" I have only delayed for so long.a period to give you an ctotlnt of what has pissed here, in order that i might, when (I informed you that ~ v.e had found Rebels to combat, announce to you at the'satne time, that they were vanquished. . . " On the,7th, we effe&ed our disembarkation at Cosier, and at the port of Point-a-Pitre. At the latter place we had every reason - to - be:ie..e that we should meet with resistance from the BatteriesOf l'lslt-.1-Cochon, and those of the torts of Fleur d' E ptle and l'Union. `‘ Tw6 Ships ant:bort-A before the Cosier, and disembark ed their Troops, who: immediately afterwards were ordered to march upon the Morue Mascatte, in order to take the Fort rleur d'EPC::e in the zsar, and cut off its communication ivith the redoubts Pirnbridge and Stivenson. The. Troops disembarked at the port of the Point,. were to march to the River to take possession of the Fort de la•Vidoire, IPA then of the F,ort l'Union. our dispositions were, hOwever, useless ; they `were expecting us on the quay, where they received us with cries 9f 44 Vive 14. Republique! Vive BONA PARTE I" The Troops. formed themselves on the Place de la Arielloire, vthefe r Toiind IZLACE, who assured me of the entire submission of the whole Island . : I ordered him to deliver up all this Pcsts at the Fortsot Fleur d'Ep6e,.pnidn, and La VV9irc, and alsO the recloubtS Sitilbridge and Stivenson. 1-1.2 promised me that he would giVC: . orders- in consequence, and also to assemble u4i . the reildribt Stivenson all his TrPops.in this part of the Malt, and Whiell I wished to re view the same evening. " The French Troops assembled upon the Place-la I ° ll 'e, under the Fott of that name, where the detachnients were formed which were to.occupy he different P,;i : tS, arid which set off for that,pUrpose. A moment after,. I was in- formed that I Gl,lfre, the Commandant of the Fort of laVie tcire, would 4not sillier the, Troops I had sent to enter the Tort, ' I ordered •itrem - ..t0 enter at the par de Marge, mit° mote prisoners 00 cNA c z.and his Troops. The Commm(l 7 anr of the Detachment beat the Charge, .but lon ACE re treated Vvith his Troops, by a gate,upisosite -to that by Nvhich I 'veentered. . " During this time Proceeded with the rest of,.the. T r°Vt , iTnder Fort Stivenson, the-rendezvous as i,;nedfor the a xerublihii. of the Black Troops. The day had disappeared, fld., in Spite of tile . obscurity of the night, I perceived a great n'arnl:,er of Black Soldiers were spread about the Country under ar:ns. It then occurred to ,me, 'what I had often heard said, that P Et. .t.e, was a traitor. liaving.arrived at the place otrendezvous, I found P SLAG E., Who irtformtci me that many of hiS Officers; ands great uum 13it of his Soldiers,. hid deserted hint. joined, however, ' 4 ('''e whom I found there, and spoke to them in terms stit td the occasion: " Little satisfidd with what I had seen amongst these ?mops, and with the desertion of others, I decided to em }Ark those whona 1 had with me, in the night, aird fermed them that wished to have them with me in Pro ceeding t 6 Basse-releol .

We 'were obliged therefore to transport the Troops on board the Ships anchor:croft' Cosier, and Much time being Cus lost, added to conttary winds, we did not arrive before laSse-Terre until the loth at noon. The discharges of can tan direded against us, left us no lotiget in doubt as to the etuation of affairs. Being ready, however, either ter Peace 4 - for War, we lost no tittle in diseinbarking, " At the first discharge of cannon, I sent a Cantle With a :etter to PELAGE, bore. by an Officer of the Colony.— lot seeing him return, the'Troops, which were placed in the thaloupes, rowed towards the shore, and landed a little be- Yana the mouth of the River Duplessis, under the fire of the tatteries and Musquetry. The valour of the Troops was con iPieuously displayed on this occasion, and I assure you they lad much to do, to gain, during the day, the Right, Bank of t he River des Peres. " During the night the Troops aIL assembled on this l a nke and at day-break they did not march, but run at the I' le iriF• The position of the Enemy on the Left Bank : of 'le River, was agreed on all hands to be a very fine one, and t he Rebels were well armed. Their Position, was, however, forced in ten minutes ; a part of the Revolters threw ehem ielves into tort St. Charles, and another part geneed the tr ir'tnes on our left e we pursued. &ten towards Galion and ;`le Midge de Nosiere. " General S eels ta, who remained at GrandeTerre, hav ing had orders to assemble what Troops he could in that Part, now left what force he thought indispensably necessary for the maintenance of tranquillity in the Countri,. and with the Battalion of the t sth, which had come by land from Petit Bo urg to Trois Rivieres, joined us by les Palmiste, and 1 tohii.v: Canard. , Until then, we cculd not undertake any against the Fort. " Th is junetion being effeded, we disembarked the can '4°4 from the Ships, and after inconceivable difficulties, hating to drag them up very steep mountains, we at length termed a Battery of 3o pieces of cannon, which was enabled to ad on the et st. On the 2.2 d, at seven in the evening, the Fort was e vacuate d b y the R e b e l s, w h o p r o fi te d by th e non teeution of my order, by which 400 men weft to have been 1/ laced on the 'left bank of the Ca:ion, for the purpose of I Sking them prisoners.

