SOLLM SETS DICERS EALSUM APDZAT LC)N D 0 N, UG US T 30, 11SOz, WE this morning received the Moniteur of the 26th inst. which merely contains an account of the organiz ition of the National Gendarmerie of the Island of St. Domingo, which are to consist of Four Legions. • The Funds are at 51. 40. Yesterday arrived at the East-India House, Mr. J. C. REDING, Purser, of the Honourable Com: parry's Ship Duke of Buccleugh ; also the Purserof the, Preston, which Ships they left off the Isle 'of Wight, in company' with the Walpole. The Jost -Office Mails for the Cape of Good Hope by the Carteret, and for Botany Bay by, the Glutton, Will not be closed till to-morrow, at which time a bag will. 'also be made up for Bermu-r da, to . be conveyed out by the Experiment, the only vessel we believe, going thither from England for some time. Such of the Eight West India Regiments as ap pear to have been least criminal in the late Mutiny, at Dominica, are to be' sent to Halifax, and to the East Indies ; great numbers have been executed.— The other eleven Regiments are, it is stated, in a short time to be sent to the East Indies. Colonel GROSVENOR, acccompanied by his bro ther and a party of Gentlemen, has been canvassing the City of Chester, •for the vacancy occasioned by Lord BE LORAV E'S succession to the title of Earl GROSVENOR. The Norfolk Scrutiny: was • expeEted finally to clime on Saturday. By thelist accounts, Sir J. ASTLEY had increase& his injority over Colonel I/Von. EHOUsE tO 107. Four Troops of the 16th Dragoons are on their route from Salisbury to Liverpool, for the purpose of, embarking for Ireland. The remainder of the Royal Dragoons at present in the King's Barracks at Canterbury, will march from thence to-morrow ; four, Troops of the 4th Dragoons will replace them in the course of the week. 'ln consequence of remonstrances male to' our Government, that several persons guilty of assassi nation, and many flagrant crimes in France, were allowed to reside at Jersey, orders, it is said, were sent to that dsland t,o make. the striaest inquiry after such persons, and four of them have been ar. rested, and brought to Southampton, to be' deli vered up.. Five more are supposed to have gone to the Coast of France, and there is not a doubt that they will not be permitted to return to Jersey. 'ln addition to those specified under , the Treaty 'of Amiens, seventeen persons, Chouans or EMigrants, have been brought from Jersey to SouthamptOn, in order to be sent out of . the kingdom as aliens. Nineteen still remain, it is said, ,Who are likewise to be brought to England. The. Yellow Fever has occasioned coosiderablc mortality at the' Canash, in Grenada: Many ves sels lost the whole of their crews .there. The late excessive mortality in the Island of Tri nidad is supposed to have been occasioned by the heavy and incessant rains which immediately pre ceded it. _Several of the English settlers at Martinique are removing to Trinidad. .During the insurrection of the Biack.s in Guada_ loupe, most of the plaultatiims: in Basseterre and Cabesterre were destrut ed:w:They even' pulled the coffee and-cotton trees iiinnonftithe ground, and cut them in pieces. Of the 4,4.00 French troops th a t were landed in that Island, more..than half had died previous' to the 17th Of June. The Colony cannot recover the damage it has sustained for some years. Rum and molasses are its only present articles of export. General LACROSSE, who commanded at Guada oupe, has the Government of Tohago. General LECLERC seems to have made short work with the Negroes after he contrived to over-reach TOUSSAINT. We are told that he has made some examples of severe justice, and that he has been able to free the Colony from a great number of bad charaaers. That he rules the Colony with a strong hand. can hardly be doubted, but the worst of the business is,' that he alone decides' upon the bad charade?'l of those of whoth he rids the Colony, and that he combines •the offices of fudge and jury. • Lord CA7/AN's projc't of sending Cleopatra'.! Needles to England, for the expence , of which large subscriptions had been raised,is at an end. General Fox, who commands in the Mediterranean, having heard that his Lordship was every day sending home pieces of granite, porphyry, &c. &c, gave orders that no more stones should be put on board of any vessel sailing from Egypt. The consequence is, that the Needles remain where they were, and the money which 'the Officers subscribed, has been re tllrned to them. All the furniture, cattle, farming utensils, camp equipage, &c. of the late Generalf WASkiINGTON, were sold by- autOuni4briliblint Vernon, on the zoth ult. , ji 1,-.)nif-urn(,. Letters from Plymruilh state; that on Wednesday last, at half-tide, an immense. hoar rushed through the sluice of the Pier-head, drove all the moll craft adrift, and retired as suddenly .as it rushed in, with out doing any damage. A - similar circumstance cc ctirred at that Port, previous to the Lishon Earth, (puke, in /755, and previous to .the .the EaTthquike at Q4ito, in South -America, in 1781. . IV 41 V It 1-4 A' rr J.

