THE Gazette or last night ,Epntained the Official Details of the Surrenderof the ;li:rench Force in St. Dom;frgo, the arrivarof which we announced two or three days ago. These our Readers will find at length under the Head of the London Gazette. The condua of General ROCE3ANISEATJ is charafteriz,7tl by out Officers as extraordinary, and indeed' it se:no to have been so in a great degree. After hal: irg proposed to Surrender to the. English on terms were ioadmissible,.he forms a Capitulation vt DE,- sAr..l tkrgs the Black Chief, by which his Army were to embark on board his Ships and Transut ts,'in the hope of making their esc ,pe to France. This scheme, however, was rendered abortive by the vigilance and perseverance with which our Squadron maintained the Blockade in the midst of tempestuous weat her, and it was owing to the critical interference of British humanity, that the whole of the French were pre , . served from being sunk at their anchors by the red hot shot of ;the _much injured and indignant Blacks. The Evacuation of St. Domingo 16 an event which places the British and French charadzrs in their true point of view, and no Englishman can read the details without a feeling of self-congratulation. Sir THONZAS DuC.KWORTH'S Dispatches furnish some details of Captures highly honourable to the gallantry and professional abilities of the Officers concerned. The Extrait.,of a Dispatch from Governor NORTH, of the Island of Ceylon, does not afford us equal satisfailton. It confirms the account which we had received of the murder of the Garrison of Candi, who were attacked in the midst of a Truce, o❑ the 24th of June. The Commandant, Major DAVIE, unfortunately capitulated on the following day, and marched out of the Fort with all his force, soon after which the European Soldiers, forty in number, were murdered in cold blood. The Ma. lays and Native Troops were spared. Major -DA. vrt, a Captain of Artillery, and four Malay Offs. cers were carried off, and their fate was unknown. Governor NORTH seems to blame the conduit of Major DAvt c, who probably may never ap.. pear to vindicate or explain his conduit. It is some satisfailion to perceive that no spirit of defeition prevailed in the Malay Regiment, though a few desertions had taken place from Candi. We hope that this misfortune, melancholy as it is in its circumstances, will not at all endanger the safety of the British Establishment in the Island of Ceylon. A large reinforcement of Artillery sailed faom this Country in the Windham and Walpole East Indiarnen, which must have reached its desti. nation soon after the date of Governor Norm's Dispatch. One Hamburgh and one Gottenburz Mail arrived this morning. The following are their principal contents. .61. tv VIENNA, J AN.

MENTZ, JAN. 2t.--The Minister of Justice has ordered search to he made after an Englishman of the name of BROU GI-ITO N ho has escaped from Brussels by means of a Piss for Germany intended for another person. By orders from high authority, the death of the late KING of FRANC E, of which. this -is the anni versary, is no longer to,be pubViy noticed, and still less celebrated. • , BANKS OF THE MEIN, JAt. 18.-Tile Gazette of Aschafenburg has just publiShed a remarkable Paper relative to the Equestrian Order. This is a Note remitted on the Is -di of December by Citizen TALLEYRAND, Minister for Foreign AiThirs, to Baron WACHTER at Paris. It is to the following purport : The First Consul, firmly resolved to preserve the politi. cal existence of the immediate Equestrian Order, has charged (agreeable to the declaration already transmitted to Count CoBENT zEi.) his MiniSter at Munich, to do every thing which may be necessary to put an end to all attempts and ads of violence which the Eleelor has permitted himself against the immediate Equestrian Order. Ile has also caused an energetic declaration, to the same purport, to be made to M. de CETT o. The Minister is fully convinced from these dispositions, that the Ele6lor will hasten to - render to the Equestrian Order full and entire justice." The same Gazette contains likewise the follow. ing Paragraph : " His Highness the Arch-Chancellor Eledor, resolved to fulfil his duties as Seigneur Suzerain, will protect to the utmost of his power the Members of the Equestrian Order against every ad of violence. He will demand the ;Aid of the Tribunals, and denounce to the Emperor and the General Diet all attaLks and infringements of whatever nature they may be. The Electoral Military have entered the Bai liwick of Kronihach, which depends on the Elcdorate, and which has been illegally occupied by Foreign Troops, solely to maintain the Coi:nt de ScitoNßurt N in possession of the rights he enj,lys in that Bailiwick, and to proted him, as much as pos,i;il , f. rigainst any violence, and every ad con., trary to th,' City or Nzer2.7, , ziers• 1:al protested ,Ig _concluded between i'toL , i.4 and 8.4p . f1a.", becaU f se some °fits Dependen ,,rlprised within the ceded Territory.
