BASLE, MAY 14.—The late accounts from the Pay-de-Vaud are extremely satisfaftory. The ap... .pearance of the French troops, and the promise of a general amnesty, has had the effeEt of inducing the insurgents to return to their homes ; and tranquillity begins.to be again every where established. NAPLE3, AP a; L,27.—General MtutAT arrived a few days ago in this City. ' A detachment of the Royal Guard escorted him upon his arrival, to the residence provided for him. The Government treats him with peculiar distinaion. Our SoVereign is every moment expefted here from• Palermo. The Russian Minister, and the Engli s h Ch arge d'Af faires, have already arrived. from Sicily. General M(3l EAU sets out in a few days for lOme ; and by that time the French troops will have - evacuated our territories. The greater part return to France by sea. American Papers down to the 13th ult. are re— ceived. By the New-York Papers of that. date, it appears that the contested eietaiOn frir a GoVernor of Missachusetts was carried'on with great vigour between, .Messrs STRONG atd GERRY ;_ the furmer of whom, who is called the Federal Caddidate, had obtained a considerable majority in all the towns. The accounts received from St. Domingo at Bal timore, were of the 27th of March from Port Re- Republican. They are as follows : " 'rho French are in quiet possession of all the sea ports of the south part, but the Brigands occupy most of the interior of the north part ; Gen. LECLERC has just taken possession of a very .strong fortified po sition near St. Marks,. called Cratoporo. This was taken by storm, and a large party of Blacks taken, and, it is said, put to the bayonet.' 'Generals Tons_ SAINT and DESSALINES made their esca l ve, and have fled to the Mountains. Many of the White Troops were wounded. The Blacks are deserting TOUS ,AINT, and'giving themselves up to the 'Whites. The number of Blacks in revolt is not known." Extra& of a' Letter from Cape Francois, dated 22d, received at Philadelphia. " In a few days there, sails a squadron of French ships of war ftir the United States. " This morning there were received three let ters from TOUSSAINT, one for the General in Chief,. ,one for GeneralOyEit, and one for the Munici pality, advising the inhabitants and government to remove and embark their persons and property in eight days, or at the end of that term he would come into the City and massacre every white man, woman and child in it." - The Nenv-Y ark Commeretat Adverhser of the ioth • of April states - as follows :—" By the letters lately received from Cape Francais, Nve s are now enabled , to fmrrn a 'pretty corred idea .of the treatment Which Americans receive and may expect from LECLERC and his myrmidons.. The American vessels which he found there on his arrival, be itnmediately- em hargoed—Crews, boats and vesss.ls )tit in re jai_ sition at pleasure, without ,irgle sous in compensation. Flour, for wh: - .he. inhabitants were willing to pay sixteen a barrel, the French Authorities seized and Converted to their own use, paying at the rate of twelve dollirs a barrel, only in cash, other 3,4.ths in bills on Franee, which can nowhere be sold, even at a dis count of so per cent. One 'unfortunate American (Mr. Low) bad the folly to trust French Officers with a deposit of 23,000 dollars, confiding in Gallic faith. Delusive confidence When he asked again for his'own, .for his all, he wa,s-, denied to be the Owner—he offered the most convincing proofs—they were rejected. In consequence Of which he buried his sorrows and despair in a watery grave." It - appears that the American ships at Cape Fran_ cois Meet with the most Scandalous And vexatious treatment from the French Agents. Mr. Toll I AS . a LEAR, the American Resident, has presented strong remonstrance against these procedings. The following paragraph, from the Palladium, an American paper,' will shew how much the Ame, ricans are alarmed at the gigantic attempts of the First Consul at territorial acquisition. Bona.' parte, President of the Italian Republic, with a sa lary of one hundred thousand dollars ! ! ! who is to he President of Louisiana ? Perhaps. the Premier himself; 'he will then, like a huge Colossu, with one foot on each Continent, - bestride the world.—a. Let the democrats begin to consider whether our : sister Republic is ambitious of territorial aggran. dizement 1" On the 28th of April, two Spanish men of war, the San Pedro Alcanta'ra, and the Savannah, with 8.700,000 dollars, besides merchandize of great value, arrived in the Bay of, Cadiz. This circum stance caused a great fall in the discount - on the Go vernment notes. The late unseasonable weather has not been cori_ fined to the vicinity of the 'Metropolis, but has ex tended over the country. Our accounts state, that for several days there have been heavy falls of snow and hail ;, and in exposed situations, ice has been found half an inch in thickness . ! 2 Fruits of all kinds have experienced incredible 'eltatrligel-and:some of the most hardy .trees have beetrimirely deprived of their leaves. On,the mountains in . Wales , ;snow was near a foot deep last week. At Berwick-upon-Tweed, the ground is covered with snow near a foot deep, and the weather as cold as 'is usual in the month of January. Yesterday afternoon as some boys , were playing on the craft moored off Blackfriirr's-bridge, one of them fell into the'water and was drowned. His body was not found at a late hour in the evening, tlidugh the drags were immediately employed, THE OPERA. Fallat;co di i ßerlina, an Opera horn* pen or ,PAstELLO, in his best manner,_was_perforirted. at thi Theatre, for the first' rime, on:Saturday ; the nave of the author is a sufficient recommendation ut ie music, which is of the highest finish. 