We have receivisl, by a Leeward Island Mail, let ters from Port-au-Prince, dated March 28, which state that they still remain very sickly at that port. Several vessels were lying there in want of men, who had died of the fever. A brig from Philadel phia hail every person on board sick, except the Captain. Coffee had become very scarce at Port-au- Prince, 28 Spanish dollars per ioolbs. All was quiet at the time these letters left: Chriatophe was RE kns Souci, busily engaged in his domestic af fairs. From Montreal Papers, which have come to hand to the 13th of March, we learn that the Earl of Selkirk has been cast in 15001. of damages, is an action for the false imprisonment, at Fort William of Mr. Daniel Mackenzie, a retired partner of the North-West Company. The following are extracts from the French and Dutch Papers of Tuesday, just received. PARIS.

The Duke and Duchess de Berry dined with his ,Majesty. Tile King received ladies in the evening. In the evening also the public edifices and a great number of private houses were illuminated. It appears that Lucien Bonaparte refuses to pay his creditors at Pails, on the ground that tut different arti cles furnished by them to him were ordered by his in tembut, who was also that of the Crown, in the name of the Government, and that therefore the Government n.ightt to pry theta.

The counsel of Berth and Dierickx followed a line of tleceoce nearly similar, allcyutg that :here was fact nothiag that could I.g:called conspiracy, but that the whole was a (Intuit rule? of [hubris and Ms aBcms, had duped the two I ,risoneis.

Verheagen, join. emotive' for Buchoz, in a speech of three hours, said. ne would lease it to his client to cite'''. pate him elf from the odious chorges, foreign to this affair, which the prosecutor and the coui:sel of the miter prisoners hate brought al must him. Whether Ruchos I.e tir be lint au assent of the French police. am, whether lie has treetied money from the French hassador or not, is of Ito consequence to the liregoit question. An Ambassador, who represents his ante. reign, most not be calumniated, his diploma:lc ehar.e ter must place him above snspicion. The counsel endeavoured to show, that the fscis forming the basis of the accusation cannot in any point of view coti-tituie a crime, much leas such a one as is provided •-tgaiiist by am 1 of the Decree of 20th of April, 1815 ; that the Emperor Aleirum der was in nor kin A doin mily an individual, like oilier Itireigticrs, to %violin the 4th article of the fundamental law gives protection ; that therefote the plot in question is only a plot against an individual, who liarl no attribute of sovereign ty montig us, and consequently was to be classed with ordinary crimes, if it had received an inceptive execution which would give it the character of an attempt so commit murder. _ _ _ The overthrow of the French Government, he says, which seetutd to be the object of the plot, would nut have necessarily liven followed by a revolution among us, or even by any troubles or disorders. it would be an insult to our Government, which is already ectiyoli. dated. to SOIIIXISeIIijI its ItolnlCii existence depended on the present (internment of France; besides, what may li . appeti in consequence of all nem is not assimilated in the langitage of the laws to what must necessarily hap pen, and C f s are not pro% ed by possibilities and con y:C:LIrCS. ' ltie two principal conditions required by the Ist ar ticle of iltt: decree of 1815 are Wanting here; the ohj.:et of the prisoners certainly was not to excite dissciicons lietutril the inhabitants of the kingdom, nor was there any act contrary to good order wpm:dealt to sed.tatn. which the decree requires. tie showed that the plot had no inceptive execittintt ; that Etichoz informed the palace of the plot, and followed the directions Olen hint ; that the ileelaiantai 4)1 roillnCit la Croix, the other prisoner, was the only proof apinst Bodine., aim tat his deeliration ought to be rejected fur several reasons; 'hat the arms bmw.ht by Boehm, and delitered to La Crux, do tint prol e him to be au accomplice. Tile gill article requires that they shall have been used in the commission of the act ; but in this case there was no act committed, and the arms bought by &mhos could not have been used in it, since they remained in the chamber iif LaCroix . This n 1311611,1 the Court opened at In o'clock. M. Otis, the prosecutor tor the crown, replied to the de fence, and showed that a plot had been formed, and t h at i t h a d received an incepore execution ; tnat 60 hor rible an attempt as that meditated against the anaust person of the Emperor Alexander was surely very likely to disturb the public tranquillity, not merely in our country, hut in all Europe ; and that the overthrow of the French Government must necessarily have had an influence nn the kingdom of the Netherlands and other countries. He examined the charges against each of the prisoners, and their defence; but considered BOCIIVZ as the author of the plot, in the hope of a pecuniary re ward. _ A singular incident occurred at the close of the reply o f Itl. L er oi, counsel for Piger. Au injunction had been given him yesterday not to attack the French Am bassador. He asked the Court to let hint make free use of all his means of defence, and to decide on the merit of the injunction. The Court, after half an hour's de liberation, consulermg that the French Minister is an entire stranger to the +Waif now before it, maintained the injunction.

