It is rumoured in some of the political circles, but we know not w;th what degrCe of truth ) that a change is about to -take place in the hlinisterial arrange . ments, which will have the effect to place the Mar quis WE!..I.ESLEY in a high situation. A few days will ascertain the truth or falsehood of the upon. We have received Pat is Papers of Saturday. The Monitnir contains a speech from the Chancellor of France, as President of the Chamber of Peers, to the KING on thanking him for the Expar; of the state of the nation. 'lt is a sober and well digested perfor mance, and we cannot pay the orator a higher com pliment than by sayii.g that he has n;)t bcen the organ of that abominable and blasphemous flattery which nauseated the ears of all good men during the unna tural weer of BONAPARTIL After slighly sketching the deplorable condition of France under the reign of the Despot, some plain but well-merited compliments are paid to the KING: the whole concludes with some-' thing about" glory," which, perhaps, would have been better left out. We have yet to learn that there was any true glory in the monstrous atrocities committed by Frenchmen upon all nations for the last twenty years ! The Chancellor of France ought now to com municate some wholesome truths tolls silly country men—in the career of glory they have been out stripped by every other nation—they should nor'/ be taught to follow some honet way of getting a live lihood. pAYOUST has published a long defence of his can. duct at tiamburgh. It is in fact a defence not for Itlonsieur Davoust, but for every Frenchman who served under BoNapaarz—he too cloaks every act of his Government by declaring that it was necessary for the glory of the French arms ! The Gazette eh France contains a curious article on the subject of Naples. We are reminded that thert exists only a Convention for the suspension of arms, but no treaty of alliance between England and Naple, tinder the present Sovereign. The writer takes it for granted, however, that the Congress of Vienna will settle every dispute upon this head. ' PARIS, JULY 30. We have received intelligence from St. Denting° of the 28th of May. Thcre was a Congress at Go naives on the SJ of May, in which Christophe, who calls bin - milt - Hem I. Xing,of Hayti; Pecien, Pre iltlent at tit West ; and Burgella, Commandant-Gt . neral of the South, proposed an offensive and defin itive alliance, and to fiz the limits of their respective States: but the negotiators did not come to an un derstanding—the conferences were broken up on the Bth. The armies of Christophe and Petion met on the 17th, %hen the two Chiefs comm tnded in person: the battle was bloody : Christophe was victorious.— Petion loft the greater part of his troops and Gene rals; and if Romain, who has the title of Marshal, bad not been stopped by a regiment commanded by Pierre Rigaud, all would have been over with Petion. '.:—The latter retired upun Artibonite, and burnt the bridge of Esther to prevent the pursuit of Christophe. The latter was in full march for Port-au-Prince, 'when he was informed that Marshal Martial. Besse lied rebelled, and was marching upon the Cape.— Chrisophe set off in pursuit. Such was the nnfor• tunate situation of St. Domingo on the 27th of May. It k aid in some circles that a certain personage, who has already mad.? too much noise in the world, bas -escaped hum the isl ind of Barania. There is no truth in this report, The Governor of Baratria is sin much occupied with the !organization of his States to think of quitting them. We are assured that in order to make up for the smallness of his possessions, And to procure the satisfaction of contemplating a . • great and vast empire, and peopled with a great num ber of subjects, he has constructed a great quantity of multiplying glasses arid microscopes of immense powers. Every morning he receives tie greatriinctkisaries' pf the §tans, such as the Curate, the Vicar, and the Schoolmaster. Ile frequently makes his army pass under *view, He bas Ministers, Masters of the Ce remoniety Chamberlains, and Pages. He holds a Court *rice a- week. The Ladies cf the Island ap. pear at it in the most elegant attire: the taste of the Ladies of the High Bailiff and of the Town Clerk is particularly fine. As the little Gentleman is lona* a numerous population, he has recently ordered a hundsod osausiages, To conclude, he is embellishing, t h e w e ed as v, ell as he can : an old cow•house has been converted into &country place, and they have pew paved the streets of the capital. - m oat ?HD GASSTTIC D$ FRANCD. In our paper of the 28th, we gave an art i cle which • tame to us from Italy, but which nevertMess was.' not correct in its detail: We shall now rectify ti upon: theantluirity of a person of good credit. There nNer existed aiy treaty, in virtue of which England eutitled to occcpy any of the Ports, or any of the lilarids of the Kingdom of Naples : nothing 1)45 tlw original arrangement which sosicnded :s between Naples and England, . very ttue thalt there tics been an aiiiance Wien, sive and defensive concluded between the Courts of Austria and Naplei, but the loyalty of the Emperor of Austria is so well known, that it requires no treaty to sustain it, and we have only to observe, that this treaty was concluded at a period when the consent of all the Allied Powers was necessary, and an indefi nite armistice was then stipulated with England until thedefinitive treaty of peace between these two Powers. —How, in short, tieing armed as they were against one.and the same enemy, could they be at war with each other ?—We know that the English Journals are allowed to go great lengths, and frequently nothing can be inferred from them. Latterly some Members of Parliament have asked Ministers, what was the nature of the relation between Great Britain and' Naples ? and the Later referred them to the result of the Congress at Vienna. This is all that is known for certain; every thin else is conjectural. The Neapolitans know the En . lish c,!taracter too well to conceive the least one ness as to their future lot." . MADRID.

