Yeilerddy, that I might take advantage of the
departot e of the Courier of Limoges, in order to
lend you the difpatches of the Colonial Prefea
Ll•se. IL IFR, I had only time to inform you of
the art ival in this port of the Caroline brig from
Goad.lcupe. Yon will have ft-en that polfcflion

When the die.' tine of Rear-Admiral Boum
appeare;',l he rrefea Lr sc ALIEN was at la Del-trade,
and imm :tLly repaireJ on hoard the Admiral's
cad him t!;c means of proceeding
with the at:-.:v to P•tinte-a-Titre. The wind was
to violent an the Lea fo tempeßnons, that during
the tint d ty they were able to land only the Grena-
dier con-Tanks .c:ld the Chaltenrs. They affembled
anti formed at the port. General RICH EPAN sE made
them load their arms, and then fent for the Mu-
latto Ps Lao , who immediately came and placed
himfelf at his difpufal. The. General ordered him
to caufe thole Negro troops, who had alfembled
en the (Lore in arms, to return to their barracks,
that he might infpea the Grenadiers and Chaffeurs.
Th's order was executed without delay.
The Captain of the Company of Grenadiers
then proceeded towards the Fort which commands
Pointe-a-Pitre, to take petrel ion of it. The Black
Centinel called out, that they Mould not enter.
The Captain then ordered his Company to ad-
vance, ready to charge, and the Company entered
the Fort with Inch precipitation that the Negroes
who guarded it were &tick with a panic, and
fled by a private flair which communicated with
the houfe of PF.LAG F..
lota act, a Molatto, Chief of Battalion, and PA-
E, a Negro, commanding the place, fled with
açO Negroes, patted the canal, and retired to the
Fort of male Terre, w:.:eit is of little importance,
and which is commanded by Ds tot rs, a Mulatto,
formerly Aide-de-camp to the Captain-General
LAMM& ; but, notwithaanding this momentary
infurre:tion Of DELoass and his fuite, krises,
and PALIREAS the Mulatto, Grissom, the Com-
mandant of Balk Terre, promifed every fecurity
to the inhab:;ants of the town, and to feeure them
againa every infult no the part of the infurgents,
who had retired into the Fort.
Genet-al Ric r t ?ANSI+, the day after his' arrival,
having canted the remainder of the troops to be
lande.l, let out in purfait of the Negroes, who had
fled frorn Point•a-Pitre, and took the road to
BatTe-Terre, where hi.: pretence mutt have brought
back to their duty that hmdful of Bhicks already
fttbdtred by the panic terror (truck into them by
the fight alone of the Grenadiers and Chalreurs
who landed the firll day.
Captain CAVLI who commands the Caroline
informs me, that at his departure from Pointe-a-
ntic, coE men of colonr had hcen &firmed there,
ond placed under a guard on board the trantports,
and that the PELAGE, sv.t watched on
board the flag thip of Rear-Admiral BoUVET, as
