[From the iforssatilo insertion of March o.] The arrival of many white men at Au! Cayes and Jactuel, from France, to establish themselves at these places, is announced in letters from Aux Cayes. An insurrection against Petion has taken place in the har bour of Sale Trots ; and Colonel Lewis Mosambique has been shot by order of Petion, for his opposition to the establishment of French white men. His head was severed from his body, and exhibited on the wharf. , [From the Mireastilo ifivertion of sty March, from St. D. mingu, February es.] By Captain Floyd, from Port-au-Prince, we learn that a plot had been discovered to assassinate Petion, and that the chief of the conspirators had been shot on the very day Petion was to have been killed. The people under that tyrant are tired of his reign, and sooner or later will destroy him. [From the same Pa r er.] From Surinam we learn, by Captain Wylie from Surinam, that, a few days before he sailed, a Dutch squadron of two frigates and a brig of war, with 600 troops, had arrived there, for the purpose of taking possession of that colony ; and the present Governor was only waiting for orders from the Bra tish Commander in Chief on the West India station to snake a formal surrender. [From the New roil I°4w of the Bth of Much. An American gentleman has arrived at Charleston, with accounts from -Cartbagena having surrendered to the royalists. The governor of that place, (Don Juan Das Amadef) and suite, went on board a Car thagenian privateer, commanded by one Mitchell, whahad promised to conduct him in safety from the place. Atter getting out, he touched at a small island called St. Andrews, under pretence of water ing ; and after inveigling the governor and suite on shore, the treacherous villain find upon thorny and set sail, carrying off the governor's valuables; toge• ther with some pearls, &c. belonging to the &mein. dient ; the whole valued at about 180,000 dollars.

[Will their fate be auy better .a V- ' ,PARIS,..IPRI4. 11. • [PRIVATE LETTER.] The trial of Sir Robert Wilson and his companions, which was to have taken place yestarday the 10th, is, owing to Lavalette's, keeper requiring further time for his defence, deferred to the 22d. Yon will have seen that the Tribunal of First In stance at Rennes, have determined that there exists no ground for proseCution against the thirteen Coun sel who defended General Travot, and have accord inp,ly ordered them to be set at liberty. Upon the occasion of their being denounced, Id. Laine so far yielded to a sense of indignation, as to declare pub blicly, that, if he were not confined to Paris by the duties of his office, he would repair to Reams to assist in their defence. This opinion of the Ptesideut, of the House of Deputies, has given much umbrage to the High Court party. It tends to accoent for the gross and indecent treatment be mu with latelyi n the House of Deputies, as well as for the austere and ungracious tone of M. de Richelieu's letter, ad dressed to him by orders of the King, on the occasion of his declining the father Presidency of the House. The following anecdote is illustrative of the cha racter of General Travot t—During the late cam paign, a bigotted peasant of La Vendee, inflamed by the zealots of the Royal cause, resolved oa i cin attempt to assassinate him : but mistaking the Staff ' , of General Lamarque for that of Travot,. and being unacquainted with the person of his inteaded victim, he fired upon an Aide-de•camp of that General, and killed him. He was immediately seized, and brought before General Lamarque, to whom, upon enamisa tion, he confessed his design. Whereupon General Lamarque ordered him tole carried before Travot, that the latter might dispose of him as he :pleased. After inquiring what mot, vellcould prompt him touch an action, and discovering him to be a man misled by the fanatic suggestions of the priests, General Travot desired him to be liberated, send to return to , his plough, recommending him, at the same time, in case be should be led to another attempt of du; kind, not to make so fatal a Mistake. . , Madame Trent has n6t evinced t tl i L l r et l i spa fortitude than the General himself, this arduous struggle with persecution. At the waft of the trial, this Lady beasts intiffillM with C l Caned, in which, after haying eadeavotnialf in vain to move him by cassiderposas of honour andbneeep, pity, she addressed haulm gg t — I have Ant dna i if throogh you, they are bsreft of a • my sous, daily mindful of their less, and • heed se she use ti sinus will s no coati% 4 Il* ' Of manhood, avenge, their parent by shed • ding the blood of his mini:in. When en attempt. was made to put the General in him: he resisted the indignity with energy, and so awed the jailor by his commanding tone and coun tenance, that the latter durst not perform his duty. On the General's informing his Lady of this circum- Lstance, 44 I am sorry (said she) th:it you resisted, for this last trait of your enemies VMS wanting to com plete their infamy.! It was with infinite difficulty that this Lady could obtain admission into her hus band's dungeon : it was never without meeting some insult, and undergoing an examination, which was rendered offensive to the delicacy of her sex. She had 'come up to Paris to solicit in her husband's behalf. All letters addressed to her from Rennes were carefully intercepted, and she only learned the fatal sentence by the medium of the public papers. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1816.

