It is rumoured in some of the political circles, but

we know not w;th what degrCe of truth) that a change

is about to -take place in the hlinisterial arrange-
.
ments, which will have the effect to place the Mar-
quis WE!..I.ESLEY in a high situation. A few days
will ascertain the truth or falsehood of the upon.

We have received Pat is Papers of Saturday. The
Monitnir contains a speech from the Chancellor of
France, as President of the Chamber of Peers, to the
KING on thanking him for the Expar; of the state of
the nation. 'lt is a sober and well digested perfor-
mance, and we cannot pay the orator a higher com-
pliment than by sayii.g that he has n;)t bcen the organ
of that abominable and blasphemous flattery which
nauseated the ears of all good men during the unna-
tural weer of BONAPARTIL After slighly sketching
the deplorable condition of France under the reign of
the Despot, some plain but well-merited compliments
are paid to the KING: the whole concludes with some-'
thing about" glory," which, perhaps, would have been
better left out. We have yet to learn that there was
any true glory in the monstrous atrocities committed
by Frenchmen upon all nations for the last twenty
years ! The Chancellor of France ought now to com-
municate some wholesome truths tolls silly country-
men—in the career of glory they have been out-
stripped by every other nation—they should nor'/ be
taught to follow some honet way of getting a live-
lihood.

pAYOUST has published a long defence of his can.
duct at tiamburgh. It is in fact a defence not for
Itlonsieur Davoust, but for every Frenchman who
served under BoNapaarz—he too cloaks every act of
his Government by declaring that it was necessary
for the glory of the French arms !
The Gazette eh France contains a curious article on
the subject of Naples. We are reminded that thert
exists only a Convention for the suspension of arms,
but no treaty of alliance between England and Naple,
tinder the present Sovereign. The writer takes it for
granted, however, that the Congress of Vienna will
settle every dispute upon this head.
'
PARIS, JULY 30.
We have received intelligence from St. Denting°

of the 28th of May. Thcre was a Congress at Go-
naives on the SJ of May, in which Christophe, who
calls bin-milt-Hem I. Xing,of Hayti; Pecien, Pre-
iltlent at tit West ; and Burgella, Commandant-Gt-
. neral of the South, proposed an offensive and defin-
itive alliance, and to fiz the limits of their respective
States: but the negotiators did not come to an un-
derstanding—the conferences were broken up on the
Bth. The armies of Christophe and Petion met on
the 17th, %hen the two Chiefs comm tnded in person:
the battle was bloody : Christophe was victorious.—
Petion loft the greater part of his troops and Gene-
rals; and if Romain, who has the title of Marshal,
bad not been stopped by a regiment commanded by
Pierre Rigaud, all would have been over with Petion.
'.:—The latter retired upun Artibonite, and burnt the
bridge of Esther to prevent the pursuit of Christophe.
The latter was in full march for Port-au-Prince,
'when he was informed that Marshal Martial. Besse
lied rebelled, and was marching upon the Cape.—
Chrisophe set off in pursuit. Such was the nnfor•
tunate situation of St. Domingo on the 27th of May.
It k aid in some circles that a certain personage,
who has already mad.? too much noise in the world,
bas -escaped hum the isl ind of Barania. There is
no truth in this report, The Governor of Baratria is
sin much occupied with the !organization of his States
to think of quitting them. We are assured that in
order to make up for the smallness of his possessions,
And to procure the satisfaction of contemplating a
. •
great and vast empire, and peopled with a great num-
ber of subjects, he has constructed a great quantity
of multiplying glasses arid microscopes of immense
powers.
Every morning he receives tie greatriinctkisaries'
pf the §tans, such as the Curate, the Vicar, and the
Schoolmaster. Ile frequently makes his army pass
under *view, He bas Ministers, Masters of the Ce-
remoniety Chamberlains, and Pages. He holds a
Court *rice a- week. The Ladies cf the Island ap.
pear at it in the most elegant attire: the taste of the
Ladies of the High Bailiff and of the Town Clerk is
particularly fine. As the little Gentleman is lona*
a numerous population, he has recently ordered a
hundsod osausiages, To conclude, he is embellishing,
the weed as v, ell as he can : an old cow•house has
been converted into &country place, and they have
pew paved the streets of the capital.

