It ma h Y Y ne t, Perhaps, be generally known, p tl a ta r_ t 11 401 Pl ause iti an Act of the last Session o betty "1 ' vi z. 6 Geo. IV., c.114,§48,a11 intercourse bid:ieee J amaica and St. Domingo is strictly either N y e ") aod moreover, that if any vessel, Por t ls i ll I' Foreign, which has touched at any Do rt .4 the Ilaytian Republic, comes into any tort of Jarnaka and does not depart within tiv Y'e t i th hours after notice shall have been °b" I l e to do, such vessel will be forfeite d, together with her cargo, tackle, apparel, &c. and a like forfeiture is incurred if any person coming from St. Domingo shall be landed in Jamaica without the licence of the Governor first obtained. This clause would seem to nega tive the report above alluded to, because it threatens the very end it was the policy of the before-mentioned clause to prevent. That policy is sufficiently obvious, and if such a provision was deemed necessary before the issuing of tl•e Or dinance of the King of FRANCE, how much the more necessary must it be deemed now that the independence of the Black Republics is acknow ledged by that kingdom ? The generality of people judge of things by their effect, and therefore, however refined, or even just may be the distinction the French Mi nistry have anxiously endeavoured to draw be tween a treaty of recognition and the terms of the French Ordinance (which is nothing but a con tract of sale), it is clear its effect is to set St. Domingo free from the Sovereignty of France, and thus to rank her as one amongst the independent nations of the Globe. Such an example to the Blacks of Jamaica would not be very pleasing to their owners, or to the Government of the Mother Country ; and, when the vicinity of these two Islands to one another is considered, it becomes a matter of much mo ment to check as far as possible the spreading of those principles it was calculated to inspire. The force of this policy prevented the recogni tion of the independence of Ilayti by the British Government ; and it is plain, therefore, that the clause in the late Act of Parliament is distinctly opposed to the adoption of such a course as the foregoing rumour refers to. TARRAGONA, AUG. 25.—The Spanish schooner said to have been captured off this port on the 14th instant, by Columbian vessels of war, was taken by French cruisers. BLACK Guts.--It is much to be regretted that the Gentry in Hampshire and Dbrsetshire will not give any encouragement to the increase of this species of game ; a forbearance to shoot them for two or three years will be sufficient to raise such large quantities of them, as to afford, in future, annual sport equal to the wishes of the keenest sportsman. RoME, AUG. 18.—Lately arrived in Rome the Duke of Ale'ford, one of the ancient Peers of Scotland, who followed the fortunes of the Stuarts, and was Conclavist of Cardinal Bemis, at the time of the electio►► of Pope Pius VI. A few days ago arrived here the Reverend Father Lestrenge, Abbot of the Trappists in France.— This respectable Ecclesiastic, during the French Revolution, travelled through Russia, England, and the United Provinces of North America,and founded in the two last named countries some monasteries of his order. FRANKFORT, AUG. 29.—The Grand Duke of SAXE WEIMAR has notified to our Senate the happy accouchement of the Duchess IDA, wife of Duke BERNARD of SAXE WEIMAR, of a Prince, on the 4th, at Altenstein, near Lieben stein. Iler Royal Highness is a Princess of Saxe Coburg Meiningen.—A treaty has been concluded between the Duke of OLDENBURG and Count BENTINCK, relative to the Lordship of Kniphausen. In consequence of the various po litical events, the relations of this Lordship with the German Confederation are not precisely de termined, nothing having been decided respecting it either in 1813 by the Allied Powers, when the Duke of OLDENBURG took possession of Jever, with which Kniphausen had been united by the French, or subsequently by the Congress at Vienna. It is stated in letters from Ostend that a ves sel had arrived there on Friday from Port-au- Prince, the Captain of which stated, that imme diately after the public announcement of the re cognition of the independence or Hayti, some Dutch and English merchants, resident at Port au-Prince, waited upon the President, for the purpose of receiving some