'here is rather a singular history attending this Piee. When Operas Were performed at, the Pan then, PAEst ELL° was engaged to compose a Comie Opra, and he produced Lalocanda, the music of wlrh met ,With such universal applause, that he hirself being \ at that time at Naplss,, revised and alteed it, and partkulatly added'a,Quintetto, on wlrh he bestow :Watt his powers ; and the O i eera wa: thus performed ai Naples, under' the title of Il ?anatico di Berlin, at the same time that it was performing in London under that of La La_ canter. There is some little alteratiOn in the fable, muill in the recitative, and some in the concertante pars. ; The Finales remain nearly the, same, and are remarkable for all the spirit of the Atithor in tlrt particular species of composition. ViNcr and VIGAtroNt gave the Duet, " Tutto do rim; dipeude," with effete, although we think a little too slow. The .Quintetto Pian piano alluded to above, is a remarkably fine produdion, and as soon as the Performers, by being perfea in tile ex ecution, give it all its due effect, . must become a favourite with the ,Public. We suppose that a first night excuses some inac 'etira-cy, but we thought, in this Morceau, the. Pe rformers larticularly negligeht. Virstc is Bravura we do not recolleet in La La canda, nor indeed does is breathe either the spirit or style of PAEsi ELL(); an Air of less execution would, we think, produce more effe6l, with less difficulty. The first part of the last Finale, and the last part of it introduced by the solo movement of Leander's .Horns, Monozani's Flute, and Holmes's Bassoon, is,,of the first stile of musical elegance : the whole was rather long, and some of the less prominent pails might be omitted. with out much loss. Paul et VirAinie was revived as the Ballet, and produced on that pleasing satisfaftion which such' an. affecting story ,well told, :will ever .do. HILLIGSBERG, we think, triumphs in this Ballet. LA - BOttre's-- ading is' too .universally ad mired to need a comment. 'The Ballet was received with general "applause. The clap of thunder we think - the most - extraordinary , we ever remember, perhaps it is usual in those climates. The House was excessively crowded in every parr—the Pit was unusually filled - With Beaky ,and, Fashion, and the\ Boxes to the 'roof displayed a shew of elegance. THE. THATRE,—The amusing little .oj;era of 'Rosina w'as on Saturday last revived, at Covent- Garden, for the purpose ,of bringing forward Mrs. B/LLINGTON again as the beroine, of the piece. is needless to say that she sung/ the airs, which a some/of the most beautiful compositions of SH lELD; with admirable taste and skill. She was encored In " Whilst with "tillage maids, &c." and rapturously applauded in alLthe rest. LEDON, who seems to. h ave be en fired with laudable emulation by the sue .... of ‘,Q c y ugh * itim prpved, obtained abundant applause in "Her mouth, which a smile, &c." and was obliged to repeat it. 'The first dramatic piece was The Birth-Daj, and Rosina was followed by Brazen Mask. The audi er.cc, .which was not very numerous, were ex- It - Cutely clamorous" to have the finale to Rosina re. peated. . MUSIC.—BARTLEMAN, a very respeftable orna ment of the musical world, had his annual concert on Friday at VVlLLts's Rooms. Mrs. BILLING TON, HARRISON, SALE, GOR.Ei VAUGHAN, NE ILD, &c. assisted on the occasion, • The Rodin was very 'well atten'cled, and the company were ,highly grafi fied, which may easily be supposed, as the' harmonic treat was supported by Mrs. BiLtiticToi; BAR TL ENTAN and HARRISON, and so many. other Ter, formers , of-adklt4wltdged merit. The Pitfifl.liviQpra House was crowded before eight 0'c19,45,,,,994:payirday last ; between six and seven hundied,.Guineas were taken at the door. Jri The Benefit of Mr. and Mrs. POPE at Drury_ Lane, on Friday. last, was.'one of the most produc tive which the' season has yet afforded, and tLe manner in which they played Mr. and Mrs. Love_ more, in The Way to Keep I-Em, spews that they might be employed in genteel 'comedy with con siderable advaniage•to the Theatre. KELLY has become a singer at the P;c-Nie Thea; tre. This Gentleman's business: multiplies': he now belongs, it seems, .to three Theatres.•. As; the Executors of, the _late Earl of OP.PORD have at length formally declared that the Play of Fashionable' Friends: wns really found among his Lordship's papers, there can be no room for doubt. Such a declakation was indeed necessary for their ovvrt credit and that of their friends, as it was thOught . that many of , them had contributed their , efforts.toivards . the formation of a Pic_ Vic Comedy. Fresh instances daily occur of the dreadful cf feets of our modern Romances. A young military man at Strasburg!, lolew out his brains on being refused in marriage to a young Lady, who had, been promised to irnother: On his tAble were found his Will, and a copy of The Sorrow,t, of fP;rter The loss'occasioned by the fire in Woolwich Wa'r_. ren on Thursday morning is lininenSe ; 'however,' ()win to the great exertions of the officers and men, several valuable articles; ,as manuscripts, models, carriages fOr guns, &c. were saved. The fire was entirly confined to the, square, 'nor did the houses belOnging iti Pfie ) ;6fECii,• though some of them were very near, ':suffer iaritbe least. No perion suffered any material injury during the conflagration, but in the afternoon of the same day; two men were un. fortunately killed by - the falling of a wall'. We are desired to state•that a paragraph which appeared;in our Paper of Saturday respeding Lord: BROWNLow, is a misrepresentation of that Noble= man's intentions. , • Friday the Gentlemen of the Bank Association were - discharged from their duty as a militarY body, their services being no longer required, IPCST LVDIES. ,- r - 7-/ KINC.7TON, ST.

