We have received advice, today from St. Domingo
of a gratifying although nest of an unexpected nature.
Pi not/ and Cuittsroesue, the rival Chiefs of that
Island; have cordially, united fur the purpose of re-
polling by force of arms every attempt to tubjugatt
the colony, or, to excite revolt and civil war. PErioN,

A mission to St: Domingo, composed of such ma-

GitAtip SEIGNIOL—.-This report 'reconsider as rest:-
ing on no better authority than the various rumours
in the Continental journals.
It must be the earnest wish of every Power to avoid
a renewal of hostilities ; but it is also possible that
some of them may have an equally earnest desire to
acquire possessions, not to be obtained without risking
even the possibility Of war. Even greedy statesmen
would at all times prefer acquisitions without war;
but they often miscalculate the forbearance of others.
If powerful they arrapt to conclude that those they are
about to wrong will rather submit than hazard resist-
ance.. Elk for this belief they would sometimes refrain
—they would not, even for the object in view, go di.
rectly to war, but count upon the fears of the weaker
Power, and make the demand. The foundation for
a rupture is thus laid, and one or other party gets
committed. A tincatening demonstration, not in-
tended to be carried into effect, rouses the other party
to preparation—in a word, war follows. We consi-
der Europe as, at this moment, exactly in some of
the circumstances we have stated. Time will thew
whether our opinion is well founded.

The death of S. ADUT ALY, the Nabob of Onde,
will cause some embarrassment. He is supposed to
have left from 17 to 18 millions sterling of specie in
his Treasury ! There is a dispute between his two
'sous about the succession to his throne, in which Lord
Moults is to arbitrate ; and. the above immense sum'
will, it is said," be offered to the East India Company,
whose debts it would almost pay off." No reason is'
assigned why the East India Company should thus
have their debts discharged : but if the property of the
Nabob of Ouoc is to become the perquisite of those
who want it most, might not the British Ministers at ,
home as well supply themselves out of is with a year's'
Income Tax, of which they stand so much in need ?
—And while we are debating on the Disposal of a
property to which we have no right, it in iy be but
proper to bestow. a thought on the ma finer in which
it was acquired.. The Nabob of ()Vat) who has
actually died, as is stated, worth money enough in
ipaie to disclaarge the debts of the East India Com •
?any, or to supply Great Britain with a year and
a half's income-tax, is, the public will be happy
to bear, that same poor Prio,:e whom Lora Wet..
Lesixy was said to have reduced to such reme-
diiess beggary, that he could never more hold
ap his head. The truth is, that when SADUT
Attu came to the government of Oude, he was noto-
riously in great distress .; and it is under the arrange.
ments of the Marquis WELLEiLEY that he has risen to
such opulence. We need say pio more, therefore, in
the way of argument upon this subject : the facts
themselves, without our aid, argue unamaierably
We have only, to express a wish, that other' great
Statesmen may, like his Lordship, have the same
means of refuting, their calumniators ; and that the'
disposition of the /kTabc,z) of 'DUDE'S property may be
u tair and honourable, as all just means of acquiring
it were left free and unfettered.

Yesterday was the settling day at the Stock Ex-
change, and the aCCCAIitt WAS the largest that has,
been known for miry years. Several brokers had
for the last two mouths been making large purchases,
on the pacific result of the Negotiations at Ghent ;
and one in particular, who is known to be Agent to
the principal houses in the City, concerned in com-
mei eta' transactions with the United States, took
Stock to the amount of one million eight hundred
thousand, and would' have made it two millions;
hut the remainder could not be procured. Another
Broker, in the same line, took to the amount of half
a million, and it was remarked that the quantity of
Stock that passed into the names of Noblemen and
persons of re.,l property was unprecedented. Much to
the credit of the Stock Exchange there was not a sin-
dcfaulter.
NVe inserted a letter yesterday, explaining the in-
tention of the Lids of the Privy Council, with re.
gard to the early restoration of the. Arwrican traje,
but it has been asserted very currently in the mer-
cantile circles that this letter concedes nothing which
is not a necessary consequence of the approaching ter.
mination of hostilities with the • United States. On
the contrary, it eniverts into a certainty, as to the ac-
celeration of the intercourse, what would only be a
matter of supposition or presumption ; it saves the
duty of 5 per cent. to which cargoes destined to Ber-
muda, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick would
otherwise be liable ; it further excuses the party con-
cerned from a chaige nearly equal to 5 per cent. for
unloading, landing, and re-embarking thecommodi-1
ties which are intended for the American markets ;
and, lastly, it gives the assurance of convoys to pro-
tect the navigation.
The promptitude sought by the licences, which had
been applied for with so much importunity, will thus
be acquired without the infraction of any public prin-
ciple, as the news of the confirmation of the Treat)
by the American Executive Power 'will reach the,
three situations above referred to, as soon as any'
ship to be leden in British ports will be enabled to
aztive.on the coast. _

Respecting
.the Treaty itself, report says, that there
are only two matters reserved for the Commissioners
to settle. The one is the road from St. John's to
Montreal, through a distance of about 400 miles,
which will intersect SO or 40 leagues of the province
of Maine ; and the only reserve w;th regard to this
is tke compensation to the United States fur the pri-
eili ges of road-way, which' is to be adjusted by Com-
missioners ; the other is the possession of goose
island, so named from a description of cher with
which it formerly abounded ; with respect to this,
Commissioners are to employed to determine the
latitode, in order to tiiiicover whether the vrtion of
l'assatnaquAdy DJ y, in which it is situated, ts, accor-
ding to the limits of the former Treaty, within the
iime of deniarcation appertaining to Great Britain
the United States. According to their ttetNrmina-
tion this country is-either to surtendei it, or to retain
the permigen; 9cOPP4tioP of it.
