THE Moniteur of the 28th instant reached us this morning,. It contains long Extraels from the Of cid Gazette of St. Demingo, a Paper which General LECLERC has established,in that Colony. The first of these Extrths, which is from the first Number of that Paper, is a Prociamation relative to its Esta blishment. It is to contain all the Decrees and Orders of the General in Chief respeaing St. Donzi. , !go,French and foreign news, the movements and arrivals in the Ports, the price of provisions, &c. and the Orders printed in it, are to be obeyed as if they had teen specially sent by the competent Autho rities. The second Article in the above Paper con tains the Order of Incorporation of the Colonial with the French Troops. A Proclamation by General LEC&,ERC, to the Inhabitants of St. Da Bingo, which we have taken at length, relates to the arrest and transportation of ToussArsiT from the colony to France. The proofs of Tauss.arNT's Conspiracy are there enumerated, and a Letter, said to be written by him to a Citizen FONTAINE, is subjoined to the Proclamation. It sip appears from the Proclamation, that some of the Blacks are still in arm.;, though assurances have been so re peatedly given of the perfeo tranquillity of the Colony. We cannot ye: forego our belief, that a Maroon War, which m:c . a , last for years, is carried en in St. .1...:111;),IgO, though in the French accounts all mention of it is so carefully suppressed. By an Article from the He.' , iue, we learn that the Government was about to coavolce tlie Legislative Body on the ad of August, far the purpose, it was supposed, of passing an Amnesty for all Political Crimes, This becomes the traare necessary, as a great pruortion of the Baravian ,Emigrants, who Lad been in- the service of England, had re turned to their native Country in despite of the ri gorous laws existing against them, which, it is ob served, if put in execution, would only deprive the State of a number of 'useful and valuable Luizens, no longer dangerous to its tcanquil.. lity. Another cause for the assembling the Le, gislative B )dy, is stated to be a. demand made by the Portuguese Agent, to raise at Amsterdam a 1. ,- )an c f Twenty-fimr Millions for his Court, for discharging- the Debt conmEled by its last Treaty with France ; and a recent LIW passed in Holland. Freye,,ts the Merchants from lending money to any Foreign Power, without the consent of the govern, meta. An article ft 3:n Rat;shon, of the t Bth instant, gives us reason to sttpprose that the darkness which has hitherto enveloped the grand subject of the In . demnities, is ab . ut, to be dissipated. An Extraor dinary Deputation of the Empire is about to be irn.. rnediately'assernbled •at Rvisbrm,. Baron Hue E L, it is will preside at it, as Imperial Commis oioner ; M. D 8 SCHRANT will be the Minister from Bohemia, and M. de NORMANDT . from Wurtei . rzh4rg, The other Ministers had not been announced. — I t w as supposed chat this measure of the Court of Vienna would be tic means of suspeotling` tie oc cupation. of the Indemnities aw'arded to ?,..rsia, p actin ria and for which the Troops, of those Pow( ri were already in motion. France, 1-/eivet;a, and the ftedia'n :Republic., are to guarantee the Republic of the Valais, which is to be under the protection of these three States. The Minister, we understand, has given the 'Sinecure Place of •Clerk of the Fells to .his eldest son, a yOnng Qethienian of about sixteen years of age. He was swo:-n in at the Exchequer on Tues., cifiy last.. It is understood that Nilr PITT would tot have accepted it, had it been offered to him. Major General the.

THE Countess of Sutherland, Country Ship, for Bengal, arrived this morning in the Downs from the River, and remains, with the Caledonia, fur ditto, and a large Fleet outward-bound. A Letter from Captain SIMKINS, of the Ship Gar_ land, belonging to Poole, bound on a voyage from Newfoundland to Leghorn, to BENJAMIN LESTER, and Co.

It being calm, I sent a boat with fcur hands to examine her, who, in striving to get something out olthe cabin, th roug h the skylight, found a human body very much dis. figured, and part of a trunk, with an English Ofli. cer's short regimental coat, with an epaulette, and the copies of some letters from the father, brother, and sisters of Captain GEORGE PATTERSON, of the sixth West India Regiment, dated in the year 1799, from Dean -street, in London. His father's name is DANIEL PATTERSON, and I believe is in the Horse • Guards. The wreck must, I think, have been on her passage from the West Indies, as her cargo was chiefly cotton, some of which was working trirough her hatchways." WEYMOUTH, JULY 29.

