NEWRUXYPORT, June 8, 180. Sor Ser FROM GUADALOUPE... By Capt. Lunt, who arrived here on Saturday daft, from Bay M ha, we learn that a fleet arrived off Point Petre, from Brett, coniling of three ships of the line and three ingates, with a number of transports, with 5 or Goco troops, under the command of Adm. Baubet and Gen. Richepanie. On ew arrival, Gen. Velapey attended by his le guard, assembled at the landing place to swerve the commander of the French troops, but instead of treating him with politeness, the French Gen. embraced him with the ‘tracernal bug,’ard confined him in his house with a strong guard, and the poor Liacks who complied with every thing offer ed, were forced on board the shippine in a iaink shocking condition, from 1509 to 2000 on board edith ship, where they were exposed to the heavy rains and scorching rays of the sun, which generally prevail in that climate. In consequence of the blacks being confined on board the f:pping, a large abmibet de serted, and went to Baffaterre, where they made known the deplorable Hace of their countrymen, which inspired them with the true ardor of freemen, and made an obsti nite refistance under command of Gen. Deleresy but it proved ineffectual, and the wi was taken by storm, and every person who opposed them were massacred, except a w who retreated to fort Charles, where by concentrated their forces. They were pursued by the French, who began bombard ing the fortress—and it wupposed that the fiue would prove favorable to the French. No intelligence is received of the arrival of l St. Domingo Reef at Guadaloupe. MEMORY OF WASHINGTON. To The Citizens of the United States. When your beloved WASHINGTON, the father of this country, died !—You saw with increased, sensibility the universe in tears ‘ Americans ! thon did your'Belorus dilate and glow, when at the first meeting of your polit ical fathers following the melancholy event, you saw the call for a MONUMENT worthy of the sublime virtues you hoped to perpet uate, Universally applauded . How then, fellows-countrymen, have you permitted two whole years to pass since the noble and natural refulution was everywhere individually formed ; and the traveller still to ask in vain, Where is THE NATIONAL MONUMENT, faced to public ‘and private virtue 310 the ananes of the illusrious WASH INGTON? Columbians ! You: owe to the world, as well as to yourselves, an apology, or an ex planation, for the mysterious delay of your acknowledged ‘duty . Since nothing’ can be more true, than that a more'difference of opinion, respecting the form of the Mon ument, or the mode of its elevation,is the ir cause.
