THE NATIONAL REGISTER --- REVOLUTION IN SPANISH ST. DOMINGO. Intelligence received from Liverpool states. Ora Spanish St. Domingo had declared itself indepen dent. We have now Vefore us the Declaration of Independence. and the Articles of the New Con- stit It. ion. The declaration is dated from the " City of St. Domingo, in the Spanish part of H a yti, Dec I, 18'11, first year of Independence." It is signed by Jose Nunez de Caceres, President, and Manua topes de Umeres, Secretary, besides the names of six other individuals. It commences is the follow ing style :—" No more submission —no more humi liation—no more obedience, to the caprice and levity of the Cabinet of Madrid. In these few but comprehensive words is contained the firm resoha turn which the people of St. Domingo this day pro- claim and swear tot" The Declaration then alludes to the " ignomini. out; bondage of 3t!S years," which is tles..ribed us a sufficiently long and painful lessan of what was to be hoped from a " fanatical loyalty to the Kings of Spain." The various grievances and oppreszions under which the colony groaned during that period are sub.:critically detailed, in somewhat energetic terms, and it concludes with obierving, that "if Spain recoguises and approves the Declaration, it shall henceforth be considered and treated as a friend ; but if it attempt to oppose the Indepen dence which has been proclaimed, they are prepared to defend it with their lives, their fortunes, and their honour." The Constitutiolal Act, which is also dated on the Ist ult , consists of 39 Articles. the first of which declares the Spanish part of Hayti a Free and Independent State. The form of Government is to be Republican, but established upon the most convenient principles of national representation: — meanwhile, a Provisional Junta of Government is established, consi.tlng of the Captain-General , the Political Chief, and Deputies from the five districts into which the Spanish part of the island is divided This Junta is to arrange the final regulations, and consolidate the constitutional system. The fifth article provides, that a Deputation shall be sent, with the least possible delay to the Presi dent of the Columbian Republic, to communicate what has taken place at St. Domingo, and to convey the wishes of the inhabitants to connect themselves in strict union with the States which actually com- NSC that Republic, or tho , e that may hereafter be long to it. The sixth article decrees, that another Deputation should be sent to the President of the Republic of Hayti, in the French part, proposing a treaty of amity, commerce, and alliance for their common defence, in case of any hostile invasion.— The remaining articles determine various political. civil, and municipal rights and privileges. Article eighteen secures the liberty of the press, subject to ertain regulations and penalties. A ROWLAND FOR AN OLIVER. _*.N • Mr. Curteis has published a lon2; letter, wit" view to exonerate himself from any share in the blame which he conceives to attach to those who caused Mr. Cobbett to be present at the late Agri cultural Dinner.—We contemn Mr. Cobbet t's pr; nci pies, especially on account of his repeated phlitical aonstacies, but we admire his abilities; and those abilities shine brilliantly in the following comments upon Mr. Curteie late letter : I see that Mr. Curteis has thought II necessary to state, in the poldie papers, Shay he hail nothing to do with my being at the di 1111 l at Bank! Who the devil thought he had ? Why, was it not all ordinary s and bail I not as mu d, H e m I n be Ito re as In ? He has .04111, Inn, that he did not know t h at I was to Ile at the d• T.

He has said, that hr slid no' hear of any drptstation to invite nip to the 41i 1111 l and, " upon inquiry," cannot find t h at there was any. Have I said thiit there was any invitation at all! 'llirre was, but I have not said so. I went to the flintier fur my half-crown like ano ther man, at it. Hui, if Mr. Csirteis tuought it IleeelMlly to say so much, he might have said a little more. He might have said, that he twice addressed himself to me in a vets particu lar manner, atul that I sever addressed myself to him r.trept answer; and, if he had thought " inquiry" as erNMAI y this sit tiject A. 40, he Might have found, that thongli always the tiled to speak to hold the hand to a hard-fisted artisan Of 1141ti.lifef,11 never did the ,; •to a man of rank or sillies in the whole courtly. i t my life.

The brig Nymph, which arrived a few days before from London. with mus kets and 40 0 barrels of gunpowder on board, was laid under an embargo; but as her cargo was origi. nally intended for Constantinople, it was supposed she would be suffered to proceed. The only conse quence of the prohibition would be to transfer ill the trade in the articles comprehended in it to Genoa amid Leghorn, where no such impediment existed.-- This measure was extremely unpopular with th he British merchants resident in Malta, who were 100 ing with some degree of hope to the removal of oi.l restrictions, rather than a ntici p ating new obstacles to their declining commerce. Sir Thomas 'Maitland arrived there II few days before tram Cortu. He has desired the principal merchants of Malta to submit to hint their opinion respecting the continuanceconinuance of the monopoly in corn, together with which that opinion was thrilled. A report was cur rent that this branch of the trade of the island will be thrown open in June next. An investigation has la tel y taken place in the. Victualling-o ffi ce, which has LA to the discovery If great irregularities, and to sonic dismissals from high othicial situations. Other removals are also threoat ened. A few days %sill, no doubt, brin g tbe whle affair before the public. Sols. Messrs. - 4. :_;,.. _. , _ _ I Pr , iiiirs 4 ' , o. ,
