The French Minister further assured Mr.

Leiters from Cape Francois, dazed 17th March,
state, that in the last engagement several Whites be-
longing to toe Ilvigand army were taken by the
Frtnclt, and instantly snot. It is thought that, if
the 'l.3lazks pa this occasion, could have got their
guns to bear upon the town, its dostruaion would
have been inevitable. At Tortuga the massacre of the
Whites had been almost universal.

" We learn from Naples, under date. 19th March,
that the Maara, with Mr. lirtonmond :tad his suite,
sailed for MALI oa' Tuesday. Its departure *a;
'not a little regret:A. Lard and Lady Elgin ar-
rived the morning of the same day. Leghorn will
shortly he honoured with their presence. Their
suits is magnificent, but it does not, like Mr. Drum-
mond's, includo two I,9rds, who have volunteered
to accompany hint t ) (.7.,,nstaatinople, nanwly, the
E:trl Of Aberdeen :old Lord Brooke."

6, Our trade here looks very dt,il, and our confi-
dence, both public and private, has had a severe
shock, by our Banks having last week declined pay-
ing in cash; this was followed up next day by a
removal of our Minister of Finance, and a procla-
mation rrom, the King, saying, the funds of the
Banks hare been drawn forth by him without his
knowledge or consent, but that he pledged himself
I to his people, that a few days s*:.,yald again restore-
eery thing on its former tOozing ; and a: most of
the principal merchants came forward to assist the
public credit yesterday, the) began again to fray in
cash, and I hope we shall have confidence again re-
stored, particularly as the amount in circulation is
of no great cinsidetation.
" From Genoa, under date Nith nit. we learnt
his Majesty's Massage to Parliament, the proposi-
tion of the Ministers for an increase of I o,ouo sea-
men, and the Lord Mayor having signed the press-
warrants, hid depress:d the Funds, and encteased
the price of insurance at your place. This news,
with the rumours of war from diirerent quarters, has
been smsibly felt here; the merchant., alarmed, have
refused selling on credit, the Exchange is going
down, and many or most of the English vessels
have hauled out int.) the roads to profit by the pro-
traion of the .eld *lv frigate in case of need : many
will gain by a circumstance so extremely prejudicial
to trade ; but those' who venture their property in
this country, may esteem themselves fortunate if
they lose only a part by the chic.mery of the Ita-
lians."

The Commissary of Wrine at bonrdeaux has re-
ceived a letter from Citizen fl iris, the Colonial
Piefea at Martinico, dated I7th of March, in which
he says : u We make every ship coming from Gan-
daloupe undergo a species of quarantine, to preserve
ourselves from the spirit of insurredion, which unfor-
tunately prevails in that island. I send you some de-
crees which have been passed respeting the finances
and commerce. You will perceive the measures

which I thought necessary to adopt in favc.ur of the
mother country. I have driven out some English
merchants who were settled here, whose industry
was very injurious to us. I encourage the Spani:trds
to settle here, and do every thing I can to break off
all connexion with the English colonies, particularly
Trinidad, but you know-how diilicult it is to con-
quer custom."
In the sitting of the Legislative Body of the 21st
inst. the project of a law fur granting lands under
the title of a suppl2mentary national reward to ve-
terans, assembled in the 26th and 27th military di-
visions, was passed by a majority of 210 to 12. Na-
tional property, to the amount of ten millions. (above

In the sitting of the Tribunate of the 22d of April,
a r.:pilrt was made of the levy of the conscriptlins
of di., years 11 and le. DAue, the reporter, said,
seven months had already elapsed since the com-
mencement of the I Ith year, and it was only ndw
thot the Government demanded the levy of all the
years. This proved its pacific intentions ; and if it
also required the levy of.the 12th year, it was only
to avail itself of the time when the Legislative Body
was sitting. After some further e:4lauation, the
motion was adopted.
The Courier de Lenders says, crimes have multi-
plied so much in Fr:mce, that BON Ar A nT 17. requested
of the Grand Judge a report on the best means of
suppressing them. The latter pmposed a suspen-
sion of the trial by Jury, particularly in cases of
poisoning, and setting tire. Something is expet.cted
to be done in this respe3, before :he journey to
Brussels.—Bid.
