MELISSEN, which failed from Rochelle, having under convoy fix merchant vetrels and a body of troops, deilined for Batavia, arrived is Port Prayo Bay, in the illand of St. lago, one of the Cape de Verde's, on the ;d of May. The voyage, up to that period, had been favoio able, and what is remarkable, none were either fick or had died on board any of the !hips. The fquadron was to remain fix or feven days, and then to continue its voyage. Intelli gence of the peace had reached St. lago, and had produced great joy.

Head-quarters, Baffe Terre. floadaloupe, 19 Meador, year to, (July 8). • Citizen Minifter—My talk difpatches concerning affairs in Guadaloupe were dated 9 Prairial (May 39), at which time all my military operations of importance had terminated by the capture of Matouba. The troops have Lace had only to pur fue the remnant of rebels, Inaccelßble to all the means of per fuadon, and incapable of returning to their duty. Nothing but the death of theft wretches could put a ftop to conflagration sad the murder of the Whites in the Colony. There affalfinations, and the devaftations which have fallen upon tome proprietors, excite in my boron: the molt painful fenfations. But I and confider as a fortunate event for the re generation of the Colony the refolution taken by the People of Colour to oppofe the difembarkation of the army. It is cer tain that they flew to arms from a fufpicion that the *tied bf my miffion was to reduce the whole body of Black troops. and to compel a part of them to (Omit again to the labours of cul tivation. They were likewife animated with a hope that Ton SSAZ NT would be able to maintain his authority in Saint Domiego. They were aware that the troops competing the expedition fent front France were very few in number. " Now that fecurity and tranquillity are completely re-effa' blilbed, all the ideas of agricultural and commercial profperity begin to fpring up. The °Mules to this profperity arofe from the ambition of the leaders of the armed force, from the li cence of a numerous body of troops,and from the habits of idle nefs and pillage of the common negroes.-15,000 have returned to their habitations, where they will be fubjedled to a jolt and even dircipline. " The Officers, Subalterns, and Men of the Army, have concluded themlfelves in this campaign like French foldiert— Courage, difelpline, and attachment to the Government. There are the virtues they have never ceafed to difplay in a war which left them no alternative but to conquer. I will fend you the names of thole deferving particular praife ; and I implore your friendly folicituae in favour of the wilows and orphans left by thole who have fallen in the field of battle, or chore who have died o; . their wounds. I fubjoin a lilt (which Is, alas! too nu lacrous) of thole brave men. " I have the honour to falute you, (Signed) " RICtitrANSI." THE GENERAL IN CHIEF TO THE MINISTER or THR MARINE.

