Laft night we received Paris Journals to the
tsth, and this motning thofe of the 16th intlant.
Their contents are interefting. We had learnt
before that the French armament had reached St.
Domingo, but we were not informed what kind
of reception it experienced. It now appears that
the Mulatto thinks himfelf as well qualified for
rule as if he were a Cortical).

It is impoflible to calculate all the confequences
that May refult from a comet} in that quarter. By
comparing the details in the Paris papers with the
Grenada Gazette, and with reports contained in
letters from St. Vincent, refpetling Guadaloupe,
it appears that the French iflands muff be in a de-
plorable (Late.
The Moniteur, in an article evidently from an
official quarter, expreffes great furprife that it
could ever have been doubted in England, that
the French Government was not fincere in its de-
fire for the fpeedy reßoration of tranquillity, and
it attacks with pec►►liar feverity the principles and
conduit of the WIADHAM party, both previous
and fubfequent to the figning of the Preliminaries.

As the article is curious, we here give it at
length:—
" Paris, ss Ventofe, March is,

" For there ten days paft all the Englifh Journals
are crying out like madmen for war. Some ora-
tors of the Parliament do not difguife their opi-
nions more. Their hearts Mil but gall.
" The FIRST CONSUL does not with for peace."
The Minifters to whom Europe and humanity owe
fo much, Mr. ADDINGTON, Lord Hawassauay,
&c. arc impofed upon !
41 Yet it is now a fortnight, if we may believe
perfons worthy of credit, tlnce all the articles
were agreed upon at Amiens ; that the difcuffions
with refpte to the wording of (la redaaion) the
articles were terminated, and that if it be nit
figned, it is only that a fait courier is
,expeded
from London.

" What fignifies, then, the language of there tur-
bulent writers ! The advantages which the Preli-
minaries give toGreat Britain are rufficiently great.
But the ton.inental power of France mutt be re-
(trained ! Why then did the King, and the una-
nimous voice of the nation ratify the Prelimina-
ries ? and if it were necefrary to impofe upon
France continental facrifices, why, Mr. GREN-
ViLLE, did you not treat when you had allies, when
their army was encamped upon the Alps, when

eitelltufGan armies were yet doubtful of making a
retrograde. march, and when La Vendee, (till
fmoking, occupied a portion of tile French army?
And fence you did not thank that France was fol.
ficiently enfeebled to attain your end, but (till
thought you ought to continue the war, it was ne•
celfary, Mr. WINDHAM, to dire& it better; it was
necedary that thefe 25,000 men, who were parading
ufelefsly, and at fo much expence, on the coats of
the ocean, and before Cadiz, fliould have entered
Genoa the fame day MELAS did; it was neceirary
not to give the world the hideous and almoil un-
exampled fpc4tacle of bombarding tile fobjeeis of
a King; your ally, even hi his capital, without
declaration of war, and almolt without having tent
back his Ambatrador.

" What di) you hope for ? to renew a coalition.
The cannon of Copenhagen has defiroyed coali•
Lions for so years.
" What would you then ? Pull down the Mi.
nillry, whole wife hand has been able to cure a
part of the wounds you have inflicted. But at
length, if, to afiliaf.ze your ambition, you timid
draw your party into an abyfs of evils, your na-
tion will loon regret the Preliminaries of London,
as it has regretted the armiilice of El-Arifch.
" If the details of the Congrefs at Amiens were
publilhed, the Englifh nation, which holds fuch
a diftinguifhed rank in the world by their deep
and correct -fenfe, and by the liberality of their
ideas, would feel towards the FIRST Cotistn. of
France a new movement of effeem and benevo-
lence, becaufe they would fee that it has not de-
pended upon him that the peace was not prompt,
honourable and etenial. Your I.:w and difgrace-
frd pallion would be '!ifcovered, and !ou could
not long govern a nation which, fpontaneotifly
uniting its voice with that of the whole world,
would point you out as the enemies of men."

The importance of the intelligence received by
the Jail French Journals, and the interetling bufi-
nefs in the City in regard to the Income Tax, have
prevented us from giving in this day's STAR a re-
port of the cafe, tried on Wednefday at Maidllone
Affixes, the ' King at the fait of HENRY JACKSON,
Efq. v. Caron, for defamation. A full detail of
this curious trial Ihall he given to-morrow. The
Defendant was found Guilty.
In confequence of Henry Coca, committed to
Tothill-fields Bridewell, for forging three letters of
Attorney, in the name of Captain Wm. Storey,
of Chatham, and thereby defrauding the Bank of
England of 70001. being fo ferioufly indifpofed as
to prevent his being brought up for re-examina-
tion, Mr. BOND, attended by the Solicitor of the
Bank, and the feveral witnetfes necelfary to prove
the offence, went on Wednefday morning to the
above prifon, where the feveral charges were fully
fubilentiated, and the different parties bound over
to profecute. This unfortunate man is of a genteel
prepoffeffing appearance, rather fhort in tlature,
and appears about twenty•eight years of age.
