PASTS, MAT 12. The following publication of the Prefe(ts of Po- Ike has been posted up in all public places "1. All persons who were involved in the civil wars in the IVestern Departments, and .0 their pacification received their amnesty, and who at present reside either at Paris, or in the several communes of the Department of the Seine, or in the communes of Sevres, Meudon, and St. Cloud, or in the Depart ment of Seine and Oise, are ordered to present them selves at the Sec. General's office of the prefecture of the police, to make their declaration and exhibit their efts of 'amnesty, passes, cards of safety, or permis sions to reside in France. 2. Their declarations are to contain their names, Christian names, their places of residence before and after the revolution ; the places where they have, or had any property; the motives to their present residence, or the object and causes which have brought them to Paris, to the communes of the department of the Seine, and to those of Sevres, Maudon, and St. Cloud. 3. .The above-meutioned individuals continue to re main under the particular inspection of the police agents, and are not permitted to change their lodg ings without the written permission of the prefect of the police, under pain of being arrested as nupOicd, or traatnerted as inesdpated with the conspirators,. 4. The office destined to receive these declarations, will be open from nine o'clock in the morning till four o'clock in the afternoon, and from six o'clock till nine at night. 5. This regulation is to be im mediately published in all the communes, under the jurisdiction of the prefect of the police. The sub prefees of St. Denis and of Sceaux, die police com missaries and officers of peace at Paris, and the mayors of the rural communes, are ordered to pub lish the present regulation immediately, and within twenty-four hours inform the prefect of the police of their obedience." A Intel rom Baltimore, contains the following particulars from St. Domingo Since the bri gand Des alines has usurped the authority at St. Domingo, nothing has happened which does not eontribute to augment the disasters of that wretched colony, plunged in troubles and confusi o n, hy want i f adherence to the "taker country. The court and the council of Dessalines are composed, in a great part, of those brigands and intriguers, who have assisted in, or contributed to, all the fatal catastrophes of which St. Domingo has been the theatre for these last twelve years. They are wally Frenchmen from Europe, who arrived in the colony with no other fortune than their talents for intrigue, and without any other objet than to enrich themselves by every means offered to their cupidity. They have, therefore, attached themselves to every per son whe becomes popular, and succe ss ively to all the chiefs of different parties. It is in this manner, that these cowardly Frenchmen have cajoled vile slaves, and sold their pens and councils to brigands, covered with blood and plunder. It is in conse of the speculation of these wret c h, s , t h at Dessalines is surrounded by white Europeans, who do not blush to be his ministers, secretaries. satel lites, creatures, and to make common cause with the antropophagi from Africa, against their own countrymen. These men are, thereiore, certainly more culpable than the negroes of St. Domingo. Not withstanding all this, those men are not only remelted, but grown immensely rich; and cnnti slue almost daily to send money, or transpoit their property to the Continent of At•ierica. S.tveral rich houses at New York, Norlilk, and have g reat sun.* belonging to them. Would is not be just of our Government to seize upon these riches r '...(Jservol de Commerce.) HAMBURGH MAIL. NACI.M. MAY 8. The French Minister Berthier is returned by way Of Bois le Duc to France. Letters from the Cape of Good /lope say, that the squadrons of Admirals Hartsinck and Linois are united together, and are in search of the English Beet, in their expedition to Ceylon. Every person wbo leaves our republic is obligri to give security for paying his share of our intraense contributions. According to some sports, Bonaparte is to be crowned at Lyons ; others say that this ceremony will take place at Aiz•la-Chapelle. RATICION. MAY 7. The Russian Minister brre, Von Klupfell, has relented for the perusal of the Diet, to Baron JUbini, the following written CONI:TANTINOPt P, APRIL The diferences between the rebels in Egypt have been very advantageous to the Porte. A Lieute. nant of Elfi Bey has had an engagement with the other Beys whO were at Cairo, in which he and his partisans lost their lives. Elfi Hey himself was obliged to return to Upper Egypt. A still greater engagement has taken place be tween the Arnauts, with 6030 Albanese, and the other Mamelukes, with whom they lately made a common cause. On the 14th March, an altion was fought. in which Ibrahim Dey and most of the other Beys were killed, and all the Mamelukes ei ther dispersed or made prisoners. The late reports from Egypt say, that a corps of Sepoys in the Englisb service was expe&ed at Suez, and that an English squadron was before Alexan dria, of which the English had not yet taken pos session. VENICE, MAY 2. The common conversation here is an intended journey of the Pope to France. ►ROM THE M%lNt, MAY 9.

