Thus exhibiting l e minuet produetion of 397,000 bales of one single o we, the value of which is not less, probably, than tim ely millions of dollars. This is an astonishing circumstance, considering that about thirty years aro this article was almost u nknown here. It acquires also additional import rice, when it :s considered that in its transportation a b roa d, and is the return of its proceeds home, this article employs an immense quantity of shipping, thereby furnishing the means of a livelihood to a large um ber of our useful and enterprising eitisens.—lt' maw also be safely asserted, that the Treasury of the u n ited States will receive the sum of sic millions of dollars, in the duty on goods imported in payment for this article alone. Extract of a letter, dated Port-an-Prince, 10th April, igs—lt is now a rainy season, but the coffee is coming i sok a of excellent quality. Mountain coffee, of the best kind, sells at 31 sous, that is 18 cents.—There are now 104 in this harbour SO or 100 vessels, some of them i ns trance. It sampated that there are in Port-au-Prince, 20,000 w e b, 7,000 mulattoes, !,000 white people, the latter nada% of ail nations, but chiefly of European French. Ile British Admiral, Sir Home Popham, is expected here every day, an 3 great preparations are making to receive him. In despite of the prejudices of the people of lansaica, he entertained the Haytian Deputies there, at a British Admiral, in company with Lady Popham. You see here portrait-painters, music-masters, &c. troy Europe, and they are all patronized and flourish. Bat they who can work with their hands, particularly in tilling the land, must, with prudence, acquire independ ence. Carpenters, &c. receive, not unfrequently, the wages of five dollars per day, and do not work bat a part of the day. The National Palace has been lately decorated with the richest furniture from Prance and England, in the selection of which, great taste has been exhibited. The convening of the troops around the metropolis, rid the reports of camps to be formed upon the neit, h. !miring heaths, of the River Fencibles to be arranged apon the water, and of cannon to be planted near the place of trial, for the protection of the witnesses against the Queen, present such a collection of objects of terror as had never been contemplated by the peaceful citizens of London. Why these dreadful notes of preparation? Are they suggested by the apprehen sionspee eftertaised from the sentiment s of the Iwir are they annpuneed for the purpose of e cillk as alarm ? That such extraordinary pretibrations . . corm take place without producing extraordinary se rations is obvious but of what na re. thesei p ieL , Sty be, it Is not so easy to e. minds they will produce servility, incothers tation ; but in all they cannot fail to producellirconviction, that the atroatest measures are intetided, and the most awful /clink is kept in view. It is impossible, n'terly impossible, under circumstances like these, that the public either will or can be initialled with the tenor of the proceedings. To Englishmen, constitutionally jealous of their riOits, wbo are accustomed in every county town to are the military decamp upon the kiproach of the Judges of Anise, that every species of controul and influence should be removed from the judgment-seat, it cannot otherwise appear but that the a-ray proposed is incompatible with the impartial un ein'iarrassed and independent tone essential to the ad ministration of justice. More, much more, it cannot but be believed, is meant, than strikes the eye or ear. The investigation of the ednduct of the WIEN that took place before, was without parade, but with due solemnity; and the resalt was as satisfactory, as the scrutiny was strict. The Consort of his present MA USTI, was then but PRINCE of WALES—he was not even Hamm But had the influence and controul that are now in the hands of her adversaries, and that are now about to be employed against her, exercised in the manner that is now to be feared, what would bare been the issue of the inquiry which then pro nounced her innocent ? We observe, with concern, that Mr. Serjeant `VAconars, in the Trial of Major CARTWSIGHT and others, at Warwick, said to the Jury (according to the report of the trial in the public papers), " although i: had been held, it was their province to determine every thing, be tra•ted that they would rather con tent themselves with deciding on the fact, without meddliag with the few of the ease. The education, habits, and studies of the Learned Judge, who then sat on the Bends, rendered him more fit than they were to decide on the Law ; and he therefore hoped, that in spite of every attempt to nose the Judges in their own Court, they would confine themselves within their own province, and not trench upon his." Here the Learned S/111111A.NT (if those words are his) gives advice to the Jury to abandon the most important part of their duty, and to commit that to the discretion and mercy of the Junoe. We would not have the Juries " nose the Judges in their own Court," nor any where. But we would wish them to perform that duty which the Law has assigned .to them, and for which they were tt more fit," according to the opinion of our Ancestors, than the Judger, for the ugliest we *hall hereafter *Relic And abort all, we deprecate the attempt of Counsel to revive the exploded and ser vile doctrine, that Juries are not the Judges of the Law. ire trust, there is seine mistake In the Report we have enotmoos STATESMAN. quoted.

But the Jury thought otherwise; and it is violated rights, the inhabitants of Norwich have ex the sole duty of Juries to obey their own conscience, in premed only those sentiments which affection breathes from their generous hearts. their verdict.