information as to the line of conduct which he intended to adopt to wards them. They were most graciously re ceived, and assured by the President that, not withstanding what had occurred, he had too high a respect for the energy and enterprise of the English and Dutch merchants to do any thing restrictive of their pursuits, without the most ab solute necessity ; and that they would find him ever disposed to strengthen the ties which alrea dy existed between them and the Haytian Re public. The packet-ship Canada sailed from Liver pool on the Ist inst. Among the passengers were, Bishop HOBART, of New York, and Professor PArrrsoN, of the University of Maryland. M. GIBEAU, the Attorney-General for the Court of Cassation in Paris, was seated on the bench yesterday with It. J. CHAMBERS, Esq. at Union-Hall, and seemed to take great interest in the proceedings. lie remarked that the mode of dispatching business before the English Police Ma gistrate differed very materially from the manner in which it was conducted in France. W ILIA AM WASHINGTON, a nephew of the cele brated WASHINGTON, has arrived from Malta, at Hydra.— This young officer of artillery, the inheritor of his uncle's vir tues, and tilled with the greatest enthusiasm for the struggle in which the Greeks are engaged against barbarians, has de cided on entering into the ranks of the Greeks, and has set out for Napoli di Romania for that purpose. Two hundred invalids were admitted last week out-pensioners of Chelsea Hospital. A regular corn and flour market is to be esta blished at Southampton. Faversham gunpowder mills are ordered to the hammer by the Board of Ordnance. Miss FooTE, it is said, has been engaged a t a liberal salary, for three years, by Mr. MORRIS, for the Haymarket Theatre. FRENCH FLEET in the WEST INDIES. The following is an extract of a letter which was received yesterday at the Jamaica Coffee house : " KINGSTON, JAMAICA, ATLI - 13.—The Scout sloop of war, Captain WIG sT ON, which arrived at Port Royal yester day from Barbadoes and St. Thomas's (the last in seven days), has brought information that a French fleet, consisting of 18 vessels, with pennants flying, and several transports, having troops on board, had sailed from Martinique for Cuba, to take possession of that island for and in the name of the King of Spain, so as to prevent its falling into the hands of the Colombians or Mexicans. Official information to that effect is said to have been communicated officially by the French Consul at St. Thomas's to the Governor of that island. _ _ _ The Hussar frigate, Captain Ilarris, was dispatched this morning, by Admiral Halsted, it is said, to put dispatches on board the Rinaldo packet, which sailed yesterday for England; and the frigate will afterwards proceed to the coast of Cuba, to ascertain at what ports the French will land; St. Jago, Trini dad, and the Havanna!' arc those conjectured here. The Thracian sloop of war sails in the morning for England with dispatches, and will touch at Havanna'', no doubt, to ascertain if any of thel fleet have arrived there. [This intelligence is much weakened, if not deprived of all credit, by the fact that the Thracian, after touching at Havan nah, which she left on the 23d of July, has since arrived at Portsmouth, and states that she saw nothing of this fleet. The French squadron is that which was last hard of at Port au-Prince.] ANECDOTES, &c. • ORIGIN OF THE TERM STERLING FOR MONEY.—In the time of Richard the First, money coined in the east parts of Germany came in special request in England, on account of its purity, and was called easterling money, as all the inha bitants of those parts were called Earterlings ; and soon after some of these people, skilled in coining, were sent for to Lon don, to bring the coin to perfection, which was soon called sterling from Easterling. King Edward the First established a certain standard for the silver coin of England ; but no gold was coined until the reign of Edward the Third, who, in the year 1320, caused several pieces to be coined called florences, because they were coined by Florentines. Afterwards he coined nobles, then rose nobles current at 6s. lid., half nobles at 3s. 4d., called halfpennies of gold ; and quarters at 20d., called farthings of gold. The succeeding Kings coined rose nobles, and double rose nobles ; great sovereigns, and half henry nobles, angels, and shillings. James the First coined unites, double crowns, and Britain crowns, shillings, sixpences, and inferior pieces. Charles the Second converted most of the ancient gold coins into guineas. CURIOUS TITLE OF AN OLD MANUSCRIPT.