Ex'rcft if a letter from a meidisnt at St |ago de Cuba, to a merchant in Balti more, dated June 2r, 1800. " I invite you.'particularly to (hip Flour ?.nd fait provifnns to this part of the ifl nd. With n a few day 3 pad, flour has risen to an exorbitant price, as has also fait pro visions andr dry goods. Several (hipments liave recently been ma 'e to the foytb part of St. Domingo, which have, notwichlland ing fevcral arr vals from Curracoa and St. I homas's, answered admirably well. In that department coffee keeps down at 12 and 14 sous, and flour up at 30 dollars. " Rigaud's army is in good condition, and keeps in awe that of Touflaint, which, these 40 days past has taken pod before the bridge of Maraguace ; both armies have re mained inaftive ever lin'ce. It appears that Rigaud will maintain himfelf agaii.ft the ef forts of Touflaint. You have leari.t, no do.bt, that the former was obliged to re treat at the passage of the bridge at L.eo gane. The troops of Touflaint committed the moil barbarous afts of murder and pil lage ; aud the inhabitants of the south, fee ing that the traitorous and savage Touflaint was intent on their lives and property, rose en m Jfc against him, and beat bim out of the poll he occupied, from St. Michael's to the aiorefaid bridge. " The merchants of Aux-Cayes and other places', have formed an atTociaiion for the purchase of powder and lead ; and I am in formed have railed by fubfeription, the sum of 6",000 dollars for that purpose. Rigaud maintains His influence in his department— and one and all have determined rather to periih tfian to submit to the hypocrite 1 ouf faint. " Two pilot boats have lately arrived at Jeremie, loaded with a cargo of powder and lead, which will be of great service to that department. Five (hips from Bordeaux have lately arrived at AuxCayes and Se quin ; they inform th t capt. Dupeyrat, who was the bearer of Kigaud's difpatc! es to the consuls of France, gave information that those dispatches tended to chai,ge the government very much agaiiift the c<,ndudl of Touflaint; and it was generally believed that be was greatly influenced by the Eng lish ahd French Emigrants, which are in great numbers pt the Cape and Port Re publican. " Every thing was tranquil in the depart ment of the south on the 16th June, the day that a Spanish schooner left Aux Caycs. Kigaud had fee off the day before for the army, before the bridge of Miraguane ; and it is believed that the cause of his departure was to repulse Touflaint as far as Grand Guave. Sanguine expeditions are tntcr taioed that this will not be a difficult task for him. . " Maay inhabitants of th* neighbourhood of Miraguane, have been maflacrced by bands of soldiers from the wdl. It is said that Messrs. St. Croix, father and so», formerly governor of the south of St. Domingo, are among them. Yon may depend that a (hip ment of flour for this place will turn to • good account." From a Paris paper of June ift, received by the Polly from St. Sebafiiam. On the 20th May arrived in the Road of Havre, the A mertcan frigate Portsmouth, Captain M'N«il, of 26 twelve pounders, in 86 daya from N'ew York Two officers came a(hore the Battery de la Heve, and were escorted to the city by the soldiers of the poll. They went to inform the commander, that this frigate had been sent to Havre, to wait there for the Commiffi T oners, who were negoc'ating with our go vernment. They received affnrances that the French nation, and particularly the inhabitants of Havre would give them an honoura'oleand hospitable rectption They returned on board with a French offic r, an interpreter and a pilot, who were doubtless charged to offer the captain any afliilunce he might (land in need of and to make the necessary arrangements fcr the encry of the frigate. On the officers going ashore the Portsmouth fired 15 gu"B. The batteries retnrned the salute with nirte guns, which was answered by the Portsmouth with 15 more.—The negotiation is near being hon orably terminated for both parties ; ?nd, it is expefted, the American Cotnmiffioners will leave this city, the latter end of June. In one <?f the French paper? we find an account of the aftion between the Venge ance and Constellation, in which it i> aver ted, that the Constellation "Ji jl ceafeJ her Jlre ami left the Jit IJ of battle" It however allows that thi Vengeance " was not able to pursue." MB. WATKi, WHEN your correfpondrnt >em«rked on the title of the paper conduced by the foreign atTaflin of General Washington's fame, he was not apprized of the sol owing fa ft in the life cf the Gin-guzzling Jasper —a tad. which gives considerable congruitv to the title of '• Auro a" as relative to its present worthy Editor. This Gentleman it seems was a Peep-o'day Boy fn Ireland, and forfome of his feats in that charn&er, was furnifhed With a pas sage at the King of Gre3t-Britain's expence to a colony in the southern Ocean, whence, while under the care of a Jailor, he contri ved an escape to the United States, where he struts a capt.iin and shines a moralill.