The• Ranger was at the time employed in conveying volunteers from Deptford to Sheerness, and providentially all the powder was taken out, except such as was kept for the sentinels—this caught fire, and exploded with great violence, setting the ship in flames ; she was saved by scuttling the decks, 'and half filling her with water-The prisoner was , found guilty. of negligence, severely reprimanded, and malaed four months pay.

He then threw himself again into the sea, and regained the shore : he returned some time afterwards with Pilots, by which means the English Vessel, Crew, and Soldiers, were preserved.

TIIL AIONITEUR. •The Moniteur still. attacks the English- Press, and perseveres in its declarations, that' our Go: . vernment permits a set of wretches who are guilty of assassinations in France, to find an asylum in Jersey. It is icpossible that the CHIEF CON stn, can give any credit to declarations so injurious to the British Government, antl,,so inconsistent wiz!' its acknowledged character. We • are surpriie,i, therefore, as The Moniteur is to be considered, as , an Official Journal, that he does -not at once suppress such malevolent and such improbable libels upon the Government of a State with which he is in amity. He ought to know, and he really cannot but know, that the freedom of the Press in this Country is one of the darling privileges .of Englishmen, It 'is a priVilege which, like a ll ot h er human enjoy_ . ments, is often abused ; but though Englishmen are conscious of the frequency of the abuse, they view with the utmost jealousy any attempts to re strain it, and too much vigilance on the part of our Government in noticing the produftions of the Press, would only expose that Government to • general Odium. But this is not the case :vitt) the CH I E CONSUL whose authority over the Press is uncontrol. able, And therefore by not suppressing the attacks of French Journals on the British Government, he exposes himself to the suspicion of giving a sanc tion to them. The charge then, which 'has been made upon the licentiousness of the Press, applies with much greater force to the French than to the British Government, for one can restrain the Press immediately with the strong arm of Power, but the other cannot make the attempt without exciting popular alarm, and lessening the security of an essential prop Of. British Freedom. Away then, with all these " paper bullets of the brain " on• the part of France, and as we have put an end to the horrors of War, let both sides forbear from the prosecution of such pitiful hostilities as are carried on by the French Journals. , Mr. TIERNEY, according to the account of a, French Paper, seems ro havemadelan extraordinary.

On the Sunday he landed' at Boulogne, on the Monday he arrived at Calais, and the folldw.: ing morning sailed. for- Dover. if a Putriot-cotthi ever be guilty of gaming, it might be suppo se d t h at this Gentleman went to France merely on.account of a rz.vager. Sir FRANCIS BURDEIT has _proposed to Mr. BYNG, that a Dinner shall be held at the London Tavern, in honour of their Joint-Eledion for the County of Middlesex, and that Tickets shall be is sued for the accommodation of a Thousand Persons. This proposal has embarrassed Mr. 13YtiG, who, it seems, was willing enough to avail him Self of the Baronet's interest, to promote his own Return w Parliament, but who now strives.: to draW a line between the Political Party to whom he has gene rally attached himself, and the furious Believers in the outrageous Creed of his Colleague. The Bttß. DiTTITES are aware of this relklance 'on the part .of Mr. BYNG, and, no longer wanting the support of his kntere:it for Elealonee'ring phrposes, they wish to oblige him to come forward unefaivocallj• This is a vexatious predioment for Mr. 131 - NG, and it is certainly the 'result of a mischievous trick ,of the BURbETTITES ; but nobody who seriously, ob. , served the whole proceedings of the late MiddleseX Eledion, can regret that he is placed in so 'awkward , a situation. The Irish Viceroy was so pleased with his Enter• taintnent at the Mansion. House, a few days since, that, after his carriage arrived, at nine o'clock, the hour he had appointed for hig departure, he direded that it should go home, and 'return for , him at eleven.
