one of the Secreta.rics of the Plcnipoten-,
tiary Marquis CORNWALLIS, arrived in
Town with it this morning at a quarter

past nine o'clock.

It was signed on Saturday at half past
four o'clock in the afternoon precisely,
in the presence of all the Prefe&s of
the Department, and a vast concourse of
People. The Hall in which the Pleni-
potentiaries met was crouded with Peo-
ple, and the instant the Signature took
place, the air resounded with acclama-
tions. On Saturday evening an illu-
mination took place in all the Towns of
the Department.

Mr. MOORE left Amiens with the
Treaty at half past five on Saturday.
Two Communications were made this
morning to the Lord Mayor : one in
consequence of a notice made last night
by M. OTTO, that the Treaty was a&u-
ally signed ; and the other, after the ar-
rival of Mr. MooRE this morning. The
following is a Copy of the last :

" MY LORD,

(COPY.)

" Downing,Street, March 29, igo2

" MR. MOORS, Assistant-Secretary to Mar.
quis CORNWALL IS, has just arrived with the De-
finitive Treaty of Peace, which was signed at
Amiens on the 27th of this month, by His Ma-
jesty's Plenipotentiary and the Plenipotentiaries of
France, Spain, and the Batavian Republic.

" I have the Honor to be,
• " My Lord,
" Your Lordship's most obedient humble Servant,
(Signed) HAWKESBURY.
" To the Right lion. the Lord Mayor."

As soon as the Treaty is returned from
Windsor, whither it was immediately
dispatched to His MAJESTY, the joyful
event will be announced by the firing of
the Park and Tower guns, the ringing of
bells, &c. &c. &c.

A Gazette was printing when this Pa-
per was put to Press, announcing merely
the arrival of the Treaty. Its official
publication here will not take place till
after the Ratification, unless the French
should chuse to give it to the world
through the medium of the Moniteur.

YESTERDAY we received French Journals to the
zsth inst. inclusive. Their contents relate chiefly
to St. Domingo.

The Proclamation of General LE CLERC is de-
signed to enforce an exatl discipline among his
troops ; but the dispatch from Admiral VILLARET_
JOY EUSE is little more than a duplicate of the Ge-
neral's letter, as the Fleet had no opportunity of
being brought into effeftive operation.
By a Letter from Admiral Li NO IS to the Admi-
ral in Chief, it appears, that the Dessaix, a Line
of Battle Ship, commanded by Captain PALL r ERE,
who distinguished himself near Algesiras, has been
totally lost.
Admiral VILLARET has addressed a Letter to
the British Commander in Chief off Jamaica, in
which he expresses his confidence, that as Peace is
restored between Great Britain and France, the
British Commander will not only refuse all suc-
cour and refuge to the Rebel Colonists, but will
even assist the French Army with such Articles of
Provision, as the necessity of their circumstances

,may require.
Admiral GANTHEAUME'S Squadron arrived at
Cape Francais on the t7th ult.
The French Funds were at 56 fr. 65 c.

A Dutch Mail arrived yesterday, morning.—
The Provisionary Government of Amsterdam, have
issued a Proclamation to all those under its ju-
risdidion, informing them of certain new regula-
tions, which are intended to remedy the state of
public credit in that city, which has long been the
subjea of complaint. The other articles of foreign
intelligence have been anticipated by the arrival of
French Papers.
Yesterday a Hamburgh Mail also arrived. The
only important intelligence that it contains, relates
to Tc-4-key. in Europe, which is described as one
wide `theatre of commotion and disorder. Romelia
is in a state of insurreaion, Adrianople is besieged
by banditti, and the efforts of the Porte to subdue
the. Insurgents have hitherto proved fruitless.
The Mail which became due yesterday, is not
arrived,

