March 13 :
The princess royal of France was presented yef
terilay'at court to a very numerous and brillinnt
circle ? her royal highness was presented by the
empress herfelf to the ambalTadors and their ladies,
and to some other ladies of the firft rank : after o)
which the other ministers and nobility were prefen- t j
ted to the princess. The scene was interesting and
affecting, and particularly so to the Imperial Fami- -y
ly, who seemed to feel it very sensibly. The prin- d
cess royal was much touched at the attention (hewn q
to her, and her embarrassment upon her entering
the room added lustre to her beauty, as well as to D
the grace and affability with which her r»yal high- j
ness returned the compliments paid to her. Her
- royal high ness particularly said the handsomest
things possible to marthals Lafeey, Clairfavt, Col
loredo, Pollegrinl, and to count Trautmanfdorf,
when they were presented to her. Six noble emi- n
glints were alfa presented to the princess, who re- g
ceived them with much sensibility. In the evening f
the princess appeared at the Theatre, and, was re
ceived with the molt violent bursts of applause.

Payments here and at the Cape have been for
mally fufpended—Perroud is gone to the City ®f
St. Domingo, it is said to meet the Commissaries V
from France; but many doubt the truth of the re
port of their arrival. The situation of Government
here and at the Cape is lamentable indeed. The C
General is obliged to have a valt number of troops
with him for his protedtion, and he is without a (in
gle barrel of flour—they have become clamorous,
and without speedy relief the worll of consequenc
es are to be apprehended. Here we are not so bad
ly off tor provisions ; but the troops ate so much
harassed with constant duty, that there are many t
malcontents : to insure fafety to the town, they
are constantly obliged to patrol, and scarcely a week ,
pafles but we are menaced with burning the town, \
killing all the Whites and Mulattoes, and these me- |
naces by the Africans, who do not know what they
want."

Our indecision refpefiing the (lave trade,, will cer
tainly affect our national character. The sincerity
of our profeflions will be questioned. We have been

cause of God and man, and yet we refufe toabolifh
(I the (lave trade, which outrages every principle of

We have lavished so much of our humanity and
justice upon France, that we have none to spare for
Africa.

On the nth of May, arrived at the Cape a se

74 guns, and the third a frigate of 44 guns. A
third squadron was announced, and expected in eve