Bo- NAPARTA'S Egyptian expedition thews hi: fend ments, as ltrongly at leall as the paragraph in the Moniteur can be fuppored to do. If, how ever, France willies to proted the independence of Turkey, it is natural to fuppofe' that all French Officers and French influence will quickly be re called from the camp of Passwew OGLou. If it be the intereft of France to proted the Turks, (and it is the intereß of France well undernood to renounce all conqueßs and all fchemes of fo reign encroachment,) BONA►ARTE has receiv ed a new light. It is not for the happinefs or for the liberty of France to have extended her ter ritory as the has done by the revolutionary wars. She has made an empire, not a republic; and bar tered internal freedom for an empty name. There bad politics, the end of which is mifchief, are not , yet out of falhion in France. BONAPARTE, before he went to Egypt, had fixed his eyes on Turkey as a fubjed for revolutionary experiment. We have now under our eye a book of Travels, written by a countryman of BoNapa amaCorfican,named STEPHANOPOLI, who declares that he was fent on purpofe to the Morea by BONAPARTE to recon• noitre and prepare the elements of revolution in that quarter. The book is a foolilh one, to be fure, and the fpies fent, egregious idiots; but the man exprefsly declares that he was fent from the Army of Italy by BONAPARTE on an Apollolic minion of this kind, and if he tells a falfehood, his book deferves a paragraph as much as any thing that has hitherto excited the refentment of the Moniteur. If BONAPARTE, however, has changed his opinion, and really willies to keep peace in Europe, we are very glad to hear it. Sure we are that the French nation can have no kilt motive in going to war, whatever finifter views its Rulers may have. The Moniteser contains letters from General RI. CiMANSE at Guadaloupe, announcing that he has fent home to France a numbcr of perfons of colour whom he thought dangerous to the peace of the ifland. He is refolved to put arms into the hands of none but Europeans. He confiders any other fyftem as mifchievous. The Moniteur or the 12th of Angtill contains the plan for the organization of the Italian Repub lic. It is drawn up under ten heads or titles : the &Hi refers to the general organization ; the fe cond to the Prefeaures ; the third, to the Sub-Pre leas; the fourth and fifth, to the Departmental Adminiftrations ; the filth, to the Municipalities ; the feventh, to the General Councils ; the eighth, to the Chancellors of Diftrias ; the ninth, to the Council for Dial-kb ; and the tenth, relates to Pro. vifional Difpofitions. The EMPEROR of RUSSIA has ratified the Con vention refpeding the indemnities; and according to report, he has Ilipulated for certain conditions in a feparate inftrument, one of which is full indent. nification to the Krim of SARDINIA. This cannot be true. Where can fuch indemnification be ob tained ? In this Convention between France and Ruffia, it has been agreed, that, (hould the de. putation of the Empire procraftinate their decifion relative to the indemnities beyond the period of two months, from the plan being fubmitted to them, the contraaing parties are to take poffiffion of their feveral (hares. In fad, Pruffia has begun, and has already occupied Hilder fheim, Munger, and Paderborn, replying to the remonflances of the Court of Vienna, that this courfe is purfued in confequence of a feparate con. vention made with France, and that Auftria had adted in a fimilar manner in taking pofreffion of the Venetian territories, as an equivalent for the lots of the Auftrian Netherlands. The EMPEROR continues paffive, as any active oppofition would bring on a rupture between the two countries.— The fmaller Rates, however, have halted in con fequence of the menaces a the head of the Em pire, and as Pruffia ads under an efpecial Treaty with France, Bavaria, He& Darmftadt, &c. have f:nt to Paris to obtain by convention a firnilar fandlion. France, it is fuppoled, will authorife every petty Bate to as in defiance of the Court of Vienna, and the extraordinary Deputation will j Letters from Peterlborgh, dated July 13, fay— ea The following is an authentic account of the fin gular reception which Count Panty experienced in Sweden : This Nobleman propofed so make a tour through all the European States and to begin with Sweden. When he arrived in Finland he was vifited by General Couat de KLINGSPOR, who told him he was furprifed that he (hould purfue his way through a Province which at all times pre rented fo few convenitncies to the traveller, and of which all the refources were at that time ab forbed by the prefence of his Majefty and fuite. He therefore advifed him to embark and to pro ceed to Stockholm by water. Count de Pawls re plied, that if he had wifhed to take that courfe he might eafily have hired a fhip at Peterfburgh ; but he was unwilling to travel by fea as he had all his family with him; on this account he had travelled by land in the belt manner he could, as it was of little im poi tance to him whether he arrived at Stockholm a few days later or fooner. Count de KLING:rot retired without returning any anfwer ; but a few minutes after, he wrote to Count de PAN I N, that it was the defire of his Swe difh Majefty, that his Excellency would not con tinue his journey through the kingdom. Count de PANIN replied, he knew that the defires of Sove reigns were orders, and that he would return to Ruffia ; but that he was much aftonified that his Swedifh Majefty (hould intimate to him fuch an order; that as an individual he could not have incurred the difpleafure of his Majelly, and that, confequently, he could afcribe the prefent treat ment only to his former quality of Minifter for the Foreign Affairs of Ruffs& " It is well known, that after the peace between England and Denmark, Sweden demanded in demnities from Ruflia, under the pretence that it fitted out an armament, and had been at confider able expence, and that Count de Pasts, who was then Minißer, refufed this demand, obferving, that Sweden had not fent out a tingle (hip, and had not contributed to the defence Of the Sound. Count de Pass a, therefore, returned to Ruflia, and on his arrival at the frontiers he fent a courier to his Majefly the EMPEROR, to inform him of the reception he had met with in the Swedifh terri• tories. The EMPEROR replied in a note, which contained the following patfage :—"" I beg you to believe, that I confider the injury done to you as an infult offered to my own perfon."—lt is not yet known what will be the refult of this affair, which may become fes ions."

Two boys belonging to the brig Adventure, Capt. Conti's, which we have dated to have funk Lilt week off Brighton, were on Saturday taken before the LOAD MAYOR, and underwent a private examination. They gave fuch a Qatement as left no doubt of the felonious intention of the Captain to fink the veffel. It appeared from their tedimo• ny, that on the fignal of di ltrefs being hoilted, boats came to their relief fooner than the Captain ex peeled ; and that he ordered them to keep off, or he would fire upon them. The boys were admit ted as evidence againft the Captain, and will, to gether with one of the owners, be brought up again on a future day.
