ks*fraS Of a letter from a gentleman in Caae
Francois, dated Od. 90.
SINCE the date OF M ldtt, the convoy, which
intended to depart next morning, have been de-
tanned until now, b. an order from the emperor,
he having been informed that number of Arne-
| ricans, contrary to the laws of this country,
were endeavoaring and had actually filcceedsd
| in getting Otto the feet great number OF per-
| ions to whom the commander in chief here had
often refnied pafIports. For number of DAYS,
| this clandeitine affair was conducted with great
activity, but with very little caution; for it was
| obiervcd with much regret by general Chriito-
phe, to whom advice had been given daily Of
| the pertons thus embarlsing, yet he hoped, az
the convoy would not be ready to fail for foine
DAYS that they would repent their temerity, and
| again return on iliore, in which cafe nothing
would happen TO them.
In tactit was only two days ago that
there WAS general aIembv OF men, women
ano children, belonging 10 the town, when the
emperor addreied hirnfef more particularly to
the people of color, ailured them of his with to
! make them all happy, and would protect them
and their families from ali kind of iniolence and
violence. Notwithstanding they continued to
remain, and others to go on board the dfferent
veflels, Especially on board the flip Pilgrim,
whole conhgnee ihewed the emperor he was ig-
norant OF any one being OF board but thoie poi-
| ieHed of paGports.
The veGels gill met with detention, and
we are at lois how to account for it--At
length they were permitted to clear out, yefter-
day was the period fixed on for departure
Ihe preceding night counter order was given
, for general embargo: and in the morning
guards were appointed TO go and fearch every
veilel in the harbor, when, painful 10 relate,
| they found on board the Pilgrim, fifteen or FIX
teen perions of both fexes, whom together with
the frft officer of iaid ihio, were immediately
lent as priioners on ihore the frt to anfwcr
for endeavoring to leave the ifland contrary to
Law, and MI. Tate for reiifting the guards fent
to iearch the vciiel. Three of theft unfortu-
nate people, in which number, am forty to
include poor Tate, were hanged on the otiaya
thort time after their landing, and 10 exai,era-
ted were the different officers and folders, that
1t was impoiiibe to afford that unfortunate man
the ledlt aIiiltance.
f, It's deeply TO be lauented, that an atf 20
! humane aswas the intention of the Americans in
this initance, ihould 70 i'll accord with the laws
! OF the country; but as it WAS our duty as well
as iafety, itri6tly IL adhere to them, this deva-
ton eXpofed us and the poor creatures we were
deiirous offerving, to the unhappy idue that
has taken place"
Ne frrtha tntI 81,

tion captain Smyth, of Newly rk refolutely TEN
ped forward and remonnrated the commanding off,

diers to run captain Snlyth through with his bayonct
on which captain Smyth aed end the folder rurfred
but loon alter returned and informed that captain s

head ha pay for it, the next time you obey nv or
