GOLEM Q.UIS DICEkr. FAL,SUM AUDZAT

LONDON, JUNE z, 1804.

Pr is with great concern we state, that the last
accounts from St. Domingo prove, that ;he late
Proclamation of General DEssALINrs did not
contain an idle threat against the unfortunate
White Inhabitants of that Island. The Massa-
cres recommended in that Proclamation, have coat.
menced, and DassALzrtcs, in person, generally
superintends the Executions. At Port.azi-Paix and
Jeremie, all the Whites have been put to death,
with the exception of some Women, who consented
to live with the Black Oflicers.---The usual mode
of destroying them was, to collet from ~7.0 to
3o together, and then to bayonet them. The
cruelties exercised upon the unfortunate women are
too dreadful to be detailed.

DESSALINES was proceeding, when the last aC_
counts came away, to Cape Francois, where of course
she same dreadful scenes would be repeated. He has
colleaed a treasure to the amount of one million of
Dollars, which he carries about with him in his pro-
,
gress, on mules.

Tuts morning we received the Halzburgil Cor-
respondenten of the zzd ult. from which we e4trad
the following Articles :

RATISBoM, MAY 54.—This d:iy the Russian
Note communicated to the Diet on the 7th inst.
was taken into consideration. The Delegate for
Bohemia and the Arch-dutchy of Austria declared
vefhally, that Os itdly raw, MAJESTY had con.:
ceived he might e.-.:pea that the French Govern-
ment would itself hare notified to the faith and
season which had induced, and, as it is sppnosed,
might justify, the seizure of persons in the gel-man

Territory in March last. His Majesty, therefore,
thought that there could be no objeftion to an appli-
cation to the French, on the part of the Emperor and
the. Empire, for a sufficient and satisfaelory expla.
nation.

The further consideration of the subjea was then
deferred for six weeks from the 7th inst. Protocol
fixed for the 18th June.
To-day the following Note was given in by
KNUT BILDT, the Swedish Envoy Extraordinary.
" His Majesty the KING. of SWEDEN having been
informed of the contents of the Note given in to
;the Diet of the 7th instant, by order of His
Majesty the EMPEROR of all the RUSSIAS, con-
celves it to be incumbent on him to declare, that
when there is a question of Guarantee of the Ger-
manic Constitution, he, as King of Sweden, may
consider himself as one of the most ancient of its
Guarantees, since he is Guarantee of the Peace of
Westphalia. His Majesty, however, does not
conceive it necessary to declare his sentiments on
the present question, as Guarantee of the Consti-
tution, since he is convinced that the Head of the
Empire can explain them to the Diet. The sen-
timents of the King upon the affairs of Germany
are, besides, too well known, and have too often
been declared, to be repeated on this occasion."
BANK:, DE THE MEIN.—A French Army, it is
said, will soon be assembled on the Upper Rhine.
The Regiments to compose it art expelled from the
interior of France.

WNENsvEtt it has been the will of Ileaventhat
the Personage most dear to this Empire, and on
whom its happiness :chiefly depends, should be vi.
sited with indisposition, it has always been the ob.-
jeft with a certain Party, to paint that indisposi-
tion in such aggravated colours as are best calculated
to spread gloom and despondency over the People.
Such has been invariably the case when that be-,
loved CharaEter hes been suffering under the visita.'
tion of sickness. Nay, to such a malignant excess.
has Party Spirit prevailed on these occasions, that,
though every proof of recov.ered health has been
given that could satisfy the national 40;cwile on a
subjea so interesting, the despicable toolsi of Vaiori
have endeavoured to keep alive that solicitude by
dark hints and mysterious insinuations. At the
present moment, these base artifices are set on foot
in private circulation, and in Prints devoted to the
enemies of Government. The ohjea of these des..
picable artifices at present is, to weaken the in.
fluence of Mr. PITT in Parliament, by exciting a
suspicion that his Administration will be of short.
continuance. We have the happiness, however, of
assuring our Readers, that'-all- these vile ihsinua.:'
Lions are only fabricated by faaious discontent, and.
have no foundation in truth. The health of the-
beloved Chrraaer alluded to, is as perfect as it,
has been for many years. But, even-granting that
this were not the case, can the deluded men who
are so wicked as to propagate these depressing
slanders, fiatter themselves, that if the state of
things were as they wish, Mr. Pt eT would not al--•
ways be regarded by .the People at large as a man
who must be included in any Ministerial Arrange_
ment ? The People repose in his transcendanteta-e
lents and his unimpeachable integrity. They know -
that a wiser and a more disinterested Statesman never
existed, and they are convinced, that whatever
measures he may bring forward, will have no •
objea in view but the honour, the interest, and
the happiness of the Empire.

-Wk yesterday received the Frerrb Paler: of the
2.1.1 ult. which bring some further particulars of the
ceremony of proclaiming BoNAih§,P.TE Emperor on
the zoth ult. •We look forward with the most.
earnest anxiety to the arrival of the next Hainbtruh
Mail, which will probably bring an account of the
manner in which the notification of BONAPARTE'S
assumption of the imperial Dignity has been
received at the Courts of riotna and Ber/im. We
are, however, by no means inclined to suppose that
they will at once rzfuse to acknowledge him in his
new CharaCter, because that would inevitably lead
to an immediate rupture, which, we belive, neither
of those Powers are perfeelly prepared for at present.

Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, tits MAJESTY, the
DUKE Qf LAMER DGE, the QUEEN', and PR IN-
CEsSES, in their usual order, took an airing on the,

up about five.