In our paper of the 28th, we gave an article which •
tame to us from Italy, but which nevertMess was.'
not correct in its detail: We shall now rectify ti upon:
theantluirity of a person of good credit. There nNer
existed aiy treaty, in virtue of which England
eutitled to occcpy any of the Ports, or any of the
lilarids of the Kingdom of Naples : nothing 1)45
tlw original arrangement which sosicnded
:s between Naples and England, .
very ttue thalt there tics been an aiiiance Wien,

sive and defensive concluded between the Courts of
Austria and Naplei, but the loyalty of the Emperor
of Austria is so well known, that it requires no treaty
to sustain it, and we have only to observe, that this
treaty was concluded at a period when the consent of
all the Allied Powers was necessary, and an indefi-
nite armistice was then stipulated with England until
thedefinitive treaty of peace between these two Powers.
—How, in short, tieing armed as they were against
one.and the same enemy, could they be at war with
each other ?—We know that the English Journals are
allowed to go great lengths, and frequently nothing
can be inferred from them. Latterly some Members
of Parliament have asked Ministers, what was the
nature of the relation between Great Britain and'
Naples ? and the Later referred them to the result of
the Congress at Vienna.
This is all that is known for certain; every thin
else is conjectural. The Neapolitans know the En .
lish c,!taracter too well to conceive the least one
ness as to their future lot." .

MEXICO, MARCH 12.
The General of the Army has sent to the Marquis
de la Concordia the details of a Battle gained-over
the Rebels of Buenos Ayres. Seventy Officers and
800 soldiers are prisoners. There were 3(X) wound-
ed, more than 400 killed, eight pieces of artillery and
1500 muskets taken : in short, an army of 7000
men, perfectly equipped and disciplined, has been
dispersed by the troops of the King. The Battle
was fought on the plains of Angoma.

A Dutch Mail arrived to-day :it contains low
little intelligence of note. 4 contagious fever having
broken ont in Corsica, the quarantine laws have been
enforced at Trieste,
Nose of the Dutch papers contain any later ac-
counts froth Norway.

The Dutch now begin to suspect that the negotia-
tions with the American Commissioners at Antyrst
will end in smoke! The following is the wait
which they notice them:

" BRUSSELS, JULY i 6,

"-From the Ist of August the different regiraeras
composing the Belgian Legion aerto be in the pay
of Holland.

gs The English Ambassadors are expected at
Ghent in the beginning of August : they have hired
a very fine country house half a league from the city,
Ansi the American Legation has hiled one of the,
finest hotels ia the city. Their number is said to be
complete as soon. as the Son-in-law of Mr. biadison,,
Private Secretary to one of the Ambassadors, iaar-1
rived. It seems that a ltus::ian Minitter is to be pre-
sent at the Congress, to mediate between England
and America. But it is already evident that these
Negociations which are on the point of being opened
will be attended with many difficulties."

This day, at noon, leis Grace the Duke of WELLING.
TON embarked at Whitehall Stairs on board of the
Loan MAYOR'S State Barge, under a salute of 21
guns. His Grace will dine with the Louo MAYOR
and Aldermen at Richmond in the evening, the ex-
cursion being undertaken expressly in honour of the
Hero. Th.: other City barges followed the LORD
MAYOR'S in succession, and the River presented a gay
and splendid scene.

It appears by the following Extract of a Letter,

of Holstein

HAIVIBURGH, JULY Is.,

" From Carthageoa we learn, that Governor Ca-
meal, who commanded the independent troops, had
approached within four miles of that city, and de-

and that the troops should be paid in specie. He
WAS shortly after arrested by order of -the President,
and placed in confinement.

We have very recent intelligence by a vessel from
Quebec, which left that fortress on the 3d July. The
inaction on Lake Ontario is alone to be attrilureit t
the indisposition of Commodore Chauncey to meet

Extract of a letter from Halifax, dated June 29 s
si We are a dull sea.port,cnosidering our relative sitsso
tion; but the reason is, the ships are kept evestantly at
sea to the rnithward, and being :able to obtain plenty of'
provisions,they are very healthy,and seldom make any'
long stay here. But in spite of all our alertness, the
American privateers manage to get their prises in. I
am happy to say, that the reinforcements of troops,
seamcn, artificers, ships in frame. and stores of all de.
scriptinns, are daily al riving at Quebec. The Ameri-
cans will soon feel some ut the hitters of was; until they
have, you must not expect a peace with them—and it
must be such a beating as will leave "a lasting im.
pression upon their fears." The Medina, Wolverine,
and Cornicrant, arrived from Portsmouth a few days
since, with a convoy ; and the Victorious, Horatio,
and Hamadryazi, sailed with a convoy for Newfound-
land ; L'Espoir, with a convoy for the West Indies.
