'\Ve arc informed that Mr. Richard
<il:»rk, architect fromAuguffa, Georgia,
i t lS contracted tor building the bouth-Cu
rulina college, to be.greeted in Columbia.
The work we underßand, is to be com
menced immediately.
• A Barbadocs paper of the 30th Oclo
her fays—We underlhmd that so great a
mortality prevails among the French
troops at Martinique, that they have a
baadoned Fort Royal or Fort de France,
where near 300 men and 40 officers had
died, and that the contagion hud follow
ed them to Fort Defaix, (late Fort
Bourbon) they are about to Pnuc thatgar
rifon up also, and remove to Grand Morne
The town of Sr. Pierre is, however,
healthy.
It Teems that they are determined at
Martinique to prohibit all commercial
intercourse with the Biitilh colonies; for
weuaierltand.tiut all veffls arriving there
from any of our illands, are cfofely watch
ed, and those leaving it cloftlv examin
ed, nd every article feezed that comes
tinder a mercantile defeription. The brig
Jane, fro u hence to that illand, has been
detained, and a guard pat on board, for
having flour in. The Americans are pro
hibited importing every article of produce
hut rice and fifh, the latter of which pays
a duty of one dollar per cwt.
We have received by the Mercury,
regular hies of London papers to the 9th
October On a haily perusal, wc do not
notice any articles ofTufficent moment to
\ detain the press. The wretched inhabi.
tants of Switzerland arc diitraded with
civil djffe'ntions—fevcral actions have
tnken place with alternate success, be
tween the pcafantry and the troops of the
Helvetic Republic :—Buonaparte, howe
ver, has assumed the power of fettling
their differences; and has addressed a pro
chmation to the inhabitants oi that coun
try, which affords an admirable picture
of the Fird Consul’s character, and a fa-
Ititary lesson to other nations of what they
might expert from his gcncrofity, were
they laid at his mercy. He tells the
Swiss, that he had resolved not to inter
fere in their affairs; hut the miseries of
\Vhich they were the victims, had moved
him to compassion, and he had now deter
mined to become the efficacious mediator
of their differences ; and detires them to
link upon his interference as a bhjjing Jent
f>j Divine Providence ! ! !

Mr. Smith,
Having obfervcd in your lull paper the
publication of a copy of a later from the
Hen. Albert Gallatin to rayfelf, which
it appears you had extracted from the Mo.
tutor, and which is so incorrectly printed
as to render it almost unintelligible.*-1
am induced to forward you a cor reef co
py, and to request its infertiou in your
next.
The copy pullilhed in the Monitor must
have been obtained Irom one of the clerks
of the general aftembly, before which,
copies ol the original were laid, and w he
ther the incorrcrtnefs is with cither of
them, or the printer, I cannot fay, hut
u is so palpably erroneous, 1 trull you
will think with me, that in jufticc to
Mr. Gallatin, it ought to be re-publilh
ed. I am, See.

Copy of a letter front the Hon. Albert
Gallatin , to George R. Clayton , Secre
tary to the Executive Department of
Georgia.
'Creafury Department , Sept. 8, 1802.
Sir— l had the honor to receive your
letter ol the I 2th tit. enclofmg a ftare
ment of the monies which have been with
drawn from what is called the “ Yazoo
Dcpolit,’*
The United States being now, in con
fequcnce of their agreement with the
state of Georgia, placed in the fame re
relation towards the (t Yazoo claim
, ams,” in which the date formerly f ood,
it is of importance that they Ihould be
turnilhed with such documents or infor
mation, in poffclScn of the state, as
may enable them tally to repel improper
claims, or, if congrels (hall think it molt
eligible to make a compromise, as will af
ftlt in rendering such compromise as ad
vantageous to the public as circumltances
will admit.
On that account, the commiffioncrs on
the part of the United States, whole
duty it is to make a full statement tocon
grel's at their next leflion, of the nature,
extent, and prelent lunation of all claims
derived, or pretended to be derived from
Georgia, are desirous of obtaining Irom
the Itate, the copies of the law's under
which the sums fpecilied in the statement
you inclofed were withdrawn, and also
the particular evidence under which each
sum was paid to the applicants. 1 will,
therefore, thank you to communicate
and transmit to this department, or to
the Secretary of State, such tfanferipts as
are neccftary for that purpose, as well as
every other information relative to the
formation and fubfeqnent modifications
of the several companies, which you will
confider as calculated to throw light on
the fubjert.
1 regret that the illness of the gover
nor ftiould be the cause W'hich prevented
his writing, and from a fear that the fame
- —reason may continue to operate, have di
reded this letter to yon.
I have the honor to be, Sec.
On Wednesday last an elcrtlon was
held at the court.houfe for a member to

Extract of a letter , dated Port-au-Prince ,
l 2th November, to a gentleman of this
place,
“ The department of the North has
been evacuated, except the Cape, St. Ni
chola Mole, and the illand of Tortudas,
in the Weft,Gonaives, Vcrrettes and Lar
cahaie, are also evacuated. Gen. Leclerc
is dead with grief, and the jacobin ge
ncral, Dugua, and his secretary, have
poisoned themselves after the terrible af
fray that has taken place at the Cape, the
result of which has not anfwercd the ex
portations of these two mifereants who
connived with the Brigands. All the
town negroes at the Cape have either been
Ihot or drowned, as also all the black
prisoners. The fame step has been pur
sued when the troops have fallen back on i
St. Marc’s. General Rochamhcau has
fueceeded to general Leclerc. He knows
and fees but the happiness of the colonists,
with whom he furrouads himfelf, and he
has our confidence.
The South still holds out, as also Jcre
mie, in which place more than 1000 ne
groes have been killed. A Cordon has
been eftablilhed at Miragoane, which
preserves this part of the illand from the
revolted. General Uiahin commands