VILNPIA, MAY 5. The late English Minister at Stutgardt, Spencer Smith, is arrived at Baden from SAltzburgh. The day before yestex day, an Oilicer of the French Consular Guard arrived here with dispatches con cerning Bonaparte's intended Imperial Dignity, and with a projea on this subjea. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, M*v 2S. We have uniformly asserted, since the first report of that most foul and atrocious murder, that the blood of the Duke D'Erionitti has not flowed in vain. While an Evening Print had the audacity to say, that the innocent and injured Eledor of BADLN was an accomplice in that crime; while a Morning Print, the apologist of the crimes of the revolution, called that wicked anti unparalleled out rage upon the laws of nations and humanity, by the light and frivolous title of bravado ;" we have uniformly supported the innocence of the Eleaor of BADEN, and described the murder as an adt which every legitimate Pat KCE in Europe must resent, or lay his neck under the foot of the merciless and frantic Despot, who now tyrannises over the French nation. • The Flamburgh Mail , which arrived yes terday, confirms not only the MASS if private intel ligence upon ehis subjed, which this paper has creisui.idy contained, te7t tlso onr most sanguine hopes and distara spi.e lationt. The virtuous, ho. nourable, and npright Emperor of Rt -• ta, in an official note cf the 7th instant, to ti Diet of Ra tisben, declares not only his ir. .1 ihorrence of the violation of the Coe- •••••.t Lai, :re, :tns the murder that followed, but s. as itrnn all the P.. 7- ,311 of Europe, in their capacity if Menthe: s •• r.• German Laapire, t., make common cause •••..• I him in restraining, _:•orrnities. T•• till c information we can add the testimony ii• Letter from Vienna, of the Gth instant, v. • ales that the Court had put on mournirr t' e Duke of ENCOHI EN, whose murder had 7 • all re maining difficulties between the two I • - :'oorts, and that a treaty was on the eve of b•ir,- t oted for the purpose of restraining the aggrieetions of go. A r 4 are. The following are the words of our Cor respondent upon that subjea :—‘t The Treaty of De fensive Alliance just concluded between Russia ant Denmark is only the presage of one upon a much larger scale, and such as, at the present crisis, appears indispensibly necessary forthe tranquillity of Europe, and the relief of tortured Numanity. It is confidently believed, that the same understanding extends to the cabinets of Vienna and Berlin, in which cat that of London cannot fail to participate." This opinion is strongly supported by the condua of the Court of Berlin, which has ordered its troops in Westphalia to be reinforced with 30,000 men, exclusive of a corps of 20,000 Hessians, who are ready to march at a moment's notice. In every part cf Germany war is cnnsidered inevitable ; and, at the date of our Correspondent's letter, it was known at Vienna, that several French corps, as well from the Interior as from the coast, had approached the Lower Rhine. Another letter from a Russian General at St. Petersburgh, dated 25th of April, says, " Count Woeonzor r, our Minister at the Coact of London, is recalled to fill a place in our Ministry. 'l'is next Comer 6 nm England is ca peaed to bring an answer, which will let imme diately followed by a declaratinn of war ag nns:. Fiasco; a war which, it is thought, will be more ge neral, and conduned upon more liberal is:Maple., than any war since the Revolution. Loci'. the XVI I lth will be acknowledged Ki:.g of I'r..nce by all the members of the Coalition, and ad con quests hut in hi, name will be remit:need. M 7 c.tmp equi;tage is ready, and I hope soon tit take the fi :Id." It is even ranionred i•I ric cir cles, that a Treaty between this country a..: :L•ss'a was signed on Mtn lay, and teat one of our Messengers was to have been sent off last ni g h, with a Russian Courier, to St. Peteisburgh. Some measure against the usurpation of BONAPARTE is certainly upon the Lapis, as it is well known that on Sunday last, the first day on which the Prince of CON DE held a levee, since the murder of his grand son, he was waited upon by the RLssi•tv Ast BASSA DOR, and, after half an hour's conversation, the PENCE returned to the Assembly, w ith an air of satisfaetion, and said to the persons around him, " I may yet live to see a KING re-establidied in France ; though, for myself, the utmost I can hope is, to terminate an unhappy existence upon the ruins of my palace, with the melancholy idea, that my name cannot long survive me." The differences between the Arnauts and Mame Jukes in Egypt have produced a change favourable to the Porte. But rebels for rebels, the viaors are equally dangerous to its traniuillity as the van quished. We have also received French papers to the 16th. In debased and degraded France, the meanness of the people is only surpassed by the impudence of their tyrant. While our contemporaries gave out that General BIRTHIER went to the coast to inspea the military preparations, we erelusiecig stated, as now appears to have been the fact, that the real ob object of his visit was to procure addresses from the army, in favour of the new charge of Government. These addresses begin to come in, and form, with the discussions of that question, the principal con- tents of the French papers. The Munitenr of the 14th contains an account of the capture of an English corvette and lugger in the neighbourhood of Quiberon. The TI IteeNjO sloop of war is one of the vessels taken. The French fends continue to advance. They were, on the 15th, at sgf. Doc. The Gazette of last night contains a letter from Sir SIDNEY Siarru, giving au account of his late engagement with a flotilla of gun-boats, upon their passage from Flushin: to Ostend. The loss of this enemy, as far as it has been ascertained, is below common report. It amounts only to one gun-boat taken, and four sunk. A great many others were driven on shore; but from the shallowness of the water, there is every reason to fear that they have been since hauled cut of the reach of farther in jury. Sir SIDNEY SMITH says, he should have been more successful, had he bad a description of vessels that draw less water. This is a radical defed, and ought to be correded. A Gentleman who left Ilatterdam on Saturday, has favoured us with a paper printed at that place, on that day. It is the latest foreign intelligence in town, but the Note of the Emperor of Roasts, a note that does that Prince immortal honour, and is worth a volume of ordinary news, is the only article its contents of any importance. We and:l-s' :nd a paper has been signed by se veroy•four Peers, pledging themselves to use every exertion to cbtain an Administration such as the conntry was crught to exp:Et when a change first became the subjea of public co:lversAtion.
