PARIS, 27. A Frigate, which left St. Domingo on the t4th June, has arrived at Brest, and has brought the most pleasing intelligence respcaing the state of that Colony. The sickness which prevailed At the C43lse, has considerably decreased. The Blacks have all been disarmed in the South and West parts of the Island and in the North. the disarming goes on with teat activity. General DE ELLE, Chief of Division, died about fifte n days preceeding ;. he was one of the last '''aims of the malady which afEided the Army....,- The Republic has lost in him a General who has distinguished himself in several Campaigns. The Cape is re-building with great alivity. General LECLERC has suppressed all the duties upon the importation of articles of National Corn_ /tierce. The Gendarmerie which LEceeac has instituted, have already rendered great services. There has not been one murder throughout the 'hole of St. ,Domingo these two months. More than the half of the Blacks who had been incor- Porated with our Troops, have returned to Labour : the rest still remain with our Army, and are formed into a 4th Battalion. The proofs of the conspiracies of the unfortunate TOUSSAINT arrive from all sides. It appears that it was above all, the sickness of General LECLERC, who was compelled to go to the Isle of Tortue for a few days, that had awakened all his hopes. DESSAL INES and CHRISTOPH E were the first to develope his in trigues. The Captain-General praises highly the condaa of those two Black Generals. They have been the authors of many evils, but if they con. ttnue to behave as they have hitherto done, the de rnency of the French People is without bounds, and the Government may yet forget the past. As to Generals CLERVEAUX and LAreeste, their condud is more worthy of praise. At the first arrival of the Army, they joined the French Troops. The First Consul has confirmed them in their rank. The Captain-General LECLEIL C has displayed throughout the greatest adiVity, and military and political talents. He has rendered to his Country the greatest services. The Concordat has been published at St. Domingo, with appropriate splendour. It has contributed to re -attach to the Mother Country all the inhabitants of the Colony. NAPLES, JUNE 13.-4 f our last Letters from digiers'are to be believed, the Dey is preparing to declare War against all Europe. It is principally, •ze.veve r , against Spain, England, and ?ranee, that this measure is diredech The capture of the Portu goeze Frigate has inspired them wish the most extra.. 'vagant ideas. The Chief of the Regency already be -I.ieves himself to be the most powerful Prince on earth, and sets no bounds to his audacity. We have already Voken of unexampled outrages experienced by two /nglish Commanders; but we omitted to relate what was added by the Dey, after treating the English Agent in the most injurious manner— (' God (said he) has placed me on the Throne of Algiers, to avenge the True Believers on Infidels. have cannon and arms, and if the Powers attack des God will assist me." The strange conduit pursued by Spain, who sent 4 ve armed vessels to reclaim three that were callus eated, and who afterwards. consented to pay sixty thousand piastres, has served to give the Barbarian th e most extravagant opinion of his own power. The Dey has broken in a striking manner the 4"teaty newly concluded with France. Sixty French vessels; provided with all the necessary Papers, a Coral o n t h e C oasts o f Af r i ca , to carry on the "rat Fishery. On their arrival at Bonne, the Governor refused to permit 'them to fish, under Pretence that he had no orders from the BEY of Co NsTANTists, and the vessels were obliged tore treat. JOSEPH MONTI, of Bonifacio, in Corsica, IVlaster of the Gondola la Conception, who was fur. z 'ished with the regular Passports, had .1 • he'd y pro_ !ceded •to the Calle de France, and began to fish. On th e second day of his being stationed there, !t two in the morning, la Conception was boarded by an armed felucca from Bonne, The Master con veiving that they took him for a Neapolitan, de_ d ared that he was French. The Barbarians paid n ° attention to this declaration, but immediately attacked the" men, who were without arms, and exer cising an industry authorized by Treaty ; w ounded the IVlaster and three Sailors, cat to pieces and threw into the sea all the nets and the flag-staff; a nd then led back the vessel to the Point of Bonne. They afterwards forced the Vessel to enter the Port, where her papers, her sails, her helm, and her oars were all taken away by the Barbarians. The V i r , ce-e.onsul of Spain, JEAN DE Vrco, claim-' ed the Crew, bat he was informed on the zst of julY, that the Dey had ordered the Master and S ailors to be concluded to Algiers. Since then, " i ' le rs' have