We have received, 4 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, ‘.Lo had died of the fever. A brig from Phihulel pLla had every person on board sick, except the Captain. Coffee had become very scarce at Port-au l'rluce, 28 Spanish dollars per ioOlbs. All was cat at the time these letters left: Christophe was at Sans Souci, busily engaged iu his dun stir af- Urs. From Montreal Papers, which have come to I.aad to did 15th of March, we learn that the Earl cf Selkirk has been cast in 15001. of datnages, in an action fur the false imprisonment, at Fort William of `Mr. Daniel Mackenzie, a retired partner of the North-West Company.

PARIS, MAY 4.—Yesterday grand deputations of the two Coal') berv. deputations Isom the Conn of Cessation, the Cour Royale. &c., congratulated the King in. the an niversary of his AlajeAy's return to Paris. The King, in his answer to the Prefect of the Seine, expressed his regret than an attack of the gout, front %%ditch he was not yet quite recovered, prevented I limn quitting his palace, as in former years, and from snowing himself, as lie wished, to his good city of Paris. The Duke 21111 Duchess de Berry dined with his Nlajezvy. The 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 Paris, on the it I that tht different aril. cies furnished by them to him were ordered by his in tendant, who was also that of the Crown, in the urine of the Government, and that therefore the Government ought to psy them. They lure received nothing fur 4 'earl. The marriage between the Infant of Spain, I)nn Francis Paul, and the Princess Charlotte Louisa of Na ples, was celebrated at Naples on the IStit ult. The Pr recess was to quit that city ors the •14th to proceed to Spain. CHAMBER OP DElTTlE__c—grrrixo or Mar 3. The discussion was res don the projtt de foi rela tive to the journals and periodical publications. Al. Poniard spoke in favour of the amendments proposed by the en. ttttt Mee. He was followed by N. Guam, who defended the original piojeTt. M. B. Constant grimed at sonic length against the project, sod pitmen arly combatted what he called the periodictly of publi cations, which appeared so absurdly defined in the first article. The dehuitiott therein contained might, lie conceived, be easily eluded by the author of one work, under the nano., suppose, of the Prepaoleur, gitiug notice, in the last Coi it, that another wo: kby the sime aothor would he publishes{ within a certain period, tinder the name, suppose, of the Rislorien, and so on, durin4 any length of rime the author might think pro per flits dei ter, lie remarked, would be somewhat lar to that of the English bigamist, who was Sc. ri lilted because liat,iog married three WiLYI, he contended he had not violated the law, which forced a Mall to mary two. At this observation there was a laugh. T he discussion on the law ttas closed, and that on the 'terral articles seriatim ordered to be commenced on the follow ing day. COURT OF ASSIZES, APRIL 29. BRCaISkLS, APRIL. f.V.--3,1. Lean, the counsel of Pi ter, einleataliarad to show that there wo•lld not have betas even the appearance of a plot, but for Ilse intrigues sof Laborde 111111 BLICIIOZ : and that his client was not a poloical madman, but besieged by agents, whom he would discover, he entire ed to get rid of them. The counsel of Berth and Dierickx followed a line of defence nearly similar, alleatiog that there was in fact nothiag that could be called a conspiricy, but that the whole was a contrivance or Buchox and lila agents, who had aloptql the two prisoners. AI. Batlcatians, counsel for Puuillot (or La Croix) Inaint4itted that his client had wane beyond the part asOgned him of watchihg Ilse oihtrs, and neat of any one is guilty it must be Burling. M. Verheagen, jun. counsel for Duch(); in a speech of three hours, said, lie would leave it to hi s c li ent toexcu l. pate hini , elf from the odious charges, foreign to this affair, which the prosecutor and the counael of the other prisoners have hroinJit against hint. Whether Buchoz be or be not an anent of the French police, and whether he has feet ivrd money from the French Am bassador or not, is of no consequence to the present question. An Antlias,ador, who repre3ems his so% e. reign, must not be calumniated, his diplomatic cliar.c ter must place hint shine sospicion. The counsel endeavoured to show, that the facts !brining the basis of me accusation cannot to any point of view coo,tittste a crime, much less such a one as Is provided against by an. 1 of toe Decree of rel/111 ..r April, 181 b ; that the Emperor Alexander was in our infusions only an individual, like oilier foreigners, to wont') the 4th article of the fundamental law gives prutectioti ; that therefote the plot iiii a only a plot avatiist an individual, who haul no runtime of 1.4.