St -Pi erre, March 18. TO prove to the world, the invete rate cruelty enemies, we have permiflion to publish a letter received from Captain Campbell of the 46th re giment cwrnmanding at St. Vincent The savage conduit of the Charibs, mull principally be fcfcribed to the instigati on« of their allies at Point-a-Petre ; whose similarity jf manners, to our fjclc in Hospital at Petir-Bourg, and to the unfortunate people who have fallen into their powei, exhibits the fame fpiiit di recting alike the a&ions of each. Berijhire-Hill, St. Vincent, thi 13th March, 1795. Dear Sir, On the 10th inft. being the morning after we left the Regiirent, we arrived here—We part the night in running down the coalt of this iflaiid, beholding all the while the mod dreadful fpe&acles which pofiibly can be conceived. The face of this moll beautiful country is burnt to a'hes, and the planters are all driven for flicttei into the fort. The Charibs, and some ringleaders from among the French inhabitants are committing the tm>ft dreadfnl depreda tions ; burning every settlement they come near, and murdering every soldier or white inhabitant who comes within their reach, men, women, or children, without respect to age or sex. It being their intention to extirpate the Engliih inhabitants from the iflnnd. It is their way, when they wound and make any one prisoner, to cut them immediately up into small pieces, and burn their f! ;fh, in particular one Mr. Forbes and his wife ware most dreadfully maflacred. These savages even extend their barba rity to fucking infants, and have been seen to hold them by the legs with one hand, while they haek'd their flefh from their bones with the other, &c. &c. The remainder of the letter is not material to the public, the letter is ad di euedtoa brother dfficei at St. Pjerre'a. How providential has been the de feat which these monsters, of the human race, received on the night of the 14th inlt. which we hope ha* ftopt this ca red of Barbarity, so truly chara&ereftic of the disciples of Robespierre. The following is an account of the important vifiory gained by the British Forces over those barbarous savages. The French and Charibs after laying waste great part of that fine colony, had taken post upon Dorsetshire Hill, over the town of Kingltown. Governor Se ton having been reinfoicsd, and having assembled and armed a considerable num ber of the negroes, determined to at tack tke enemy. Accordingly, on the night of the 14th inft. the British force, commanded by Capt. Skinner, of his majesty's sloop of war the Zebra, and Capt. Campbell of the 46th regiment, stormed the Charib camp and gained a complete victory. The Charib King, Chateatlgai, was killed, with twenty others, twenty-five of them wounded, and about fifty more made pi ifoners, with two pieces of or dnance, their colors, &c. &c. On our fide Lieutenant Hill of the Zebra, was wounded, four seamen kil led and two wounded. The Negroes unanimoufiy joined the English, and behaved with the greatest ardor in the attack ; and are now hour ly bringing in prisoners. In Chateaugai's pocket was found a declaration ordering every one to join him instantly, upon pain of themselves, their women and children being all murdered, and their race extirpated.

Where Is the Frenchman who will rot join his brothers at a moraen twhen the voice of Liberty is heard by them? Let us then unite, Citizens and bro thers, round the colors flying in thrs island, and let us haflen to co-operate to that great piece of work which has been already commenced so gloriously. 4 But (houid any timorous men still exist, fhouM any Frenchmen be held back through fear, we do hereby declare to them, in the name of the law, tha t thole who will not be aflembled with u in the eourfe 8f the day, shall be deem ed traitors to the country and treated as enemies. We do swear that both fire and sword shall be employed against them. 1 hat we arc going to burn their estates, and that we will murder their wives and children, in order to an nihilate their race. Jof'ph Chateaugai, General. Foreign Intelligence. FRANCE. NATIONAL CONVENTION. Tuesday, Jan. 20. A deputation of the fe&ion of Con trat Social expresses the anxiety it feels from the violent fermentation that reigns in the spirits of the people; from the impunity of the criminals; from the murder of & patriot, friend to the National Cenvention ; and from the falfe alarms spread by the discon tented with refpeft to subsistence. What are you waiting for, fays the orator, to do justice to those who deserved it ? do you expect that the people should do it themselves ? (Honorable mention, loud murmurs from the mountain) Me rlin de Thionville fays, " when jnltice is rot adminiltered, we mult do it our felvei. It is an eternal prineiple." Tilt feftion of Champs Elyfees ex prefTes the fame feelings. Punilh the criminals; the public security requires it. The French people are roused; they have raised their voice ; it must be understood. Strike; such is the unanimous cry. Strike; now is the time. ( Honourable mention.) The fe&ion de la Fraterniteexprefles the fame sentiments. Let all those who participated in the crimes of the tyrant, participate too in his punishment. The feftion de Bonne Nouvelle fol lowed in the fame line. It was decreed on the proportion of the committee of general fafety, that there would be immediately proceeded to a general re-eledlion of the officers and subalterns of the armed force in France, by way of ferutiny; and that for being ele&ed, it fhouM be necessary to know how to read and write.