becn g • tven for thrce A!gerine Fri. gates, at-Al several smaller Vessels of War, to bold themselves in readiness to put to Sea. All the Forts are already put in a posture of defence, and the Corsairs labour day and night to complete their Armament. COLONIES, IN TELE NAME OE THE FRENCH REPT/111.1C. PROCLAMATION. ILICHEPANSE, GENERAL IN CHIEF OF THE ARMY OF GUADALOUPE, TO THE INHABITANTS OF THAT COLONY. " Citizens ! I hasten to announce to you, that the French Revolution has at length reach e d it s ultimate degree of power and stability. The Definitive Peace has just recon ciled all the Nations of Europe ; and you see, by the Articles of that solemn Compad,how advantageous the stipulations have been in favour of the Mother-Country. Know further, that the Government which has sent me, actuated by its profound wisdom, has nearly brought to perfedion, in the course of two years, the work of public felicity. Its power is not to be shaken, because it resides in a well-founded confidence in the regard of good Citizens, and in the affedion and energy of the Armies, which is respe6ted by the Cabinet of every Sovereign, and blessed by all the children of the Republic. " The Warriors whom I have introduced among you, arc part of' those on whose viaories was raised, on the iSth Bru maire, the new Constitutional edifice. Go, said the French Government, to them, elevate your glory to the highest pitch, by triumphing over the last opposition to its au thority in distant Countries. There you will have less enemies to conquer than errors to corredt—your presence will dissipate them. The Inhabitants of Guadaloupe have offer ed their tribute of courage, by preventing the destrudion of their Country. There is in the profession of Arms a happy sympathy, which unites by the ties of honour all the Defen ders of their Country. They desire to become the associates of your reputation; they hope to find in you Brothers, and soon the ancient bonds which attached them to the cornmon centre, will be confirmed by you. " It is my duty, Citizens, to realize this hope; it is also the wish of my heart to do so. Those brave soldiers who have so many times confronted death against the Enemies of France, are only here as the pro;edors of your homes, and as models of virtuous Warriors and Frenchmen, like yourselves. The ads of author: ty of their Chief, will be assurances of your happiness. You will anticipate their effeds by your voluntary return to good order, by an entire submjssion to the Govern ment which I represent, and by the oblivion of animosity ; but if the important ministry I am come to fulfil among you, should tail in producing universal conviction, and it there should any remain who are so senseless as to disregard, the le gitimate power of the Government, the natural vengeance, which has been so long restrained, will overwhelm them.— Disgrace and death will be their portion. " The present Proclamation shall be printed, published, affixed, and sent to the Communes. " 6 .Done at Pointe-a—Pitre, the i7th Floreal, teth year of the French Re?ublic, one and indivisible. " RICHEPANSE." A Letter, dated the z4.th of May, from the three Magistrates composing the Government of Gua_ daloupe and its dependencies; namely, the General in Chief RICHEPANSE, LESCALIER, Counsellor of State and Colonial PiefeCt, and Citizen Cos- TER, addressed to all the Citizens of Guada loupe, is inserted in the Moniteur ; it infers the benevolent dispositions of the French Re public towards the Colony; recommends the in habitants to persevere in their good conduet ; assures them that every attention shall be paid to their wants, and to the encouragement of commerce, industry, and agriculture : it promises pardon and protetion ro the deserving, and denounces punish ment to those who shall continue in a state of dis order, insubordination, and rebellion. There follows a Proclamation from RICHEPANSE, General in Chief of the Army of Guddaloupe, to the Inhabitants of that Colony, to the same effed. There is also an Address from GenprA. Ricris- PANsE and LESCALI ER, to the Municipal Agents and Commissaries of Guadaloupe, and to the Citi zens of Guadaloupe and its dependencies. It depre cares the fatal effeas of the disobedience of the Black altivators to the Mother Country—assures them of its benevolence and moderation, and pro mises security and pardon to the Rebels, and even rewards to those whose conduct may merit it ;, and it also invites the Municipal Agents to inform them of such as they may deem deserving of recompense.

