VIENNA, MARCH 27.—1 t had been reported
here that accounts had been received from Con-
ftantinople of the Ratification of the preliminaries
of Peace, which the Turkiffi Ambaffador figned
at Paris in the month of Odober WI ; but by the
loft Englifh courier who arrived here from Con.
Rantinople, on his way to London, we learn, that
the Porte Rill hefitates to ratify thole Preliminaries,
and perfilis in its objections. By the fame con-
veyancewe learn, that the EngliffiAmbaffador, Mr.
STRATTON, who, it is known, failed with a parti-
cular conuniffion to Egypt, had returned to Con-
itantinople the latter end of February.
The Palatine of Hungary has been for tome
days at Vienna, to confer with the Court relative
to the approaching Diet, the object of which is to
give to that kingdom a new and improved confli-
tution, the old being in many refpeds nnfuitable to
the prefent times. This Conftitution will confer
many eflential benefits on the whole nation, and
will confift of forty articles, one of the principal
of which will be the free importation of Hungarian
produes into the Autlrian Rates.

MARCH 31—P14MAX Occou, in Order to
ftrengthen himfelf againft the Porte, has conclud-
ed treaties of alliance with feveral other Pans,
particularly the Mims of Travinick and Janina,
each of which are to aflift him with a corps of from
fix to Sow men. As a very alive war may be ex-
peEted to be carried on in European Turkey in the
enfuing hummer, a confiderable body of troops are
already under orders to cover our frontiers.

We yefferday received Paris Journals to the t sth
inft. inclufive. They contain the important de-
tails from St. Domingo alluded to in the Tele-
graphic Difpatch in the Taft Paris Papers received.
It is not eafy to determine abfolutely whether
the intelligence fhould be confidered as difaftrous,
as announced by ptivate accounts quoted by us on
Saturday, or fhould be called good a evvri as it was
by the Telegraph. It is admitted, that the Blacks
under General Ma UREtAS gained tome needs
over General Humeral. ; but the latter, with his
detachment, is never more fpoken of, either in the
difpatches of General LECLERC, or of the Admiral.
It appears too that the divifions of Generals Bon-
usv and Dsast.Le were abfolutely defeated by
141attav pas, and compelled to retreat. Thefe
difaffers were evidently the confequence of the
very estenfive kale oP operations adopted by the
French General, becaufe different divifions sating
from different points feldom can realife the fcheme
of the original combination, and are in danger of
being beaten in detail. This was evidently the cafe
in partial inftances; but the full meafure of the ca-
lamity, and whether others betides Hu KIIIRT'S de-
tachment fuffered, is not mentioned. At the time,
however, when there tranfadions paled in the
South•weft difirid of the Wand, the divifions of

fing upon Toussamr, and endeavouring to keep
him confined in the Sutithwefl peninfttla (as we
cenjeetured would be the place of attack), were
more fuccefsful. On the 23d of Febttar y Roc ti Ast
mu defeated, at a pofition called La Ravine-a-
Coleuvre,Tou :war in perfon, after a moil bloody
confli&. This event enabled the Commander in
Chief to draw fo dote round MAVREPAS that he
furrerdered to Genetal D2BELLE (though without
communication with the. Commander in Chief),
bringing in aOOO troops, and difbanding iipoo
cul-
tivators (Blacks, or peafantry of the country).—
This certainly was a great blow to TOVSSAIhT.
The whole accounts, however, (hew that he and his
' Generals had immenfe influence over the Blacks.
The number of the irregulars (the cultivators)
proves it indubitably.

General LECLERC, however, exprefres a hope
in his laf letter, of the 6th, that TOUSSAINT will
not long be able to efcape him. TOUSSAINT has
retired to the Mirebalais, and all the divifions are
preffing round him. His only chance of efcape is
by beating feparately the divifions which in fo dif-
ficult and inacceffible a country cannot aet with
much concert. Llcxsitc fays he never taw any
thing like the difficulties of the ground and the
frength of the enemy's pofition, fence ever he was
a foldier, and not even in the Alps. The defeat
of Ton:suer on the 23d, however, is confidered
as irretrievable. The General concludes with fay-
ing, that nothing equals the fatigue endured by
the troops. All the. maritime Rations arc in the
hands of the French, but almoll all the towns
have been burnt. The difpatchcs of the Admiral
add many important details. It appears that the
redudion of the Spanifh part of the Ifland was at-
tended withfome difficulty. Admiral GAN TN EAUME
has brought home to Brett a divifion of the fleet,
which will no doubt be Coon employed in carry-
ing out freflt reinforcements of men and flores.
It is now pretty evident that the French Govern-
ment is determined to admit, as little as poflible,
any confideration or power being atta-.:•ed to the
Blacks in their Wands. The publication of the
letter of VICTOR Hucuts has evidently taken
place, on purpofe to thew what fyflem they ap-
prove. LECLERC'S difpatches arc in a (pink of
great animofity again( the Blacks, who are doomed
to be as fubordinate as they ever were at any for-
mer period or under any denomination.
Yetterday arrived two Dutch Mails. Betides
the articles ufual by that conveyance they brought
the Hamburgh Papers, due by two of the three
Hamburgh Mails now due. The articles by the
Mails are not uninterefing.
A letter from the Hague, dated April 4, rays—
A Hotel is now preparing here for the accom-
modation of the Englith Ambafrador. The perfon
defined to fill that office it is fuppofed will be Mr.
LISTON ; however this maybe, one is expeeted here
after the exchange of the ratification. We are
affured that the Dutch Emigrants, who are in the
pay of England, to the number of five or 6000
men, will be taken into the pay of the Prince of
ORANGE immediately after the affair of the indem-
nities in Germany is terminated."

