(From the Etoile.)
The emancipation of St. Domingo has produced
United States of America very grea!, sur-
prise. Opinion is divided. Some applaud the
step taken by the French Government ; others
dread its consequences to the United States,
while all view with a jealous eye the privileges
granted to French commerce. The following is
all extract of a letter dated Brest, Sept. 18 :

. " The Envoys from Hayti made a stay of only fifteen hours
here. Having yesterday completed the quarantine of twenty
days, to which they had been subjected, they entered the city
in the morning, accompanied by Baron.de Mackau, by whom
they were presented to Vice-Admiral Gourdon, the Maratime
Prefect, and immediately after they alighted at the Hotel de
Provence, occupied by M. Mallet, Consul-General for St.. Do-
mingo. A toast was proposed at the dessert, by one of the
travellers. I was placed near M. Donmec, and the Senator
being reseated, replied, Gentlemen : when language, religion,
and habits, tend to approximate two nations, reconciliation
cannot long be waited for.' He then recounted a circumstance
in his life which showed his attachment to France. I came
to Europe,' said he, during the Consular Government, and
then traversed Germany, as far as Hamburgh, where I em-
barked. I was forced to put into a port in England, where
I remained about six months. The opposite charaCter and
manners of the two nations (France and England) soon
apprised me to which I belonged, by my inclination and my
habits.'

"In the next moment he said to us, Brest is a Gibraltar !

" Apropos of his taste for France, I recollect the following
striking remark Christophe having abandoned the education
of his subjects to foreigners (our neighbours), threw farther off
every day an event which we all desired. In a few years more
St. Domingo would have exhibited nothing French; but we
preserved the sacred fire.'
"M. Rouannez, as you know, is now in France. Ile is
above 40. It was the first time I had seen a man of colour.
He, nevertheless, appeared to me to be an able negotiator.
The senator Donmec is about 40. He is the son of a mu-
latto and a black. His features, on being well examined, have
some feeble resemblance to those of an European. His phy-
siognomy expresses kindness ; his conversation is agreeable,
and his experience is never at fault. Colonel Fremont has the
military air of the old troops of France. He is a pure negro,
as well as his three sons. He is covered with wounds, which
render his appearance a little rough. These gentlemen reckon
on returning in November, so as to be at home in time for the
anniversary of Haytian independence, which falls on the let
of January."

[OFFICIAL ARTICLE.]

ROYAL DXCREE, creating an AUMILIAttY JUNTA to the
Council of Ministers, under the name of Royal Consultive
Junta of Government, for the purpose of attending to the
important Affairs of the Monarchy therein expressed.

