COMM), had,- Punuant to the orders of the Commander in Chief, disembarked a number of troops at Miragoane. The rebels were shortly compelled to abandon that post, as well as that of Ante-a-Vrastr, and to retreat into the interior with considerable loss. The Black General, LA PLUM*, so distinguished by his fidelity, has acquired new rights to the es. Teem of the army, by the important services he has rendered,. with the Slack troops under his cunt. wand. The Commander in Chief speaks in high terms of the Chefs de Brigade, NEIL ErrE and DI EUDONNI ; the Chtfsde Battalion, Sr as.err ex, and DEL, eciirs and of the Captain DMIX, as remaining strictly faithful to the OovernMent. Yn eonseiuence of the measures adopted by the commander in Chief, it is said, that the Sri. 'rends ate driven to a considerable distance from the .boundary of the Southern part of the Island, a quar ter in which ttanquillity is so fir established, that the troops arrived from Europe arc only to be em. 10 0 i'ed in the western quarter.—(ilioniteur). Bettter, MAitott 29. The day before yesterday has been one of terror and alarm to us. Some time since a kind of agitation or ferment was observed among the . troops, for which, their pay being in .. areal., was deemed to be the cause, or the pretext. 'he 27th was the day fixed by the troops for the settlement to take place. Measures of precaution were adopted by the Government. The first bat. Italian of the.4.2d, which was to have departed on that day, received orders to remain ; and. three companies of the battalion, Clavel, which had just arrived from the Italian Cantons, were posted near .• the_ gate of Soleure. The 26th, about half past seven in the evening, the SWisi Commandant of the place received in. 4ortnation, that the soldiers were in a state of in surreffion in the barracks, and that many of them bad already forced the barriers. He repaired im. tifediatel to the Chef de Brigade of the 6th regi. root of Ytench Chasseurs, and induced him to order out *roles of Cavalry, to arrest such Swiss Sol. diets as were found in the streets and public.houses. At ten o'clock the Commandant received further information, that the Helvetic Soldiers had fired on the French patroles across the barriers of the • Barracks, and- bad wounded several Soldiers..—At three.quarters -past ten the Helvetic Hussars.joined, the two in sur g ent b atta lion s , an d s ounded a charge. 'lmmediately thetagreater part of these Battalions rushed out with 'their arms, shouting and beating the Generale as they advanced ; they proceeded With an intention to seize the arsenal, anti to force the gates of 'Arbor', and Fribourg ; but finding those parts well secured they retreated. At eleven o'clock'the Generale was beat on all sides, and the French Troops ran to the alarni posts. The Insur. gents seeing themselves surrounded, retired within their barracks. They were afterwards paid, and ~: o rd'er was reestablished. ..On the 27th, at Eve in t he morn i ng , a ll the Gar. iison was ordered unties arms, a nd a Counsel of W a r ;was held. Tw o hu ssars , a grenadier of the second battalion, and eight artillerists were examined. At half alter eleven the grenadier, who. it was affirm. ed, threatened to strike General. VatarrisitkyseD, was condemned to die, and was immediately shot. The trumpeter who. sounded the charge, was also Condemned to die, but the Counsel of Revision EOM- PlUted the. sentence to Z 4 years iinprisonmetat in irons ; a brigadier of hussars was sentenced to ten years in irons. The eight artillerists against'whnm the charges were different. were sentenced to ac: company their Corps it, a state of arrestation.' At two o'clock in the afternoon . * the Helvetic Troops departed for M a r n a, and at present the greatest 'tranquillity reigns in the City.

The Libel upon His BRITANNIC MAJESTY', which appeared at full length in the Hamburgh Paper* of the 30th ult. and which was before that wisely modified by the Syndic and Censor of the Press, was, it is said, previously communicated to Sir GEORG4I RV)43OL D , the British Charge d'Affaires, who is reported to have answered, that if the Senate was forced to consent to the insertion of such communications from the French Govern. nuns, they. must of course do the same justice to such articles at he, Sir GEORGE, might receive from his Government, an.l publish them accord. ingly. This wretched lampoon had the effeet of raising the present prices of Insurance from 5 to to per cent. as well as the prices of coffee and sugar.

