LONDON, DECEMBER 6,18 oz.

WE yesterday received the Paris Papers to the
zd instant. The Moaiteur of the Ist communi_
cates some intelligence from St. Domingo, which is
said to have been, brought by General BOUDET,
who areived at ilavre.a'e.:Grace on the zsth.ult.
after a passage of 6o days, fiOM that Island. The
French Forces are represented, in this account to
have amounted in September last to 23,500 men,
exclusive of a Corps of 4.000 Blacks. Of this
number one-fifth were at that time in the Hospitals,
and the loss which the French have sustained since
they landed on, the Island, is said to haVe been one_
fifth ; but it is singular that if the French possessed, as
this account states, £9,000 effective Men fit for
service, that they should not have been able to pre-
vent the Blacks from extending their ravages even
to the vicinity of CapeTorant.
If no intelligence of a more recent date had been
received from •St. Domingo, we-should not beinalin_
ed to give this statement implicit credit ;. but we
know that accounts of a considerably later • date
have been received, and that the French, so far
from possessing a large effeCtive force, capable of
offensive operations, were scarcely in a situation to
defend themselves:, from the attacks of their oppo-
nents. We have every reason to believe indeed
the account which we received from jumaica,
and which, we stated in our Paper of .Friday last, of
the re-embarkation of LECLERC, with the small
remnant of his Army,..-amounting only to tsoo
Men, to be perfealy'cOrieft..

The Dept.,i,gion,.of the Empire has held its
twenty-eighth Sitting, at which it was resolved to
prepare with speed a definitive Colieltuum. The
Imperial Minister communicated a Decree of Im-
perial Commissio.n,.which calls upon the D.tputation
not to separate until they hatie decided upon the
lot of those ?rinces and Ecclesiastical Corporations
who have been entirely dispossessed of their terri-
tories by the cession of the left Bank of the Rhine.

By a Decree of the Helvetic&tate tte Pairiats
are ordered individually to restore the money and
effeets belonging to the Government which they
had seized during the late contest. The Patriots
who were arrested at Zurich, are stated to have
been carried off under a French Escort,' but it was
not known whither. -
The French Funds are 53,
