Chatham, July 17.
Dwr'ig the whole of this morning, and
n ;>f yellerday, a crowd of people continued,
. . i >10 th : s place, to fee the fineft fliip tm
uuih i«England, or perhaps in the world, launch
' td into the bosom of the water. At noon, tl.s
dock yard was quite full. Several booths were
ere&ed cloje to the (hip, and parallel to htr fides,
N for the reception of the Nobility, Gentry, j
The neighbouring hills of Brumpton, Chatham- j
Upnor, and Frindfbury, were coveted with, fpe£n.
'"tors, who could.not snd room in the dock-yard.
Several hundred pleasure boats were on the river.
At a few minute's pad one o'clock, the fhnnrls _
and ports were cut and the (hip moved (lowly
and majestically into her proper element. The re
gimental bands of music on board, immediately
ftruek up, " God save the King," and " Rule
Britannia," in which they were heartily joined by
the multitude, who rent the air with theii (houts
and acclamations.
In the evening, a splendid ball was given in ho
nour of the launch, at the Assembly Rooms in 110
cheller. We do not hear that any accident lias
happened, which, confideting the number ®f per
sons who came to view the grand fpe&acle, is a
very fortunate circumstance. —The builders fay
they sever had a better launch.
DUBLIN, August 15.
A very embarrafltng oircumllance has, we hear,
within these few days occurred at the Cullom hoiife
refpe&ing the feizute of one of the American vef
fel« lately arrived here with wine, &c. from Bour
deaux. As it was generally underrtood that the
cargoes of these (hips were not only the property ci
hjJVbj_!V'«/wijcAs in this kingdom, but were re
mittances in kind, the only one that they had an
opportunity of obtaining fqr sums of money due
from the hollile nation antecedent to the commence
ment of the war, a seizure and a eonfequent sale
wcr« £0"e through, pro forma, to enable the own

ever, tiiqtfrht to raise a furn of money for
the purpose ofoul bidding the proprietors of the last
cargo that has arrived, and by this means fully a

NEW-YORK, Oaober 31.
Foreign papers mention that the king of Prufiia

The spa;iifh Bart of this valuable island, which si
th<y have lately ted-d to France, is much
equal in refpeA to foil and situation to the old French {}
pofleffions on tie ifiatid. To understand the import- f,
ance as this •effiart- to France, should they adopt a
rational fyltem of police, it is fufficient to take a view '.
j of the immense productions, Frante received from her
I pare »f the island, before the revolution ; its confump- I
[ tion, aud its commerce, as taken from the documents
|of the adininillration as St. Domingo. '
i The French part 6f this island contained 2,500,000
| acres of land, whertof 1,503,000 were under rich ~
I cultivation in 1789 ; this furface was divided into j t .
i parilhes, regulated under a civil and military govei-ti- 15
| ment. Jn which were,
793 fugarworks,the firft of which wasbegunin 1700 '

3150 indigO
789 cortoa, J- PUntatior.i. -y,
54 cocoa, J • \
2150 mil's, whereas 510 were water-mills.
The produce of these plantations arnouiitcd annual- 1
ly to 20,000,000 of dollars ; which employed 700 na
tional veflels, averaging 350 tons each, bpTidts nearly n
the lame number of American vefTels of a l'maller H
burthen. (
The population was 36,000 resident whites ; 25,000 ].
free people of colour, ami 4.50,000 slaves; ,
The article* exported \ir 1788 to France, were, .
164,000,000 pounds of fdgar, (70 white, 94 brown.) *
68,151,181 coffee.
6,216,121 cotton. t
i *30,016 indigo. I
jo,ooo hogsheads of molaflej. v
303 do. v spirits. n
13,000 tanned hides.
The duties on the exportation thereof amounted to
' 139,J2„ dollars, equal to th« several expencus of the a
1 | government, and supporting a garril'on of 3000 troops. '
| Its mutual eonfumption was about 100,000 barrels y
. : of French flour ; 130,000 caflcs of claret, &c. a
5 | The sugar and indigo plantations wefc in the flat,- f
. > the coffee in the mountainous landi.
IThe plantations were for the most part enclosed
with live hedges, (traight and well drefled: the dwell-, 1
» | mg and manufactory houses were generally built and
• laid out with great neatnef. and taste; every inliabi- c
tant possessed a private- hofgital to cure its sick ne
groes, who were parentally dealt with ; the roads t
j were excellent—and from the general hospitality and *
cheerfulnefiof its former inhabitants, take it all in all,
' was one of the most enviable spots on earth.
Such was the French part of St. Domingo in 1789 —
' But, alas, it is no more —The definitive ravages of t
- an unrelenting infurreiStion, and frightful massacres <
and conflagrations, have laid watte all those beautiful {
. settlements, reduced the buildings to ashes, and laid 1
low in dust, or scattered in exile, its wretched inha- '
bitants. NeVertlidefs, with wife management, and <
such regulations as are to be calculated for the nature
' of the climate and population, it may yet regain its (
ancient splendor, perhaps redoubled by the Spinifh ]
5 acquisition.

. THE BRIDGE.
n We feel a pleasure in announcing that the Bridge
. at this place over the river Raritan is ft> far eora
plete as to render it paflable for carriages ; and we
• congratulate our fellow citizens that this nfeful
j, and arduous undertaking has been accomplished
vvit-h such expedition, and without any diftrefling
accident occurring to the workmen. The'railings,
■ foot-walks and gate are however not wholly com
plete ; but no impediment or obltacle arises to tra
vellers from the want of these.
The length of this grand ftru&urc is about 330
j s yards; its width fufficient for carriages to pass
t each other wyh ease, exclusive of a convenient foot
walk.—Thr wood-work of this magnificent build
ing rests upon thirteen large and lofty pillars, in
' eluding the two hutments, which for strength and
' elegance, we are warranted in declaring, far exceed
3 any thing of the kind in America.
A draw is placed over the deepefl water, for
permitting vefTels to pass and repafs. From each
extreme a gentle afceHt is observable until it meets
e the centre, which, befidea its ufefulnefs in permit
ting the water to drain off, has a pleasing effect
upon the observer.—The whole of the ftrufture
exhibits a specimen of workmanlhip, combining
a (Irength and elegance, which at once refleftt the
higlieft hauor upon the ingenuity of the builders
.. and the liberality of the proprietors.
0 Tt is to be regre? ted that the burden of this great
public convenience'fhould be borne by a few indi
viduals, a? tliere is room for believing that a suita
ble rate per cent, will not be realized for the great
advances, pains and trouble to which the proprie
tors have been fubjefted.

The late term of the Superior Court, tvhick
clofcd on Saturday last, was distinguished by an un
common diligence, wisdom, asd impartiality in the
court. It was seen that those defeas in the <rd
miniftration of justice, which have excited fucfl
general complaint, were not imputable to the judi
ciary system. It was seen that the laws have fuffi
cient energy in the hands of an able judge ; and
that our anxiety should be employed in filling the
bench, rather than in alteiing, or removing it.
This is the firft time we have seen judge Haywood
in the exercise of his office, jnd we were happy to
remark that his patient attention to business, hi*
calm and learned difcuflion, his upright and ("olid
opinions, obtained the most fmcere appjaufe, and
infpireda universal fatisfaaion.
