MARTINIQUE.
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.
Copy of the Declaration qf yofeph Cha
teaugai, chief of the Ckaribs.
Chateau-Belair, the 12th day
March, and the firfl of our
Liberty.
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.

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.