A private Letter from Madras, gives an account of the following arrivals—Ship Fontana, Captain Hv L L, and Brig Tay, Captain STUART, from Prince of Wales's Island ; also the Ravenseworth, Captain HOLMES, from Coringa. By Letters from Colin , bo, we learn the arrival of the Barnaby at that port. —The Barnaby left her pilot the toth December, having encountered a heavy gale of wind off the Coromandel Coast. The Brig Diligente, Capt. DE SANTOS, arrived the 18th from the Seychelles Islands, whence she sailed in September last. This Vessel is under charge of an Officer belonging to His Majes. ty's" Sloop of War the riaor. A circumstance of a most shocking nature took place, a few days since, near Battle, Sussex :—A child of four year old, belonging to a private sol. dier stationed in the barracks, happened to stray into the adjoining fields, where he was met by two boys, who stripped him of his cloaths and beat him in so cruel a manner that they thought he was dead; 'and to prevent their being detected, they threw him into a hedge, and carried his cloaths to a considerable distance, where they hid them. The child however recpvered so far, in the course of the evening, as to be able to crawl home to its unhappy parents, a shocking spedacle of human depravity, being lacerated over every part of its body, and entirely covered with blood. It was immediately taken to the hospital, without hopes of recovery. The father of these early offenders, who is a labouring man in the neighbourhood, far from correcting his children, exulted in their brutal condua ; and it is a circumstance much to be la mented, that their early period of life prevents them from being brought to justice, neither of them exceeding nine years of age, DCTCII MAIL. VIENNA, JULY 'i4. THUM IMrEILIAL MAJESTIES and the QUEEN of NAPLES are returned hither from Presburg. • . After the arrival here of many Couriers and Estafettes, with dispatches relative to the Indem nities, the Vice-Chancellor of the Empire, Prince COLLOR EDO, who had gone to his estate a few days since with a six weeks leave of absence, was sud denly recalled, and orders sent to the Imperial Commissary Baron HUGE L, to hold himself in rea diness to set out for Ratisbon at an hour's notice. It is asserted that His IMPERIAL MAJESTY will, in September, go to Venice, to receive the homage of his new Subjeds. At Sebenico, and Bouches de Cattare,in Dalmatia, disturbances have broken out, of which ad vices have been received by Couriers from the Generals NI CO LETTI and RUCOVINA. The Court has in conse quence sent orders to Trieste, that money shall im mediately be transmitted to Albania, for the pay ment of the Troops, to whom considerable arrears are due. France has now obtained the free navigation of the Black Sea, in the same manner as Russia and Austria. The Governor of the Tyrol, Count Bust &GEN, has been re-called hither, in consequence of the ap proaching occupation of the Indemnities. Many persons who had fled from Wallachia, are now returning to that Country. iiii.DESHEIM, JULY ABOUT the 3oth His Excellency Count General ScHu LE NBURG is expeded here, and on the 4th of August the Prussian Troops will take possession of our territory. MANHEIM, JULY 17. rieW acquisitions of the ELECTOR of BAVA RIA are regulated and guaranteed by Russia. They consist in the - Bishopricks of Augsburgb, with St. Ul_ rich, Freysingen, a part of Passau, Kempen, Wurtz. burg, and Bamberg ; the new rich immediate Abbeys Y rsee, Ottobeuren, Ursperg, Wellenhausen, Rog. genburg, Kaysersheim, Elchingen, Soeflingen, and Wenger: ; in the eight Imperial Towns Ulm, Nord lingen, Bopfingen, Kaufbeuren Rothenberg, Wind sheim, Weissinburi,k, Sclmeinfurth, Dunkelsbuh I. The whole of these comprises 352 square miles, 900,000 inhabitants, and produces a revenue of 270,000 florins. The Counts PREYSING, SEIN sHELNI, Mid VON VVE 'cm, are appointed Eledoral Commissaries to take possession. The inheritance of Wiltelsbach will be separated from Bavaria, and divided between Darmstadt and Baden, which are Frontier neighbours. At Wurtzburg and Bamberg, the Court is deter mined, till the Evacuation of the Bishoprick shall be sanftioned by the Erareßott and the Empire, to shut the Gates of the City against any Secular Power that may attempt to take possession. EANKS OF THE MAINE, jut? 17. ON the Bth, according to our Gazettes, a Cott. rier arrived at Bamberg, who immediately proceed. ed thence to Wartzburg. His dispatches contained a notification, that the ELECTOR of BAVARIA was preparing to take possession of these Bishoprics ; to which the two Prince-Bishops answered, that the notification of such a change, according to the Constitution of the Empire, must be made to them by the EMPEROR and the Empire, and not by any single State. MUNICH, JULY I. Txt greater part of the_ Garrison here is ordered to break up, and is already drawn out into a Camp before this City, where troops are expeded from other neighbouring Garrisons. As soon as the Eleaor shall have taken posses_ sior of the Territories