Bauca and HUTCHINSON, is at length axed ter the 22d instant, and is expected to occupy three days. In other respects the papers are very barren of intelligence, being Passion Week, during which time the Chambers do not sit. The following are extracts : COURIER EXTRAORDINARY 01 SATURDAY MORNING. The health of his Majesty will, we believe, permit him to attend Mass to-morrow, being Easter Sunday, in the Chapel Royal. Two soldiers, J. M. Quiquam and P. F. Vermets, convicted of having, with 15 or 20 others, on the 12th of July last, presented themselves at one of the gates of Dijon with seditious cries, forced the Na tional Guards) and fired on them several times, were condemned to death. His Majesty has pardoned them, and they are to be imprisoned a year. All the public works in Paris are ordered to be re sumed. SUNDAY MORNING. The Elysee Bourbon Palace is undergoing repairs previous to being occupied by the Duke and Duchess of Berri. Tbd Second Session of the Court of Assizes of Paris will commence on Thursday, and finish on Sa turday. The pleadings in the affair of Sir Robert Wilson, and Messrs. 3ruce and Hutchinson, will commence on the 221 The other persons accused are--the, Gaoler Kergolay de Roquette, Eberle, Benoit de Bonneville, and Joseph Guerin, commonly called Alareeago all the above are accused of having procured or facilitated the escape of Laralette. The pleadings arc expected to last three days. PARIS, APRIL Is. Messrs. Auger and Laplace have been elected to the two vacant situations in the French Academy. We hear that the remainder of the British troops Bow in the Netherlands have been ordered home. Cambiceres is yet at Brussels. Madptloiselle Dachesnois is about to retire from the stage for a short time. It appears by the Frankfort papers, that Marshal Souk has not been at Hamburgh, and consequently could not have figured in that disagreeable scene, of which the London papers gave account. The bust of his Majeuy has been solemnly inau gurated at Calais by the National Guard. Yesterday was the anniversary of the entry of Monsieur into Parisi the National Guards alone were on service at the Tuißerks. Monsieur gave an au dience to the Officers in the Hall of Diana. The Prince de Cond‘ and the Duke de Bourbon leave Paris this day far Chantilly. It is said thp British Government have plaCed £5,000 at the disposal of the Marquis d'lschia (Ca nova) for the purpose of opening a school for painting at Rome. The young English artists sequire it. The bridge of Lastly, near Paris, which was de stroyed by Bonaparte to impede the march of the Allies, is to be reconstructed after its former model; the expense to be defrayed by his Majesty. General Drouot left Paris yesterday for Nanci, where he will remain tot a considerable time. By the exertions of Monsieur, all the prisoners de tained at Bourdeaux for debt have been set at liberty. A report exists that the Empress of Austria. died lately at Verona ; it is possible her illness may have given rise to this rumour. We read in the Journal General of yesterday that there were two Doctors named Sue in Paris, one of whom died a few days ago. The exiting professor announces in the above paper, that it is not. hiruelf who ts dead—but the ether man The Ex-Minister Fouche lives yet at Dresden in great retirement. PARIS, APRIL 14. When the Duke of Wellington returns to Paris, he will occupy the Hotel Reviler, in the Champs Times. The Royal Guards still do duty at the Elyse. Bourbon. The Xing of Wane:niters bus summoned the petty Counts and Princes placed under his dominions, by the Congress of Vienna, to speak their minds, whether they will be under his ,dominiost or not, *Os eight days! tismeasoceasral Count de *Moro %linguor of 0.

