They cer-tainljj cannot be ignorant of the bad confluences attending their indilerimi riate gratification of all classes of people that apply for this important article ; when many obtain it while under demo niacal influence, or fanaticifm frotn some other source, either with an intention of destroying themselves or some other person. Any person that is possessed of the fmalleftfhare of feuGbility or affecti on foir their fellow-creature's, mud la ment the deleterious effects so frequently produced by its imprudent exhibition. Yet" it it certainly a vet y valuable reme dy in many of the dileafes to which mankind are incident ; when properly exhibited (which must be) by those who have had an opportunity not only bf viewing its effe&s, but who are also acquainted with its morbid influence on the animal system. It is also to be regretted that it has befcome so customary for the mothers and nurses of children to ftupify them with their fomniferous potions; (to save themselves a little trouble) they a dopt those imptudent measures of keep ing the tender infants in an almost con tinual state of sleep (or suspension of voluntary aft ion) and they not Unfre quently producc an extindliori of life. diw From the above mentioned source of imprudence, or?ginates a great number of the cases of imbecility which is so predominant in this our day: for per sons ignorant of the effe&s of the physical causes upon the moral faculty, are oftentimes inilrumental in the ruin of the youth conimitted to their charge; which may be imputed to a falfe opini on they entertain of felf-knowkdge, which induces them to undertake what they are often incapable of executing except at the risque of the fubje&'s life.

The young Iriflimen, ten in num ber, residing at the ci-divant Irish seminary, in the street of Cheval- Veit, (hall receive from the National Treasury, (he sum of 590 livres each, to defiay the expence of their journey. 2. The commiflioners of the Marines ft all take the necefTary measures to secure their departure as speedy as pofiible, for Ireland, their native coun try. A decree was pafied regulating the mode of paying the volunteer canno ifeefs. . The Convention were informed that a citizen named Philippe Roufatid, father of seven children, a labourer in the diftrift of Tarafcon, had, on account of the lofles sustained by the peasants from the depredation* of some fierce bears, resolved to risque his life to des troy these animals, and had fucce£ded in killing two of them. Having been much hurt in killing the second one, an annuity of 30QO livrei was decreed to him. The Convention were informed, that a new species of confp'tricy had been discovered. Ceitain men forged letters, mentioning remittances of money sent to emigrants, and subjoined the signa tures of persons whom they wifh'ed to destroy. The Convention confidfcring that the existing laws ate fufficient for the punifhmen't of this crime, did not pass any decree. Letter from the repreffntative of the People, with the army of the wef- ' tern Pyrenees, and the bouring Department 28th Germinal, April If; Citizens Colleagues, We have returned to Bayonne with the fatisfaftion of having estinguifhed the conspiracy, which was olt the point of breaking out ih the department of Landes. Onr letter of the 6th of this month, gave you a detail of the dread ful plot formed by these wretches, in order to produce another Vendee, and give up our frontiers to the Spaniards. We at the fame time stated the mcafttres which we had taken to fruflrate that plot, by ftizing the confpivators, and the success of all our proceedings. Since theh we have tifited the whole department, and have eveiy where per ceived the happy effects of our presence in animating the pijblie spirit, giving energy to the friends of the Republic, and in crushing and annihilating aristo cracy and royalifm, which had dared for a moment to lift their guilty heads. The severe measures which we have ta ken have saved that unfortunate depart ment, and spared the Republic the pre ciou« blood of many Patriots. The priests and the nobles were the foul and the chief of this horrible plot. The heads of the moll criminal have fallen on the fcaffold—the others are in chains. The land of liberty was there more than any where else polluted by the presence of refractory priests. These men who have braved the laws, and the fear of the fceffo'd, in order to kindle a civil war in the midst of the country, to spread devaluation and death, were found in several cantons of this department. Seven or eight of them have expiated their crimes with their heads, and we announce to you with fatisfadlion,- that the people of the department, enlight ened by the danger which they have run, are now driving them away, eagerly despoiling of their ornaments, the tem ples of hypocrisy, impolture, andfalfe hood, in order to convert them into temples of reason ; that the silver plate of the churches is colle&ing ; that there are already 800 marks in- the diftrift of Dax ; that there remains only one offi ciated priest in all the department of Landes—and what is ft'ill better, their absence is not regretted. The extraor dinary commission which has powerfully seconded us, has executed severe acts of justice and national vengeance. But, citizens colleagues, there Hill rema,in great criminals to punish, and principal ly in the city of Bayonne. The con spirators, in consequence of their con nexions in that commune, made them selves sure of it, and only desired the Spaniards and Emigrants to present themselves before thaf city that they might open their gates. We are going to enquire into this criminal correlpond enee, and you may be aiiyred, that the blood of all the traitoi# (hall flow upon the fcaffold. Secretai y. KINGSTON, May 17. Extract of a letter from Sir Charles Grey, to his Honor Major General Williamfon, dated the sth of Majr> 1794- I Have the pleasure to acquaint you of