THIS morning arrived Paris Papers to the 26th Instant. The Moniteur of the 25th, contains an Ordon nance of General LECLEitc, extraEled from the Of ficial Gazette of St. Domingo, by which that Island is declared to be in a state of Siege, and its Police placed in the hands of the Military. The Civil Administration of the Colony is to address itself to the General in Chief, whenever it conceives the in tervention of the Armed Force to be necessary, who will give orders accordingly, and the Sub-Prefeas are to address themselves, in like manner, to the Generals commanding Divisions. The Military are, however, prohibited from interfering with the Civil Administration of the Colony ; but the General: are at the same time to render an account to the Commander in Chief, of all abuses of Administra tion, which they remark within the limits of their respeCtive Commands. It is stated in the same Paper, under the Pari3 head, that some bands of Negroes had risen in in surredion in St. Domingo after the arrest of To us- SAINT, but that they had been dispersed, and ren dered the objects of a severe justice. It is also stated, that an epidemic disease prevails in the bland, to which several Generals and others had fallen viairrts, and that the same malady prevailed with equal malignity at the Ila , vannah and at ..,7a nzaica. We think it necessary to remark, that no account whatever has been received in this Country of any epidemic disease prevailing at Jamaica. — General LECLERC had, it appears, received a rein force of three thousand men, in order to repair the less occasioned amongst his troops by sickness. It appears that TOUSSAINT has arrived at Paris, and is safely lodged in the Temple. The Senate of the Helvetic Republic has decreed an entire and complete Amnesty in favour of those who participated in the troubles which took place during the last Winter in the Canton of Zurich. The Five per Cents. were, on the 24th, at 5 t. 30. THE Haft bU rgh ilitail due on Wednesday arrived this morning. It is stated in an Article from Strasburgh, ,that six Ships of the Line have received orders to sail from different Harbours to foxlom, and from thence to Algiers, for the purpose of demanding satisfa&ion for the Insult offered to the French Flag, and the infraaion of the last Treaty of peace. The Envoy charged with this commission is Citizen HULLIN, who is the bearer of a letter conceived in very menacing and hostile terms. Baron STURMEP. was to set out on the r eth inst. from Vienna for Constantinople, where he is to re side as Imperial Internuncio. The QUEEN of NAPLES arrived at Trieste on the 3d inst. and after having an interview with her Sister, the ARCHDUCHESS ELIZABETH, proceeded on her voyage to Naples. Wednesday morning Earl ST. VINCENT and the Lords of the Admiralty and Commissioners of tl , e Navy, visited the Dock-yard at Plymouth. At eleven o'clock, A. M. the Board of Admiralty and Navy Board went afloat in the Admiral's barge, with the Flag of the Admiralty flying in the stern sheets.— The Commissioners of the two Boards then went on board the Centaur, of 74 guns, Rear-Admiral DACRES, in Hamoaze ; on which the Admiralty Flag was hoisted at the main, when the whole Fleet manned ship. The Commissioners of the Admi ralty and Navy Board went again in their barge, and landed at the North Stairs Dock-yard, and proceeded to visit Commissioner FANSH A W E. — Thursday the two Boards meant to proceed up the Tamer, to inspea the numerous ships in ordinary. It is supposed they will have business enough to occupy their serious attention for ten days. On Wednesday last, according to annual custom, the Guards changed their respeaive quarters, and are now stationed as follows: First Regiment, First Battalion in Portman-street Barracks ; Second Bat talion are doing duty at Weymouth; Third Sat talion in the Tower.—Coldstream Regimen:, First Battalion in Knightsbridge Barracks ; second Bat talion at Windsor.—Third Regiment, First Batta lion in quar:ets in Westminster and its environsl Second Batt alien in quarters in the Borough and parts adjacent, where they are to remain till or de rs are sent for their march to Winchester, which they shor:ly expea. Each Battalion now has its respec ti,e Flank Companies. By a decision on Thursday, in the Court of Con science, it appears that ;23. 63. is the legal charge for a chaise and pit from Piccadilly to Hounslow. The drive: had dconied:d 3 553 NEWS.

