constancy and enthusiasm which characterlss the sole
diers of liberty ; in order to contrast with these quali-
ties, if possible, the strength of soul which is inspired
by the desire to become the titled' slaves of Napoleon,
and the ambition of plundering Europe. And whence
can the-French Generals acquire that energy,. which
Souk confesses the French Generals want, and which
can proceed only from patriotism ?"

We have been favoured with a copy of the General
Orders issued by the President of Hayti, after the re.
cent victory over the troops of his rival Petion, 0:
which the following is an extract

" July 1. 1D09.2r,.
" On the 10th of April; the rebel Petion announced, in a Pra
clamation, that he was making great preparations to relievt•l::s ac
consplicelomarre who was closely blockaded at the 11101.: A
levy es Mane of all the forces of the. South, aud of pan of thos':
is
the West, in possession of the libels, numerous regui.itions
of
young and old, and even those who filled civil employmehti,
were destined to this euterprize.
' . " The rebelis appeared with all their disposeable force, thwart!.
the middle. of June, before Mirabelais, Isavieg at their he,ul their
two perUious leaders, Petion and Guerin. But havin! mad,
some movements as if they intended to attuk
the sOole of their force defiled, under the command of tEr rod
David Trois. Lys, Bourdet, and others, were under the ordered
•"/1-ois. They appeared before the quarter of Du Sourde,ttrtstoi„
ing that of Grande Rivicre, and -flattering themselves sm,
thing less, in their silly expectations, than to arrive at the sztst,c
1 of the e

" The President immediately ordered some troop!,
tw,
squadrons of his horse-guards, to overwhelm the relish. gli,4
was.their activity and ardour, that the rebels had not tare to o.
copy a Single position. They were briskly attacked, ard throw.:
into such confusion, that they bad not time to remove their deador wounded, wham they left on the Geld. 'f he hdantuus David.
Troia paid with his life the forfeit of his crimes. His toiler •
pourdet, having lost his way in the woods, feli into our hand.
and also a great number of prisoners. Our army, tinder the con:-
;wand 'of Lieutenant-Generals Romain and Joachim, eff.. el,l
junction with that of Marshal Pierre Toussaint, and
.them into the Spanish Savannahs. On teir arrival at ilirilee.
the rebels found the rivei•Artibontte swollen by the mini; big
apt being.ahle.to succeed, they eocatnped on the banks, suil,ud::-
sliel were out of danger. At'tiris roment they were a0:!3,4,
by' the whole of our troops. The borse.guards then ttarzwl
thern.,orerwhelmed and routed them a second time. The grate;
part of Hague who attempted to cross tae river were carried 'env
by tilt *teach -of the torrent. A battalion and a half Wt::.
drowned 4 very few reached the opp asite ;bore, from vrtience the:
continued tt,eir'fight. So aeon as our troops wet:, able to
the river, th:y parsued the rebels, and arrived at Mirabeki.
without being able to come up with them.
" The rebel I.amarre,'endeavouring to take advurage of thi•
;Itempt, made an attack on the lines with which be is so else:;
invested. but he was itiven into his flea at thz punt of the ,
unct. The field wat covered with dead; his 11.0 Aids-!;••
Camp were killed, ajui %tinsel! escaped in disguise."
We have also seen another Official Paper whit!:
states, that the President Christophe had receir4
from Sanchez, the Commander of the S?anifli
troops before,the city of St Domingo, authentic proof
of the existerce of a constant connection and male.. •
standing between the French Gc vernor and Petion.
They were found among the papers of ,General Dar.
quiet, and are to be published for the purpose of on.
deceiyi:.s.g.the real adherents of Petion, and unfold:::g
the views of this very adroit traitor. Were it nnz for
the assigiance he rendered the garriion, it mast :lave
been in the bands of the Spaniards lung since.

The Tiger transport, from Corunna, marked IT,
is arrived at Plymouth. Mr. DIARVDIAN, of the at;..
num, of 98 guns, came passenger in her, er.arged
with dispatches. He states, that the French ye e
hourly expected to arrive at Corunna, and that the
greatest confusion prevailed at that place. The
Tiger was obliged to be towed out by twelve hr.lizs
and left Corunna five 'days since. All the Spanisit
ships at Ferrol were under sailing orders, ami vc
nearly ready for sea. The British ships off Corunoa
are the BAttncust, of 98 guns ; TONANT* of 84 guns;
DEFE.NCr.) TRIUMPH, and ZEntous, of It guns each;
and INDEFAriumst.E, of 38 guns, off' Ferrol.

Dispatches were yesterday received from Sir /bar IRV
STIt ACHAN. Captain CUTFIfiLth who brought tllcra
the Admiralty, sailed from Flubbing last Friday. Th.:
enemy were, at that date, sending troops into South
Beveland ; and their flotilla, supported by the squa-
dron of ships of the line, presented a menacing aspect
between Loo and Antwerp. From these circurn•
stances, added to the sickly state of the troops, uv
understand, the gallant Admiral is of opinion, OK!:
will be expedient, if not absolutely necessary, to ca.
cuate Walcheren speedily.

Hamburgh Papers were received on SaturtLty t)
the 7th instant, extracts from which will be sees is
another part of our Paper. Under an artic"
Paris, dated August 28th, it is stated,. that a cor,:pi.
racy had bees discovered at Pampeluna, to surrearle.:
that fortress to the Patriots. A paragrzp:i f:'
Frankfort mentions, as a report, but which is evi'
dent!), unfounded, that peace was signed ib^•"'Yn
Austria and France on the 24th ult. The gre:itr'
part of the Austrian army was, it is said, to proceed
to Hungary. By this circumstance it might ho pre
sumed that Hungary would not be among the cot•
cessions requited by the victor.

Our private letters are in some important tvreen
very contradictory to each other. One from .r;-..mer,
of the 30th ultimo, stateslit as a. rumour, that the i•
mistice was broken, anti lhe.war renewed between le
French and Austrians. This report is also mentigne
in a letter from, Gottenburgh, of the 3d inst. ; but.a
letter from Heligoland, of the 11th, states the mpsr:
there to be, that peace had been concluded b:twe:7l.
France and Austria, and that one of the condicials
was, that the Emperor FRANCO should unite his ate`
with those of Russia and France, for the dissolution
of the Ottoman power. . The rumour of -the severe
indisposition of BONAPARTILJ at Vienna, is in this 1"-
ter repeated.
