The government is at prcfent at Port.

lizard is anembled, Balls, concerts, par

nerally the fame; TO make their fortunes
and return with all Pofible tate 20 France.
Fortunes are here accumulated by every
fpecies Of extortion; the inhabitants vex-
cd ,stheir houles 10 reouiition their pelfons
wantonly expofed on every location
difhonorable commerce publicly carried
on between the chiefs and the reyclted
negroes. The planters fee daily enter the
town, the produce of their habitations
brought TO the advanced potts, by the
brigands, and there bought by the French
commanders, VINO thus furnilh TO the
ilayes the means Of continuing the war
and thus, that few iuperior officers may
enrich thenhelves, the colany is lott,
France impoverished, and the inhabitants
who returned with The mott iaegoine hopes
of re. eaablifbing their fortunes are on III
point of leeking an afylum in another

They die by hundreds daily, like dogs,
like flies, they diiappear unaccountabie,

not enough to guard the towns. Many
of the garrilons have beea evacuated and
left the women and children to be Aaugf-

all the leapor;s are rot in their pol1ellion.
The preicnt fate of the colony is more

The federal LIST. Heptpell quite outstriPt
our expectations, and At one of the most
generally attended meetings ever held m

so been very agreeabiy disappointed,
where, atthe last general election, the
federal ticket obtained amajority of about
trpel0r or Etleen, 40 the town meeting,
which was uncommonly full, the fede-

!. When we take into consideration the
uncommon efforts which for six months
past have hesA made by the democratic
party, in extending their influence, and.
in organizing their troops, the result Of
the late town meetings In Hunterdon
county, is certainly very encouraging to
the hopes Of the politicians Of the Wash
ilgton-.Schooi. In spite of their organ
lied associations. their county constitu-
tions, their committees, the harrangues
of their emissaries, and the calumnies
oftheir address and iniammatory publi-
cations five townships out Of ten in,the
county, at the most generally attended
meetings ever known, have exhibited far
greater federal maiorities than were OBJ
tanned at the last general election. One:
of the Heretofore democratic townships
(Alexandria) has been completely parali-
red BY die increased strength Of the fede-
raj party, and in all the other townships,
an augmented opposition has been manic
tested in thereign of delusion. We are
not in the habit of exnlting with pompons
