quence trivial, and even that carded on through the
medium of foreign vessels. These restrictions are
now, however, removed, as will be seen by the Pro-
clamation of the PIiSSIDIINT of the United States, and
the Cotkvention on which it is founded, which we
insert below.
These Papers bring some intelligence relating to St.
Domingo, which is very questionable. Captain Cit Aida,
3RIRJ.II IN, who arrived at Norfolk from St. Jago de
Cuba, states, that a day or two before he sailed, ac-
counts had been received from Samana, that a French
fleet, consisting of six or seven frigates, had arrived
in that bay ; that the Officer went on shore, and an
impOrtant negotiation was going on, the object of
which was supposed to relate to a cession of a tart of
St. Domingo to the French Government.
Such is the report in the American Papers; but we
cannot think the French Government so mad as to
entertain the idea that they can ever recover St. Do-
mingo. They might as well attempt to wrest the
Canadas from us, for it is quite as practicable as the
other.—The following are the documents to which
we have alltkded:
BY TIIE PRESII)ENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

The last advices from Turkey, which reach down
to the 19th ult. are entirely destitute of information
respecting the pending differences between the Rus-
sian and Ottoman Governments. The frightful de-
tails of the excesses which still continue to be com-
mitted between the Greeks and Turks, are beyond
all parallel ; and, by the following extract of a letter,
it would appear•that those excesses are not confined
to one party :
" SMYRNA, MAY 14.

" The news of last night is, that the Capitan Pacha had left Scio
for Hydra and Ypsara, in proceeding to which he fell in with the
Greek fleet, which drove him back beyond Scio. The Greeks
laid hold of tw•o boats loaded with Turks, and put every one to
de:th. The other day news came from the Norm that the
Greeks, having taken some Turks, dug a hole in the earth, put
them in, leaving only their heads out, then greased their heads
and faces, and put sugar and honey on them, and left them to be
rung to death by the bees."

Yesterday, his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK
held a Levee as Commandcr-in-Chief, at his Office,
in the Horse Guards, which was attended by between
thirty and forty Military Officers.

The new Emperor of Mexico, ITURRIDE, is only 32
years of age. He was born at Valladolid, in Mexico,
in 1790 ; and in 1810 .xas a Lieutenant in the Army :
he is said to be a handsome man, five feet ten inches
high, full formed, and well proportioned. Of his
talents as an Officer he has given unquestionable proofs.
A leter dated Utica, June 25, says—" Gen. PETER
B. PORTER, and the Ilon.AtcruoNT BA IMLAY, CO9lMlS-
sinners under the 6th article of the treaty of Ghent,
together with the Agents and Secretaries, met in the
village on Tuesday last, and alter a Session of four
days, concluded amicably the decision. We under-
stand three thousand islands have been surveyed and
adjndlcated."
The A met ican Papers mention, that, on 19th June,
Manuel Tot res was presented to the President of the
United S:a es, and received in his cflicial capacity, as
Charge d'Affaires, from the Republican Government
of Columbia.

AN UNDUTIFUL SON.—In the Court for the relief
of Inswlvent Debtors, the Will of a Mr. C— was
read, containing the following remat kable passage :
" I leave to my Undutifil Sun, One Hundred
Thousand Pounds!
SINGULAR CIRGUMSTANCIE.—The servant of n Mr.
BAKER, at Gibraltar, lately took an opportunity, in
the absence of his master, to commit a robbery. flay ing
found the key of the iron chest, in which he knew ills
employer was accustomed to deposit very considerable
snms, he opened it, and helped himself to 7500 dol-
lars. Ile then left the garrison with his booty, and
e‘caped into Spain. A few days afterwards he was
found cruelly murdered. It is supposed that he had
an accomplice, who took this method of possessing,
himself of the whole of the property which bad been
purloined, for when the deceased was found no por-
tion of the money was discovered about his person.

Saturday, a match of running took place on Barham Downs,
between the Gentlemen of Bridge and the Gentlemen of Bishops-
bourne, which was won by the latter in fine style.
ESCAPA or A Paisoxit.—Sunday evening, after the prisoners
had been to Chapel in the House of Correction, at Brixton, one
of them, named Jahn OsbJrne, who had only been committed to
that prison on Thursday, was missing; a search took place, when
it was found that hi bad effected his escape over the prison wall
by meanspla rope. His escape was known in about five minutes
after it had taken place ; but, notwithstanding several of the Offi-
cers went in pursuit, they did not succeed in retaking him.

An important change is said to be in contemplation
relative to the transportation of felons: as it has been
found that banishment to a place so much praised a%
New South Wales has no terrors to the guilty, it
has been proposed to substitute Bermuda as the place
of exile, and to einploy the convicts on the numerous
Government works commenced on that island. For
the youthful convicts, it is proposed to send them to
ous settlements on the coast• of Africa, there to be re-
gimented and disciplined, and, if possible, reformed.
PIDDINO and Co. No. 1, Cornbill, remind the
Public, that on a former occasion, when an option
was given of returning Shares and receiving back
the principal part of the purchase-money, the £BO,OOO
Prizes were returned, and re-purchased by fresh Ad-
venturers; on that occasion, two of the Capitals so
returned were resold •by PIDDINO and Co. and from
the present demand for some of the cast off, or re-
turned Shares, -there seenis an expectation that the
'same thing will occur again, and that the FOUR Ca-
pitals of £BO,OOO and ao,ooo Consols (the latter of
which will be decided by the first-drawn Prize Nazi.
TU&BDAY) may easily be obtained by 'purchasing
some of the second-hand Shares now on Sale at Pio-
