The ARGO frigate which has arrived at Portsmouth
from Jamaica, brings Papers from that Island to the
`2.3d of October. The Port Royal Gazette, of Octo-
ber 22, states, that CHRISTOPHE and PeTwx, the '
rival Chiefs of St. Domingo, had agreed to surrender ,
that island to Louts XVIII. and to acknowledge his
Sovereignty on certain conditions favourable to them- ,
selves individually, and advantageoui to the popula-
tion at large, as well as to the mother country. The
Jamaica Paper states in substance, that the VIGILANT
had arrived at that island from St. Domingo with in-
telligence ig that a general Treaty of Peace had been
signed between PETION and CHRISTOPIIE, and pub-
lished previously to the sailing of the VIGILANT, in
which it is said that they had mutually agreed to
surrender St. Domingo to the French Government,
on certain conditions, and that all the property, ex-
cepting that possessed by General and other (Mats;
was to be given ap to their respective owners."
The same Gazette also states,.that 4' on the Mon-
day previous the Due de Manchester schooner, bearing
the colours of his Most Christian MAJESTY, and hav-
ing on board M. AUXIoN LAVAISSE, Adjutant-Gene.
ral in the French service, and one of the Commis-
sioners from the King of FRANCE to St. Domingo,
proceeded for Port-au-Prince."
Ou the above intelligence we have to remark, that
it is in opposition to the sentiments conveyed in the
manifesto of King HENRY of Hayti, oc the I Stli of
September last; but it will be recollected At tie same
time, that by a previous declaration, issued by the
Haytian Government, while his sable Majesty stre•
nuously and indignantly threatened to oppose 'force
by force, he stated that matters were still open to ne-
gotiation ; thereby implying a disposition towards
conciliation. On this hint the French Commissary
above alluded to, was sent out, and if his instructions
authorised him to grant all that the inhabitants desir-
ed, it is probable that the arrangements above men-
tioned may have been made.

From a supply of German Papers which we re.
teived this morning, we have :Limed the following
rhapsody, as bearing most strongly on the points
still under discussion at Vienna
PROM THE RHENISH MERCURY.

66 Frost the very beginning there has been two opi-
nions concerning the manner of disposing of Saxony
and rehisd. 'obi& wash( b. UMW conducive to the
general good! Some believe that Poland moat re.
main divided, for the safety of Europe would be
highly endangrzi if that country, so-powerful by its
tesources, and by the warlike spirit of its inhabitants,
should be placed under the protection of Russia, and
Its King become a vassal of that gigantic empire.
They point to maps, and shew the enormous mass
which presses upon Europe from the east ; they shew
the great Forelands and Islands which branch out
from its source, that Eastern Sclavonian Em-
pire into Bohemia, and southwards into the German
soil, and the possibility that if that last inter-
mediate king.doin vanishes, all will coalesce in one
prodigious mass, which will prepare the ruin of Ger-
many. Therefore, say they, Poland must remain as
far as possible subject to Germany, which will then
be spared the injustice of swallowing up Saxony.
" The other party maintain, 6 It is not so ; what
you wish to prevent by this division, you will rather
promote. A spirit of unity has arisen in Poland ; a
love of independence, which so many years of misery
and shame, far from weakening, have strengthened
and confirmed—would you tear in pieces this body so
full of life ? its bleeding and convulsed members,
in which you cannot smother the vital spark, will
grow together again, and before you are aware of it
the wound will be closed.

