" In consequence of the accounts received from St. Domingo,
the Chamber of Commerce of Havre made applications to the.
Ministers of Marine and Colordesand:of the. Interior, and re-
ceiv,ed from the former the following Answer:—
Paris; May 11,18:''
Messieurs--I have this instant received the letter whi,:n
you-did me the honour to addreis tome yesterday.

After having stated that advices, which appear to hav2a
certain character of authenticity, leave, if it may be so said, no
doubt that General Boyer had put an embargo on the French
ships in the ports of St. flamingo, you request of me to inform
you on what point hostilities are to be apprehended, and What
is to be the conduct observed by navigators relative to St.
Domingo ?

' I commence, Messieurs, by replying to you, that no ad -
Vices hive reached me of any embargo at St: Domingo ; *and
if, contrary to all expectation, so violent a measure has been
ordered, it could only have been very suddenly, and it would,
necessarily have been revoked almost iidmediately on its being
directed, as it could only have bean resorted to m consequence
of the most incorrect reports.
When Rear-Admiral Jacob, in concert with Lieutenant-
General the Count Donzelot, sailed on his return to France to
the Peninsula of Saruana, with apart of the vessels under lila
orders, he had not, nor could have, any other object or motive
than to offer aid to the French inhabitants whom a sudden
change of domination had alarmed.
lie confined himself to the fulfilment of this honourable
mission, which certainly was not of a nature to excite any sort, •
of disquietude or distrust; and' if, which is improbable, it ha"
given rise in the first instance to false interpretations, they
would be soon dissipated. .
do not admit, therefore, that a passing incident—that
a step which was merely in.unison with the conduct observe"'
by his Majesty's ships in all seas, couldhave any serious
con-
sequences.
Affairs are entirely in their former state as to our relations
with all the ports of America, and the just conduct of the
Government has secured in all these ports a favourable veer
tion for our vessels. These vessels are also effectually pro-
tected by,our cruisers, which display equal prudence and acti-
vity. Thus we have every reason to believe that our situation
cannot be in any respect altered, and that our vessels continue
to enjoy throughout America the same security.
Receive, Messieurs, the assurance of my distinguish
consideration.

Marine and Colonies.- igneds •

" MAY 17.—England is now not in a state to prevent
war; not being able to avoid it, it is natural that she should
endetteouti or at least that she should be desirous, to have the
war concentrated in provinces, the occupation of which by
Russia will not aim a too direct blow at' the maritime pre::
Wallachia
of the British Empire. If Russia were mistress °'
Wallachia and Moldavia, she wouldnot have a port the more
in the Black Sea; if she there bounded her conquests, she
would still be at a great distance from Constantinople,. Or
would she be in a more menacing position than she is 11011'S
with regard to the ports of the sea of Marmora,
the shores °-
the Bosphorus, or especially the Strait of the Dardanelles,
through which the Russian ships are obliged to Puss to pro-
ceed to the Islands ofthe Archipelago, and enter the Neal'
terranean.
" Thus, therefore, reasoning still' upon conjectures, Erg-3na
a
might consent freely to leave the Russians in 'Wallachia 3rl
Moldavia. The occupation of these two provinces, which al
still far from the Black Sea, would add nothing, or at leas
little,to.the maritime resources of Russia.

entrance of the Russian army into Moldavia and Wallaehi3;
can it be the same with regard to Austria ? It is suflicie°„l tl,

LONDON,
MONDAY, MAY 20, 1822.

In our preceding columns we have given va-
rious important extracts from the French *TOUT-

nals' of Thursday and Friday, Frankfort Papers,
and Madrid Journals to the 7th. The latter
'Journals contain a variety of details respecting
the insurrections on the line of the Pyrenees, and
it is expected that the energetic measures adopted
by the Government for their suppression will
shortly be crowned with success.—The intelli-
gence respecting the question between Russia
and Turkey is of a warlike character, with the
exception of an article from Vienna and another
from Aix-la-Chapelle, which hold out hopes of
the continuance of peace. We fear, however,

that the*e -hopes will not be -realized, fur it is
scarcely possible that the Emperor ALEXANDER
can' withdraw • his demin.ds in lota, and the
n:AsrSiiciswit, it is sell known, still persists
in refusing the slightest concession.

Four arrivals this morning from America bring
Papers of the same date as the last. The follow-
ing are extracts :--

FROM PIOLADELeRIA, APRIL 12.—A Gentleman who
has arrived in town from Pernambuco, confirms, that it was
the general opinion there, that the Brazilians would soon de-
clare themselves independent of Portugal, and that several
Europeans, friendly to royalty, and who had expressed them.
selves warmly against shaking off' the Mother Country, had
been massacred.

