Ile to do, such vessel will be forfeited,

together with her cargo, tackle, apparel, &c.
and a like forfeiture is incurred if any person
coming from St. Domingo shall be landed in
Jamaica without the licence of the Governor first
obtained. This clause would seem to nega-
tive the report above alluded to, because it
threatens the very end it was the policy of the
before-mentioned clause to prevent. That policy
is sufficiently obvious, and if such a provision was
deemed necessary before the issuing of tl•e Or-
dinance of the King of FRANCE, how much the
more necessary must it be deemed now that the
independence of the Black Republics is acknow-
ledged by that kingdom ?
The generality of people judge of things by
their effect, and therefore, however refined, or
even just may be the distinction the French Mi-
nistry have anxiously endeavoured to draw be-
tween a treaty of recognition and the terms of the
French Ordinance (which is nothing but a con-
tract of sale), it is clear its effect is to
set St. Domingo free from the Sovereignty
of France, and thus to rank her as one
amongst the independent nations of the Globe.
Such an example to the Blacks of Jamaica would
not be very pleasing to their owners, or to the
Government of the Mother Country ; and, when
the vicinity of these two Islands to one another
is considered, it becomes a matter of much mo-
ment to check as far as possible the spreading of
those principles it was calculated to inspire.
The force of this policy prevented the recogni-
tion of the independence of Ilayti by the British
Government ; and it is plain, therefore, that the
clause in the late Act of Parliament is distinctly
opposed to the adoption of such a course as the
foregoing rumour refers to.

TARRAGONA, AUG. 25.—The Spanish schooner
said to have been captured off this port on the
14th instant, by Columbian vessels of war, was
taken by French cruisers.

BLACK Guts.--It is much to be regretted that
the Gentry in Hampshire and Dbrsetshire will
not give any encouragement to the increase of this
species of game ; a forbearance to shoot them for
two or three years will be sufficient to raise such
large quantities of them, as to afford, in future,
annual sport equal to the wishes of the keenest
sportsman.

RoME, AUG. 18.—Lately arrived in Rome the
Duke of Ale'ford, one of the ancient Peers of
Scotland, who followed the fortunes of the
Stuarts, and was Conclavist of Cardinal Bemis,
at the time of the electio►► of Pope Pius VI. A
few days ago arrived here the Reverend Father
Lestrenge, Abbot of the Trappists in France.—
This respectable Ecclesiastic, during the French
Revolution, travelled through Russia, England,
and the United Provinces of North America,and
founded in the two last named countries some
monasteries of his order.

FRANKFORT, AUG. 29.—The Grand Duke of
SAXE WEIMAR has notified to our Senate the
happy accouchement of the Duchess IDA, wife
of Duke BERNARD of SAXE WEIMAR, of a
Prince, on the 4th, at Altenstein, near Lieben-
stein. Iler Royal Highness is a Princess of
Saxe Coburg Meiningen.—A treaty has been
concluded between the Duke of OLDENBURG and
Count BENTINCK, relative to the Lordship of
Kniphausen. In consequence of the various po-
litical events, the relations of this Lordship with
the German Confederation are not precisely de-
termined, nothing having been decided respecting
it either in 1813 by the Allied Powers, when the
Duke of OLDENBURG took possession of Jever,
with which Kniphausen had been united by the
French, or subsequently by the Congress at
Vienna.

It is stated in letters from Ostend that a ves-
sel had arrived there on Friday from Port-au-
Prince, the Captain of which stated, that imme-
diately after the public announcement of the re-
cognition of the independence or Hayti, some
Dutch and English merchants, resident at Port-
au-Prince, waited upon the President, for the
purpose of receiving some information as to the
line of conduct which he intended to adopt to-
wards them. They were most graciously re-
ceived, and assured by the President that, not-
withstanding what had occurred, he had too high
a respect for the energy and enterprise of the
English and Dutch merchants to do any thing
restrictive of their pursuits, without the most ab-
solute necessity ; and that they would find him
ever disposed to strengthen the ties which alrea-
dy existed between them and the Haytian Re-
public.
The packet-ship Canada sailed from Liver-
pool on the Ist inst. Among the passengers were,
Bishop HOBART, of New York, and Professor
PArrrsoN, of the University of Maryland.
M. GIBEAU, the Attorney-General for the
Court of Cassation in Paris, was seated on the bench yesterday
with It. J. CHAMBERS, Esq. at Union-Hall, and seemed to
take great interest in the proceedings. lie remarked that the
mode of dispatching business before the English Police Ma-
gistrate differed very materially from the manner in which it
was conducted in France.

W ILIA AM WASHINGTON, a nephew of the cele-
brated WASHINGTON, has arrived from Malta, at Hydra.—
This young officer of artillery, the inheritor of his uncle's vir-
tues, and tilled with the greatest enthusiasm for the struggle
in which the Greeks are engaged against barbarians, has de-
cided on entering into the ranks of the Greeks, and has set out
for Napoli di Romania for that purpose.
Two hundred invalids were admitted last week
out-pensioners of Chelsea Hospital.
A regular corn and flour market is to be esta-
blished at Southampton.
Faversham gunpowder mills are ordered to the
hammer by the Board of Ordnance.
Miss FooTE, it is said, has been engaged at a
liberal salary, for three years, by Mr. MORRIS,
for the Haymarket Theatre.

FRENCH FLEET in the WEST INDIES.

The following is an extract of a letter which
was received yesterday at the Jamaica Coffee-
house :

" KINGSTON, JAMAICA, ATLI- 13.—The Scout sloop of
war, Captain WIG sT ON, which arrived at Port Royal yester-
day from Barbadoes and St. Thomas's (the last in seven days),
has brought information that a French fleet, consisting of 18
vessels, with pennants flying, and several transports, having
troops on board, had sailed from Martinique for Cuba, to
take possession of that island for and in the name of the
King of Spain, so as to prevent its falling into the hands of
the Colombians or Mexicans. Official information to that
effect is said to have been communicated officially by the French
Consul at St. Thomas's to the Governor of that island. _ _ _

The Hussar frigate, Captain Ilarris, was dispatched this
morning, by Admiral Halsted, it is said, to put dispatches on
board the Rinaldo packet, which sailed yesterday for England;
and the frigate will afterwards proceed to the coast of Cuba, to
ascertain at what ports the French will land; St. Jago, Trini-
dad, and the Havanna!' arc those conjectured here. The
Thracian sloop of war sails in the morning for England with
dispatches, and will touch at Havanna'', no doubt, to ascertain
if any of thel fleet have arrived there.
[This intelligence is much weakened, if not deprived of all
credit, by the fact that the Thracian, after touching at Havan-
nah, which she left on the 23d of July, has since arrived at
Portsmouth, and states that she saw nothing of this fleet.
The French squadron is that which was last hard of at Port-
au-Prince.]
