All the efforts of Bonaparte had failed in an enter prise, the advantages of which, even after having suc ceeded, could not be equivalent to what some words O the King have produced. It is with respect and gra titude that the inhabitants of the French . part.of St.i Domingo have received the orders of their King, and it is not-till after this act of submission, this recognition of the Sovereignty of France, that the King has con ceded to St. Domingo the independence of its Govern nent. - Who, then, would not have faith in the fortune of France cor.fidecl to the descendants of Henry IV.?

The substance of this Treaty consists simply of two points, the first of which stipulates an indemnitt of six millions sterling for the old colonial proptietots, to be paid by equal in stalments in five yea's. The second provides that the commerce of all nations trading with St. Domingo, shall be subject to one and the same scale of imposts, except that of France, which is to be favoured by a re flection of one half the ordinary duties. Until we shall have received the necessary explana tions-of those conce sions in the official correspondence from the other side the Atlantic, we can scarcely hazard an opinion as to the probab'e effect of this curious coin pict--curiouf, indeed, no for the matter than the planner. In regard to the first point, if all were slmply as it meets the eye, nothing can be moie just and reasonable. The most sanguine advocate for negro•erancipation will hardly contend, tha: in addition to personal liberty, the slave has a right to seat himself in his master's ;arid and possessions, as he has done in St. Domingo. Compensation is therefore justly due to the families of the ancient Colonists. But where are o.ey ?—: No-Commissioners are appointed on either side to see the - money appropriated to the professed object. But the King oC FRANCe is to be trustee for them, and, no doubt, ref:Unary hiatee. hie is -in the meantime to re ceive the money, and the Colonists will be reckoned with at leisure, and- probably paid eventually, if paid at all, in French S:ock, like the other emigrants, in aid of Vhose loan tliissis a most seasonable supply. In plain berms, we consider ibis subsidy neither more nor less thin a douceursto his Most Christian MAJESTY, to in duce him to giant the sable Republicans a good and they being in possession of the estate on a . . doubtful conveyance.. . • • As to the second point, of half duties, we may rest fissured that it will be observed no longer thin it suits 14CColouists—thatis, until -they are recognised by the Teg Of the world, and until their political General shall Diplomatic Staff-, -talents filled up by Poasaiii„ E- foreign residents. ivance of the merchandiae to French flag, - 4- a ' that they may be the universal carriers. But this wily open so fruitful a source of discord, that unless the privi lege be for a limited term, the Republic will be obliged openly to throw off this fragment of tilt ancient ycke, or buy tip the right*Bfa further doiteetir, The manner in which this strange ~..document is framed is trot a little amusing. It acknowledges, or rather grants independence to a people who have been independent for thirty years, and this in the shape of an Ordonpance, which implies subjection on the part of those who obey it. It graciously considers the precarious situation of the people of St. Domingo (which situation is not precarious at all, and has not been so any time these twenty years), and generously opens the ports of that country to all nations, which were in fact open already to every na!ion but France itself. And lastly. his MAJESTY exercises an act of sovereignty in regu lating the commerce of a country in which he possesses net a foot of land, has not one officer,civil or military, nor a single soldier, nor a solitary gun or pistel,nor an ounce of am. munition. This is passing strange, and unless the Black Cabinet look to it, there may be such rtacit reiervatinn in all these matters, as may one day or other trouble their repose if they should be caught slumbering. Jamaica papers to the 22J clone have been re ceived at the Jamaica Coffee