MEXICO, MARCH 12. The General of the Army has sent to the Marquis de la Concordia the details of a Battle gained - over the Rebels of Buenos Ayres. Seventy Officers and 800 soldiers are prisoners. There were 3(X) wound ed, more than 400 killed, eight pieces of artillery and 1500 muskets taken : in short, an army of 7000 men, perfectly equipped and disciplined, has been dispersed by the troops of the King. The Battle was fought on the plains of Angoma. A Dutch Mail arrived to-day :it contains low little intelligence of note. 4 contagious fever having broken ont in Corsica, the quarantine laws have been enforced at Trieste, Nose of the Dutch papers contain any later ac counts froth Norway. The Dutch now begin to suspect that the negotia tions with the American Commissioners at Antyrst will end in smoke! The following is the wai t which they notice them: " BRUSSELS, JULY i 6, "-From the Ist of August the different regiraeras composing the Belgian Legion aerto be in the pay of Holland. gs The English Ambassadors are expected at Ghent in the beginning of August : they have hired a very fine country house half a league from the city, Ansi the American Legation has hiled one of the, finest hotels ia the city. Their number is said to be complete as soon. as the Son-in-law of Mr. biadison, , Private Secretary to one of the Ambassadors, iaar- 1 rived. It seems that a ltus::ian Minitter is to be pre sent at the Congress, to mediate between England and America. But it is already evident that these Negociations which are on the point of being opened will be attended with many difficulties." This day, at noon, leis Grace the Duke of WELLING. TON embarked at Whitehall Stairs on board of the Loan MAYOR'S State Barge, under a salute of 21 guns. His Grace will dine with the Louo MAYOR and Aldermen at Richmond in the evening, the ex cursion being undertaken expressly in honour of the Hero. Th.: other City barges followed the LORD MAYOR'S in succession, and the River presented a gay and splendid scene. It appears by the following Extract of a Letter, Lhat a sort of military possession is taken of the Duchy of Holstein HAIVIBURGH, JULY Is. , 41 Two or three thousand Russians, who were in the Duchy of Lauenburg, arrived the day before yes. tcreaty in Altona, to take up their Cantonments in Holstein..

A valuable convoy had arrived at the Havannah from she adjacent Continent.' with 6000 dollars, besides produce. " From Carthageoa we learn, that Governor Ca meal, who commanded the independent troops, had approached within four miles of that city, and de manded that the paper currency should be abolished, and that the troops should be paid in specie. He WAS shortly after arrested by order of -the President, and placed in confinement. •' Major• General Elringtnn has been appointed to the crnirriand of the troops at Sr. Kitts, and has pro. cecded thither in the Army ship Emma." We have very recent intelligence by a vessel from Quebec, which left that fortress on the 3d July.

Extract of a letter from Halifax, dated June 29 s si We are a dull sea.port,cnosidering our relative sitsso tion; but the reason is, the ships are kept evestantly at sea to the rnithward, and being :able to obtain plenty of ' provisions,they are very healthy,and seldom make any' long stay here. But in spite of all our alertness, the American privateers manage to get their prises in. I am happy to say, that the reinforcements of troops, seamcn, artificers, ships in frame. and stores of all de. scriptinns, are daily al riving at Quebec. The Ameri cans will soon feel some ut the hitters of was; until they have, you must not expect a peace with them—and it must be such a beating as will leave "a lasting im. pression upon their fears."

We live here in the hope that the S.vedes, with dl their menaces. cannot effect any thing. The Nego ciatc.rs who have arrived here are, however, brought nut of the mistaking idea, as was the Revolution in this country, but a forced military operation, and more such falsehoods, asserted by the enemy of this coun try. Among other falsehoods, I have this day read a paragrap h i in the Garenbirgh Gaunt, scaling. t h at firelitreato'give a festival; but that all who were invited declined coming. All who are capable of bearing arms have now offered. their service, and they send from all parts and towns of the country gifts of motley and precious metals to the King. That con tempt with which the score of people, who wish for the Swedish yoke, is allowed to say and do whatever they please, proves how little dangerous they are. 44 The King likewise allows all Swedish Proclama tions,.which are sent to us, to be ettblicly inserted in our Newspapers, witlicatt notes. 'lt is a pleasure to reside among a people so honourable as the Norwe gians prove themselves to be. How blinded the Swedes must be, who think of ever quelling the an. cient antipathy, which is now become co rooted a national hatred. If the war should actually break out the contest will be bloody. I have mys e lf of en heard the common soldiers to say, very waif, that it would not do to make any !iris 'tiers, as traitors were thereby admitted into the country, whom they were even to feed, for which reasian, as a greater security, they would prefer killing all they got hold of ; and I am thoroughly acquainted with the character of the mountaineer of put.% who is in the habit of en. gaging with the bears in the forests, he will not miss his aim at the first shot.