The latest intelligence from Frankfort states, t h at the day of the opening of the Diet of the Confed ete , tion is not yet fixed : although the negociatien t , as to the territorial arrangements between Austria and Bavaria are terminated, the negociations of thosep ro Powers with the Courts of Wurtemberg and a l d er ,, for territorial exchanges, now present some di 1. ties. The King of Wurtemberg wishes to keep strictly to the execution of the treaties of Vienna and het Brussels Papers to the 15th reached u s t hi s mom . tng. The following are the chief articles of geuce they contain : AUGSBURt, APRIL t M. Koch, who had been sent express to Wan, is returned to Munich. Prom the answer which the Emperor made to the counter project which was re. sewed to him, there is no doubt but the Convention will be signed before the 20th of this month. foe bad wha FRANKFORT, APRIL a. The Gazette of Prague formally contradicts the statement first inserted in the Gazette of Bartok that M. Fouche was at Prague, and that he b a d offered 80,000 florins for an estate. The determination of the new frontiers between France and Germany along the Lauter could not be settled hitherto, because there remain some obstacles to be removed. These have been lately sent to the respective reports respecting the course of the rivet near Lauterburg : till the decision shall come all will remain in its present state. There has just appeared in the country between the Lauter and the Queich an Ordonnance ta Austrian Government, relative to duty on liquors, which replaces in some measure the ancient Droits Reunis, but the regulations are much less vexatious, the duty is not so high. VIENNA, APRIL 3. Yesterday, at four in the afternoon, public prayers were begun in the cathedral of St. Stephen's, and is the parish church of the Court, on account of the ill. ness of her Majesty the Empress. These will cos. tinue for several days, from nine in the morning till six in the evening : on these days the two Court Theatres will be shut. BRUSSF.I.S, APRIL IS. His Majesty the King arrived at the Hague on the 9th. Conformable to the Conventions concluded between the Allied Powers, the French included in the Ordi nance of the 24th July, who are in the Kingdom d the Netherlands, must quit it to go to Russia, Pnis. sia, or Austria, unless they procure permission from the King to prolong their gay. Thos;French•who are indicated in the 7th Artick of the Amnesty Law, must withdraw from the pm vinces bordering upon France, and from the cities of Brussels, Ghent, and Liege. M. Arnault, compre hended in the alative mentioned Ordinances of the King of France, bad taken refuge at Brussels, where he lived some time. He was there when his name was erased Irons the list of the Members of the Institute, to which he was admitted in 1799. M. Arnault is now at Maestricht : from th;: last place he has just written to M. de Vaubianc, intor ming him, that he refuses the right given him by the Royal Ordinance, of the 21st March, this year, to re tain the whole of the salary. " Stripped of every thing, (says he) except my honour, I shall know how to preserve it entire, and withdraw it froth the enjoy ing of your benefits." coal vas 4c ale Fel inl gi The Treasury Commissioners pursue their labours with an assiduity which proves the determination of Ministers to effect retrenchment' wherever it can be done without real prejudice to the public service. They have had the Members of the Medical Board before them, and is very probable that in this de partment a considerable saving may be accomplished. The New Board of Works, it is also probable, will soon be subjected to a survey and estimate. The late Mr. WYATT, as Surveyor-General, had a salary of £5OO a-year. We have now a Surveyor-General at £l5OO a-year, a Deputy-Surveyor at £looo—of what use, then, is the Surveyor-General ? We have also three Architects at £5OO each—of what use, then, is the Deputy-Surveyor ? We have also Clerks of the Works and Under-Clerks to the amount alto- gether of several thOusands a-year. Can all of these be now wanted, when many works, necessary per haps in a time of war, most have been laid aside, U l another part of the present system-of szonomy • The Assessed Taxes for the ensuing year are likely to fall very short of the sums which they have hitherto produced. The notices given to the' assessors in the great parishes of Mary-la-bonne, and St. George's, Hanover-square, announcing the discontinuance of horses and carriages, exceed all former r eductions: one sobleman has dropped four carriages and , twelve servants, and many others are making similar re- F d'Escadron,4 Mier Bourdet 4 Ca mbassador fret, tovia lavre to embark saile ed to the Cest i bCtyc nt. • edict of th e h t five years to 84 t he . ey had acquired
