/: From Cape Francois, MdrcD "a.
The French people at the Cape are ii
most Distressing situation, expecting
every moment q general massacre as il
was known that Christophe had received
orders from Gov. Dessalines to that pur-
pose. None Of them are suffered to
! leave the Island. and American vessels
are strictly searched both before sailing
and by barges outside. A Danish schr.
which sailed from the Cape for ST. Tho
mas was overhauledby . brigand barge,
and French passengers found on board.
: She was immediately carried into asInar
port to leeward ofthe Cape, and the cap.
tain, crew and every, soul on board shot.
The schooner was afterwards broughi
up to the Cape. The whites are dali
missing, supposed to be secretly muir.
dered, and their property imme diatsls
eon6seated and sold at auction. No ape
or sex is spared from the outrage and IN.
humanity Of the blacks, Who boast o.
their mildreatment wheneomparedwith
the cruelties which they have suffered
from Frenchnen. Men women and
children are held in the most abiect sla,
very and daily expire from hardship and
fatigue. They arenow obliged to carry
cannon balls to a fort building in, the
mountains about Is miles back, and are
not even permitted to hire. it done for
them.& Great numbers drop down with
the fatigue and die on the road. -
The few Americans who arrive at the
Cape are obliged to be extremely cir
cumspect. For want of proper regula-
tons and from the ignorance and jealou-
~ Of the blacks, they are subjected to
much hazard and inconvenience. Chris
tophe viii take what proportion of Ames
rican cargees he pleases at his own price
and pay in coffee at his own price. One
day he win permit certain goods to be Ia
ken on board, and the next order them
TO be landed again, and no dependence
can be placed on any trade with them.
The slightest transgression Oft their rules
Is punished with slavery. An Ameri-
can supercargo was kept three days in
dungeon for going on shore after dark.
In general the Americans, notwithstand-
ing the professions of the blacks, are
treated extremely i'll. The arretes and
Proclama.ions of Dessalines and Chris
tophe are mere Aummery and seldom or
never put in execution. a/ g :.
