NAPLES, JANUARY 14.

His Majesty yesterday held an Extraordinary
Council, at which all the Ministers were present: For
the first time in her life the Queen was present at this
Council, which lasted siz hours. It seems that se-
veral interesting subjects came under discussion. The
report is spread that Austria has bad her hands tied
with respect to the guarantee given to our King, and
that if she does not act offensively against him, she
will at least cease to regard him as an •ally. The
Court of Rome must have obtained notice of some-
thing of this kind, to have acted with so much vi-
gour with respect to the Court of Naples, which in
less than two days might render itselt mistress of all
the territories the Pope now has.
It is asserted that his Holiness will soon repent of
his proceedings with regard to our Court and the of-
ficers whom he has shut up in the Castle of St. An-
, gelo. and that orders have been given to the army.ttri

enter Rome. On the other hand, it cannot be dis-
sembled that any new attempt on the sacred person
of the Sovereign Pontiff will be instantly revenged
by all the nations of Europe, and that the Scut ui:Jan
King Joachim, the first and Lut of Bonaparte's 'Dy-
nasty, will be the first victim of the fatality which will
induce him to take up arms. Truly every thing is
likely to remind us of the downfall of Napoleon.
There feigns at Court a spirit of inquietude, which
they se2k in vain to conceal from the public eye,
and in all classes dispositions towards a change which
will bring us more and more to an understanding ,
with other Governments.. This state of crisis can-
not last.

We have this day given No.VIII. of the Ghent
correspondence, which completes the whole series of
these very important documents. Nos. 2,3, 4,5, 6,
and 7 appeared in succession in the course of last
week; Nos. 1,9, 10, 11, and 12 were published in
the STAn.of the 23d ult. Our Readers should pre-
serve these papers, as they will be often referred to
after the meeting of Parliament, when the American
Treaty will come under discussion.
This morning we received another file of New.
York Papers. They are not later than some we have
'already had, hut they present a few articles worthy
of a perusal. _ _

A letter from New York, dated December 29,
Kates, that only a few days before, Mr. MONROE, in
a conversation with the Minister of a Foreign Court,
resident in America, had declared, that it. was not
the policy of the American Government to encourage
commerce. Mr. Kauvzott, the Swedish Minister, it
is said, was the person to whom he snide this decla-
ration.

PHILADELPHIA, DECEMBER 241

Amongst the French forces arrived in the West
Indies, at the islands of Guadalotrim and Martinique,
(which islands were surrendered tp' Prance about the
Bth of November,) are two divisioes,i.il dm French
army destined for the conquest of:tbe island ..of St.
Domingo; which, it is said, will be undertaken in
the spring, provided the agents of that Government,
who are come out to ascertain the disposition of the
'Chiefs of Hayti relative to a pacification with France,
shell conceive such a conquest practicable—in the
event of the said Chiefs not agreeing to place them.

measures into execution, sd such be deemed ne-

The two Chiefs of St. Domingo, Christophe and Pe-
don, have, for a considerable time past, been apprised.
of the intention of the French Government, and, the:
more effectually to resist the common enemy,
(trance) have catered into a coalition, and formed a
treaty offensive and defensive, by which they jointly
obligate themselves, that shoUld France attempt a re-
duction of any part of their possessions, each 'stall
call out the whole of his physical forces, and unite in
resisting the enemy to the utmost of their ability.
But to prevent the effusion of human blood, they
(Christophe and Petion) are desirous of coming on
amicable terms with France : and do agree, that
should she relinquish the intention of subjugating',

except in such articles of necessity as France cannot

to reside and settle amongst them, subject, neverthe-
less, to the laws of the territory under which they
may live. That their persons and prc,perty will, at
all times, be respected and protected.
The Chiefs of Hayti have agreed, in case France
persists in the invasion of their dominions, to turn,
/ay walk, old destroy every City, Town, Fortification,
and place, hey, by force of arms, may be com-
pelled to retreat from, and finally to take refuge in
the mountains.

Christophe has observed, ig that it must cost France
much money (not to mention lives) before she can
accomplish the destruction and capture of his posses-
sions. If (said he) she is bent on this, let her give
me one half the sum such preparations will cost, and
I'll rave her the loss of many valuable men and
much trouble—for if she compels me, I have deter.
mined on destroying every habitable place within my
dominions, rather than they should fall into her
hands."