The progressive decline in the fortunes of my 1
beloved subjects has been an inevitable consequence of the
changes and calamities which have afflicted my kingdoms. As
I cannot follow the impulse of my paternal heart, and procure
for them an immediate remedy for their misfortunes, and a com-
pensation for their losses, I should at least wish to avoid in-
creasing the charges and tributes they already pay, without
neglecting the preservation and prosperity of the Monarchy
which Divine Providence has entrusted to me, and the fulfil-
ment of the obligations of justice depending thereon. aly ,
Royal mind, incessantly occupied irr this object, and after me.
ditating thereon with all the maturity the importance of the
affair requires, I am convinced of the urgent necessity of ac-
commodating, as much as is in my power, the present demands
to the circumstances of those who have to pay them, so us
to make the latter the regulator of the former, after cal-
culating the indispensable wants of the state, by reducing
the expences to what is absolutely necessary. Carefully
to examine the internal state of the nation, its riches, produc-
tions,
and the extent of its resources ; to establish, in conse-
quence thereof, the strictest economy in all the branches: of
the administration ; to avoid all unnecessary expences, and
reduce as much as possible the indispensable ones ; to sup-
press hereafter all pensions by reforming or cancelling those
which exist, as fat as is compatible with justice; to abolish all
fees and rewards, without any distinction of persons or classes ;
to reduce the pay to a just and proportionate scale ; to attend
to the improvement and consolidation of the credit of the
State, so as to inspire confidence and afford secure guarantees,
as well physical as moral, in the interior as well as exterior of
my dominions, so that loans may be obtained to cover the de-
ficit that may occur, attending, at the same time, with religi-
ous exactitude, to the payment of the interest on the legitimate
and acknowledged debts ; and, finally, to establish the reforms
and modifications necessary for the permanence of order and
the exactitude of all the branches of the public administration.
Such are the bases on which the prosperity and welfare of my
people are to be raised, as well as the splendour and dignity of
my crown. For a work so great, that requires unceasing study,
assiduous application, and a deliberate inquiry into what jus-
tice and policy required. Owing to a want of time, the known
labours of my Council of Ministers are not sufficient, or the
exertions of either of the departments continually employed
in the difficult and urgent business of my government, where-
fore it is necessary to aid them by calling in other persons
selected for their fidelity and adhesion to my royal person, for
their learning, talents, and practical knowledge in the several
branches and professions. In consequence whereof, and by vir-
tue of the proposal made to me by my Ministers on 26th of last
1
August, I have thought proper to decree as follows :
" Art. 1. There shall be an auxiliary and Consulative Junta
immediately depending on my Council of Ministers, which
shall be called Royal Consultive Junta of Government.
" Art. 2. This Junta shall be purely consultive, and it shall
hold its sittings and deliberations, according to the rules pro-
posed by said Council, which I shall be pleased to sanction.
" Art. 3. Its duties shall be, first, to examine carefully the
present state of all the branches of the administration of the
State, and the resources they present compared with those
which formerly existed, taking into account the decline, losses
and sacri;ces my people have experienced; secondly. to
compare the former riches with those which may now be
relied upon, considering the present situation of the sources
thereof, and other circumstances ; thirdly, according to these
data, to estimate the possibility .of contributing and prepar-
ing supplies for the Government, without increasing in-
dividual indigence; fourthly, to calculate the actual sum
the latter may require to sustain the dignity of my Throne,
the decorum of my person and august family, the pre-
servation of my hereditary dominions, the strength of the
State, as well as the fulfilment of all its obligations ;
also to
form a reasonable estimate of the expenditure and taxes, as
, well as the deficit that may result therefrom, together with
the means most suitable to cover the same; 5t171y, to give
their opinion on the diminution, increase, reform, modifica-
tion, or reform of the taxes imposed, on ,negotiations for loans,
contracts, estimates, retrenchments, and more particularly to
watch over the legislative and economical part of the adminis-
tration.
" Art. 4. This Junta shall report on any other object I shall
think proper to lay before it, or as may be required by my
C uric 1 of Ministers.
Art. 5. For its more perfect information, all the reports
and returns necessary shall be furnished, as required from the
existing authorities and public offices.
" Art. 6. This Junta shall be composed of the following
persons :—(llere follow the names, in all 25.1
" Art. 7. No one of the Members of the said Junta sha 1 re-
ceive any additional pay for the defies therein performed.
" Art. 8. 1 enjoin mv Council of Ministers to prepare for
me, with the least possible delay, every thing that may be re-
quisite for the exact fulfilment of this my Royal determination,
so that the business may commence in the ensuing year under
the auspices of an economical organization, capable of consider-
ing my Royal Treasury, and the prosperity of my beloved vas-
sals, on solid, just, and efficacious bases.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUlLDHALL.—Yesterday, George Moore, a resident of
Clifton, near Bristol, was charged- with felony. His wife, a
very elegant yowl., female had been discharged from the bar
scarcely an hour before, under the following circumstances :
Mr. Smith, of the firm of Smith and Co. of Bristol, mercers,
stated that the husband had lived with them as shopman,
until about a fortnight ago, when he was dismissed, and a
day or two after, a shop which he had opened at. Clifton,
was searched, and a quantity of plate and other articles, their
property, were discovered. The husband and wife had fled, how-
ever, previous to this investigation, and he had made a fruitless
tour of upwards of 600 miles in pursuit of them, but had aban-
doned all idea or further inquiry, and came up to London yes-
terday, and on his way to Mr. Harvey's, on Ludgate-hill, he
casually met the female, wearing a gown which he was con-
vinced was composed of
silk stolen from his stock. lie ac-
cordingly gave her in custody, and now begged the Magistrate
to send her to Bristol, or remand her, to give time to search for
her husband, whom he suspected to be in London. After some
consultation with his legal adviser, the worthy Alderman
served, that if a felony had been committed, if she was the wife of
the thief, and found in possession of the property, her coverture
• would be a good plea, and if she was not his wife, of which fact'
Mr. Smith had expressed a doubt, she might be presumed to
have received the materials for the gown as a present, and he
should therefore discharge her.—This result astonished Mr.
Smith, but by cautiously watching her after she quitted the
Office, he traced out her lodging, in Shoemaker-row, and
caused her husband to be apprehended. Mr. Smith estimates
the deficiency in his stock to exceed 1,000/. The prisoner was
brought to the Office, but not examined. He was taken away
to be conveyed to Bristol by Mr. Smith, who happens to be
a Constable of that city for the present year.
MAnr.noROUGII-STREET.—Yesterday Samuel Russell, a
broker, and John Jenkins, a Gentleman's servant, were charged
by Mr. Lloyd, Old Bond-street, for lurking about his pre-.
raises under suspicious circumstances. The Prisoners were ex-
amined separately, and Russell told a most prevaricating story.
It turned out, on the evidence of one of the beadles of Saint
Giles's, that this man had long been known as a very bad cha-
racter. He and his father at one - time had kept a most noto-
rious house in the Seven Dials, the resort of thieves and vaga-
bonds of every description. Ile had also been tried for a felony
at the Old Bailey, and in point of fact had been out of gaol
only a short time. The other prisoner, Jenkins, also had been
tried for an assault, and had not been in employment for some
time.—They were committed for three months' imprisonment,
as rogues and vagabonds.

