THERE is reason to believe that another Revolu tion has, taken place in the unfortunate Island of St. 1)i - ningo. The last accounts that reached us stated, that CHRISTOPHE had been appointed President, and at the same time we received the New Constitution , \ of Hayti. An American Paper of the 17th of April, Itaa . .v:e'ver, contains an Article purporting to an Emma from the Journal of the Senate' of Hayti, of the, 9th of March, in which PaTioti appointed President in the , room of: CHRIS- Tpl , Int : it states, that " since the Rebellion of iiy.t.CltYCfirisroPHE, nominated President of Hayti, by the Constitution Assembly, the Presidency hAd been vacant,. and that it became-necessary to proceed to the EleCtion of a- ❑ew President without delay." The anniversary of this day has always been gra tifying to every Britoil who knows the value 'of a goo,l'KlNc, but it MuSt afford particular pleasure on the present occasion, as our excellent Sovereign has lately colne for Ward in such a manner as to prove thai.nothing can impair his attachment to the COn siitution, -and'his sense of the sacred obligations in to' which he entered with his people when he as sumed that throne on whiCh'he has reflected so much lustre.: This day, we doubt pot, will be distinguish ed by every attestation ofloyalty that a grateful peo ple can sheW towards a Monarch who is as firmly supported by ,their atiedionS, as by the rights which he inherits from his Ancestors, arid which he has maintained. with.sd ninch houolir to himself, and happiness to the Empire. • • . .

She is one of the finest Ships of 'her class, ancti built on an entirely new construaion, without kneeS . , on a plan approved of by the Navy . and AkiOrally Boaids, and is highly spoken of by professional men, as being much lighter and stronger, and occupyin g lds room thati the usual mode of ship-building.

The Gazette De Varsovie, up to the t.Sth of May, Contains nothing bUt the uninteresting details of the militaryoperaiions in Poland ; .in the relation of which, the same* sounding words are employed which are used in conveying the most important in forMation. Voluminous extra&s are given from the' oration of 4WoßoilicA, Canon of. Warsaw, made on the 3d_ of May, 1791., - The orator' labours to establish two points ; to spew that the present-war s a so, t of a continuation of the ancient conflict for the ancient freedom of the Poles against' the-Russians land Prussians ; and - that ,BONAPAKTE is the chosen Mail' of God for delivering the world from bonda g e. The servility of the adulation poured forth borders . on blasphemy.' We never were,,nor never eau be, vindicators of the division of Poland ; yet we cannot deny the fad, ascertained. beyond all doubt, 'that the : mischief : of this event _has been''felt every. 'where rather than in Poland itself. , Public.jnstice,-and the respeft due to independent States, received a mortal wound.; and. by weakening the public estimation of Princes and Courts, a plausibility wits given 'to the . declamations :61 the French Revolutionists :raid thus the punishment has fallen upon the headS of 'the; adors. But, at the same time, we are persuaded' that the rnws of the people of Poland hate gained by the change. The oppressive rights of the Nobdity over the peasantry were destroyed,; and the :liberty of the people was maintained by the subjugation of the aristocracy. This is, unquestionably, the rea son why BONAPARTE has hitherto succeeded so ill (in spite of all his high sounding itwitutions _and. appointments) in rousing the Poles to fight, his battles.

Henry Lascelles - 99.13 Lord Milton - 9835 There is one passage in a letter 'front Mr. PAULL ; addressed to .Sir FRANCIS BURDETT ; Which bears .very hard upon --the charaCier of the latter, as no answer.was-cgien respe&iug the point iii quesii()n: Mr. PAULL reminds Sir FRANCIS; that on the road to' town,- - after ; the duel . , c' a- solethn. , pledge was ;exchanged between Ahern; that the. pates„that had pased, and which led -to the unfOrtunate affair,' should be-mutually destroyed.:! -- Mr. PAULL-de-. Glares,, that his' part of-the pledge was performed- in the presence of two of his friends,; and he properly .01 - AerveS, that it remains with ,Sir FRANCIS to .ex plain by.what means. Mr. HoaNE TooKE became possessed-of one of the papers that was to hare been _ :destroyed; and. which the latter has since published: - Sir FRANCIS dOes, not . deign to ansWer this letter, of Mr. PAULL hirris-lf, but commissions his brother to signify - to Mr. WOLSELEY (Mr. PAULL'S friend) that ' after what had passed; Sir FRANCIS must decline all further-communication with Mr.; PAULL. • N O W, it is- evident. that if no such pledge had. passed as Mr. PAULL mentioned, Sir FRANCIS -would ; in viridica Lion of his own cbndu&, have disavowed it ;. and • not having done so, it is certainly incumbent on him' . to explain how the pledge was violated. Mr. HoRNE TOOKE indeed thinks proper to declare, that-he-did - not obtain the letter in question " by the meartS ; or ,with the consent or knowledge, of Sir FRANCIS BUR- , , DETT, or his brother ;" but Mr. HORNE ToortE'S credit for veracity is certainly not so high in publia estimation, as' to be at all .satisfatiory on a poin( t hat s 6 nearly cows erns the charaeler of Sir FE, A N,C I S BURDETT.

After dinner the, usual toasts Were drank among others, the health of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT', and the Eleaors of Weqminster, having been hancl ed up to the Chair by Mr. CLIFFORD, was proposed:, when Mr. W. SMITH begged leave to submit a few remarks on time subje&. He had no objeaion to 'drink the. health of Sir FRANCIS BuRDETT as a friend or an individual, but by no means wished that it should be coupled with the Electors of Westminiter, as that circumstance would imply the concurrence of the Westminster Electors with the sentiments avowed in the Baronet's late Address': He had .voted .himself for Sir FRANCIS BURDETT ; but con,lemned, in the most positive terms,' the condua .of Sir FRANCIS since his 'Eleolion, and would cer tainly have withheld his vote had he expealed lhatthe 4leelors would have been insulted by such an Address.-After some observations froth' Mr. CLIFFORD, in which he took an opportunity of complimenting Mr. SMITH on his political condu&; the Chairman said, he thought it his duty, from the Satiation \ he held, to propose the toast that bad been handed up to him ; bUt Gentlemen were at\liberty to drink' it, or not, as they pleased. The toast was accordingly drank by about forty or fifty, with some huzzas. . . The Citizens Of London have shewn a, due sense of loyalty, and a proper regard to merit, in raising Mr. BIRCH to the rank of Alderman.