[Extract c/a Letter from Halifax, April 4.]

At the-moment the Americans are straining every nerve to
obtain a share in the trade of the British West India Islands,
and that his Majesty's Government are about to second their
views, by relaxing its long established Navigation Laws, to
which both the Mother Country and her Colonies are so greatly
indebted for their prosperity, a Resolution is actually before
the American Senate, to institute an inquiry into the expediency
of prohibiting, by heavy duties, the importation of foreign
Spirits into the United States ; this measure is strongly advo-
cated by several respectable members of that body, and is cal-
culated to defeat entirely the sanguine hopes of the West India
Planters in that branch of the trade.—Among the Acts lately
passed by our Assembly is one for an excise duty on goods,
wares, and merchandize imported, and another for amending and
continuing the several Acts imposing a duty on articles im-
ported from the United States. •

It appears from an official statement, printed
by order of the House of Commons, that two debts of Austria
to this country at present amount to ten million six hundred
and one thousand nine hundred andfifty-fire pounds ! This large
amount includes the accumulations of interest on the loans raised
for the service of Austria in the years 1795 and 1797, the whole
oftiehichinterest has been paid by Great Britain, notwithstanding
the pOsitie engagement of. Austria " regularly to discharge the
half-yearly dividends," and to " secure the repayment of the
loans on the revenues of the hereditary dominions of his Im-
perial Majesty !" The interest alone forms four million three
hundred and eighty-one thousand nine hundred and ffty;five
pounds, five shillings ! There is a further debt of two millions,
contracted by Austria in 1800, the interest of which was to be paid
it the expiration of six months following the conclusion of peace,
•
arid the gradual redemption of the principal to be effected by an
appropriation for that purpose. No part of these two millions
has bcen.paid ! We are astonished at the supineness of Go-
vernment, in not enforcing the payment of these large demands,
the discharge of which was undertaken by solemn conventions.
We can- very well suppose that the efforts made by Austria
against the common enemy have incapacitated her from Paying
off die entire suit]. But surely-she might have liquidated some
part of it, or hazie paid the interest, or at the least some part of
the interest ! It cannot be forgotten that she found means to
move hey armies upon Naples !

IRELAND,--Du.Thurstiay a 'Meeting was held.
at the Mansion-house, Dublin, for relieving the starving pea-
santry of the South. On the following day the subscription
amounted to near four thousand pounds.—A Meeting of the
County of Cork has been called for the same benevolent pur-
pose by the Sherifrr—The pipers this morning Mention a
number of outrages, some of them of a very cruel and feroci-
ous description. At Drogheda fair, on the 15th instant, year-
ling heifers sold for twenty shillings a head.

A letter from..Tersey, dated May 11, says,—_
" It will be recollected that last year the. English and Jersey
oyster fishing-boats were much obstructed and annoyed by the
French •armed vessels, on various pretences of encroachment,
tint in reality to destroy the Jersey oyster trade altogether, and
thus oblige the English oyster companies to obtain their sup-
plies from France. The,' French authorities have again sta-
tioned vessels of war on the banks discovered by the Jersey
fishermen in 1797, and adopted hostile measures, by firing in
time of peace on English shipping, and chasing them within
the rocks that surround Jersey. These hostile proceedings
}lave attracted the attention of the Jersey States, and a Petition
has been vOted to his lIIAJEsTY in Council. These oyster
banks are situated between Jersey and the opposite coast of
France, stretching from Cape Rozel to the rocks called the
Minquais, a' few miles to the north-west of the small isle 9f
Chausey, between one and • three leagues from. the French
shore. The fishery is now in a flourishing state. It occupies,
during four months of the year, upwards of 30Q fishing smacks,
manned by nearly two thousand British seamen, gives employ-
ment.fo near one thousand of the poor inhabitants of the eastern
coast of the island, and is, in many other respeCtS, of general
utility td the country."

His MAJESTY, as he passed to his box on
Friday night at Covent-Garden Theatre, ob-
serving Mr. FAWCETT, greeted the Performer
very kindly, and graciously signified that he was
not aware that Mr. FAWCETT'S benefit took
place on the preceding• Wednesday, as otherwise
he would certainly have chosen another night
for his visit to Drury-Lane Theatre.

In consequence of the idle reports which con.
tinue to be circulated, we deeM it necessary again
to state that there i 3 not the slightest foundation
for the statement of an intended marriage on the
part of our SOVEREIGN.—(Morning Post.)

