The Countess of GRANARD was at Court for the first time for some years. The Court closed at half past four, when the ROYAL FAMILY returned to Buckinghandiouse. The Haniburgb Mail of Wednesday is not yet arrived. Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held at Guildhall, being summoned to consider of peti tioning the Honourable the House of Commons, for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the Coal Trade. A Petition was accordingly read and agreed to, and ordered to be signed by the Town Clerk, and pre_ sented by the Sheriffs, attended by Mr. Rernern brancer. The six Deputies who have arrived from Malta, bringing a Memorial, the object of which is to soli cit His MAJESTY to keep possession of that Island, are the Marquis TESTAFERRATA, of a very noble family, Grandee of Spain; Lieutenant Governor CASTAGNA, Deputy of the two cities of Bormolo and Seaglia ; Mr. CACHIA, for Ziaura ; Mut. tA., Lieutenant Governor and first Senator of Gozo ; and two Maltese Priests. The Memorial has been laid before Government, but as to the result nothing has yet transpired. On Wednesday a numerous meeting of the High land Society was held at the Shakspeare Tavern ; and application having been made by the Society to the Colonel of the 42(1 Regiment, that dis tinguished themselves so highly in the Battle on the z Ist of ' March, before Alexandria, for Ser jeant SINCLAIR, who took the Standard from the Officer belonging to Bonaparte's Invincibles, to attend the meeting, he accordingly came from Winchester, where the Regiment is lying, and had the honour of dining with the Society. He was told if he wished to leave the Army the Society would provide for him in another way : this he de-- clined, and the Society came to a resolution to procure him a Captain's Commission. The Society have resolved to have Medals struck in honour of the Viaory, and to present them to all the Officers and Men of the Regiment. The Owners of the East India ships have lately come to a resolution to charge • freight upon Pre sents coming from India, of every description. • On Wednesday last came on the Ele6tion of Pro fessor of Poetry in the University of Oxford, when the Rev. EDWARD COPLESTON, A. M. Fellow of Oriel College, was elefted to that Professor Ship. The convocation of new States is talked of at W:rtemberg ; and it is thought this measure will . put an end to the long distradions .of that country. - , It is said to be desired, both by the Minister and the Sovereig►l. The great scarcity of money in Suribia, which is so prejudicial to Commerce, is owing to Eccle siastical States of that Country, seeing their secu larization at hand, are anxious to coned 'their money, and convert their goods into specie. .The Courts of Russia and Austria maintain the greatest intimacy and friendship. The latter will • feel the advantage of this in the settlement of the • • Germanic Empire. While the funeral service was pronounced over the ELECTRESS-Of the PALATINATE, by the Protes tant Clergyman of Carlsruhe, a number of Catho . - lics attended the ceremony. For some time it has been observed that a great number of Catholics of rank attend the Lutheran service. In the Baillyage of Alpersbach in Wurtemburg, which is governed by a Protestant Prelate, the ancient right of Celibataires is still retained. By it, if a person of either sex die in a state of Celi bacy, after having passed their fiftieth year, the Abbey inherits all his possessions, except Fiefs. This singular law forms a curious contrast with the Feudal Government which proteas it. In the massacres committed by the Negroes, on the breaking ou. of the Insurreaion in St. Domingo, it is ascertained that the number of White People who perished is much greater than was at first gene rally imagined. It was originally stated at about two hundred, next raised to three hundred and seventy, and the list of sufferers was afterwards swelled to five hundred. It now, however, ap pears, from further investigation and more corral accounts, that no less than eight him/red, including men, women, and children, have lost their lives. The Insurgents are described by those who were witnesses of the barbarous scenes, and who were fortunate enough to escape, to have been guilty of the most atrocious cruelty. Whole parishes were laid waste by the Conspirators.—The rigour with which TOUSSAINT . punished the Insurgents, parti cularly those who were concerned in the massacres, was indeed, as he himself observes in his Official Address, calculated to "strike terror into the most hardened criminals." In less than fifteen days above two thousand were executed. The House of Assembly of Jamaica have voted 23,0001. for the erection of barracks for the recep tion of white troops, and to he built in a healthy part of the interior.—An Address was at the same time presented to the Lieutenant-Governor (Nu_ GE NT), requesting him to make application, in order to the Island being relieved from the expences of the loth Light Dragoons, cavalry being no longer necessary. Meetings are held in America for the purpose of obtaining, from the United States, indemnification for the spoliations done to the commerce of the United States, by French cruisers, and which are stated to amount to upwards of twenty millions of dollars. The Asia, M‘Gill, from the Leeward Islands for Glasgow, is on shore at the Isle of Man ; great part of the cargo saved. A. NAVAL iVEIVS. .PORTSMOUTH, FEB.

AMERICAN TREATY. Mr. ALEXANDER moved for leave to bring in a Bill to enable His MAJESTY, for a time to be limited, to cause the Countervailing Duties on American Shipping to cease, under certain circum stances. General GASCOY NE said he did not wish to throw any obstacle in the way of the measure at present, but he thought such a Bill ought not to go forward without observation. He trusted the Hon. Gentleman would not push forward the Bill with pre cipitation, as he wished to make some previous in quiry, and move for Papers upon the subjea. Mr. N. V ANSITTARTsaid, it was by no means his wish to push forward the Bill with precipitation, so as to prevent the Hon. Gentleman from making any inquiry, or moving for any Papers. He was convinced that the more the Bill was considered and discussed, the less opposition would be made to it. it seemed, he said, as if he had been understood to say, on a preceding. evening, that the United States of America had taken off the Duties upon British Shipping ; but what he stated was, that they were disposed to take - off - those Duties, if a similar dis position was evinced by this Country to abolish the Countervailing Duties. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. General GASCOYNE moved for an Account of the number of Vessels with their Tonnage, en. tered Inwards from the United States of Ame rica, from the sth of July, 1799, to the sth of July i Si,p and also for the three _years preceding the sth of January 1793, distinguishing each year. Mr. N. FANSITTART suggested the propriety of adding to the Motion the words " distinguish ing British from Foreign Vessels," as the objeft of the Hon.lGentleman was doubtless to obtain more particularly an Account of the number of British vessels entered Inwards from the United States. General GASCOYNE thanked the Hon. Gentle. man for his suggestion, and the Motion, thus amend ed, was carried. General GASCOYNE then moved for an account of the number of Vessels Cleared Outwards to the United States of America from the sth of July 1799, to the sth of July i 8o i, and also for the three years preceding the sth of January 1 793, distin guishing British from Foreign Vessels, and also each year.—Ordered. Adjourned at a Quarter past Five, till To. morrow. THE SUN. SOLELI QUIS DICERE FALSIINI AUDEAT ? LONDON, FEBRUARY 19, 18oz. ST. DOMINGO. CENTRAL ASSEMBLY.
