FRANCE. PARIS, SLP F NIBER DFOSALINIS.—The SerlAf'•r Kt LLERMAN has re ceived a letter friim one of his relations, an unfortu nate colonic of St. Dotrinc,-, who with the greeted difficulty 'leaped the afErtirns of the ferocious Ms eatiess, and who resides at prefent in the ifland of St. Croix. This letter coutains'fome mute PArtiClll.lrS concerning tie prefen rituationoithz pre etdid Repub lic of Hayti. ."I'he greatest difunion prevails among the Chiefs of the Negro army ; and, 10 far from com bating together againit the French and Spaniards at St. Domingo, they are fighting againd and cutting the throats of each other ; each General having made himiUf Sovereign fepat ate diarist, which he rules and defends with his adherents, againfl all oppofers, and where he bids defiance to DEssat.tess and his urders. The Negroes refufe abfolutelv to work; and when the proddlions of the latt f.e n, the remnants of the cultivation of lag year, are con fumed, fataine will be added to the other curies of that unfortunate Wand. The number of negroes exiling there is calculated to amount to 300,000 at the highell ; but of there, men from IS to to, the only ones able to carry arms, or cultivate the ground, are not proportionate with the remaining popula,rion, but only as one to five. es DiSSALIIi SS is not ignorant that moll of the in illations, as a Legion of Honour, a Senate, Prefects, Maids of Honour, &c. dm which he has the arrelatity ' to decree for his people of Hayti, expofe him to be laughed at by all Itrangers, and that it is extremely ridiculous in him to pretend to condo& vagabonds, (uc as thole of whom he is the chid, according to a fytlem defigned after the mg bee:wild nada of Eu rope. But he anfwers, that he does it only to enrage his-enemies, by imitating tome of their attar/dial& in- Ritutions,. and that as lung as he is alive, no changes ' Ihall take place in France, without being decreed by him at St. Domingo, being, as he has the modefty to fibrin Bo AAAAA Tli OF TNIF NSW WORLD. As this chief of banditti excites the public at tention and curiofity fur the prefent, as much as his predeceffor TOUSSAINT did fome years ago, it can not be uninterelfing to give the public lime ideas of his perfon and character. Dassaeress is about 42 years of age ; the enferoßle of his phyfiognomy of fers fomething fierce and favage. His features are coarfe, and his figure difagrecable, without being un commonly ngly. He is about five French feet and two inches high ; he is robutl and (quit. As to his character, Europeans have already formed a tolera bly juft idea ; but the following traits will make them Rill better acquainted with it : " Crafty and hypocritical, as generally are all ne groes,he is, befides, brurith, padionate, and violent to the highett degree. He infpires a kind of terror in every one who approaches him, and he is with rea too feared, becatile he does not hefitate to do himtelt • immediate juilice for the leaf( contradittion he cs. periences, either with his daggers, fwords, pidols, or by poifon. To offend him is certain &link:non, and to *ale him is no fecurny but for the moment. When he hates once he hates for ever, and his likings are as changeable as the wind. His first favourite .today is not fore but that he may be his first victim to-morrow. Ambition is his ruling paCfion, to which avarice is only a fecondary one, and his limiting cruelty is the natural consequence of them both.— ,Fle is Paid to love his wife and children, but he ufes them rather as his Paves than as his companions.— Friends be has none. Even thole whom, from the caprice of the moment, he overpowers with his be- Lela/lions, &fire his deka...lion, as the only fafety of not bting plundered tat murdered, by the caprice of the next moment." Such are the outlines of a moral and political portrait of the man who has been criminal enough to ufurp the foveteignty over the firft colony in the Weft Indies.—Le Lief dir They write from Milan, that the 9th of Novem ber, or the day when their Prefident is to be crown ed, as an Emperor of the French, will be zelebrated in the Italian Republic with great Col:Amity. A Prograrnma has already been printed, and fent by the Vice Prefident to all the depar meta. and municipa lities of the Republic. Every town will fend depu ties, and a certain number of national guards are in vited to be prerent. The tete, are to continue for fix days, during which the Vice Prefident, 1515r.221, Field MarthalosJoutuar, and the Members of the Confulta, are, by turns, to keep open honfes, receive affembhes, and give b.:lls.

