NEW YORK PAPERS.

[From the iforssatilo insertion of March o.]
The arrival of many white men at Au! Cayes and
Jactuel, from France, to establish themselves at these
places, is announced in letters from Aux Cayes. An
insurrection against Petion has taken place in the har-
bour of Sale Trots ; and Colonel Lewis Mosambique
has been shot by order of Petion, for his opposition
to the establishment of French white men. His
head was severed from his body, and exhibited on
the wharf. ,
[From the Mireastilo ifivertion of sty March, from St. D.
mingu, February es.]
By Captain Floyd, from Port-au-Prince, we learn
that a plot had been discovered to assassinate Petion,
and that the chief of the conspirators had been shot
on the very day Petion was to have been killed. The
people under that tyrant are tired of his reign, and
sooner or later will destroy him.
[From the same Parer.]
From Surinam we learn, by Captain Wylie from
Surinam, that, a few days before he sailed, a Dutch
squadron of two frigates and a brig of war, with
600 troops, had arrived there, for the purpose of
taking possession of that colony ; and the present
Governor was only waiting for orders from the Bra-
tish Commander in Chief on the West India station
to snake a formal surrender.

An American gentleman has arrived at Charleston,
with accounts from -Cartbagena having surrendered
to the royalists. The governor of that place, (Don
Juan Das Amadef) and suite, went on board a Car-
thagenian privateer, commanded by one Mitchell,
whahad promised to conduct him in safety from the
place. Atter getting out, he touched at a small
island called St. Andrews, under pretence of water-
ing ; and after inveigling the governor and suite on
shore, the treacherous villain find upon thorny and
set sail, carrying off the governor's valuables; toge•
ther with some pearls, &c. belonging to the &mein.
dient ; the whole valued at about 180,000 dollars.

V- ' ,PARIS,..IPRI4. 11.

• [PRIVATE LETTER.]
The trial of Sir Robert Wilson and his companions,
which was to have taken place yestarday the 10th, is,
owing to Lavalette's, keeper requiring further time
for his defence, deferred to the 22d.

Yon will have seen that the Tribunal of First In-
stance at Rennes, have determined that there exists
no ground for proseCution against the thirteen Coun-
sel who defended General Travot, and have accord-
inp,ly ordered them to be set at liberty. Upon the
occasion of their being denounced, Id. Laine so far
yielded to a sense of indignation, as to declare pub-
blicly, that, if he were not confined to Paris by the
duties of his office, he would repair to Reams to
assist in their defence. This opinion of the Ptesideut,
of the House of Deputies, has given much umbrage
to the High Court party. It tends to accoent for
the gross and indecent treatment be mu with latelyi n
the House of Deputies, as well as for the austere and
ungracious tone of M. de Richelieu's letter, ad-
dressed to him by orders of the King, on the occasion
of his declining the father Presidency of the House.
The following anecdote is illustrative of the cha-
racter of General Travot t—During the late cam-
paign, a bigotted peasant of La Vendee, inflamed
by the zealots of the Royal cause, resolved oa icin
attempt to assassinate him : but mistaking the Staff',
of General Lamarque for that of Travot,. and being
unacquainted with the person of his inteaded victim,
he fired upon an Aide-de•camp of that General, and
killed him. He was immediately seized, and brought
before General Lamarque, to whom, upon enamisa-
tion, he confessed his design. Whereupon General
Lamarque ordered him tole carried before Travot,
that the latter might dispose of him as he :pleased.
After inquiring what mot, vellcould prompt him touch
an action, and discovering him to be a man misled
by the fanatic suggestions of the priests, General
Travot desired him to be liberated, send to return to,
his plough, recommending him, at the same time,
in case be should be led to another attempt of du;
kind, not to make so fatal a Mistake.

Madame Trent has n6t evinced
ttliLlretli spa
fortitude than the General himself, this
arduous struggle with persecution. At the waft
of the trial, this Lady beasts intiffillM with C l
Caned, in which, after haying eadeavotnialf in vain
to move him by cassiderposas of honour andbneeep,
pity, she addressed haulm gg t— I have Ant

Of manhood, avenge, their parent by shed• ding the
blood of his mini:in.
When en attempt. was made to put the General in
him: he resisted the indignity with energy, and so
awed the jailor by his commanding tone and coun-
tenance, that the latter durst not perform his duty.
On the General's informing his Lady of this circum-
Lstance, 44 I am sorry (said she) th:it you resisted, for
this last trait of your enemies VMS wanting to com-
plete their infamy.! It was with infinite difficulty
that this Lady could obtain admission into her hus-
band's dungeon : it was never without meeting some
insult, and undergoing an examination, which was
rendered offensive to the delicacy of her sex. She
had 'come up to Paris to solicit in her husband's
behalf. All letters addressed to her from Rennes
were carefully intercepted, and she only learned the
fatal sentence by the medium of the public papers.
