The six Deputies who have arrived from Malta,

cit His MAJESTY to keep possession of that Island,
are the Marquis TESTAFERRATA, of a very noble
family, Grandee of Spain; Lieutenant Governor
CASTAGNA, Deputy of the two cities of Bormolo
and Seaglia ; Mr. CACHIA, for Ziaura ; Mut. tA.,
Lieutenant Governor and first Senator of Gozo ;

On Wednesday a numerous meeting of the High-
land Society was held at the Shakspeare Tavern ;
and application having been made by the Society
to the Colonel of the 42(1 Regiment, that dis-
tinguished themselves so highly in the Battle on
the z Ist of ' March, before Alexandria, for Ser-
jeant SINCLAIR, who took the Standard from the
Officer belonging to Bonaparte's Invincibles, to
attend the meeting, he accordingly came from
Winchester, where the Regiment is lying, and had
the honour of dining with the Society. He was
told if he wished to leave the Army the Society
would provide for him in another way : this he de--
clined, and the Society came to a resolution to
procure him a Captain's Commission. The Society
have resolved to have Medals struck in honour of
the Viaory, and to present them to all the Officers
and Men of the Regiment.
The Owners of the East India ships have lately

On Wednesday last came on the Ele6tion of Pro-

The convocation of new States is talked of at
W:rtemberg ; and it is thought this measure will.
put an end to the long distradions .of that country.-,
It is said to be desired, both by the Minister and
the Sovereig►l.
The great scarcity of money in Suribia, which
is so prejudicial to Commerce, is owing to Eccle-
siastical States of that Country, seeing their secu-
larization at hand, are anxious to coned 'their
money, and convert their goods into specie.
.The Courts of Russia and Austria maintain the
greatest intimacy and friendship. The latter will •
feel the advantage of this in the settlement of the •
• Germanic Empire.
While the funeral service was pronounced over
the ELECTRESS-Of the PALATINATE, by the Protes-
tant Clergyman of Carlsruhe, a number of Catho.-
lics attended the ceremony. For some time it
has been observed that a great number of Catholics
of rank attend the Lutheran service.

In the Baillyage of Alpersbach in Wurtemburg,
which is governed by a Protestant Prelate, the
ancient right of Celibataires is still retained. By
it, if a person of either sex die in a state of Celi-
bacy, after having passed their fiftieth year, the
Abbey inherits all his possessions, except Fiefs.
This singular law forms a curious contrast with the
Feudal Government which proteas it.

In the massacres committed by the Negroes, on
the breaking ou. of the Insurreaion in St. Domingo,
it is ascertained that the number of White People
who perished is much greater than was at first gene-
rally imagined. It was originally stated at about
two hundred, next raised to three hundred and
seventy, and the list of sufferers was afterwards
swelled to five hundred. It now, however, ap-
pears, from further investigation and more corral
accounts, that no less than eight him/red, including
men, women, and children, have lost their lives.
The Insurgents are described by those who were
witnesses of the barbarous scenes, and who were
fortunate enough to escape, to have been guilty of
the most atrocious cruelty. Whole parishes were
laid waste by the Conspirators.—The rigour with
which TOUSSAINT. punished the Insurgents, parti-
cularly those who were concerned in the massacres,
was indeed, as he himself observes in his Official
Address, calculated to "strike terror into the most
hardened criminals." In less than fifteen days above
two thousand were executed.

The House of Assembly of Jamaica have voted
23,0001. for the erection of barracks for the recep-
tion of white troops, and to he built in a healthy
part of the interior.—An Address was at the same
time presented to the Lieutenant-Governor (Nu_
GE NT), requesting him to make application, in order
to the Island being relieved from the expences of
the loth Light Dragoons, cavalry being no longer
necessary.

Meetings are held in America for the purpose of
obtaining, from the United States, indemnification
for the spoliations done to the commerce of the
United States, by French cruisers, and which are
stated to amount to upwards of twenty millions of
dollars.