We have been favoured with a more eorreft Statement of the circumstances respeEtiAg th,e Good Intent Mill, than what appeared in our Paper of Thursday. , The tags ,are; that on the z7th of July, 18ot, a - number-0' persons formed themselves into a So. ciety under an agreement to purehase'a small piece of ground, whereon to erect a Mill for grinding Corn for the purpose of supplying the Subscribers with Bread and Flour, at their own houses at prim cost; in consequence of which a piece of ground was some time after found suitable for the purpose, and on the i 3th day of 06ober't8ot, (not before,) an agreement was entered into between the owner of the ground, which is considerably less than a quarter of an acre, and a part of the •Society, that the Owner should, on being paid, .a security being given to his satisfa6lion for payment of 3601. con vey the premises to certain persons on the part of the Society. In consequence of this agreement, made on the t 3th Odober last, the Society was suffered to take possession—the Mill is not yet completed, nor has any profit ever been derived from it, not has any conveyance yet been executed—notwithstanding which, we understand, that between three and four hundrki persons have sworn they have been in pos session, twelVe calendar months, and that they have •Freeholds 'in it of the clear annual value of Forty Shillings, and have- voted for Sir FRANCIS BUR DETT, and most of them for Mr. 13VNG. This Mill, (appears, by private agreement between the Su b.. scribers, is to be divided into one thou , and and two shares, at two guineas each, and every Sharer claims a eight of voting fOr the county - of Middlesex.

In another Letter, addressed to Citizen FONTAINE, he loads General - Cliß I STOPHE with inveetive, and complains 'that General IDESS ALINES had abandoned him. He had prohibited SYLLA from laying down hiS arms, and forbid the Cultivators to labour in any other Plantations than those adapted to their own subsistence. He had sent one of his accomplices to General DESSA- LtNES, to engage him to break his good faith. General S SALINES declared it ro me. He relied much at St. Marc, on MANISSET. tie is ar. rested. I have proceeded with severity against this great Crimi nal ; and I order the Generals of Division of the Army, to compel by force all the Cultivators who are yet in arms in the mountains, to return. The Cultivators are not so culpable as those who lead • them astray. In consequence, every Commandant of the National Guard, every Officer, every Manager or Proprietor, who shall be found assembled In Arms, shall be immediately shot. As to the Commune of Emery, I order it to be disarmed immediately, for having been so tardy M submitting. Gen. EAU Ny.T will see this Order executed.