But knowing that my integrity was Judge. my security, as long as they remained within the con - fines of our constitutional' sanctuary, they leaped with profane daring over that sacred boundary, and are now labouring to annihilate my honour as a woman, and my dignity as a Queen, by a procedure which must in its consequences be perilous to the vital interests of indivi dual and general liberty. I am now, therefore, struggling not more for my own good than for that of the country. The question, at this moment is not merely whether the Queen shall have her rights, but whether the rights of any individual in the kingdom shall be free from viola tion. " The maxims of English jurisprudence have always hitherto, been favourable to the accused. Perhaps lily accusers, who are also to be my judges, thought that they were acting in conformity to those maxims, when, after spreading the accusations against me over a period of six years, and a spare almost equal to that of a whole Continent, they refused any specification of .the times when, and the places where, the charges were laid, after they had previously condescended not to grant any list of the witnesses by whom these charges were to be supported. A generous enemy never 'commences the combat by previously wresting from his adversary every instrument of defence. But is not the conduct of my enemies a proof that they think their own cause weak and mine strong? Why else do they labour with a sort of trembling cowardice to cripple my powers of resistance ? Is not this tacitly to tell the world that my integrity is their dread, and my accusation their shame ?" It is reported in the military circles, that four camps are to be formed, the two consisting,of the greatest number of troops are to be, the mne on Hounslow heath, and the other on Blaekhe a tbi Almost every town and village at from ten to fifteen miles round the metropolis, has at this time parties of the military, horse and foot, quartered at the several inns and public-houses.

We are informed by a Chinese Traveller that many Satires in the Illidibrastie style, are looked after with great avidity by the Politicians of that Country. Translations of ovhicli would, in all 'probability, cause very awkward though interesting sensations in this. At a time when the extravagance of Ministers is a subject of complaint with every one, it must be a 'nat ter of much consolation to every lover of his country to know, that two Noble Lords, high in his Majesty's counsels and confidence, are so devoted to economy, that they permit a near relation in very advanced years and of unexceptionable character, to apply to a public charity for relief, rather than burthen either the nation or their own private purses.

The new piece that is announced fur performance this evening at the Haymarket, is, we understand, from the pen of Mr. Tuitovena Hoot, the ingenious and celebrated author of Tack Killing no .harder, sod Pigeons and Crows. Public expectation is very great, and a crowded house is anticipated.

On Thursday evening there was a numerous Meet ing of the inhabitants of Greenwich to address the Queen, convened in the vestry-room, but on account of the crowded attendance, the Meeting was adjourned lo the National School-room adjoining, where the chair was taken by Mr. John Crick, acting church-warden. An was awed by Mr. P. Tetney, and seconded bt Mr. titles, expressive of the respect and admiration of the inhabitenta to her Majesty, and for the high and benevolent example which she showed them during her long residence among them, and hoping that she should he able to establish her innocence to the world. The Address was appointed to be carried to her Majesty by the Governors, Charch•wardens, and other Officers of the Parish in procession, when her Majesty's pleasure shall be known. After thanks had been voted to the Chairman, the Meeting broke up. The vicar of the Parish who bad been invited to take the chair, addressed a letter in reply to the invitation, which was read at the Meeting. In this letter he de clined attending, and assigne d as a reason the incom patibility of his religions functions with an attendance at any political discussions. The Queen will receive the Address of the Free holders of Middlesex at Brandenburgh House, on Tuesday next. at one o'clock—that of the Artisans at two o'clock—and that of the inhabitants of Hammer smith at three o'clock. The Address of " the Married Ladies of the Metro polis and its vicinity" will be received by her Majesty on Wednesday next at two o'clock, at the house of Lady Francis, in St. James's-square. Her Majesty will sleep at Lady Francis's house, St. Jaws's-square, on Tuesday night, and will go from thence daily to the House a Lords. A handsome carriage is building for her Majesty, which will be ready by the 17th, with elegant brass har ness for six horses. New liveries are also preparing for her Majesty's servants. Mr. - Alderman Wood left town yesterday morning for Braadenbriegh House. Her Majesty sent her private chariot for him, and he was accompanied by two other gentlemen. Preparations are made in the houses in Cotton-gar d a for the reception of 60 or 70 Italian witnesses. They were expected to arrive last night, or they will cane this day. They are to be conveyed to the place by *e river, and precautions art taken, by stationing of gin-boats, against all annoyance in their passage, awl to prevent all access to them after their arrival.— (Morning CAroitiele). It is stated to be the chief object of her Majesty's letter to the King to state her objections to the course of proceedings instituted against her, and particularly her objections to the House of Lords as a Tribunal, declaring that she would rather be tried by a Common Jury. We have not heard that an answer has yet been given to this representation. The letter is said to be written by the advice of Mr. Lusbington.— (/144). ft is whispered in the Ministerial circles, that it is probable the House of Lords will, on Tuesday next, at their meeting, adjourn for a week, to give time to the House of Commons to re-assemble on Monday sennight, lin hopes that Mr. Wilberforce may have some propo sition to m ke that may avoid the necessity of enter ing on the Bill of Pains and Penalties. In the mean time the arrangements in the House of Lords will be completed this day. A chair is to be placed for the Queen close to her Counsel, on the leg band of the passage to the Lords' seats, sear Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt's box, and an adjoining room is assigned for her to re tire to for coualtatioe, or when Counsel withdraw. Mr. Broughars, it is said, oitCes use attend the Um, ewer Assists. That geatieuma is expected la town to-day, to attend the Quota's stairs.