our having made a conquett of Gua daloupe and all its dependencies, viz. the Saints, Mariegalante, Deafeada, &c. the whole having furreudered on the 22d ult. and having before informed you of the capture of Martinique and at. Lucia*, we are now in complete pofiefiion of all the windward and lee ward Caribbee islands. " The trade from England and also the Cork fleet.aiej&ft arrived, withthe J 2d, 23d, 35 th and 41ft regiments. Tbe trade will proceed to-morrow under convoy of the Swan iloop of war, and other* will join. The day after briga dier general Whyte withthe troops will and put himfelf under your orders." * The information alluded to, has not been received. In consequence of the above intelli gence, a feti de joie was fired by the ioth regiment on the parade of this town by the 62d regiment in Spanish Town and a royal salute by the forts in the habours of Poit Royal and Kingston. Nearly the whole of the ports in Guadaloupe were taken by storm. The French fought desperately, and loft a considerable number of men. A detachment of our forces are gone against Cayenne, a French settlement oft the continent of South America, & their only remaining fettlertient. NASSAU, [N. P.J June 20. This morning arrived here the schoon er Port-au-Prince Packet, Capt. Dell, sent express from Port-au-Prince with intelligence of the surrender of that im portant place; with animmenfc proper ty/ jn (hipping and merchandize, to his Majesty's forces. Mr. Bryan, whocame pafTengerinthis veflel has been so obliging as to favour us with the following pai titulars of the military operations at Port-au Prince. On the Ift of June, the fleet, nnder the orders of Commodore Ford, con fitting of the Irrefiltible 74, Sceptre, 64, Belliqueux, 64, Europa, 50, le veral frigates and Hoops, with 4 about 40 fail of trani'ports, having on board three thousand British regulars, and about the fame number of colonial troops, ar rived off Port au-Prince. Early in the morning of the 2d of June, a summons was sent from the fleet to the town ; but the boat carrying the Officcr with it, was refufed a'dmif fion. ' At noon the fleet got under way. The Sceptre and Belliqueux placed them selves within 300 yards of Fort Briffe ton, at half pail: 12, and began a most furious cannonade, which was kept up, almost without iutetmilfion, till -sunset. At the fame time that the cannonade commenced, 1500 trooops commaded by Col. Spencer, were landed under co ver of the Fly sloop, two miles weft of the fort. At 4P. M. they marched from the landing place towards the fort, where they arrived a little before sunset; at 7 o'clock, in a heatfy rain, the troops a (faulted the fort, and after a short re finance carried it, with the lot oV about 20 men, among whom was Captain Wallace of the 22d regiment.—This gallant officer w«s among the firft who entered the fort; he had taktnthe Mu latto General prisoner, and neglecting to disarm him, the mifcreatit taking ad vantage of this, feizcd a favorable oc casion to shoot his generous conqueror; the wretch was wounded with a bayonet by Capt. Wallace's servant, but effedled his escape In the hurry andcon fnfion, inseparable from such iituations. In the evening of the 2d, 300 men were landed on *the fides of Lacahaie, 4 miles from Port au Prince, and were there joined by .700 colonial trooops under .{he command of M. le Point. This corps mwed towards the city in the night, and on ;}re march encounter ed and defeated a Wge body, of the enemy. This night patted off otherwiie very quietly. In the morning of Jane 3d,-two fri gates came to anchor with the two 64's, abreast of Fort BrliTeton. The day was employed in making preparations for aflaulting the place. About 8 in the evening, a heavy firing of cannon and muflietry begs the city, and continued with little" in termission during the whole night. This was afterwards learnt to be an a&ion between tire white inhabitants and the Brigands. On the 4th of June, at 7 in the morning, the tri coloured flag was hawl ed down at Fort L'Met, at 9 the faise was done at Fort St. Joseph, and about an lioui- after, at all the other Forts. At this time Colonel Spencer, with his corps, entered the city, without oppo. fit ion; took pofiefiion of the different batteries, hoisted the Britiih colours, and fired the royal falutc. General White, with the remainder of the troops about 3000 men, disem barked in the forenoon, and marched into the city. At noon the (hips of war entered the narbour, when each (hip fired a royal salute in honor of his Majelty's birth day, which returned from the ihote. * The British forces at the capture of Port au Prince, were detachments from the royal artillery, the royals, loth, 13th, 16th, 20th, 19th, and 6?d ; ?nd the whole of the 2zd ape 4.lft regi mdfrts, lately arrived from Ireland. On the Bth instant, a reinforcement of 1500 men arrived from Sir Charles Grey's army. The property captured, ashore and, afloat, is said to exceed two millions ileiling in value. ■ Santhonax and Polverell went on to Jacomtl on the 3d inft. When leaving Port-au-Prince, they urged the inhabit ants to set fire to the town and shipping, apd follow them. On the 7th inft. Colonel Whitelocke and Captain Rowley, failed in the Fly (loop, with General White's dispatches, for England. Our last accounts from America wear a more hostile appearance than ever. Our readers have in this paper, the cor respondence between Mr. Hammond and the American Secretary of Statej and will make their own commentjon it. Congress, we are told, have ordered 80,000 of the American militia to be embodied. This, fooie fay, is requi site to give rdpedlibility and authority to the federal government, without en tering into a&ual hottilities, defenfive or ptherwife ; for, in the disposition manifefted by some turbulent spirits, the overthrow of the present Ariltocratical Constitution of America, seems to bean objcft, many are anxious to accomplish.