The General of Division, Chief of the Etat Major of the Army, DuGuA. RATISBON, JULY 18.—At length the c:oud spread around the great business of the Indemnities is dissipated. The EMPEROR has convoked the Extraordinary Peputation of the Empire, by a De. cree addressed to the States composing it : it will assemble immediately at Ratisbon. The Ba 7 ror i d e ANGEL will preside the quality ok . Imperial Commissary; M. de ScaR.A.NT will attend as Minister of Bohemia, and M. de NORMANN' as Minister of Wurtemberg. The other Ministers who arc to make part of it, are riot yet known-- It is probabie that this step of the Court of Vienna will suspend the occupation of the Countries allot ted as Indemnities to Prussia, Bavaria, &c. &c. for which the Troops of those Powers are already in motion, HAGUE, Pair . 20.---Government has given di. redions for the assembling of the Legislative Body on the zd August. It is supposed that this extra. ordinary measure has been adopted partly from the 'necessity of granting a general Amnesty for all po litical offences, and partly to authorize the raising of a Loan of 24 Millions, which the Court of Portugal wishes to negotiate at Amsterdam, in order to com plete the engagements it entered into with France by the last Treaty. Nd Loan,for a Foreign - Power can be negotiated in the Batavian Republic, without the con. sent of Governmeni. Many of the Dutch Emigrants who had been in the service of England are return. ing home, notwithlitancling the severe Laws made against them ; but as they are useful Citiyens, and are now no longer dangerop, it is thought they will be included in the Amnesty.—The new Bank of Amsterdam will open on the 3oth inst. ffadjeld, the maniac, who attempted His iVia jesty's life in Drury-Lane Theatre, and lately made his escape from sedlam, was yesterday morn.. ing ,takentiv - an Officer from linw-street, at a Pub inbeal, and has heen conveyed back again to his old quarters. it was stated in all the Jacobin Prints of yestel_ day that an illumination took place, in consequence of Sir FRANC is BURDETT'S return, in the Strand, and several of the principal streets of Westminster. A greater Falsehood certainly never disgraced the public press, as no symptoms of iiht mineitinn was visible, with the exception of two 'or three candles in one or two houses of marked and detested. Jacobins, JrAT2 r4iAnzf.' StiERID;IN, in the Course of 3 very liturent ous speech which lae made, a short rime previous is the dissolution of the last Parliament, stated that there were at that time in the House of C0121111(MS, either eleven or thirteen different Parties,. He would have been puzzled to have enumerated them, unless in" deed he recktined as distina,Parties, persons difEer .ing.upou certain political questions, but aaing to gether upon a ll t h os e- great an d l ea di ng points 'upon which the general welfare of the Empire is sup posed to rest. The distina . and avowed Parties which presented themselves at the close of the last Parliament, and which will again appear at the opening of the next, are, first, the Party of Mr. ADDINcToN and Mr. PI ; SeCOntil V, that of the OW - Opporitiim, including the Jacobins-, and, third' ly, that of the Nerw- Oppositianc As to the.first. we consider Mr, PITT and Mr, ADurNoToti as entirely and completely united.-' - That some of the friends of each have attempted repeatedly to disunite them, and that both the Old ancl - Areiv alicrition have never ceased to make that attempt, we know full well ; but the Honour, the Public. Spirit, and the good Sense of both have de feated every such attempt, The second Parry consists of the Old Opporitio, including the Jacobins. Mr. SH ER DAN perhaps separated them *hen he multiplied his Parties to thirteen ; hut upon the most minute examination/ we knoW not where to draw the line, though we could admit that there may be to be found, ewes among the Old Opposition, one or two persons zo slightly tinaured -with got9binisrn, as scarcely to deserve the name of Jacobins—ln all Countrief where mischief has prevailed, there always are a certain number of persons who, with good inten tions, are very conducive to the worst purposes Snth menzre - Tatherrio be pitied for Folly, than cell surtd for Wickedness, The third description of peisons, who, more from their talents than their numbers, deserve to be reckoned as a Party, arc the opponents of the Peace. The general manners - and conduft of some of those who compose this Party seem to us as little likely ever to raise them into consequence and numbers, as the cause in which they are engaged. They ai).- pen- to have considered War as the best state for the Coontry, without considering the means we possessed for prosecuting it ; and forgetting all the , privations .and-difficulties to which their Country• mni must have submitted in the course of the late arduous contest, they seem to have supposed, that some highand romantic notions of Honour and of Policy were to induce the People still to have borne additional and undefined burthens. When we see auch opinions pushed to such a n ex rrente, we are very apt to think that the " Politicians who.;..adopt and, at upon thear are influenced by some selfish motive—that they consider their own Fame as every thing, and the sufferings of the People as nothing. It is true, that a good deal has been said about another Party—owe mean that of the HEiR ArFA , RENT to the Throne—bet until we sec such a Party avow itself much . more openly th a n i t has ht' therm, 'Awe, we will nut rerrnit: ourselve s LO SLlP pose that it eX istS..... l rVe will not suppose it, be' cause we believe His Royal Highness the Panics of WAX. BS is possessed of good sense, and it re* quires nothing more to shew the extreme absur .oity of forming such 4 Party. That the PRINCS has many friends both in and out of Parliament , - nobody w ill deny.—Affable• Manners, open and generous Condua, must procure them ;—bur to sup' pose that he is such a dupe to the interested views of others, as to have formed, or that he wishes to form, a Party, must be a Calumny u p on his Character l and circulated by those who w i s h ei' ther to be, or to be thought to be, of that Party, because they have failed in their lit' tempts to become Members of any other.-- - " What possible good. could the Tickstc . E propose t° himself by such a measure i His Party mu st be' a weak one compared to that of the Minister, and he must fail in every attempt, the success of which he trusts to the Party itself—lt can therefore pro.. duce no present good, but the future embarrassments it would occasion are incalculable. ' Instead of hav" ing, when he comes to the Throne (an zra which God long avert I), .he free choice of all Parties from whence to select his Administration, he w ould find himself fettered, and bound to one set of men , perhaps a Party of inconsiderable persons, of mode rate talents, and unpopular throughout the Cowl. 'try--or if his love for his Country induced him 10 rejeft these men, he would incur the charge of un kindness and ingratitude. But these refleaions must have passed through the mind of His Royal High ness, and therefore we shall say nothing further upon the subjeci, unless, in a new Parliament, w e should see what we cannot yet bring ourselves r° suppose, that such a Party really exists. Whenever the Parliament has assembled, and when we observe the line that different persons take , we shall again' resume this subjest. At present , we 'have no reason to think that the state of Par' ties or of Politics will be materially different fronl what we have lately seen. The result of the Elec: c ' Lions has not strengthened the Opposition—and, I .' ,': they find a triumph in the event of that of Middy' ''. sea", we have the satisfaction of knowing,. when sve(• consider the extraordinary means by which it h . been obtained, din it is a triumph which they sv i i ~ not long enjoy. - Lord NE LSON, Sir WILLIAM and I. - TON, the Rev.
