Great difputes now prevail in Germany refpeaing
the future public law, or the political relations that

Accounts from St. Domingo, of the 6th of Oc-
tober, reached town yeflerday. They confirm our
former (lament fel/live to the advantages obtained
by PETION over CHaIST..PIIII ; and add, that there is
every appearance of the contea terminating in favour
of the former.

LETTER FROM PORTAU-PRINCE, OCTOBER 6.
PETION'S Army had a fevere rencontre with that
of his antagonia (Cuarsvor us), a few days fince,
near St. Marc. He compelled it to mire with con-
fiderable lofs, and in the greatefl confofion. Among
the fain were two renowned Chiefs (a General and
a Colonel), of the Artibonites, from whae party
much danger has been heretofare apprehended. Ge-
neral LAMAIRE fill remains in the f..:1 poffefion of
Port de Paix, which is in the very heart of CHRIS
TnTlll% territories ; and it is excelled that St. Marc
will very fhortly be united to the dominions over
which PATIOS at prefent prefides : that town, how.
ever, is extremely well fortified, and may take fame
time before it is reduced ; but there is no doubt of
the refult being favourable to PET 1011."

Minihers, we underhand, have agreed upon a j
Declaration to be publift,ed, hating it to be his
AJEsry's intention to give to the Captors his Ma-
jestv's right is all prizes that [Fall be taken from
the Emperor of Russia, or his ful,je&s. They have
elfo agreed upon the feveral intirations to be fent
to the fcveral Courts of Admiralty, to enable them
to take cognizance of, and proceed upon, the cap-
tured and forfeited veffels. Thefe Courts include
his MAJESTY'S Courts if Admiralty in foreign fettle-
ments ; and the inftru6lions point out the mode of
proceeding, in cafes of capture, of all (hips, goods,
and merchandize, by any of his MAJESTY'S (hips of
war, to which letters of marque and reprifals have
been granted.
The Governor of Gibraltar, and the Commifftmers
ailing at Malta, are to be veiled with powers to
grant letters of marque and reprifals againft Ruffian
(hips, goods, and merchandize. And the Comman•
„lc: of merchant (hips [ball have letterr of marque
ar 1.-eprifals granted to them, with the tafual powers.

The general objed of the late Treaty figned between
France and Attalla is, to arrange thofe new relations
which the occupation cf the Mouths of the Cattaro
have produced between Maria and France, or rather
between I'.ance and Turkey. The Mouths of the
Cattaro formed one of the South Esnern bulwarks
of the Turkith empire ; and the pofrefli )n of them
by the French Emperor focures him a camp of en-
trenelunent and of attack—a pofition of controul and
of offence againtt that devoted empire, whenever it
may fair his purpofes to attack it. Hence the long
effort of France to procure it, and of Ruffle to defend
it. Rullia having become the confederate of France,
and its partner in the future fp ril, furrendered up the
River and Province of Cattaro, as one of the means
of enabling her ally to hunt down the common game;
and Runia having furrendered this vety important
pofition, it became impoffibte for Auftria to continue
her fecret refinance.
The Es. Venetian States furrendered by the Second
and Third Articles, are part of the indemnities to
Auftria in the Treaty of Luneville. It is thus that
Prance has gradually recalled all that fit: then gave ;
the neat), of Prefburgh took Venice, and the' reaty
of Fontainbleau takes the Venetian States. There
ceflions are important in a double point of view : in
the fira place, as rendering France invincible Miftrefs
of the Adriatic ;—in the fecond, as evincing ' the
complete fubjedion of the Emperor FRANCIS.—
BON ArAft ra has no Ally; all are his (laves or his
enemies.
It firiuld not here pals unlbferved, that BO•
NAPARTE is (paring no efforts to get all the lea
coatis and ports of Europe into his pnff.fli ,n.—
His purpofe in this is very manifelt. It is a policy.
the ultimate end of which is to cherith France into
a Naval Power more equal to contend againa Eng•
land. The lea ooatt is naturally the cradle of lea-
men, and the principal ports the molt fertile repofi-
tories for their fupply. The exchange of Flttfhing
for haltFriefland and Iver is an additional proof
and example of his anxiety for the maritime interefts
of France.
The Fourth Article concedes, on the part of Au-
aria, that certain fource of future weaknefs to the
power which is htunillated enough to grant it—a
military road *0%4 the iiiffirian dominion to Ifiria and
Dalmatia. The greeted proof rf the completenefs
of ?ruffian fnbjedion was in the military road granted
through his dominions to. the Duchy of Warfaw.—
The Emperor Francis, therefore, by this article,
would appear as great a flare as the King of Profile
himfelf. It is needlefs, Fe fuppore, to add, that a
military road includes the right of the power to whom
it is granted, to tend troops, cannon, &c. from one
extremity of it to another. To mend the matter, the
number of thefe troops is not limited in the treaty of
Fontainbleau
This fame article, moreover, contains proof pofi-
tive of the future intentions of the Emperor Napoleon
with refpect to Turkey. This military road is to
extend to Iftria and Dalmatia. But why does Bona-
parte want this road to two provinces which do not
belong to him ?—Moft affuredly for no other purpofe
but for their conqueft and annexation.
The three remaining articles of the treaty are
merely formal.
