WE have - at length the happiness of announcing the Arrival of the DEFINI TIVE TREATY OfPEACE. IV 4 r. MOORE, one of the Secreta . rics of the Plcnipoten-, tiary Marquis CORNWALLIS, arrived in Town with it this morning at a quarter past nine o'clock. It was signed on Saturday at half past four o'clock in the afternoon precisely, in the presence of all the Prefe&s of the Department, and a vast concourse of People. The Hall in which the Pleni potentiaries met was crouded with Peo ple, and the instant the Signature took place, the air resounded with acclama tions. On Saturday evening an illu mination took place in all the Towns of the Department. Mr. MOORE left Amiens with the Treaty at half past five on Saturday. Two Communications were made this morning to the Lord Mayor : one in consequence of a notice made last night by M. OTTO, that the Treaty was a&u ally signed ; and the other, after the ar rival of Mr. MooRE this morning. The following is a Copy of the last : " MY LORD, (COPY.) " Downing , Street, March 29, igo2 " MR. MOORS, Assistant-Secretary to Mar. quis CORNWALL IS, has just arrived with the De finitive Treaty of Peace, which was signed at Amiens on the 27th of this month, by His Ma jesty's Plenipotentiary and the Plenipotentiaries of France, Spain, and the Batavian Republic. " I have the Honor to be, • " My Lord, " Your Lordship's most obedient humble Servant, (Signed) HAWKESBURY. " To the Right lion. the Lord Mayor." As soon as the Treaty is returned from Windsor, whither it was immediately dispatched to His MAJESTY, the joyful event will be announced by the firing of the Park and Tower guns, the ringing of bells, &c. &c. &c. A Gazette was printing when this Pa per was put to Press, announcing merely the arrival of the Treaty. Its official publication here will not take place till after the Ratification, unless the French should chuse to give it to the world through the medium of the Moniteur. YESTERDAY we received French Journals to the zsth inst. inclusive. Their contents relate chiefly to St. Domingo. The Proclamation of General LE CLERC is de signed to enforce an exatl discipline among his troops ; but the dispatch from Admiral VI LLARET_ JOY EUSE is little more than a duplicate of the Ge neral's letter, as the Fleet had no opportunity of being brought into effeftive operation. By a Letter from Admiral Li NO IS to the Admi ral in Chief, it appears, that the Dessaix, a Line of Battle Ship, commanded by Captain PALL r ERE, who distinguished himself near Algesiras, has been totally lost. Admiral VILLARET has addressed a Letter to the British Commander in Chief off Jamaica, in which he expresses his confidence, that as Peace is restored between Great Britain and France, the British Commander will not only refuse all suc cour and refuge to the Rebel Colonists, but will even assist the French Army with such Articles of Provision, as the necessity of their circumstances ,may require. Admiral GANTHEAUME'S Squadron arrived at Cape Francais on the t7th ult. The French Funds were at 56 fr. 65 c. A Dutch Mail arrived yesterday, morning.— The Provisionary Government of Amsterdam, have issued a Proclamation to all those under its ju risdidion, informing them of certain new regula tions, which are intended to remedy the state of public credit in that city, which has long been the subjea of complaint. The other articles of foreign intelligence have been anticipated by the arrival of French Papers. Yesterday a Hamburgh Mail also arrived. The only important intelligence that it contains, relates to Tc-4 - key . in Europe, which is described as one wide `theatre of commotion and disorder. Romelia is in a state of insurreaion, Adrianople is besieged by banditti, and the efforts of the Porte to subdue the. Insurgents have hitherto proved fruitless. The Mail which became due yesterday, is not arrived, THE last Accounts which have reached France from St. Domingo, and which we received by the Paris Papers do Saturday, are not less interesting than the former Dispatches. They contain an ac fount of the Expeditions against Santo Domingo, Port au Prince, and Port de Paix, all of which, as might have been expeaed, were attended with suc cess. There is no detail with respect to the first, but much relative to the other two ; on these two points, as well as at the Cape and Fort Dauphin, the Negroes made as vigorous and obstinate (though not so skilful), a resistance as could have been effe&- ed by the best regular Troops. They disputed Port au Prince, inch by inch ; and they appear to have fought with no less obstinacy and effea at Port de Paix, which they did not quit till they had set on fire and blown up two forts. Previous to these two attacks, which were entrusted to Gene rals BOUDET and HUMBERT, they attempted, in vain, every means of conciliation, to induce the Negroes to permit them to land without mo lestation'; who replied, as at the Cape, by a decla ration, that their landing would be a signal for the massacre of the Whites, and the destruftion of the Towns and Plantations. This uniformity in the condua and language of all the Negro Comman dants at the different posts attacked, proves that TOUSSAINT had previously combined his plan of defence, and that he was not taken by . surprize, as some have represented. No other important expedition had taken place when the dispatches came away, but preparations were making for an attack by sea against Conti/lies and another against Mole St. Nicholas, whilst Ge neral LECLERC announces his intentions of advan. cing on the next day with a part of his troops in to the Mountains, to endeavour to possess himself of the positions of Dondon and Plaisance. The point of view in which