House, but they contain no news. Quebec papers to the 15th of July, and Montreal papers two days later, reached us this forenoon. Two vessels, the Norfolk and the Juliana, bad arrived from China; they are the first ships that ever entered the St. Lawrence from Asia, and the circumstance forms a new epoch in tile history of the colony. They sailed from Ports tettth on the 24th of August last, arrived at Canton on the 24th of January ; they separated on their return after leaving St. Helena, and did not see each other until they reached Qutbec, on the same day. His Majesty's ship Osumi, bad arrived at Quebec, with 30,6001. in English coin, for the Com missariat Department. Letters from Corfu of the 13th of July, and from Zante of the 7th, have been received in the City, which corroborate the previous accounts of the defeat of Incsistsi PAcHA in the Morea, and state that he has been wounded, but not taken prisoner. This forenoon is e received Augsburgh and Frank fort Papers to the 9th instant. They contain the ac counts of the ileieat and capture of IBRAHIM PACHA, on the authority of two Austrian Captains, which we inserted in the STAR of Fi Way : and add that another ship h brought the same news. An article from' . Vienna doubts the intelligence, because accounts from Constantinople are silent on the subject. But this is no proof that it is not true. The same article acknow leiges that IBRAHIM PACHA, after his failure in the attack on the Mills, near Napoli, had retreated to Tripolizza. The following are extracts: tare his Diplomatic Staff-appointments 1 1 Polssii, En 1974, and the usual train of forei IA th4t . tneOtintf, it is Si dr4trous contrit i pa . binet of the Turneries, to get an the me and from St. Domingo ; to ?ass under . the i CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 11. On the 6th, the Greeks had received news, which was in fact con 3 firmed by consular reports from Syra, of 25(1 and 25th June. Ac-, cording to these, Colocotroni had laid was!, his own possessioni on his retreat, and retired towards Calavrita, The:* he attacked then Hoptians, who sustained considerable loss. Greek accounts add, that since that action, Colocotroni's corps received reinforcements from all quarters, and even cherish a hope that this bold enterprise of Ibrabi.n's will end in his total destruction. Odysseus is said to be dead, and the celebrated liohelna, according to a general report, to have been cut to pieces by the Spezziots. VIENNA, AUGUST 3. Three days ago, in consequence of the depositions of the Captain of a ship at Trieste, a report was generally spread of the as serted capture of Ibrahim Pacha, in the Morea. But ac counts front Constantinople, up to the 21st of July, have been received here by express, which do not say a word of this event. Ibrahim Pacha, according to these accounts, bad made an attempt on the Mills, near Napoli di Romania, which seems to have failed, in which he retreated to Tripolizza, the. centre of his operations. The Greeks will probably endeavour to represent this as a flight, By the same opportunity we received the news that Odysseus is dead. lie is stated to have fallen from a tower (perhaps be was thrown from it by order of Goura), and his brother-in-law, Tre lawney, the Irishman, is said to have been found shot at the same time. All the accounts from Spain in the Trench Papers, describe that unfortunate country as becoming every day more pitiable. being harassed by civil dissensions, and all the complicated evils of misgovernment. An article from Madrid, in the Journal des Debais, dated the lit instant, states that, in cons-quence of the dis turbances in the Provinces, the ..appointment of a Junta of Public Safety had been agreed to, and the re establishment of the Inquisition Was under discus sion. Indeed; that detestable tribunal had b!en par tially renewed, the Bishops of TA RRARONA and Oat- HUELA having, of their own accord, se the example, and re established it in their dioceses. T sere have been civil conflicts at Malaga, when the M li - ia and Royalist Volunteers took opposite sides, and many were killed and wounded. A mnst iniquitous report was