LAW REPORT. COURT OF KING's BENCH, TULY T 4. • SITTINGS BEFORE LOEp ELCENBOROUGH AND A SPECIAL JURY IN WESTMINSTER HALL. SIR F. EDEN, BART. V. MANSEL AND ANOTHER. MR: GARROW said,, that this was an Anion - of ,Troivr, against .the Defendants, for taking and converting so their own use; six silver spoons, the property of the, Plaintiff, Sir! Frederick Eden, Bart. for whom; he said, he had the honour of being Counsel. The Honourable Baronet brought this anion ' Merely•totry a question of Law, and the Jury would have no difficulty in it. His Majesty, having no personal Residence at his magnificent Palace at Hathpton Courr; hilt from his good • and graciOns pleasure; permitted several persons of distinttion to occupy apartments in this Palace, and a number of honourable Officers of the Palace occupied theni ac cordingly.. . . The Defendants; who were Parish-Officers, rated these apartments thus occupied by His Majesty's grestions permission, and.took these Spoons; which were the property of Sir F. Eden, by way of distress, in order that this aaion shotild be brought by that Hon: Baronet for the purpose of taking the opinion of the Cohrt upon the question of—whether these Apartments were or were not rateable ? For the facility of the discsission of this question; the parties had come to the admisSion of certain fans, which, ' indeed; contain the whole of this case; and which the jury would hear ,read by the Officer of the , Court: He understood that his Learned Friend, who was of Counsel fur the Defendants; wished to add to these admissions some. farts, which he should resist, becaose they were not legal evidence in this cause: The true ()Ned of the parties here was, to have the facts found by the. jury upon these admis sions, for • the , purpoe of snaking this a Special Case; with, leaite. to turn it into. a Special Verdia, if either the parties should desire it, or the Court think it proper, hereafter. , • The-Admissions were the!ie : That the .Plaintiff's anion was well brought against the Defendants, who were the Officers of the Parish, Without joining the Magistrates who is sued the Warrant of Ditresi. That the Defendants seized the goods.in question forsthe paYMent. of zl. rated upon the. Plaintiff for the occupation , of his apartment, at the. Palaceof Hampton Court, b - here be sesidea_during His Ma jesty's pleasure. That the Assesstrierit rnacle upon the Plaintiff, was made and allowed as ,required . by Law,. against the Inhabitants of the' Parish; &c. Th,tt,,no objeaion will he made' .;:-) any Witness 'On account of either being Pao,):li;;nt . r:o jampton, •pt of occupying Apartments witlia the Palace, or ; its PsecinEts. , * Mr. ERSKINE said, it apPearcd to him, that as this wets ei ease upon maissiops, an 4 quzs!ion W ,as toshe 'put - upon the Record,. either as a Special Case, or in amote soielun way, by Special Verdi a, it would not answer the purpose of deciding the real question, which it was the objeas to have decided by the Courta The Hon. Baronet, who was the owner of the property in queStion, had permitted his name to be brought into Courtin this case,for the put- , pose ofdeciding a point upon which there was a differ- , ence ofopinion between the Officers of the Parish, and those who occupied Apartments. within tbe Palace, • and the question was„whether these Apartments:, thus. occupied, were or were not rateable?—and for the purpose of agitating this question she Hon. Baronet had permitted his name to be made use of in this anion as , a , Plairitiff. The truth of the matter was this—Here •was a difference of opinion between the Church-wardens and Overseers of the Poor repre senting the Parish, and the several occupiers of the apartaients•in this Palace; but by the evidence upon . these admissions, the case would settle only the particular case of Sir Frederick EdeN Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, it wu st tsi settle the case of Sir Frederick Eden, and all o t her cases of the same description. • Mr. ERSKINE said, that the parties, in bringing this case before the Court, had come to an amicable arrangement ; but the matter, as it stood, was de.: feaive. Costs to the Hon. Baronet could be no objeft in a case like this. There were other cases which it was desirable to have settled. Cases of others who had apartments in this Palace. Srj Frederick Eden appeared by this case to have apart. merits in this Palace, which he occupied by His Majesty's pleasure and permission ; and this might be called a Tenantcy during the Royal pleasure.' Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, that perhaps, upon this statement, there was no Tenatitcy at all. Mr. ERSKINE proposed, that some. further fa'as should be inserted into the case. He could prove, in point of fan, that there were persons who held some of these apartments in the Palace, who had been regularly-rated, -brvirrue of their office:7,, such as .cardeners and other servants, &c. who held them in virtue of their offices, &c. and that they had paid such rates. He Wanted these fa(ks to be in troduced into the case. Mr. GARROW said, he held in his hand that which was His -Majesty's permission, signed by the Lord Chamberlaio, my Lord . Salisbury; by which, he said, none wete permitted to occupy these apartments, or to be considered in the possession of them, in their absence, who did not leave their servants there ; so that their residence was per ' sorsa), depending uport His Majesty's pleasure, and, therefore, no fixed residence which could be deemed rateable ; and, therefore, he could not assent to having that which Mr. ERSKINE proposed to be found in the case. . . . Lord ELLENEOROUCH said, that this was a dis tress on these goods of the Plaintiff as an occupier of premises, it being contended, that being e there only during the pleasure of the Crown, he was no such occupier. The case would try all that Chess . of cases that were like it, but not any.othei- case, and it was -an-important question to have deter-, mined ; for it applied to the cases of many persons in other Palaces, such as ait Kensington, and per haps- to other places. It was clear that the King's Palace was not rateable at all, as His Majesty's own residence, but whether some occupations, within such residence, may or may not be biteable; was a question which was in some measure ne ought ,► be decided. Al ', ao 1 A verdia was then . folind for . the Phintiit for zl.,•subjeCt to the opinion or th! Court upon a case to be stated ; which ease : is to be turned into a Special Verdict, if the .Court shall think tit, thi the parties shall desire it.

It appeared that a Sheriff's Officer had, at two ferent times, seized, tinder :a.d4tringas, somedee;ii and some' Cloaths belonging to Mr._Taylor, which . were at the house,of.Madame Banti but both these circumstances arose afLer the Return was :wade, which was the subjed of the preent action : the former' being made in November, zBol, ,anti the 'hitter in Decethber and Fel.ruary. following. It also appeared, that the wl,we property of Cita Opera House wa3 conveyed to Tru , ter, by a Dee dated in 1792, out of which an eq in:erest arose to Mr. Taylor in the boxes; This equitable interest was by a Deed, dated in 18o',1, conveyed Mr. Bib in in trust, with an exception in favour of eight boies which had .been. built since 1792, the rent and income arising from were to O.t received by Mr. Taylor, according to an express stipulation in the Deed, in lieu of all salary to him as Manager of the Opera House._ The party suing opt the Execution did not quire the Sheriff' to take possession of any interest Of Mr.'Taylor in the Opera e. The 3:tuff had taken a Bood.of Indemnity front the ,Trustees, and the question was, whether, under the'Circunistanees, - the interest of Mr. Taylor art the eight Boxes was of such a nature that the Sheriff could - legally, - and ought to have taken possession of it under a Writ of Exectition ? Lord ALVANIFY having some doubt as to the direction to'be given to the Jury respeaing the in .. terest of Mr: Taylor inr the eight Boxes, as it re dated -to -the-, present anion, it was agreed by the c..insel on bOth'sides to make a special ease for the minion of the .judges, upon this anal other point; invelyed in the 'cause.
