YESTERDAY the Earl of Ct4asrbies_Reginient of
Cheshire Cavalry, on permanent duty here, was
reviewed by His Royal Highness •the Dux of
GLOiTCESTER and PRINCE WIA.LIAIki FREDERICK,
on the Sands. The day was very Ordavcittrahle
notwithstanding which -the Regiment went through
a great variety of movements, which were petformed
with a rapidity and accuracy that gained them the
highest encomiums. They afterward-i trottett by
in review order, and finished with a-charge, of the
line. After which the DUKE and PRINCE WIL.
•LIAM were plea,sed to express to thOColonel, Sir
JOHN LEICESTER, their entire approbation and
great satisfaction at the perfedion to which the
Regiment had arrived, and requested that Sir JOHN
would cause their serititnenti to be communicated to
every individual of it.
It is highly creditable to this fine Corps, con-
sisting of more than three hundred and
_fifty per.'
ions, that not a man was absent•but from sickness,
as it strikingly proves that a laudable zeal prevails
throughout the whole of it to discharge the duties
they have undertaken.

NEW YORK, AllOl, 23.

Extraa of a Letter from Aux Cayes, to a Gentleman in
Baltimore, dated July ts.

gi This will serve, to inforth you, that the Eng.
lish Admiral, who has communication with the
Negroes of this Island, 'has put 'it into rite head of
General I)EssALINBB to,cause himself to be pro..
claimed Emperor of Hayti,' and he is to be crown.
ed in, a few days at 13ort.au-Prince.'?
We have stated, on information which will not
be contradiCted, that Spain has refused to ratify the
Convention heretofore agreed on ; which Conven-
tion, among other stipulations, allowed the Citi.
zens of the United States an indemnity for the spo.
liations committed on their property by the Go.
vernment and Subjeeta of Spain. The reason assigned
by CIiVALLos for this refusal 'was expressed thus
‘, The accession of Louisiana has so varied the
relations between Spain and the United States, that
we cannot and will not ratify the CoOvention."—
Hence it appears, that the boasted acquisition of
Louisiana, which has been so tynch trumpeted and.
celebrated by our 'leading-string Administration,
and for which we bane paid Fifteen- Millions of
Dollars, or nearly. .one.fifth psrt of the whole
amount of our National Debt, may cost Fifty. Mil..
lions more to quiet the possession. This- boasted
bargain turns out tn,,be -nothing more than a,•put..
chase of individual injury and national dishonaut..7--.

We learn from Capt. PERRY„ 0:14e Schooner.
'Lively, from the City of Sr. Domingo, 'that- no at-
tack has been , made on that place by the Inds .
nous Army, nor was. such an event expeeted, the
Troops being stationed at a con.-iderable di,tance.
The Island thrOUghout was tranquil. An
terrupted Intercourse. was 'permitted 'to' A;nerican
Vessels by tho British Blockifsling'Squadron„
lay there for the avowed purpose of intercepting- a
French Fleet daily expected with reinforcements.---

Letter front Lieutenant Cowen, of the Leakier, to Captain
Skene, of the same Ship.

11,
In con,!ccrence 'of the publications in the New.
York Papers, refl.:ding on the beliavionr of the
commanding Officer of this Ship, I 'beg leave to
state the circumstances respecting the Cicero, as far
as I can recoiled them :-.-.Na shot was fired at the
Cicero after she came within hail ;- I spice her from
the Ship, and desired she would `heave to; she did
so, hut not cm the same tack as Ourselves, as she
ought to have done. I then .put off in the boat,
and rowed about half a mite to lier,• examined the
Ship'. Papers in the cabin, during which time there
was a Lady present, to wham I put a fete questions,
as to her health during the' voyage. On taking the
Matter for Newspapers, he said, the latest was the
sth of June, which he ofrered, but I deelirA his
oar, as we had them to the 7th. I ,le,,ired hitn to•
wear and 'rand towards the ',emitter, as the distance
was becoming considerable, tram the Ships heads be.
i„g in Oppaiiie direetinn4 : he did so ; I
.came on
deck, mu•tered and examined his people, and those
of the Rambler, which he told the they had run
down. They inquired for the Ship George. I ex.
amined the list, and informed them of her being
boarded the preceding day.
The Master at one time observed on the hardship
of stopping the Americans within sight of their own
ports. I agreed with him, that it must be a great
:antisyrnect Is their trade, 'but that when the Papers
were sati,fadore, the detention was trifling, and we
were compelled to do it to prevent the Enemy's
vessel's from escaping wider the Neutral Fiag ; and
that when the French Frigates came out of the Port,
they would not bean closely watched. There were
strong marks of discontent on the Master's coun.
tenance when I spoke to him, which I am convinced
was the cause army retnarking so particularly what
happened on board her ; for it is almost impossible,
when an Officer blards 'so many vessels during a
Cruize, that, lie should, recolleCt every occurrence.—
If this assertion is not sufficient to cot tr:ldid the
Master's statement, I will mention the wanes of '
several Slaps. and Masters wlmot I have examined*,
(Citizens of America, and to aid entire Strangers),'
al a refer-to them, whether -my conduit as an Offieer
sent to make a striitt examination: of their Papers,
was not such as they had a right to exited from me
as a Gentleman..

I am, Sir, ',cur humble Servant,