circulated in the City this morning, that the Thames Tunnel had fallen in, and that 70 persons were killed. We are happy to state, that there is no truth whatever in the report • indeed , it was extremely improbable, for the shaft was not fini s hed until last week, and the cutting the Tun nel could but barely have been commenced. Another version of the report was, that the steam-engine had burst. The fact is, that owing to some defect in the machinery, it was deemed necessary to let off the steam this morning, at two o'clock, when the evaporation of which was so rapid, that it caused a report like that of the dis. charge of artillery. It was so loud, that the whole neighbourhood was thrown into the greatest consternation, until the cause was ascertained. No person, however, received the slightest injury. TILE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS.—The Marquis of HASTINGS, with the Marchioness, Earl Or RAWDFN, and the Ladies ILismos, arrived at Loudon Castle on the 6th inst. At Old Cumnock, near which stands an ancient Castle, called Terenzean, which gives the title of Baron to the Lords of Lannon, the Noble party were met by a band of music, and the whole of the in. habitants of the town and neighbouring county. Here the Ayrshire Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Colonel FtllklElt, joined, and escorted the Noble Marquis. Six miles farther on, at Mauchline, which gives the title of Viscount to the Earls of Lotworr, there were barriers and a triumphal arch erected, and here the Noble Marquis was requested by the Mauchline Lodge to become a Member, with Which he graciously complied, accepting an hono rary diploma. Nine miles farther on, at Loudon Castle, the Noble party were agreeablyiurprised by the appearance of the Kilmarnock Volunteers, commanded by Major PANTITIR, drawn up hi the park before the Castle, to receive them with afeu-de joie. It is unnecessary to add, that the whole country.was delighted with the return of this popular Nobleman to the lands of his children's ancestors, where they have . been Chieftains since the expulsion of the Romans. The Lord Lieutenant and Convenor of Ayrshire have called a Meeting of the Nobility and Gentry, to suggest the best mode of chewing this Nobleman respect, by giving a Public Dinner, on i bis return to the country. TIM Anil: A Detaohment belonging to the 77th,1 pt Infantry ens barked, of the 11 th inst. on board a vessel is the iver, for Glasgow.'

MARRIAGE IN HIOU Live.—Saturday evening was married, by special license, by the Rev. Y. DODD, at the house of the Duke of Cumin:cm, in Charles-street, Berkeley-square, Mr. Pante SWIM, of the First Life Guards, son of Sir Jones SZEINgT, of Pensburst, to Miss FITZCIARINCE.

Colonel and Lady AUGUiTit FtrzcLaaasca, Mr. and the Honourable Mrs. Hors, Captain Fitictristascs, Miss D'Esrs, Miss Buaaows, and Mr. A. Frtscirassca. The Duke of Yost gave away the bride. The marriage took place about seven o'clock, soon after which the happy pair left town in a car. riage and four, for the seat of. the Dowager Countess of Ovum roan, at Putney, to spend the hooey-moon. The Royal and dis tinguished party separated shortly afterwards. Mr. graham attempted an ascent at Chelmsford on Thursday, but failed for want ot- gas. On the fol. lowing evening his preparations had a better result; still, however, there was a deficiency of gas. When Mr. ' Graham got into the car, it refused to rise. The crowd then called out for Captain Gape, who had previously arranged to ascend, and he leaped into the car, which rose sideways, brushing the trees in its progress, and he could with difficulty keep his seat ; proceeding over the House of Correction, the car caught one of the chimnies, stispending Captain Gape over a chevaux•cle frise, upon which- he was momentarily in danger of being pricipiiated, but providentially he extricated himself, and remained at the tap of the building. As won as the car.was so lightened, tbe balloon rose to . a considerable height, and remained for about an hour, when it suddenly fell a short distance from Rodney, at Little Baddow, and has been restored to Mr. Grahanb WINDSOR.