—" The earth generated and anatomized; wherein is shewen what the chaos was ; how and when the oyster-shells, cockle-shells, and all other marine productions, were brought upon and incorpo rated in the rocks and mountains of the earth ; proving that it was not at or by the Deluge, as is vulgarly supposed." OFFICIAL DISINTERESTEDNESS.—When King William entreated Mr. Locke to retain his place in the Commission of Trades and Plantations, although unable to give constant at tendance through ill health, that gentleman replied, that he could not in conscience hold a place to which such a salary was annexed without discharging the duties of it. Tuz PorTs or FRANCE.—The Journal des Debars of Friday informs us that.'" every province—every town in France possesses a crowd of Poets Prodigious ! as our old friend Dominic Sampson would say, but where the deuce do they all hide their works Crer NVIT.—The RECORDER of LONDON, at a city dinner, having been called upon for a song, regretted that it was not in his power to gratify the wishes of the company : a worthy Alderman, who was present, observed, that he was much surprised by the refusal of the learned person, as it was notorious that numbers had been transported by his voice. CROMWE LL's SoI.DIER.—A soldier, who had served in the Protector's army, after the Restoration was a tenant of an Irish Bishop, who knowing Ivhat the man had been, always severely reproached him with having supported the cause of an usurper. The veteran apologized on the plea of necessity, but the Bishop constantly resumed his reproaches when the man came to pay the rent. On the last occasion the Bishop said to his tenant, " Your old Master is gone to hell." The soldier, still keeping his temper, calmly answered, "I am sorry for it." " Sorry," said the Bishop, " for such a scoundrel !" " No," rejoined the soldier, " I am sorry on the Devil's account, for wherever Master is he'll be uppermost." YORK HOUSE. Much progress has been made in a very short time in this ' work. Our attention was early attracted by the particular mode of constructing the foundations, which, from the great bulk and weight of the materials employed, it might have been expected would have considerably retarded the advance of the • building. The excavation of solid ground, we understand, has been to the extent of above 6,000 cart-loads. The foundations consist of a great depth of brickwork, amply spread on both sides, to form a broad basis or footing for the superstructure. —Underneath these footings of brickwork are placed, ap parently throughout the building, large slabs of Yorkshire stone, and upon those slabs, in the middle of the brickwork, a continued cord or band of oak timber, at least eight or nine inches square, to equalize the pressure upon the sur face of the ground, and thereby to guard against the various degrees of solidity and insolidity in the soil itself, and prevent any partial or irregular settlement of the walls; in parts also where the ground consists of a loose sand, a further precau tion has been taken, in excavating to the depth of two or three feet previous to the laying of the Yorkshire stone, in order to create an artificial rock, by a mixture of sound gravel and quick stone lime, cemented together with water ; and in one part, even, piles of not less than three or four and twenty feet long have been driven. Adverting to the heavy and laborious nature of such works as these, it is surprising to see three fourths of the walls, internal and external, of this great build ing (faced on the outside with stone) raised to a height of above eighteen feet within the short period of six weeks from the time of laying the first stone. Messrs. Benjamin and Philip Wyatt, sons of his Majesty's late Surveyor-General, are the Architects. It is evident, front those parts which are already built, that York House is upon a magnificent scale. The centre compart ment, from its present appearance, seems intended to contain the principal staircase ; and if so, it will be a splendid feature of the interior, as, judging