from America. The Mositeur prefents long and
very particular details refpeeing the nature, fymp-
toms, progrefs, and termination of his malady, and
on the appearances obferved on diffeeling the body.
We (hall fuhjoin a fhort announcement or two, as
fpecimens of the file.

Swiftfurc. The body of the deceafed has alfo been

As every thing that refpeets the Rate of the war
is of importance to this country, we have given
the details on this head at full length from the Mo-

unneceffary. We (hall only obferve that CH RISTO.

French, and obtained a command in their Argly,
is now fpoken of as one of the Negro 'cadets. His
revolt was mentioned Tome time ago, but now it is

Citizens foldiers—The night which has elapfed
has been to us a night of mourning. LECLIRC,
the Commander in Chief, your Captain General,
is no more. He has fallen a facrifice :an obffinate
malady has carried him off. Scarcely had he ar-
rived at the middle of his career, and already con-
queror in battles, able is council, he was both a
hero and a fage. He polkaed dignity without
pride, and generofity without oftentati on. His heart
was jolt, your troubles were always his.
Soldiers—The brother in-law of BONAPARTE is
no more. He will live in your hearts. The
to whom he WAS a terror, will rejoice at his
death. You will puttilb them for their &tellable joy.
ROCH•6ISFAU. General of Divifion, will atfume
the place of General LECL, ac. He has freed the

ment, and of the General whom you lament.—

THE GENERAL 0). BRIGADE, CHIEF OF THE STAFF

OF THh ARMY OT ST. DOMINGO, TO TUB MINI•

STFR OF THE MARINE ♦ND COLONIES.

F CITIZEN Mititsrsa--In the month of Prairial,
(end of May,) TOUSSAINT Loursitruss was ar-
relied and fent to France. The plots of the bri-
gands were difconcerted, tranquillity was efablilh•
ed more than before. The organization of the Co-
lony was daily making new progrefs, and the
julleft hcpes promiled to the unfortunate Planters
a profperous futurity, and teemed to announce
the termination of their evils. They were about
to enter into port.

The difarming of the Negroes, an effential ope.
ration, and the firft bafe.of all tranquillity, was
carried on with equal aaivity and fuccefs.
Some flight infurre,Lions broke out. A perfon
named Salfl Souci, till that time confounded among
the negroes, affernbled around him form wretched
Congos, and attempted to fet fire to the planta-
tions. Purfued by the Gioeral who commanded
in the Northern part, he penetrated into the molt
diftant mornes ; they were no more heard off.
The heat, however, being ercefEve, it became
impolTible to make any movement. The molt ele-
vated mornes prevented obftacles in proportion to
the inconvenience of the temperature. The number
of brigands increafed. Our hofpitals were filled
with fick,and difeafe made daily new ravages. The
brigands calculated its progrefs with new joy.
The infurrelion fpread to the quarters of Mar-
melade, Dondon, and Mouftique. Our troops
advanced in every quarter, and combated with
courage ; the quarters were recovered, and a part
of the brigands were punithed and difarmed.
In the beginning of Fruaidor (middle of Au-
gull) Citizen &sate, an atrocious African, who
till then bad been fubjea to the Republic, revolted
on the heights of Artibonite : a part of the Colo-
nial troops who had been in our pay, joined him.
After different combats, the wretch was taken with
his horrible wife. A military Commiflion con-
demned them to death on the gth of Oaober.
In the South, different partial infurreaions
obliged them to leave their quarters of refreth-
ment. General DISIURIAUX routed the brigands,
and was able to reftore tranquillity.
The negro DOMMAGS revolted in the quarter of
Jeremie, and burnt there feveral plantations.—
This wretch, having been arrefted, was tried and
put to death.
The quarters of Leogane, Jacqmel, and des
Rains, were alfo the theatre of different infurrec-
Lions ; our troops every where kept them in awe,
and their Chief, will fuller the death of criminals.

Since that time the fouth has been tranquil.—
The Spann part is defended by the white people,
who have rifen in a mafs, and who pima all the
negroes who attempt to penetrate thither.
The northern part is a prey to the molt horrid
brigandage. DESSALINES,CLIRVAUX, and CHRIS
verity, are with the brigands. Their audacity
increAfes with our weaknefs. Mammas. and a
great number of Chiefs, are Arrelled, and on board
the fquadion.

