NEWBURYPORT, June tz,
. On Saturday last, capt. Daniel Stone ar
rived here from Point Petre. He left that
place on the firtt of June, and fully con.
Arms the account published by capf-Lang
d.»i, who arrived at Button on Thursday
viz. That Degres commanding the
til ck. troops at the fort in Balfaterrc, left
1 hat fort orv the night of the 23d of May,
whether by stratagem or compulsion lie
cannot and made a sudden push at
Point Petre, burning and destroying all
s he plantations in their way. The while
army followed, and had several Ikirmifhes
with them before their arrival at the Point,
which was on the 27th or 28th, when
they had a very severe engagement, where
in the negroes were beaten and dispersed,
lofir.g about 700 men, and the next day
' bent 400 nere taken prifefters and bro’t
the Point, where they were immedi
t*ly foot. Pelage was fccond in com
mand in the white army during the en
. gagement. Gapt. S. thinks that thebu
finds will fcon be finittied—and yet from
Aune circumstances he mentions, there is
reason to apprehend it will not. He in
forms that all Grand Terre remained qui.
rt, until the day he failed, when he law
a number of large fires—fiom which it is
to be feared the negroes in that quarter,
expefting that Degres would be Aiccefe
£ul, have joined in the rebellion—and if
so, it will be a very difficult thing to
quell them. However, this is only con
jecture, and may not be realized. The
property they dettroyed in their rouse from
JSattaterre to the Point mutt have been ve
ry great, as they patted through Capc
terre, where arc some of the largest and
finett plantations in the ittand. Captain
■- Stone cannot fay whether the plantation
negroes joined the insurgents.