Irish Annuities The Right Hon. the Earl of `.:GREMONT, accom panied by his brother, the Hon. Mr. WINDHAM, and the Rev. Mr. BENSON, visited Whitehaven on Tuesday se'nnight. After viewing the harbour, &c. they descended into the coal-works, where they remained for some time, and returned in the evening to Cockermouth Castle. On Thursday morning his Lordship left Cockermouth for Rose Castle, on his way to Scotland : and Mr. W IND_ HAM set off about the same rime for York. It is said that his Lordship is particularly delighted with the situation of Cockermouth Castle, and has given orders for repairing some parts of that an_ cient and noble edifice ; which, for so many ages was the seat of splendor and magnificence. Posting is now pretty generally reduced to a Shil ling per mile. At some particular places, however, the Innkeepers have still the impudence to exact Feurteen-peEce. On Thursday, at four o'clock, the State Lottery finished drawing, when two Tickets remained in the Wrheel after all the Prizes were drawn. The Wheels were yesterday, about one o'clock, conveyed on four sledges from Fetter-lane to Somerset-house, escorted by a party of Soldiers. As the wind has been perfealy fair, the Dutch Troops which embarked the other day at Lyming_ ton, are probably by this time landed at the Helder. The Frigates that carried them return immediately to Spithead. The French Princes are enjoying the pleasures of grouse-shooting at Blair in AthGl, from whence they proceed to Gordon Castle, on a visit to the Duke of GORDON. -- We do not think it probable that General LAsNEs will find his precipitate condua much approved of at the Thuilleries. It can hardly be the policy, as we are certain it is not the interest of France, to plunge Europe again into a state of Warfare. The Church of the ci-devant Sainte Chapelle at Dijon is about to be demolished. It is a fine piece of Gothic ArchiteCture, and was founded by HUGH 111. in 1172, who, according to the taste of the times, went to take a part in the Wars of Palestine. Encountering a violent tempest when at sea, by which he waF in &Inger of being shipwrecked, he male a vow, that if ht escaped, he would ered a Temple to the Virgin. He returned to Dijon, and built, near his Palace, the Church alluded to, which became the Parish Church of the Dukes of BURGUND:. It was the seat of the College and Chapter of the Order of the Golden Fleece, insti tuted by PHILIP the Gl - .01). We are not much surprized that the French Wri ters should abuse our B e ef-diet, when we recoiled that it invigorates rot only the Peal, but the 4 ., :v,1rd of our Countryaru, The General, alarmed for the health of his Wife, has employed in vain every means to persuade her to return to France, but she declares that whilst the Epidemic Disorder prevails, and her Husband is exposed to its at tacks, she will not abandon him. TOUS.SAINT LOUVERTURE is arrived at Paris, escorted by a numerous detachment of Dragoons. He is at present in the Temple. The First Consul wishes that all his Tro'.?ps should swim, both Infantry and Cavalry. In consequence of which, since the commencement of the season, the Master Swimmers of the School for Swimming, have given lessons in that art to the Soldiers.— Every precaution that art can suggest, has been taken to ensure the safety of the men. But unfor. tunately the learners are not always able to manage their horses, so that scarce a day passes without some of the men being drowned. The day before yesterday there were two, and yesterday there three drowned. It is said, that on the 23d September a large body of Troops will swim across the Seine in the presence of the First Consul, in order of battle, with their baggage, &c. VIENNA, AUG. I.—Several Regiments have received orders from the Council of War to hold themselves in readiness to march. A very consi derable Train of Artillery is also ordered to be in readiness. Major-General STRAUCH is to have the command of the Troops destined to take pos session of the Countries which are to form the In dernuities of Austria. Their IMPERIAL MAJESTIES are at present at Bagel. The health of the ARCHDUKE CHARLES is completely re-established: he hunted on the 7th, and the day before yesterday he attended at the Grand Parade.