THE last Accounts which have reached France
from St. Domingo, and which we received by the
Paris Papers do Saturday, are not less interesting
than the former Dispatches. They contain an ac-
fount of the Expeditions against Santo Domingo, Port
au Prince, and Port de Paix, all of which, as
might have been expeaed, were attended with suc-
cess. There is no detail with respect to the first,
but much relative to the other two ; on these two
points, as well as at the Cape and Fort Dauphin,
the Negroes made as vigorous and obstinate (though
not so skilful), a resistance as could have been effe&-
ed by the best regular Troops. They disputed
Port au Prince, inch by inch ; and they appear to
have fought with no less obstinacy and effea at
Port de Paix, which they did not quit till they had
set on fire and blown up two forts. Previous to
these two attacks, which were entrusted to Gene-
rals BOUDET and HUMBERT, they attempted, in
vain, every means of conciliation, to induce
the Negroes to permit them to land without mo-
lestation'; who replied, as at the Cape, by a decla-
ration, that their landing would be a signal for the
massacre of the Whites, and the destruftion of the
Towns and Plantations. This uniformity in the
condua and language of all the Negro Comman-
dants at the different posts attacked, proves that
TOUSSAINT had previously combined his plan of
defence, and that he was not taken by.surprize, as
some have represented.
No other important expedition had taken place
when the dispatches came away, but preparations
were making for an attack by sea against Conti/lies
and another against Mole St. Nicholas, whilst Ge-
neral LECLERC announces his intentions of advan.
cing on the next day with a part of his troops in-
to the Mountains, to endeavour to possess himself
of the positions of Dondon and Plaisance.
The point of view in which these dispatches are
most important is, that they fully develope the re-
lative situation of TOUSSAINT and the French Re-
public, and leave no doubt of their being decided
enemies ; and that a destructive and bloody war must
ensue between them. It appears that General
LECLERC had made TOUSSAINT many proposals,
and had, during several days, endeavoured to lead
him to obedience by magnificent promises, and par-
ticularly by that of making him his Lieutenant-Ge-
neral. The ambitious and crafty Black Chief tem-
porised, and sought to amuse the French General,
but could not be induced to accede to his propo-
sitions. The latter, in consequence of this con-
duft, declared TOUSSAINT and CNILISTOPHI Out-
laws and Rebels by a Proclamation, in which, hnw_
ever, he gives them
the title of Generals. It ap-
pears as if he had some hopes of General DESSA.
LINES, or that he flattered himself he should be
able to cause a division between him and the other
two Black Chiefs, as the French General has not
included him in the Proclamation. This Proclama-
tion contains many threats, but at the same time,
with much good policy, it leaves an opening for the
desertion of the Negroes ; which is the principal
support of the hopes of the French, and upon which
they must, in a great meaaure, depend for the ulti-
mate success of their expedition.
The Squadrons of the Admirals GANTHEAUME
and Lustots had arrived at St. Domingo, the one on ,
the z rth, and the other on the r7th of February.
The former met with bad weather, and two Cor-
vettes were so much damaged as to be obliged to
return to Europe. Admiral 'Allots was still more
unfortunate ; not having good Pilots on board, he
approached too near the rocks at the Cape, on which
two Ships of the Line, the Dessaix and the St.
Gennaro, struck. They got the last into Port, but
the Dessaix was entirely lost, with the exception of
the Crew.
Those who read with attention and discernment
the dispatches of General Leerleec and Admiral
VILLARET, will find ample reason to believe the
truth of the information which we gave on Satur-
day, relative to St. Domingo, and the probability of
the consequences which we deduced from it. As
we foresaw, the French have rendered themselves
masters of all the maritime places which they have
attacked ; but we see with regret, that we were not
deceived in supposing that the Negroes had formed
a firm resolution of resistance. Every thing shews
that they are irreconcileable enemies to the Whites,
and that they do not expeft, neither will they listen
to any terms of accommodation, It appears that
they have committed, at Port an Prince, two gis
which ought not to leave those who were guilty
any hope of pardon. When the French disem-
barked, the Negroes cried out to them, that an or-
der had arrived to permit them to advance, in con.
sequence of which a French Battalion pushed for-
ward, and were met by a shower of cannon balls
and bullets. Driven from the Town, the Negroes
carried with them into the Mountains, 300 Whites,
the Aid-de-Camp of General BOUDET, and a
Lieutenant of Marines, who had been sent to them
under Flags of Truce.

The expulsion of the Negroes from the Maritime
places and the Coast, has been followed by An event,
of which-we expressed our fear, the Destruaion ol
the Plantations, and the ravage of the Plains, which
will leave nothing to the French but ruins and
ashes, and will destroy, for a long time to come,
the means of cultivation and of produce
This circumstance is confessed in the French dis-
patches to have much diminished the satisf,aajc'n
arising from the first successes of the Expedition!
Another point of view Must also be contemplated
with chagrin : it appears, that with the exception
of some Whites and a Black General, and 150 Sol-
diers who have deserted from TOUSSAINT, no 'lm"
• portant defedion has taken place, whilst the greater
part of his Troops have withdrawn into the motto"
tains. They are there less subject to desertion
than in the Plains ; for it is reasonable to suPP°9°
that if they were not quite firm in their fidelity,
the moment in which they were first struck by thg'
appearance of the Fleet, and the power of the
• French, would have been that in which they were
most likely to have been induced to submit t° th°
Republican Whites.
It appears that the difficulties of the enterriza
have more and more affeaed General LecLERc ;
and that he has in consequence neglected no means
•to ensure it a happy termination. He has sent two
frigates to Cuba for 700 Mulattoes, formerly rat'
titans of RIGAUD, whom he will arm against
TOUSSAINT. This aid wilt be more useful to ili°l
than some thousands of French troops ; and in pro'
moting a deadly war between the Negroes And thee
Mulattoes, he will have the advantage of
off one against the other.
The Hospitals and Provisions have engroSseel the
del
attention of the French General, who has ft
ry
with respect to these two objeds, every neeessa;
regulation. To provide for the wants of the A'rrit
a Frigate has been sent to the United States
of
America, and another to Jamaica, bearing a f
ter from Admiral VILLARET to the Governor
that Island. The heat of the Climate, the fatigue
of the Service, and the wants to which the French
Soldiers have Fen compelled to submit, _ appear to
have caused scm • disorders ; in consequence
which, their Chief has published several severe rem
gulations, and established Military Comulissi°6°
instead of Republican Juries. ,

enterprize must doubtless induce them to Per-e

the French General and Admiral continue to flats— f
their Government with the approaching conquest
