Mr. Harrington, arrived at Salem from Cape Francois, infofrna, that, on the aoth cf September, a body of 500 troops from Ham deCap, (amongwhich Mr. H. him felf was) and auother from Petit Ance, at tacked a fortified camp of the Negroes on Gallifanit’s eflate, which was defended with p. cannon. The aflailants had five 24 pounder* and fix field pieces. The attack began at five o’clock in the morning, and they gained com plete poffeflionat nine; the free mulattoes and negroes, chiefly mounted, firft entered; a horrid carnage then ensued, the troops having orders to give no quartets to men, women or children ; and the daughter fini(hed at two oMockf'when the troops laid down their arms and went to plundering * after which they burnt every thing that was left, as they could not (pare men to defend the place; re-took • ftve white women,, whom the negroes had taken among many others on the plantations, and kept for wives. Previous to the attack the’C were supposed to have been in the place ’ 6000 negroes ; but it was found that they had been secretly retreating and carrying off their effects, tor two days before, to Red Bank, and ■ there were only about 2000 at the time of the attack. The whites 101 l only two meo killed, and a Dumber wounded,, in this engagement. material atfions took place after this, un til Mr. Harring'on’s departure* there was every day continual fkirmidling. After this engagement the main body of tbe negroes in that quarter of the country eftublidied them fe ves at Red Bank, a deep mountain, and ctytficult of accels, about thirty mile*.from the Cape. Here their numbers are variously reported, from B.to 10,000, including many whites, and a large propor ion of mulattoes, niany of whom are men of property an 1 good information, who are supposed, in revenge for the equality denied them, by the whites, to have inspired the negroes with ideas of li berty. Besides Red Bank tbe insurgents had pof feflion of Limbe, whe:e the s e are supposed to be io.oqo, defended by a strong ferr, hea<* vy aitillery, and amply provided with ammu nition : Thin was the firft place they took, by rising in the dead of the night; they had also poffeflion of L’Acul, where is a fort defend ed with four pieces of artillery. The whole number of insurgents (speaking moderately) ate supposed to be 80,000, but there is no certainty in this refpeft. • It is supposed the Negroes are supplied with arms from the Spaniards, as the cannon and fuzees taken from them were Spauilh.

In fciaffiiig 'the Senators'from the«*ftate of ' Vermont, Mr. Bradley’is of the class wkofe leats will Lccome vacant at the expirat*a <f four years, from Mafth 1791 ; and Mr. Ro binson, of that whole feat will* be vacated in fix years. A bill refpetfing Consuls and Vice-Consuls, and a bill to determine the time of. chccfing a Piefident and Vice-President of the-* Uni* ed States, have trad a tecHttd leading iu the 6e->‘ uate of the United States. The letter from the King of France to the National Allembly, in which he accepts cf the Constitution, is dated the 13th Septem ber. On the 14th he was to meet the Na tional Assembly t« ratify the celebrated in ftruinent in their presence. The ceremony of the Proclamation of the Conflitution took place on the ißth, in the Field of Confederation* The Mayor of Paris, preceded by Heralds,. and surrounded by a numerous and brilliant troop of grenadiers, afeended the Altar of the Country ; arrived at the fumrait, he held up the Constitutional Code to the veneration of an immehfei multitude of citizens, who tent the air with shouts and acclamations if joy. At five o’clock a superb balloon was railed, and in the’evening the moil brilliant illumina tion took place in the.Elyfian Fields, See. Sec. The King and Queen, with the Prince Royal, visiting these, were teceived with enthusiasm, and shouts i>f Viitt le Roi y and Ni-ve la Reine , were heardfrom all quarters. The aristocrats, it is said, are all in the uemoft consternation at the King’s accepting the Conflitution. Thus the National Assembly have brought their labors to a triumphant rfiue, by giving to the people of France a Conflitution, in which, like that of the* United States, the principle of improvement is infufed ; so that, if on experiment, it (hould be found inade quate to the preservation of peace; liberty and fafety,” it is susceptible .of being carried, to the degree of perfection. 23. When Congress adopted theYlatedebts, land put them on the fame footing as the con tinental debts, because they wete incurred for similar obje&s, peculiar difficulties induced the necessity of confining the afi'umption with* in certain limits, which were then known-'to be short of the actual slate of those debts* The oppofers to the measure felt their oppo fitton diminithed. because they few the utmost extent of the engagement —its friends acqui efeed, because they kuew that the eftablith ment of the principle mult finally lead to a geueral aflumption. The measure having ge nerally met with a favorable leceptiou from the public, and having evidently been attend ed with good effeft, there is no reason to an ticipate much oppofmon to the completion of so beneficial a fyflem, inasmuch as the-exift ifling ’revenue will probably supply an amp e fund for the puipofe. The furpiuffies of these debts must be very iuconfidcFable, ai.d it would be inconfiflent with that enlightened poiicy which has hitherto marked the pr oceedings ot the national legislature, to cripple a fyiiern which has beeu so univerfa’dy applauded and by a narrow miuded canduct to involve in per petual confufion the national finances. Some accounts tronr England, recently pub lished, inform that Mr. Burke is become so unpopular, that both his friends and. the world are deferring him —and even the Mi uiflets treat him with coldness.
