By Private Letters from Geneva, re4e-;v0 yester-
,i ws: learn that the French General NEF,corn-
>l)alAiog ins.',44itZeritita, has written ;Q die Com.
;11.inclimt of Oeneva, that there are zoo Englidimen
Kgsen: 2t that placc, who are covspiripa against

the life of tile Cricr CONSUL of the French Re.
public. The English residing there, indignant at
such an imputation upon the British Charaeter, have
taken it upon themselves to make a representation
of the circumstance to Lord Wn tTWORTH, the Bri-
tish Ambassador at Paris. There are not at present
above twenty or thirty English at Geneva.

THE Hamburg', Mail, which arrived yesterday,
states, that the Deputation of the Empire has
nearly terminated its labdurs, and that the Conc
sum upon the question of the Indemnities may be
very shortly exile led.
We are sorry to find, by letters from Constanti-
nople, that considerable irritation prevails between
the English and Turkish Troops in Egypt, which is
said to have produced some serious contests.

Spain, Holland, and Naples have not only ob_
tained permission from Russia to navigate in the
Black Sea, but the Russian Ambasssador at Cowan.
tinople has endeavoured to obtain for them a similar
indulgence from the Porte, which application, it is
said, will probably be successful.

We yesterday received American Papers up to the
sth of November._

Though these Papers do not contain any very
minute statements respeaing the present situation
of St. Domingo, yet the intelligence they furnish
on this subject is of a very important nature. The
accounts come down to the z sth Odober, from Cape
Francois. The Negroes are in all quarters in a state
of open insurreftion. They are spreading their
devastations over all the Plantations in the neigh-
bourhood of the places occupied by the French
Troops, and it appears that they experience no-
thing like effeCtual resistance. Their boldness was
daily increasing,and they were gradually approaching
nearer to the Cape, from which, according to the
latest accounts, they were but a short distance.—
A detachment of French Troops had been sent to
Fort Jeremie to check their incursions, hut without
being able to elle& their objet. The Negroes, so
far from being intimidated, were, according to one
account, adually preparing to attack the Fort, and
in such numbers that there was reason to think they
would be successful in dislodging the French Gar.
rison. There was not the least prosped of the re-
storation of tranquillity in the Colony, and its ap-
pearance was still more tumultuous than at the com..
inericement of the troubles at the breaking out of the
Revolution. Commerce was completely at a stand,
and among the Merchants nothing was to be seen or
heard of but terror and dismay'. The American Mer_
chants were anxious to leave the Island, and as far as
circumstances would permit, were taking measures
for the removal of their property. The greatest want
of money for the payment of the► Troops and the ordi-
nary demands of Government was experienced. A
very oppressive tax is said to have been imposed to
meet the exigency of their demands. This tax
consists of six dollars on each woman,
,eight dollars
on each man of the poorest description, from seven
hundred and fifty to nine hundred dollars on each
Alterican, and from four hundred and fifty to six
hundred on each French Merchant. Of this contri-
bution one half was to be immediately paid down,
and the remainder within thirty days. In case of
default, five per cent. is to he demanded for an ad-
ditional month, and if payment is not then made,
confiscation and arrest is immediately to take place.
Accounts from Aux Cayes to the ;9th of Oftober
state, that numbers of the Negroes were hung and
shot daily. The number of the Negroes in a state
of revolt is supposed to he 30,020. Letters from
Jacmel state, that a general massacre of the Whites
had taken place, after which a pillage of the
town en,riutal. We hope this statement is ex-
aggerated. yort_au-Prince was said to be closely
besieged by the Insurgents. The American Met_
chants are not only obliged to pay severe Fontri.
butions, but to enrol themselves in the National
Guard.

The above intelligence is certainly the most re-
cent from St Domingo. It appears, therefore, that
the island has not been evacuated, as was reported.
It is evident, however, that the French Army is in
a very critical situation, and nothing but speedy
reinforcements can enable them to aft, even on the
defensive, with success.
Letters from Martinique, by the American Papers
received yesterday, bring no information of consee
quence. Every thing was quiet in the island, but
the markets were dull. The Americans complain
that already they have begun to engienee injustice
On the part of the French Governmeain the Island.
They mention instartes where ships, which had
paid the duties to the British governor, had been
laid under embargo till they were paid anew to the
French Custom-house Officers.--At Newyork,
and all the other places where the pestilential fe-
ver prevailed, every dangeroUs symptom has disap.
peared. At Philadelphia the, usual .bills of health
were restored on the first of November. Other ac-
counts state, that the fever still raged with fury.

It appears from the American Papers, that
Thomas Paine arrived at Baltimore on the 3oth
of Oaober. The common people flocked round
him on his landing. He retired to a tavern and
drank copiously of brandy, which he takes at all
times immoderately, and it gives him a very sottish
appearance. The Americans do not relish the idea
of his coming among them ; his credit has declined
ever since he wrote so disrespeafully on General
WASH t NGTON. He mixes with none but the lower
classes, with whom he- is quite familiar. When
sraking of himself he generally says " We public
Charmers," and loudly boasts of his having been
expressly sent for by President Jefferson.
