Take care not to come here as yon propofed;
the Colony is ruined, loft! General Lzcztac is
at his Taft lhift (aux dais). He has had Fort
Dauphin, Port de Pais, and all the neighbourhood
of the Cape evacuated. We are threatened by a
numerous army of revolted Negroes. Not con-
ceiving himfelf fare here, he has ordered all the
great guns to be (piked, in order to be ready to
embark immediately, Mould it be ultimately found
neeefary z all the private houfes and magazines
are (hut up; all the women and children ; in fine,
thole who are incapable of bearing arms are on

The Treaty of Amiens has not been hitherto
fulfilled, in that part of it which refpeets the tights
of BrILA fubjeas, proprietors of flock in the
French Funds, created between the 'evolution
and the commencement of the war. The Britifh
creaitors on thofe funds ate many ; and the ge-
neral amount of the debt to them is very confide-
rabic. Other means having failed, they have, at
WI, determined to take meafures, in common, in
ordzr to recover their property, under the obli-
gations of the Treaty of Peace. Their hopes
now ref in the proteEtion of the Britins Go.
vernment, and its energetic interpofition with
tha: of France.—A committee of their number has
already had communications with Lord Haws s-
stray, on this fubjed. A general meeting. which
fltould have yefterday taken place at the London
Tavern. was, at his Lordlhip's e3prefs requeft.
deferred. His Lordfhip will, in the mean time,
have an interview with the Committee. The na•
cure of the claims may be,then, more particularly
(laced to this Miniller, and he may, poflibly, ena-
ble the Committee at once to inform the General
Meeting what fteps Government is willing imme-
diately to take in their behalf. and how far they
may indulge hopes that the debts due to them by
France (hall he, without crafion or undiffembled
injullice, fpeedily difcharged._

Letters have been received from St. Domingo
by the way of France, 6f the date of the asth of
°Sober, which take no notice of the death of Ls•
ct sac, the report to that dee, brought by the
way of America, is, therefore, probably unfound
ed. 71. e affairs of the French in Sit. Domingo are
in the moil deplorable condition ; and it teems

We mentioned a rumour that had been eircu-
ciliated of a tleceent having been made upon the
Wand of Jamaica. The account was Paid to have
been brought by the Eliza fchooner, which had

arc happy to have it in our power to contradia
inch an unwarrantable report, as no fueh veffel
has reached our port." _ _

For the last three days the waters of the river

Waltham Abbey to Old Ford, the ditches are full

munication between Middlefex and Eike, except

violence of the gull. the chimney was thrown on
the roof of the upper room, in which Mrs. &a-
re a Lo, and five of her children, were fittiltird
the weight of the brickwork brought the of
the tiles, timber, and rubbik into the room, and
enveloped them in the ruins. One of the children
found means to extricate herfelf. and with great
practice of mind, thrall her hand through the win-
dow, sailing loudly for affiftance to Come men
who were working in a (hop acrofs the yard: they
immediately at ended, but tt was not without dif-
ficulty they could get to the room whets the nsi(.

were obliged to force their way through the
kitchen window : they ftacccedcd, however, in re-
lieving the unfortunate tuff from their peri-