SEPT. ON - ----- According, to letters from Naples, the French troops under General Sy. Cyr, in that kingdom, amounted to 25,000 men. Immediately after the report of the Governor of the Ifle de France, General Dime Is, concerning Lirsoss's conduft in his engagement with the Eng lifh China fleet, had been laid before BON AP UTE. at Aix-1.-Chapelle, and he had given his pertnifli , bn for its infertion in the Moniteur, he ordered the Minifter of the Marine Department, Decals, to write to Gen. DhCAEN, not only to fufpend and deprive Limos of his command, but to arreft him, and fend him home a prifoner with the firft firfe opportunity. An Ame rican (hip is faid to have been already hired to carry out there orders; and, as Coon as Limnos arrives in France, he is to be tried by a Naval Military Corn minion. Of his fate, little doubt remains, particu larly as the flop, which carried to France Dscastr's difpatches, brought one hundred thoufand dollars belonging to Limo's, which have been borrowed by the Imperial Treafury. Losois's own report is to ferve as evidence againft him, and is, therefore, not publifhed ; but it is faid to contain Imre complaints againft the Bativian Admiral HARTZINK, for not co-operating with him, and agaiuft the Dutch Go vernors of the Cape of Good Hope, and Batavia. Confiderable repairs have been made caring the fummer at Verlaine*, and the water machine at Marli has been re-ellabliflied. The Grand and Petit Tria non have been, with the Cattle of Verfailles, entirely new decanted and furnifhed. All the former ftatues in the park have been replaced, and new ones brought from Italy added. The former extenfive barracks have been new painted and repaired ; two new ones are building. From thefe circumftances it is Cup poled that Bn intends to fix his refidence, for a part of the year, in future, at this beautiful pa lace of the Bouesmos. The tape= paid for repairs there, in !even months, amounted to ten millions of livres, one hundred and twenty thoufand pounds, and they are far from being finifhed. The inhabitants of Verfailles, on account of their ingratitude towards the Bor./Inas, defervedly ruined by the Revolution, have prefented a petition to Madame BOMAPAILTE,iIII• ploring her influence with her hillband, to base the new Imperial Court fixed in their town, which is thought to have produced the defiled effeft. DUTCH PAPARS. HAGUE, OCTOIIII 3. —According to a letter from St. Peterthurgh, the Grand Duke Cousrawrs we left that capital on the gth ultimo, to infpea the Ruffian troops in that part of Poland, belonging to the Ruffian Empire. It reported at Paris that the Swath General Baron Armfeldt, late AmbalTador to the Court of Vienna, is to be app. inted Minifter of the Foreign Department of the King of Sweden. The French Papers ray, that the fortifications of Mentz are to he demolithed, and the town changed into a free commercial city. T'ne great ez pences required to augment its ttrength arc laid to be the caufe of this change. To fltengthen, however, the French line, Frankenthal is to be a fortrefs of the firft rank.—( Hague Comma.) FRAN It FORT, SEPT, 26.—Letters from Vienna fate, that their Imperial Majellies will return to the capi tal from the camp near Prague Comer than was ex peaed, and that this camp, on account of the great dearnefs and fcarcity in Bohemia, will break up im mediately. Nothing is fpoken of but the Emperor NAPOLRON'S nay in our vicinity, and the molt trifling . particulars concerning him do not elcape public notice ; among others, that, upon his arrival at Mentz, the only per- Cons in his carriage were his Golifilfir and General Duaoc. _ _ _ _ . We are allured that three of the five head clerks of the Foreign Department have accompanied Tar, to Mentz, and confequently great political tranfaflions are fuppofed to be going on. Among other changes raid to be determined upon. is, that the Eleflor of Heffe is to become the Sovereign, not only of this city, but of the country of Afchaffen burgh, for which he is to pay a certain great Power twelve milli.rns of florins. The Arch-Chancellor mad Eleaor is to be indemnified for Afchaffenburgh, with the city of, and country round Ratilbon, which will be ceded to him by the Eleaor of Bavaria, who re ceives in return, the city of Auglbtirgh, and the pro perty of the immediate Nobility of Franconia. For 6nrie territory which the King of Profile gives up to the Arch-Chancellor, he will receive, as an in demnity, the old Imperial city of Nuremberg. The whole iirifgau will be given to the Eleaor of Baden, an its prerent Sovereign. Arch Duke FIIDIWAND, will be indemnified fomewhere elk in the German Empire. It is raid that the Emperor and Emprefs will leave Mentz to-morrow, the 17th, and that between that town and Boulogne buries are already waiting to carry the Emperor to his army on the coall.—(flapse ourant.) CONSTANTINOPLE. Jots , 9.—Private Letters from Alexandria, dated June 19, (late, that on the 21 there was a very ferrous affair between the Mame lukes and the Albanians. The latter were d:ivcn lix leagues to the north of Cairn, with which they were two days without being able to have any com munication ; they loft in that affair more than 400 men. On the fide of the Marnehikes there fell only lc°, among whom was Aims' Bay, and Msazook, lons of IBRAHIM. The death of the latter is nut Cef- Lin.

