Extract of a letter from Havre, dated December 31.
"All the Colonies are enlarged, except those composing the Club at the Hotel of Malac. Our friend Avalle, is better; he had been very ill during the whole time he was in prison. Justice and humanity are the order of the day. The Jacobins, and the Agents of Robespierre are pursued; Sonthonax and Polverel are on the point of suffering all the punishment due to their crimes—The Commission is engaged in this important business, and are unremittingly employed in making their report.
"General Galbaud is employed in the service of the Republic. The criminals, as you see, will not be able to escape the chastisements, which monsters who, under the mask of patriotism, have destroyed the finest Colony in the Universe, deserve—they tremble; the Divine vengeance has not forgotten them."
