CORONER'S INQUEST.

An Inquest was held on Saturday last at the Castle Inn, Holland-
street, Blackfriars, before Richard Carter, Nag. on the Gaily of
Mary .1 unease, widow, at the instance of the parish officers, io
consequence of a rumoiir that the deceased had been improrerly
treand by the woman who attended her.
it appeared by the evidence, that the deceased, during her
new had been attended by Hannah Hopley, as RUM. and to
whom she had bequeathed the whole of her property. That her
sister called on Sunday, and found tirr ift a very wretched cot.dl
tion, and without any medical attendance. That on !coma torrents
her room a second time, the nurse refused her admittance. Tho
deceased dying no the following day, her sister suspected that
_en.
th•
nurse had poisoned her, she therefore had the woman apprehenel
The body was afterwards seen by one or two professional gentle-
men, who concurred in the opinion that the deceased died a L a atin
death.
The Jury accordingly returned a verdict to that 'Bt.:.

The Paris Papers of Friday arrived last night. They
contain no fresh intelligence from Spain. In another
column we have given some account of the course and pro-
ceedings of BEIISIERLs previous to his apprehension. It is
remarked that though by a royal decree issued on the 21st
silt. he was declared a traitor, and ordered as such to be
shPt immediately on being made prisoner, he was not exe-
cuted till the third day of his captivity. He was taken on
t:te 23d, and suffered death on the 26th. Why this delay
should have occurred in such a case it is difficult to imagine,
unless we suppose that powerful intercession was made in
his favour by the agents of the apostolic party, of which he
wes the instrument. General CA PAP C, who is imprisoned
far a similar attempt in Arragon, has been removed from
the comfortable apartments he occupied in a public edifice
to the common gaol. It is probable that he will now be
prosecuted wit► rigour.
There is not a line of intelligence from Greece in these
Papers.
The Maisano. contains the official report from the
Minister of Marine and Colonies, regarding the re-
cognition of the independence of Hayti. It gives no
information as to the nature of the negotiations which
preceded the acceptance of the Royal Ordinance by
the Haytian Government; and it begins with a very,
awkward endeavour to explain why the naval force
seas sent to "second" the Kr Na's intentions towards the
emancipated people of St. Domingo. "It was fitting,"
says the report, " that they should be accompanied by that
appearance of force and dignity which is proper to
all that emanates from a King of FIANCE !" It ap-
pears that at the end of three days the conferences be-
tween the Baron de Mac& Al: and the Haytian Commis-
sioners had produced no result. The conciliatory dis-
pinition of President Boras, however, prevented the rup-
ture of the negotiation ; and, finally, on the explana.
titans of the French Envoy, and, " trusting to the good
iith of the KING, he accepted the ordinance in the name
of the people of Hayti." The strange wording of that
absurd, if not perfidious document, had, it seems, natu-
rally excited the suspicions of Bort'. He would not,
upon his own responsibility, adopt any resolution con-
c:rning it, and therefore called to his assistance some lead-
ing members of the Senate, and the principal officers of
the island. " The difficulties that had arisen in the
discussions," we are told, were removed only by " their
confidence in the wont and generous intentions of the
K inn." On the 11th of July the Senate were con-
voked for the confirmation of the ordinance, which ce-
remony took place amidst the general rejoicing of the
inhabitants, and cries of " Vivele Rol !" " Vire le Dauphin
de Prance!" It is unfortunate, if the King of Fiance
really intended to make a full and absolute concesion
of their independence to the people of Hayti, that his
Ministers did not express his intentions so clearly on
the face of the ordinance as to render unnecessary all the
explaailions which the Baron de MACK AU bad occasion to
give. 'l`mthe Haytians at lest, according to this report, re-
lied more upon the Kisio's honour and generosity than on
the terms of the document by which their independence
was granted.
[From the Official part of the Mo,ettear of Friday.]
DEPARTMENT OF MARINE AND COLONIES.
REPORT TO THE KING.
The preamble of this repot gives a sketch of the events relative ;
to St. Domingo since 1791, the pre:arious state of the commercial
relations between France and its former colony, his Majesty's de•
termination to put an end to such a state of things, and to declare
hts will by a loyal ordinance, to second which .considerable naval!
force was ordered ,to be preAted, "not from any doubt that the teal
mention of his Majesty would be well received, but because it was !
muting that they should be accompanied by that appearance of
force and dignity, which i► proper to all that emunates from a King
of France. Haring 'rated his Majesty's enders for the mission of
Baron Madan, and for the assembling of the naval force at Yon
Royal, Martinique, the report proceeds:—
•• Your Majesty's intentions have been punctually executed with
a precision not always attainable in expeditions depending on so
many contiogencies.
" The squadron under Rear Admiral Jurieu, on the 20th June,
cseaiated of—The Eylsu of 80 guns, Jean Bart 74, Venus 24,
the Nymph, Themis, Magicienne, Medea, Circe, and Salamandre,
each 04'18 guns, and five brigs of 10, 18, and 24 guns.
Baron Mackau• Commander of the Circe, had orders to salt
some days earlie► thin the squadron, which was not to .pear ma
Port-au-Prince till it should have received notice. This officer
sailed for Martinique the 23d, with the Circe frigate, and the Ruse
and Bearnaise brigs. lie appeared off Port-au•Prince the 3d July.,
The remainder of the squadron sailed fur Port Royal the 27th of
June. The reception given to Baron Mackau authorised him to
.'spat ;he c, • uccas of his mission. As soon as he appeared
in sigh or., •II 4 came ell board, and a suitable residence was,
',sari, a i.i n 'on-our-Prince, as well as to the officers under
- -

