The progrelfive improvements in this city must be a source of pleasing to all good citizens— repairing ihe ltate : houfe, building out docks, paving the ltreets, and opening a pfiUage throogh tlie mid dle of f'ort-Hill, are the important objecfts now in hand : The latter will be of the utmost consequence, especially to the mercantile people on the north fide of State-Street, as the defceiu on that llde will be the eafielk, should the south fide be paved in the manner at present con templated.

We declare, that the will of the French republic, and that of its de legates, is to give liberty to all the negro warriors, who will fight for the republic under the orders of the civil cununifiioners, as well againlt the Spani.ii ds, as the other enemies, '' whether internal or external. The republic desires also to alle- viate the condition of the other Haves—l>y preventing them from be ing ill-treated as formerly—furnifh ing them with better provilions, and more capacious apartments for their . convenience ; higher wages by the year, and more leisure through the week to attend to their own affairs —more kindness and refpedt for the women who are pregnant, and for nurfcs—by affording them certain means of redeeming themselves, by means of determined sums ; finally, by giving gradually liberty to the negroes who can furnilli proofs of their good conduct, and of their as siduity in labor, and by giving them at the fame tipie pieces of land and • property fufticient to afford them selves and families an honed sub- fillenre. All the negroes who may be de clared free by the delegates of the republic, (hall be equal to all free men, whether Y'hiteor of any other colour: they enjoy all the rights belonging to French citizens.

Dampiere, as has been before announced in several papers, which they greatly lamented. The combined forces had made no impreifion on any of the fortified ci ties, said to be inverted. On the whole, that France had little to fear from th# combined powers—their difficulties arose from inter nal differences among themselves {'from cqoo ter-r volutionifts and other difcootented in cendiaries, which were in a fair way of being fettled by the forces raised to oppose them. Provisions of"all kinds were plenty, and not higher than in England—that Bordeaux was perfe&ly quiet—that in foine places many - lives of the incendiaries were cut oil—that it was necessary that many Ihould be cut oIF to . save the country from anarchy and ruin, far we have heard from ('apt.
