T-T T U N. - - SOLEM Q UIS D-1-CIAJLE FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, FEBRUARY 9, x Izoz. ACCOUNTS, we understand, have been received in town, of the arrival at St. Domingo of Three Sail of the French Fleet.—The Troops on board, it is added, were well received by TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE, and were immediately landed, and accommodated in Barracks previously prepared for their reception. The Island was in a state of tranquillity, with the exception of some skirmishes which had taken place between the French 'and Spaniards, the latter refusing to cede their part of the Island. AN Evening Paper of last night (The Star) stated in very peremptory language, that the De finitive Treaty had been concluded a week ago.— This information, we live good grounds for be Hering, is given at randon, and without any kind of authority.—Government, we know, have re ceived no such intelligence; and had that event taken place, no reason surely could exist for such a delay in the communication of it from France, and its immediate promulgation in this Country. While • we condemn others for rash and unfounded asser tions, we ought not to fall into the same error ourselves ; we - shall not therefore say more than we have already stated, viz. that we believe things go on very well .at Amient, and that we may reasona bly hope the business there draws pretty near to a conclusiot), The ROYAL FAMI LY came to Town this day from Windsor. fIis:II4.A.JE3TY will hold a Levee at St. James's Palace to.morrow. Yesterday Lord CF: ESTE RIIIE LD had a convivial dinner party at his house in Stanhope street, at which were present the PRINCE of:WALES, and se- veral of the most distinguished Amateurs.

On Wednesday last the Right Hon, HENRY DuN DAs paid a visit to the Lord Provost and Magi strates of Edinburgh,. at their Council. Chamber; and on Saturday last Mr. DUNUAS was to give them grand Entertainment, at the King's Arms Tavern. The Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury have ordered One Thousand Pounds sterling to be granted to the Lord Provost, 'Magistrates, and Council of Edin burgh, to be given in premiums for the encou ragement of the White Fishery on the Coast of Scot land.

Thirtv-six . ships, we understand, are fitting out at Hull for the Greenland and Davis's Straits fisheries in the enajing season, two of _which are valued at to,oool. each. . . The French Government will of course be much clissati,Eed at the Convention which has taken place between GR EAT BRITAIN and the OTTOMAN PORTE, by which the English are admitted to ex clusive privileges in their trade to the Levant. But though the French Government may repine, it has no reason to complain, for it would be strange indeed if the Poi-ri should allow the same com mercial advantages to those who attempted to destroy it as to those who have preserved it. The Earl of UxaRiDGE has caused a distribution of Meat and Flour to be made to upwards of 650 poor people, men, women, and children, Of several Parishes in tilt neighbourhood of Plasnewydd, in Anglesea: Near a hucidted workmen .and labourers, and twenty poor children who are educated under the diredion, and at the expence, of Lady Ux.

Whether this unfortunate traiies man descends ftom the celebrated Edmonton hero. we know not, but for the sake of his name, and the honour of• poetry and humour, we hope his creditors will set-him safely again on his legs. The conditions of the wager made by a Gentle, man (not Mr. SHAW, as mentioned) to ride against'- . time, have not been::correaly7. stated in the PuVic Prints. He has urxlettaken to go on horseback from London to Barton Water-side, in Lincoln, shire, a distance of 17 t miles, in twelve (and: not fourteen) successive hours. The bet is to be decided . some time in the next month. The Gentlemen of the Monson Hunt accommodate him with their studs ; and although he rides 15 stone, yet his wind and nerve are so . highly thought of; that the odds 'run considerably in hts , favour. He is to start froth the Gray's Inn Coirc;..-house, and proceed by the Stil ton road, COURT OP CHANCERY, F .

I ) 4usstA not having been able to come to an amicable understanding with Austria, with regard to the Indemnities to which each of them formed pretensions, is at present extremely discontented with the accommodations which -have taken place on that subje4 between France and the Court of Vienna, especially as the proje'ts of these two Courts can be• in no .respeas advantageous to her interests. On this account the Court of Berlin en deavoms more and more to form a close alliance with Russia, in order to prevent theTefFelis of this plan of Indemnities. The rest of the Continent awaits the result, and submits with patience to its fate, A man on horsebaCk lately appeared at Steinbeck, a village of Holstein, four miles from Hamburgh, .and proceeded to an inn, the proprietor of which was reputed rich : he ordered supper ;, his hostess divided het,'S with him, and he desired her to bring him some pepper, While she ryas. absent in search of what he required, a child observed him shake some powder over the plate its mother was to eat out of, and immediately went and informed the mother of the circumstance. She conceiving it ex traordinary, procured .the absence of the stranger, by telling him his horse had got loose: On his return she presented-him the plate intended for her self, and he eat the contents without the least SUS piciot;—he soon after fell down lifeless, and upon searching him a quantity of arsenie.was found in his pdcketi and a pistol. The- pistol was discharged out of The window, and three robbers approached, who were seized and conducted to Pinneberg-. There is a man in the poor-house . at Tavistock, who has lately been seized, six different nights, with apparent deadness, and in every resped exally the same as a lifeless corpse, perfedly cold and sriff,, so that if moved, the head, neck, and whole .frame arc as a firm clod, or wooden. image; he has a con. stant presentiment, by a dream, when this trance, or suspended animation, will seize him. On Saturday, a fellow who pretended to be deaf and, dumb, and who had in the course of a week re alized 501: at Leicester by fortune-telling, was pub licly whipped at that place. During his trial, and previous to his punishment, he concluded himself with great art and hypocritical consistency; but when the cat-o-nine-tails came on his back, he could speak and hear as well as any of the spedaiors. It appears la e had been a soldier in the 25th regi ment, and discharged in consequence of having been wounded at Grenada ; and that on returning to his friends in Yorkshire, he was met on the' road by a woman who pradised the profession of fortune telling, and prevailed on him to join her; but -on his coinmitment, she decamped with their joint earnings. . Hatiour landed Proprietory embraced, : under an early operation of the Land-Tax Redemption Bill, that most advantageous moment for purchasing, when the 3 per Cents, were at 47 and a fradion; they might ihave redeemed their Land-tax at less than : sixteen years purchase. That golden oppor tunity was let slip by the great majority of the Land Owners ; yet to such is presented at this in stant (as the term of redemption is to be extended), notwithstanding the 3 per Cents. now border on 7,0). - a still more easy and auspicious means for ex * Tilting their Estates from the above, as well as ,ever: other incumbrance. The suggestion is, the adveituring in the all-inviting and approaching Grand Lottery. One or More Tickets or Shares Might not only redeem the Land -tax, but become a sunshine of good fortune to many an estate invisled in gloom. Suceest, however, may be rendered more probable, from the purchase of such Tickets and Shares at Pori's " 'fortunate Office,". Royal Exchange, close by the Bank of England, distin. guiAled for prosperous adventure, and for payment of Prizes on demand.