from surrounding objects, its dimen sions will be about 80 feet by 50, which, ascending (as it must do, on account of light) to the top of the building, affords a most spacious area for such a purpose. The space between this centre compartment and the line marked out by the North external wall appears not to be less titan fifty-five or sixty feet; and as it is evident that the approach to the centre (which is supposed to contain the staircase) will be through this North compartment of the building, the combined effect of the hall and staircase is likely to be very imposing. The number of Vessels captured by the British Navy between the years 1803 and 1814, was 1772, viz.— French - - 1162 American Spanish - - 162 Turkish Danish - - 199 Russian Dutch • - 122 26 Total 1772. GRAND SHIP CANAL TO ARUNDEL AND PORTS. mouTti.—A survey has been made by Mr. Cundie, the Engi neer, in contemplation of forming a Grand Ship Canal, from London, to Arundel Bay and Portsmouth ; navigable by line of battle ships, in a safe and expeditious manner, in 14 hours, to Spithead. The line of the projected Canal will commence on the south side of the Thames, at Itotherhithe, nearly oppo site the London and West India Dock, be continued to 11 , al worth Common, by Brixton Hill, to Tooting Common, be tween Tooting and Mitcham, by Morden, Ewel, Epsom, Lea therhead, Mickleham, Burford Bridge, Dorking, Holmwood Common, Oakley, Slingfold, Billinghurst, to the Tide-way of Pulborough and Arundel Town. A small branch then will run into the harbour of Arundel to the sea; it will pass by the line of the present barge canal, to Chichester Bay, Langston Harbour, and open into the sea, near Southsea Castle to Spit head. The mouths of Chichester harbour and Langston are to he closed. The width of the Canal is to be 150 feet, and the depth 30 feet. The sum to be raised will be four millions.— No enterprise of such magnitude has ever before been offered to subscribers. It is calculated that the annual receipts at 350,0001. is not an overcharged estimate ; but, on the contrary, that the probable income, when the Canal is completed, will be much greater. The cause of humanity will be essentially promoted by this Canal, in the preservation of human life; and the great loss of time occasioned by contrary winds, and the dangerous navigation of the Foreland, will be avoided, for ships are often detained in the Downs for weeks ; and in time of war, more than two months have elapsed before they reached the distance of Spithead. ROSSINI.-This eminent composer had nearly met with his death lately at Paris, by foolishly undertaking to eat fifty.:two ices in a given time. He devoured fifty, and fell ! While in thin country he laid a wager that he wou ld demolish a lobster in a few minuted ; but he had False to re pent his folly.--(3/orning Paper.) BRIGHTON, SEPT. 5. Yesterday morning the Duke of YORE: attended divine ser vice at the Chapel Royal, and heard a sermon preached by the Reverend Dr. Butcher, who however forbore on this occasion to treat his Royal Highness with an Anti-Catholic discourse. The chapel was extremely crowded, and the congregation of a very fashionable description , _ as it always is at this place of worship. The Duke of York sat in the royal pew, with Gen. Armstrong and Col. Anson ; his Royal Highness looked ex tremely well, though somewhat thinner in person. After chapel his Royal Highness took an airing on horseback, going up the East Cliff.—This morning the Duke of York was again on horseback after breakfast, at an early hour. His Royal High ness passed through Castle square a few minutes after ten o'clock, and down the Steine, attended by a single groom, and received as he went along the affectionate and respectful greetings of the spectators. Among the arrivals here is alt us sian Princess, who is stayin g with her suite at one of the hotels. The steam-packet brought from France, the last time she ar. rived here, upwards of 70 passengers, among whom were the Count and Countess de Cruismore and Lady Syrr ; and on her return to Dieppe took Lady W. Fitzgerald, with about forty othe passengers. The Russian Ambassador is also arrived.— The Marquis of Granby (the Duke of Rutland's youngest son and heir), with the Ladies Manners, have left for town. The Speaker of the House of Commons is still here. Lord Stanley, Lady Moncaster, Lady Cowper, Sir Robert Williams, and the Rev. Sir R. Wolseley, are also among the recent arrivals. Lord and Lady Elliott have left. ~__, ~.,1- ,O )--- ~....: . ~ ....,. . ..., /..r_. , ... .„, ~. e.,‘.... ... A , .......„,....,0,,„1,., ~..‘.. t .i....x.t.„....... .