" '&7,lo:at - ter: at the Cape, Yttiy r, 1802. " THE Colony of Saint Domingo is in a state.tf Siege. The direction of the Police belongs to the Military. " The Administration of the Colony is charged with the raising of Imposts, to provide for the support of the Troops in the Colony by Land and Sea. In this state of things, the Administration will frequently find itself obliged to have re course to the Military Authority. In consequence, when ever the Colonial Prefeet shall want the intervention of the Armed Force, he shall address himself to the General in Chief, who will give orders conformable to his request. " Whenever a Sub-Prefeel of Department shall want the intervention of the Armed Force, he shall address himself to the General Commandant of Division, who will assist him with all his power. " The Colonial Prefeet and the Sub-PrefeEts of the De partment, have the ilea of requiring the aid of the Com mandants of the place, and the Gendarmerie, whenever they shall judge it necessary for the execution of measures which they may have taken, or to enable thinn to exercise those functions which were conferred on them by my Arrete of the lath of June. The Colonial Prefefl and the Sub-PrefeEts of thc De— partment, being the Chiefs of the Administration of the Colony, and therefore alone responsible for that Adminis tration, the Armed Force is prohibited from intermeddling with the Administration of the Colony. Nevertheless, the Generals are bound to render an account to the General in Chief, of all the abuses of Administration which they re— mark within the limits of their Command. " The present Ordonnance shall be printed, published, and posted up. " The General in Chief, Captain General, " LECLERC. " By the Captain General, " The Secretary General, " Lzuotre." General 'AEC t, F R c was residing on the 4th of July at the Marne of the Cape, where the stir is more salubrious. He enjoys good health, and occupies himself without ceasing in the organization of that immense Colony, studying to overcome every ob. stacle. 'The constancy, the aelivity, and the ta lents which are displayed in his condv.a, are worthy of the approbation and eulogium of Government. After the Arrest of TOUSSAINT, several Bands of Negroes were in a state of insurrection, but they were dispersed, and made the visiims of severe justice. The General has already purged the Co lony of a great number of bad subjeas. The South and the West are in part disarmed, and on the 9th of July the disarming was to begin to operate in the Northern part. General THoLost:, the Adjutant Commandant and the Chef tie Brigade NIAusERT, are dead of the disease which prevails at the Cape, and which this year appears general throughout the Antilles. There never existed in the memory of man, a more dangerous disease at St. Domingo, It prevails. not only at St. Domingo, but also at :la ma;ca and the Haim/mai?, with great malignity, General LE cLzRc received in the course of July a reinforcement of three thousand men, which were necessary to repair the losses occasioned by sick- ness. which, including the Capital, was, according to the Convention of the 4.. th of June, to form part of the Indemnities of the ELECTOR PALATINE. But on the other hand, the Court of Vienna claims the N.vholc of the Bishopric for the GRAND DUKE Of TUSCANY. The Bavarian General BARTELS, who has within these few days assembled a body of 3000 men at Vilsholfeil, marched on the Toth to take possession of the City of Passau. He had scarcely marched half a league, when he received intelligence that a large Corps of Austrians were placed at Gadern, and that the Austrian General had received orders not to suffer the Bavarian Troops to pass, which they must: necessarily do to arrive at the City ofßassenu. Upon the receipt of the intelligence, General BARTELS went immediately to Gadern, where he had a long conference with the Austrian General, who com municated to him the nature of his instruEtions. lie was informed at the same time, that an order had arrived from Vienna, stating that the Bishopric of Passau should not be taken possession of until its, fate had been settled in a Constitutional way by thy.: EMPEROR and the Empire. in order to avoid the cf. fusion of blood, it was verbally agreed upon between the two Commanders, that neither Party should °con., py the City of until further orders were re ceived. Gen. BARTE !.S immediately dispatched his: first Aid-de-Camp to Illuplich, with an account of affair. General BARTELS has since received a rein forcement of six Bavarian Regiments, and on the, other hand, the Austrian Forces have been very considerably reinforced..—lt is reported, that in consequence of the express representations of the French Government, and of Russia and Prussia, the; Court of Vienna has determined no longer to oppos(.! the execution of the Convention of the 4th June.