THE ;TH EATRES.-

KJ-No's TIfEATgE.—The Opera, entitled °tell°,
brought forward for the benefit of Madame
CA MPOREE, was performed for the second time
on Saturday last, and altogether well received.
We have nothing to add to our previous account,
of the Opera, except to say that the respective!
Performers were more settled in their parts, and
therefore displayed more ease and spirit. • The
Duchess of KENT was the only part of the Royal
Family present, but there was a large assem-
blage of the Nobility and the fashionable world
in general.
DR UR Y•LANE.—As the melancholy state of
the Irish Peasantry seems to have excited the
benevolent feelings of all classes of the people,
and as the profits of the performances at Drury-
Lane Theatre on Saturday last were to be ap-
propriated to their relief, it was to be hoped that
the Public in general would have displayed an
eager spirit of philanthropy, and that they would
have flocked to the Theatre on so laudable au

occasion ;
" For then would calm reflection bless the night
" When liberal Pity dignified delight,
" When Pleasure tied her torch at Virtue's flame,
" And mirth was bounty with an humbler name."
It was nit only to be hoped, but to be. expected,
that such a generous patronage. would -have
marked the occasion, as the theatrical entertain-
ments were , in themselves calculated to draw at-
tention by the prospect of pleasure, -All-these
reasonable anticipations, however, proved delu-
sive, and there was but a scanty audience*, consi-
dering the cause, and the abilities with which it
was supported. The play was the Comedy of
John. Bull, and : Mr. J oniisTosE, who has, a6=
quired a good fortune by his extraordinary
comic powers, and who has preserved it with
discretion, quitted his well-earned retirement,
and volunteered his services on this' meritorious
occasion in the part of Dennis Brulgruddery, a
part which he had always performed with excel-
lence that defied competition. Nothing could
exceed the'acclamations of applause with which
he was welComed by the audience as soon as he
appeared on the. stage ; and though by all ac-
counts nobody'cau possess a firmer mind, yet he
was obviously deeply affected by these zealous
and reiterated tributes of popular regard.—
It may be truly said that the spirit of his
performance amply requ,ited the audience for
this liberal reception of an actor. who had so
often delighted them, and who, in addition to
his' general merits in his profession, was the very
best representative of the higher or lower Irish
characters that perhaps has ever appeared before
the public. Mr. DOUTON was another of those
liberal Performers who came forward in support
of the laudable cause. lie also was very warmly
received by the audience, and he performed the
part of Job Thornberry with all that natural fire
and forcible humour for which his acting is dis-
tinguished.
Mr. RUSSELL, too, kindly enlisted
himself in the service of humanity, and was very
warmly received in the part of Torn Shujjletow.
The rest of the, characters were ably supported
by Mr. COOPER, MTS. W. WEST, Mrs. GLOVER,
arid the other Performers who belong to the
Theatre. At the end of the Play, Mr.
JonsisToNE, with all his original humour,
sung the history and misfortunes of the Brull
gruddery. family, and received, as he with-
drew, an ardent repetition of that applause
which had welcomed him on his first appearance.
A Concert followed the Play, and was admirably
supported by the respective talents of BRAHAM,
Madame VESTRIS, Mrs. BLAND, Miss POVEY,
MISS FORDE, Miss CUBITT, MISS COPELAND, and
Signor AMBROGETTI, all of whom received and
deserved zealous marks of approbation.—The
Farce was Two Strings to your Bow, and Murt-

DEN, by the animation of his performance in
Lazarillo, proved that he was proud of the op-
portunity of giving his support to the, cause of

hucnanit

CHRISTENING OF THE INFANT DAUGHTER OF LORD
AND LADY STEWART.—On Saturday the infant datghter of
Lord and Lady Stewart was baptized by the Bishop of Lin-
coln, at their house in St. James's-square,
_on which occasion a
' '

most sumptuous dinner was given, at which were present=
Prince and Princess Esterhazy, the Duke of Wellington, Count
and Countess Munster, Count and Countess Lieven, the Mar-
quis and Marchioness of Londonderry, the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Camden, Lord and Lady Howden, Lord and Lady
Ravensworth, Colonel and Lady Caroline Wood, Mrs. Pel-
ham, Mr. A. Stewart, &c. In the evening her Ladyship gave
a splendid rout ; the drawing-rooms were superbly illuminated.
To enumerate the company would be to name most of the lead-
ing and distinguished fashionables in town. The blind of his
Lordship's regiment (the 10th Hussars), were stationed in
the hall, who performed martial and other music during the
evening.