ALLYPO, JULY 17.—Ibrahim, ancient Pacha of this town, had been fueceeded by his fon Actinic, a I your.g man more covetous and left prudent than his Lather. In the (bat (pact; of a month, he excited cuch Jifeniitent that the Sheriffs, the Jail: fraries, and the Chtittrans all tuddenli Hew to arms. The Pacha had only aOOO foldiers to oppole to them, who, AIM tour days refillaoce, were obliged to yield. They entered into treaty, end the Paella only obtained leave Ic qua tte: city co coucEtion of his brctli“ • Muftapha-Bey as an honer. He effeaually left Aleppo tea the night of the sth ofjuly. On the 17th, the principal persons of the city slued a proclama tion to the people, which quieted them. It is thought that a Capidgi Bachi lately arrived from Cunflanti nople, will fill the funaions of Muffelim, but the au thority will be really in the hands of a Sheriff, and of Yafim Aga. chief of the Janiffaries. The Wechabis are always matters of Mecca. — They have refuted admiffion to the Ofmanlis Turks, and have only accorded it to the Arabian Turks, from each of whom they have elated the pay ment of a fum of five talaris ; they have collated but two from the muleteers and camel conduaors. There feaaries attacked Buffora and the little town of hair, but without fuccefs. Seven thoufand of them teem to menace that of Iman.Aly. The Pacha of Bagdad is occupied in forming an army of +(Noon men, in order to march againft them in September. The Ruffians have added to the towns which they already poffefs in Armenia, thole of Nauhivan and toy; their plan teems to be to take poffellioa of the principal towns of this province, before carrying their arms into thole of Gillian. They are equipping fe vend (hips of war in the Cafpian Sea, in order to in vade the Mezanderan. Several Perfian Princes re paired in April to Tauris, where they formed a camp of tg.ooo men, who are to be incorporated with the grand army, detlined to as again II the Ruffians, under the command of Fel-Hazy CHAR. &tem, Sam ay.—To embroil the Continent, or to force it to snake common caufe with him againft England, has been the conftant endeavour of Boma , and his Diplomatic Emiffary, La Foust . , ever fence our Court acknowledged him a Revolu tionary Emperor, and Ras aliened tse rights of nations and of humanity, by refenting the invafion of Germany, and the murder of the - Dukt, of Ea- G um. The mon (educing offers have been made, both here and at Vienna, to forma defenfiye alliance with France, merely, as the Corlicaa Jail, to oblige RulLa not to difturb the peace of the Continent ; but neither the letters of Bo nor the entreaties, per fuafitine, nor intrigues of La Foals?, could change the determination of our King to form any connec tion which may make him a party in a war. As a Taft effort, Bo AAAAAA a fent here a ci thwarts Count d'Aa a to, his favourite and confidential intriguer, and an officer of his Staff, with a Carte Blanche. The guaranty of the Elatorate of Hanover to the King's brother, Prince HIINRY, lately betrothed to a Danith Princeft, is laid to be the kali that d'Aaaaan has offered.— The frequent conferences both between the French Agent here and our Minifter of State, and between the Marquis Lucc 'sum s and TALLIMILNO in France, could not efcape the fufpicion of the Engli(b and Ruffian Minifters, that fomething was negotiating contrary to the interelk of their Sovereigns ; and they had, therefore, firft a conference with Baron Hart- DENBIRO, and afterwards with the KIVO, in which they were informed, " that hitherto nothing had oc curred in Europe which could convince his Majefty either of the policy or neceffity to change the fyftem of neutrality to which his Raja) , had adhered from the beginning of his reign." This political difappoint ment, no doubt, hurt the pride of the Corilcan, who, with his and 1' 's ufual adrnitnefs, has, by his emiffaries, publithed in the Continental Papers, that it was Ruffia and England, and not France, that had endeavoured to (educe Priam from her neutra lity, but had been difappointed.

This morning arrived a Mail from New York and Halifax, brought to Falmouth by the PIINCISS AMELu• packet. It is by no means generally known, but the fad is, that hollilities were fro near taking place in July lA, between America and Spain, that Mr. Pi . , the American Mini(ler at Madrid, was laid to have made preparations to take leave of the :ipaniih Court, when the Palace of Pact prevailed on him to Ray and await an anfwer to a propolition to the American Government, which wa► then difpatched by a packet to Baltimore. The caufe of this menaced rupture, and which, in.leed, i► not yet done away, was the demand which America made of the Floridas, ne ther with fume millions of dollars, for American pro- perty taken by the French, and condernn:d in Spanifh ports, during ,he late war, as well as vac's taken and condemned on the malt of South America for trading the boundary I•rnit:d ity Sraka, GIBRALTAR, SEPT. 6.
