By Capt. R. Mease, of the schooner .Lively, 15 days '
from Cape-Frsncois, we learn, that some days previ- 1
eufly-to hia fill. Ujt. the,jiniua.had taken polleiiion of
Monte Chrillo, by express invitation from the Spani- ,
aids, who sent to the Mole for fhs; purpose : This step, ,
however, was not deemed of any consequence at the 1
Cape, and certainly was very imprudent in the Spa- 1
niards, as by treaty their whole pofleffions are ceded '
to the $rench, in St. Domingo j and those concerned 1
in this affair will no doubt be made to fufl'er for their 1
temerity and folly. Since the sanitation of Etienne I
and Barraftall, two noted chiefs of the blacks, by the |
order of government, the negroes have burned l'eve- .
ral plantations near Port-de-Paix : 400 men from that ,
place, under Gen. Pageot, marched against them and '
forctd them to retreat to the mountains and ravines, '
where it was impofiibie for white men to follow them. '
jpj Perroud, one of the former-adminiftrators of Port-de-
Paix, is appointed minilter plenipotentiary from the
republic to the leeward neutral islands. and one Tfci
beaux is appointed in his place. Buftnefs of every
kind very dull at the Cape.
On his pafiage home, Capt. M. saw a (loop of war
on lhore upon the Weft Caicos, and supposed her to be
the La Serieufe French corvette of 20 eighteen
pounders, that failed from the Cape the day before—
The violence of the gale-which blew at the time, pre
vented him from rendering any assistance. In lat. 3?,
30, long. 7j, saw three frigates standing to the S. W.
which he supposed to be > Barney's division.

From a late Paris Paper.
June 3.
Buonarparte is of the age' of 27; By birth a
Corfican—but educated in 1 France. He early en- 1
tered into the artillery lchool, in which his industry v
. and application soon procured him the rank of cap- £
;/ tain. Hisafpiring foul delighted no less intheftudy 1
, of Hißory than of Mathematics and Tactics. He
is of a small Itature 3nd very thin-—his countenance 1
pale—but bold and warlike. He keeps his fang f
froid amidst the greatest dangers, and feeirs to be
entirely unacquainted with what is called fear.
"f hp' he be involved in fituatioi\s ever so trying and °
intiicate, it is not his nature to despair of success in
his enterprizes. He fsems to be in his element when
contending against obstacles and difficulties. Like
Jourdan and Pichegru, when in large circles, he is
serious and (ilent. In social circles he will enter in
to couyerfuion freely, and express himlelf wrth per
spicuity and precision. Literary, philosophical, fc
- and political conventions, pofkfs equal allurements b
for him. In a narrow, diminutive bad v, he bar- la
bouis an intrepid foul, a noble feeling heart, and a v e
mind exquilitely.cultivated. He is a dutiful son, a h<
warm friend, a' tender husband, and of course, a H