BOULOGNE-SUR-MEI?, AUGUST 13. •••7• 1 1 , "r- Boulogne daily reoeives an addition to the already considerable number of fashionable and highly reputable visitors from the oppo. site shore.—The expected sojourn of the Duchess. de Base amongst us (who will arrive on the 24th) occasions extensive pre. parations for her reception. A; splendid hall, given by her Royal Highness on the evening after her arrival, will unite the whole of the French and English lobabitants of respectability. Lord Bishop Luscoatse ss ill hold a Confirmation on the 10th of September, in the English Chapel ; the admired uniformity of which, by the way, has lately undergone very considerable Improvement by throwing the reading-desk and pulpit into one. A grand billiard match was played here yesterday, between the. marker of the Bedford colie-House, rall.fillaU, and the marker at Holt's Rooms, in this town, stakes amounting to 12,000 francs (VW.); the game was ably coctested, and won by the lava., 4 numerous concourse of amateurs were present. THE LATE RIOTS AT SUNDERLAND. FROM THR YORE Hattaut. From a hand-bill now before Us, it appears that is commiseration of the situation of the seamen, " The Associate.l Trades" of Sunderland, have resolved to ,give up part of their funds, and part of their weekly ages to support the seamen, and to forward a sub scription for the widows and children of the deceased, Tranquillity is now restored at Sunderland, but there is no app mr.ince of an adjustment of the dispute be. twerp the shipowners and the seamen; indeed, if a report m-ntioned by our correspondent be true, that tl , c seamen zre determined not to heave ballast, theta is little o'lability of a speedy' adjustment.•—ln ad dition to the squadron of the Sd Dragoons, captain , Pemberton's troop of the Tyne Hussars was also called out, and was on duty several days. It has now been di ;charged from further attendance. The following ar, the names of the persons who were killed : Richard Wallace, who has left two children, and a widow* In a, : : dying state; Thomas Aird, a widow and one child; John Dover a widow pregnant and three children; Ralph Creighton, a single man; James Quigley, a widow and three children. The case of Ralph Creighton is peculiarly afflicting. This young man was in no way connected with the turbance. He was a shipwright, who was not out of his time, and had merely gone down to the beach to witness the proceedings. The Marquis and Marchioness of HAsTINos, on their road to Loudon Castle, in Scotland, called to see Mrs. BURPS, the widow of the Poet, and examined, with much interest, the relics of the Bard's festive board at the Dumfries Burns Club. A duel was fought on Friday, a short distance from Cal.'s, between a Mr. Sxrrn, formerly of dermyn-street, and Mon sieur Premix in consequence of a dispute at a gaming table at Ca lais. Monsieur PITAIID was dangerously wounded in the side in the first fire, and the ball has not been extracted. Thursday night, a fine French lugger, with above 300 kegs of spuits on board, was captured by the AR ROW cutter, Lieutenant POWNEY, and brought in.o Hastings the following morning. THE SHIP-BUILDERS AND SHIPWRIGHTS OF THE THAI/E?.—lt appears that a deputation from the mas ter ship-builders of the port of London arrived at Portsmouth, sanctioned by the Navy Commissioners, to engage such of the shipwrights in his Majesty's Dock yard as might be disposed to volunteer their services to proceed for a limited period to work in the river Thames. The offers made by the deputation of Lon don masters were extremely tempting. The dock-yard men were offered an engagement of three months, at the established prices for shipwrights' work in the port of London, with an express guarantee, that if the wages should fall short of is. 6d. per day, it shoul.l be made up to that amount. They were to be conveyed free of expense to London, and an advance made if reqUired., About 160 of the men gave in their names as volun teers, for the trip to London, but the others requested an adjournment fer a few days. At that time Mr. Gast, the Secretary of the Thames Provident Union, arrived, and attended the Meeting. Mr. Gast engaged to use his utmost endeavour to induce the shipwrights of the Thames to return to work in every yard without exception, provided the builders agree to certain resolutions. It was also agreed that if the ship• builders refused to confirm the arrangement, the ship wrights of Portsmouth would on no consideration pro ceed to the River Thames to their assistance; but that if the shipwrights of the Thames should refuse to con firm, and act on them, the shipwrights would assist the ship-builders. The representatives Of the two parties have since returned to town, and the shipwrights of Portsmouth stand pledged, on no consideration, to pro• ceed to the River Thames ' • while the shipwrights of the Thames are reconciled t o their masters, on the condi tion that the price -book be taken by every builder, and that the price of every item should be conclusively set , tied by the parties. .
