in consequence Of a signal defeat by the Blacks,
had re.embarked, with, the intention of returning
to Europe. We havee-nd doubt of their embarkation
taking place•in consequence of orders froth home,
and we have as little doubt that it is .the wish of
BON&PARTE to temporize with us till he gets his

St. Domingo Squadron safe into an European port.
In this view we hope he will be disappointed. The
present is the moment for us to strike, and we trust
our Ministers have wound up their courage to the
blow.

While a' hope of the continuance of Peace re.
trained, we were the zealous advocates for its pre.
nervation, upon any terms short of a 'sacrifice of the
honour and interests of the Country. We have
Uniformly approved of the experiment of Peace....
that it his failed we deplore ; but this Country has
tuttch to console and to animate it, in the midst of
the struggle which it must renew. It has to boast
of Talents and Integrity in Public Life, unex.
ampled in the world—Let these be called into ac_
tion, and there are no difficulties so great that we
may not hope, with the aid of Providence, to
overcome.

The Funds were this forenoon still steady. The

"i he nit-et-tors of the Bank of Scotland, who had

Broker, that they considered the bargains to have

Private Letters, it is said, bring intelligence that
the whole inhabitants of St. Domingo, of all Co-
lours, had become so tired of the vexatious tyranny
of the French, as at last to have resulved to get rid
of them by any means.—ln consequence, the re-
port adds, they had united their strength, and at last
compelled the French Troops to evacuate the
Island.

If it be true that the French Troops have eva,
euated that Island, it was most probably in purse
ante of orders received from France.

The Statistic Society of Paris, have resolved to

Minister had thanked the French Ambassador in the

ing the evacuation of Egypt by the English troops,
and that the REIS EFFENDI had declared tit* the
SULTAN was ready to renew the ties which united
Prance and the Porte, particularly with respeEt to
Commerce. These absurd tales, under the form of
letters from Constantincpb, art so evidently mann-
hattred at Paris,
.that they scarcely deserve notice.
One of the Paris Papers contains the formal all
of ratification by His Isar ER IAL 'MAJESTr of the
final Conclusum of the Germanic-Diet, in which,
however, there are several reservations. Amongst
other points, the EMPEROR reserves himself for a
future decision with resped to the votes in the Col.
lege of Princes, it still being very naturally the fa-
vourite object of His IMPea.iAL MAJESTY ,to obtain,
if not a prepinderance 'on the Catholic side, at least an
equality of Votes between the two Religions. HoW
far the House of Austria will succeed in•this objea,
is matter of considerable ..floubt, as from a concur.