J. J. Rousseau. Rnufleau poflclTid a'l the head-drone; ab surdities of genius. He was a mixture of rsilk and vinegar, of hone/, and of gall, every thing by turns, and nothing long,— He has been called a philosopher run mad, an inspired ideot ; dull, trifling, imperti nent, and disgusting. Yet, it is impoiUble to deny, that the author of i'.milius was a man of genius ; now, good, solid, generous, sublime ; the next moment vile, contempti- 1 ble, vain, supercilious, and affetted. But it is not to difCiiminate, or enter on an enquiry into the ch a rafter of the inspired mad-man qf Geneva, that he is mentioned in this placs, but to notice a glaring m confiftency in bis system of toleration. Towards hereticks, Roufleau appears to be pacific and mild ; but against fana'icks, he boldly recommends corporal puniftiment, and the vigor of the magiftrave. It seems as if the spirit of Cilvin, with a new hjric, dill hovered round the lake of Geneva, in hope that he might difnlifs a new viitim to the fliades below, who meeting the unhappy Servetus, might tell him, that like him he too had been doomed to the flames by bigo try. " By bigotry," would the surprized Servfctus exclaim, " by bigotry, in the eigh teenth century." " Yes," might the Gran ger have replied, " the cruel unrelenting bigotry of scepticism." " Fanaticim," fays the intolerant Philoso pher, iL is not a corrigible error, but a blijjd and fenfelcfs fury, which reason can never keep within bounds. The Only way to hin der it from spreading, is to restrain the dis ciples of it. It is in vain to demonflrate to madmen, that they are deceived by their leaders ; they will flill be as eager as ever to follow them. Wherever fanaticifm has been introduced, I fee but one way to (lop it's progress, ani, that Is, t» combat it with it's own weapons. Little does it avail to reason with those whom it is impoflible to convince ; You most lay asidb philo sophy, shut YODK BOOKS, TAKE UP THE SWOID, ANIJ PVKjSH TUB KNAVES." This fentiraental ftfoundrel is the pagod of the French revolutionifb : his works are in all their hands. This sentiment is the foundation (lone, the leading principle, of all their labours ; it is thus they wo«ld break the sceptre of monarchs by the fwori of philosophy. Oh were I fctied high at my amHtion, IM place this naked loot on Deck* of monarchs, And make them bow to creeds ir.vfclf would laugh at. This, Americans, ij the toleration you have to expect from a modern philosopher, from a disciple of the French school. If you ever en trull the keeping of your civil and religious liberties to such a man, you deserve justly to fuffer all the niiferies he can inflnf>. It was the Encyclopedids ecotinmifb, and sther calls of philosophers, that prepa red the wsy for that monflrf us fcour-e of hnni tnity, the French revolution. It was in the name of virtue tljat it's hellish agents committed the mod dreadful outrages ; iu 1 the Dcred names of Liberty and Equality t nt an hundred thousand bafliles wrreere£l ed. Their pages have been ranfarked to cover criuv s with|polifhed names, and to ren der the work of deflruftion more ingenious. Murders, and robberies were called energetic meafurei ; blood, fl .wing in flreams, the perspiration of the body politic. But it will be fti , that there are no men in America, capable of such enormous cru elties as the Jacobins of France. Why not ? Are not some of the British, Germans, or Irifti, or their delcrndants, as able to pro duce a Marat and a Robespierre, as the once humane, refined, and magnanimous French nation ? Yes ; by embracing a philofopliy which tends to harden the heart, to annihi late religion, and to glois over the mod atrocious deeds with popular names, they would rival, if not furpals their proto-types. And who is so proper to lead the w.iy in such a work, as a man addidled to French politicks, French manners, and French phi lofcphy ; tfpecially if, by some fatal mistake of the tunei, this perfoliate has acquired the honored title of the " Man of the Peo ple ?" Wit, on all fubjecls is eagerly fought and reqd with pleufure. We fometinies dis cern it even in the arid sentences of an ad vertisement.
