We entertain very great doubts of this Rory. Indeed by the Ameri can papers to the aoth ult. received yellerday, we End it proved, beyond a doubt, that the Black Chiefs of St. Domingo fubmittcd to the French power only in confequence of a negotiation on equal terms, flowed, no doubt, by a regular Convention.

The advices from Jamaica by the mail arivedr yellerday, brought accounts of a curious incident. The French, it Teems, fill - peeled that an illicit traffic in warlike itores might be carried on be tween Jamaica (individuals, no doubt) and St. Domingo. A veirel was found on the South part of the Bland of St. Domingo, Itippofed to have landed a cargo of flora for the tile of Toussaimr. She was brought down to Jamaica by a French frigate, and a Itrong remonitrance againit loch proceeding. if die fait be fo, the French need not be furprifcd. It is pretty ltrongly fulpeted that whillt our troops were contending with Tous :,All4T, the latter was fupplied with Itores by an illicit trade from Jamaica.

The brig Hope arrived at this port felt evening, in i 3 days from Cape Francois, after being de uilied there by the Government, upwards of three months, having experienced every fpecies of in junice and ill treatment that French ingenuit) could deyife. From a Gentleman palfenger in the Hope, we received the following intelligence : " Two days before he left the Cape, an inter view had taken place at HAW du Cap (a village about 'twee miles froth the Cape), between the Commander in Chief LECLERC, and General Cl 4 Rlrrorm a ; but the refult had not officially been made known; however, the mon pleating conch' lions had been made on the • fubjeft ; and there fcarce remained a doubt hut that CH It I STOF H E had negotiated terms for himftlf and his army, as he was to be at the Cape on the day the Hope failed. Preparations were making to receive him by Gen. HARDY (General of divifion of the North) with wh m CH RISTOVN I was that day to dine. Various Ipeculations were abroad, whether Toussatay was not a party in CH It Is roP H F'S arrangements— the bell informed, and thofe mon acquainted with Cmitterripites chat-after, were of opinion, that he woul,l not conclude any agreement in which his old chief was not a party, and interefled in.— From the' publicity and form of the audience at Haut du Cap, little doubt can be entertained on this fuhjed. Gen. CHRISTorKs would not come within the French lines until an officer of equal rank was fent over as an hollage, and then be en tered with every military pomp and parade; the meeting did not appear like that of a traitor flealing an opportunity to betray his true. Thefe circum fiances diffufed a general joy throughout the Cape Town; the unfortunate inhabitants of that ill fated city looked up to them as the harbingers of peace, and at length began to indulge the hope that the period of their perfecutions and troubles wasdraw ing to a clofe. No matetial progrefs had been made in rebuilding the town as yet, nor bad any change for the better taken pace in the treatment the Americans receive from the various departments of the Government through which they were ne ceffitated to do their bulinefs; every delay and procraffination 1. as pradtiled, nor was k poffible to eff.:Et the lean difpatch but by means of a bribe; not a bill had kilted for the provifions, &c. that Government had taken from our cargoes, but what was fi a paid for in a proportionate ratio to the fubaltern clerks and officers. Government had difcontinued to put in requifition every article of provifion that hail lately arrived, as hut fey/ were wanted at that moment, though fubjeft to their own prices and conditions. " An additional duty often per cent. had been put on all defcriptions of dry goods,making in the whole twenty per cent. not the manufatturc cf France, or not imported in French bottoms. Cap tains Roo ERS and DAVIDSON am remained in clofe confinement in a dark dungeon, on the common gaol allowance. The fhip Ann, of New York, was publicly condemned, by beat of drum, on the 7th April,on the moil g roundlefs and &ire accufai Lim" By Letters from New York, dated the inth ult. we are informed that the Batavian fleet, confining of three (hips of the line and a brig, viz. the Brutus, Neptune, and Jean de Witt, and brig Ajax, tinder command of Admiral HARTSINCK, arrived in Hampton road the loth, from Cape Francois. It is fitid part of the fquadron will go to Baltimore to refit. The eleventh reprefentation of the charming fpeetacle of William Tell, the Hero of Switzerland, was loft night honoured with the pretence of a numerous and diainguilbed audience ; and while the Royal Amphitheatre continues to reprefent with this admirable produEtion,fuch a Pantomime as the Seven Charairioru, or Harltgain Si. George, and other amufementa, fo long will the tide of public efli mation and applaufe, flow into the Theatre in• quetilon. Mr. HUGHES, the afting Proprietor of Sadler's- Wclls, is determined to fupport the credit of his new Theatre by all that Novelty or Variety can do. Agreeable to this determination, the Italians, though Inch favourites with the Public, are, after this evening, to be withdrawn, for tome other Novelty on Monday : the R;021 Tar: alfo are to fhare the farm fate, and to he fucceeded by another new Piece from the pen of Mr. C.

That on the t 3th of May Taft, fie, the Fxhibitant, together with the laid William Bird, let off from Shields for London, and arrived at the White Hare Inn, Fetter-lane, London. on the itth of May. That the condudt and behaviour of the laid William Bird towards his wile duriug their journey to I.ondon, was inattentive and unaffedlionate, and very 411f:rent from what it had been previoufly to their departure from Shields, and that on the t 6th of !Slay, being the day after tit. it arrival Gr London, upon the Exhibitant expreffing her furprife to the fah 1 William Bird, that none of his relaiion, or friends hadbeen to vifit them at the lnb where they then remained, the laid William Bird feized her by the hair of her head, pulled it with great violence, and laid, that the was a little devil—that he wi $ tired of her, and would loon be the end of her."

Mr. Gamma , moved for a rule to (hew can% • why a criminal information fhould not be granted againft Peter Thorne, Thomas Kentith, and Ri chard Waters, overfeers of the poor of the parith of Ealing, in Middlefea, for inhumanly remov ing from their pari(h a pauper, who is at times a lunatic, but was then in fuch a Rate of difeafe, that it mull have been ezpeited that his removal would occafion his death: the pauper's fettle ment was at Dunmow, in Urea; and although his brother earnellly intreated all thole who ap peared to have the management of the parilh con cerns of Ealing, not to move him till his health was fo recovered, that the removal Ihould not en danger his life, or if they were determined to move him, to indulge him with a cart which was at their command, hung upon fprings, and confequently caller vehicle than a common cart; Rill they unfeel ingly anfwered, that the Dodlor raid he might be moved, and move he fhould. When he was arrived at the parilh of Weflham, in Elk:, he was unable to hand, but the Parah.officers humanely pro vided every necellary medical, and other affißance;. till he was fo well recovered as to bear removing. Another circumllance fomewhat extraordinary in this removal occurred. When the pauper was lek 1 at Weltham, the driver of the cart laid he mull go into Dunnvow. He was anted why fo ? He re plied, to get 191. Bs. for expences. When it was obferved, that this was a very high charge, he anfwered, we could have eafily made it more if we chofe, but it Was neceffary to keep it down under act. or otherwife an appeal would lie to the fefflons. The fubßance of the affidavit being Rated, and its being obferved that this was an uncommon cafe, timilar to that which took place at Greenwich lane years ago, in which the Court fined the pa rillies about Tool.

A Rule to Ihew came granted.
