HAGUE, JULY 27.—1 t is faid, that obftacles were thrown in the way of the Prince of Orange's projeaed tour to BruiTels, by an autho:ity which he did not deem advifeable to refill in the prefent juncture of affairs. Nor was the defig,n by any :ans palateable to a part of our Government. It might have awakened the !'mothering affeCtion of his adherents, and given birth to difagreeable con fequeaces. Our fquadron under the command of Admiral DR WINTER, was fpoke by a Swedilh Captain between Cape St. Vincent and Madeira, all well. The Confuls of the Batavian Republic in Great Britain, by a refolution of the Government of State, are to refume their funCtions under the title of Lommi,Foner: of Commerce ; but they are to get no falary from this country, nor is the office to be conferred on the firm of any commercial houfe. It has been propofed to the Government to place a Conful at Aberdeen in Scotland ; but as Leith lies more foutherly than the former place, and is better lituated, Government have thought proper to defer this matter for the prefent. For the general Confulate at London feveral applica. tions have been made, but the Government has not yet fixed on any perfon. It is however thought that one of the partners in the houfe of VANDYKE and Co. will be releCted. _ _ The new acquifitions of the Eleetor of Bavaria are regulated and guaranteed by Ruffia. They cut fill in the Bifhoprics of Augfburgh, with Saint U rich, Freyfingen, a part of PaTati, Kempten, Wurtzburgh, and Bamberg; the new rich imme diate Abbies Yrfee, Ottobeuren, Urfperg, Wet. tenhaufen, Roggenburg, Kayferfheim, Elchingen, Soeflingen, and Wengen ; in the eight Imperial Towns, Ulm, Nordlingen, Bopfingen, Kauf beuren Rathenburg, Windfheim, Schweinfurtb, Dunkelfbuhl. The whole of thefe comprife 3i z fquare miles, 900,000 inhabitants, and produce a revenue of 27c,000 florins. The Counts PREYSING, 5601314E114, and VON WEICKS, are appointed Elektoral Commiffaries to take pof feffion. The inheritance of Wiltelibach will be fe parated from Bavaria, and divided between Dam , ftadt and Baden, which are frontier neighbours.

Letters from Amberg of the 12th Rate, that a Pruffian General has alto arrived there, and that he was feen at the head quarters. There and in feveral other towns, there are CommiWaries charg• ed with the bufinefs of fettling the contra& for fupplying the troops with provifions. It is Rill afferted that the Auftrians have oc• cupied a part of the Upper Palatinate, but nothing pofitive is yet known on the fubjeft. If we may credit the Official Difpatches, the French are advancing with molt extraordinary rapidity and fuccefs in relloring tranquillity in St. Domingo, and conciliating the attachment of the Blacks to their late conquerors. Every thing in the form of organifed hoffility has ceafed ; and there is at prefent every appearance of a cordial reconciliation. The publication of the Concordat is flid, above every other confideration, to have operated this important revolution in the feelings of the Negroes. Admitting this atfertion to be corral, one cannot help expreffiug aftoniffiment malignant and detectable yaffion!, and, wherever it fuits their conveniency, defcribing them as tirongly alive to moral and religions impreffion, and with gratitude fubmitting to the humane pre- cepts of the Chrithan religion. Thefe abfurdities cannot be long maintained. The moft vain-glo rious of European philofophers can expert only to be laughed at by continuing to deny to the Blacks the common attributes, privileges, and rights of human beings. PROCLAMATION. THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF, CAPTAIN.GENERAL OF THE COLONY OF SAINT DOMINGO, TO THE INHABI TANTS OF SAINT DOMINGO. Mad-quarters, Cape, June la. ClTlZENS—Toussatar was confpiring : you will judge of it by a letter herewith annexed, and addreffed to Citizen Fotyratme. I could not en danger the tranquility of the Colony. I have canted him to be arrefted, put on board (hip, and fent to France, where be will give an account of his condo& to the French Government. In an other letter addreffed to C. Fon ram t he launches out into inve6tives againft General CHRISTOPHE, and complains that General DESSALINES aban doned him. He forbade SYLLA to lay down his arms, and the working negroes to cultivate any other plantations than thofe which fupplied them with provifions. He had fent one of his accom plices to General DESSALINES, to induce him not to be fincere in his fubmifflon. General DESSA. LINES declared fo to me. He depended much at Saint Marc on Maaisser ; he has been arrefted. I was incenfed againft this great criminal, and I ordered the Generals of Divifion of the Army to compel by force all the cultivators who are tun under arms in the mountains to return. The cul tivators are not the ntoft culpable, it is thole who mifled them. Every Commandant therefore of the National Guard, every Officer and every Pro prietor who (hall be found in an armed body, Mall be immediately (hot. In regard to the Commune of Ennery I have ordered it to be immediately dif armed, for having been fo long in fubmitting. General BRUNET will enure this order to be int inediately executed. The Chief of the Staff will canfe the prefent order to he printed, publifhed, and polled up, with the letter of General Toussatmr, and (hall fend it immediately to the Army and throughout the whole Colony.

In regard to the flour which we are in want of, as well as the other, it mutt not be fent without paging la Saona, that the point may be known where they can be depofited in fafety. If you fee the Commander in Chief, tell him that the cultivators will no longer obey me. They with to make them work at Heti court, which the overfeer ought no to do.

It has been remarked in the papers that the pre. fent Chief Jußice of the King's Bench is the youngeft lawyer who has ever filled that high fitu. ation. Perhaps the celebrated Lord HARDWICEI is an exception. He was no more than forirthrs4 when promoted to the Chiefyqflicehip, and forty u t only when made Lord CNANCRLLOR.

A letter from Berwick, dated July z.., lays— The eledion for Berwick-upon-Tweed doled yef terday, leaving . the old Member, Sir JOHN CAL. LANDER, in a minority of 28 votes. As is under.

The numbers of Mr. PAXTON'S voters, who have come from a diflance, and been occafionally Obliged to remain here at night, have not only not efcaped the hard-preffed vigilance of the reds, but have induced attempts at fecretion againft the morning. A. recourfe to fuch artifices too evi dently befpeaks a weak caufe, although it has had the benefit of nearly a twelvemonth's canraf , ; while, on the other hand, Mr. PAXTON, not being a Candidate until the fourth day preceding the leledion, has to boaft of a moil unparalleled and almoft unfolicited fupport.
