Gazette Of The United States

Extracts of letters from Cape-Francois of the 6th and 8th of November, to a gentleman in this city.

"In my last, I mentioned that the Assembly had advised the Editor of La Gazette du Four, to forbear publishing any thing concerning the insurrection here, which indeed was true: but I was not then apprised of the true motives of the Assembly. It appears that a majority of that house are Aristocrats—indeed it is certainly so—and have consequently passed an edict, prohibiting the publishing of the grounds and progress of the revolution, or any thing concerning it. This Edict you will see in the Gazette of to day, which I have enclosed.

"There are but few people here who relish the Edict, regarding it merely as if a cock had crowed.

"Since writing my letter of the 6th instant, the insurrection of the Mulattoes has nearly been put an end to: And yesterday the greater part of the volunteers returned, having left a few to watch the motions of the few remaining rebels, who are about 400, the rest having dispersed, and with them their leader, whose name is Oge, not Ojay, as I before wrote it, who has fled to St. Jago, in the Spanish part of the island. A reward of 1000 joes has been offered by the government to apprehending him. Thus has a dangerous insurrection been quelled by the spirited exertions of the volunteers."
