We learn from 4 gentleman who lefr Pbrt au Prince, in the latter end of Au gust last, the following particular rela tive to the existing state of bfiVr in that country at the time of his departure.

If these conflicting sentiments continue to pre. vail. Port au Piincevmrst'fall. r Gen. Rigaud, from whose talents, en ergy and popularity, so much was ex pected, was lying sick at Je emie, General Gomoy hvd not surrendered with his army to Rigaud, as was report edtbut was still. in a state of open hos ttlity against the authouty of.

A gentleman, who was on the spot, the day after the violent Tornado,which happened at Bradford on the night of the 1 4th inst. states that the effects are great er than ever were before witnessed in this country fiom the iike phenomenon. 11 are astonished who behold the ruins Where poor Hardy's house stood, a scene ot desolation is exhibited which surpasses not only credibility, but even description. Every thing is laid waste, as though the besom of destruction had passed over that devoted habitation . The house and barn were torn by the fury ot the wind into atoms : the splinters and broken fragments are scattered in the di rection of the blast four miles. The whiilwind commenced about 100 rods to the west of this unfortunate man's dwelling, and passed to the Noi in-East, carrying complete destruction in its frightful train. It .was short in its dura tion & happily irf width it did not exceed five rods. It was accompanied with tor- rents of rain, and thunder and lightning. The midnight noise, the tumult and convulsions of the atmosphere, were so tremendous, that the affrighted neigh bors "thought the day of judgment had arrived." The sills only or the house remain. . At the west end, the sleepe'rs as well as the floor, are gone : the chim ney is nearly levelled with the surface of the earth. Every article of household stuff is demolished, either frittered to pieces or blown away and lost. The very stone walls, near where the house stood, are bidwn down some large rock near the foundation are removed that re quired the strength of two men to roll them back again. The family were in bed when the storm commenced, and it appears miraculous that a single life was spared. The chil dren were asleep in the western room, of which there remained not a single vestige but the sills. The infant which was killed was found 15 rods off, beyond a stone wall, under a large beam The others were picked up a mng the shat tered ruins within tho inclosure, and not much hurt. The' husband and wife found themselves at the opposite end of the house upon the floor among the bricks. The wife (enceinte) was very much bruised, but is rapidly onthe recovery. This scene presents objects to the Phi losopher curious and instructive to the -mm street, and down this street to iMotte street. At this time the wind, which .i the commencementof the fire was aboii' N. W. shifted to the E of N. wnic! drove the flames along Motie street consuming all the houses on each side except one, down to Queen-street ; thr both sides of this street to near the Bay ; and down Union-street to Broud-stre burning both sides. The wind now, shitt ed to the Noith and then to the weM ward of North, and blew very fresh. The fire broke through the Bay, at Mi Hart's new brick house, which it consul med ' From Union-street it extended round Broad-street and the Bay to Mi Hart's. Many of the vooden buildings were blown up to arrest the progress ot the devouiing element. The blow ing up of the house occupied by Mr Chupein, in Broud-street, above Union street, was the means of preventing the further extension of the flames up Broad street. The houses on the opposite side of this street, ne ir the Bay, were seve ral times on fire, but the wind shifting more to the westward, saved them. While the fire was ravaging this part of the city, the flakes, which were blown to a considerable distance, caught the reof of a wooden house on the Bay, two ' doors below Tradd-street, occupied by Mr. Baker, and entirely consumed it ; but the brick houses on either side pie vented it from spreading farther. , bout 9 o'clock in the morning of Monday, the progress of the flames ap peared to have been arrested ; but at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a large back store of Mrs. Kyan's, near'Lodge-Alley, on the Bay, was discovered to be on fire. The exertions of the citizens saved the contiguous buildings, and confined the conflagration to the store in which it began. ( The water in the wells held out much better than could have been expected, considering the drowth ot the season The bones of a female were yesterday discovered among the ruins of Union street. Several persons received injury in pulling down the houses, fences, &c. but we have not heard ol any that are se verely wounded The loss of property cannot, as yet, be accurately ascertained, but it is supposed that it will not be less than half a mil lion of dollars. The number of houses which were burnt and blown up, are a bout two hundred and fifty. j Bread and Meat were yesterday dis jtnbuted among the poor sufferers, and ; subscriptions set on foot for their relief.

" THE LOAN FUBLITJ DEBT. ; The prints advocating Federal prin ciples, consistent only in error, change bides with surprising facility. Some of i hem now bitterly inveigh against the udministrauon, because it has resorted to a loan in time bl peace. Without re ferring to the causes which have edu ced our revenue, it is sufficient to check their misrepiesentatioHs, to turn, their dwn weapons up n them. Let them re collect that it is, not to pay the ordinary expences of the Government that a loan has become necessary but to pay the debt contracted by rederal rulers in a period ot great commercial prosperity, h is from the ertion ol the Republi c .ns for nine years past, to rid the 'nati on of that load of debt with which the Fe deral administrations burdened it, that a deficiency now existsot in the amount necessary to pay the ordinary expences of the Government, hut in the sum an nually appropiiated for the payment of the principal in interest of the debt con tracted by federalists. The amount of principal and interest of the Public Debt leimbursable during the present year is 8, 000,000 ; the sum borrowed 3,500,000 dollars -leaving a balance of 4,510,000 dollars, which the Republicans have been able, notwithstanding the diminution of revenue, from commetcial embarrass ment, and the extraordinary expehcesbf defensive preparations, to apply to , the extinguishment of the debt so prodigal ly incurred in the good old days of Fede ralism . Its advocates appear to be cha grined that the present administration have been able to extinguish so much of the ruinous PublicDebt with which they oppressed the nation in the short time they held the reins of government. If there be any one thing on which the Re publicans may peculiarly pride them selves, it is the rapid diminution of the debt with which the nation waciogged, and the proof thus afforded by-thcir acts that they were sincere in their profes sions of abhorrence of the doctrine that " a public debt is a public blessing.' jYut InteCig.

Th& commercial man, who sells us the productions of foreign nations, and takes in exchange for them the gold and silver which we have earned by the " sweat of our brow' and then sends it abroad t Or The man, who manufactures the raw material of the farmer, and again i . i ti !i t ... circulates me goia anoisiiverwnicnrhe receives from the farmer among the. far mers again ? Who can have a doubt on the subject ? If the commercial man benefits the country he does so, by taking away our gold anu silver. If the Mechanick or Manufacturer benefits the country, he does so, by keep- ing our goia ana silver at home. Every country supposes itself more or less rici in proportion, to the quan tum or the gold and silvefhich she holds. ? Therefore, if the people of America are disposed to enrich themselves, they must adopt a policy, calculated to keep the gold and silver which they possess at home ,For if their policy encourages its ex portation, to foreign nations-ir must go.
