The contents, which are given in the preceding cO lumm, are not of any political importance. Lail night we received Paris Journals to the sad inflant inclufive. The Moamar again copies from the Addis de Pant a long article on the opinions which have been exprelted in England, on the delays in the negotiation, and charging the Eng. liOs Papers with encouraging a renewal of the war!

No mention is made in what manner this intelligence from St. Domingo has been received. If any official advices of this nature had reached Park, the Moniteur would, no doubt, have publifhed them. A report prevailed yefierday afternoon that the Definitive Treaty was figned, and might be ex pected momentanly.—Some laid it was arrived.— Thoughl it was a holiday at the Stock Exchange, Come bargains were done in confequence as high as #551 for Aptg account— th e price in the morning had been 14 No one Rated how the news was raid to have arrived, but the circumftance is mentioned in let- tas which have reached us thiimorning from Do ver, and we doubt not was forwarded from thence bY etprefs, on, a convitlion; perhaps, of its truth. --Our letters hate, that " private information . reached Dover yefterday morning from France, arusonneing that the Treaty was ligned; and the Difpatcbes, notifying this important event , 'acre expeded every tamsriss."

He was is vited to accept a ewsierr* power ! and titerefore; perhaps, he expelled no Objeftions on the part of Great Britain.—lt is equal;true, however, that Deputies from the Malcefe bid Colieited this coun try to take Malta under its proteaion ; and rode- pendently of the policy of keeping Mainsi.-a policy which was eery obvious even at the litite of the Preliminaries, when it was thought the .indepen dente of Italy was to be !served—confiderations of honour and humanity called for the meafore. , During the two laR years the Maltefe proved their attachment to our mute by a fpirit, a bra very, and a fidelity, of which hiltor,Rircrs few inftances. They previoully hid creation,' contri buted to our fuecefs in expelling the French froM the ifiand. They fought in our armies in Egypt and In Elba; thei manned our Sips, as tar as their numbers permitted, in the Mediterranean; and the annals of the Barbary States will evince the (kill and valour of the fauna; of Malta. They have !hewn the mon unequivocal determination to (hare out fate in every event. They fent a depu tation, cOmpofed of the twit refpettable inhabi tants, entreating our parental Proteaion; and placing their lives and fortunes at our difpofal. Having fo many calls upon our generofity, was it to be expelled that we fhould continue to refill a folicitation which the French, in the example of Italy, had !hewn us We ought to comply with?--.

REPEAL OP THE INCOME . lAx.—A meeting of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Freemen, of Warwick, was held on the 23d intl. when they came to feveral thong Refolutiobs on the Income Tar, end I ably. ed to Petition Parliament for its Repeal. Yegerday there was a vcry refpcdable meeting of the inhabitants of the Borough, in the Town. Hall. Mre TO W 111 IMO read a letter from Sir WAT K I N Lima% tilting Ws regret that bolinefb in Wales prevented him from attending. Mr. Pt si HO It N then moved that Mr.TowNsHENn be called to the Chair. - .. Mr. PIN HORN R obferved, that it was allotted to him to bring forward the bonnets of the day, i n confequence - of the abfence of a Gentleman who originally had undertaken it, and who, from hav ing affifted in framing the Refolutions intended to be fulithitted, wouldiave been much more com petent than himfelf to hoe introduced them. The Refolutions he held in his hand, but he felt :gloat ed by a lierfuafion that there could be no occafion to comment upon,them, as every man who heard him molt be convinced of the oppreffive operation oldie Income Tax, and the neceffity of petitioning Parliament for its repeal: He then Rated the ge neral tenor of the Refolutions, which were after wards put feparately by the Chairman, and ap proved of without a diffenting voice. —[The Refs hWess will le farad in at front of our Paper.] The fame Gentleman read the Petition to be pre rented to the Houfe of Commons ; the terms of *hid were approved of; and it was ordered to be trinfcribed; and Copies left at the Veftry-Rooms bf the different Pirifties for the Signatures of the Inhabitants till Thurfday next, He obferved, that as it was a uniform queftion ofhtinitters what num ber of Hanle: were affixed to Petitions, it would be defirable a number not lets that 500 flicnild, in the prefent iiiftance, be procured. He obferved, that It Wai neeeffary tome Gentleman fiould prefent the Petition to the Houfe of Commons. There kosdd be no Perfon fo proper as one of the Repre fentatives of the tomugh. Had Mr. THORNTON been prefent he Would have thought it his duty to have nominated him, as the Senior Member ; but as he had not thought proper to attend, he &old move that the Petition be prefented by Gloaos I ntoner * Efq. and that he, as well as Mr. THORN. row, Would be indrulted to fupport the fame in Parliament. Mr. Tirana,. Laid, it was hardly neceffary for him, after the experience his Contlituents had had of his conduet, to afibre them of his readinefs, on all occations, to follow their inftruCtions. On the prefent occafion, it was am lets neceffary to ex• prefs his acquiefeence in the terms of the Refolu tions and Petition, because the Income Tax was one to which, from : the beginning, he had been decidedly hoftile: It was jolt three years ago fince he had had the honour, in the Houfe of Coin. mons, of moving the repeal of that Tax. He bad been the firft to Rate, in the Houfe of Commons, that the Tax was one which the experience of a very short period would Phew the neceffity of re pealing. He could not, therefore, help rejoicing when he perceived that the whole country weregra. dually coming over to that opinion, for expreffing •which he had, at the time, been fubjeCted to a confiderable (hare of animadrerlion and cenfure. He deferred his Con ftituents to reft affured that they might depend upon his exertions to fupport this, or any other Petition they might think proper to inftrue him to prefenz. The thanks of the Meeting were then voted to the Chairman, and Mr. PimHok*r, and the burl. nefs of the day terminated by a Refolution that the proceedings Would b: inferted in all the Public pers. THEATRES. DRIIRY-LANE..--"Lail night SHAKESPEAR'S plad of ne Winter': Tale was revived, in its original form, at this Theatre ; the decorations of .which were extremely fplendid, and the performances, with a few exceptions, very animated. K£ MALE. in Leoasrs, though lahotu ing under a cold, gave great effect to the prineiparfeene , in the three aril ads; and Mrs. Simms s' s Hermione was throughout very dignified and impreflive : as A flatue, at the conclufion of the play, the' was a perfed model of Grecian fculpture.