% , elriq ty minim/ us. and consequently was to be classed w ith or , imary crimes, if it had received an inceptive execution which would give it the character of an atteuipt to coannit murder. MAY 9. 'l lie overthrow of sue French Gene cut, he sa;s„ which seemed to be the object of the plot, would hot have necessarily hero followed by a revolution among us, or even by any troubles or disorders. It would be au insult to our Gore iiiiii ent, which is already cc meth elated, to seaplane that its ;sobbed existence depended tat the present Government of France; besides, what may happen in consequence Of all event is the I togoage of the laws to what must necessarily hap pet., and crimes are not proved by possibilities and con jectures. 'l • he two principal conditions required by the Ist ar ticle of the decree of 1815 are win ii iii g here; the object of the prisoners certainly was lint In excite dissens ion , Iwtween the inhabitants of tite kingdom, nor was there any act contrary to good order equivalent to seddiat% which the decree requiter. lie showed that the Out had ou inceptive executi ii ; that Buelsoa hammed the police of the plot, and followed the directions gisen I ' ; that the declaration ol Pouillot Is Croix, the otht r prisoner, was the only proof against Iluchria, and that Ins declaration ought to be reil Mil fur 'terra' reasons , that the anus bought by Machos, and &the:ell to Ll Croix, tin 110 L prose him to be an accomplice. The 9141 article requires that they shall have been used in the • • of the act ; but 111 this case there was no act committed, and the arms bought by Buchoz could not have been used its it, since they remained in the chamber of La Croix. Tins looming the Court opened at 10 o'clock. M. Otis, the prosecutor for the crown, replied to the de fence, and showed that a plot had Leen formed, and that it had received an inceptive execution; that so hor rible ass attempt as that meditated the august person of the Ellperor Alexander was surely eery likely to disturb the public tranquillity, lint meetly in our country, but in all Enrolee; and that the tie ei fl •of the French Government must necessarily have had ass influence on the kingd ttttt or the Netherlands and otht r c tries. He examined the charges against each oldie prisoiters„ and their defelice; but considered BliCht2 at she author of the plot, in the hope of a pecuniary re ward. A singular incident occurred at the close of the reply of Al. Lewd, counsel foe NM All iu j rrncunn had been givers hint yesterday not to attack the French Ani hassador. He asked the Courtto let him make free rue of all his mraus of defence. and to decide on ►he merit of the injunctiots. The Court, after half an huur's de lilwrairoir, cousidering that he French !Minister is au entire stranger to the affair now before it s maintained the injunction. Bit usszt.s. MAT I.—This morning the Cann of As sizes net at half-past Leh O . CiOeb,WO a warm &acts, slots ensiled between the counsel for the pritotters and M. Orts, respecting the questions proposed to the Court for decision by the prosecutor, and which were se%est in number, relative to the guilt of toe decceased reviler tWely, Scc. Tire Court finally condemned all the prisoners, namely, Pi. er and Dierrekx, to one year's Milo iso 00000 ent ; Pi tt:- lot ;alias La Croix) and Berth, to three yea's' imprw.it nient ; Buchoz. to one year's impti,otiment, to stand au the pillmy two hours, and to be brand-narked, ats.l ail the prisoners to pay Ihr cove. Advices from Jamaica to the Gth of Nlarch arrived on Thursday. The :Bland was perfectly healthy at that period. They bring the following intelligence with respect to the movements of Sir Gregor M.Gre gor. He was preparing to sail from Aux Cayes on expedition against some of the ports on the Spa nish Main. His officers reported, that they inteod ed to proceed to New Grenada, but it was well un derstood that Porto Bello was his object. His fcrce consisted of the brig Hero, of 16 guns; ship M starch of 18 guns, and 40 men ; s..ip Onyx, of 2 guns, and 35 men ; and brig Peteraburgh Packet, of 3 guns and 30 men. The laud force amounted to 600 men, the skeletons of three regiments who had signalized themselves in the Peninsular war. The men were in high health and spirits, and spoke confidently of success. A regular Commissariat was formed. and every thing appeared to be in good or der. Sir Gregor 111‘Gregor applied to l'resident Boyer for permission to purchase some arms and son. munition, which had been readily granted, and a National schooner dispatched from Poit-au-Psit.ce with every requisite .
