April 30'" — General Maitland, the Britifli commander in S'. Domin- 

 go, entered into a treaty -with General Touflaint L'Ouverture, the 

 French commander in chief, whereby it was agreed, that the Britifli 

 forces fhould evacuate Port-au- prince, Saint Marc, and Arcahaye ; and 

 that the French general fliould guarantee the lives and properties of the 

 inhabitants attached to the Britifli interefl:, who fliould cliufe to remain 

 in the country. In confequence of this treaty thofe French inhabitants, 

 who, dreading to remain behind their protedors, had already fliipped 

 themfelves onboard the Britifli vefl^els, with the exception of a very few, 

 relanded with their families and moveables, and returned to the enjoy- 

 ment of their properties. 



Touflaint L'Ouverture, a mulatto, who is faid to have been a flave 

 before the commencement of the difturbances in S'. Domingo, has by 

 his prudence and great abilities, recovered that noble ifland from a 

 ftate of ruin, defolation, and rapine, to a degree of profperity and 

 tranquillity. He has reftored order and government in fubordination 

 to the mother country, by whofe authority he holds his commiflion.