" At the slightest movement in Europe the thirst
of independence will be then renewed; the East will
take advantage of the spirit of discontent, the West
will build plans upon it, and eventually the very thing
will happen which you in yoer wisdom think to pre-
vent. Nature Inman here, as every where else, the
curse, that he who sows injustice shall reap ruidor•
tune; the sword with which you divide Poland will
cut asunder the bonds of your internal union which
were on the point of uniting you.
" We have from the very first agreed with the lat-
ter, for the simple reason, that in our opinion to do
right and execute justice precedes all policy. It ib
t inssible to find any other principle that is a cer-
t itu guile of action, both in public life, than that
voice which speaks in the breast of every one, the
Prince, the Minister, and the Citizen.
" All your wisdom, which pretends to extend unto'
another century, will be put to shame ; and your pro-
vidence becomes a laughing stock, if you once depart
from that line of justice and truth which GOD bas
marked out for yon.
" In your unsteady march you may deviate to the
right and to the left; but naked swords are pointed
at you in the gloom, and when your arrogant self-
vinfidence dreams securely, the steel is in your breast,
and the avenging Nemesis has overtaken you.
" The partition of Poland was the first youthful

, .
ssai of this age ; ii has since, indeed, grown grey In
sin ; but let us nbt Suffer. the dew era, which is now,
beginning, to take on itself the crimes of its prole.
cessor. We must go back to the root of the evil,' to
make a perfect cure possible. Let Poland have a
Russian Prince if you will ; before two generations
are passed, he will b., himself a Pole, and enter into
all the interests of the country to which he is attach-
eJ. This will happen sooner if l►e is a constitutional
King, limited by the peculiar spirit of the country.—
That the Sclavonian nation should hold together is
natural, and we cannot silence this natural impulse
by our jealousy ; but what we can do is, not to be
guilty of injustice towards them, that those who are
free may not become our enemies, and those who are
under the yoke revolt against us.** * * * *
" Truly, there is no other clue to guide us out of
the labyrinth in which we are, than after the plain old ,
fashion as we Germans have been used to do, to give
and take what is strictly just, and to consider, that as
often as we have been misled by covetousness and
greediness to pass the just bounds, punishment has
never failed to follow. If Poland remains divided,
Prussia will be a mixed Sclavonian German State,
without any natural bond of internal union, as Au-
stria has unhappily been since the Goths went to re-''
mote countries, and the Huns and Sclavonians souk
their places. How can Prussia cover the eastern
frontitrs of Germany with the one discontented half
nfa Sclavonian nation against the other half, inviting
it from beyond the Vistula, united with the friendly
nations to the east ? No, the north must be on that
frontier as an uncompounded German Power ; and
to this end it is necessary that Saxony should be more
nearly connected with it. _

'here is nothing unjust in this union ; the King
of the country set his fate on the point of the sword,
and was overcome in fair'open combat, even against
his own people—he has saved his life because he
knew nut how to die ; but the Crown must be lost to
him, because the judgment of the gods has been
against him. But the Conqueror's possession to be
legal must be founded on a convention with the peo-
ple, the conditions of which must be settled by com-
mon consent. So it has been done in Norway, where
the weakness of the Chiefs was overcome by strata-
gem, and the Nation secures its rights at the Diet.
The same must be done in Italy also, if any good is
to be produced there. There also victory has expelled
the foreign usurpers; the dominion is fallen to the
victors ; but the new Princes can reign there only by
a formal contract, and the new dominion of a foreign
race can be founded only on the consent of the people.

—The booty in money and effects may be divided
by the law of force ; but nations solely according to
justice, and to their consent solemnly given.
.4 Prussia has, therefore, a right to insist on the
unity of Poland, and *she incorporation of Saxony :
the honour of dermarsy commands the one—its wel-
fare, its security, imperiously demand the other ; and
those who counsel otherwise, are either confounded
by the cunning of France, or gained over to it by
their self-interest. But he who is with France is
against Germany, and undone in the public opinion.
" The decision of England, which seems to be ex-

pected, may turn out as it will, Germany must know
what is becoming and advantageous for it, and im.
movably abide by what it has once recognised to be
for the best."

