MR. EDITOR.

Be so good as correct an error in your printing,
which has destroyed the best joke in my letter.
The Emperor FRANCIS asked how the Empress a
Russia did? mid not the Empress of AUSTRIA.
We have a notion here, having read it in the
English PaPers, that her imperial Majesty is in
'the family way.

troops, which left Plymouth in September last,
on a- Secret Expedition, arrived here yesterday,
where they will 'remain a few days, to take in
water, and then pursue 'their voyage for the ser-
vice upon which they left England. This Expe-
dition is under the command of Major-General
Keane. and comprises a force of between 2000
and 3000 men, including two squadrons of the
14th and 19th light drogions. The whole are
well appointed, and in exc.2llent health ; and we
have therefore every reason to anticipate pleasing
accounts froxi them-, when they shall have reach-.
ed the scene of their operations, in some part of
America. Dr... Thompson, formerly Deputy In-
spector of Hospitals on' this 'Station, is attached
to this Division, as Inspector of Hospitals..
A plan had been agreed upon by some of the
prisoners of war on board the Vestal, at this an-
chorage, some time last week, to cut out the
schooner Engineer, formerly an AmeriCan letter
of marque, and lately
.put chased for 'the use of
this army ; but the plot having been disclosed by
one of the party, on the evening that it was to
have been carried into -.effect, the whole was de-
tected, and the ringleader has been placed-in civic
confinement. •

• " Barbadocs, Nov. 9, toil.'
" On the 4th inst. his Majesty's ships Bedford
and Norge, with several troop-ships, having 011
board 2300, anchored in this Bay. They 'ate
bound upon.a Secret Expedition, but there cannot
be a doubt of their destination. They go fret
this Island, as we suppose, to Jamaica, Mier°
they will be joined by the troops_that have been
lately acting in the Chesapeake, and probably hi
some from England. In confirmattiOn of our coo'
jectures,,we hear this morning, by the Admirarg
Tender, that Vice-Admiral Sir ALEX. CooniANso
in the Tonnant, of 84 guns, is now at Basseterre/
Guadaloupe. He has toneled there on
way from the coast of America to Jamaica, the
troops having probably gone direct for the latteC
island. This force, there can be little doubt; i°
destined to act in the Floridas and Louisiana de
mg the winter. They will probably land at 0°
mouth of the Mississippi. It will come upo°
Jonathan like a tlninder-clap.—The troops hei.„6
consist of detachments of the 4th, 44th, 62d,
85th—the whole of the.93d and the right wing°,
the 95th, under the command of Major-Genet
KEANE. The troops enjoy the best health, a°

are in high spirits,
" The Ist West India Regiment, and the scltol6
of the York •Light Infantry Volunteers are under

orders for Jamaica."

Another Ihytiau llocinneut containefl
preteding colitmn. ardent dilplay. of 1.4

ucc/1 elicited
by a threatening letter,
addressed by M. LAVAISSE to CHRISTOPITE j for
it seems that this Commissioner thought proper
to endeavour to intimidate one of the Rulers of
St. Domingo, while he applied a flattering unction
to the other. The following statements are pub-
lished respecting these affairs :
AUXION LAVAISSE was formerly a Member
of ROBESPIwRRE'S Committees of Public Safety.
After going through many of the metamorphoses
common to himself and several (.‘f his associates
in the revolutionary career, he was pitched upon
by the Provisional Government, which for a few
days preceded the recal of his Most Christian Ma-
jesty, to go as Commissioner to Hayti. The con-
sequence of his correspondence with the Govern-
ment of Cape Henry was, that on the first receipt
of his menacing letter, the King commanded his
Private Secretary to answer it article by article, a
duty which the Secretary performed with a degree
of ability that must greatly disconcert those
voho so confidently reckon on the ignorance
and incapacity of the Haytians. A General
Council was /hen summoned, before AVIIiCII
King HENRY (CHRISTOPHE) caused M. LAVAISSE'S
tetter to be laid. The sentiments it breathed pro-
duced a burst of indignation, and a solemn reso-
lution of independence. An Address was instantly
7oced, expressive of their unanimous resolution to
perish, to the last man, rather than submit. A
Deputation waited o the King th
with of this expression
of their sentie mneext morning
nts, and re-
ecived4he energetic Answer we have inserted.

We are assured that no compronzise whatever
has occurred between the Directors of the East
India Company and the Post Office on the Ship
Letter act ; nor has any other at rangetnent taken
place than that which is referred to in the re-
spective advertisements.

Several" of the Morning Prints have inserted pa-
ragraphs, importing that a Lady had ap-
plied to the Aragistrates, and sworn the peace
against her husband ; and two or three of those
Prints have stated that tl,e parties were Lord aod
Lady DEEEILLITHST. We have authority to say,
that thce paragraphs have no relation to the
above Noble Parties, and that legal measures
have betel instituted against the Conductors of the
hints whe nave so erroneously applied the para-
graphs in question Whether the application arose
from malice or mistake, it is certkiinly incumbent
on the *Conductors of Public Journals to he more
cautious, and not to wound the feelings of those
who, as in the present instance, are well known
to live in the most perfect harmony.
It has, been conjectured thott one of the three
divisions of the armament preparing at Cadiz for
&null America, will, undet.the present eiream-

A. letter from Eisineur, dated December 24, has
been received, which gives a favourable account
of the navigation at the entrance of the Baltic at
this Critical season, when a few hours of severity
'Ili& put a period tri all ingress andiegress. it
is. stated that the wind had taken a favourable
turn, so that the ships were at length able to get
out of the harbour, and proceed to the places of
their destination. Those to the West had the
convoy of the Cherokee and Nightingale, and
those to the Nom that of the Beaver. The wea-
ther teas very mild for for the period of the year.
Extract of a letter from the commander of the