She is, however, very beautiful; is of the 6rfl order of fine forms, and very young. The comic characters, ofistolieus, ,h Old Man, and Ins Son, were well cur tained by BANNISTER, WALDRON, and SUSTT.•••••• A very .pretty dance was introduced by Mill Me rtens, ,and the fcenery of the play is throughout excellent, but the performance is an hour too long; great applaufe, however, attended its being given outfor neat week.—The houfe was filled to - overflowing- . Coves r-Gatiota..—An overflowing houfe was, as ufual, the refult of the Royal prefence here lafk night. The entertainment,honoured with the Royal command, confifted of the comedy of The Birth- Day, and the Pantomime Drama of Pereafi, both of which went off with great eclat. A warm and am mated expreffion of loyalty and affection is a tribute • Co uniformly paid upon there occafions, that it is Cu perßuous to mention the grateful manner in which their Mar Isla ss, and four of the PRINCESSES, were received upon their entrance. His Majtsve was drelfed in regimentals; the Q . 12 ESN ) and the PRINCESSES, were drelfed in white and Calver, with full Reeves. Her MAJESTY wore a dote b ea d drers, with a white rofe in front, and a diamond rote on the left fide. The head dreffes of the PRINCESSES were all uniform in the dart, .bot different in the embankments. The foundations of them were black velvet bandeaus, richly adorn ed with diamonds. The Princefs Et z atolls bad a flivet taffd at the left fide, and was further or• namented with a bunch of black feathers, and a bird of Paradife feathers (landing in front of them. The Princefs AUGUSTA had a plume of purple feathers, with a bunch of fultans riling from a crefcent; the Princefs MARY wore a plume of white oftriches ; and So r la, a plume of black and pink feathers mixed. The Royal groupe looked ex tremely well, and feemed much pleated with the entertainment of the night. The Duke of Keen fat in the box nearly oppofite to that occupied by the Roy AI. Pe m tor, and among the company were Tome of the moll diftinguiffied charaaers for rank and fahion in the country. MADAM II BANTI'S Bee MT.—Never /A'e believe was the curiofity of the falhionable world fo ftrong- IT excited, as it was by the appearance of Mrs. BILLINOTON at the King's Theatre lah night. The union of filch extraordinary powers as BANTI and Btu-two-vox are allowed to poffefs, attrafted fuch an audience, as we believe was unexampled at the Opera-houfe. The doors leading to the gallery and pit were befet by crowds of perfons, dreffed in the height of the fallion,for a confiderable time be fore they were opened, and the preffure to gain ad mittance was fcarcely to be exceeded among the bone ft folks who flock to the galleries ofthe Theatres on the nights that their Map am Es vifit them ; con fiderable delay and confulion enfued from a very neceffisry but unufual regulation which was aa blifhed on this evening—that of requiring the Hol den of Silver and other Property Tickets to pro duce the Deeds belonging to them. At length the company broke into the Pit with fuch impetuofity, as to make all other check as to money or tickets, except the honour of the parties themfelves, Ira poffible. A contiderable part of the Pit was ap propriated for the accommodation of thofe Subfcri hers who gave up their Boxes, the remaining (pace could by no means contain even one-fourth of the perfons who endeavoured to obtain admiffian. All the avenues were filled, and rows of benches were placed on the Rage. There was no poffibility of a change of decoration ; nor was there any at tempt made to vary the fcenes. Every ear was fixed on the BART' and the Bit LANGTON, and cer tainly never was expeaation fo completely grati fied. Many Ladies and Gentlemen, after having (with a patience deferring better fuccefs) endured the inconveniences refulting from a great crowd and extreme heat, were difappointed of places.— The carriages of the People of Fathion completely occupied the Hay-market and molt of the firms leading to the Weft end of the town; and although an additional door, that leading to the King's Concert-room, was thrown open, yet it was not fufficient to fatisfy the eagernefs of curiofity.