His officers reported, that they intend ed to proceed to New Grenada, but it was well un derstood that Porto Bello was his object. His force consisted of the brig Hero, of 16 guns; ship Mo narch of 18 guns, and 40 men; sip Onyx, of 2 guns, and S 5 men ; and brio' Petersburgh Pucka, of 3 guns and 30 men. T he land force amounted to 600 men, the skeletons of three regiments who lewl signalized themselves in the Peoinsular war. The men were in high health and spirits, and spoke confidently of success. A regular Commissariat ws fortild, and every thing appeared to be in good or der. Sir Gregor tvl'Gregor applied to I - resident Beyer for permission to purchase some arms said munition, which had been readily granted, and a ?hitiontil schooner dispatched from Port-au-Prince with every requisite. 161mber of the States-General of %LI. via, in ri jecting a proilosiimil for inarodlocing me Lan. easterian .ysid-tst of educ;.tion, amen a reason which is tot a little stdrltrising. 1 hry sad that •• ii is &clop ed, at ;he Lett, only i r elementary ideas to a prOple of r,iucauun, bk.Cll ill that of NaryCe, England. anti the United States ; but iv much too CIIJIIICaI Ut 112441 f, arm too little faeotiralle to the &vs.- lorstictit of mind, and besides completely nseleff in a country such as Germany, where every villgac has its primary school.

On Friday , last, Lidy Mary I.nnirlale, of Charles s:rret, and Mrs. Anderson, had an interi irw for some time with the Fair Circassian, in the dn:r:irig•roont tif the Ambassador's house, by his permission.

We hear, that the grt at establishment of Jesuits at Stonylnin.t has alarmed iiimilters of the most ten ed and librsal men, became they think they obserie its their conduct a spirit of meddling, of encroachment, and proselytism, highly prejudicial, not only to the Es tablished Church, but to the purity of all religion, which derives its hest supt ert from halt' and knowledge. The practice of this growing anti opulent establishment in the centre of the kingdom it is said, by no means enjoys the approbation of the Catholic Body 'n general. On the contrary, they consider it as a dead weight on their cause, and lament its introduction into Eughind at a time when et ery Catholic King in Europe, wish the exception of the bigotted Kings of Spain and Sardinia, have forbidden the Society from setting foot in their ter ritories. The Ent press Cat herity, indeed, admitted them into Russia, and a general was nominated to whom the English Jesuits hold allegiance; best Alexander has banished them both from St. Petersbingh and Moscow. Si► J. C. Ilippesley has presented to the leading Mein den of both Houses of Parliament a statement of facts presented to the Sotereign Pontiff, P. Pius VII. on this subject. In the present alarming state of the country, arising from the pecuniary embarrassments of the Government, and when it is clear from the tone and disposition of the New Parliament in claiming the repeal of oppressive and immoral taxes, that any new tax would not be easily allowed; we are con cerned to state, that by the weekly returns. of the feneral Revenue, since the end of the /as; quarter, at appears that there is a fulling off of no less than 90,0001. weekly.