assigned him for Indemni ties, very important changes will take place in the whole of the Eleftoral States, which will be divid. ed into Provinces or Departments, to each of which a separate Bishop will be appointed, with the con sent of the Pope. The Convents will be the greater of them suppressed. On Wednesday last, the houses of William Lee and T. Syers, of Burnthill-Lane, near the Tiger's, Head, Lea-Green, Kent, were broke open during absence of both funilies, who were toiling in the fields, and stripped of all their clothes and bed-fur niture, by thieves yet unknown ; but supposed to be done by men in Sailor's habit, who were seen lurk ing about the place. Early yesterday morning, the house of Mr. Singleton, in Tabernacle-walk, Moorfields, was broke open, and robbed of linen and other property, to the amount of 301. with which the thieves made their escape ; leaving some implements of house breaking behind them. The Apollo, Long, from Nantucket to Liver pool, was lost in Carnarvon Bay, 2rst instant. Crew drowned, EDINBURGH, juLy z 6: COUNTY or EDINBURGH ELECTION- ON Saturd,ay a Meeting of the. County for the purpose of chusing a Representative in F'ar liarnent. The Right Hon. HENRY DuNoAs in tin; Cha Mr. NEWBIGGING, Clerk. After the'Roll was adjusted, and the (fir.`.:; ministered, Mr. DuNDAs. - addressed the the following eft ed : " GENTLtMEN, " As you have placed me in this Chair, it 'is now my duty to proceed to call the ). 7 ..0ts for the EleCtion of a Gentleman to represent this County in Parliament ; but, before doing so, permit me to say a few words. " Gentlemen, it is now nearly 2b years, since you first did me the Honour' of eleCting me your Representative in Parliament. Upon seven dif ferent occasions you were pleased to repeat that ho. nourable mark of your partiality a:ld favour toward me. It was you who first called me into,political life, it was you who first conferred upon me the Honour of being a British Senator ; and, if I have made any progress, if I have been honoured with any marks of respect by my Sovereign, or if I have, in the smallest degree, contributed to the good of our Country, it is by these expressions of your par tiality and favour that I have been enabled so to do, and they may probably be the means of having my name recorded in the annals of the Country. But it is not for the favours you have conferred on me alone, that my heart prompts me to deliver the sentiments I utter. My family, for a long period of time, have experienced repeated marks of your attention and favour.•+•Many arc the collateral ob ligations of gratitude which I feel. If I descend to the tomb of my ancestors, there I recognise: those, who, from the' friendship and favour conferred on them by you, heighten the debt of gratitude I owe, In re-tracing my own life, I find it distinguished by numberless expressions of your friend.ihip to rrty. self, and to those who are nearest and dearest to my heart. This day, too, Mom the business of this meeting shall close, I hope to experience another proof of that favour which, for so long a time, and on so many occasions, you have so liberally be. stowed. Gentlemen, I shall not detain you longer with saying more at present, language is inadequate to express the sentiments of respeel which I feel." This speech was received with strong marks of applause. Sir JAMES STUART then rose and proposed Ro. n ERT DUNDAS, Esq. of Melville, to be Member of Parliament for the County. The roll being called, the election was declared to be unanimous. Mr: R. DUNDAS rose and addressed the meeting to the following effea GENTLEMEN, " You have now done me the honour to &ea me a second time to be your Representative in Parlia ment, The short period which has elapsed since you last .conferred upon me a similar mark of your favour, does not permit me to refer you to my past services. Since then, however, a, very important change has taken place in resped of public affairs. Peace has been brought about in place•of war which was raging abroad, and ail danger at home has been warded off. It is, however, still our duty not to relax in those attentions which are essential to pre serve the honour and safety of our country. - " The favour and friendship which I have expe rienced frorh you all, both individually and collec_ tively, have impressed my mind with feelings of gra.. titude which I shall always retain. €c It is not necessary at preent for me to say what line of condut a Representative in Parliament ought to follow; but you will give me credit when I assure you, that the trust which you have so h o _ nourably conferred, it , shall be my study to dis, charge with propriety." In the afternooon a numerous company of Noble men and Gentlemen dined at the Assembly. rooms. ARRIVALS IN THE RACE WEEK.
