the rye are by no mennsftibfided!

When Government refolved to reduce all the
Second Lieutenant-Colonels in fettling the Peace
Ellabliihment, as we announced about three weeks
ago, the Circular Letter of the 13th of July 1795,
addredcd to Officers commanding Regiments,"
and of which we laid a copy before the Public in
our Paper of the sal ult. was not in the recollec-
tion of Minifiers. The moment they found the
Government pledged to continue en Second thtad.
ditional Field Officers, and to allow•them to re-
main on the Peace Eilabliihment. they made an
alteration in the propofed arrangements.

We are informed, that it is not now the inten-
tion of Government to reduce the Second Lieute-
nant Colonels and Second Majors to half-pay, as
was at firft propofed, buttopermit them to die off,
without the vacancies being filled up.
For this aft of juftice, we underftand, thefe of.
fleas are chiefly indebted to the exertions and re-
prefentations of his Royal Highnefs the Duke of
You, who has fo truly on every occafion (hewn
himfelf the real friend and patron of the army.
The events that have taken place in the French
Weft India Colonies, of which we have before had
occafion tofpeak, and concerning which feveral in.
terefting particulars are given in the preceding co-
lumn, can excite little furprize in the minds of
thofe habituated to examine political occurrences
in all their relations and bearings. In the progrefs
of the French Revolution, the Negroes were de.
dared Free, without any means being provided
to fit them for the enjoyment of fo great a bleffing.
Negroes were admitted into places of mull and
power. This was a necelfary confecluence of the
former meifire, and, taken with it, was not only
unavoidable but proper. Perhaps to this fecund
ftep every white inhabitant in thefe colonies owes
his life; for the belt informed Negroes kept the
others in Come kind of order, and were anxious to
(hew themfelves deferving of Liberty!
If France had even been deGrous of recalling'
its firft meafure, it became afterwards impolTible.
The luperiority of our fleet was the means, though
our.Minifters certainly had no fuch with of con.
folidating, fo far as it has been confolidated, the
Negro independence, by preventing the polEbi-
lity of the French fending out any troops during
the war.

The Whites in the Colonies, being fo circum-
(lanced, had but a choice of difficulties. Having
been neceffitated to acquiefce in the new order of
things, they next endeavoured to make this ac-
quiefcence appear hearty and voluntary, that they
might profit by the confidence they might thni
infpire among the leaders of their black brethren,and
twit it afterwards to their own advantage. This
was prudent, but they feem to have wanted fuffi-
cknt fagacity to follow up their oWn plan with
becoming caution, and hence the meafure, which
has led to all the prefent confufion and blood.
flied.

They found no great difficulty in convincing
Toossattur that nothing but mifery, ruin, and
famine could refult to the colony, if all the negroes
ihould be fuffered to go about abfolutely idle.—
Here came the trial of their !kill and alto of their
forbearance; hut they had neither wifdom nor
felf.denial fufficient for the occafion. The Negroes
were all enjoined, withoue any. eliflinaion whatever,
to return to theft former plantations; even thofe
who were earning an hone(} livelihood at free men,
by handicraft labour, or by hiring themfelves out
as fervants, were included in the decree that or-
dered them to return to their original place of I* e-
fidence as euldvateurs of the foil.

Had thofe negroes, who lived by honeft labour,
been excepted from the effeB•of the decree, It is
highly probable that they themfelves would even
have lent their aft fiance to bring the idle vagrants
into tome kind of fubjeaion : they would have
feen their own intereft in doing fo; but the greed
of the whites to recover all their negroes infatuated
them, and the decree was fo framed!

Can it be,wondered at that the Negroes ihould
murmur ? Would they have been men, and yet not
revolt againft loch a Decree ?—Murder, maffacre,
and rebellion,were the immediate unavoidable con-
fequences (of this haßy meafdre !—What the ulti-
mate refult may be no human fagacity can calcu-
late. For ourfelves we would not be furprifed to
fee, in a few years, the whole of the Weft-India
Wands under Negrn dominion I

The Hotel-de-Ville, one of the molt beautiful
edifices in Zurope, by the majefty of its facade
the beauty of its veftibule, its ftaircafe, the elegance
of its. court, and the meat of its halls, has been
xliftinguillied by the name of the Palace of Govern,
ment. The ufeful arm fpeedy repairs lately given
to it render it worthy of that name.
AU the windows of the facade have been newly
painted ; the principal gate, which is well fculp-
tured, has been repaired with great art : a bronze
colour thrown over its fusiace conceals the frag-
ments added to the old fo4ture. In this fiat;
it may vie in magnificence with the celebrated
gates of the Morgue of St. Sophia at Canflanti-
nople.
The veftibnle has been whitened, its fplendnur
thews to advantage the beautiful groups in bran 4c
of the Rhone and the Saone, made by Cur: 51-0/.1