-67 Coofcienees were immediately opened between him and

three Commissict.ers appoir.ted by the Present of the Gowern•t
ment of Ilayti, and u in three digs they had led to no result, they
were taken up by the President, to whose conciliatory Intentions,
Baron Macklin does full justice.

" It was on the Bth July, after some preliminary discussions.
which were not without Importance, but which were carried on
with that spirit of conciliation which leads to the conclusion of affairs
when there is a sincere wish to do so, that the President wrote to
BEron Mackau, that after the explanation given him, and trusting
in the good faith of the King, he accepted, in the name of the
people of Hayti, the ordinance of your Majesty, and that he was
going to take the necessary steps to have it confirmed in the Senate
with due solemnity.

" I must inform your Majesty that the President, before he
took this resolution, thought it his duty to consult several ►!embers
of the Senate, and the principal officers of the island ; that the
difficulties which had arisen In the discussions were laid before
them ; that they all declared they would confide in the wisdom of
the Chief of the Republic; that confidence in the word and ge-
nerous intentions of your blajesty alone smoothed all obstacles ;
and that when Baron klackau was introduced from the Cabinet of
the President into the Hall, where all the principal officers were
assembled, cries of ' Vire k fbi !" Vire k Dauphin dc France!'
Vivc k France,' were uttered with unanimous acclamations, and
mingled with cries of the national independence which your Ma-
jesty's ordinance had just proclaimed and recognised.
" It was on the 11th July that the Smite was convoked to pro-
ceed to the contirmation (Enterinement) of the ordinance, accord.
ing to the forms prescribed by the Constitution and laws of the
country.

This day was a real holiday for the inhabitants of the island, the
whole population had assembled in the squares and streets through
which the ptoccssion was to pass. A numerous body of troops
of the most martial appearance formed a double line from the
sea shore to the Senate-House. The squadron bad been in.
sited to enter the port. Baron Mackau, accompanied by Rear.
Adadials Jurieu and Grivel, and the officers of the squadron, bogie
♦ish the most solemn pomp the ordinance of your Majesty, which
bas saluted as it passed by all the guns of the ships, and with the
anal:Salons acclamations of the people. When they reached the Se-
nate, where they were received with due respect and ceremony, the
ordinance was confirmed in their presence. The prom's: rerbal Of
this sitting, and the speech of the President of the Senate to your
Majesty's commissioners leave no doubt of the unanimity of send-
meats with which it was received, and the profound gratitude which
it has exc;ted in every heart.

It was amidst cries of Long live the King of France, long live
his beloved son, that the sitting broke up, and that a Committee of
Members was ordered to carry a report of the proceedings to the
President of the Republic.

" From the day of this sitting, till the 18th July, when the
squadron sailed, and to the 20th, when Baron Mackau quitted
Port au Prince, there was a series of brilliant fetes, and the joy
manifested by the people proved that the benevolent intentions of
your Blajesty were felt and appreciated, as you had a right to
expect.

" Baron Mackau has given a passage on board his vessel to three
envoys, who came to France to negotiate a loan to fulfil the con.
dition of the ordinance.

"Sire, these stifle sentiments which were expressed with so much
enthusiasm at 2,000 leagues from your capital, In an Island from
which so many events seemed to divide us for ever, have manifesed
themselves in the same manner in the ports and maritime cities of
your kingdom, which are sources of prosperity re-opened which
they believed to be dried up. The ancient colorists, so long de.
prived of resources, and not preserving even the illusions of hope,
will: feel an unexpected relief. A fixed state, subject to all the
roles of reciprocal attention and respect which civilisation has in.,
troduced among nations, between which it forms the first basis of
public law, will replace that precarious state which was not without
danger to all European colonies.

" I shall not terminate this Report, Sire, without laying at your
Majesty's feet the expression of the devotedness of the Coen.
mender, and of all the Officers in his squadron. All were equally
zealous punctually to execute your Majesty's commands. The
Reports of Baron Mackau, which I have before me, will, I ven-
ture to hope, leave you no doubt that this Officer has answered the
confidence you placed in him. This mission, to make use of his
own expression in his conference with the President of Ilayti, gave
him the charecter of soldier, and not of a diplomist or a negotiator-
The frankness of his explanations are perfectly in harmony with
that which the President never ceased to show from the first In-
stant, I have no doubt smoothed many difficulties. I will venture
to recommend him to your Majesty's favour.
" I am, with the most profound respect, Sire, your Majesty's
most humble and faithful servant.

" The Count de CIIABROL."