Two C mpanies of the Ist West India .Regiment, - tinder, the command of Capt. BitAUGHTON; were landed here last Friday. X-11;••• , ‘ c MARCH 20. A gentleman who arrived from Martinique a few dVs since, informs us that the British Troops,' on quitting Sr. Thomas`s, were insulted by the lower orders of the people ; in consequence of which the Crew of a 'Frigate landed - , and broke open every house that had - a flag flying. This caused such con sternation throughout the. Town, that the Governor sent a polite message to the COrmnander of the gate, requesting him to exert his influence with the Crew; and persuade them co re-embark. BASSETERRE, APRIL I. ..A . considerable shock of. an earthquake was felt here on Sunday morning last, about two o'clock.

The Anniversary Dinner of the Royal Military College was held on Saturday se'nnight, at the Thatc,ed-house Tavern.

The tpproaching ''Conference betwegi the Con. tiiiental - POtentates - Will be attended with—ext-raordi nary splendour. The king of Prussia has already ordered six Statelcoaches, each to bedrawn by eight horses,- to.. Memel, wherc the nost.surnpteous and brilliant preparations are now making for the wel come of the illustrious visitors. , . The following curious Anecdbte .has given rise to much pleasantry and amusement in the fashionable circles of Paris: Three young LadieS, nearly of the same age, and brought up from their infancy in a boarding school at Paris, had coutraEtedso strong an affeaion for each other, that they formed the resolutiOn of remaining: together for their lives. A very painful idea, however, embittered this happy prospea, and that idea was marriage, which, should their parents insist- upon, their conti*twould inevitably prevent the eternal union they so,ardently sighed for. The youngest suggested a remedy, and proposed, that as Polygamy was prohibited in France, they should write to the, GRAND SlGNlOR,rtques tirg him to take them all three as his wives.- A let -ter to that effeft was accordingly written,'and signed by the, trio ; but being put 'into the post with the address aTo the Grand Turk- at Constanti , nolle," it excited suspicion; . , rtno was carried to the 'Minister, who - opened and read it, to his great diverSion'and that of -his friends. The anecdote has been productive of many witty epigraiins and hu mourcus remarks in Paris, and has been made the subjeEtof a, petite Piece, whicli is adually preparing for the Theatre Lotiwis. On Friday last, to celebrate the Peace, at Ely, a bullock, weigl6g•nearly 6o : I tone, w as roaste d i n the IVlirket-place, and afterwaids distributed at the Shire-OAI, with zOOO penny loaves, to 'a vett" - arateful.multitudeof surrounding speaators. At Derby an uncommon pLcuotnenon appeared in the air a few mornings ago ; it cansisted of four circles, and part of another,' in the ibllowing order : The smallest, which was neatest to thAun, might he 15 di.tg. diameter, withluminous spots to • the right and left; like what are called mock-suns ; the second encompassed the former, and . was twice as large ; the third the size of the second, and joined its circumference to t h e W est ; an j t h e "'fourth cireumscribcd'. all the others, and was touch ed upon the Western side by part of another of the same .diameter. Last week, two men employed in a sandpit be longing to, Mt. Foster, of Bossall, discovered a coMplete human skeleton, which 'appeared to have been arown ,in the earth in a. curved state, the spinal-bone being bent t.lwartis the knee. The teeth in the jaw-bone were jerfettt, and the skele. ton was not more than three feet below the surEice. On Tuesday morning, six men ,belonging to the Royal:WaggOn:frain, wi;11 carts and hres, were employed: in'conveying stone fromWhite-Dyke to Ram!:gatc , ,, which is situated a mik off shore, from, Broat - hrairs, and at low water forms an island ; bat waitiog too long, aild - the tide coming in so rapid as to prorent their return, their im minent d anger was 'perceived by tiie Brcadstairs boatmen, who put or to their : assistance; notwithstanding their humane exertions, Qne'man and several hooves were drowned.