During the lafl days of Vendemiaire (about the
zoth of Oelober), the Commander in Chief, finding
the feafon a hale cooler, and impatient to reprel
la band of thefe Africans, who had taken a pofitior
before the Cape, in the plain of the north, orderer'
General BRUNET to fall back upon him, refolver!
to difperfe the brigands ; but Fate had decide.

The army who w•itneffeJ his folicitude, his con.
flint labour, and indefatigable allisity, bewail
hint a Chief ant a father.

On the report of his death the brigands advanced
with horrible cries. The General of Di vifion,
Cs.* us rt., (hewed them every where a good coun•
tenance.

On the 15th, (Nov. 6,) circumßances becoming
more urgent, the Generals 2-efolved to wait no
longer for General ROCHAIIIICAU : a general
attack took place. The enemy were every where
repulfed and purfued. They evacuated the plain
and took flicker in the morns.

We wait with impatience for the 3000 men, of
whom the 86th forms a part. We depended on
their arriving in the month of 04tober, but they
have not yet appeared.

Difeafes have made dreadful ravage. But the
old men have never teen a year fo deftrudive.
General LECLERC, tome time before his death,
delivered to me the fealed inftrudions of Govern-
ment for General ROCHAMREAu, to whom a veil
has been difpatched. General WATRIN has fet out
to airtime his place. What was forefeen in the
inftrudions of Government, has been pundually
executed.

General Duo uA, Chief of the Staff, died about
the middle of Vendemiaire ( 7th of Oftober), after
four days illnefs.
The ravages at length begin to decreafe, though
the feafon is confiderably retarded, and though it
has not rained fo much as might have been expefted
at this period of the year. (Signed) Borgia.

by that divifiori.
FRANCIEFORT, Jaw. r.—According to letters
from Conftantinople of the 26th of November, the
plague has begun to manifea itfelf ; and this ter-
rible fcourge is the more feared, as it is an un-
common %fling to fee it at this feafon. Several of
the Foreign Minifters have refolved, under there
circumftances, to retire for the winter to Bujuck-
dere, at the diftance of tome leagues from Con-
ttantinople.
S TRAIBUIGN,JMIVART 4.—LettersfromVienna
contain the important intelligence, that the EM.
?gaol of Russia has tranfniitted a very energetic
Note to the Auftrian Minifter, by his Ambaffador
at Vienna, Count Rasounows y. He demands
in this Note in the moft categorical manner, that
the Cabinet of Vienna will renounce all preterdions
to Paffau, and at the fame time defift from thofc
it may have to Bavaria. M. R.ssoustowsxy, af-
er prefenting this Note, had a long conference
with the Minifter of State, Count de Coaexyzst.,
in which it is Paid, the interefts of Bavaria were
difcuffed. Auftria has delivered a counter Note to
the Ruffian Ambaffador, in which it declares it
will evacuate Paffau, and abandon it to the Elec-
tor of Bavaria, as foon as the GRAND DARE of
Tuscany !hall have taken pofreffion of the Indem-
nities aligned to him by the Convention of Paris.

Their MAJESTIES and the PRINCESSES came to

A Cabinet Council fat on Friday or Saturday
La, on bulinefs of great importance, according
to the whifpers in the upper circles. Whether the
fubjeft of its deliberations was intelligence received
from Holland, or the news from Honduras, we
know not. Important private advices from Hol-
land were received laR week refpeeting the defigns
of BONA►ARTS on that Republic; and we know
the &II of the above letters from Honduras,
which was received in London more than a week
ago, has been laid before Mini Hers.
Mifs Woonrata. appeared for the fecend time,
yefterday evening, on the Drury• Lane boards, in
the charafter of Adelaide, in the tragedy of the
COIN of Norlame, and confirmed, in every inßance,
the favourable imprellion which herdtbrat produced.
The part of Adelaide is happily fuited to her powers
of expreffion, her elegance of perfon, and her ge-
neral manner ; yet her judgment appears equal to
charaCters of a more arduous nature. She was
received with univerfal plaudits by a numerous
Audience.

hole of &amass and liocisoom, were encored.

in account of Lady Dusoanuor's elegant fete
it Brynkynalt, we freely fubfcribe to the praifes
iellowed on frveral of the beautiful women who
traced that affembly ; but we mutt think the au-
,ior of that article rather deficient in talk, in not
ccurding blffs CHARLOTTI BOYCOTT WIC of the
Vynneflay party, whofe charms and elegant figure
AttraCted the Admiration of the *hole company.
