, D 0 N, MAY 28, r 802. Paris journals of the 24th and zsth instant ;cached us this morning. The itioniteur of the ld t ter date contains two Letters from General LI:- ERC, the one .of the ti4te of the tst of April, from Port Republicain, and the other of the 9th of -that month, from tine Cape. Li the former letter, he- stat,es the driving General DESSALINES from - positiort to position with a few followers, but ad_ mite that he it Much favoured by local circumstances. The General says, it would he agreeable if a Ricket-bDat could. Arrive every week, that the Sol diers might hear of their farnilie- ,—Art -the Troops become impatient of their absence from home, and dissatisfied with the nature of the service in which they are engaged I That the latter is the case, we ran very readily conceive j and the former is ex tremely probable. General LECLERC holds out an inducement for Mechanics to repair to St. Domingo, of whom he says they are much in wan:.—Before he begins to re -build upon a birge scale, it would surely be prudent to have some tolerable security for the retention of the Colony. In his former Dispatch, the General tcld his Go 7:Acrmnent that he would not permit his Army to . 70t ) though they had been in constant motik:n for forty days. In the small space of fourteen dap- af ter, we find hint under the necessity of putting it into cantonments. The rainy season , vas about to commence—its ravages he had more reason to fear than even the ferocity of TottsSA 1 NT, and his black Troops. *.f.Le French Papers aff:rd little else that is inte- Theyare wholly silent on the reported Duel between Generals BERTH I Fit and Lr COUR H E, it► which the former is said to have fallen ; as they are likewise upon the sul►jea or the attempt upon the life of the Chief Consul.— :Such a circumstance, we should suppose, must have been of so public a nature, that the Journals might ILive ventured to notice it, had it aaually taken place. Their silence, ort the other hand, we will etinfes,-afrords no proof that such .an occurrence snay not have happened, Admiral Da WINTER sailed from the Textl on the toth instant, with a Squadron of three Ships of the Line, a Frigate, -and two Brigs.

The pro posal for such an arrangement has, we believe, been made by the French Government through the medium of M. OTTO. The British Merchants at Hamburgh mean to celebrate His MAJESTY'S birth-day in a very splendid manner. For this purpose a very con siderable sum has been subscribed. The new arrangement with the NABOB of OUDF, has not been correctly stated. By a Treaty between SAADUT-ALLY, the present Nabob, and the Hon. HENRY WE 1. LESLEY, concluded at Lucknow, on the loth of November tiiot, His Highness has ceded to the Company, in perpetual Sovereignty, a certain portion of his Territory, in lieu cf the Sub. sidy usual!) granted by him to the Company's Troops.

VIENNA, MAY 9 . .—A Deputation of the Mein , bers of the Hungarian Diet assembled at Frei burg, - arrived here the day before yesterday, to invite the EMPEROR, ,in his quality of_KING of HUNGARY, to assist at - the Sittings- of the Diet.

The Registers are to be closed on the 3oth inst. BASLE, MAY 20.—The Commissary-General KUIIN returned here on the loth from his mission in Le'man. The news from this Canton is not so sa tisfaaory as there was reason to hope for, after the dissolution of the Insurgent Army. Many corn. panics of these men have since that period committed excesses, and menaced and even ill-treated several Proprietors of feudal rights. Between the r ith and the r3th inst. some French Troops entered the, Canton of Untie:nen/1. Their arrival has frightened the discontented ; and the two principal movers of the troubles in this s Canton; the', Priests ,I.,f;ssy and KAISER, have decamped, the latter not having time to preach his famous Ser.; mom in the fields of Stantz, which had been so em phatically announced, and from which the most dan gerous conquences were to be feared.