M.P. from Worthing.—At Fen ton's Hotel—James Burners, Esq. from Suffolk.—At Gould's lintel, Jermyn-street—Colonel Moore, from Paris—At Miller's Hotel, Jermyn-street—Count Chabot, from Paris. A dinner was given at Ayr to the Marquis of 'IASI' mos on Wednesday last, for which the public rooms in the county buildings of that town were fitted up in a very splendid style. The Earl of Glasgow, Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire, was in the Chair : the Marquis of Hastings, the Lord Justice Clerk, Sir Andrew Cathcart, and other distinguished characters took their seats on his left hand ; and the Duke of Portland, Lord James Stewart, the Provost of Ayr, Sir James Montgomerie, Cun ninghame, &c. &c. on the right. Sir D. H. Blair acted as Croupier, with Lord liawdon and the Earl of Eglinton being seated on his right and left. More than one hundred Noble men and Gentlemen of the highest rank and distinction in the county filled the seats surrounding the tables. A Miss Cranstone, who eloped with Captain G-, from Streatham, on Friday last, was overtaken at Canterbury, supp ing with her inamorato the same night, and was safely conveyed back home by her brother. They were traced front Croydon, which they left in a single horse chaise. The intention to open a new French Theatre at the Argyll Rooms is abandoned, the Lord Chamberlain, it is said, having refused the application ibr a license, although it was supported by some of the very first personages in the fashionable world. Their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Leinster are expected to arrive in Edinburgh this week. The Earl of Cardigan still remains at the White Hart, St. Alban's, though in an improving state of health. He has re ceived every attention from the Earl and Countess of Verulam, to the latter of whom he is distantly related. On Friday evening last, their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland and suite, arrived at Dodsworth's, the Queen's Head Inn, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where they stopped all night. Prior to their entering the town, their Graces were met on Gateshead-fell, by a numerous body of the Noble Duke's tenantry, on horseback, headed by Mr. George Wea therby, who was the first that had the honour to felicitate his Grace upon his safe return from his mission to the French Court. The bells of all the Churches at Newcastle welcomed with their merriest music, the arrival of these distinguished personages ; and it was at a late hour in the night before the jocund sounds entirely ceased. On the following morning, the Right Worshipful the Mayor (Henry Cramlington, Esq.) had the honour of an audience with their Graces, to express the ex treme gratification which he and the other Members of the Body Corporate had in again seeing their highly esteemed Lord Lieutenant and his amiable Duchess within their walls. As a further compliment to his Grace, who had so recently upheld the dignity of the King, as his Representative at the Court of Charles X., in a most princely style, a salute of 21 guns was fired from the old castle at 10 o'clock, and the merry notes of the bells again enlivened the car with their music. When the Duke anti Duchess were about quitting the Queen's Head, for Alnwick-castle, between ten and eleven o'clock, a consider able number of horsemen (tenants upon the Northumberland estates), headed by Mr. Laws, one of his Grace's Commission ers, and Hugh Taylor, Esq., made their appearance, as an escort to the noble family of Percy, as far as Morpeth. This respectable body received the Duke and Duchess uncovered, while they made the welkin ring again with their loud and hearty huzzas, in which they were joined by a large concourse of people who had assembled to witness the highly gratifying spectacle. It is justly the pride of Englishmen that they are ever ready to do homage, to exalted virtue and benevolence.— ( Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Sept. 3.) Lord IIELVILLE has been frequently engaged during the last seven days in measuring and inspecting the ground to the west of the Dock-yards at Leith, on which the Naval yard is intended to be situated. INDEPENDENCE OF lIAYTI.—A letter from Port-au-Prince, of the 12th July, says—" An entertainment was given yesterday evening by the President to the Baron de Mackau and the officers of the French squadron. The whole was splendidly got up, and the greatest order and good humour preserved. The toasts after dinner were—' Charles X.;' ' The Presi dent of Hayti ;" France and Hayti—mother and daughter;' and from a distinguished Senator, with a great deal of emphasis and feeling, May we never cease to feel in ourselves, or to impress on our posterity, that we owe our present situa tion, our existence as a nation free and inde pendent, to the aid given us by commerce from England, America, and Germany.'

A Shoting Match took place on Thursday last, on the estate of the Marquis of Salisbury, at Hatfield, who betted Sir John Sebright he would name four Gentlemen who shouhlkill 100 brace of birds in one day, only one gun in use at a time. Sir C. Cuyler, the Hon. M. de Roos, H. E. D. Radcliffe, Esq., and Samuel Whitbread, Esq., 1.P., were named as the par ties. Sir C. Cuyler took the field at six o'clock, and, on the Marquis's farm, killed 24 brace in one hour and a quarter.— Mr. Whitbread followed in the Home Park, and in an hour and a half killed 11 brace and a half. Sir C. Cuyler then shut on Pope's Manor one hour and 20 minutes, and killed 27 brace and a half. Mr. W. re-entered the Park, and in one hour and a half killed 14 brace. Mr. Ratcliffe shot upon Pope's Manor for half an hour, and killed eight brace. Mr. de Roos, in the Park, one hour, killing 16 brace ; Mr. Ratcliffe followed in the Park for one hour, and killed 10 brace, making a total killed of 11l brace in eight hours, thereby winning the wager in two thirds of the time specified. It should be observed, that no parts of the Park were beat where the birds might be supposed to be tame. The Marquis of Salisbury, Colonel Roharts, and others, witnessed the whole of the sport, Sir J. Sebright, with great promptness and good humour, discharged the bet. PEDESTRIANISM. Mr. Frampton, the celebrated from Barnes, un dertook yesterday at day-break to walk, fair heel and roe, from the 4 to the 16 mile-stone, on the Seven Oaks real, in 2 hours, for a wager of 100 sovereigns. He performed the first three miles in 29 minutes—the second in 29 minutes, 50 seconds—tire third in 30 minutes, 2 seconds—and the fourth in 30 minutes : winning the match, with more than a minute to spare, and without being the least distressed. Townsend the pedestrian, on Tuesday commenced his task of walking from Hereford to Ledhury and back, and to Ross and back, so as to make 64 miles a-day, for ten successive days. —He is not walking for a wager, but relies entirely upon the public benevolence. RINGWOOD.—The rural sports on Monday last attracted a numerous and respectable assemblage of spectators, among whom we noticed several distinguished sporting characters. The Silver Cup, given by Captain Mills, of the S.H.Y.C. and run for by horses belonging to the Ringwood Troop, was won by Mr. T. King's b. m. Sober Fanny (which was also the winner last year), beating three others the second horse was entitled to 31., and the third to 21.—The Town Subscription Purse of 10 sovereigns, for horses not thorough bred, was won by Mr. S. Ayles's c. m. Copper Bottom, beating five others. A Sub scription Purse of five sovereigns, for ponies, 13 hands high, was won by Mr. J. Day's Peeping Tom, beating three others. —A bridle and saddle given for 11-hand ponies, was won by Mr. Pinhorn's Flying Jack.—The different heats on the whole were well contested, and the pleasures of the day were consider ably augmented by the attendance of the Harmonic Band, which performed many excellent and superb pieces of music. The liberality with which the sporting gentlemen of the neigh bourhood and the inhabitants of the town have come forward to support these annual amusements, with the judicious arrange ments on the course, cannot rail to render them highly popular . and attractive. The different club and gaming-houses are now nearly deserted ; and the sharpers who frequent the latter may be daily seen parading tit. James's-street, with faces as lung as their tailor's bills,