Yefterday morning after their MAJESTIES had
heard divine fervice at the Palace Chapel, Win dfor,
the Royal. FAMILY and Attendants received the
Sacrament at the hands of the Bifliop of NORWICH,
drifted by Dr. Finial. This is the Aril time their
MAjt silts ever attended divine fervice on an
Eager Sunday at any other place of worthip than
the Chapel-Royal, at St. James's.
Previous to their Majcsrivs going to Chapel,
the detachment of the Prince's Light Dragoons,
with their Band, and the battalion of the Fiat Re-
giment of Guards, under the command of Colonel
Timiturom, were formed in line in the Court-
yard, and fainted the ROYAL FAMILY as they paffed.
After . the Chapel the Royal. FAMILY vifited
Frogmore Gardens, which, under the judicious
management of Mr. Pates, have undergone much
recent improvement, and are now very beautiful
and piCturefque.
The Dues of KENT left town _early ycilerday
morning for Windfor. After paling a few days
with the Royal Family, he will proceed to Fal-
mouth, to embark on board the Isis man of war
for Gibraltar, where he will probably remain for
fome years.
Though his Royal Highnefs may not be much
miffed in the circles of gaiety and diffipation, his
lots will be fevercly felt by many of the indigent
and diftreffed, to whom he ever proved a Ready
and moft generous benefaCtor. Indeed, we know
few characters, whole life has been fo uniformly
and aftively employed for the benefit of others, as
that of his Royal Highnefs.

SHERRIF'S COURT, APRIL 17.

lIARRITT V. NOLLANIEY, Fuzz
This was an award of inquiry of damages in an
aftion upon the cafe for (educing the plaintiff's
daughtLr. The plaintiff, Mrs. Theodofia Barriff,
was the widow of an officer, who had ferved with
confiderable reputation and bravery during the
American war. Upon the termination of that dif-
pine, he came over to this country with his wife,
the prcrmt plaintiff, who was the daughter of a
diftingth:h4;l American loyal& They took a
houfe in the neighbourhood of Blackheath, where
they lived for feveral years, in a genteel and re-
fpealable flyle, upon an annuity, for theirjointlives,
of 4001. Mr. Barriff died about fix years ago,
leaving his wife and daughter, then eleven years
of age. Mifs Maria Barra was a young lady ex-
tremely well educated, and peened of great beau-
ty and accompliffiments. It happened about two
years and a half ago the went with her mother to
Arcot races, where they accidentally met the defen.
dant, who was introduced to them as the acquain-
tance of their friend, at whore hook they rsfided
during the excurfion. The defendant Raid very
particular attention to Miff Bailiff, and profaned
himielf a candidate for the honour of her hand in
marriage. Soon afrerher return home with her mo-
ther the was vifited by the defendant, who declar-
ed his intention in form ; and as Mrs. Barriff, up-
on enquiry, found his connexions were honourable,
and his prorpe&s. flattering, the gave her confent
to his addreffing her daughter as ler future
hufband. The courtfhip continued till laft fon-
mer, when the day for the celebration of the
nuptials was appointed. No fulpicion whatever
of any dilhonourable defign on the part of the
defendant was entertained, confequently it was not
thought nectfTary to' impole any reftraint with
regard to the intercourfe of the young couple,
who were to be fo foon united. They fre-
quently went to affemblies and different public
places, fometimes alone, and fometimes with their
mutual friends. In the month of July laft, a
few days before the marriage was to have taken
place, Mr. Hollarnby invited Mifs Barriff and her
mother to accompany him with a party to
Vauxball. Mrs. Barriff enured herfelf on account
of indifpofition, but fuffered her daughter to
go with him. The remainder of thUcafe,. as
laid before the Jury, was detailed by Mifs Bar-
tiff, who twice faintet: during the recital.—
She Paid the accompanied the defendant twice in
a coach as far as lVenmintler-bridge, where they
took water, and proceeded to Vauxhall. When
they had been fume time in the Gardens, they
joined the defendant's party, confining of feveral
ladies and gentlemen, none of whom the witnefs
knew. They engaged a box, and about eleven
o'clock fat down to (upper. There were feveral
los ts of wine upon the table, of which the defen-
dant preffed her to partake. In the courfe of the
evening 6veral of the company became much ele-
vated, And drank her health as Mrs. Hollamby.
Her own fpirits were railed by this compliment,
and the was perfuaded to drink a glafs of Cham-
paigne. She found herfelf &only after indifpofed,
and fignified her with to return. The defendant
and herfelf quitted the Gardens, and he handed
11,:r into the carriage, and ordered the coachman
'to drive to Blackheath. She grew worfe, and be-
came totally infenfible. When the recovered her-
(elf, the perceived the was in a bed-chamber, with
the defendant near jier. She was confcious of her
fituation, and the outrage the had futlained—lbe
fwooned, and was a long time before the recovered.
When the came to herfelf, the defendant endea-
Toured to appeafe her, but the infilled on return-
ing home. The defendant told her it was impof-
filile they could return till morning—that her mo-
ther would not expert her, and that their marriage
would take place on the day appointed. She con-
tented to remain on condition that he quitted the
room—he did In, and the threw herfelf on the bed
in a hate of dintaaion and defpair. The next ,
morning the returned to her mother, and related
all that had paired. It appeared the houfe the had
been in had been hired and furnithed by the de-
fendant. He raver afterwards came near her
mother's bottle ; but, on the contrary, paid his
addreffes to a young lady of fortune in London.
Mr . Barriff waited un the father of this Lady, and
apprized him of the defendant's condua, in con-
teque nce of which he forbade his traits to his
daughter.
The plaintiff then brought the prefent attion,