NAVAL COURTS MARTIAL IN JABIAICA.—A Court Mar-
tial was held on board the Isis, in Port Royal, Jamaica, on
Monday, the Bth of August, for the trial of Lieut. Henry
Dundas Trotter, late of the Hussar, agreeably to a request con-
tained in his letter to Captain Harris, dated the ninth of May
last. Members, Captain Thomas iorrest, C.B. (Isis.) Pre-
"ent, Captains W. Elliott, C.B. (Lively,) Hugh Patton,
(Rattlesnake,) John Leith, (Pylades,) and George Russell,
(Scylla.) William Wynter, Officiating Judge Advocate. The
Court having heard the evidence in support of tho charge, as
well as what the prisoner had to offer in his defence, and
the evidence adduced on his behalf, and very maturely
and deliberately weighed and considered the same, is una-
nimously of opinion that the evidence given by Lieutenant
H. D. Trotter at the late Court Martial on Edward Rip-
pington, a seaman of the Hussar, was conscientiously and
justly given—that his conduct appears at all times to have
been perfectly respectful to his Captain, and that lie did not de-
serve the reprimand which he received from Captain Harris.
The Court doth, therefore, adjudge the said Lieutenant H. D.
Trotter to be fully acquitted. But the Court has listened with
considerable regret to some parts of Lieutenant Trotter's
.de-
fence, which it considers irrelevant, intemperate, and unnectese
nary to his own exculpation. A Court Martial was held the

By the subjoined extracts from the French
Papers of Tuesday, the situation of Mr. Ttramrrt
in Constantinople would appear to be somewhat
critical. The Turkish Government is repre-
sented as entirely discontented with the con-
duct of the British Cabinet on the affairs of
the Greeks, to whom they allege the English
authorities in the lonian Islands extend every
assistance, to the total disregard of those prin-
ciples of neutrality which ought to govern their
policy. It does not appear to us that there
is much ground for this complaint, for how-
ever disposed the nation may be to aid the
Greeks in their struggles for independence, the
conduct of the Government has been such as the
welfare and interests of the British Islands
called upon them to pursue. These complaints,
however, would augur, that the Greeks have
cavt rattier
is
r
been of late successful in all their encounters
with the enemy, or rather that disasters have

( From Ma Emile, dated Wednesday, Sept. 26.)
NUREMBERG, SEPT. 22.

'While the Turkish Government at present places all its con-
fidence in the Austrian Internuncio, and endeavours to meet
all its wishes, it shows a distrust of the French Ambassador,
because he has not given satisfactory answers respecting the
great number of French officers in the service of the Greeks,
and the assistance sent to the latter. But the Porte shows itself
much more incensed against the English Charge d'Affaires,
Mr. Turner, who is at present in a very disagreeable situation.
He was lately invited to a conference with the Reis Effendi,
who has a reputation of being a moderate and obliging man,
but this time he represented to Mr. Turner, by his Dragoman,
in harsh terms, the hostile conduct of England, with which he
bitterly reproached him. It is said, that he informed the
English Minister of the personal discontent of the Sultan with
his conduct, and with his having constantly answered that the
English Government could not hinder private individuals from
going to Greece, from entering into the service, or from sending
assistance to the Greeks • but that for itself and its agents it ob-
served the strictest impartiality.
The Reis Effendi, it is said, declared to Mr. Turner that all
these assertions were incorrect, that the Sultan had had proofs
that the Governor of the lonian Isles, the English Admiral in
