DUMOURIER.
from the Gazette of Erolonegen April 15.
Letters lrom Copenhagen mention—
On the 12th of Odober, last year, a
small ft zed man arrived here, who an
nounced himfelPfor a French American,
and soon after departed in an American
bottom for America. Afterwards we
were informed, that it was the famous
Dumourier, who finally despaired of re
eltablilhing the Constitution of 1791.
He was here not attended by any serv
ants, but received frequent visits from
a lady, who also took a passage with
him for America. When Dumourier
got apprized that the French deputies,
imprisoned by the Austrian monarch,
were to be delivered to the French, he
appeared to be lenfible that there re
mained no hopes for him any more to
emerge in Europe.”
From a London Paper.
No man who is not utterly loft fro th e
feelings of humanity, can read withou 1
mingled emotions of pity and indigna*
tion, the letter of M. Gillet, in which
the fufferings of La Fayette are so pa
thetically deferibed. The foul outrage
by which La Fayette was deprived of
his liberty, has only been furpalTed by
the horrors of his confinement. The
cells of the Baltile, and the prisons of
the Abbayeand the Conciergeriej were
nothing to the dungeons of Magdebourg
and Olmutz. The merciless and faa
guinary tyranny of Koberfpiere, ap
pears to gain from a companion with
the cool-blooded, unrelenting tortures
of Vienna. The victims of Koberfpiere
Were facrificcd to his faiety, when tiie
heart of the tyrant was diitradfted by
fear, and his relentment inflamed by riv
allhip. But in the lengthened miseries
and unabated oppreifion of La Fayette,
we find cruelty without paifion, injustice
without neceflity, and perseverance
without reraorfe.—Where was rhar po
lished refinement that fofren the calami
ties of war, by the attentions of humani
ty, and strips hostility of the rancour
of personal hatred ? Where was the
courtesy, that refpeft to the claims of
sex and rank, by which modern times
are proud to be diftinguilhed ? Where
the humanity that saw with savage in
citing indifference the sacred sorrows
of a (liltrelied \vi4e ? Where the gallan
try that exposed unprotected innocence
to the licentiousness of a brutal soldiery ?
The history of the unfortunate Fayette
forms a stain that will dim the iuftre of
the imperial diadem ; that will tarnilh
the annals of Europe. Posterity will
not believe that the ir.ftance would have
been endured, had it not been congenial
to our manners and habits. But to
whom is the family of this detestable
condudl to be aferibed ? The British
Minister refufed to interfere, because
with Allies like ours, interference only
in the cause of humanity would be inef
fectual, and the emperor denies his pow
er to redress the injustice and the cruelty
committed in his own prisons and by
his own servants! “ Englilhmen, what
C that inviolable hand which thus mur
ders defencclefs innocence in the dark ?”
Van we only refer the cause to those
envenomed counsels, that gloomy hypo
critical influence which controuls the
Court of Vienna 7 and to those difpofi-
Uons which can glut upon the futfer
ings of an individual, those paflions that
have not been fuccefsiully gratified by
wide-lpreading devallation of the
Crj; aoe railed againit the cause of liber
ty/ For the honor of humanity let the
jptamy, and if poflible the pumfhment,
hght upon the guilty head. It is unjuit
t ‘! i; jhe innocent Ihould be loaded with
. c imputation, or rliat the wretch who
reall )’ guilty Ihould be shielded from
p’ Let not however the cause of tiie
oalition be callad any longer the cause
mimanity and religion.—-Wiienever
* ac red words arc employed to im-
Columbian itftufcum, &c.
pose upon the credulity of Europe, the
imposture will vanish before the name
Fayette. Let the injuries, the fuffer
ings, the dungeon of Fayette—the un
heard of treatment of his wife and daugh
ters, open the eyes of the fubjeds of the
Confederate powers to the character of
the rulers under whom they serve, and
to the cause which they bleed to pro
mote;

