Yefterday we received New Yost Papers up to the 4th of April, from which we have eztraasd the following particulars:— SITRACT OF • LITTIIt MOM Ma. CORE, TO I GENTLEMAIO MI SALEM, OATS]) LONDON, JAN.IO. 4. On the Bth init. Mr. Kum, on the part of our Government, and Lord Hawatssoar ou the part of the Englifts, concluded a convention be tween the United States and Great Britain, which terminates all. the crifting differences, under the 6th article of the Britifh treaty. In this conven tion it is fliptilated, that all claims of Britilh rub jets on the American Government, under the 6th article, flail be commuted into an obligation of the United States, to pay to the Britifb Govern ment 600,0001. fterling, or three annual payments, the firft inftalment to be paid one year after the final ratification of the convention. On the other hand, claims of American Citizens,• for fpoliated property, are to be adjnfted as provided for under the Britift treaty, and payment to be made thereof by the Arias Government at London, at the above periods, the reft in bills at 6o days. The duties have been reduced to five per cent. We thought thefe proceedings would have reconciled the merchants to deal with us with candour, but they attempt every day to deceive and defraud the Adminittration, and avoid its regulations." On the 2Rth Pluviofe, (Feb. i 7,) General LE. cLaac publiihed a proclamation, declaring the colony of St. Domingo in a Rate of blockade.— The 2d article of it declares, that the only portal into which veils coming from foieign ports can ,enter (until further orders), are th Ae of the Cape and Port•au.Prince. A leiter from Cape Francois, to Mr. Fiction, fays--44 We found here a number of American veal' unloading or ready to unload. Their cargo eonfilted of about zoo barrels of flour, tome bread, falt provifions, and coarfe wines. The' merchants, it WAS expefted, would have treated the French no worfe than they had done Toy s omas., but they made the me* extraordinary de mands. An embargo, however, made them more moderate, and the General took their flour at 12 dolla rs, one quarter in calls." A letter from New York, dated April 2, fay:— " Yellerday afternoon arrived from port Republi cain, the fchooner Recovery, Capt. Puaca, which place he left on the =4th lan. Capt. Preece in forms us, that for a week before he failed, wound• ed French from the army of Laci.lac were daily coming into port Republicain ; that aOOO had ar rived, among whom were three Generals whom be had Peen that an American brig from St. Marc had brought zoo, that part of LICLERef ilea was carried away by a ball. Toussaiwr was in his bong hold,about so miles behind St. Marc, where Lacssac was refAved to attack him, for which purpofe bombs were fent from port Re publicain." Letters received by the Recovery, dated, t7di March, make no mention of the above particulars. The St. Ja;o de la Vega Gazette of the 27th February, which we have received, Rates the latch accounts to have been received at Jamaica from St Domingo to be of the 23d. It Pays, Intelli• gence from Adz Cayes as late as Tuefday left, Rates, that no French troops had at that period landed there, but that the inhabitants in that quar ter were very well difpored to receive them, and had all taken up arms to refill any oppofition which might be made to their landing."

KING', BENCH, GUILDHALL, APRIL s 7. SI•W‘ON W. H•RTSINCIE •ND OTNIRS. • This was an &Rion on two bills of exchange, one for 3541. and the other for 3081. brought by the Plaintiff as indorfee againft the Defendants, Melfrs. Hartfinck, Hutchinfon, and Playfair, as acceptors. Playfair had fuffered judgment by default, and Hartfinck and Hutchinfon had pleaded their bank ruptcy : and the due allowance of their Certificate under the fame. The Plaintiff had replied that the certificate was not available, it having been ob tained by the payment of certain fums of money to feveral of the creditors, to induce them to fign it ; and by the Defendants having within a year previous to their bankruptcy, loft more than tool. by (peculating in the funds, in violation of the provifions of the sth Geo. 11. As the circum dances of this trial are nearly fimilar to thofe we have detailed on a former occafion, and the venial precifely the fame, we (hall confine ourfelves to a very britf ftatement. The Defendants were the proprietors of a Bank, denominated the Security Bank, the principle of which was, that of lilting its notes upon the faith of property pledged as a fecurity for their payment : the hiftory of the very (port reign of this eftabliihment is too well known to render it necellary to dwell upon it. It was proved by the teftimony of the fame witneffes who were examined in the former cattle of Beatfon again& Hartfinck, that the fecurities held by fe veral creditors were brought up, in order to obtain their fignatures to the certificate ; and it was alfo proved that the Defendant, Hartfinck, had ad mitted that his failure was owing to loffes he had experienced in confequence of flock jobbing tranf aetions—h appeared fomewhat doubtful whether Hutchinfon, who was a Clergyman, and had lent his name to the firm, was privy to thefe gambling tranfattions, the Jury therefore returned a verdiet in favour of the Plaintiff as to Hartfinck, but con- firmittory of the certificate of Hutchinfon . OLD BAILEY. Yefierday the Seffion commenced, when Samuel Clarke was indiled for a burglary in the dwelling hook of Henry Styles, at Stainei, in the county. of Middlefex, and (leafing therein a quantity of plate, ar the property of the Paid Henry Styles, and Styles, his fifter, on the night between the gth and toth of Mar ch la& The burglary and robbery of a quantity of plate, Sec. being proved ; Barnet Elias depofed, that he lives at New Town, is a pedlar, and that on the gth of March he ept at Owen Davis's, at Hounflow and that on the loth in the morning, going from thence to Staines, in his way to Chertfey, the pri toner jumped over a gate, allied him if he was not a Jew ? and on anfwenag yes, prifoner allied him if he would buy Come wedge (elver)? ne anfwered yes, and prifoner pulled out of his pocket a falt fpoon. The witnefs allied if he had any more ? He faid he had more in plant (bid). Witnefs afked him if he could not get it then ? He raid no, there was a man at work near the place, but if the witnefs would meet him at Staines bridge at fix o'clock-in the evening, he would go with him and fell it all to him. The witnefs offered to - call at the prifoner's houfe, who Paid no ; I am furpeaed in the town to be a fufpicious perfon, and fear my houfe may be fearched, befides the matter has not been done long. I broke the houfe only this morning. The witnefs then agreed to meet him at fix o'clock in the even ing, at Staines bridge, but in the mean time went to a jufice of Peace and gave information, and two conftables were ordered to be at the bridge about that hour. The prifoner was punaual to his time, and went with the witnefs to the place where the plate was planted ; took up fome rods, and drew from under them a bag in which was the plate.— The witnefs then drew out a long knife from his pocket, reused the prifoner ' and raid if he offered to fir he would cut his head off; on which the pri toner gave the bag a (wing and threw it into the river; immediately after which, the two confla bles and feveral other perfons came up and helped him to fecure the prifoner. When he brit law the prifoner in the morning, he told him what articles he had got, which were the fame as found in the• bag, and that he took them from a houfe near Staines. The two conflables corroborated the teflimony of the lalt witnefs, of being tent by order of the Jullice, and that they faw the prifoner throv • the bag into the river, which, when flying througl the air, they heard jingling, as of plate. They then proceeded to drag for the fame, and ,at length re covered it, and took it to the Jolliet's, where it I was (worn to by the profecutor and his filler. The profecutor and his filler examined the feve. rat articles produced in Court, and proved the whole to be their's, either jointly or feverally. The Jury, after a fevi minutes' confultation, found the prifoner—Guilty. Alexander Paterfon and James Riddle, two young men, have been apprehended and commit. ted to Edinburgh jail, being aecufed of robbing a Gentleman of his watch in the Grafsmarket, on Friday night laft.
