ST. DOMINGO.

The accounts from this Ifland thew how well
grounded the fears were, that if the Negroes lately
in infurreEtion there had aged on a fyftem of pro.
crafiination, the fickly feafon would have put it
out of the power of die French army to accomplifh
the objea for which it was fent out. To prevent
any change of mind in TOUSSAINT that might re-
vive the rebellion, it has been thought wife to fend
him home. The charges exhibited againft him
in tile Commander's letter, which we fuhjoin, may
or may not be true. But if he was refolved to
fend him a prifimer to France in violation of the
Treaty, it was neceffary that fomc pretext Ihould
be fet up for doing fo.

Citizen Mini informed you in one of my
laft difpatches of the pardon I was pleafed to grant
to General Toussamr. This ambitious man,
from the moment I pardoned him, did not ceafe
to carry on a private confpiracy. If he furren-
derei, it was hecaufe Generals CHRISTOPHE and
DESSALINIS had fignified to him that they plainly
law he had deceived them, and that they were de-
termined to carry on the war no longer, but find-
ing himfer abandoned by them, he endeavoured
to organize among the plaMation negroes an in
furration, to make them rife in a mars. The re.
ports tranfinitted to me by all the Generals, and
even from General DESSALINES, refpeting the
coadna he had purfuzd fiuce his fubmittion, left
me no doubt on that head. I intercepted letters
which he wrote to one named FONTAINE, who
was his agent at the Cape. Thefe letters incon-
tcflably prove that he was forming a confpiracy,
and willied to refttme his former influence in the
Colony. He Waited for the effea of difeafe in the

In thefe circumftances it was neceffary that I
(hould not leave him time to accompli(h his cri-

The arrett of General Toussamr has carded

fent on board the frigate la Miliron, which has
orders to fail for the Mediterranean : the remain-

of the fquadron.
I am daily employed in reorganizing the Co-

Extra& of a Letter received from Sunderland
yeflerday morning :
have the pleafure to inform you, that, at the
&Mons at Durham yeileniay, the Bench of Jultiecs (Mr
Bunion prefent) retired for an hour into the Jury room, and
upon their return, Sir John Eden made known in the Court,
that Mr. Burdon had contented to !land again for the County,
and that the High Sheriff was requeited to calla County Meet-
ing for that yurpote, prior to the 26th of this month. Sir Henry
Vane C.lleValltf Leer trneo,rrw. The County Meeting it is fup-
poled will be on the acth intiant.—There were, 1 belkve, only
three in Court who refuted to fign the requilition to the Sheriff."
MIDDLESEX ELECTION. At the clofe of the
poll, )cilertlay, the numbers were :

Mihrvar.ng,soi 6 I Ntr. Byng,s3B3 Sir F. Burdett, tso9
Mr. BYNG faid,.. Gentlemen, I thank you molt
lincerelv fur the conilant, kind, and Ready atten-
tion you have manifefted toward me, fince I have
had the honour to appear before you on this oc-
calion; that attention I flatter myfelf you will con-
tinue to grant me, for while I am true to you, I
am confident you will never defert me.(Applaufir.)
I have to inform you that on this day's Poll, I am
five below one of the Candidates. lam certain
thatthis information will ferve only to double your
exertions, and that you will not allow fuch a thing
to happen again ; but that, imitating the laudable
example of the independent Eleaors of Hertford-
fhire and Kent, of London and Weftminfter, you
will perfift in keeping the determined friends of
freedom at the bead of the Poll.
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT.-•-" Gentlemen Free-
holders, I feel great pleafure in being able to in-
form you, that on this day's Poll I have gained
confiderably, as I am within 13 of the Candidate
who is highefl on the account of the day. From
fuch encouragement, I have the belt reafons to
think that this, ottr common caufe, will be crown-
ed with fuccefs, Wow friends will but perfevere in
their exertions (An outcry from every quarter—we
AA we fball.) I take leave of you, countrymen,
this evening, in the hope thdt you will attend here
to-morrow morning, at as early an hour as may
be convenient. I hated to you, a few days fince,
that I would not abandon the contell, fo long as
the leaft chance of fuccefs remained ; and as that
chance has been progreffively increafing, I truft
you know enough of me to be allured that I will
not eafily yield in loch a caufe.—(Univerfal at-
tiarffe.)
The Candidates having withdrawn, a Mr.'
Lowsots, who was remarkable at Covent-garden
Eleaion, prefcnted himfelf at the Huftings, and
laid. that he undcrliood. from common report,'
that Gi...:...nment was aaively ufing its influence
in faro r I.f on.: of the Candidates. If fo, he con-
Adered it a ylaring inconfiftency—(He war inter-
rupted by a general cry from the meeting of • What doper
mean ? iYhat do you wan ?')—The Orator hated,
that he had the permiffion of Sir Francis Burdett
to addrefs them, and he was accordingly allowed
to proceed. He obferv,pl, that if Government re•
fired the aid of its influence in the Southwark
Eltaior. to Sir I'. Turton. who was a Magiftrate,
between whom and Mr. Mainwaring the material
difference was, that the one performed all the du-
ties of his office without fce or emolument, while
the other (Mr. Mainwaring) hau a handfome fa.
Lary to reward him for his attention—the prefer-
ence was unfair. Perhaps Government witbed to
have Mr. Tierney returned as an accommodating
Member ; but as no hope of conceffion or compro.
nide could be expeaed from Sir Francis Burdett,
it might have been thought expedient by Minifters
to adopt a different fyllem on this eleaion (At-
pfasfir.) He (Mr. L.) was unwilling to rely upon
common fame ; he withed for particular informa-
tion, whether Magiftrates had menaced publicans
with withdrawing their licence if they fhould vote
fir Sir Francis Burdett ? And whether feveral
other fuch artifices had not been reforted to, to
influence the Eleaors ? (An univerfal try of yes!
yet! many.)
A Gentleman on the Huftings cried out—
" Pray Sir who are you, and what is your name?"
A. 4, My name is Lowndes : I am coufin to Sir
Thomas Turton."

The people then difperfed, and Sir F.BuiDETT,
as dual, had his coach drawn by the mob.
Mr. MAIMWARING retired yekerday from the
Huaings before the poll was doled.
About two o'clock yetterday Mr. Fos and Lord
WM. RUSSELL arrived at Brentford, weiring the
colours of BYNG and BURDETT. They were re-
ceived at their entrance into the town by a vail
affemblage of people, whole acclamations accom-
panied them to the Huftings. Soon as they ar-
rived there all bufinefs was filfpended : they were
greeted by the whole allembly : they remained on
the Hitaings above an hour, during which Mr.
rot was in dole converfation with Sir FRANCIS
BoxotTT. The bands of mufic belonging to the
two Candidates were brought before the Hullings
10 entertain their illuarious vifitors, who, after
having experienced every mark of refpca from
the Candidates and the Eleaors, retired amid the
Lundell huzzas.
Two men, apprehended on Wednefday aft rnnoa,
for being alive in the affray which took place
near the Star and Garter, at Kew-hridge, and
al:tithing the Conilables in the execution of their
duty, were on Thurfday brought before Sir RICH.
lotto, at Bow-areet, for examination, and the
dage being proved, they were ordered to find
1)111 for their appearance to anfwer it at the feaions.
BY, this accident an aged mother and fix young
cl'ildrCa are lackftitute of future rapport.