NEW-YORK, September 1.
Arrived the schooner Sally, Stephens,
in 45 days from Londonderry, with 83
oallengers, all in good health, and hav
ing received the belt treatment. Capt.
.Stephens informs that the ship Deborah,
failed three weeks before him, with 550
jaflengers, for Philadelphia ; the A
•iolph, fordo. 2 weeks before, with the
fame number : the William and Henry
with 200, and the Eliza with 180, were
ready to fail for Nevv-Caftlc and New
York, on the 12th July ; and the (hip
Union, in a tew days after, with palfen
gers lor Philadelphia.
It is reported that several persons
have been lately taken up in New-
York, for counterfeiting Boston Branch
Bank Bills, and that 50,000 Dollars,
together with the plates, have been
found on them—the plates were in the
fwles of their Boots when taken.
Extrad from the New-York French
Gazette of the 29th August, 1796.
SupprtjJion of relief to the French Refugees t
The French republic had granted l üb
fiftence to a small number of colonilts,
who had been forced by the dangers of
every kind which fur rounded them in
St, Domingo, to take refuge on the
Continent ; the new Commilfaries have
hastened to recal into the Colony, not
those who could be ufeful, but the wo
men, children and old men; In conse
quence of which, they have been invited
to enroll themlelves for two flags of
truce, which have been sent out: declar
ing, that from that moment, every kind
ot aliiitancc would be withheld: Very
few have embraced the opportunity, be
cause they had no asylum or resource,
particularly in the northern part of St.
Domingo ; because women and children
could not be prevailed on to abandon
their patents, their huibands, their bre
thren, who might have supported and
protected them in a country laid waste,
and exposed on all sides to the ferocity
oflawlefs plunder. Thus, these unfor
tunate people, so worthy of protection,
expeil and from the bosom of their coun
try, ot whofc favours they have not been
undeserving ; banilh’d from their habi
tations by tyranny or anarchy, fee them
selves doomed to sigh amidlt the hor
rors of indigence in a foreign land.
Happy could the philanthropic nation
which has afforded them an alylum, join
to this benevolent action, that of ena
bling them to exert their industry, and
to procure those comforts denied them
by the country to which they owe their
miserable exigence.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 31.

Captain Banks from St. Euftatia, ar
rived at Boston, fays, that island is quite
desolate—no business going on, the larg
eit part ot tht Dutch inhabitants having
left ir.
Capt. Charnock, in the brig Lavinia,
12 days from St. Christopher’s, informs,
that a large fleet failed from that I Hand
with a very strong convoy, on the 27th
ult. bound for England ; they were
joined by a number of Merchantmen at
Tortola, and proceeded for Europe on
the firft inst. At St. Christopher's,
Capt. Charnock saw the L'Aimable, a
British. frigate of 32 guns, that had been
engaged with the La Penfee, a French
frigate of 44. guns, out of Gaudaioupe ;
they fought tour glasses, when the Bri
tilh frigate attempting to board, which
the French frigate avoided by (heering
off a (hort diitance, the action ended,
both the Ihips being levereiy (battered.

Captain Reynolds, of the Brig Lydia,
who arrived here on the 19th inst. from
Cape-Francois, informs, that previous
to his leaving that place, the Briti(h had
landed forne- troops in Machineal- Bay, a
little to the eastward of Port Dauphin :
That since that time the Brigands, who
live in the mountains, in the neighbour
hood of Port-Dauphin and Caracole,
had become very troublesome to the Re
publicans, and murdered several of the
people who inhabit the plains, and burnt
several plantations. Avery considera
ble armament from the Cape and its
neighbourhood, were gone out againit
them, and it was generally believed
would soon reduce them, as a number ol
prisoners of the Brigands, were sent
in almost every day. Several fail ol
French frigates had failed previous to
the Lydia, supposed to have gone to in
tercept the Jamaica fleet,’amongft w hom
was Captain Barney. That provition>
were plenty and cheap in the Cape, and
since the arrival of the Cominillioners
from France, order and regularity in
business, is in a great degree eftablilhed.
Capt. Reynolds - further informs, that
he saw a French frigate on shore, on the
blue Caycos, the crew of which had ar
rived at the Cape, a few days before he
failed.