Yesterday the Russian Ambassador paid his re-
spects to the
PRINCE itEGENT.
Earl BATHURST Lad all audience of the PRINCE
REGENT yesterday.
At the Grand Ball given by the PRINCE Raousv
at Brighton, yesterday se'nnight, he retired when
the supper was announced, and the Duke of CLA-
RENCE took the chair. The PRINCE regularly with-
drew at one o'clock from the evening parties, during
all the time et his residence at Brighton, leaving his
guests to prolong their amusement at cards or music
to their own hour.
At a meeting of the Inhabitants of Westminster,
on Wednesday evening, at the Crown and Anchor,
it was agreed to send a Requisition to the High Bai-
liff, to call a meeting of that City to consider the pro-
priety of the continuance of the Income Tax.
PARISIAN MODEL—The milliners use, for the most
part, black, white, pink, and grey velvet. They some-
times adopt a cap of tulle to pink and black bonnets-
When a bonnet is ornamented with flowers, they are
genet illy red rows. White feathers are still worn in
black %elvet bonnets. Merino pelisses are made with
the c.yes of Maio*, and an open velvet collar.
A lounge to the eatacontee in the morning, and a
'visit to the Opera At night; complete the fashionable
tour of a Parisian belle. This is certairly one way of
following the Poet's example—" From grave to gay."

A PEDESTRIAN Fare.--Wednesday last, a young
man, • for a wager of £5O, undertook to walk 70
, miles in 24 hours, and started at eight o'clock on that
evening at the two-mile-stone on the Brixton road,
going one mile out and one mile in, and notwithstand-
ing the inclemency of the season, he at 20 minutes
before seven o'clock last night completed his under-
taking. Considerable sums have been lost and won
on this occasion.
A few days since, the cotton mills of Messrs. Tun-
N rit and Co. at Llangollen, Denbighshire, were to-
tally destroyed by tire.
Yesterday morning, about half past six, a fire broke
out at the Plough and Sinuses public-house, Rose-
mary-lane, which in a short time consumed the same,
with the test part of the furniture. So rapid
were the devastating flames,that it was with difficulty
the family escaped with their lives.

Arrived a man of war brig, name unkndwn. Last
night it blew a very Wail' gale, and this morning,
when it fell nearly a calm, several of the ships got
tool of each other. Thl ship John &awe, GREEN-
Naas, fell on board the ARA las frigate, wl.en the crew
of the King's ship cut away the brigs mizenmast.—
The ship Charlene (a Prussian) bas lost her bowsprit
and foremast. The ship Prince, Hanotr.ov, having
sprung a leak, will be obliged to discharge her cargo.
Accounts reach-di us this [adorning that a Prussian
vessel, from St. Übt's,was lo,t at Portleaver the 'llth

four men saved.—Wind W. to S.W.
PLYMOUTH, DECEMBER 14.
THE GAM—The vessel that was lost on the New-
stone yesterday, proves to be the French bri„c, Jean
Adelle, Captain DuvAL, P2O tons, from Opoir.o,
bound to Havre-de-Grace, with 700 chests of oranges
and lemons, the whole of which, with the ship. are
totally lost—the Captain and three men drowred ;
the Mate and two men saved themselves on the rock,
from whence they were taken last evening much
bruized. The Swedish galitot S!,phia. from Liver
pool for Hamburg's, with a valuable cargo, is now
riding in Whitsund Bay, wiih all her masts and bow-
sprit gone ; should the weather moderate, the pilots
will endeavour to bring her into port, but at present
it blows a most furious gale tr.;nl the The
brig Providence, Canto, which went shore Fester- I
day at Teatshilt, still remains tlierebtath little pro-
spect of getting off; about two thirds of her cargo'
have been got on shore, and the remainder expected
to be saved. 0. P. schooner, of this Port, hav-
ing on board i;00 bags of cocoa, from Bourdeaux,
was put on the beach to stop a leak, by some acci-
dent filled with water, and the cargo is now unload-
ing for its presavat:ott. The Anna, of London, G.
S. BROWNE, Master, fired several guns this afternoon,
which appeared to be for assistance—several Pilots
went off, when they were informed it was lor the
fsfaster's amusement :—such conduct is highly blame-
able during a gale.
Five o'CLoct.—The gale still continues, with every
prospect of a very boisterous night.