these dispatches are most important is, that they fully develope the re lative situation of TOUSSAINT and the French Re public, and leave no doubt of their being decided enemies ; and that a destructive and bloody war must ensue between them. It appears that General LECLERC had made TOUSSAINT many proposals, and had, during several days, endeavoured to lead him to obedience by magnificent promises, and par ticularly by that of making him his Lieutenant-Ge neral. The ambitious and crafty Black Chief tem porised, and sought to amuse the French General, but could not be induced to accede to his propo sitions. The latter, in consequence of this con duft, declared TOUSSAINT and CNILISTOPHI Out laws and Rebels by a Proclamation, in which, hnw_ ever, he gives them the title of Generals. It ap pears as if he had some hopes of General DESSA. LINES, or that he flattered himself he should be able to cause a division between him and the other two Black Chiefs, as the French General has not included him in the Proclamation. This Proclama tion contains many threats, but at the same time, with much good policy, it leaves an opening for the desertion of the Negroes ; which is the principal support of the hopes of the French, and upon which they must, in a great meaaure, depend for the ulti mate success of their expedition. The Squadrons of the Admirals GANTHEAUME and Lustots had arrived at St. Domingo, the one on , the z rth, and the other on the r7th of February. The former met with bad weather, and two Cor vettes were so much damaged as to be obliged to return to Europe. Admiral 'Allots was still more unfortunate ; not having good Pilots on board, he approached too near the rocks at the Cape, on which two Ships of the Line, the Dessaix and the St. Gennaro, struck. They got the last into Port, but the Dessaix was entirely lost, with the exception of the Crew. Those who read with attention and discernment the dispatches of General Leer l eec and Admiral VILLARET, will find ample reason to believe the truth of the information which we gave on Satur day, relative to St. Domingo, and the probability of the consequences which we deduced from it. As we foresaw, the French have rendered themselves masters of all the maritime places which they have attacked ; but we see with regret, that we were not deceived in supposing that the Negroes had formed a firm resolution of resistance. Every thing shews that they are irreconcileable enemies to the Whites, and that they do not expeft, neither will they listen to any terms of accommodation, It appears that they have committed, at Port an Prince, two gis which ought not to leave those who were guilty any hope of pardon. When the French disem barked, the Negroes cried out to them, that an or der had arrived to permit them to advance, in con. sequence of which a French Battalion pushed for ward, and were met by a shower of cannon balls and bullets. Driven from the Town, the Negroes carried with them into the Mountains, 300 Whites, the Aid-de-Camp of General BOUDET, and a Lieutenant of Marines, who had been sent to them under Flags of Truce. The expulsion of the Negroes from the Maritime places and the Coast, has been followed by An eve nt , of which-we expressed our fear, the Destruaion ol the Plantations, and the ravage of the Plains, which will leave nothing to the French but ruins and ashes, and will destroy, for a long time to come, the means of cultivation and of produce This circumstance is confessed in the French dis patches to have much diminished the satisf,aajc'n arising from the first successes of the Expedition! Another point of view Must also be contemplated with chagrin : it appears, that with the exception of some Whites and a Black General, and 150 Sol diers who have deserted from TOUSSAINT, no ' lm " • portant defedion has taken place, whilst the greater part of his Troops have withdrawn into the motto" tains. They are there less subject to desertion than in the Plains ; for it is reasonable to suPP °9° that if they were not quite firm in their fidelity, the moment in which they were first struck by thg' appearance of the Fleet, and the power of the • French, would have been that in which they we re most likely to have been induced to submit t° th° Republican Whites. It appears that the difficulties of the ente r r iza have more and more affeaed General Lec LERc ; and that he has in consequence neglected no means •to ensure it a happy termination. He has sent two frigates to Cuba for 700 Mulattoes, formerly r at ' titans of RIGAUD, whom he will arm ag ainst TOUSSAINT. This aid wilt be more useful to ili°l than some thousands of French troops ; and in p ro ' moting a deadly war between the Negroes An d the e Mulattoes, he will have the a dvantage of off one against the other. The Hospitals and Provisions have engroSseel the del attention of the French General, who has ft ry with respect to these two objeds, every nee essa ; regulation. To provide f or the w an ts of the A' rrit a Frigate has been sent to the United States of America, and another to Jamaica, bearing a f ter from Admiral VILLARET to the Gov ernor that Island. The heat of the Climate, the fatigue of the Service, and the wants to which the Fren ch Soldiers have Fen compelled to submit, _ appear to have caused scm • disorders ; in consequenc e which, their Chief has published several severe rem gulations, and established Military Comuli ssi°6° instead of Republican Juries. , ithe In. spite of all the obstacles which the natur e ' 0 c ivc enterprize must doubtless induce them to P er -e - d the French General and Admiral continue to flat s — f their Government w i t h t h e approac hing conqu est o the whole Island.