The following Letters will skew what has hitherto been the result of his mission. UTTER FROM M. DE BUM TO THE ENOLISH MT- NISTRIR AT MALTA. " MONS. THI ZNOLISII " i had the Honour this morning of stating to your Ex cellency, the object of the mission with which I am charged; to which you replied, that you had no orders to evacuate Malta, and that gave me to understand that the Grand Mas ter had better not repair thither. After having rattled up. on this answer, which was not so satisfaaory as His High ness ex peaed, it seemed to me that it required further explanation. As your Excellency's Answer appeared to contain a refusal to restore Malta to the Order of Saint john of Jerusalem, conformably to the Tenth Article of the Treaty of 'Amiens, and as such a viola tion of the Treaty might lead to the most important consequences, and..even the most fatal to the repose of Eu• rope; I cannot remain satisfied with the verbal answer you have given me, and I therefore request you to state in a public and authentic manner, the motives of this unexper t. ed refusal. " 1 have the honour to recall to the recolleCtion of your Excellency, that conformably to the 4th l'aragraph of the loth. Article of the Treaty of Amiens, the Forces of llis Bit TAN lc NIA) istir were to Evacuate that Island and its Dependencies in three months after the Ratifies tion of the Treaty, or sooner if possible. That period has expired some time. The Treaty adds, that " The Island is to be restored in its present state, provided the Grand Master, or his Commissaries fully authorized acc.iad. to take possession of it, _ant! provided the Troops 'Which His Ste LI Al 4 M4O t sty is to furnish shaft have atriVecl.". Those Troops have arrived a long time, and the only . Condition reinaining to be fulfilled, Was thd arrival of the Grand Master, or his Commissaries; to Ulm possession, „I This Condition is now accomplished by my arrival:-- The Grand Alastzr has deigned to appoint and his Ambas sador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, " to treat, con clude, accomplish, and concert with the English and French Ministers Plenipotentiary, and with tho actual 'English Government in the Island, upon all the Articles rela tive to the restoration of Religion to..thgAsland of Malta; as well as upon the restoration of the placeal Such are the terms of the full powers'with which I am vested, and of whiCh I have seat you 'a Copy. According to the tenor of these full powers, and the different sti pulations of the Treaty of Amiens, being accomplished for the restoration of the Island of Alalta id the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, I demand formally , the execution of the loth Article, paragraph 4, of the said Treaty, and I beg that I may receive a categorical answer. " Accept the assurance of my high consideration. (Signed) " EUSSY." THE ANSWER OE M. Tilt ENGLIcH MINISTER TO M. THE COMMANDER HUSSY. " Malta, March; 11103. " stR, " I have received the letter which your Excellency did me the Honour to write to me, in which some dissatisfaction is expressed at my verbal communication respecting the ()Wed of your Mission ; and in which it is demanded that I should' detail in writing my reasons for refusing to deliver up the Government of these Isles, on the arrival of His Eminence the Grand Master of the Order of St. john of Jerusalem. " In reply, I beg leave to observe, that as some Of the Powers invited by the terms of the loth Article of the Treaty of Amiens to guarantee the Independenee of Malta, have not yet acceded to that measure, I do. not think myself au thorized to put an end to the Governinent of His BRITAN NIC MAJ&STY here, until I receive special Instruftions from my Court. 44 Your Excellency will observe, that I wish to dissuade , the Grand Master from coming to reside here. Your Excel- , lency may recoiled that I spoke to you on that subjefl, to the following purport " On your observations, that_ the Grand Master reckoned on having immediate pOssession of the Palace of GoVernment, and the Fort of • %Janette, I informed yoL4 that under the present eireumstaucers, I could not accede to the desire of His. Eminence, ,it being absolutely necessary that His Excellency General Nil LLITTE and myself should con tinue the Palace for the official business of our respective departments. 44 I request, however, to recall to your Excellency's re membnuice, that .1 altered at the Wile time the Palace of Boschetta for the residence of the Grand Master, a situation which I conceived to be in every respell suitable to His Eminence, until the period when he might take upon him the direction of the Government. " But as the Palace of lioschetta is not at present furnish ea,. I took the lib*rty to suggest that it would be more suit able to remain some ;Wm in: Sicily, and so much the more so, a►s the then residence of his Eminence would be but a day's voyage from this Island, " M to any thins further, His Eminence may . be as. sired that the moment I think myself authorized to deliver up theCevernment, 1 wilt intrrrt him of it. ."

L" The EMPEROR, of GER z t IANY and the EMPEROR of Russt A-, have for a long time guaranteed .the. In dependence of the Island and Order of Malta. The only Power which had not given a decided answer to the request that was made upon that subjetl, was the KING of PRUSSIA.
