We learn by a gentleman from Cape Francois, that the news of a peace in Europe had not arrived at that place when he left it on the 11th inst. He gives it as his opinion that there will be no difficulty in amicably arranging matters between Toussaint and general Bonaparte.
The principal scenes of the revolt were in the different villages in the plain, all within 30 miles of the Cape, in which, it is supposed from 300 to 500 whites were massacred. Had it extended to the Cape, the loss to many American merchants would have been incalculable, as an immense property belonging to them, then in town, must have fallen a sacrifice.
