t, temper of the company, for in the course of the

PORT 4J.7. P BINC:Li; 6411 'I, IrEs. t to, 1 8 10.

The following letter contains some interesting
particulars re,petling the present state of Si. Do-
mingo :

"This place being open to all foreigners, without
r_rdistinelion or cognizance, hai latterly, from the in-
trusion of several vagabonds, in some res, e&, been
more like ,a receptacle. for felons' than a civilized
country ;. and, what is worse, there"is no justice to
be got here,' although the property or person of an
individual be ever so much injured. Indeed, there
have been instances lately of foreigners being assas-
sinated; and after recourse was had .to the caws of
the country for redress (which, to give them their
due, are admirably well calculated fbr the pu.per
administration of justice)—alter even the Judges of
the Supreme Tribunal had given their judgment„
the President 'prevented its being put in execution,
in consequence of the delinquents having bribed the.
Chief General of Arrondissement, as he is so styled.
Olcourse, you know, Petion, the President of this.
part of the island, is represented as
.the supported
of Liberty and Equality, and Christophe, as that of
Monarchy and Despotism. The for Mer; of course,
will-appear far preferable to the latter in the eyes of
every enlightened person. But the truth is, Petion,
I may rather say, his principal officers (as -he is little
more than a mere cypher himself, for he is as judo-.
lent as a sloth) are as much bent on despotism as
Christophe, if not more so. Christophe chews his
intentions without the least deCeption ; but Petion
makes many flattering professions to the inhabitants
and foreigners, but when tried, they are always
found deceitful.

Christophe's fleet consists of two ships, nine
brigs, and thiee.schooners, and a large ship is soon
expeaed from America. which will soon become a
legal prize to Admiral Rowley, on the Jamaica sta7,
tion. About two months since, Petion's fleet went
out in pursuit of that of Christophe's, dud, con-
trary to their wish, fell in with them. However,
the wind being in their favotir for their return,
they turned their heads, and did not lower sail till
.they got safe into port; and, for fear that the Pre-
sident should order them immediately to sea again,
they told a most lamentable story, that they had
experienced boisterous weather, had narrowly es-
caped being shipwrecked, and that all the vessels
'bad suffered much damage. The tab was, they
were scut to convoy two or three American
schooners with provisions to the Mole, in the pos-
session of Petion, but situated in the middle of
Christophe's territories, but, unfortunately, on their
way they were informed that his fleet was cruiztng
off that place. •
" The Chief Admiral is always very unwell when
the fleet is ready to sail, but soon recovers after it
. leaves port, so that his fortunate indisposition pre-
vents him running any risk of being killed or taken.
,prisoner. They are talking of havipg another cam-
paign this spring. Business is very dull here at pre-
sent, and-this Government is adopting every means
iu their poster to oppress foreigners. A laW has
been promulgated since the Ist of January, prohibit-
ing foreigners from retailing or doing any business
in any part of the island, except at the . four open
ports; and those that continue to trade here must
pay 1000 dollars per annum for such liberty. The
country is in a very unsettled state at present; 4
person can hardly depend on his life or property -a
night, as there is always
.soine plot forming by the
Chiefs. From the ideas of liberty and equality,
which every one is' possessed of, the meanest and
most illiterate negro conceives himself as well en-
- titled and qualified to fill the President's place, as
he is himself. - One of the Chief Generals was assas-
sinated a week since, under ,pretence that he was
forming a plot against the President, but the truth
of this is not yet ascertained."

ARctENT,Mustc.—The Earl of UXBRIDGE pre-
Sided last night as Director at the seventh perform-
ance of this . excellent Concert. —The Dukes
clf CUMBERLAND and CAMBRIDGE, the Duchess of
BRUNSWICK, and a •large party of the higher orders,
were present. The selection was chiefly from
HANDEL, and was most ably supported by Mrs.
BILLINGTON, HARRISON, W. KNYVETT, and BAR-
TLEMAIki: Greater latitude seems to prevail in this
Concert, and compositions are, performed that have
not attained the antiquity 'formerly deemed indis-
pensable. They are; however, well entitled to ad-
mission by their intrinsic merit,

ORATORIO,.--A considerable tumult arose last
night at Covent-Garden Theatre, in consequence of
the unexpe&ed indisposition of CATALANI, who be-
ing unable to perform her part in a manner credit-
able. to ,herself, a printed apology-was circulated
through the. Theatre. The purpose was.not to apo-
logise for absence, but to solicit indulgence, as she
attended in her place, and attempted to sing the al-
lotted airs. It was, however, evident, after a very.
few bars, that she was unable to perform, and we
were much ,surprised that. the generous charaEter of
Englishmen did no; appear in her favour, particu-
larly as she has always appeared. very desirous of
gratifying the public by repeating her songs without
hesitation. But the audience were last night very
harsh in their treatment of her. BELLANII and
ASHLEY attempted to appease them, but in vain.
At length, however, the exertions of BR A HAM and
the rest of the Performers allayed the fury of the
storm, and produced a temper more congenial to
our countrymen. The house was crowded. ,

• The Theatrical Fund of Covent Garden is; it
seems, overwhelmed by the number of claimants.
The rerpedy, in a great degree, lies with the pro-
fession, for if they were resolutely to exert them-
selves, and, the first Performers were to support an
annual benefit, the public, doubtless, for the sake
of their own pleasure, would strongly patronize so
laudable an institution.

The remains of, ancient sculpture left to the
Dowager Lady LANS.DOWNE, have been valued at
6,0001. They were originally collected by GAVIN
HAMILTON, the celebrated artist, at Rome, and
were purchased of him by the first Marquis of LANS..
DOWNIL Most of them were dug out of fields in
the vicinity of that city.
In the Sheriff's Court, at Shrewsbury, on Tues-
day last, Mr. GRANT, of that town, obtained a vet--
di6l, with 1481. 14s. l 1 cl. damages, against J.
WYNNE, Esq. of Garthmeilio, Denbighshire, for
lodging and necessaries furnished to the Defendant's
wife, in consequence of her being refused admit-
tance into tier husband's house.
